It was mostly in old, family cemeteries that we found graves of Revolutionary War soldiers. Last week, my wife accompanied me on an exploration of rural Maine, one of my favorite activities. Since I’ve been up every road within a 25-mile radius of my hometown of Lovell, Maine, it’s become necessary to range farther afield if I’m to survey new territory.
Heading east, we found ourselves in the Hebron/Buckfield area with my dog-eared Maine Gazetteer. As a retired history teacher, I felt compelled to stop at every cemetery along the way because they provide a quick, thumbnail sketch of local history.
