St-Joseph Cemetery staff in West Warwick relates that William Blanchard as recorded in the Rhode Island State Death Index is recorded in their records as Julien (likely Guillaume) Blanchette (68). He is buried in two person lot #243.5 with his daughter Melina Proulx (44). They suggest it was common practice for french speaking clerks to record Blanchette rather the Anglicized name variant Blanchard. The lot has no marker.
