Historical Sketch of the Old Chapel
Decoration Day Address
“A Gentleman of
Verona
”
The Cemetery Record
Printed by The Blue Ridge Press,
Berryville
,
Va.
"At a meeting of the vestry in 1790, it was 'Resolved, that a house of worship be erected at the Chapel spring,
and that Rawleigh [sic] Colston and Thomas Byrd, Esqs., do signify to Nathaniel Burwell, Esq., the grateful sense
of this vestry for his generosity, and request him to execute a deed for the two acres of land which he has offered
them for the purpose of building a church thereon, and for a burying ground. The
present stone building was
erected soon after this time, and was the cradle of the Episcopal Church in this section of country."
“Gentleman of
Verona
”
The included letter was written to The Clarke Courier on February 27, 1902; but, through some unexplained cause,
was not printed in the Courier until March 25, 1903. The authorship of the letter was not disclosed by the editor of
the Courier until the death of Mr.
Thomas M. Nelson, when it was thought perfectly proper that he should be given,
even at that late day, the honor which his effort deserved. While the letter does not bear directly upon the Old Chapel,
it contains the names of a number of men whose remains lie in the Cemetery there.”
The Cemetery Record (
50+ pages)
“The compiler of the record of those buried in the
Old
Chapel
Cemetery
has endeavored to make it as complete and
full as possible. Many difficulties had to be overcome in securing the requisite data, and often it has been found
impossible to obtain information, either because it was not known who could supply it, or because those who might
have furnished it have failed, even after being importuned to do so.
Any omissions, therefore, in the following still very incomplete pages, the reader may attribute to these causes. The
names of residences are placed in quotation marks, so that they may easily be distinguished from the names of
counties, towns, etc. The two names, " The Grove " and " Carter's Grove,"
James
City
County
, refer to the same place.
The designation of
Clarke
County
has been applied to all that part of
Frederick
County
which now constitutes the
County
of
Clarke
, although the formation of this County did not occur until 1837.”
