CommentThe Barber lot is located 300 feet west of Club House Road at telephone pole # 10, south of the residence at 12 Marion Drive and 75 feet east of Flat River Reservoir. The cemetery is 50 ft x 50 ft, in good condition, and enclosed with a stone wall with an iron gate. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 15 burials with two inscribed slate stones. Grace G. Tillinghast visited this lot on 14 Oct. 1930 “At Johnson’s Pond. Enter right hand road from Spring Lake. Walled in grave yard with only two stones” (in Arnold records, Vol. 6, Book J, page 1446). Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this lot in 1934, their #294. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
