Information

Also known as the Ronemous Engle Cemetery, this family cemetery dates to at least 1757.

Located near the intersection of Shenandoah Junction Road and Flowing Springs Road near Duffields, West Virginia, this old family cemetery is in the middle of a farm on private property. Arrangements can be made for descendants to visit. The map location shows this intersection but not the location of the actual cemetery.

Beyond viewing and photographing actual stones, sources for this cemetery include:

-- A transcription by Mrs J M Miller published December 1934

-- "Tombstone Inscriptions Jefferson County, West Virginia 1687 - 1980" by the Bee Line Chapter NSDAR which was apparently based on the above

-- "The Melchor Engle family: history and genealogy, 1730-1940" by Winfield S. H. Engle (which can be accessed online through the Ancestry.com card catalog)
