"According to recent email of Dodie Smith Browning, the granddaughter of Harvey & Synthia Workman Smith."NONE of them are buried in the Shade Smith Cemetery except Shade Smith and maybe some his family. The Shade Smith Cemetery is at Bulwark Fork of Harts Creek (Whirlwind), in back of where he lived when he died. Back in the old days, families were buried in the yard or up the hill from the house- reason there are so many little cemeteries all over Logan County! Grandpa Harve is buried in the Smith Cemetery on top of the mountain at Briar Branch (Whirlwind). Grandma Synthia Ann and my dad, Paris Smith are buried at the home place Smith Carter Cemetery at Whirlwind (Big Harts Creek). My Aunt Amanda and her husband Edward Carter Jr. are buried same place."
"The problem is that the cemeteries are not listed in the given cemeteries.
"There is only one Smith Cemetery listed for Whirlwind and none for Big Harts."

"I received this email from Dodie Smith Browning, a cousin who knows very well what she is talking about. She has done extensive genealogy research for many years."She had actually lived in the area and grew up there, and/or attended the funeral of some of those I have listed. She has informed me that some names and location of given cemeteries here are incorrect, therefore I am doing what I can to correct any errors. Special thanks to her for her help.
"Barb, Grandma Synthia Ann Smith was NOT buried in the Carter Workman Cemetery. I suspect Carter Workman did have his own cemetery, but grandma was buried at the Harve Smith old home place. (Grandpa Harve is not buried there though). My dad gave the info on grandma's death record and they spelled his name wrong and got the name wrong. Grandma was the first one buried there and it is SMITH/CARTER CEMETERY at Whirlwind, WV. "
