The Wilmington morning star., 1940-10-13
BY Gladys Best Trip

Graveyards may be spooky p1ac-
es to some people, but they can
be interesting as well, as shown
by Elizabeth Francenia McKoy in
her recent booklet on the inscrip-
tons of tombstones in historic st.
James graveyard at Third and
Market streets, which she has pre-
scented to the public library.
Copying faint inscriptions from
the time-worn markers was no
easy job, but Miss McKoy patient
ly stuck to her task until a very in
teresting document In the history
of Wilmington has resulted.
Some of the eptitaphs are scarce
ly believable, such as the marker
of Mary A. Baker, who died 1929,
age 291 years, and that of James
Corran, Esq, of Petersburg, Va,
who died here when 321 years old.
Probably some irreverant prank
ster added the. third numbers in
both cases. Or perhaps the lat
ter's age may be attributed to the
concluding lines on the inscription
which read with a benevolent
heart and and uncommon sense
for humour, his company vas ear
nestly solicited by all his acquain-
tances."
The comical slant comes out of
a truly serious epitaph which reads
Sacred to the memory of Mrs.
Hannah Cooke, many years an in
habitant of the Cape Fear, died
February 10, 1918, age 81 years,
greatly regretted by all who knew
Then there is the famous verse
from Alexander Pope's Essay on
Man. which appears slightly
changed on the tombstone of Cor
nelius Harnett, who died in 1881,
as "Slave to no sect he took no
private road, but looked through
nature up to natures God" The
same verse in varied form is found
on two other tombstones.
VI a concerted youth was writ
ten: william Hunt, 10 years, died
June 7, 1851.
How loved, how valued o C e,
avails thee not,
To whom related or by whom
A lump of dust alone remains of
thee,
It's all thou art and all the proud
shall be-"
The inscriptions are all typical
of the period they represented. On
broken brown stone can be read
the words probably written during
religious arguments: Aged
81, endearments of friends, the ex-
cellence of virtue, and the influ-
ence of rational religion"

Miss McKoy Complies Booklet
On St. James Church Graveyard

| Oddities in names r also pres
ent. Edward E. Unthank died No
bember 16, 1921, at the age Of five
yards. Miss Polly is stiffly used
to designate the daughter of Will
ham and Mary Claypoo1e, who
died at the age of two in 1888.
Winslow Vikings, WHO died in
1887, probably handed his name
down to the modern variations OF
Wilkin, Wilkins and vikings.
In the graveyard is a marker
erected by the North Carolina So
ciety of Colonial Danes of Amer
lea in 1929 to mark the nearby
grave of Thomas Godfrey, who
was born in Philadelphia and died
in this city in 1853. He wrote the
Prince of Parthia," the first dra-
ma written by an American and
produced upon the professional
stage of the colonies.
Probably complimentary was
meant IAN industrious and enter
prising merchant, a friend, warm,
tried, and disinterested" for Will
liam Dougall, citizen of Whining
ton and native of Paisley, Scot
land, who died in 1887.
An interesting story is told by
Miss Anna Savage concerning the
tombstone of Carolina Jane Love,
80 years old, who died in 1914. Her
great aunt's husband, ] D.
Love, asked his mother why his
father always stopped at st. James
graveyard and tipped his hat. His
mother explained that Loves first
wife was buried there.
Odd shapes of tombstones also
occur which Miss McKoy has
sketched in her book. For instance,
a tall monument to Mary Ann
Robertson, consort of John Kirk
patrick, of Ireland, has a tapering
shaft rising from a square base,
on each side of which is an eye
ball. On the five-foot tall marker
for Joseph R. Gautier, who died
in 1916, are deeply carved folds
of cloth draped over an urn.
But St. James graveyard is not
without it's beautiful sentimental
verses. Over the grave of Robert
Edens who died October 81, 184?,
is found
"Friend after friend departs,
Who hath not lost a friend
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end,
We're this frail world u final
rest
Living or dying none were blest."
Then as a final word of warning
to a bothered world reads Mary
Smiths tombstone, erected in 1895
with when you are musing over
u sacred clay, Think what you
are to be another day" 2

GUARD TO MOVE
into BARRACKS
Company l, Al Fl. Jackson
Welcomes Change From
Dusty Tents

