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.

J J A The 845          We don't have a clue what this stone is about.  If anyone knows, please contact Etta & Elaine.   UPDATE: Thomas F Sachse has offered the following possibility for the meaning: If we assume the stone marks a grave.  Then the letters JJA are likely initials for the person’s name.  The stone may mark the gravesite of a confederate soldier.  McCulloch from Texas commanded a Division that formed in Arkansas.  The First Brigade of Arkansas was under the command of Col. McIntosh.  A brigade is composed of many regiments of varying troop sizes.  The First Regiment Arkansas Mounted Riflemen under the command of Churchill had 845 men.  I have heard veterans speak (WWII), for example they may just say they were with “the 82^nd” and it is understood to mean they were with the 82^nd Airborne Division.  I suspect since the Regiments had unique numbers of troops for initial muster that this grave marker which may have only intended to be temporary used “the 845” as it is simpler to carve in a limited space rough surface stone than trying to carve The First Regiment Arkansas Mounted Riflemen.  Because there is no date, I speculate the family did not bury or the stone was temporary.
