Thanks Lisa for responding, I have a ton of names, because I collect the certificates through the state archives and various town halls throughout RI. So city directories?

Hi Nancy-Jo - I've done this by looking for the minister's name in a city directory. With any luck, he will have been around long enough to show up there. Who are you looking for?

Today, 16 August, about fifteen people worked on the vandalized Warwick Historical Cemetery # 23 Gen. George Sears Greene. This lot has over sixty burials. Most stones having been, over the years, vandalized. Certified Welding volunteers reset the Martha Dana cross into a reinforced concrete underground form and began repairing the original iron fence with several sections up by 4 pm. They also reset three other large stones. Several volunteers reset other stones and tried to make sense of the many pieces of beautifully carved slate stones and granite. The grounds were cut and cleaned and have never in a long time looked so nice despite the distraction of broken markers. Other family names in this lot are: Westcott; Kenyon; Jerald; Phelon; Rice; Fuller; Burkinhead; Baker and Webster. Maiden surnames: Arnold; Vinton; Hull, Bissell; Tibbitts; Wickes and Whitman. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Hi Shirley I just called the Tyler Free Library and she said that the documents may be with the Preservation Society in the town center??? Would that be the town hall?

This cemetery has been a difficult site to protect for many years. It cannot be seen from any highway and only partially from a backroad. Being frequented at night by revelers and vandals makes it virtually impossible to make secure. It is a great spot for young boozers. I noted this cemetery many years ago before the Greene stone was totally vandalized and told a member of a nearby organization but to no avail. I was not into cemetery preservation then as now. You can talk about vandals being punished - that's not the total solution; "mob justice" is ludicrous. These are kids. These kids grow into adults; many become respectable citizens. I am sure they are not happy when they remember the asinine things they did as kids. A chain link fence would be a good start - where's the money? The people being victimized there can't vote - they have no voice. So politicians and the city and state and, in this case, even the government turn their heads. I am sure if the kids wanted to get into a chain link fenced area they would simply use bolt cutters. The toppling of the Martha Dana cross (Gen. Greene's second wife) took a lot of effort and determination. It was a challenge and kids like that kind of challenge. We have to show kids that challenges can be more than just energy used to destroy. We have a national mentality that has elevated "macho energy" to the highest level. But it is even more complicated than that. Even the early colonists vandalized cemeteries - a good example is the Plymouth cemetery which stones were smashed and even removed to be used as housing material by our "forefathers." A further irony in this case is that a national organization will soon dedicate a memorial to Gen. Greene at Gettysburg. This while his grave is now a wreck. A very complicated situation needing constant dedication. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Could have been either, the image was good but the handwriting was not. I do so appreciate knowing Georgiaville is still out there and the fact that it is part of Smithfield was fabulous to know since one record on my ancestor states that he was born in N. Smithfield. Another said Slatersville which could all be the same place as far as I know. His obit however said he was born in Bristol, RI which puts a new wrinkle in the mix but hopefully the more contemporary records he or his living wife may have filled out for their children's birth records are more "correct" than that Obit filled out by a daughter many years later. > Sandy, > Do you mean Georgiaville and not Georgeville?

Hi Shirley I sure knew all of them. I am 47 but I grew up with all the Luther kids. Earl Johnson use to drive 20 miles an hour past the house to go and visit my grandmother Ruth Kennedy. I am going to find out what hours Tyler Free Library is open because I heard they have lots of information on the cemetery. Did you say you have info on the Kennedy's/Tyler's?

Anyone interested in helping with the care of the cemetery can feel free to contact me. I am a member of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. We are always looking for help in maintaining the cemetery. As you all know, life has a thing about getting in the way, and it can be hard to muster enough bodies to keep it clean.

Appalling! I hope they catch the vandals and prosecute them to the full letter of the law. I will try to follow this story in the Warwick Beacon. Congratulations on the cemetery adoption program. Good luck with further plans on Nov. 29th. Beth, in case I can't access the info in the 'net, please keep the list posted with any follow-ups about the vandals and the issues for presentation/discussion on Nov. 29th.
