The Hill Cemetery is an enchanted little spot located on Upper West Side
Road. It is approximately 2 miles from the Bartlett end of West Side
Road. Many of the headstones appear to be exceptionally well cared
for, or more likely, they have recently been replaced.
Click on any picture for a larger size in a new window. Many older
stones are difficult to read or completely moss covered. Those with a
need to know can probably carefully scrape away the vegetation covering the
name and date.
Samuel Drown was a prominent citizen of Bartlett. The location
overlooks the West Side Road and I can imagine 80 years ago, with fewer
trees, it probably enjoyed a fine view down the valley and Saco River.
The site is accessible by a small driveway however, be advised that exiting
back onto West Side Road, the visibility is very poor. It might be
wise to seek nearby parking and hike back to the driveway, or hike up the
little hill pictured above.
Sarah Seavey is buried here. Many interesting first names that one
doesn't hear anymore..Dorindia and Octavia to name two.
