About
Glendale Cemetery is a small country burial ground in Garrett County, in the countryside between McHenry and Swanton. It is recorded in the U.S. Geological Survey's place-names index and indexed on Find a Grave and BillionGraves, which makes it a useful stop for families and anyone tracing local roots. Find a Grave also records it as Brandt Cemetery and lists about 110 memorials, most of them photographed.
Where It Sits
Federal mapping places the cemetery about four miles southeast of McHenry and about four miles northwest of Swanton, on the McHenry topographic map. Several other old family and community burial grounds lie within a few miles, including Deep Creek Cemetery to the west and North Glade and Rhodes cemeteries to the east, so researchers often visit more than one in a single trip.
Visiting and Research
There is no published street address or caretaker contact, so check the Find a Grave page for directions and burial records before you go. Please treat the grounds and markers with care when you visit.
