Reesor Pioneer Cemetery, Markham, Ontario

Reesor Pioneer Cemetery is located on private farmland overlooking the Little Rouge River. It is marked by a masonry entrance with a black iron gate built in 2000 and the burial area itself is enclosed with a white concrete fence built in 1931. There is a cairn outside the burial area honouring the pioneer family of Christian Reesor and his wife Fanny Reiff, and each of their children are named on the stones at the base of the cairn. Most of the burials are connected to this family in some way.

The cairn plaque reads as follows:

This cairn is respectfully dedicated to the honour of Christian Reesor and Fanny Reiff and their extended family, who made the arduous six week journey from Pennsylvania.  They came in five Conestoga wagons and settled in Markham Township in the autumn of 1804.

Celebrating the ties that bind us to our past and to our future generations.
