CommentThis cemetery is located five hundred feet north of Kingston Road, Route #138, just west of the URI campus at Kingston and just east of West Kingston, at telephone pole #475. It is next to the Old Fernwood Cemetery and across the road (Route #138) from the New Fernwood Cemetery. The well-maintained yard is 55 feet x 140 feet, in excellent condition, and is enclosed with an iron fence with an iron gate. There are 24 burials marked with inscribed marble and granite stones. James N. Arnold recorded this lot Feb. 22, 1880, his #10, “Peckham cemetery opposite Fernwood.” When he recorded it, there were only four stones. Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
