Mount Pleasant Cemetery |
Description |
Located at 258 Cottage Road, South Portland, Maine. In 1734, the original meeting house was constructed in the southwestern corner of what is now Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. The burial grounds were laid out around the church and the first recorded burial was in 1742 (Hannah Doane Cushing, wife of Ezekiel Cushing). There are unmarked field stones, however, and at least one report of a family that suspects an ancestor buried there prior to 1734. |
