Church Hill Cemetery is on a rise at the shore of Machias Bay, a very picturesque and pastoral location for a cemetery. As well as the zinc grave markers there are quite a number of veterans' gravesites. We were there around the Fourth of July and it was nice to see all the American Flags on the veterans' graves.
The Cates Family Headstone is very near the southern edge of the cemetery, just up the bank from the shore and becoming overgrown with underbrush. Buried here are Asa Cates, the father, Maria Frances, his wife, and their daughter Mary Angeline.
