Our heartfelt thanks go to Tom Mitchell for the pictures and his partial reading, October, 2001. We also thank Sabere & Fred Strickland for the complete reading of Fonda Cemetery. Submitted by the Upshur County Historical Commission. We combined the two readings to help assure no one was missed.

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. This 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.

There are a number of rock markers with no names but many funeral directors metal markers which are deteriating and soon will be gone.
