| Comment | Located on Logee Street between Park Avenue and Front Street. Right of way exists from Park Avenue. Last known burial was in 1904. Cemetery was abandoned soon after. Few stones remain. Extensively vandalized. Number of burials is an estimate, based on church records. Tomb has been destroyed, and bodies removed. Many other bodies were removed after church abandoned the cemetery.
In 2020-2021 this cemetery was restored by a group led by Greg Duhamel.
Ownership of the land was transfered from the Woonsocket Company to St. James Episcopal Church on 20 Oct 1840 (Smithfield Register of Deeds, Book 21, Page 418). Additional land transfered on 10 June 1847 (Smithfield Register of Deeds, Book 25, Page 483). A right of way to Park Avenue was transfered to St. James Church by the R.I.H.T. Co. on 16 November 1887 (Woonsocket Register of Deeds, Book 34, Page 124).
