CommentThis lot is located 200 feet south of Maple Valley Road at telephone pole #58. It is behind the house at #805 Maple Valley Road. It is 30 ft x 30 ft, in fair condition, and enclosed with a stone wall. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are six burials with two inscribed stones, and both gravestones are currently leaning against the south wall. James N. Arnold visited on 24 Jul. 1905 and noted, “On the Benoni Havens farm, once Stone farm” (Vol. 6, Book A, page 1001). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
