In Bud Phillips book he describes Rutherford Family Cemetery like this: " A few sunken graves with no markers, under a thick growth of briars, brush, and weeds." The site is located a few yards north east of the stop light where Georgia Ave. and Williams Street join East State Street. It is just to the south of the abandoned concrete water tank. The old Rutherford family owned much of the land in that area. There are a few graves just to the southwest of the Rutherford plot, 2 or 3 which are marked. Mr. Phillips states that no date has been established for the beginning of the cemetery, but was likely in use long before the Civil War. A member of the Rutherford family now long dead recalled as a youngster had plowed corn in the eastern half of what is now East Hill Cemetery. This is basically all Mr. Phillips writes about this cemetery.
