CommentThis lot is located 50 feet east of Maple Valley Road at telephone pole #18. This cemetery is 15 ft x 40 ft, in fair condition, and has no enclosure (there is evidence of granite posts on the ground). The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are six burials and six inscribed stones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 2 Nov. 1904 and commented, “[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 cemetery and the Burlingame-Wright Lot (Coventry Historical Cemetery #36) as one cemetery. Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this cemetery in 1931, their #26. Amelia K. Whitford also transcribed this cemetery in 1986. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
