    1. [MEYORK] Mitchell-Hatch Cemetery/Maine Turnpike
    2. Linda Darling
    3. Last year or so there was some discussion on the List about a cemetery to the side of the Maine Turnpike. I'm not sure if this is the cemetery that was discussed at the time, but the story will still be of interest! This article appeared in today's Boston Globe in the City/Region section. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/097/metro/Maine_Turnpike_project_spares_cemetery+.shtml The 184 year old Mitchell-hatch Cemetery is located in Kennebunk, Exit 3. The Cemetery has been spared and will not be moved. They are going to replace the railings and repair the granite posts bordering the cemetery. The headstones will be "sealed" to protect them from pollution and road salt. If the above link doesn't work, here is the link for the main page http://www.boston.com/globe/ click on City/Region on your left; then on that page, scroll down to "Maine Turnpike project spares Cemetery". (I'm not sure how long the links will work!) Linda
