Located in southeastern Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania on or
near the former Seth E. and Susanna Howland farm on the east side of an old road
(see 1875 atlas where S. E. Howland residence was) bordered by a stone wall. The
cemetery can be reached by using a driveway on the highest point of Kennedy Road
and taking the driveway west, past and behind the residence (used for hunting
camp) to the old road and then go about 100 yards south on the old road and down
the hill along the stone wall. There are four large markers of native stone set
in the ground bearing no inscriptions and some smaller native markers which may
indicate burials or footmarkers. Markers copied November 1998 by J. Kelsey Jones
and photographed by Joyce M. Tice.
