This photo shows the front gate and office building from inside the North Burial
Ground Cemetery in Providence, Rhode Island. The photos were taken May 7, 2006.

Additional Comments:
If anyone is looking for old burial records for this cemetery, make sure you
stop at the front office. I spoke with a woman in the office who kindly looked
up the name I was hunting. She found the missing maternal child I was searching
for. However, I was told that photocopies of the original registraton books was
not allowed; as some of the record books were too old and fragile. The lady was
kind enough to write down the information I was looking for on this child. There
was also a gardener who was very helpful in steering me to the proper area of
the cemetery to find my missing Marguerite L. Bishop. In this cemetery the
Potter's Field section had been moved to a large section at the back of the
cemetery, cut off by a tree line. If I hadn't spoken to the gardener, I never
would have known about this Potter's Field area. You have to cross a small
cement ' worker's bridge' over a creek to get to this section. I found that the
numbered white generic marker for my Baby M. was missing.
