Comment
This cemetery is located twenty feet west of Blueberry Hill Road at telephone pole #11. It is between the road and house #200. The lot was cleared and the George Gardiner stone was propped against the stone wall in 2000. It is 36 feet square, in good condition, enclosed with a stone wall, and has no historical cemetery sign. It contained three burials in 1880 when James N. Arnold visited, but the two Slocums were subsequently removed to River Bend Cemetery in Westerly. James N. Arnold recorded this lot Nov. 19, 1880, his #258. “on land of Joseph Gardiner north of his house, lot walled in and pointed a few evergreens in yard. South of [SK053].” Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
