We wanted to waymark this small, old cemetery after we found a geocache nearby.

My husband and I are geocachers, and I am a waymarker. I take lots of photos when we are traveling, since they can be used in my logs for either of these two hobbies. When we completed the geocache GC2CPD8 Old Mill Rd Cemetery nearby, I noticed this cemetery was not waymarked and began my search to learn more about the cemetery so it could be waymarked. My internet research did not turn up any information. I note there is no sign here, so I am unsure of the official name of the cemetery. If anyone does have any additional information on it, or anyone who is buried here, I would appreciate learning about it.
I believe ther are 30-50 graves here, and the dates of death all seem to be before 1925. I did not look at every grave.
The cemetery is located just off Hwy 9, not far from Grover Lake and First Chain Lake, West of Wesley, Maine, in Washington County. The gravel road does not have clear signage but it appears to be Old Mill Road or Chain Lake Boulevard.
Here is the information on the graves that I photographed here:
**Willie L Robinson, son of R.S. & N Robinson
