When I was in Weakley Co this past weekend, I had just taken the info concerning the New Hope cemetery involved in the vandalism scandal. Before finding the cemetery, I stopped at the Dresden Enterprise office to get copies of the papers with the articles. As it turned out, my people were not buried there but it was interesting to see the church. After a few other cemetery stops, we ate lunch at The Hearth, which by the way, was delicious! The folks there were very helpful and called the funeral home for me to get the directions to the other two New Hope cemeteries. Of course, as luck would have i,t we found our folks at the last New Hope cemetery near Tumbling. There were relatives in Tumbling Creek and Butler, so I just have guessed it would have been that one.' Anyway, we had a full day travelling around the backroads of the county. It was a lot of fun!
