Christ Episcopal Church

NJ n the beginning of the last century
there was built about three miles
west of what IS now the town of
Milford a chapel where worship was
maintained according ITO the rites of the
church of England. The exact site is no
longer known, but services were held there
as early as 1904, when the Rev. Thomas
Crawford stationed at Dover was sent by
the English Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel in Foreign Ports"
In 17iO a chapel was built near this spot
since known as Church Hill. Ii was a
small frame structure thirty-siN feet long
by thirty feet wide. To the north and
nearly in front Of the site lies an extensive
savannah, hence the place OF worship be-
came popularity known as the Savannah
Church. although it was officially desig-
mated as Christ Church, Mispinion.
In 17i5 the Rev. Arthur Ussher, station
ed at Dover. also oficiated at this point.
He was succeeded by the Rev. Hugh Neil.

countercd, but Thorne and Oliver were no

the bricks were made. the parson paying

his own lands the lumber required ant

score of years the unfinished structurl
stood as a reminder OF the zeal and sacri

CHARGES MONEY WAS
RECEIVED BY Il
Homestead Receiver Seeks to Re-
cover from the Former Sec
rotary.

Suit has begun by the Marion Trust Com
pany, receiver of the insolvent Homestead
Loan and Investment Association, against
Mary l.. Barr, former secretary of the as
ISOLATION, to recover 5000 which the plain
tiff claims was f~raudulently received by the
ex-secretary.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Barr was the
owner of a lot in his city the value of
which was placed at $3.50. and on Sept. 10
Mrs. Barr executed a mortgage on the
property to secure a note for $3.50 which
was payable to Philipina Klee. On the
same day, it is alleged, Mrs. Barr agreed
to sell the property to the association for
$1,000. of which Mrs. Barr was to receive
81. ESQ and the association assuming pay
ment of the mortgage.
1t is also alleged that Mrs. Barr sold an
other lot to Mary l.. Johnson for $4,000 and
Mrs. Johnson assumed a $1,000 mortgage
debt on the property. Mrs. Johnson later
conveyed the property to the Homestead
Loan and Investment Association for $4,000,
the association paying over 5000 to Mrs.
Johnson and assuming the mortgage. 1t
is charged hat the sale OF this property
was a fraud upon the association, as the
property was worth but 81, 400.
The receiver asks judgment for $1,000 and
also asked for a writ of attachment to is
sue against the property of Mrs. Barr, as it
is alleged that she is about to remove her
property out of the State.
