Old Trinity Church
yard Trust Fund.

Following the restoration of Oh
Trinity Church in 1919, n"TeS
ment was started to formulate some
plan for the perpetual care OF the
church yard surrounding it.
Several meetings were held by
those interested, in the spring Of
1915, and it was decided to make an
effort to raise a Trust Fund of one
thousand dollars, the interest from
which, it was thought, would be suf-
fcient to keep this halloWed spot in
suitable order.
This Trust was to be administered
by The Eastern Shore Trust Com
pany, as trustee; the funds of the
Trust TO be invested by them in safe
securities, and the income thereof to
be paid to Board of Trustees, to be
selected by the subscribers to the
Fund, who would personally see that
the money was carefully expended in
the care of the church yard. Sub
scriptions were to be paid in full
Sept. 1, 1916. or divided into several
installments, the deferred payments
bearing interest.
The following committee was Sc
lected at the last meeting, in June,
| 1915, to receive and solicit subscrip-
| tions:
Geo. w. Woolford, chairman.
w. Irving Mace.
Vivian Carroll.
| Miss Sallie w. Dorsey.
Miss Annie o. Jones.
Miss Maud Newbury.
Mrs. Lillian S. Chapel.
Miss Nellie G. Carroll.
The members of the committee
have been steadily at work since
then, and have endeavored to reach
all those who have relatives buried in
the church yard. This has been
difficult matter, involving much time
and labor, and it is to be deplored
that the committee has not received
the general cooperation and re-
sponse that should have been forth
coming. The Fund has not been
completed, and therefore the avail
able interest for the current year
will be small. 1t will be absolutely
necessary to put an enclosure around
the church yard this year, and it is
the desire of the committee to raise
money for this, in addition to COM
pleting the one thousand dollar fund.
They would therefore urge all
those who intend to subscribe to this
object, but have deferred doing so, to
send in their contributions at their
earliest convenience, to any member
of the committee, or to the Eastern
Shore Trust Company.
