Spring Cemetery

Find-A-Grave Listing

Location: 43.89422 -70.82444

From its intersection with Notch Road, drive southeast on 5/113 (Pequawket Trail) 0.27 miles. The large cemetery is on the left (northeast) side of the road.

Condition (11/29/2020): This large cemetery is mowed and partially fenced (though parts are in poor condition). There are quite a few tablet stones that are leaning dangerously and need to be reset. 

In 2013, Jess Davis led a team of volunteers from the Hiram Historical Society in the restoration of some of the gravestones in this cemetery. She taught them basic resetting techniques in the hope that the work could continue in the future.

Spring Cemetery has many stones that are leaning severely
Slate stones during restoration. Many slate stones from before 1850 are much longer than they seem. At least half of the gravestone was set below ground in tamped dirt and gravel.
