Our thanks go to Stan
Stokes for reading this cemetery! Thanks to great volunteers like
Stan, we are able to put many small cemeteries online as they are found.
Update! Please note
that Alice Lane has sent in her Cranfill ancestors that are buried at Old Crow, and
they are added at the bottom of the page. We also thank Alice for sending
in the pictures that were taken in 1966. Thanks go to the Upshur
County Historical Commission for these additions.

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.
All markers with writing are included below. Additionally, there
were at least 15 unknown graves marked by native rocks only, included
two graves covered in large piles of stones.
The writing is shown exactly as on the stones, except where my parenthesis
are added for clarification.

The following three are Alice
Lane's Cranfill ancestors buried at Old Crow. In 1966 she visited
the Old Crow Cemetery with her mother, who pointed out to Alice where
the Cranfills were buried in unmarked graves. She wonders if there could
be more. Thomas Cranfill Biography |
