CommentThis cemetery is located 150 feet east of Hill Street at telephone pole # 137 at the Walter B. Chace Little League Field. The original enclosure of granite posts and iron rails (rails now gone), is now surrounded by a chain link fence. The cemetery is 75 ft x 75 ft, in fair condition and the historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 37 burials with 34 inscribed stones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 10 Oct. 1904 and noted, “On the road leading West from Fiskeville to.Washington beside the road, lot fenced by granite posts and iron rods, lot in fine order” (Vol. 6, Book J, page 1398). Amelia K. Whitford also transcribed this cemetery. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
