CommentLoacted 300 feet east of Old Baptist Road and across the railroad tracks. It is most easily reached from Compass Circle, where it is 500 feet north. Lot is in fair shape, vanalized at some time, many excavations. Stones broken, displaced. Site is 30' beyond tracks in a lot surroundeed by an 8 foor chain link fence that surrounds Government land at Davisville. Arnold documented this yard on 31 Jul 1883, his #163, "on the east side of the railroad and close beside it a burial yard of the Hunt family, fenced with iron rails and granite posts." Burgess in 1947 said the lot was in very bad shape. Recorded by Althea McAleer, Beatrix Hoffius, and Deby Nunes for a 1992 book on North Kingstown cemeteries.
