CommentThis cemetery is located five hundred feet east of South Road at telephone pole #70 near the Curtis Corner Baptist open air chapel, south of the old Narragansett Railroad bed (now a bike path). It is twenty feet square, in poor condition, enclosed with a stone wall, and has a historical cemetery sign in fair condition. There are eight burials, all marked with marble stones. James N. Arnold visited this lot Mar. 27, 1881, his #280, noting “on land of Jabez C. Tucker north of his house, lot walled and faced evergreen inside wall.” Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
