Notes:
There has never been a church associated with the Stickney Cemetery. The first burial was Laura V. Chase in 1921. Laura, who died in childbirth, was the daughter of Harry and Rhoda Hunter who owned the property. Access used to be through the Hunter family driveway but that has now been changed. The cemetery sits on land well below the level of Rte. 105, between it and the St. John River. There is no sign indicating the entrance to the cemetery nor is the cemetery visible at that point. (My daughter actually gasped because she thought I was going over the hillside when I turned into it. She couldn't see the next turn beyond the bushes.) It is a well-maintained cemetery. The Hunter families still take an active interest along with other volunteers in seeing that stones are raised or straightened as needed.
