CommentThis cemetery is located 20 feet west of Maple Valley Road at telephone pole #18, next to and north of the Stone-Hammett Lot (Coventry Historical Cemetery #34). The cemetery is 50 ft x 70 ft, in fair condition, and has no enclosure. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 13 burials with nine inscribed stones and four fieldstones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 2 Nov. 1904 and commented, “[At the Elder Stone Meeting House Corner…] These have only protection on two sides from the adjoining lot; lot overgrown with shrub oak and birch” (Vol. 6, Book H, page 1356). Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this cemetery in 1931, their #26. Amelia K. Whitford also transcribed this lot in 1986. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
