Snow Hill Cemetery
AKA Boxwood





Located in Ore City, this cemetery is fairly well maintained and fenced, but does have many unmarked graves. 

Read Oct 23, 1998 by Bill Starnes and submitted by the Upshur County Historical Commission.
Thanks to Maribeth Buce for the
pictures and the updates.

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 web site bigger and better.

Unmarked Graves sent in by Helen J. Thompson Sullivan :
Joseph Thompson - Joseph's wife was Caroline Wright Thompson (don't have her birth date), died October 7, 1863, buried at Snow Hill. The story has been handed down that he
came home from the Civil War ill and they both died around the same time. Joseph's mother -- Julia Ann Woody Thompson, born May 17, 1814, in North Carolina died, July 2, 1867, buried at Snow Hill. Julia was Alfred's first wife. He had another wife named Phebe (?). I think she is buried there. She also says:  I have a copy of a paper which states that Alfred and P. T. (Phebe) Thompson donated some land, which was close to the Thompson School House and Alfred Thompson's pasture, to the Thompson Community for a burial ground or grave yard. Guess this is Snow Hill Cemetery.
