| Additional Information: | This smaller cemetery on the property was established in 1858, predating the construction of the adjacent church by more than 30 years. The cemetery was created shortly after the founding of the New Hope Norwegian Lutheran congregation in the fall of 1857 (prior to the split between North New Hope and South New Hope) and before the congregation had built its first church. This cemetery currently contains seven remaining grave markers dating between 1858 and 1912; however, due to the loss of a number of original grave markers, the true number of burials at this site is unknown. The burials in this small cemetery are representative of some of the earliest Norwegian settlement in the New Hope area. |
