Thanks to Geraldine Little Braswell  and Ernest Glenn Campbell for the pictures and information in green.
Thanks to Ken Brown for the information in navy blue.
Thanks to Carmon C. McManigell for the use of her Puckett pictures.
Thanks to Billie King Pilgrim for the information maroon.
Thanks to Peggy Sutherlin for the information in light blue.

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
