Comment	moved to North Burial Ground Providence - 21 Jul 1975 by Prada funeral home consists of a monument and 6 field stones. 30 bodies were moved 21 Jul 1975 and placed in 5 graves (6 in each). One more was brought in Oct 1975 and placed into grave #1. There was a family genealogy and papers from an 1866 family reunion in Cranston at the old farm (some say a family bible) in a steel box in a compartment in the monument put there in 1866.
