Not too long ago I returned to the nexus of cemeteries scattered along the old rail-bed (now the Washington Secondary Bike Path) and around the junction of Routes 117 and 116 in Coventry.
Known as Woodland (historic 66), Pine Grove (historic 109) and Manchester (historic 30) Cemeteries, many of the graves are now overgrown by woods and brush and suffering from extreme neglect. Still, the history of Coventry lies here and here I sought to find clues to the identities of who those who once forged a life out of the hardscrabble world now known as Rhode Island.
Over the next several months I'll be posting numerous gravesites, as well as Swan Point graves.
