Rockville Union Cemetery
Rockville Cemetery was established in 1738 by the Anglican Prince George's Parish. It is the oldest burying ground in Rockville, Maryland and is located at 1350 Baltimore Road, adjacent to the Rockville Civic Center. Ownership changed in 1880 to the Rockville Cemetery Association. The cemetery occupies something over 24 acres in two sections, an older, western section of 7.7 acres and a newer, eastern section of almost 16.9 acres.
Those buried there include Upton Beall and E.B. Prettyman, Walter Johnson, Judge and Mrs. Richard Johns Bowie, and the Pumphrey family. The author F. Scott Fitzgerald was buried there upon his death in 1940 but his remains and those of his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were moved to Saint Mary's Cemetery, also in Rockville, in 1975. The oldest remaining stone marker in Rockville Cemetery is that of John Harding.
