NEWPORT HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: NT006 ST MARY'S CEMETERY NEWPORT RI Location: 15 ft north of WARNER ST at TEL pole # 12 500 burials Owner: St. Mary's Cemetery, 80 Memorial Blvd, Newport RI 02840 (401) 846-4926 NOTE: This church was built in the early 1850's when the congregation outgrew the previous Catholic church, St. Joseph's on Barney St. Victorian transcribers and descriptive writers appear to have ignored the cemetery. Robert Hayman's "Catholicism in Rhode Island" mentions the church in passing, gives further reference to the history privately printed in 1902: "Golden Jubilee of the Church of the Holy Name of Mary, Our Lady of the Isle, Newport, R.I., 1852-1902." The inscriptions were selectively transcribed by Alden G. Beaman (AGB) and published in the "RI Genealogical Register," 8:343-352 and 9:81-86. As usual he copied only husband-wife pairs born before 1850, with the addition of some widows whose husbands are named.
