Richard Dunn Lot
Also known as Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Middletown #68
Middletown, Newport County, Rhode Island, USA
The cemetery was not necessarily on the side of Cross Road, but it would have been the nearest road to the cemetery in the 1890s. Cross Road is now Oliphant Lane.
According to the Middletown cemetery book the Dunn Lot is listed under lost families, and indeed the exact location of the cemetery is no longer known today. However, there is recall of a cemetery in the back of the farmland of what is now Slate Hill Farm. The GPS coordinates are approximate based on this information.
A footstone original to this cemetery was recovered in 1983 at Chases Lane, two miles away. The family in possession stated that children used it as a baseball plate. The said children were students at Oliphant Public School in the 1930s, which is within a mile of the approximate site of the cemetery. The other grave markers may have undergone the same fate.
