NEAL CEMETERY
(Old Gilmer - Black)



  H - N
O - Z



More commonly known as the black section of the Old Gilmer Cemetery.

Update: 2008 Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann did a complete reading with photos.  Thanks girls!!!

Our thanks to the Upshur County Historical Commission along with Patsy Williams and LaVelle Crow for allowing us to use their reading.
Our thanks also go to Eva Joyce Richardson for the use of her complete reading Dec. 2002.

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.
