CommentShown on 1870 map of Woonsocket. Removed by developers in 1870's. Bodies were re-intered in Union Cemetery, North Smithfield, RI, according to information received from the Woonsocket Historical Society. However a 2022 archeological study of the cemetery found that 2 graves remain on the site. Records of Union Cemetery prior to 1890 were lost in a fire. Cemetery was bordered by Railroad, Arnold, and Cato Streets.
