New Hope Cemetery (African-American) - Rutherford County, NC - Cemteries Submitted to the USGenWeb Project by Bill Floyd (wdfloyd@rfci.net) NEW HOPE CEMETERY Rutherford County, NC By W. D. Floyd This cemetery can be reached from Rutherfordton, NC by going north from town on N. Washington St. until you are almost out of town and finding a road to the west by the name of Maple Creek Road. There is also a sign pointing the way to Piedmont Baptist Church at this intersection. Go west on this road to the second left which will be only a few tenths of a mile. The cemetery will be on the left just a little ways after you make the left turn. This is the worst maintained cemetery that I have been in out of the several hundred that I have recorded. This one is a real shame. It is an African-American cemetery but it needs some real work. I am sure that it is so overgrown with briars and rose bushes that I was unable to read many of the markers. I did the best that I could. I was there April 8, 1998.
