New Hope Cemetery, Rusk Co, Texas *********************************************************** Submitted by: Carolyn Green < > Date: 05 May 2007 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** From the traffic star, take Hwy 259 N a short distance until you get to Hwy 782 (aka the Chicken Feather Rd). Turn right on Hwy 782 and go 3.2 miles until you get to an unmarked dirt road on the left side of the highway. There will be a "New Hope Cemetery" sign on the right side of the highway. Turn left and drive a short distance until you come to a gate that blocks the road. Turn left on the road that is on this side of the gate and follow the road up the hill to the cemetery on the right. This is a small and well kept cemetery still in use today with the earliest burial dated 1932. Carolyn Green, May 2007.
