There is evidence that the former Jenckes Cemetery was located on this site. That would explain the existence of graves that predate the establishment of Oak Hill by more than thirty years. Many prominent historical figures from Woonsocket history are buried here. 122 veteran's graves have been identified. Cemetery is maintained by the cemetery corporation, and a full time caretaker lives on the site.
Vandalism is still a problem.
