Peterville Church Cemetery

Peterville Church Cemetery

The Peterville Church cemetery was surveyed on March 9, 2000 by Sharon L. Nowery, Catherine L. Nowery and Helen Graham. The church is no longer standing, and the cemetery is in disrepair. In addition to the tombstones listed below, there is an overturned engraved stone that could not be read, about 30 stones markers and many unmarked graves.
The cemetery may be located by taking Rt. 60 West 1.4 miles after Rt. 522. Park along the road by the pond. Walk to the right of the pond, and the cemetery will be a short distance from there.
