LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, New Hope graveyard:
                  1936 Aug 12
                  Research made by Scioto M. Herndon

Cemetery Location:  New Hope Graveyard and New Hope M.E. Church, South are 
                    located on the east edge of New Hope, Virginia
                    Augusta County




This graveyard is on a sloping hillside, and is well kept.  There are no fallen 
stones and none of the graves have sunken very far.  There are a number of 
wooden and rock markers which bear no inscriptions.  The earliest date is 1850.  
There are very few old epitaphs in the cemetery.  Here is the grave of Wm. A. 
Mauser, killed in the Battle of Piedmont, July 6, 1864
