Ruben Walker, David Ireland, William Massey, William Adams, Nelson Edwards, Lewis Dorsey and Samuel Bowen were the incorporators and original trustees. The land for Ellsworth Cemetery was sold to the corporation by the Estate of Elias Yingling for the sum of one dollar on June 11, 1894.
Through the years, Ellsworth Cemetery has been the final resting place of many African Americans of Westminster families. Black residents of the Carroll County Alms House and residents of today's Westminster Rescue Mission of all races are buried there. Strangers' Row accepts those who die Carroll County without known family.
