LEESBURG CEMETERY
Dwight Hays Townsend (1834-1906) 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.
(1992)
