Confederate veterans are buried in the cemetery adjoining Monocacy Chapel.
During the Civil War, Beallsville was known as Monocacy Chapel because of an Anglican “Chapel of Ease” that dated to the eighteenth century. Federal troops camped in the vicinity in 1861 and practically destroyed the building by stabling horses inside and using the pews for firewood. A local United Daughters of the Confederacy chapter erected a tablet in 1911 in the adjoining cemetery to honor Confederate veterans buried there. A new tablet replaced the original in 1975. The Daughters reconstructed the chapel in 1915.
