CEMETERY. - The
present fine cemetery in Hallowell,
situated on the Augusta road, and which
does great credit to the people of the
town, is but an extension of the old
one. The southeastern portion is
what constituted the old burying ground.
The first interment here, as shown by
the inscription on the headstone, was in
1800. This stone was erected in
memory of Obadiah Harris, the
first deacon of the First church in
Hallowell. Deacon Harris
lived on a farm beyond the quarry.
The first hearse was built in 1816, by
Mr. Partridge. Moses
Palmer built a tomb here in 1815;
Major Page built one in 1826, and
others have since been built by
Joseph Wingate, Thomas Metcalf, Isaac
Pillsbury and John Dorr.
The cemetery now contains many fine
specimens of monumental work, including
the shaft erected in memory of
Hallowell's soldiers who fell in the war
of the rebellion.
