Location. East of north-south road and west of Great Cove, Bartlett Island.

Directions. From the boat landing on the east side of the island, follow the road approximately 0.6 miles to a T-intersection. Turn right, and the cemetery is set back from the right side of the road in about 0.3 miles. Follow an old road for approximately 100 feet to a trail on the right that leads to the cemetery.

History.

Notes. The cemetery is enclosed by a gated wood post and rail fence. The posts have decorative tops, and there are four courses of boards for rails. The ground vegetation, mostly moss with some ferns and spruce seedlings, is cut and trimmed.
