Red Rock Cemetery




Red Rock Cemetery

This cemetery is in the Gladewater city limits, but is just over the Gregg County line into Upshur County. Take Hwy 80  to the Gladewater Rodeo Grounds.  Turn left at Rodeo St, go across the tracks, take a right immediately after crossing the tracks onto Commerce St.  Go for approx. 1 1/2 miles (road will bend to the left) to Sweet Gum.  Turn right and go to the corner (no street sign), turn left, the cemetery is just down the road on the left.  As you come to the cemetery there is a road that goes into one section on the left side, and then goes around to the back of the cemetery.  There is another road that goes into the middle, and  meets the other road.

Red Rock is a very old cemetery, that was used for black & white burials.
In the far back of the cemetery there are old and new burials.

UPDATE: Photos added by Michael Parson early 2010.
Read by Sharon Pierce, Randy Pierce, Judy Greenway, & Eva Joyce Richardson.   March 3-4, 2001

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.
