When Bill and Jane Macomber gave a talk on cemetery preservation last fall for Penobscot County
Genealogical Society in Bangor, they spoke about the good work of Hope Historical Society in putting
Hope cemeteries on the Web.I took the time to check out the society's website at hopehist.com and
was impressed with the variety of resources members have put online.One topic is Families, which
ranges in offerings from a bit of genealogy to family history to photos, depending on the family.
These are the families you will find:

Barrett
Bartlett
Bills
Bowlet
Coose
Crabtree
Dennison
Dunton
Ettlinger
Fish
Gould
Grassow
Harris
Hastings
Hewitt
Hobbs
Jacobs
Keene
Layr
Merrifield
Norwood-Brodis
Payson
Pearse, John
Pearse, William
Philbrick
Pushaw
Quinn
True
Wentworth

Under Cemeteries, you will find photos for gravestones in:

Hope Grove Cemetery
Morey Hill Civil War Cemetery

In Hope Grove, I found pictured a stone for Sarah Parkman, wife of Thomas Bartlett, died Sept. 2, 1888, AE 89 ys 11 ms.Other topics well worth a look include History and Homes.
The site also has a copy of the column I wrote about Hope Historical Society in 2009.