FORT JACKSON, S. c., Oct. L.
On Monday, October IA, or snort
ly thereafter, Company l., l2Otn
Infantry, composed of 119 Whining
ton men and officers, will move
from its present tent quarters mto
more comfortable and more
healthful barracks.
The third battalion, of which the
Wilmington unit is a part, will be
given priority in moving into the
new quarters, it has been an
nounced. This was granted because
the three companies in the third
battalion are now encamped IN
tents set directly upon the groule
Due to the dryness of the eli
mate during the past several
weeks, the dust from the mcov-
cred floors has caused much dis
comfort among the men.
So rapidly and so shortly after
Presidential order did the m e n
move into camp it was impossible
for sufficient housing facilities to
be erected in time to provide for
the men.
Company A, 105th Medical Regi-
ment, being OF much smaller
strength, was quartered in bar
racks Immediately after its arrival
here.
The new quarters will consist of
small wood-and-canvas houses con,
structed in orderly rows, forming
two lines of quarters with the COM
pany street in the center. They
will be individually heated, cleo
trically lighted, and will be de-
for the comfort and health
of the occupants.

PEACH BLOSSOMS, RETARDED
BY FROST TO BLOOM Sunday

Kent and Sussex Counties are
expected to put on a pink mantle
Sunday for the beginning of Della
show. The buds in the lower sec
ton of the state, already starting
to open, will be fully opened by
Sunday if the present warm
weather continues. Leonard Soper,
director of the Bureau of Markets
of the State Board of Agriculture,
said the blossoms are deeper
shade of pink this year than in
previous years and will rival
Washington's annual cherry bios
som show. Thousands of motor
lists were abroad Sunday to view
the peach blossoms in Sussex
County. Orchards in the lower
county were fully so per cent in
blossom. They will be in full flow
er later this week when orchards
in Kent County will be opening for
their annual show, which Mr.. Sop
er estimates will be complete next
weekend. Orchardists in the

exemplified in the lives of their
forebears, Just Plain Folks"

dried the buds and prevented ex-
tensive damage from the frosts
which prevailed for full week. A
suggested automobile tour to view
the orchards is to start at Dover
and follow u. S. Route 13 to near
Laurel; turn left on Route % to
Georgetown; follow Route 18 to
the Nassau section; turn right TO
Route IA to the Midway section;
turn right on Route "a to Mills
boro, and back to Dover again on
Route lib. Mr.. Soper pointed out
that a leisurely drive over the sec
ondary roads in any of the fruit
sections will reveal large orchards
that cannot be seen from the main
Because of the cold
weather the early variety apple
trees will not be in bloom in Kent
and Sussex County for another
two or three weeks, Mr.. Soper
said These blossoms, white in
color, are not as extensive as the
peach but attract number of mo-
torists every year.

CONTESTS FOR
TRAP SHOOTING
Clayton Gun Club to Hold
Contests Saturday With
Fred TOmIin as Feature
INSTALL FLOOD LIGHTS

The Clayton Gun Club, Clayton,
will hold a series of Trap Shooting
Contests Saturday afternoon, May
4th, at their shooting field, located
on Clayton-Smyrna Boulevard. The
shooters participating in the var
ious events, will compete for priz-
es, which will be awarded on the
basis of the Lewis Class System
rulings. The Lewis Glass System
is probably the most popular
method of prize distribution, since
it recognizes, and provides prizes
for, several different classes Of
shooters in a single event. AS an
additional feature for Saturdays
trap shooting contest, Mr.. Fred
Tomlin, an outstanding represen-
tative of Remington Arms Com
pany, Bridgeport, Conn, will be
present. Fred Tomlin is rated as
one of the highest ranking trap
shots, on 16 yard targets, in the
United States. Fred Tomlin has
held numerous records in his chos-
en- field of endeavors. Many shoot
ers from the lower part of the
State, who have never seen Fred
Tomlin shoot, will undoubtedly
avail themselves of this opportun-
ity. A large attendance is expect
ed providing clear weather pre-
walls. During the past week.
members of the Clayton Gun Club
have ben busily engaged installing
an adequate lighting system for
both the Club House, and shooting
grounds surrounding it. When
completed, the Clayton Gun Club
will stage night trap shooting
contests. Many persons who fol-
low the wholesome, interesting
game of trap shooting will be more
than glad to welcome night trap
shooting in Kent County. It is
not hard to visualize that many a
pleasant summers evening will be
enjoyed by contestants following
the swift, accurate flight of the
elusive clay target.
