CHRISTIAN HOPE CEMETERY


Thanks to Jane Eubanks for the pictures.

From map locations we feel this is the proper name for this cemetery.  If we have erred, please e-mail and let us know. This cemetery is located at Hwy 271 N and Sunflower Rd, north of Gilmer.  In the Upshur County Archives, there is a cemetery marked Unknown, that was read by Mark Stevens in 1999.....this is the same cemetery.  Mark has several headstones  that are not included in this reading, and this may be that some of them were funeral home markers that are no longer in place.  You may want to check Mark's reading if you feel your family has been left out here. ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/upshur/cemeteries/unkcem.txt

Read in August of 2001 by Maribeth Buce

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.
