GILMER CITY CEMETERY (NEW)
(The city of Gilmer refers to this section of the cemetery as Greenwood
Cemetery. The public knows this section as simply the New Gilmer City
Cemetery. There are no signs to designate the difference in name for
the Old section and the New section, which causes some confusion.)
Our thanks go to the Upshur County Historical
Commission for the use of their reading.
We also thank Eva Joyce Richardson for her updated complete reading
Dec. 2002.
Thanks go to Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann for photographing
all the headstones April 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 readthe 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.
