FROM A FRIENDLY VILLAGER
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and the date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who cares
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

Ralph.)

east of Barker Road and south of North Dixmont Road. Very difficult to locate.
- Fairview Cemetery
- Hathaway Cemetery - Established in the 1840s. On Ward
Hill Road about 1-1/4 miles north of Roger's Corner and the North Dixmont Road. Cemetery
on the east side of the road. Generally well kept.
- Jewell Cemetery - Actually located in Dixmont
about on
the Troy/Dixmont line. Many Troy families buried here. About 0.9 miles south from US202/St
Rte 9 on Jewell Road. Jewell Road leaves US202 just over the Troy Town Line into Dixmont.
- Mt. Holly Cemetery - Established in 1836. Many of the
earliest settlers are buried here. Many stones damaged or missing. On the north side of
US202/St Rte 9 just east of Troy Corner and across from Troy Union Church.
- Rogers Cemetery - (formerly "Fairview")
established in 1837. The largest cemetery in Troy. North from Hales Corner on Rogers Road
about 1/2 mile from US202/St Rte 9. On the east side of the road. Well kept.
- Webb Cemetery - Established in the 1840s. From US202/St
Rte 9 at Green's Corner where St Rte 220 goes north, go south on Myrick Road about 1.7
miles to Gerrish Corner. Turn east on Whitaker Road (the old Penobscot Road) about 0.9
miles. This is a small cemetery away from the north side of the road and on the north side
of a small stream.
- Webster Cemetery - Established in the 1840s. South from
Troy Corner on Bagley Hill Road about 1-1/4 miles. Turn east on the Webster Cemetery Road
(continuation of Whitaker Road and the old original Penobscot Road) for about 1.4 miles on
the dirt road. Cemetery on the south side of the road.
- Whitten Cemetery - A small family cemetery about 0.4
miles north of the North Dixmont Road on a dirt track. The dirt track is about 0.3 miles
west of the Dixmont Town Line.
Ralph Hillman's Note: There are quite likely one or two
other small family cemeteries that have been lost from memory. If anyone finds these
locations I would like to know. A Barker Cemetery is quite likely east of Barker Road in
the woods about at the junction of Bishop Road. A Bennett Cemetery was somewhere along the
east shore of Unity Pond west of Smart's Corner. [Check] DeLorme's The Maine Atlas and
Gazetteer for names of roads and locations. I have data from most of these cemeteries
if people wish to contact me.
