New England #25, 2009 - CEG

By Jay AdamsCEG CORRESPONDENT

Michael Hebert has faced some interestingcases in his time as archaeologist of the RhodeIsland Department of Transportation (RIDOT),but nothing like this.

Hebert, who has been with RIDOT since1989, had seen construction site digs unearthand reveal fragments and pottery, burial sitesand even forgotten buildings, but Hebert and hiscolleagues weren’t prepared in June 2006 whenheavy rains and subsequent erosion exposed thehuman remains of 71 individuals on the north-ern side of Route 37 in Cranston, R.I., during aproject behind the former Davol manufacturingbuilding on Sockanosset Cross Road.

By doing a much more sensitive kind ofexcavation work, Hebert and his colleagueslearned over many months that the remains, dat-ing from 1887 to 1917, were from what hadbeen the unmarked State Farm Cemetery.

From the first of their 19th century burials, totheir accidental unearthing, to their public iden-tifications and proper reburial with honored cer-emony, it took 122 years, but a state highwaydepartment did it up right.

A Stunning SceneWhen Route 37 was

built in the early 1960s,state and federal laws didnot mandate the manyapproval and review pro-cedures that RIDOT fol-lows today, prior to anywork. With property sim-ply marked on most mapsas state-owned, and origi-nal wooden markers longrotted, the highway wasinadvertently constructedover a section of a ceme-tery.

‘Green Mountain State’ Highway Projects Let


State Farm Cemetery was under Route 37,” said Hebert.“The highway was elevated, 15 to 20 feet above the ceme-tery. Back in the 1950s and 60s, during the Eisenhower era,when the federal highway system was put into place, therewere no environmental laws in place, no considerations forcemeteries.”

Hebert added that in 1966, the Historical Preservation Actwas established by Congress and that, “After 1969, thingsreally improved,” in marking such historic places. But thisdidn’t help the 71 people who were suddenly taken out of theground when Route 37 got that makeover in 2006.

Hebert described the stunning scene at the time: “Thedrainage system had failed and there was erosion at the baseof the highway. With the rains, humanremains rushed out of the gulley into theparking lot where the people who worked atCitizens Bank parked. They go to the parkinglot and all these skulls were around theircars.”

The police were called in, as the statemedical examiner thought it was some ghast-ly crime scene.

“I was called in and met with the StateHistorical Preservation archaeologist todetermine where the original remains camefrom. We found a certain number. Were theremore?” Hebert said.

No MournersAccording to RIDOT, in the 19th century,

the State Farm was overcrowded with poorsanitary conditions. Diseases, most notablytuberculosis, ravaged the population.Records indicated that about a quarter of thepeople who died at State Farm were buriedthere, brought to the grave by horse-drivenhearse.

Often, there were no mourners and nofamily to claim them. That job would be leftto people a century removed.

Beyond the bones, the men hired byRIDOT found lead coffin plates and eachplate had a different burial number and graveplot designation. There also was the date ofdeath and, in most cases, burial badge num-

bers. This would prove to be a great help.Construction work for DOT was straightfor-

ward around Route 37. To correct drainageproblems, RIDOT needed to build a newdrainage swale on the side of the highway,which required minor excavation. The trickywork came in how to remove, organize and cat-egorize the remains

The vast majority was discovered andremoved with the assistance of the archaeolo-gists. RIDOT then hired the archeological firmPAL Inc. of Pawtucket who carefully removedthe remains, catalogued and identified them,then took on the task of conducting genealogi-

cal research to identify their families and anylineal descendants.

“With a backhoe, we carefully scraped thearea, the top soil, removed the remains andtook them to the lab for study,” said Hebert.“We then notified next of kin. We put in apublic advertisement in an attempt to findthem. We had to take out two Cranston per-mits to remove and rebury them. To the kinwe gave a choice: Give us permission forreburial or take the remains with them.

“RIDOT had to fix the drainage, removesoil, put in a new drain,” added Hebert. “Thiswould involve more excavating. The OldState Farm Cemetery was a 3.4-acre parcelnear the former State Hospital. Either thenext of kin of those buried there were toopoor to pay for a burial plot or there were nonext of kin. The people were just buriedthere from around 1873 through 1918.”

