I've been told that graves either faced East or West. If they face East they were there to welcome the Lord when he came back, and if they faced West they were heading home to the Lord.
It's been 15 years since I took any photos in town, I'm sure I'm missing a lot!If you have an Otisfield Cemetery tombstone photo and you would like it included on this site, please attach it to an email and send it to me. See Tombstone photo guidelines for more specific details.

From 1973 to 1994, Jean Hankins laborously sat among the tombstones in Otisfield and transcribed each and every one! Please realize that in a Tombstone Transcription Project, tombstones are TRANSCRIBED EXACTLY AS THEY APPEAR! (This includes mistakes and all).
Shirley Bean advised that the Shed Family Burial Ground was moved from Shed Hill on the Bean Road, to the East Otisfield Cemetery, by William Spurr, sometime during the 1950s. A lot of SHED's are also buried in Wight Cemetery.
