Captain W. D. Thurmond’s body was moved from the original burial site near his home in Minden to Gethsemane Memorial Gardens. My 92 year old father and I were at the gravesite just today (5/3/20). I would add a photo if I could.

Captain Thurmond and his family are interred in a private area of Gethsemane Memorial Gardens in Oak Hill, WV. Capt. Thurmond’s cemetery was there many years before Gethsemane Memorial Gardens was established in the early 1970s.
