Lafayette Cemetery - African American
Lafayette Cemetery - African American
Thanks go to the Upshur County Historical Commission
for submitting this cemetery!
Read by Edgie Reeves, Betty Farmer and Frances Farmer.
Thanks to Edgie Reeves-Bolton for the update July 2004 update of names!
UPDATE: Thanks to Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann
for completly photographing the cemetery in June 2008!
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.
Starting at the northeast side and going south.
