Evergreen Cemetery
Also known as Lurvey Cemetery
Southwest Harbor, Hancock County, Maine, USA
It is accessible by free public transit bus from downtown Bar Harbor, as well as by auto.
After the death of Jacob Lurvey his home place became the property of his youngest son Enoch and he was not willing that the family burying ground on the place should be enlarged.
So a committee was formed to purchase land for a family cemetery and on April 15, 1865, this committee purchased of Enoch Lurvey and William Lawler the land on the road to Somesville, now the site of Evergreen Cemetery. The sum of $18 was paid for the lot, which was at first called Lurvey cemetery and later changed to Evergreen to distinguish it from the old family lot.
The original Lurvey cemetery is within Smuggler's Den Campgrounds across the street.
