Rice Cemetery is 400 feet west of Hopkins Hollow Road at telephone pole #22, between old house foundation on the north and a large farmhouse (marked 1877) on the south. The cemetery is 600 feet north of the farmhouse. The cemetery is 60 ft x 75 ft, in good condition, and has no enclosure. The historic cemetery sign is in poor condition. There are 42 burials with 2 inscribed stones and 40 fieldstones. James N. Arnold visited this lot on 12 Aug. 1905 and noted, "At Hopkins City, on knoll, no protection, an ancient burial yard. In this yard is a soldier's marker over a grave not otherwise marked. The soldier's name was Brand, Mr. Rider says. There was evidence of many other graves that have been taken up and others that the markers have disappeared" (Vol. 6, Book B, page 1224). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book on Coventry cemeteries
