This compilation was done in 1986 (see credits). The copies were not
crisp so the scan copies needed to be debugged and some retyped so
if you find mistakes give feedback.

To arrive at Hopewell Cemetary, go west and southwest from
Compton on Highway 43 for about 3 1/2 miles; then turn right on a
dirt road. After going a few hundred feet, the road forks. Take the
left  fork and proceed about two miles; when the road forks again,
take  the left fork, which leads past some charcoal kilns situated
on the left  side of the road. Continue on this narrow, unimproved road
for approximately a half mile. The old Hopewell School House
can be seen on the slops down-hill to the right. The cemetery is
a fenced plot of land to the rear of the school house. The
cemetery has received no care recently and the woods are grown
sky high.
One noteworth feature of this cemetery is a certain family plot
enclosed with a handsome woven wire fence supplied with a gate. There
are three graves - one infant and two adult - but no inscription
or other clue as to who is buried there,
This description was written in 1968 so you may find that the
old school house is gone,
