CommentThe Daniel Goff Lot located 30 feet west of Old Flat River Road at telephone pole #341, next to the pumping station for Flat River Reservoir, overlooking the reservoir. The cemetery is 55 ft x 65 ft, in good condition, and is a raised platform type of cemetery. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 10 burials with 10 inscribed stones. Emma B. Shaw and Sarah W. Knight visited this lot on 19 November 1927 and noted, “On road leading West from Washington Village, left hand side, on high ground. Yard walled and in good repair” (in Arnold records, Vol. 6, Book J, page 1442). Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this cemetery in 1938, their #792. Also transcribed by Amelia K. Whitford. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
