Located on the Shreve property, to the right hand of the Kesling Mill Road, one mile north of U.S. Route 33 east of Buckhannon. (And to think, I Janelle was not so far from the Shreve property. Woe is me for not going there. But it will make for another interesting trip and I will know my way around the area.) Read for the Upshur County Genealogical Society by Ruthine Gee and Lelah Gee with the kind assistance of Mrs. Clyde Bennett, on October 25, 1987
I, Janelle Warden, found this in the Elkins-Randolph County Public Library
