for this cemetery
Hopewell Cemetery is between Decatur and Alvord. About half way between Alvord and Decatur on Hwy 287 turn on CR 2395 to the east. Go about two miles and turn left (north) on CR 2391. The cemetery is about two miles on the right.
At the bottom of this page is a 2021 letter from Kerry Clower about some unmarked Johnson graves and about some markers placed at previously unmarked Claborn graves.
Margie Peyton mnpeyton@att.net took some nice pictures of the cemetery in 2014. She is the president of the Hopewell Cemetery Association. She writes that "The marker states that the land was given by George Buchanan in 1872 for the organization of the church. The original church was located 50 yards East (behind) cemetery and was moved to the present location in 1887." Margie's picture are below. These would be of the cemetery as seen from the road, going from north to south.
Her 2014 picture below shows the marker that is just inside the gate.
Below are some of my old pictures that were taken in 2000.
There is a granite marker at the gate that reads as follows:
History of Hopewell
Cemetery Organized 1872
(on granite marker with picture of Elmer Hodges)
Land given by Geo Buchanan
Hopewell Church was located 50 yds east of cemetery.
First pastor at that location was W.M. Thompson in 1872.
Church later moved to present location in 1887.

UNKNOWN
BURIALS IN HOPEWELL CEMETERY
We received
a call on June 9, 2021, from a man named Rod Johnson (940-999-8006) concerning
some of our unknown graves at Hopewell Cemetery that we recently marked with
engraved “Unknown” granite stones. There
is a section to the left of the entry gate in the first and second rows that he
feels are his relatives. Some have legible headstones: (1st
row) Frank Johnson, son of M. J. and M. 1887-1890; (2nd row) Samuel
Johnson 1855-1908, H. S. (Henry Samuel) Johnson 1830-1908, and Winney Johnson
1827-1903. There are 5 or
6 other graves in that plot area that are marked with field stones, but we do
not know for sure who they are. Mr.
Johnson told me that his grandfather had taken him to the cemetery years ago and
he remembers him telling who some of the graves were.
One he thinks is Artemesia Stratton Johnson
(died about 1899) and her infant son Willoughby
Johnson. He remembers his
grandfather telling him that Artemesia was bitten by a spider and she and her
6-month-old nursing infant son died from the infection.
There were several children in the Johnson Family as the GG Grandmother
died and GG Grandfather remarried to a lady named McDaniel from Sunset and
eventually moved to Indian Territory (Oklahoma).
Between the two wives, there were fourteen or more children.
Rod believes that the unknown graves near his know relatives may be some
of the other family members but he cannot prove who or where.
He has his memory of stories his grandfather told him to rely on.
The family lived at one time near the intersection of Hwy 81/287 where
the New Vision Church now stands and also lived in a home at the edge of Alvord
later on.
When we
recently placed the 104 “Unknown” grave markers in the cemetery, we also
placed three markers on known but previously unmarked graves in what would be
the third row (listed in cemetery survey as 2nd row) in that same
area as the Johnson plot. Below are these new markers (*) starting from the
north in that row going south with existing and the new headstones:
