vices the pilgrims lunched in the
graveyard and inspected the old
church, adminng the quaintness of
the closed pews, which were in vogue
years ago and then wandered among
the graves reading the inscriptions on
the weatherwOrn stones. Later in the
afternoon rain set in and made the
crowd scatter. The speakers were
DR.. Joseph H. Odell, now director of
the Service Citizens of Delaware, who
gave the morning talk, and Henry
Ridgely, Esq, of Dover a member of
the Kent county bar, who spoke in the
afternoon. Rev. John Townsley, of
