CommentLocated 15 feet south of Iron Mine Hill Road and 150 feet west of Sayles Hill Road. Next to the driveway of #154 Iron Mine Hill Road. Cemetery was first surveyed by Charles & Martha Benns who listed it as #731 in Volume IV page 159 of their work. Cemetery was also surveyed by Ethel M White in the 1930's who described it as "Sayles Hill Road, Mowry and Division Streets leads into Manville." Irene Nebiker in the early 1970's and by Roger Beaudry o November 26, 1994. At the time of the last survey, the cemetery was found to be in rather fair shape except for the abundance of nearly waist high weeds throughout the area. A condition which could easily be taken care of by some conscientious neighbors. This cemetery covers an area of .34 acres and is listed in the North Smithfield land records. There is, however, no owner of the land given. Reference List: Reference 4: Death records of the First Universalist Church, Woonsocket, RI Reference 7: Death records of St James Episcopal Church (1836-1897) Woonsocket, RI Transcribed by Ron Farrar circa 1970. "Iron Mine Hill Road, near Old Sayles Hill Road."
