Kelsey Cemetery
The cemetery has an arched name sign over the entrance gate, a circle
drive through it, and an exit gate. The cemetery is Read October 1998 by Fayrene Bonebrake.
Submitted by the Upshur County Historical Commission.
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 NORTH SECTION Female Buckley (no dates) 1st W/o Arthur Buckley Alma
