Brewer  Hill Cemetery 

I'm William Diggs, past Cemetery Sexton of the People's Cemetery of Anne Arundel County. Prior to becoming the caretaker of this cemetery there were other people who maintained the cemetery. Many of them were former slaves who could not read or write. However, they knew exactly where everyone was buried. There are slaves,businessmen and women interred in this cemetery that I once maintained. Military men and women who served in the wars that have claimed many lives. There are preachers and teachers, Doctors, Lawyers and everyday people who helped to build the african-american churches,schools and communites of which my ancestors lived in. People from within Maryland and abroad the United States are interred in this cemetery and that includes the unknown people who, were identified as unknown and there are other people from other ethnic bacgrounds who's remains are resting in this cemetery the was once maintained by me. Some may have a headstone,footstone or symbolic figure that marks the spot  where they lie in state. Many do not have markers to identify  the spot of where they are interred. With your help we can hopefully identify where they are. Consider joining the Brewer Hill Association,Inc. and make a difference with the preservation of my cemetery.
