     Four miles from Rockville is what was once known as the "Willow Tree" graveyard.  The tree that formerly stood there and gave it its name, has long since disappeared.  This graveyard is on the west side of Rock creek, amidst briars and thorns that make it a difficult task to copy the inscriptions.  The following have been obtained for us, through the kindness of a gentleman living in the neighborhood:
