CommentCemetery was surveyed by Roger Beaudry on January 7, 1995. At that time cemetery was in a very rundowm condition. One tree had fallen over and ripped the stone out of the ground with it. Although neighbors are close, no one cares about it enough to maintain it. Previous surveys were done by Ethel M White in the 1930's and Grace G Tillinghast who described lot as "Wright Cemetery, Great Road, Limerock Section." Here transcript is in Arnold's Records, Volume 15, page 144. Charles & Martha Benns also recorded lot in 1941 and assigned it number 925. It is recorded in Volume VI page 18. They erroneously listed it as being in North Smithfield. Transcribed by Ron Farrar who describes lot as follows: "Great Road"
