This is the town where I have been MD'ing all week. Grafton WV.

This is where I want to MD next. Not the cemetery, the house in the center.

I have been spending time this week at the courthouse and tracking down the owner's. I have talked to them twice. We get along well, but they say the final word is with the wife's father. Still waiting.
The house isn't that big of a deal. It is the location. There was a LOT of military activity here. Bodies where taken off the train and buried on this hillside. I can't MD the cemetery, but the house is on the tracks, beside the cemetery.

This is an honor I wouldn't want.

I bet when they buried them there weren't any rings on their fingers.

I did think it was funny that a sign there said, "No picnicking."
