Add PhotosIt is located on a hill of what used to be a meadow. Since it is now abandoned it is completely overtaken by the woods. The cemetery can only be reached by foot after a steep climb. It is located to the left off of a county road about a mile and a half west of Wallace, West Virginia. The current owners of the property have allowed me to go through their land to reach the cemetery itself.
I do not know who owns the property where the graves are located.
Adjacent to the Martin family cemetery is another cemetery whose graves are completely overgrown. These are the graves of the Boggess family. This was a black family who took care of the entire cemetery up until 1969. They moved away after Onie Boggess died. He was the last person buried there in either cemetery. There are headstones for the four graves that I have indicated in this portion of the cemetery. However, I do believe that there are others buried in this cemetery.
