There are more rock stones and I believe others are buried here. Read by Tom
Mitchell, October, 2001.
UPDATE: Complete with pictures October 2008 by Geraldine Little Braswell &
Sandy Spann.
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. v 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.
