Description	:	Wesley Chapel Cemetery served as the burial ground of many of rural Adams County, Colorado, pioneers from approximately 1891 through 1939. The cemetery originally was associated with a church, the Wesley Chapel, which occupied the now-vacant space between W. 120th Ave. and the graves to the north, from approximately 1891 to 1934. The church has been gone for decades; however, the cemetery has remained in place and persevered. Wesley Chapel Cemetery was first dedicated as a family graveyard in October 1891 with the death of 37-year-old Francis Moxley, who was buried on the Moxley farm in Arapahoe County (now Adams County)....

The cemetery originally was associated with a church, the Wesley Chapel, which occupied the now-vacant space between W. 120th Ave. and the graves to the north, from approximately 1891 to 1934. The church has been gone for decades; however, the cemetery has remained in place and persevered. Wesley Chapel Cemetery was first dedicated as a family graveyard in October 1891 with the death of 37-year-old Francis Moxley, who was buried on the Moxley farm in Arapahoe County (now Adams County). The Moxley family cemetery was later dedicated as a cemetery for the larger community. The wood frame Morey Chapel (later renamed Wesley Chapel) was constructed just south of the cemetery around 1891-1892 and became a community gathering place for the surrounding region. Two Union Civil War veterans (Ambrose Langston and Theodore Hutchinson) are buried in the cemetery. The Wesley Chapel Cemetery Association, composed of surviving family members, continued to own and maintain the site throughout the remainder of the 1900s. In the final decades of the 20th century, the area surrounding Wesley Chapel Cemetery was incorporated into the City of Westminster. To ensure future maintenance and that the burial ground remain historic and undeveloped, the Cemetery Association donated the site to the City of Westminster in 2001.
