Locust Grove Cemetery Pg 1

A - M

N - Z

From Gladewater, take Hwy 80 west to Almond St. (This is past Gladewater Memorial Cemetery). Turn right on Almond, go approx. 1 1/2 miles. The Locust Grove Baptist Church and cemetery will be on the left.

The stone at the front of the cemetery (see picutre) reads in part: Locust Grove Baptist Church and Cemetery established 1880. Land donated by W W Shepperd.

Transcribed & completely photographed Oct 2008 by Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann. There are numerous rocks, bricks, & blank funeral home markers marking gravesites throughout the cemetery.

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.
