    1. [MO] New Hope Cemetery Clean up
    2. Debi Bentley
    3. Hi list I just want to say I agree with Allan on how to get to the cemetery, I am a native Californian and it was easy for me to find (-: I stomped thru all that ivy and stuff to find my Civil War hero, but it was too overgrown. I even went back in the winter and just too thick! That's why we need all the help we can get.... Sat May 11th 8 am I typed up the list of the folks buried there, go to the NM website as Don has posted them. I see so many family names buried there from New Madrid. There will be a family of loggers there, and we are bringing a chain saw , weedeater and bags. Plus the city is willing to haul off what we don't burn! IT WILL BE HARD WORK BUT FUN AND REWARDING! My husband is not "into" my family search but is going with me probably to keep me from hurting myself! haha I also have a notebook full of old photos that belonged to my gg-aunt Kizzie Penick Revelle. She has 2 children buried in New Hope...these photos are turn of the century and some I know and the rest are????? I know some have names on the back we are assuming were family friends. There is Arizona and Gertrude Mathis, Whittenburg ....my family names are Dockery, Shepard, Penick, Pavey, Lackey, Revelle, Pikey, Carpenter, Pickett, Crevosieur, Masters, Jarrett and many more. They lived in the counties of New Madrid~Cape Girardeau, Bollinger, Madison and more. So stop by even if it is to say high! And help identify these lost folks! I will make copies for anyone and mail them to you. Thanks Debi Bentley abbent@direcpc.com
