Located in Dundee Township about 100 yards east of Ridge Road and north of the McCord Road junction, the Smith-Moody Cemetery is now overgrown and most of the tombstones are no longer visible. The cemetery served many of the families in the southeastern portion of Dundee.
Known as Smith Cemetery, the Smith-Moody Cemetery, and also Miller Cemetery, the different names come from early settlers in the immediate vicinity. Smith likely comes from Malcolm Smith, one of the first Elders of Dundee Presbyterian Church and whose home was used for the first church service preformed in Dundee by Rev. Duncan Moody. The name Moody comes from Rev. Duncan Moody house was on the ridge across the road and to the southwest. The Miller name likely comes from Samuel Millar (Miller) who is buried here along with his wife, Mary Arnold, and some of their descendants. 
Since most of the stones are no longer visible, very few photographs of grave markers can be provided. The list of burials that follows has been assembled from the Burial List of Zion Church, Dundee, & a list of grave markers prepared by Gerry Rogers in the 1970's. There are a few link to photographs of the gravemarkers.
