Alva Memorial Gardens (Black Star) Cemetery Alva, Harlan County, Kentucky Contributed by Trent Hall, Dec 22, 2000 [bubbyt@yahoo.com]. Total records = 226. This is an old coal mining camp cemetery. The mining camp is completely torn down. The Cemetery is still beautifully taken care of. A lot of people who had family from this area will appreciate this. This contains every legible stone in the Cemetery. I completed this in Oct of 2000. -- Trent Hall
