In 1831, Henry Burkitt, founder and namesake of the village of Burkittsville, deeded land to the…read moreEvangelical Reformed and Evangelical Lutheran Churches for their shared use. Already standing at this time on the south end of the lot was the Union Church, began in 1829 to be shared by the Reformed and Lutheran congregations. The northern end of the land was used for a burial ground, shared by the two congregations and thus known as Union Cemetery. Among the first interments in the cemetery was John Willard (1777-1831), an early leader in the Reformed congregation who was killed in an accident while cutting timbers to build the Union Church. Among the many figures from Burkittsville's history who are interred in the cemetery are former member and Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates Hon. Daniel S. Biser (1801-1877); industrialists Manassas J. Grove (1824-1907) and John D. Ahalt (1848-1916); and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad surgeon and Mayor of the City of Brunswick Dr. Arlington G. Horine (1862-1956). During the Civil War, the cemetery was used for temporary burials of both U.S. and Confederate soldiers who were casualties of the Battles of South Mountain and Antietam. Letters written home to families of these soldiers who died in the many field hospitals established throughout the town often referenced their burial in the village's graveyard. In 1867, most of the U.S. soldiers were exhumed and reinterred at the newly-established Antietam National Cemetery. A few years later, the Confederate soldiers were also exhumed and reinterred at Washington Confederate Cemetery, established within the City of Hagerstown's Rose Hill Cemetery. The cemetery is clearly in excellent condition and is well maintained. It is easy for walking and appreciating the headstones and gravestones of those who are laid to rest here.

ProBins has been awesome to work with. I spoke with Paul who quickly answered my questions and was…read moreable to get a dumpster to us the weekend we asked for. He even surprised us and asked if we would like it a day earlier, free of charge. I have been dreading our clean-out for moving and with all the stories I read about other dumpster rental places I was worried that our driveway would pay for it. The driver placed it right next to my car, in the driveway, on wood blocks, and nothing was damaged. I have no idea how he got it in such a tight spot. I will definitely be contacting them again to finish our clean-out. Thanks, Paul!!
