| Comment | This burial ground is one of three Tanner lots located a two thousand feet south of Laurel Lane, behind the green for hole number three of the Laurel Lane Country Club. It is 60 feet x 45 feet, in good condition, with no enclosure. The historical cemetery sign incorrectly reads #17. There are twelve graves in this burial ground marked with fieldstones, five of which are crudely inscribed.
James N. Arnold recorded this lot Nov. 10, 1880, his #233, “a short distance northwest from the above [SK 131] another yard of the same family in field without protection, rude stones.” He recorded nine inscribed and eighteen uninscribed fieldstones, nine large and nine small [children], in what we have now divided into two burial grounds, SK 129 and SK 130.
Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries. |
