Harriet Ware in Swan Point

A teacher of children in the impoverished neighborhood of India Point in Providence in the early 19th century, Harriet Ware must have been someone on the special side of life. When she died of cancer in 1849 the Sabbath Schools erected a monument over her grave in Swan Point. Sitting out alone on a slight rise in the ground draws the casual passerby by close in to learn why this space seems slightly special indeed.
