Today we finished the New Hope Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery survey and it should be on-line very soon. We counted 630 graves and there are numerous partial stones and bricks sticking out of the ground that may or may not be markers for graves. If anyone has relatives buried in that cemetery, you might want to check their grave site markers. Don't know if it is due to the storms or vandalism, but many of the very old and tall monuments have been damaged. Some have toppled over, broken into, and some have the ornaments/decorative pieces on the monuments broken off. This is a very old historical cemetery and should be preserved as much as possible. One interesting note about the cemetery. We found veterans from the 1812 War, Civil War, W.W.I., WWII. Viet Nam, and Korean Wars. There were more Confederate flags on graves than any other. There were also a very large number of infants buried there. It was not unusual to find family plots with one to three infants buried side by side. This must have been a very painful experience for the parents. Doing the survey was very satisfying and rewarding and if someone is helped by the information, it will be even more rewarding.
