WALNUT CREEK CEMETERY




2 miles north of Diana on US 259, then .2 miles east on FM 726, then .25 miles S on Sego Lily Road.

Thanks to Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann for their transcription complete with photos April 2009.
Thanks go to Gerald Pennington for some new burial updates May 2009.
Thanks go to Gerald Pennington and his mother Mable Jean Stephens for the use of their reading and pictures. This reading is up to date as of May, 2003.
Thanks go to Jane Eubanks for the use of her pictures.
Thanks go to Maribeth Buce for the use of her October 2001 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.

There are approximately 114 graves marked with rocks, bricks, or rusted markers.
