Ult. stands for "Ultimo" -- of the previous month. Inst. stands for "Instant" -- of the current month. Both terms are relative to the publication date. For example, if a newspaper publishes a death notice in September, and says the death occurred "on 10th ult" then the death was on August 10. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Meeks" <lmmeeks1@earthlink.net> To: <MEWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2000 4:46 PM Subject: [MEWASHIN-L] Definitions needed - Ult. / Inst. > Hi Listers, > > Can anyone tell me what the abbreviations Ult. and Inst. stand for?

Does anyone know if the Martha A. CARD who married Peter GARDNER of Dennysville, Maine about 1868 is the same Martha A.

I will appreciate any help - any clue saying they are the same woman or that will prove they are different women. Alta

Hi Again Everyone, Sorry to write one more time, but I should have included this in the last post. The surnames in this cemetery are as follows: BLACK CASE COGGINS CLARK CLEAVES COLLIOUTT (not Collicut) DAVIS DINSMORE DOYLE FICKETT GERRISH GOVE GREEN HALLETT HILTON HILYARD JOY KILLEY KENT LAKE LEIGHTON LURCHIN MAHLMAN O'NEILL PENDLETON PHELPS REYNOLDS ROBINSON ROYAL RUMERY RUMNEY SEARS SMALL WILCOX WILSON Misc.: "My Mother" near PHELPS and PENDLETON lots. Hope this helps you narrow down your search. If you are interested in a surname on this list, and think there is a chance that some people you are searching for may be buried in this cemetery, send your requests my way. Celia

Hello, Everyone, There seems to be some confusion as to the origin of the cemetery inscriptions I have been doing lookups on. I did not go to the cemetery and come up with this list of inscriptions (I live in Texas and have never been to Lubec, though I would like to go there some day). I obtained the list of inscriptions from the Hampden Historical Society, who does lookups from the Maine Old Cemetery Association's (MOCA's) inscription project for a fee. The inscriptions were copied in 1971 by one Rebecca Hobart, who deserves all the accolades, not me! I assume she was a volunteer for MOCA. The address for the Hampden Historical Society is: Hampden Historical Society, Katherine Trickey Archives, P.O. Box 456, Hampden, ME 04444. Tel. No. (207) 862-2027. They are open Tuesdays from 10 to 4, April through October. The name of the Archivist is Nadine Hoyt. It is $5.00 per lookup. I asked her to send me the entire listing of the cemetery for an additional fee. I don't know if this is a common practice or if an exception was made. Thank you very much to the people who have offered to go to the cemetery for me and to take pictures of my ancestors' graves! I have two acquaintances on the MAINE-L who have indicated at one time or another that they might be able to do this for me. If they are unable to come through, I will get in contact with some of the other people who have offered. Thanks again very much for your kindness. There are such helpful on these lists! The cemetery in question is known as the Upper North Lubec Cemetery, or "Neck" cemetery in North Lubec, Maine. To get to the cemetery, take Route 189 into Lubec. At the corner of Route 189 and North Lubec Road, turn left (there is a Mobil gas station and a McFadden's variety store on the corner there, and the library is either on or near the corner as well). From the intersection of 189 and the North Lubec Road, on the North Lubec Road it is 2.9 miles to Mill Creek and the cemetery is just on the hill above it. Continue on 1.7 miles for a total of 4.6, and the Upper cemetery is in the field on the left. I am enjoying doing the lookups. There have been a lot of requests, so it may take me a while to get back to you, but I will. I am glad to be of help. It certainly seems that Lubec is a popular area for genealogical research. Maybe we should schedule a get-together for list members there sometime in the summer! I am sorry for the long (and repetitive) post, but I wanted to answer everyone's questions. Genealogically yours, Celia
