The oldest birth date on a stone, was in Plot 68, Bathsheba Bolster, born March 1779, she died Jan 1853, but I was not able to see what was listed on the backside of this 4-sided stone as it was located in the middle of a vary large wild Rose Bush.

Marshall Cemetery, Westfield, ME
Marshall Cemetery is located between Mars Hill and Presque Isle, Me. on Rte 1. I completed this cemetery after a request by one of the ACGS members looking for a relative he couldn't locate. I started by calling the town hall for any information they had, they replied that it was a private cemetery and they had all the information they needed on the cemetery. To my knowledge every cemetery unless on private unreachable land is open to the public so I proceeded to do my work.
The cemetery is divided into 7 sections divided by roadways into and out of the cemetery. The book includes pictures of the stones and history for each occupant, with 31 pages of obituaries and 8 pages of index. The book is 238 pages and the price is $60. plus S/H, to purchase contact: lindazap9@hotmail.com

Births, Marriages, Death, 1900-1945, Blaine ME
I was so impressed with Blaine's Town Manager, Chappy Clark, he was helpful with all three cemeteries beside being a really nice guy. I learned he didn't have any early vital records for Blaine going back to 1900's.
Some towns had published what they called Town Reports including yearly town information on everything that occurred, they also had all vital records for the year. Usually they were saved in the town library or town office but Blaine didn't have any of the early books. After some research, I located a copy in Augusta, at the State Library. I went downstate and was able to scan all the births, deaths and marriages that Chappy was missing. I typed them from 1900 to 1945 using my book format and Chappy now has a copy in the town office.
