Cape Split Cemetery was used primarily by the Waas and Donovan families who have been in the Addison area since the late 1770s. The cemetery's oldest legible internment dates to 1855, and marks the grave of Uriah N. Waas who was 15 years old at his death. The cemetery is still in use, and in 2014 "Wanie" Delaine E. Grant was laid to rest in it. However, most of the graves date from the mid 1800s to the 1930s.
Take some time to explore. Effie M. Waas' grave is marked with a statue of St. Christopher.
Charles Donovan is noted by his profession-- Captain.
At the back of the cemetery is the grave of Truman D. Waas. His headstone boasts a carved 3 masted schooner. He seems to have died at the Naval Hospital in Chelsea MA. Truman was 20 years old, and interestingly, died on the day the Battle of Appomattox was fought. However, he does not seem to have been with the 1st Maine soldiers who fought there.
