This site was originally established as a Brown Family cemetery. HERBERT BROWN deeded two acres of land to the Brown's Chapel Cemetery Association on June 30, 1930 (Db R10:526). A 75' x 75' plot enclosed by an iron fence is reserved for the descendants of AUGUSTUS BROWN and his wife. The reserved area is on the hilltop with an enormous holly tree growing in the center. A large granite monument that reads "BROWN" on one side and"WHEELER" on the other is located just beneath the holly. Markers 1 thru 6 below are located outside the fence, while the rest are inside. All of the markers are of grey granite and recent design. A 1936 WPA inventory of this site called it the "ANNA DUNHAM GRAVEYARD" and reported only one gravestone, that of ANNA DUNHAM. The rest of the stones were apparently placed after this date, thus explaining their contemporary design. The cemetery is easily recognized by the arched stone wall that fronts on Rte. 7.
