Comment
This lot is located 50 feet north of Wood Street at Woburn Street at telephone pole #9. on the front lawn of Senior Citizens Center. The cemetery is 60 ft x 50 ft, in good condition, and enclosed with an iron pipe fence with an iron gate. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 24 burials with 18 inscribed stones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 21 Aug. 1905 and noted, “At Washington on east side of village beside street, yard fenced in iron posts and rods. Yard in most excellent order” (Vol. 6, Book C, page 1269). Charles and Martha Benns transcribed this cemetery in 1939, their #845. Also transribed by Briggs (#106) and Amelia K. Whitford. Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
