CommentThis lot is located 100 ft west of Edythe Street at telephone pole #4 , in back of house #40. The cemetery is 60 ft x 45 ft, in good condition, enclosed with a stone wall with an iron gate. The historical cemetery sign is in good condition. It contains 40 burials with 28 inscribed stones and 8 fieldstones. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #353, Lot #16. James Arnold visited this lot 28 Sept. 1892 and noted, “in the George W. Spencer yard at Old Warwick, well walled, good condition” (Vol. 2, p. 349). Recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
