PINE GROVE CEMETERY

There are a number of resources that contain information about the Pine Grove Cemetery. Below are a number which we have found particularly useful.

​

Page 341 through 346 of George Augustus Wheeler's 1878 History of Brunswick,Topsham and Harpswell, Maine references the cemetery. Twice-Told Tales, 200 Maine Street, Brunswick, often has copies for sale online - ask at the store if you are interested. The book is also online at HathiTrust and Google Books.

​

In 2005 father and son Donald and Mark Cheetham published a survey of all of the stoneware found in the cemetery at that time. This amazing document divided the ranges into smaller maps and then numbered and detailed each monument and gravestone in each map. And online version of this document is available curtesy of the Curtis Memorial Library.

​​

The Snow Index to Brunswick Newspapers is a search tool for articles published  by the Brunswick Telegraph and the Brunswick Record from 1863 to 1960. Created by Richard Snow, the obituaries and articles are searchable by a person's name, keyword or date.Transcriptions of some of the articles are available in PDF format. Additional indexing contributions were made by John Goff.

 

Curtis Memorial Library -- Brunswick History is a great source of local Brunswick history, including the Cheetham and Cheetham document referenced above as well as the Snow Index.

​

Another excellent source of local history is the Pejepscot Historical Society. They published a Pine Grove Walking Tour pamphlet and also have a local history blog

In 2021, The Times Record published David Treadwell's celebration of Pine Grove Cemetery's 200 anniversary.
