CommentThe Cornell Cemetery is located 10 feet north of Harkney Hill Road about 1500 feet east of Victory Highway at telephone pole #138. It is 75 ft x 75 ft, in fair condition, and enclosed with a stone wall. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 17 burials with 15 inscribed stones and one fieldstone. It is on the tax assessor’s map #310, Lot #62. James N. Arnold included with Coventry Historical Cemetery #124, Duty Cornell Lot, and visited on 25 Jul. 1905 (Vol. 6, Book A, page 1012). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
