CommentThis cemetery is surrounded by a gravel pit four hundred feet east of Leisure Drive at telephone pole #5862. It is 3900 feet south of Worden Pond. The boundary, 25 feet square, is marked with ten large wooden posts and a stone wall on the west side. The size seems to have been reduced from the 1970 state survey when it was fifty feet square. A memorial marker for Samuel Worden and his wife Rose Goodspeed has disappeared since the Pettaquamscutt survey in 1979. The cemetery is in fair condition, enclosed with wooden posts, and the historical cemetery sign is in good condition. Because the cemetery was reduced in size and was apparently not recorded by James N. Arnold, it is impossible to say how many burials were here. Three fieldstone marked graves were seen in 2001. Recorded by John Sterling and James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
