This continued to be the place of
regular meeting til the year 1848,
when it's use for public worship
ceased.
From that period on it was used
by several parties in succession for
public and private purposes, and
was finally secured and used as a
site for Smyrna Seminary, organ
lied in the spring of 1868.
AS if by the irony of fate, the
meeting house of this society of
Friends, whose characteristic
tenets are opposition to strife of all
kinds, and in favor of liberty for
all peoples, was occupied as bar
racks for soldiers of the U. S. A,
during the Civil War, whose object
was by force of arms to maintain
the integrity of the country against
a proposed government, whose
corner stone was to be the enslave-
ment of a large proportion of the
population of one section of the
country. It would seem they
builded better than they thought.
The Seminary continued its good
work until the spring of 1876, when
the building was destroyed by fire,
incendiary it is believed by many
persons acquainted with the cir
cumstances, and the school came
to an untimely end, much to the
regret of it's many patrons and
friends.
Smyrna has gone through many
changes since the days of the stage
coach and the wagon Today 1t is
a thriving town of 1000 people
with many modern improvements,
among which is the large new
school building, one of the most
modern in the state We, the citi-

records of the Society for the prop
agation of the Gospel in England,
it appears that the Rev. Thomas
Crawford in 1904 was sent as the
first missionary to Kent County,
and in 1740 the Rev. Arthur Usher
began Saint Peters parish erecting
at Duck Creek a wooden chapel.
The growth of the parish was
steady and in 1862 the Rev. Char
les Inglis began the erection of a
large church building of brick, but
he was soon called to Trinity
church. New York and was later
made Bishop of Nova Scotia. The
parish continued to develop until
interrupted by the American Rev
olution
The present building was erected
in 1927 and has since been enlarged
and remodeled. It was consecrated
on the 9th day of May 1859 by the
late Bishop of Delaware.
Probably no public building in
Smyrna has been regarded with
more interest than that of the
Friends Meeting House, erected
about 1869 on the Western portion
of a lot on Commerce and East
streets, now owned by the heirs of
the late John @. Bailey.
The society of Friends in the
lower part of New Castle county
and in the upper part of Kent, was
the first religious organization in
this section of the State, formed in
the latter part of the 18th century.
They erected a house for public
worship about this time at Duck
Creek, where they continued to
meet until the building became SO
dilapidated that they were obliged
ito erect a new one and choose a lot
at Duck Creek Cross Roads, later
named Smyrna, where substantial
brick building was constructed
represented by the cut accompany
ing this sketch, the bricks being
made of clay from the same lot
