Covey Cemetery is located in section 4 of Washington Township in Mercer County. From Princeton, go south on highway 65 to the first gravel road to the right (west). Follow this road and turn right at the first intersection, then proceed for approximately three miles. The road will turn west, then back south. The cemetery is on the right (west) side of the road just before the gravel ends. It is considered abandoned and is not maintained. The list is compiled from various sources including old surveys, burial records and family histories. It should not be considered a complete list of burials.
