Coalwood White Cemetery/Feher Temeto

Location: Mud Hole Holler, Coalwood
Standing in the middle of the plot N - 37 - 23.363 min w-81 - 39.610
There are at least 150 marked stones. There are many unmarked stones.
The earliest known marker is dated 1892. The last person buried here was Alfred Puchy
who received special permission from the Olga Coal Company to be buried next to his parents (1988).
Az utolso szemely akit itt temettek el az a Puchy Alfred volt aki kulon engedejt kapott az Olga szen
banyatol arra hogy a szulei melett lehessen eltemetve (1988).
This cemetery is in major decline! Several years ago the state cleared trees off the property to
help with maintenance. Today the growth from the lack of trees is strangling the cemetery. There
are a handful of gravesites that can be seen, the others are covered in total overgrowth. Due to
the extreme nature of the cemetery, we could not record the stones or get the four corner co-ordinances,
which we had planned. Hopefully after the next winter, we will be able to access the cemetery and further
document it.
