Comment	This cemetery is located seven hundred feet north of Curtis Corner Road. Follow the drive at telephone pole #106 / 4871½ on Curtis Corner Road north for seven hundred feet to a house on the left. The cemetery is in the woods 160 feet SW of the SW corner of the house. The undergrowth is very thick in the summer, and the gravestones could not be located in June of 2003. James N. Arnold visited this cemetery Feb. 25, 1880, his #24, “near the above Sweet burial yard [SK027] on other side of driftway in southwest corner of lot in which stands house with stone chimney now abandoned are four graves among whom are those of the celebrated Sylvia Torrey, her children and a grandchild. She was a noted character in her day.” Found, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
