Elam Springs Cemetery











Thanks to Tom Mitchell for sending in the cemetery pictures. Thanks go to Betty & Dorothy Chalk for this reading and to the Upshur County Historical Commission for submitting it!

Update: Thanks go to Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann for updating our listing, complete with photos - Oct 2008.

As hard as we all try, we are 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. This 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.
