Thanks to Jane Eubanks for the pictures!

Surrounded by chain link fence, with large arched entryway.

Just inside the cemetery is a marble stone inscribed with the following:  John H and Lucinda Mitchell bought this land (640 acres) Jan 3, 1856 and moved the first Cotton Gin from Georgia to Upshur County.  They grew cotton on this land and hauled it to Jefferson to market on ox wagons.  Lucinda Mitchell was the first one buried in this cemetery.

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.
