James Davis Cemetery

Parsonsfield, ME

In 2014, Jess Davis was hired by a descendent to restore this small family cemetery. The four marked graves are for James Davis, his first wife Mehitable (Foster) and his grandchildren Stephen and Elizabeth. There is also a rough fieldstone head and footstone marker for a small child.
