Historic Cemetery No 5, Exeter, Rhode Island

Located on Frost Hollow road just off of route 165 in Exeter, smack next to the Arcadia Wildlife Management area, this cemetery is a bit odd: only two markers were noted. One for the Barber family and the other one, a veteran's stone relatively new and in good shape with a new flag, to Edward LOvejoy of the 2nd Massachusetts (infantry?).

Historic Cemetery No. 101 Exeter, Rhode Island

Located along the John B. Hudson trial in Arcadia Wildlife Management, this cemetery may have been the Wildcox family cemetery.
