COWAN EXTENSION OF SEBEC VILLAGE CEMETERY Located directly across the street Just beyond the church Prepared for Sebec Historical Society and Harriman School Museum Compiled by Robert M. Bunker Last Update: 25 January 1998 Preface Various sources of data have been used in compiling this information: Vital Statistics, Family Bibles, Grave Stones, Scrapbooks, Obituary Notices, Family Histories, Bangor Public Library (Aquila Chase and his Descendants), Fogier Library at the University of Maine, State Archives in Augusta and, perhaps the most important, from individuals who had documented knowledge of family lore. An effort has been made to include entries for spouses, and crossed-indexed to the husband or wife. Where available, the maiden name of the wife was included as an individual record. Children have also been cross-indexed to their respective parents. Each individual has been assigned a "Record Number". Families may not be in numerical sequence, depending upon when the information was obtained. Thus, a parent may have a Record Number of '125" and the children may conceivably be "1257" In some cases there may be an entry by name only with not further information available. The reader is encouraged to bring to the attention of the Society any documented information or corrections. Such information will be gratefully received and entered to the record.
