===Kittle/Kittel Cemetery===
This page contains a list of internments in the Kittle Cemetery, as well as some photos taken in October, 2006 of the cemetery. We took photos of as many of the stones as we could. We didn't move any stone for a photo, so many stones didn't get photographed. Many were face down, and out of respect, we didn't touch them.

There are also some epitaphs. The list comes from the Stephentown Historical Society.

The Kittle Cemetery on Staples Road in Stephentown, was used from 1803 to 1920. There are 75 people buried there. The directions are: 50’ south of Route 43, on Staples Road, it is about 50’ to the right.

The information found here was taken from the cemetery records found on the Ren. Cty. Site, and was obtained through the hard work of Don and Clare Ratz. The epitaphs found here come from “Epitaphs In The Only Stephentown On Earth” by Elizabeth McClave.

Some of those buried in the Kittel/Kittle Cemetery are:

Kittle Cemetery

Span of death dates – 1803-1920
Approximate number of gravemarkers: 75
Years in service: 117
Last burial: 1920
Condition of markers: Sad
Comments: Needs a lot of care

The above information was given to the Stephentown Historical Society in 1985. My husband and I visited the Kittle Cemetery in October, 2006, and it is indeed sad. The cemetery is located next to a farm, and there are farm implements standing against trees in the cemetery. There didn’t seem to be any clear demarcation of the cemetery, separating it from the surrounding area. The grass was grown up and the stones were in terrible condition, many were not readable at all. Many were toppled, face down. We didn’t disturb any stones, so many didn’t get read or photographed.
