NEW HOPE CEMETERY

New Hope Church and Cemetery. The cemetery was started in the Caffey community before the church was organized, which happened many times. It was probably called Caffey because it was referred to Caffey cemetery for many years. R W Caffey gave the land for the Church in 1901. Directions: From Selmer - take Hwy 45 S to Hwy 57. Turn left on Hwy 57 and go 1-2 miles and turn right on Hack Bridge Rd. About ½ mile the road will fork, keep to the left. This is called the New Hope Road. Go several miles to where the road intersects with Sticine Road and you will see New Hope Church. Cemetery is behind. You can also go from the south part of the county, at the Mississippi State line, on Hwy 45 N, take Sticine Road to the right. Go about seven miles and cemetery will be on the right. This is one of those cemeteries that has a half dozen ways to get there. From Cemeteries of McNairy County, compiled by Nancy Wardlow Kennedy.

Please allow for errors. Old tombstones are hard to read and typo’s are sometimes made.

Thanks to Helah Wilson & Janice Switcher for contributing this cemetery
