Markwood/Michael Cemetery
This cemetery is located back in the Fairfax stone quarry close Scherr, WV

There is one huge monument for the Markwood family with 6 names on the front and two names on one end and the parents listed on the other end.  Down in front of this huge marker is a row of little stones the same color as the huge marker with their initials on them.  This monument must be between 6 and 7 feet tall.

Elder William Michael, September 20, 1912, December 01, 1886, 71 yr, 2 mo. 11 days.

Phebe, wife of Wm Michael, died February 14, 1893   68 yrs 6 months.

Eliza Beth, wife of G. P. Mason born January 04, 1858  died March 18, 1905

Adam Michael died February 06, 1892 at 71 yrs, 7 months

Beside of Adam was a monument that was very hard to read. It looked like James or Jane.   Born March 05, 1855, died July 25, 1904.  Could this be his daughter Eliza �Jane� born about 1854 who married Jesse Hays?

Perhaps there are numerous other unmarked graves in this cemetery.
