About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Cemetery was cleared and restored in 2013 as an Eagle Scout project of Andrew Baldwin, however it appears that no maintenance has been performed since then, as it is becoming overgrown again. It is not accessible by car, a short hike is required. All extant grave markers have been photographed.

Description by Andrew Baldwin:

New Hope Cemetery was used by members of the old New Hope ME Church, which was established about 1885 by black members of the Franklin Methodist Church. Only seven stones mark graves in the cemetery, but several dozen members of the small church were laid to rest there. We may never know the exact number, but from death certificates issued after 1909, a list of 20 individuals were buried in New Hope in unmarked graves. Plus, another 8 individuals were most likely buried in New Hope. Given that the land was used as a cemetery for about two decades before the state began requiring death certificates, the number of people buried in New Hope is much larger.
