| Comment | This cemetery is twenty feet west of the ninety degree bend in Little Rest Road at telephone pole #6246, next to house #112. It is 90 feet by 100 feet, in fair condition, enclosed with a stone wall with an iron gate, and the historical cemetery sign is in good condition. It contains 54 burials with nine inscribed stones and 45 fieldstones.
James N. Arnold visited this cemetery Feb. 21, 1880 his #6, “on land of Judge E. R. Potter a distance west of house, open plain, yard unprotected, is the old Reynolds burial ground.” “Note: There are 20 large and 5 smaller graves here with rude markers, lot unprotected. Slabs white marble. Three of the daughters of Joseph and Lydia Reynolds it is said hung themselves and with the same rope and it was supposed John N. would had he lived a while longer.”
