MORGAN CEMETERY
UPDATED: Apr 2009 - Completely photographed & transcribed
by Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann.
Read by Ruby Shamburger in June, 1998 and
submitted by the Upshur County Historical Commission.
2005 - Thanks to Jane Eubanks for the great pictures!
She tells us: This cemetery is in very bad shape. It is so
overgrown, it's hard to walk around in. The boy scouts came out a
few years ago and cleaned it up but it has not been maintained and
is in bad shape again. The man who lives next to it enjoys having
visitors come by. There are several small stones lying around that
he says were graves of Indian Chiefs.
Going north from Gladewater on Hwy 271, go 5 miles from the Upshur
Co line and turn left on the county road next to the West Mountain Volunteer
Fire Dept. Go .5 mile and take the second road on the left beside a
big blue water tank. Go .2 mile and the cemetery is on the left
up on a hill by a mobile home. This cemetery is fenced and is in an
over grown condition. The Boy Scouts from Gilmer are to clean it up
soon.
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.
