Spring Hill Cemetery (Easton, Maryland)

The land was purchased in 1802 by subscription. In 1827, a plot of ground was given by Dr. Ennalls Martin to the Christ Church for use as a cemetery.[2][5] The first person to be buried was Martin's son, Bartholomew Ennalls Martin.[5]

In 1847, a lot near the Christ Church's lot was purchased by the Methodist Church for its burying ground.[2] By 1877, both churches had expanded the burial ground to the north end of Hanson Street and more acres were purchased from Colonel Samuel Hambleton. A fence was made to enclose the parcel and it was given the name Spring Hill.[2]

A Gatekeeper's Lodge was at the west side of the main entrance gate. It was a small shingle-covered Victorian Gothic Cottage standing at one and a half stories. It was probably built around 1875 and destroyed around 1970.[2][6]

During the presidential campaign of 1840, a large Whig Party meeting was held at the Spring Hill Cemetery. The meeting boasted between 15,000 and 20,000 people.[2]
