Comment
This cemetery is located two hundred feet north of the driveway on Curtis Corner Road at telephone pole #106 / 4871.5 on the east side of the driveway. It is 35 feet x 50 feet, in good condition, enclosed with a fine cemented stone wall, with an iron gate. The historical cemetery sign is in fair condition. There are eight inscribed marble and granite stones and two fieldstones. James N. Arnold recorded this lot Feb. 25, 1880, his #23, “the Sweet lot a distance west of the above [SK028] well fenced with pickets in good condition.” Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
