CommentThis cemetery does not exist in its original location, probably north of Curtis Corner Road at the intersection with the Narragansett Railroad bed, now the bike path. It was removed to Riverside Cemetery (SK043) sometime after Nov. 7, 1880 when James N. Arnold recorded it. He numbered it #222, noting “on land of William J. Davis west of his house lot walled and pointed a burial yard of his family in good order, evergreens in each corner. Two graves marked rude as yet that of …” He recorded three stones, two fieldstones and one presumably marble. Identified, registered, and recorded by John Sterling & James Wheaton for a 2004 book on South Kingstown cemeteries.
