10416 Leesburg Pike,
Great Falls, Va.
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. The cemetery is clean
and well maintained.
