    Prince George's Chapel

    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."

    I attended a funeral for a friend's dad. The staff members were professional and nice. They seemed…read moregenuine and not "fake" with empathy that doesn't work well when funeral homes don't have staff that "gets" it. The employees were almost invisible. They did a great job of being nearby, but not intrusive. We were given tags for the rear view mirror since we were also visiting the cemetery. Those driving behind the hearse were instructed to put on blinkers. We were directed to park separately, as soon as we arrived at the funeral home. It made the funeral procession organized and efficient when it was time to leave. My friend worked with the funeral home on a nice photo collage that kept playing during visitation and the funeral. There were approximately 175 pictures and the name of the person being celebrated. Having tissues and breath mints was a nice touch. I hope no one needs to use this business but if you do, you will be taken care of.

    I wanted to take a moment to share a review for Holloway Pet Cremation Services in Salisbury…read more Unfortunately our cat Cali passed away last week. Some will not understand this but she was like a child to us and we were devastated. Holloway understood and treated us and her with a level of respect and professionalism that blew us away. From taking my phone call at 630am (they have a 24 hour line) to having her ready and given back to me with so much care and compassion, I cannot recommend them enough if you have a need for their services.
