Reese Family Cemetery
History
4
A small cemetery served the Reece family in the 19th century. Because cattle roamed freely in the area for years, the tombstones and other grave markings were broken. In 1977, family members recorded the readable tombstones. Jacob Reece (1783-1873) and his wife Rebecca Reece (1787-1865) were married around 1801 and had nine children, four of whom are known to be buried in the cemetery: David Reece (1837-1858), Matilda Chapman (1811-1858), Leaner Chapman (1816-1860), and Elizabeth Reece (1818-1880). Another family member, Soloman Chapman (1836-1860), also has a marker there. Robert Martin (1815-1883) and his wife Matilda Caroline Reece Martin (1820-?) are known to be buried at the site, but no stones were ever found.
