THE SMITH CEMETERY*
T HIS cemetery received its name by reason of its first tomb having been built by the family of Rev. Peter Thatcher Smith, another of Windham's early settlers. The notable tomb, however, is that of the Hon. John Ander- son, erected by his family in 1854. The face, which is granite, is said to be a facsimile of the Washington tomb at Mount Vernon.
On each side of the door are fine inscription tablets, on one of which is the following inscription :
JOHN ANDERSON
Second son of Abraham and Lucy Anderson of Windham.
Born on Home Farm, July 29, 1792.
Died at his residence in Portland,
Aug. 21, 1853.
ANN WILLIAMS JAMESON
Wife of John Anderson.
Born Oct. 14, 1804. Died May 13, 1879.
One of the unique features of the tomb is the door, which is designed somewhat after the door of a bank vault, being fastened by a combination lock. Very few now living know the combination.
The chief attraction in this cemetery is the Hunnewell lot. The lot is enclosed by a granite curbing. About midway across, near one end, and reached by a brick wall, surrounded by a curbstone of granite, is the lot, on which is firmly set an old-fashioned cast-iron fireframe, 43 by 58 inches in size, and
* From the Lewiston Journal, by permission.
144
16 inches deep; with its iron crane, 41 inches long, extend- ing across the front near the top.
On the hearth are a pair of andirons probably 150 or 200 years old, on which rests the lower part of a large wooden frame made to cover the surface at the back completely on the inside. In this is a glass enclosing a printed genealogy of the Hunnewell family, covering a period of 249 years from 1694 to March 19, 1903; beginning with Roger Hunnewell, who died in Saco in 1654, and ending with Charles H. Hunnewell, still (in 1903) residing on the family homestead.
The record is in good type, printed on white paper. On each side of its four edges are pictures of pastoral and agricultural life.
At the right to the entrance to this fireplace in a deep wooden frame, set in granite and covered with glass, are the photographs of Mr. Hunnewell's father and mother. In a space between the pictures is the following printed in excellent type :
ZERUBBABEL HUNNEWELL
Born Nov. 6, 1786. Married June 20, 1815. Died July 4, 1863, aged 78 years.
ANN MITCHELL HUNNEWELL
First wife. Born Sept. 4, 1790.
Died Sept. 6, 1835, aged 45 years.
ANNA SMALL HUNNEWELL
Second wife. Born Mar. 10, 1792.
Married Sept., 1840.
Died Mar. 24, 1883, aged 93 years.
(Charles H. Hunnewell was the son of the first wife.)
On the left of the entrance are twin frames, correspond- ing in pattern to that on the right hand in which are inclosed companion photographs of himself and wife, one being a memorial to her with the following inscription :
145
JERUSHA W. HUNNEWELL
Born in Westbrook, Oct. 9, 1829.
Married Charles H. Hunnewell of Windham, June 15, 1852.
Died Mar. 19, 1903, at 3:15 P. M., aged 73 years, 5 months, 10 days.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth in me tho he were dead yet shall he live. John 11-15.
The other is evidently designed as his own headstone and contains beside his and his wife's pictures these words :
CHARLES H. HUNNEWELL
Born in Windham, Mar. 5, 1827.
Married Jerusha W. Small of Westbrook June 16, 1852.
Born in spirit Feb. 14, 1868 *.
Death at the end of eternity that never ends.
Jesus says (John 11-26) And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believeth thou this ?
For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
The graves for which these frames stand as headstones are each covered with an inverted metal cover some nine or ten inches deep, and, like the monumental fireplace picture frames and granite curbing, are painted pure white.
* When he became converted to his religious faith.
