Newport, Rhode Island

I went looking for long-lost relatives, by which I mean deceased ones. Mom's grandparents are buried in nearby Middletown at the elusive Four Corners Cemetery.

Here's a scene from Newport's expansive Common Burying Ground on Farewell Street. Most of the stones shown here date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Some were used for target practice during the American Revolutionary War.
