I visited the Kerns Cemetery in Nov of 1998. These are the tombstone inscriptions that I copied. I did not copy every tombstone in the Cemetery, but I did get most of them.

Directions to Kerns Cemetery in Kentuck, Jackson Co, WV.
Get off I-77, Go East towards Kentuck. As you near Kentuck there will be a gravel road up a hill on the left. (If the road deadends in a "T", you have gone too far. Turn around and go back West and the road will be on your right about 1/3 of a mile). This road goes up to a house, but as you approach the crest of the hill htere is a sign that says "Cemetery" and points to the right. A dirt trail leads to the cemetery. The trail is good enough to drive on. The cemetery is in a beautiful setting on a hill with several large trees.
