CommentThe Olney Lot is located 200 feet north of Maple Valley Road at telephone pole #52, at the junction with Franklin Road. It is directly north and across Maple Valley Road from the Whaley-Havens Lot (Coventry Historical Cemetery #17). It is 30 ft x 30 ft, in poor condition, and enclosed with granite posts and iron rails. This historic cemetery sign is missing. There are four burials with four inscribed stones. It is on the tax assessor’s map, map #323, Lot #92.1. James N. Arnold visited on 24 Jul. 24 1905 and noted, “On land of Benoni Havens west of Dunning Gorton place beside road” (Vol. 6, Book A, page 998). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
