Maine, Faylene Hutton Cemetery Collection, ca. 1780-1991

What is in This Collection?

These records include transcripts of tombstones from various Maine cemeteries for the years 1780 to 1990. There are some additional family members listed on some cards whose names are not indexed.

Cemeteries begin keeping records as soon as they are opened. The purchase of a burial plot is a land transaction and is recorded with a deed. Cemetery records are kept as a permanent record of who was buried and usually who purchased the burial plot. The information in these records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
