CommentAlden Beaman notes: "This cemetery is also called City Cemetery and Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Newport #5. It is located on Fairwell (sic) Street opposite the Common Burial Ground. It is a fairly modern cemetery…" Beaman recorded only husband-wife pairs born through 1850 and not children since they had no children and therefor were not of interest to genealogists, acording to him. This cemetery was photographed in 2019 and 2020 by Lew Keen.
