| Comment | This burial ground was located in Pawtuxet, but on October 14, 1958 it was removed to the New Pawtuxet Cemetery, in the southeast corner, next to the Chinese section. It contains 49 burials.
James Arnold visited this lot 3 August 1890 and noted, “in village of Pawtuxet, Warwick side north of the Greenwich Road on knoll lot without protection, some of the stones broken and the tomb much out of repair” (Vol. 1, p. 139). Grace Tillinghast visited the cemetery 2 August 1932 and described it as, “south of the Rhodes dance hall, in field.” It was 900 ft. north of Post Road before removal to New Pawtuxet Cemetery.
The gravestones are not in their original order, so James Arnold’s map numbers from 1890 have been used here to more nearly replicate the original cemetery’s natural order. Those without descriptions or dimensions below were not found in 1995 and the data is from the Arnold transcript.
Recorded by John Sterling for a 1997 book on Warwick cemeteries. |
