- Following is a list of known burials in the Wood
Cemetery in Sullivan Township. The cemetery has also incorrectly been called
Rutland Hill Cemetery, Briar Hill Cemetery, Holly Hill Cemetery, but the
land was deeded to the community by Seth Wood and Elizabeth Wilson and most
burials there are related in some way or part of the Wood Family, so that
name is more appropriate. It was used from the 1830s until the 1920s with
the majority of burials in the 1860s through 1880s. There are certainly
additional graves there with no markers. Its present state is pretty poor,
but we are in the process of restoring it. We have just cut the trees in the
Autumn of 1995 and cleared out brush in the Autumn of 1996. Many of the
tombstones were toppled by vandals but those were uprighted in Summer 1997.
The land was originally given to the community for a graveyard by Seth WhitlockWOOD and his wife Elizabeth WILSON who had migrated from Connecticut as early settlers in 1823. The following list of 154 burials lists all by name at Birth, birth date, death date, age at death and name at death. Women whose birth names are not known are given the filler surname of UNKNOWN with the married name in parentheses. Highlighted names link to a biography. An asterisk following the name is my signal that I do not know the person's parents' names.
I have photos of many of the people buried here as part of my own family photos or from what I have collected from the neighborhood or from other descendants of these people. It is my goal to eventually include all of them here as links to this page. Obituaries will also be present as far as I have them.
