Location. Bulger Hill, Great Cranberry.

Directions. From the town dock, walk straight ahead on the paved road. Soon the road curves to the left and then generally runs straight. Beyond the Bunker Cemetery is a long stretch of relatively straight, flat road with fields and/or lawns on one or both sides. After this open, flat area, the road rises and curves to the left. In a short distance on the right is a dirt drive whose entrance is flanked by stone monuments. Turn right onto this drive and follow it until a less-traveled grassy road on the right leads to the cemetery.

History. This cemetery is found in the 1881 Colby Atlas.

Notes. This cemetery has undergone some restoration, the details of which can be seen at http://www.stanleycemetery.com.
