CARROLL CHAPEL METHODIST CEMETERY, PRINCE GEORGE'S CO., MD African-American Cemetery 1811 Mitchellville Road Bowie, MD This file is part of the MD Tombstone Transcription Project: http://www.usgwtombstones.org/maryland/maryland.html ********************************************* http://usgwarchives.org/md/mdfiles.htm http://www.usgwarchives.org/copyright.htm ********************************************* Contributed to The USGenWeb Tombstone Transcription Project & USGenWeb Archives by: Alice Warner (EmbryProject@gmail.com) Submitted: July 2008 Photo transcription: http://usgwarchives.net/md/princegeorge/tsimages/carrollchapel/cchapel.html To contribute additional information and/or photographs, please contact MD Tombstone Transcription Project at mdcemmy@yahoo.com Contributor Notes: According to Prince George’s County MDGenweb page, this should be the "Carroll Chapel Methodist Cemetery" yet it is behind the church currently called the Bethel Apostolic Church of Yeshua Messiah. I would not have seen the cemetery at all, except that I parked in the small gravel parking spot of the church (would only fit 2 or 3 cars) to go to the Jones Memorial Gardens Cemetery across the street, and saw the stones. I have taken photos of all the legible stones. There were also some cinder blocks that did not appear to hold any sort of inscription. Location/Directions: If you are on Mitchellville Rd heading towards 301 it is literally the last thing on the left that it is possible to turn into before running into 301. There is a sign for "Adams Fruit Market" and the Church sign. Beyond that there is no marking, the cemetery is across a field from the parking spaces. No fencing or posted barriers. I have been told that this cemetery as well as the Jones Memorial Gardens are African American cemeteries.
