Description

The community's history comes to rest at Westminster Cemetery,once the site of the brick Union Meeting House (ca. 1808-1891). The authors bring to life the stories of those buried here as well as the many personalities connected to the once- venerated meetinghouse that served as both a town assembly hall and a place of worship. Luminaries in America's early Methodist Movement met here, and Episcopalians and Lutherans also organized congregations here. The book chronicles the involvement of Baptist, Presbyterian, and Reformed groups. When Carroll County formed in 1837 the court met in the building until a courthouse was built. Abandoned by the mid-1850s the building was used as a field hospital following the local skirmish known as Corbit's Charge and again after the Battle of Gettysburg. Every year since 1868 the cemetery has been the location of an annual Memorial Day service, one of the oldest such observances in the nation. The cemetery's earliest interment dates back to 1790, and the second section of the book presents a tour of the cemetery with some 50 biographical sketches of people from all walks of life buried here.
