Reynolds Cemetery
"The fence around a cemetery is foolish, for those inside can't get out and those outside don't want to get in."
~ Arthur Brisbane


Location: On the north side of Winchester Road on the south bank of St. Mary's River about two miles northwest of Decatur in Root Township, Adams Co, IN. There is a section located to the south of the drive before the main part of the cemetery.
Some people believe this was a "Potter's Field" section for extremely poor people, but there is no proof of this. Most of the burials in this section are members of the Williams family.

Information from obituaries, tombstone pictures, obit abstracts and county histories is included.
Bold names have a biography included in the obit or document.
