CEMETERIES/BURIAL GROUNDS Nobleboro has at least 84 burial grounds, most of them family plots set aside for this purpose by the early settlers. The Vital Records for Old Bristol and Nobleboro, compiled by Christine Houston Dodge and published in 1951, identified 65 burial grounds in Nobleboro, but since then 19 others have been discovered and noted by Nobleboro Historian Dr. George F. Dow. On behalf of the Nobleboro Historical Society, Dr. Dow prepared a binder documenting the cemeteries. Each cemetery has a page on which there is a photograph of the burial ground along with notes about who is buried there. The Historical Society has indexed the cemeteries with their locations and date of establishment (if known). Dr. Dow has also prepared a map that shows the burial sites. This map includes the 4 one-quarter acre plots accepted by the town fathers at their 1790 town meeting for use by those who did not have family burial grounds. These maps are available at the Historical Society.
