Dry Ridge Cemetery
Dry Ridge Road
Ritchie County, West Virginia


 

These headstone photos were taken on June 3, 2005 and this is a complete reading of all 
the stones in the cemetery at that time.  

After reviewing an earlier transcription done by someone else, it appears some stones may 
have been missing or covered by growth at the time of my visit.  I have provided a link to 
that transcription at the bottom of the page. 

This is a small, well kept cemetery enclosed by chain link fencing.  This year, someone was 
kind enough to take the time to make a plot map and place it at the entrance!  I'd sure 
like to find out who it was.



 Click on the person's name to see their epitaph.  Click on [Photo]to see a photo 
of their headstone. If a death certificate was found, it is included as a link too.
