Lisa, Relative was a patient from 1897 to Jan 1902. That's the only information Little Sisters could give me. Just a line from a ledger. I have heard the arrangement to bury residents was in St Patrick's cemetery in Prov. Diocese of Prov Cemeteries office would need a date of death to look up burials--I have none. There is none to be found in the state, town, or Little Sisters. [If your relative was not a nun, chances are the little sisters would have had an arrangement to bury their residents somewhere. Someone at the Little Sisters should be able to point you in the right direction.] Jay --- RIGENWEB-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote:

Hi Jay - Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - You never mentioned your person's name, so I don't know if this will help you, but at the Irish of Southern New England web pages, there is an effort to record this cemetery. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ussnei/StPatProv.htm Providence St. Patrick Corner of Douglas and Chad Brown Providence, RI 02908 phone: (401) 724-3130 If your person was indigent, he may not have a stone, of course, but you never know.... Have you contacted the cemetery itself? The people who work there are generally very knowledgeable about what is where in their cem. Maybe there is a section there set aside for the people from the Little sisters? If they have the burial books at the cem. office, maybe you can look through them, starting with 1902, when your person left the home. Have you visited the American French Genealogy society? They have many published records for deaths in RI - churches, cemeteries, funeral homes.... www.afgs.org How about city directories? Have you found your person before he went to the home? Maybe you need to look for the records of some of his relatives? I can't think of anything else at the moment, so I hope someone else will chime in here.
