HOPEWELL CEMETERY
Our thanks go to the Upshur County Historical
Commission for allowing us to use their reading of Hopewell Cemetery. The
reading was done by: Thurman Hearn, Thurman Cagle, Durward Amos,
Finley Tucker, Garland Bullock, and Curtis Hart. It was completed
June 1, 2000. Thanks also go to Lea
Ann Tedford for the use of her partial reading. We have
merged the two to help insure no one was missed. There are many unmarked
graves, and graves marked only with native rocks.
Update: Thanks to Billy L Thompson,
Sue Kennington, and Fendley Tucker, Secretary/Treasurer of the Hopewell
Cemetery, for the recent update. This should make the listing
current through May 24, 2009.
Update: Thanks to Sandra L Spann & Geraldine L Braswell for completely
photographing the cemetery in April of 2008!
Thanks
to Kim Wolff & Sondra Petty Nicholson for the use of their pictures.
