Directions. From the intersection of Routes 3 and 102/198 at the north end of Mount Desert Island, go straight ahead (south) onto Routes 102/198. In approximately 5.2 miles (and at the south end of the village of Somesville), turn right onto Pretty Marsh Road. Travel 3.5 miles to the intersection with Indian Point Road on the right. Take Indian Point Road 0.2–0.3 miles to a three-way stop. Bear left onto Bartlett Landing Road, and the cemetery is on the left in a field in less than 0.1 miles.

History. The cemetery is on land that was part of a 102 acre parcel owned by an E. Pray in 1808 according to the Salem Towne Jr. map.

Notes. This cemetery consists of three stones—a tall monument and two smaller stones. One of the two smaller stones is laying on the ground, worn, and beginning to be obscured by grass growing over it. Several pieces of unengraved stone are laying at the base of the monument. The cemetery is not enclosed.
