From Soules Chapel Church go south on FM 556 one mile to Crocodile Rd.  Turn right and go .2 mile. The cemetery is 200 yards south of  Crocodile Rd in a pasture in the edge of some woods.  Pasture is owned by Leon Spencer.

The cemetery is fenced, with marker over the gate.  The day Curtis read this the gate was ope and cows had broken several monuments---since then the monuments have been repaired and cemetery has been cleaned up.

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.

There are more than 10 graves unmarked.
