CommentThis lot is located 90 feet north of Flat River Road (Route #117) at telephone pole # 326. It is 100 yards east of Simon Templar Road, across from #3110 Flat River Road. The cemetery is 30 ft x 20 ft, in good condition, and has no enclosure. The historic cemetery sign is missing. There are 14 burials with three inscribed stones and 11 fieldstones. Grace G. Tillinghast visited this lot on 28 October 1930 and noted, “Between Coventry Centre and Potterville, near old Goff farm” (in Arnold Vol. 6, page 1452). Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this lot in 1935, their #420. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
