Comment
The photo was taken in 1916 when the Providence Water Board was getting ready to dam up the river to create the Scituate reservoir. This cemetery did not need to be moved, but it is on the restricted reservoir property. 0.3 mile from Central Pike. Enter red pine grove across the road from NE pole #7 on south side of wall and follow wall to end, continue on to white pine grove on a higher elevation. A brook which runs into the Reservoir is north of the stone wall, then curves slightly. Follow a faint foot path bearing left through the white pine. Follow path along ridge over brook and Reservoir to cemetery. On restricted reservoir property parcel 989, Photo #706
