CommentThis cemetery is located 1450 feet east of Old Post Road at telephone pole #239. Follow the drive at telephone pole #239 that passes several houses, then passes north of Rum Pond. There is a small house on a hill just north of the road at the pond (the closest one to the pond). This house is #458C Old Post Road. The stones are fifty feet from the road in front of the house. Two of the stones are cemented into the wall at the steps, and a footstone into the wall on the north side. On top of the wall is a fragment of the Caleb Hazard Sr. gravestone. The cemetery exists only as these three stones. James N. Arnold visited this lot Oct. 16, 1880, his #189, “on land of Rev. E. F. Watson west of his house beside road in open lot and unprotected a burial yard. Think in all probability graves in this yard have been obliterated by the plow.” Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
