As hard as we all try, we are all human and sometimes when reading a cemetery we miss a grave covered with leaves, fireants, or bushes. Sometimes the headstone has sunk and is mostly underground. Our area also has many graves only marked with iron ore rocks and even many unmarked graves. There are headstones that have long ago been destroyed by the elements or even vandalizm, and are hard to impossible to read the details. We would appreciate it if you would let us know if you did not find your relative which was buried here, and would appreciate your letting us use the information you know about them. With the combined efforts of us all, we can make the Upshur County website bigger and better. Cemetery History Marker & Wilkinson headstone photos submitted by Clarine S Tucker.

G - 1869 Rock Vault Amoss, T G - 1940 Rock Vault Banigan, Martin V J Nov 26, 1918 May 5, 1980 - Barker, W O Feb 16, 1816 Mar 2, 1874 Per Ronald Wade -  Dr. William Oliver Barker Jr., born in South Carolina, the son of William Oliver Barker Sr (1787 – 1857) and Elizabeth Dollar (1787 – 1858).  In 1850 at Bethlehem, Upshur Co., Tx. he married Julia A. Crain (1828 – 1884).  Their children included Mary Ann Barker (1851 – 1926), Dr. William Louis Barker Sr. (1852 – 1921), Susan Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Barker (1855 – 1921), Julia Barker (1857 – 1880), and Hallie Eugenia Barker (1860 – 1888).  Dr. Barker was a student of the famous Morgan H. Looney school of Gilmer, Upshur Co., Tx.  His family wrote "He studied extensively in Charleston, Philadelphia, and New York, becoming a fine linguist and "highly cultivated in all his tastes". He also told of W.O. Barker, who seems to have preferred using initials only, going first to Tuscaloosa. Alabama in 1840 to practice, arriving in texas in 1846. Serving probably in the series of communities he finally settled in South East Upshur County near "Pine Tree" which later became Bethlehem. There he married Julia A. Crain (1828-1884), who had come to Texas from Hinds County, Mississippi with her father, Lewis Crain (b. 1787). W.O. Barker became a physician-farmer of eastern Texas, owning about 1000 acres up to 1868. He moved to Dallas during part of 1869, posting an advertisement in the growing town which stated he would "visit patients at any hour, day or night", giving "special attention to women and children". Returing to the 30 acres he had kept in Upshur County, he was stricken a few years later with his final illness."  Dr. Barker would certainly have served in the Civil War or sent a "replacement" but I find no records for him.
