 This cemetery is located in the woods off Old Augusta Road north east of 
 Springfield near a small community known as Silver Hill.  There is a fairly
 new homemade sign that states that this is Reiser Cemetery but some local 
 people say it is known as Smith Cemetery. It is on private property and is 
 only accessible by four wheel all terrain vehicles.

There is evidence (wooden decayed markers) that are still visible of at least
12 graves as well as 8-10 areas that are clearly old graves. These four 
tombstones are the only ones remaining in this cemetery. All four headstones
and footstones are of white marble.
