REYNOLDS CEMETERY at VanNess Corners

RUTLAND TOWNSHIP, TIOGA COUNTY, PA.

Located in south central Rutland township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania near the Sullivan township line in the northwest corner of VanNess Hill crossroads. The oldest marker with an inscription is dated 1837 for Almeda Reynolds. Markers copied August 1982 by J. Kelsey Jones.
 Submitted by and printed with permission of J. Kelsey Jones November 1997
This cemetery is in abominable condition at this time (October 2001) Tombstones are toppled, briars and other brush have taken over. Many tombstones are buried and broken. Very poor condition. This is located at the crossroads north of  Tears Corners (Sullivan Township) in the most southern part of Rutland Township.
May 2007- The Doxtaders have cleaned up the cemetery. Millie Doxtader note : Mike and Walter Sherman set up the stones, the township brought in some dirt and Mike has been filling in the “sunken” parts of the cemetery with the use of Dean McKay tractor. It really looks like a cemetery now and it is almost done. Maybe we may even have some family members stop,which would be great.
 THANKS to those who did  this. Terrific!!!  Mike and Walter Sherman are Reynolds - Smith descendants. Millie and Mike Doxtader are not related to anyone in the cemetery so they deserve special credit for taking responsiblity for this little burial ground next to their house. See updated photos at bottom of page.
