As hard as we all try, we are all 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. This cemetery is
very old, probably started about 1850.
Thanks to Maribeth Buce & Jane Eubanks for the pictures!

There are numerous graves in this cemetery marked only with a
rock. The names and dates for
these graves are lost to time. However, these rocks should
not be disturbed or removed.
There are five rock
vaults (large flat rock, placed above ground on a flat
rock back). These
type graves, although fairly common in Upshur County, are unique
and should be protected from
destruction or removal.
