Wing Cemetery

Wing Cemetery is a private family cemetery located on Pond Road in Wayne, Maine. The cemetery is located on the "National Register of Historic Places" because many of the earliest town founders were buried in the cemetery in the late 18th century.

"This treasured burial ground was laid out in 1867, to be constructed in circular configurations. At the precise center of the grounds stands a 12-foot high granite obelisk, which is the focal point of an elevated circular mound of earth 14 feet in diameter, which in turn is surrounded by a three-foot-deep dry moat. On the monument's octagonal base, facing the gate and entrance walk is inscribed the "Wing" and the date 1871. On each of the other seven sides, facing the lots is inscribed the name of one of the original seven brothers, all of whom came to Wayne in the 1780s. Proceeding in the circle, to the right, going counterclockwise around the monument they are: Simeon Jr., Allen, Ebenezer, Aaron, Moses, Thomas, and William. Circling this impressive center are concentric rings, each ring includes graves of members of succeeding generations descended from whichever of the seven brothers the headstone face."
