Mount Olive Cemetery (nicknamed Goose Heaven by locals, is located on a ridge above Kodol. Access is limited to ATVs, 4 wheel drive vehicles, horseback or hiking. From Rt 7, take Brookover Rd to Kodol Rd, turn right at log building, proceed up the steep grade, bearing left at the two Y intersections. The cemetery is being kept up by Bill Utt, descendant, and others who have family buried there. The most recent burial is 1995.
There were many families living on this ridge who wanted a church on the ridge, as it was sometimes difficult to get to the churches in the hollow. Land was donated by a local man to build a church and cemetery, with the condition that the families living on the ridge, and their descendants might be buried there at no cost for the grave site. Families moved away, the church was standing idle and was torn down, but the cemetery is still used.
Many thanks to Bill Utt, who told us of the cemetery and took us there. Anectodal information was supplied by Bill, who remembered most of the persons buried there, or had heard stories. Rather than a strict alphabetical listing, I have put names together, the way they were buried, whether with a dual headstone, or individual headstones. Submitted by Donna and Gus Cross. Additional information provided by Karen Hucko.

The above two girls buried together because of circumstances surrounding their deaths. Mollie was rocking the baby in a chair near the stove. A teakettle/pot of water was boiling so hard that the pot skittered off the edge of the stove, scalding the two. Ethel died right away. Mollie some time later |
