Location. East of Dix Point Road. UTM: 19T 0547943, 4900974; Lat./Long.: N 44°15′37.5″ x W 68°23′57.8
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 5.2 miles (and at the south end of the village of Somesville), turn right onto Pretty Marsh Road (Route 102). Travel on Route 102 about 9.0–9.1 miles and in a sharp curve to the left, turn right onto Dix Point Road. In approximately 0.3–0.4 miles on the left, just over the crest of a hill, is a drive that leads by the entrance (on the left) to the cemetery.
History. This cemetery is on land that was part of lot #20, a 58-acre parcel, on the 1808 Salem Towne Jr. map.
Notes. This cemetery is not enclosed and no boundary markers are evident, although there appears to have been a recent (1999?) survey of an abutting parcel. The grass is mowed and trimmed. Most of the old stones are leaning or laying on the ground.
