Read More	The Cheuvront Cemetery is located on a hill at the north end of Churchville on the site of the old Rufus Cheuvront farm. The access road is on the east side of Rt. 9 (Churchville Road) about a quarter of a mile north of the intersection of Rt. 9 and the turnoff to Isaac's Fork Road. The cemetery comprises just a handful of graves. On October 21, 1993, Charles White and Lovell Bush found and were able to read five headstones (for Rufus, Lydia, Leman, Clara, and Lucy), as part of the cemetery census done in Lewis County by the Hacker's Creek Pioneer Descendants (HCPD), a historical and genealogical society of Central West Virginia.(Note 1) On July 24, 2015, with permission from the current land owner, Sharon Kemper Suarez and William Lott Gum (2nd Cousins once removed and descendants of Rufus Allen Cheuvront and Lydia Woofter) located the small graveyard.(Note 2) Gum and Suarez found what appeared to be four of the five markers read by White and Bush in 1993, as well as an additional marker for Jesse Allen Cheuvront, who died in a house fire in 1950. The two earliest burials were for Rufus and his wife, Lydia, whose grave markers appeared to be simple fieldstones with their names etched by hand, though both were nearly impossible to read.(Note 3) Readable grave markers were found for Leman, Clara, and Jesse. Suarez and Gum found this little cemetery, generally, to be in very poor condition, with marked subsidence and significant vegetative overgrowth. Because the Cheuvront family no longer owns the farm, the cemetery cannot be accessed easily. The farm road leading to the small cemetery is barred by a locked gate and those who wish to view the graves must first make arrangements with the new owner. ---------- Footnotes (1) Cemeteries of Lewis County, WV, and Adjacent Counties, Vol. VII, p. 43. Compiled by Matha Byrd, President, HCPD Cemetery Committee and published by Hacker's Creek Press in 1994. (2) Full credit for locating the cemetery is given to Gum, because he lived in the Churchville area all his life, remembered the graveyard, and knew where to look for it. He also obtained permission from the current owners to unlock the gate and drive up to the site. (3) It is possible these markers are foot stones, but if other markers for Rufus or Lydia exist, they lie under dense forest debris or have subsided.
