This burying grounds is situated .5 km west of the hamlet of Kingwood in Wellesley Twp. It should not be confused with the Reformed Mennonite Cemetery with its many gravestones which is immediately east of the Riser-Reschly plot. There are no markers left in the Riser-Reschly plot - only a Memorial Stone which was dedicated on September 13th, 2008.

The Riser-Reschly Burial Plot was established in April 1865. Joseph Reschley, a settler in Mornington Twp., Perth Co., purchased this plot from Christian Riser.
Two Riser infants along with a number of other members of settler families had already been buried there by 1865, but now the plot had a more official status as a cemetery for the Amish in the area.

The persons listed are believed to be buried in this Burial Plot.
