CommentThis lot is located 350 feet north of Harkney Hill Road at telephone pole #135, northwest of the residence at #2750 Harkney Hill Road and 300 feet northwest of the Wilson Family Burial Plot (Coventry Historical Cemetery #125). The cemetery is 25 ft x 25 ft, in fair condition, and enclosed with a stone wall. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are two burials with two inscribed stones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 25 Jul. 1905 and noted, “The Cornell yard a few rods northeast from the above [Coventry Historical Cemetery #125 - Wilson Family Burial Plot]” (Vol. 6, Book A, page 1012). Found, registered and recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
