Greenwood Cemetery Beddiford Maine
I am trying to locate and photograph the grave of Joseph B Richards, died 11 Jan 1911, in the Greenwood Cemetery in Beddiford. I have been unable to talk with anyone at the number on the website. Does anyone have access to burials in Greenwood? Appreciate any assistance or direction.

MOCA (Maine Old Cemetery Association) has cemetery transcriptions for Greenwood, but I do not see any listing for your Joseph B Richards in it. He may still be buried there, as his death record states, but either was missed by the transcriber, or doesn't have a stone.

Hi Steve: This has been an intersesting search. Town Clerk had St Joseph (not recorded at cemetery) on her copy of death record, one on line site has Linwood, and another Greenwood. Based on a full column obit I had assumed this was an easy search. A woman I meet at the historical society said she had a more up to date list but disappered before I had a chance to talk with her. Finding someone associated with either cemetery has been a challenge. Thank you for your responce. I appreciate your help.

Steve: Found Joseph B Richards in the Greenwood Cemetery, Biddeford. He and his wife are in Lot 59. Many thanks to Erica at the library. I found a reference to him from the State veterans burial files.

You might try posting to the Find A Grave site - it www.findagrave.com. It is a site where some very nice people will go to a cemetery to find the stone of a person someone has requested be found. They will take a picture of the stone and post it to the appropriate place on the Find A Grave website. I myself have done a few of these and know of people who have done several. It may not happen now with the snow on the ground, but maybe this Spring.
