CommentLocated on the cliff edge overlooking Second Beach from Purgatory Chasm. Take the path from the parking lot on Tuckerman Ave to the foot bridge. Stone is 100 ft northeast of the foot bridge over the chasm. From the bridge look toward the water. At the 11:00 position is a pink granitestone at the edge of the cliff. Archibald Gracie Lawrence was buried in Trinity Church Yard in Newport.
