The old one-room country school next to the cemetery is named Ruddick School, whilst the church connected with the cemetery is called Reddick Assembly of God. It is possible, but too improbable, that both a Ruddick and a Reddick family settled in the same area. The oldest Reddick grave (apart from 2 undated infant graves) is from 1941, whilst the oldest Ruddick grave is from 1869. It is likely that someone in the family changed their name, thus starting a separately named family tree. At the time of this waymark posting, there were 19 Ruddick graves and 7 Reddick graves.
According to FindAGrave, although over 10% of the graves were missing death dates, the earliest recorded grave is from 1854.
