NEW HOPE COMMUNITY CEMETERY, Cherokee County, Texas was photographed December 19, 2013. Each headstone was photographed; individual digital or print pictures are available, free of any charge, to anyone who asks. This is an African-American cemetery, still actively used by the community for burials. A number of headstones had sunk into the ground and had to be excavated to read the inscriptions, and a number of unmarked graves were observed. Also, several headstones had deteriorated to the point of being completely unreadable.
This is our first cemetery visit and recording in Cherokee County.
DIRECTIONS:  From the caution light 4-way stop in Alto, go north on US69 about a mile and turn left at the sign for the cemetery onto CR2422. The cemetery is on the right, visible from the highway.

NOTE 1:  Frazier Matthews died in Jefferson Davis Hospital in Houston, TX of "Gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to prolonged shock due to a shotgun blast of right thigh" caused when he grabbed the barrel of the weapon and it discharged. The injury occurred near his home in Alto, Texas;  his death in the hospital the next day was ruled a homicide. (Source: Death Certificate)
NOTE 2:  S1, USNR - Seaman First Class, now called "Seaman" (SN) is Navy paygrade E-3. US Naval Reserve.
NOTE 3:  The "K.S.H.T.W.S.S.T." symbol on a headstone indicates that the person had completed the crytic degrees of the York Rite and was a "Royal Arch Mason" in the York Rite Degrees of Freemasonry. A Mason must first complete the necessary steps to become a "Master Mason" before rising to this level.
NOTE 4:  STM1- Steward's Mate, Petty Officer First Class. Attendant in Officer's Wardroom; Paygrade E-6.
NOTE 5:  Unable to establish date of death. Different sources list birthdate as 1881, 1885, 1886, and 1889.
NOTE 6:  CWS - Chemical Warfare Service. Founded during WWI, the primary function was to support and assist Army gas operations, both offensive and defensive. In WWII, the CWS deployed and prepared gas weapons for use throughout the world, but they were never used in combat. CWS soldiers produced incendiaries for flame throwers, flame tanks and other weapons, and were involved in smoke generation. In 1946 the name was changed to the US Army Chemical Corps. (Source: Wikipedia)
NOTE 7:  Emma Gordon, an American citizen, was born in Bombay, India in June of 1883. She died July 13, 1963 in Alto, Cherokee County, Texas.
NOTE 8:  Broken headstone. Wife's initials could be R.E. or R.F. Date of birth is unreadable but appears to be "1870" or "1879". Date of death is Sep 12, 19??; could be 1910, 1916, 1908, or 1906. Research is ongoing to fill in the missing information.
