Add PhotosThis cemetery was located 150 ft. west of Post Rd. at Cowesett Rd. It was a fieldstone cemetery at the northwest corner of Post Rd. and Cowesett Rd. that was destroyed while digging a hole to install gasoline tanks for a gas station in the 1980s. The building housed a dry cleaning business in 1995. It was on the tax assessor's map, Plat #236, Lot #18. Although the RIHCC was told by a resident of the area that there was a cemetery there, the following research did not turn up any evidence that there once was. A review of the deeds to the property back to 1720 was made finding no reference to a cemetery. The property was sold to Mobile Corp. in 1964, and then sold in 1984 when the gas station went out of business. The micro-films of the Warwick Beacon for 1964, 1965, 1983, and 1984 were reviewed and no story about human remains while installing or dismantling gas tanks on the property was found. In Sept. 1874, the property was included in a survey of Post Rd. and the eastern area of Cowesett and no indication of a cemetery was made. In May 1892 the property was identified in a survey of the Rice Arnold Plat with no indication of a cemetery.
