Spencer Memorial Cemetary
Tombstone Photos

The following tombstone photos were submitted by Ted McMullen. All of these Greathouse tombstones are located in the Spencer Memorial Cemetary, Spencer, WV. This cemetary is of special interest because the land for the cemetary was donated to the county by John Greathouse Sr. and Sarah McDade Greathouse on May 25, 1857. Ted also included a copy of the deed showing this transfer of land to Roane County, VA now WV. Ted states that he can not identify most of these graves.

If any Greathouse Cousin can provide more information on any of these grave markers please contact Ted McMullen and Greathouse Point with your information.

A note from Ted: "You will note that their gravestones have their names spelled GRATEHOUSE. I don't understand the reason for this, in every other document, censuses, deeds etc. the names are spelled correctly. The only other place I have seen it spelled this way is on their Marriage Bond which was filed in Mason County, September17, 1806. This bond was handwritten by a person who apparently was not very literate as he spelled Sarah's surname, Mickdade and in another place Micdade."
