CommentLocated 100 feet north of Kingstown Road next to tennis courts in Sprague Park. James N. Arnold visited this lot 2 Mar. 1880, his #52, "In the old orchard back of Gov. Sprague's farm house is the old Mumford burial yard - yard entirely unprotected. On dark stone [schist carved in CT] we read [4 gravestones read by JNA.]" "33 full graves and 23 smaller ones are in this yard marked with rude stones only."
