This cemetery is on FM 2088 about 2 1/2 miles W of Hwy 271, at the Oak Hill Missionary Baptist Church. On Nov. 4, 1984, Carrie V. Johnson deeded land to the Baptist Church at Oak Hill and their successors. The earliest marked grave is Evalena Deen, b. 1870 d. 1870, daughter of J.L. & M.E. Deen. On April 3, 1985, the Upshur County Oak Hill Cemetery Association was incorporated as a non-profit, perpetual corporation. The names of the incorporators are: J.M. Rutledge, Larry Johnson, June Johnson, William Caldwell, L.E. Fannin, Grady Holmes, and Clyde Stracener.

Update March 2008 - Thanks go to Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann for photographing the headstones in Oak Hill and allowing us to post them online. This should make the cemetery transcription as complete as possible through March 2008.

This information was compiled in 1997 by Cheyenne Johnson and James Patterson. An update was done in March of 2000. This information was kindly donated for our use by the Upshur County Historical Commission.

Thanks to Nancy Adams, JoAnn McBride, Jane Eubanks & Geraldine Little Braswell for the pictures!
Thanks go to Anthony J. Bacala, Jr. for the picture of the JW Hackler headstone
