HILLSIDE CEMETERY
Seldovia, Alaska

The Hillside Cemetery in Seldovia, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska is located on the hill above
Main Street just past the fuel depot. It is accessed by walking up the driveway of the house next
to it. Look for the white picket fence which surrounds the cemetery. The cemetery is not
maintained and is very overgrown. On August 16, 1979, Susan B. English, a long time resident,
provided information on those she knew to be buried there. Her information is noted by SBE info.
For cemetery location map see page 374. The cemetery was read on June 20, 2003.
