Comment
On north side of the road leading to Easton Estates, 300 feet behind a residence and about 350 feet from NEL pole #45 on Paradise Ave. In 1884 this cemetery was renovated and many of the original slate stones were replaced with white granite stones by Ellen Townsend, an Easton descendant. The perimeter wall was built at that time. Unfortunately some beautiful slate gravestones probably carved by the Stevens Shop in Newport were lost.
