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:
