CommentThis cemetery is located 840 feet north of Saugatucket Road at telephone pole #12. This is behind Perennial Nursery (2013). Enter at the stone wall next to telephone pole #12 (old #6516) and proceed to the cemetery on the left side of the wall some 840 feet from the road. It is 50 feet x 28 feet, in poor condition, enclosed with a stone wall, and the historical cemetery sign is missing. It contains 10 burials with 10 inscribed stones. Only three of those stones were found in 2001. George Harris recorded this lot 14 Apr 1880, his #85, “on land late belonging to John Nichols and a distance north from his late residence is a burial yard of his family well walled in good order with several beautiful firs.” Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
