Exploring the Westminster Cemetery as a walking-running trail
Exploring the Westminster Cemetery as a walking-running
trail
November 15, 2013 by Kevin Dayhoff
Yesterday I took a look at running at the Westminster
Cemetery on North Church Street in Westminster.
In addition to the trails I discussed here on October 22,
2013, http://westminster.patch.com/groups/kevin-e-dayhoffs-blog/p/fall-is-great-for-running-trails-in-carroll-co?yPos=0;
I’ve been wondering how many other walking-running trail opportunities in the
Carroll County area I have overlooked.
I mean, I walked the blacktop trails at the cemetery
marveling at how many times I had visited the historic cemetery and really
never considered it as a walking - running trail.
I saw many other walkers and runners. I did not measure any
courses. That will be my next step. Although it is in the middle of
Westminster, it was amusingly - and amazingly quiet, bucolic and serene. I
grabbed a cup of coffee at Birdie's, http://www.birdiescoffee.com/,
and really enjoyed a moment or two to myself - in the middle of town. LOL

Kevin Dayhoff - Eagle Archive: Community's history comes to rest at Westminster Cemetery
Eagle Archive By Kevin E. Dayhoff, January 28, 2013 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0127-20130122,0,6575174.story
On Jan. 24, 1790, a gentleman in our community by the name
of Christian Yingling died. His name and his passing are significant, because
Yingling's is believed to be the first burial in the historic Westminster Cemetery on Church
Street.
It is accepted that the Westminster community started the
Westminster Cemetery by utilizing the 1.5-acre grounds surrounding the Union
Meeting House in 1790.
In 1864, "the company purchased twelve-and-a-half
surrounding acres from the estate of John Fisher (the first Burgess of the City
of Westminster) and the cemetery reached
its current dimensions," according "Westminster Cemetery, Carroll County Cemeteries, Vol. V, Part III,"
by the Carroll County Genealogical Society in 2004. The authoritative reference
book lists all the burials in the cemetery and includes a brief history.
By working together, our community will be able to maintain
this institution beyond another 300 years. If you would like to make a
contribution toward the restoration of the William Winchester grave site or for
the general maintenance and upkeep of the cemetery, contact the cemetery
company president, former Westminster Councilwoman Suzanne Albert, at suzannealbert@comcast.net, or call
her at 410-871-1180. You may also mail a check to: Westminster Cemetery
Company, P.O. Box 1251, Westminster, MD 21158-1251… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0127-20130122,0,6575174.story

Annual Westminster Memorial Day Parade Steeped in Tradition–Kevin Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/3rjb32d #rememberthefallen #usa
The annual Carroll Post 31 American Legion Westminster Memorial Day Parade steps off at 10 a.m. today.

[…]
In 1868, the focal point of the cemetery was the Union Meeting House of Westminster. Since the summer of 1891 the Memorial Day services have been held at a large urn, located on the knoll immediately in view as one enters the cemetery from Church Street…
