Rev. Theodore P. Barber, of the
P. E. Church, was a native of YER
mont, but spent the greater part of
his life in Dorchester county, and
was greatly loved and revered by
the public at large. For a period
of forty-three years he served Chop
tank Parish as rector, his ministry
being a most happy and profitable
one.
The venerable and beloved Rev.
William Wallace Greene has spent
a long life of usefulness in our
midst, and now can look forward,
hopefully, to the not distant day
when he shall receive the plaudit
of his Lord, "Well done, good and
faithful servant
Many names are recorded in his
tory of sons of Dorchester who
spent years in military service and
who took active and important part
and received well-earned promotion
in the army. 1t would be impossi
bic, in a short sketch, to mention
tho nomac of fhoca coJdiar barooc
Among them were such men as Gen.
Henry Hooper, Col. Thomas Wool
ford and Commander Grason, with
scores of others who made heroic
sacrifices In the line OF duty during
the war of the Revolution; and Col.
Clement Sulivane, Capt. John Camp
Frank H. Jones, J. Mckinney White
and others, who served with dis
tinction in the Civil War. Among
those who have achieved distinction
in the Navy, mention must be made
of Gen. VIM. S. Muse, of the U. S.
Marine Corps, who entered the Navy

commissioned Lieutenant in 1864.
He graduated at the Artillery School
at FIT. Monroe, Va, in 1880, and
was that year promoted Captain. He
served as Fleet Marine officer of
the North Atlantic squadron and af-
forwards of the Pacific squadron.
He was promoted Major in 1898,
Lieutenant Colonel In 1899, Colonel
in 1900, and General in 1908. These
rapid promotions may well be at
tributed to the ability and fidelity
with which he discharged his re-
sponsible duties.
NJ. Worthington Goldsborough en-
tered the service in 1862 as As
sistant Paymaster, was promoted to
Paymaster in 1866 and Pay Inspec-
tor in 1891. He retired from active
service in 1896, after having prov
ed himself faithful to every trust,
and well deserves the high esteem
in which he is held.
DR.. George E. H. Harmon, a
graduate of the Medical Department
of the University of Maryland, en-
tered the service as Assistant Sur
geon in 1S73,and in 1910 was made
Medical Director, with the rank of
Captain. DR.. Harmon had active
duty in almost every part of the
world, and was highly regarded both
socially and professionally. He was
in command of the Naval Hospital
at Yokohama, Japan, from 1900 to
1902; of the Naval Hospital at
New York from 1905 to 1908, and
at Washington, D. c., from 1908 to
1910. He had high sense of duty,
which, combined with marked execu-
tive qualities, rendered his services
in command of hospital particu-
larly valuable.
Other names which have a promi-
nent place in the annals of local
history are Hon. Charles Fitz-Hugh
Goldsborough, son of Gov. Charles
Goldsborough, who filled many po-
sitions of honor and responsibility,
and who served for many years as
Judge of the Circuit Court of the
First Judicial District; DR.. VIM. R.
Hayward, for many years Commits
sioner of the Land Office of Mary
land; w. Wilson Byrn, the projec-
tor and builder of the Dor. and Del.
R. R.; Hon. Daniel M. Henry, who
represented Dorchester county In
both branches of the State Legisla-
ture, and who served as member
of the House of Representatives of
the United States for two terms
all these, and many others, were
men whom our citizens delight to
honor, and whose lives and deeds
will be perpetuated through gene
rations yet to come; some of the
few, "the immortal names, that
were not born to die"
