| Comment | In 2015 this cemetery is southeast of the airport. It is 300 feet south of Warwick Industrial Drive, behind the east corner of the Catering Gourmet building.
In 1993 this cemetery is located 1850 ft north of Strawberry Fields Road at telephone pole #44, behind the old Leesona Plant, inside a barb wire fence. You must get permission to enter this area as it is a toxic waste site. Enter at telephone pole #44, drive to end of road past a small pond and follow the fence to the cemetery. It can also be reached from Industrial Drive. This cemetery has been heavily vandalized. A broken monument and two badly broken slate stones were all that could be found in 1995. The five Budlong stones have been removed to Brayton Cemetery (WK034). Several of the Littlefields were removed to Swan Point Cemetery in Providence. The cemetery is 50 ft x 60 ft, in very poor condition, with no enclosure. The historical cemetery sign is missing. It contained 24 burials with 19 inscriptions and five fieldstones. Apparently there were several slate stones, and then a marble monument was erected to the Thomas Littlefield family. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #342, Lot #430.
James Arnold visited this lot 4 Oct. 1891 and noted, “on the Elder Littlefield farm northwest of Old Warwick on the plains and in the rear of the house on knoll surrounded by woods, well walled, good condition” (Vol. 4, p. 171). Charles and Martha Benns recorded this cemetery in 1937, their #609.
