| Comment | This cemetery is located 1,050 feet south of Liberty Lane in the Great Swamp Management Area at telephone pole #4047. To get to this lot follow the trail by telephone pole #4047 south. It will meet up with a stone wall on the east side where you go through the bar way and follow the trail to the cemetery. It is 40 feet x 75 feet, in fair condition, with no enclosure or historical cemetery sign. It contains 32 burials with twelve inscribed stones and twenty fieldstones. Although Arnold found “12 full and 8 small graves with rude stones” in 1880, nine of the marble stones he recorded have disappeared and could not be found, even with extensive probing.
James N. Arnold recorded this lot Feb. 24, 1880, his #14, “this lot is entirely unprotected, on the east side of the public road, P and S Railroad and farm house and on knoll surrounded mostly by swamp a distance south from (new) Kingston depot.”
Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries. |
