athens, MAINE CEMETERIES

MOUNT REST Cemetery
Picture
Back Road, Athens, Maine [GPS: ​44.927181, -69.667611]
On the 1860 Athens, Maine town map, both the Mt Rest Cemetery (middle right) and a now non-existent one (lower right) are highlighted. The "old cemetery" was moved some time in the mid/late 1800's to Mount Rest, some of the stones now found in a plot at the SE corner of the yard, while others were reburied among families already having plots there. ​Two Leavitt names are found in the stones from the "old" cemetery in the village:
