Page 1


From Gilmer take Hwy 154 to the right.  Go to FM 1650, and turn right. The cemetery will be on your right at the crossroads of FM 1650 & Goose Rd.  This is  a very well kept cemetery, enclosed by chain link fence.

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. This 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.

Thanks to Gerald Pennington, Geri Braswell, Jane Horn, Di Ann Tahalla, Sharon & Randy Pierce & Rod Carnahan for sending in their pictures.
