Union Cemetery is large and is in the "lawn" format as opposed to the "park" format. Flat, square and with a variety of different headstones and markers. There are some 4000 interred here. George Short Williams (1877-1961) represented Delaware in the US House of Representatives from 1939 to 1941. He also served as Delaware State Treasurer from 1929 to 1933. Wilbur Louis Adams (1884-1937) was also a Congress, service 1933-1935. He was also Postmaster of Georgetown from 1937 until his death. Albert Fawcett Polk (1869-1955) served in Congress from 1916-1919. After his term, he resumed the practice of law, was appointed United States Commissioner for the District of Delaware in 1929 and held the position until his retirement in 1951. The cemetery is in excellent condition and is quite well maintained. I saw no litter and no broken markers. The lanes are easily navigable and smooth for walking.

Saint George's Chapel was founded in 1719 and rebuilt after a fire in 1792. It has since been…read moreupdated and the restored to its original colonial interior. The cemetery caught my eye and then the historical marker. There is much to see here and many extremely old headstones. Many of the stones have aged to the point they are illegible but symbols and such are still detectable. And while I did want to take a rubbing, I just took pictures including the largest one of Revolutionary War leader John Dagworthy.. The marker reads, "Before the settlement of the boundary dispute between Delaware and Maryland, this area was considered to lie in Maryland. On July 5, 1755, responding to the request of members of the Church of England residing in the upper portion of Worcester Parish, the Maryland Assembly enacted legislation authorizing the purchase of land and construction of a "Chapel of Ease" to serve their spiritual needs. A two acre tract at this location was then purchased from Walter Evans. On June 30, 1757, the newly-completed chapel was formally received from the builders by the vestry of Worcester Parish. It was named to honor the English prince who would become King George III." "By 1850 the condition of the chapel had deteriorated, and services were discontinued. Efforts to restore the church to active use were unsuccessful. Annual services were held here for a time, but for many years the building was maintained solely as a historic site by the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware. In 1928 the Sussex County Laymen's League funded the complete restoration of the old church, and a rededication service was held here on June 30, 1929." "At the urging of numerous persons concerned about the preservation of the structure, the State of Delaware received ownership of the property in 1967. Major renovations were subsequently undertaken with funding provided by the State and National Park Service. Prince George's Chapel was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 24, 1971. Of particular note is the grave of General John Dagworthy, an officer in the French & Indian and Revolutionary wars who was an early and ardent supporter of the church, and for whom this community is named."
