CommentThe Cornell Cemetery is located 600 feet west of Susan Bowen Road at telephone pole #15. It is northwest of the residence at #205 Susan Bowen Road. It is 55 ft x 50 ft, in fair condition, and enclosed with a stone wall. The gate is missing. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 25 burials with 15 inscribed stones. It is on the tax assessor’s map, map #315, Lot #81.01. James N. Arnold visited on 26 Jul. 1905 and noted, “Lot walled and fenced, in fine order, yard neglected” (Vol. 6, Book A, page 1039). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
