(11 November 2005)



Location: At edge of field northeast of Route 102A. UTM: 19T 0556253, 4899923; Lat./Long.: N 44°15′1.3″ x W 68°17′43.4″

Directions: From the intersection of Routes 3 and 102/198 at the north end of Mount Desert Island, go straight ahead (south) onto Routes 102/198. In approximately 11.3–11.4 miles (about 0.8 miles of which are south of the blinking light in the village of Southwest Harbor), turn left onto Route 102A. In approximately 2.2–2.3 miles on the left (and immediately after a small trailer park) is a building from which take-out food is sometimes served. The cemetery is behind this building, but visible from Route 102A only when approaching from the south.

History:

Notes: Presence of wood posts with holes to hold rails is evidence of a former fence along at least three sides of this cemetery. Four of the eight stones are laying on the ground. All woody vegetation has been cut to the ground in two strips approximately three feet wide that border opposite ends of the cemetery. Grass is mowed.
