The need for a new cemetery was reported in the Bar Harbor Record on February 24, 1887:[1]

Twenty years ago, the present place of burial answered every purpose, but now it is quite inadequate. Besides being too small, it is not located in the proper place and its unsightliness is a constant source of dread to the superstitious and an unpleasant reminder to those whose friends have here found their final resting place.
