The way I found out where my Grandmother was burried was from her Death Certificate it had Harrison County Infermery. If this is listed then that is where they where burried up the hill beside the 4-H center.( Tom Sears -director of the 4-H center know where this cemetery is at.) I know that there are about 100 graves at the County Infirmary Cemetery. There are only 2 stones there. The county did not keep up with where they burried each person. If it list poor Farm then they where burried behind the house at the PoorHome. I have been told that the Country Club Car dealership had these graves moved to the top of the hill on the road next to the paint shop. I have been there and seen them. There are about 30 graves up there. If you have people that are listed in the County Infirmary Cemetery please list them with my listing under Cemeterys please. I would like to try to get back to West Virginia next year to clean up this grave sight and get my grandmother a head stone.
