Hopewell Cemetery

Part 1

Rows 1 thru 8

Submitted by Cindy Conard

Edited by: Barry Crocker

Editor's Note: When editing this work by Ms. Conard, I only changed very minor details such as spelling of some stone inscriptions. No name spellings or dates were changed. Dates are presented as day-month-year. Years are 1900's unless otherwise specified.

Located on Hwy 152, Hopewell is 1.8 miles east of Hwy 45 near Medina, TN. History indicates land for this cemetery was donated by the Watt family for the purpose of a "praying house and public burying ground". At this reading there is at least one stone named "Haley" and multiple stones names "Watt" with burial dates of 1852. This author has not documented earlier burials without stones, but it is believed there are unmarked graves throughout the cemetery. Copied by Barbara Foutch Warren. Copied 1997
