* This list of burials at the FREED Cemetery was published in a Calhoun Co. Genealogy Society newsletter dated 1986. It was compiled by Mrs. Ilene Wager, Box 34, Big Springs, WV, a descendant of a long line of the original settlers in this part of the county. Mrs. Wager had access to many elders and their documents & records, as well as first hand knowledge of the cemeteries.