Hebert said the cemetery was filled up anda new State Farm Cemetery was established

to the immediate northwest andwas used between 1918 through1933 with small concrete markersestablishing the graves.

Lack of HeadstonesAccording to RIDOT, the

process of identifying the remainswas difficult because of the lack ofthe headstones; but the discovery ofthe lead coffin nameplates withnearly every grave shaft helpedimmensely. According to CharlesSt. Martin of RIDOT the findingswere, “evidence to the sparse livesthese people lived and how theywere laid to rest. Along with theskeletal remains, only glass buttons

from hospital gowns they were buried in, along with anoccasional ring or hair comb, were the only items recov-ered.”

But RIDOT staff worked very hard. They were able tolocate details on each person, including where they lived instate care, how they died, their nationalities and their reli-gious preferences. When they were re-interred by RIDOTexcavation workers in 2008, it was done with their identitiesand bits of their lives re-established.

For more than a year, the department fielded many corre-spondences from people trying to discover if they were relat-ed to the re-interred individuals.

The state made connections to actual descendants, someof whom came to a very moving ceremony this past July, setup by the state.

“It was a very involved process,” added Hebert. “It tooktwo-and-a-half years. We thought these people deservedsomething more than a reburial without any sort of a cere-mony.”

That summer day, RIDOT hosted a memorial service tohonor the lives of the 71 men, women and children re-interred in June 2008 at State Institution Cemetery No. 2,which sits on the Cranston-Warwick line.

RIDOT planned beyond backhoes and earthmovers forthe July 14 event. The state arranged for all possible clergymembers to attend, representing the faiths of the 71 people.There was music, flowers on each gravestone and a wreath-laying ceremony by a national representative of the Sons ofUnion Veterans of the Civil War.

At the ceremony, RIDOT Director Michael P. Lewis said,“Ever since the remains of individuals were discovered, thedepartment has been committed to the task of seeing thatthey would be re-interred with dignity and honor and thattheir graves would not be lost. I am proud … to see the ful-fillment of that pledge.”

Monument in the WorksWorking with Warwick and Cranston, the Pawtucket

River Authority, the Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery andmany other agencies, RIDOT reburied and reseeded thegraves and is now working on a vertical monument for theState Farm Cemetery. This memorial is being designed by

the award-winning firm of Bradford Associates. “There will be a suitable monument at Route 37,” added

Hebert. “We will identify the area as State Farm Cemetery.This is rare that we had to go to this extent, but highwayswere built over cemeteries across this country, with the lackof environmental laws. Highways were built over cemeter-ies and some 3,100 people are still buried under the highwaythere.”

BOSTON (AP) Hundreds of con-struction workers are flooding theStatehouse to lobby on behalf ofcasino gambling in Massachusetts.

The hard-hats rallied outside Oct.29, just hours before a legislativehearing about an array of gamblingproposals.

Gov. Deval Patrick tried but

failed last year to win approval ofthree resort-style casinos. His prin-cipal opponent, former HouseSpeaker Salvatore DiMasi, hassince resigned and new SpeakerRobert DeLeo backs expandedgaming.

The same is true of SenatePresident Therese Murray.

The question now is whether topush toward the resorts, add slotmachines at existing race tracks ordo some combination.

The construction workers saidexpanding gaming could create20,000 jobs. Opponents warn aboutthe social costs such as debt anddivorce.

Workers Join Those Supporting Casinos

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) Plans for a temporaryLake Champlain ferry service aimed at providing atemporary link for the now-closed Lake ChamplainBridge are moving ahead, with the state of Vermonthiring a contractor to build the ferry landing on theVermont side.

The state Agency of Transportation chose KubrickyConstruction, of Mechanicville, N.Y., to do theVermont land work. Starting Nov. 30, the companywill build approach roads in preparation for in-water

construction of ferry docks. Similar work is under wayon the New York side.

The bridge, linking Crown Point, N.Y., and WestAddison, Vt., was closed suddenly Oct. 16 amid safe-ty concerns.

The states of Vermont and New York plan to demol-ish it and build a new one, and the ferry service isbeing started to carry vehicles across Lake Champlainuntil the new one is built.

Contractor Chosen for Temporary LakeChamplain Ferry Link Between N.Y., Vt.
