CommentBehind vacant commercial bldg on SE corner of School House Rd & Market St. On the Read Farm. Some of the data is from a manuscript from RI Historical Society. It says "There is a deed on record in the Town Clerk's office at Warren, under date of Dec. 1783, from Nathaniel Bowen to his son James Bowen, describing the farm on which this burial lot is located and which states that it was laid out by "my honored grandfather, Obadiah Bowen." [1627-1710] Between 1992 visit and 2000 this cemetery was cleared, grass was planted and stones repaired by Bob McCauley. It is now one of the nicest family cemeteries in the state!
