Hero is where the great proprietor is buried
One is shown the very spot in the pew, under
the floor of which lies all that is left on earth of
this old American patriot, by the old slave who
was present at the time, then but q mere lad.
A tablet at the side Of the altar conveys the in
telligence that Charles Carroll is there buried
born 1887; died 1882. Thus one sees that he
lived to the good old age OF ninety -fve-a quar-
ter Of a century beyond the allotted life of
man-in the full enjoyment Of his beautiful
home. Services are regularly held in the chapel
now as OF old and the country folk for miles
around attend. The slave quarters, overseer's
house and other necessary outbuildings form
veritable village about q furlong from the
homestead, and are as interesting in their way
as is the manor. As one gazes at the vener-
able pile and thinks of the many Joyous scenes
enacted within those walls kind OF affection
for the place and those gone before fills the
