CommentThis lot is located 15 ft south of Long Avenue in Apponaug, at telephone pole #54, just beyond the junction with West Shore Road. The cemetery is 55 ft x 55 ft, in fair condition, enclosed with a stone wall with steps leading up from the street and iron pipe fencing on other three sides. The historic cemetery sign is missing. It contains 30 burials with 30 inscribed stones. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #365, Lot #237. James Arnold visited this lot 11 Oct. 1891 and noted “at Apponaug in view of the railroad station lot fenced with iron pipes in good order” (Vol. 1, p. 215). Recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
