About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Cemetery is on private property owned and maintained by the owners of Smuggler's Den Campground. Stop by the campground office for permission and directions to the cemetery.
The campground and cemetery are well kept and would make a nice base camp for anyone interested in camping and exploring the many area cemeteries and other attractions.

Jacob Lurvey of Newburyport, Mass., bought 100 acres here in 1792. He later built a home not far from this family cemetery.

The Isaac Herrick and family were neighbors of the Lurvey's.
Isaac, his wife Lavina sons Asa and William are buried here.

Evergreen cemetery is nearby with many relatives of those interred here. Enoch Lurvey did not want to expand the family plot and purchased land in 1865 for a cemetery along the road to Somesville for $18. It was first called Lurvey Cemetery but later changed to Evergreen to distinguish it from the old family plot.

Evergreen Cemetery is called Lurvey Cemetery at findagrave.com ID# 2272569
