6. Elizabeth (Eye) Puffenbarger
Elizabeth (Eye) Puffenbarger is the wife of Andrew Jackson Puffenbarger. The following death certificate says she is buried in the Abe Cemetery. No marker is present. She is believed to be buried in one of the last four spaces in Row 14 of Group A.
Her husband, Andrew, is listed on his death certificate as buried in the Maplewood Cemetery in Elkins, WV. He was living with or near a son, Benjamin Lee Puffenbarger in Beverly, WV at the time of his death.
NOTE: Someone has recently placed concrete markers for three graves in this plot. The names listed on these markers are Andrew Barkley (no dates), Bowman Barkley (1886-1956) and Fannie Barkley (1892-1962). Bowman is the husband of Fannie Barkley. Fannie is the daughter of Andrew Jackson and Elizabeth (Eye) Puffenbarger.
Andrew Barkley is possibly 17 year old "Henry Andrew Barkley", son of Bowman and Fannie Barkley, who died on December 31, 1930 of burns received when his car's gas tank caught fire. No records have been found yet to place his burial in this cemetery.
This could make the last four graves in Group A Row 14 (#8-11) the final resting place of Elizabeth (Eye) Puffenbarger, Fannie (Puffenbarger) Barkley, Bowman Barkley and Henry Andrew Barkley. The exact order of burial is still uncertain.
