      So true, & cemetery upkeep goes downhill so fast when the church attached no longer exists. There's one I know of like this...the church was torn down to build a service station & a bank on the property. No one had any say in the matter - it was just done. 😢

      I agree. There should be some way these companies can be held responsible and repairs be made. But when they tear up field stone markers who can ever know where they should be. I hope this gets reported.

    Thank you Robert, Other Robert, and Cody for revealing the people to us. You give so much respect to each grave site, each name and birth/death dates, and their epitaphs.
    Looking forward to learning more about New Hope Cemetery!

That would have been the ideal childhood and you know a majority of the places I use to play as a kid are subdivisions now and that makes me pretty sad, I grew up in a subdivision next to a few hundred acres with creeks and caves and old gold mining machines that were still there from the 1800's and I would play in these creeks and caves every single day of my childhood and have so many great memories from then, I went by my old childhood home recently and all those woods I use to play in are now gone and subdivisions now and it's the same in about 70 percent of the places I use to play as a kid, there either subdivisions or shopping complexes or apartment complexes, just to many damn people now lol, I'm 44 with no kids but still want to start a family and if I ever do I'm gonna try to migrate up into the mountains maybe around Blue Ridge so my kids can have the same experiences I did as a kid, before we know it there want be any wilderness around for our kids to play in and what a shame that is

    This was quite interesting definitely want to see part 2. There was some real nice head stones. Back in that time it cost a lot to have such ornate stones ( of course to this day they still cost). I gather they came in n cut a lot of cedar trees but they sure left a mess. Just pushed the wood in a pile. They could of cleaned them up some. Show some respect to the dead. Always enjoy your adventures. ♥️♥️😊👍👍

    Shaffer Noel Hargett was called up to Camp Gordon July 22,1918. On Oct 2, 1918, 138 soldiers at Camp Gordon were infected with Spanish flu. Shaffer died Nov. 20, 1918 aged 29. I don’t know if this was his cause of death but it seems very likely. His draft registration says he was married, a farmer, with dark hair and stout in stature. I am not connected to him, I was just wondering about him.
