Marker : 
Dwight Hays Townsend (1834-1905) donated land for this 
cemetery about 1870. The graves of two children which were 
relocated here from the Leesburg Schoolyard are thought to be 
the earliest burials on the site. The oldest marked grave is that 
of Tapley Wylie (1836-1870). This cemetery is the primary burial 
ground for the rural community of Leesburg. Those interred here 
include pioneer settlers, community leaders, a large number of 
infants and children, and veterans of the Civil War, World Wars I 
and II, Korea, and Vietnam.
