Shady Spring, Raleigh County, WV,

NOTE:
As Flat Top, West Virginia, is located near the area where 3 counties (Raleigh/Summers/Mercer) join, I am unsure as to the County location of the Cemetery.

Also, Willie was the sister of my beloved brother-in-law, Isaac Vernon "Vernon" Moye, who passed 1-9-2008 ... Della
