Only 2 stones remain on the old Rector Homestead on Pipestone Road. Of those interred in Rector Cemetery, 2 were moved to Crystal Springs Cemetery when the homestead was sold.
From “Sodus Township Bicentennial 1776-1976”:
“In the early days, people established cemeteries where they felt the need was. For instance, a cemetery was established right across from where Edith Bittner now lives and has been taken out and most remains were moved to cemeteries that were highly organized. There is also a gravestone located near Sodus School. The headstone bears the name “Cassiday” on it with the following inscription: “In memory of Mary A. Cassiday – Wife of W. Batson – 1837-1894.” Mary was the daughter of Robert Cassiday of Ohio and Sabrina Cassiday of New York. This family was related to the Rector Family.”
