Benjamin Reynolds Cemetery: Notes


Benjamin Reynolds cemetery

This is a small burying ground on a farm once belonging to Benjamin Reynolds, who came with his family from Rhode Island in the early part of the 19th century. Members of other neighborhood families were also buried here.

The plot is in a patch of woods at the back of a series of fields. It can be seen from the highway, but it is on private property and is inaccessible without permission. The cemetery has not been maintained and has suffered some damage from age and weather. It is apparent from the size of the ground that there must once have been more burials here.
