NEW HOPE CEMETERY [African-American], Brookman, Glynn Co., Georgia
Transcribed by Amy Hedrick, August 2003

From the intersection of Hwy. 17 south and Hwy. 82 west, travel four miles west on Hwy. 82, turn right on Emanuel Church Road, and two tenths of a mile on your right is the cemetery.

A small, well cared for cemetery. The original church that was built after the Civil War for the African-American people in this vicinity, is still standing.

All but two of the graves were in a straight line running east to west.  The last two graves were just above this line, due to a large bush that is growing there.
