    1. [HART-L] HART cemetery in Maine, USA
    2. Cush and Karen Anthony
    3. While driving through Maine, I found a "Hart's Corner Cemetery" at "Hart's Corner." If you wish to locate it on a map, it is between Bangor and Ellsworth on Route 1A. To be more precise, it is just west of East Holden, which is east of Bangor and Brewer, Maine. It's a small old cemetery with no indication of any church nearby. (Perhaps there had been a church, of course, but it's not there now.) There is a large monument with Hart on the front, near the road, facing the road. On that front side, it says "Capt. Russell Hart, born Nov. 4, 1794, Died Sept. 26, 1877." Also on that side is "Wealthy Brettun, his wife. Born October 12, 1797, died April 6, 1881." On the left side is "Emeline L. Hart, wife of John E. Green, Born November 18, 1827, Died March 10, 1891" and "Russell N. B. Hart, born October 27, 1823, died October 19, 1901." on the right side is "Rev. Edwin J. Hart, born September 16, 1825, Died in Cottage Grove, Minnesota April 16, 1893." It was great fun to discover it. A few yards behind the other is a relatively new stone (not new - just looking newer than the one I mentioned in the first paragraph. My guess is it's a replacement. That makes me want to find the person who might have replaced it.) On it is "Albert C. Hart, January 5, 1840 - April 18, 1917" and " Almeda H. Phillips, wife of Albert C. Hart, August 23, 1848 - October 13, 1909" with some small stones nearby engraved "A. Hart" and "C. Hart." The small C. Hart stone had a GAR flag -- that is "Grand Army of the Republic."
