CommentLocated 235 feet south of Douglas Pike behind #65 half way between Douglas Pike and Tarklin Pond across from Pound Hill Road. Cemetery originally transcribed by Irene Nebiker in the early 1970's, it was re-surveyed by Roger Beaudry on November 19, 1994. Cemetery sits atop a small rise overlooking pond. Fence and gate are in good condition. Cemetery is in fair shape with very tall weeds growing within its borders. Cemetery is not shown in any land records located in the North Smithfield Town Hall.
