Thanks to Jane Eubanks, Geraldine Little Braswell, & Sandy Spann for the pictures.

UPDATE: Thanks to Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann for this full transcription complete with pictures April 2009.
Thanks go to Maribeth Buce for giving us her partial reading.

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. 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.
