Old Small Cemetery, Cherryfield Maine
Compiled by the Genealogical Records Committee
Hannah Weston Chapter, D.A.R. 1974-1975.

Submitted by Bob Small
Located off Willey District Rd., which intersects Rte 193 in Cherryfield. The way I found it was to go to the General Store, C.H. Mathews & Sons and it is about a 1/2 mile down the road from there. Cherryfield, Me is about 30 miles east of Machias & 35 miles west of Ellsworth, Me along Rte 1.

The earliest burial in this cemetery was of a child, William A. J. Small, son of Alfred and Hannah J. Small who died in 1843. It can therefore be assumed that this land was donated by Alfred and his wife, or possibly by the oldest known individual of this surname, Deacon Elisha Small and his wife Priscilla (Strout) Small. Elisha died one year after this first burial.
