Comment
This cemetery is located ninety feet west of Dugway Bridge Road at telephone pole #29, east of the garage at #500 Dugway Bridge Road between the garage and the road. The Audubon Society’s Marion Eppley Wildlife Sanctuary is across Dugway Bridge Road. It is 50 feet x 35 feet, in fair condition, with no enclosure and no historical cemetery sign. There are thirteen burials with three inscribed stones and ten fieldstones. James N. Arnold recorded this lot 17 Nov 1880, his #245, “on land of [name not given] a short distance east of river at Glenrock a burial yard.” Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
