There are only 7 burials here, three still have readable stones. 4 are still marked, but are damaged and are no longer readable.

Data from LDS file done by Chessie Lou Sander Mellon Pollary.(1914-1997) of Salt Lake Utah..
Probably with the help of Mrs. Mytris M. Wylie (1883-abt1980) of Waco Texas who came to Upshur Co and kept up the Sanders Cemetery for 40 years. She is the daughter of Rev. Louis Miller and Louella Sanders.

I have a picture of the cemetery before the Vandals destroyed the tombstones.    Sarrah Martin Amos (now deceased)

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.
