I have portraits of old headstones a relative took for me in the state of Maine they read:
John Flint died Feb. 27,1853 AE 30yrs.
John B. Flint 1862-i911
John Walter Flint 1850-1933 Nellie M. Flint (some one had planted a red geranium in front of this stone)
Marshall F. Flint Died Dec. 15,1862 AE 31yrs. 6 ms 15ds
Susie C. Flint Wife of Frank A. Noyes i876-i938
Frank A. Noyes 1869-1943
Royal (?N) Flint June 12,1877 Nov. 9,1916
Wm. Marr Flint 1929-1930
Jane M. wife of C. W. Flint Mar.24,1836 Feb. 24, 1906
Charles W. Flint Aug. ? 1826 June ? 1898 (this one had a flag and a star placed in front of it which made the day hard to read)
Nathaniel F. son of Charles W. & Jane M. Flint Died Dec. 15, 1858 AE 1yr. 2ms
Marshall I. son of C. W. & J. M. Flint died Sept. 29 1873 AE 7yrs, 10 Mos, 17 dys
Joseph B. son of C.W. & J.M. Flint died Oct. 28,1875 AE 4 yrs 5mos 28dys
I hope that maybe this will help someone out there. I copied the writing on the stones word for word.
Suspect the cemetery is in Sweden, Maine.
These people seem to be:
Charles Watson Flint, b. Aug 7 1826 in Sweden, Maine.
His second wife, Jane M. Bennett, b. March 24 1836 in Freedom, New Hampshire.
Charles Watson Flint served in the 23rd Maine Volunteers during the Civil War which explains the flag
