This cemetery was read by Ryan Coker, Thomas Coker, and Trey Chapman
on August 1, 1990 for Ryan's Eagle Scout project. Thank you Ryan for
allowing us to use your information on our Upshur County, TX GenWeb
Project!
An
August, 1998 reading by Ruby Shamburger and submitted by the
Upshur County Historical Commission is listed below the first reading.
Some headstone picures taken Jan 9, 2006 by Etta Withers & Elaine
Martin.
This cemetery is located west of Gladewater on Hwy. 80, behind the
Glade Memorial Cemetery just inside the Upshur County line. Take Hwy.
80 W from Gladewater, turn right on Locust Rd. for 1 mile. The access
road is approximately 50 yards on the left. The cemetery is surrounded
by a 4 foot high cyclone fence. It is well kept and in use. The cemetery
sits on the edge of a grove of trees, with several large oak trees,
making this a very peaceful and undisturbed setting.
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.
