 | Hill Cemetery is a very small cemetery in Grey, Maine just outside of Portland.
Approximately 100 grave stones from the past until the present enable a travel through history. The deaths dates range from 1832 to 2006. It is quite a novelty to see the old stones interspersed with newer more modern gravestones.
It appears there are old family plots still in use today.

The building on the picture was the original small church.
It puts up a daycare center today. The church is now located across the street. | |

| The stones display a large variance in stone cutter skills. |
