HOPEWELL CEMETERY
Sommervell County, Texas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To travel to this little cemetery from Granbury, start counting mileage at the intersection of W. Pearl Street and Morgan Street. After 10.6 miles south on Highway #144, Sommervell County Road #502 will be on the west (right) side of the road. Turn right and proceed for 1.1 miles to a gravel road on the right. Follow this road to the north for .5 mile to the cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vircy Macatee, Merle McNeese, and I visited here in April, 1989. We found the cemetery to be near Squaw Creek Reservoir for the Comanche Peak Steam Generating Plant. When the surrounding property was fenced, the little cemetery was left an the outside, so there is no problem driving to it. It is enclosed by its own fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the 55 tombstones we were able to read, there are at least 15 or more graves marked only with field stones. There is no way to identify these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
