The Newman Church is at 100 Newman Ave in East Providence, RI. But you may
hear it identified as being in Rumford. Rumford is the local section of
the Town of East Providence. (Recall that in New England a "Town" is like
the west calls a township. A Town in Rhode Island is an administrative
division which may include other areas of particular name.)
The Newman Church as three cemeteries associate with it. The cemetery
south from the church, across Newman Avenue, is the Newman Cemetery. It's
sole entrance is from Newman Ave. Originally, the Newman cemetery was
privately owned by the Newman family.
Immediately adjacent on the south of the Newman Cemetery is the Hunt
cemetery. It is small. You may not be able to see any real physical
distinction of it from the Newman Cemetery. The Hunt cemetery is small,
but has three entrances from Pawtucket Ave.
To the north of the Newman Church is the Lakeside Cemetery, the largest of
the three cemeteries.
