More commonly known as the black
section of the Old Gilmer Cemetery.
Update: 2008 Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann did
a complete reading with photos. Thanks girls!!!
Our thanks to the Upshur County Historical
Commission along with Patsy Williams and
LaVelle Crow for allowing us to use their reading.
Our thanks also go to Eva Joyce Richardson for the use of her complete
reading Dec. 2002.
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.
