Commission for submitting this cemetery!

Thanks to Edgie Reeves-Bolton for the update July 2004 update of
names!
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.
