Regarding the burial of Thomas Jefferson Isner and wife Martha Ellen (Phillips) Isner.  E-mail correspondence with Margaret Isner Simpson on March 4, 2008.

"The dual highway going east out of Elkins went right through the area where some of the Isners lived. There is a mountain called Isner Mountain and a Creek called Isner creek. If you leave Elkins going to Beverly you will go over the creek. If you leave Elkins going to Harman you will be on Isner Mountain.    When this road went through, it went through the Isner Burial grounds and J. Herman Isner and my Uncle Howard were there with the surveyors etc. when they decided what graves would have to be moved. Thomas Jefferson and his wife were two that had to be moved. If I am not mistaken there was no stone or if so, it would have been a field stone. They finally decided where the graves were. They dug into the soil and all they found was dark soil. J. Herman Isner had their remains moved to Maplewood Cemetery at Elkins and had monuments placed for them.    I do not know for sure if it was the exact grave or not. I remember J. Herman Isner telling us that Uncle Howard thought the graves ran down hill and Herman said that could not be. At the same time J. Herman Isner had another grave to be moved because of the road. He said the person was a young woman and had died in the 30's when her casket was open she looked like she had just died. Of course Thomas and his wife were not embalmed and probably put in wooden caskets. My mother spoke of going by grave yards in the night and seeing phosphorous coming out of the graves. I think it is called Fox Fire."
