About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

To find the Bemis Cemetery, turn south on CR 27 in Alpena, West Virginia and travel toward Glady. When you reach the community of Glady, turn right on CR 22. About one mile after turning on CR 22 you will cross the Bemis Bridge over the Shaver Fork River. The road will immediately curve to the right. The cemetery is in the curve. There are no tombstones in the cemetery. My information was found in a book named "Bemis & Glady West Virginia: A History of Two Mountain Towns" by Steve Bodkins. There are more burials in the cemetery, but this is all that is known at the present time. Bemis, in it's heyday, was a thriving lumber town of a few thousand people. Today it is the home of 13 full time residents, some of whom are quite colorful, and many summer and winter visitors that own fishing camps in the area. It is a sportsman's paradise. On the way to Bemis and about halfway between Alpena and Glady, you can see the gravesite of Peter Shaver, a Revolutionary War patriot that was killed on the spot by Indians. The river and mountain he is buried on is named after him. Glady is another historical, old town that is now the home for sportsman and a historical cemetery of its own.
