Grandma found Elisha and Catherines graves at an old Baptist Cemetery,
knowing that their granddaughter was a Baptist just outside of
Edgecomb on the way to Boothbay.

125. Catherine TARBELL was buried in May 1854 in Edgecomb Baptist Cemetary, Edgecomb, Lincoln, Maine. Catherine's stone is leaning against Elisha's stone in the Baptist cemetary. Broken, the stone is now dark, discolored, and difficult to read. It has been broken at the age engraving. The year of death looks like 1854. This would be confirmed by other sources.
