Rutherford General Cemetery is an operational cemetery located on the A43, New England Highway, just north of Maitland NSW. It is reasonably close to the Campbell's Hill Cemetery and is well maintained and administered by the Maitland City Council, who has an online Burial Register providing a map and grave locations, if they are known.
The first interment was in 1874 and there have been over 700 burials since then. This cemetery is correctly called the Rutherford Methodist Cemetery and the only interments are Methodist based. Early local newspapers refer to it by its correct name. The Council website now refers to it as simply 'Rutherford Cemetery'.
There are many unmarked graves, and some with no headstones or damaged headstones. Any interments referred to as ‘Freeground' are unlikely to be found. Only one headstone exists in this area.
As at December 2019, all headstones have been photographed.
