Medlin Baby Cemetery
East Mountain, Upshur County, Texas, USA
There are 19 known babies buried in this cemetery, first child was buried in 1886 and the last in 1938. Information was provided to Doris Medlin by John Wesley Medlin and Jessie Medlin Harris and recorded in Gilmer Library archives in 1964.
In the 1960s the cemetery was fenced separating it from farm land. At that time there were only three graves that had ground level, gray granite, markers with the last name "Owens." Some of the others had rusty, tin, funeral home markers, others were marked simply by iron ore rocks. Today, forty years later, the cemetery is lost. The fencing has been removed at some point and the graves were lost. Two graves locations were found and marked with PVC tubing. The other graves are in a north-south bearing of these markers and about ten feet apart.
