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.

Note by Ron Wade:
"Ola Latch, daughter of old-time Upshur Sheriff, L.A. "Daddy" Latch for whom the Latch Community was named, was the 1st wife of my grandfather, Harvey Wade. She died early in their marriage. My grandfather told me often of the tales Daddy Latch told him of his days with the Jesse James Gang.  He said Mr. Latch said he was "Old Jack" in the gang. I found a book "Desperate Men" by James Horan mentioning James Latche verifying old Sheriff Latch's tales. Seems though he was a "hanger-on" to the gang and led to Jesse's killing or even assisted in killing Pinkerton Agent John W. Whicher (see pages 94-97--Latche is recalled at top of page 96). Sheriff Latch told my grandfather of Jesse coming through Upshur Co. once and hiding loot in a small cave here. Years later my grandfather used a map drawn by Daddy Latch and found the cave with a broken-lid strong box but no treasure! Anyway, the book verifies "Old Jack" was at least around Jesse James and wanted to be part of the gang whether he was or not."
