About

This free space page for the Point Mountain Cemetery is part of WikiTree's West Virginia Cemeteries Project, and was created to document the life and times of our ancestors that are interred there. The West Virginia Cemeteries Project is a subproject of the larger U.S. Cemeteries Project.

Point Mountain Cemetery is located at 5205 Point Mountain Road (aka Highway 15), Webster Springs, West Virginia. This cemetery is located in Webster County, West Virginia. The cemetery is owned and maintained by the Point Mountain Community Church.

This cemetery is in Excellent condition. The lawn and gravestones are kept up regularly. These Ancestors are lovingly cared for with almost every gravesite having permanent plants (mostly clusters of lilies).

The Church is no longer in use but maintained. There is only one small gravel drive and it is uphill. When heavy snow or rain, the gravel drive is near impossible to use.

History

This cemetery is also sometimes referred to the "Lower Point Mountain Community Cemetery." and “Point Mountain Community Cemetery.”

• The earliest confirmed burial was of Benjamin Franklin Hamrick in 1895.

• The last confirmed burial was of Richard Lee Kyle in 2022.

Veterans

• Cecil Lawrence Armentrout (1930-2003)
• Emery Ray Armentrout (1934-1981)

Interments

There are over 350 recorded interments in Point Mountain Cemetery.

There are several misc pieces of embedded large flat stones (similar to granite) mostly up on top of the hill. These could be markers of graves but with no indication, it is hard to tell. There are also a lot of the funeral home little metal signs with no tombstones.

This page is a work in progress, and will remain so until the Table of Interments (below) is completed. The Table of Interments is a sortable listing of persons interred at this cemetery, some or all of whom are linked to existing WikiTree profiles. Although all grave markers in this cemetery have been photographed, the photos can only be displayed for persons with existing WikiTree profiles.

If you know of a person interred at this cemetery that should be linked to an existing WikiTree profile, or needs to have a profile created for them, please contact Sandy Patak for assistance (FAG name is Kit and most of the photos of this cemetery on that website are my originals.) Sandy Patak is related to most of the ancestors in this cemetery and can also help with general genealogy.
