CommentLocated 60 feet east of Maple Valley Road at telephone pole #19, directly behind the Burlingame-Stone Lot (Coventry Historical Cemetery #37). The cemetery is 70 ft x 50 ft, in fair condition, and has no enclosure. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 35 burials with 23 inscribed stones and 12 fieldstones. James N. Arnold visited this cemetery on 2 Nov. 1904 and noted, “[At the Elder Stone Meeting House corner…] This yard is on opposite side of road, graves are covered with brush and shrub oak” (Vol. 6, Book H, page 1360). He considered this lot and the Burlingame-Stone Lot one cemetery. Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this lot in 1931, their #26. Nellie Potter also transcribed this cemetery in 1930. Amelia K. Whitford in 1986. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
