Let's take advantage of the long days and help out SC033, Yeaw-Howard-Phillips Lot on a Thursday evening.
SC033
- description from RI Historical Cemeteries:
| Located beside Darby Road 300 feet north of Central Pike. James N Arnold recorded this lot 14 Sep 1904 (Vol 3, Pg 41) On the road leading south from the Gov West place and near its crossing the first road south a burial yard which is beside road. Yard well walled and lot in good order. |
The lot is recorded as 75' x 150'' and has 59 listed burials, including an unknown soldier of the Civil War. There are a few steps up from the road. Please park with care along the east side of Darby Road. There's lots of space heading north.
Helpful items to bring:
Drinking water
Alcohol gel (in case there is any poison ivy)
Bug spray
Snacks
Gloves
Knee pads
Sunscreen/hat
Hand tools like clippers, shovels, rakes, and saws - it's a great idea to mark these with your initials
Please use caution. Safety is most important, both for the volunteers and of the cemetery and stones. Watch out for possible thorns, poison plants, and ticks. Dressing for exposure to these is a great idea. Save your flip-flops and shorts for another event!
