I grew up in a small house on High Street in Kennebunk just a few hundred yards from the Hatch cemetery. A grass covered tote road ran from the back of our garden out to the small cemetery, and I remember well having people park in our drive to walk out and pay their respects and tend the stones. I think some of the Hatches were still in town in the sixties. We drove past on the turnpike this afternoon. It is very sad to see the cemetery in the middle of so much construction -- the new road will be just inches away. They've taken down the old trees, and the cemetery's iron fence is surrounded by plastic orange fencing, a small island in a sea of mud. A very sad sight. If anyone would like a photo of the cemetery taken from the new Maguire Road bridge let me know, and I'll take one next weekend.

Hi John; I would like a picture, if you will let me put it on my web site. I have a "Save Hatch Cemetery" website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~edgecomb/index3.html Thanks, Dana Edgecomb At 08:42 PM 4/13/03 -0400, GordonsOfMaine@aol.com wrote: > If anyone would like a photo of the cemetery taken from the new Maguire > Road >bridge let me know, and I'll take one next weekend. >John Wesley Gordon
