CommentThis cemetery is located in yard of 11 Gervais Street, 10 feet south of road at southeast corner of Knotty Oak Road and Gervais Street at telephone pole # 46. The cemetery is 25 ft x 20 ft, in excellent condition, and enclosed with granite posts and iron rails. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are seven burials with seven inscribed stones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 29 Sept. 1905 and noted, “On road leading North from the Knotty Oak Cemetery [Woodland Cemetery-Coventry Historical Cemetery #66] and at the corner of first road going East [Gervais St.], beside road in pasture,…lot protected by granite posts and iron rods” (Vol. 6, Book E, page 1309). Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this cemetery in 1933, their #165. Amelia K. Whitford also transcribed this cemetery. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
