Ellsworth Cemetery Fund

Ellsworth Cemetery was created on December 21, 1876, when six Black United States Army Veterans filed Maryland Articles of Incorporation to provide a burial place “for the Colored residents of Westminster, Maryland”. Reuben Walker, David Ireland, William Massey, William Adams, Lewis Dorsey and Samuel Bowens were the six founders. At the time, local laws prohibited the burying of African Americans within the city limits of Westminster. Therefore, this cemetery was located just outside the incorporated city limits of that time. Funds will be used to maintain the cemetery (mowing and landscaping), repair headstones, support research and provide community outreach. Members of the Advisory Committee are all unpaid volunteers.
