Hopewell AME Zion Church and Cemetery [1]
This church was first organized as a Presbyterian Church but later changed to a Methodist denomination. It held its first services in a house west of the present church and cemetery. This house, called Whiteacre, has not been associated with the name since 1890. Some family names on tombstones in the cemetery are Pharr, Howard, Powell, Berry, Beattie, Wilson, Moore, and Alexander. The cemetery and church are off Beatties Ford Rd. and cannot be seen from the street. The church and cemetery are next to Beatties Ford Memorial Gardens and should not be confused.
