WARWICK, RI — The Warwick Historical Cemetery Commission hosted a cleanup of Brayton Cemetery Saturday afternoon,  drawing people of all ages from church groups and Warwick residents who picked up trash, raked leaves, cleared broken branches and helped fix broken headstones.

City Councilman Stephen McAllister joined the volunteers, and took a few photos of the volunteerism in action:
