    3. Elaine, The Frog Hollow Cemetery is also known as Foreman Graveyard. The graveyard is located on land that was once owned by David Foreman (1755-1795). It is maintained by Marvin Sine of Cold Stream. I believe that I published the inscriptions in my Historical Records....book, integrated alphabetically into the book manuscript. I also published an extensive genealogical history of the Foremans (West Virginia Advocate) which contained photos of reunions held there at the Foreman graveyard. Yes, it is located in Frog Hollow at Cold Stream, which is in between Slanesville and Capon Bridge. Wilmer L.

You can appreciate how I laughed when I learned that one of my g-grandmother's sisters was reportedly buried in "Frog Hollow Cemetery." Of course, I'm still trying to locate that cemetery with no success thus far. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. The family was from the Hanging Rock area (between Augusta & Capon Bridge) and moved across the river to the Flintstone/Oldtown area during the Civil War. I have checked the cemetery in the Frog Hollow area of Oldtown with no success. I know there is a hollow named Frog Hollow in the hills/mtns north of Capon Bridge. Does anyone know if there is a cemetery in that vicinity? This woman died in 1918, and I can't imagine that she was taken back there for burial, but at this point, I am open to any suggestions.

    3. Wilmer K., Thanks for the lead on Frog Hollow Cemetery. I pulled out my copy of your book, but found nothing on my g-grandmother's sister. She was Sarah Eleanor Moreland, married a Huff in the mid-1850's, was widowed apparently during the Civil War, was found living in eastern Allegany Co. in 1870, remarried a Goldsborough there in 1870's, was widowed again in 1891, and died in 1918. I'll just have to keep looking. Thanks again. Elaine
