Old Ripley - Early Settlers Cemetery - Jackson County, WV


Location: In Northeast Ripley.

I visited the cemetery in May, 2006. It is fenced and well tended although the grass was pretty high that day. Photos were taken of the markers that were legible. For a larger resolution picture, email your request to me at Betty Briggs
