NEW HOPE CEMETERY

Est. ca 1859

 

This cemetery is located about 17 miles southwest of El Dorado,

in the Three Creeks and Salem Road area. 

This information originally extracted from earlier surveys done by

Ralph O. Weldon and Will Walls with  the latest done in March 2001.

The cemetery has been badly vandalized according to their canvass. 

Submitted  April 12, 2004.

Update and pictures April 16, 2006; This cemetery is not in the best of  condition.

It is surrounded by a chain link fence, but many tombstones are broken, turned over &

or have become unreadable. 

It does not appear to have been mowed or debris from large oak tree picked up in a long time.

The Cenotaph erected for Jenkins H. Welch & Penelope Carroll Welch appears to be the only new

item in the cemetery since the 2001 canvass.  Since my last update to this cemetery,

I was informed of clean up work that was accomplished at the cemetery. (June 2009)

In October 2011, I found this cemetery much cleaner & several tombstones appeared to

 have been replaced.

*Note: FYI......there is a New Hope African-American Cemetery. It is posted on

Find-A-Grave.  There is another posting for New Hope Cemetery showing the front of

a church, also posted on Find-A-Grave.  I have no idea where this one is located.

The one I have posted here is nowhere near a church.  The times I visited it, the only

thing nearby, was a family living across the road in trailers.  I have not visited it

since 2013.

under indictment for the assination of Dallas Hunter on 9/6/1903.  Since the killing

Bishop had been at large & in hiding. Herman Britt & Rufus Eastridge went to

the lumber camp, having heard that Bishop was there. They attempted to serve

a warrant on him. When Bishop was instructed to put his hands up, he began

to draw his pistol, automatic Colts, & as he did so, Rufus Eastridge drew his

32-caliber special Smith-Wesson, & emptied 6 shots into the body of Bishop.

Bisho,p as he fell, managed to get off 1 shot, shooting Eastridge through

the heart.  Both were dead within minutes.  On Christmas Eve, in 1903,

Eastridge shot & killed Lennox Parnell at a church during a

Christmas tree celebration. The trial resulted in a hung jury, & he
