The Annual Harvest Home Ser
vice at Old Prince Georges Chapel,
one of the oldest churches in Della
ware, which is located near Days
boro, was held Sunday afternoon,
October II, beginning at three o.
clock. The Rt Rev. Arthur r. Nc
Kinstry, Bishop of Delaware, spoke
at the services which were in charge
of the Rev Glen B. Walter, rector
of St. PauTs P. E. Church of
Georgetown, and st. Marks P. E.
Church of MillsbOrO. Congregations
Of all Episcopal Churches in Sus-
sex County participated in the ser
vice.
The history of Prince Georges
pTe-dates the Revolutionary War
period, although there is uncer-
tainty as to the exact date when
it was first established as a ceH-
ter of worship. In his reports to
the Society for Propagation of
the Gospel in Foreign Parts" as
early at 1717, the Rev. George Ross
recorded a visit to "a small frame
building, erected for the purpose
of wOrshipping Almighty God
about Is miles from Lewes, and
that che baptized 25 children" The
distance mentioned, by way of the
then Old Ferry Road, would be
about the exact distance from
Lewes to DagsborO, then known as
BlackfOOt Town. This record, to-
gether with vestry records of OLD
ST.. Martins Church, regarding the
building of the present structure
would seem to bear out the early
origin. Two statements in the rec
Ofds of Old st. Martins, located
I between SeIbyville and Berlin, Md.
speak of the old chapel. One says
, that in 1855 the old Chapel was put
up at public sale and bid in by
James Johnson for $4,000 pounds
of tobacco. The other, in 1856
/ states that the vestry instructed
/ Mr.. Johnson to 'build a chapel, Al
by 40 feet, where the old chape
stands, for the sum of $1,000 lbs
of tobacco" According to the rec
ords of Old st. Martins Parish, the
| present chapel was built in 175I
as a Chapel of Ease" of Old st
Martins Parish, and remained as
such until the establishment of the
, Mason Dixon Line.
About so years after the estab
lishment of the "Chapel of Ease,
} it was enlarged by the addition O
a transept and a small sanctuary
making the chapel into the shape
Milford chronicle., 1948-10-22

of a Latin Cross. Expenses of the
enlargement were said to have been
borne by the DagswOrth family.
Regular services were discontinue
ed in this historic church in 1847,
and from that time on, only Occa-
siOnal annual services were held,
most of the congregation having
moved away and established con-
neetiOns with other churches, some
to st. Marks in MillsbOrO and
others to a small church known as
Baltimore Mills, then existing near
FrankfOrd. This date marked the
beginning of decay in Old Prince
Georges. The transeps fell and
only the nave of the chapel re-
mained. In 1928 the east end of
the chapel was enclosed to pre-
vent further deterioration, and
since that time people of MillsbOrO,
DagsbOrO and Georgetown have at
tempted to preserve the once beau
tiful shrine. It was restored large
ly through the efforts of the Rev.
Richard K White, a former rector
of St. Pauls P. E. Church. George
town. The two and one-half acres
of church yard have been kept
clean and efforts made to restore
the chapel to it's original form of
1857.
In this chapel, General John
DagswOrthy of Revolutionary fame,
worshipped, and the town of Days
bOrO was named fOB him. A mOnu-
ment to his memory, erected by the
State of Delaware, stands in The
church yard of the chapel. The re-
mains of General DagswOrthy and
his wife were buried beneath the
north transept, but are now believ-
ed to rest beneath the monument
erected to the Generals memory.
The original communion vessels
were given to Old Prince Georges
Chapel by the Royal House of Eng
land. in honor of Prince George,
who afterward became George the
Third of England.

The idea for establishing a book
store came to them as a suggestion
from a friend - a salesman who
called on them one evening to in
terest them in purchasing automo-
bile insurance.
This was back in March of 1916.
Admitting the Borg's home library,
as many of their friends have done
in the past years, this salesman
suggested that they should open a
bookstore in Superior This idea
struck a responsive note in Eugene
who had been toying with the idea
for quite some time before of GO
ing into some kind of business for
himself but up to this time had
been unable to make up his mind
as to the line in which he was most
interested.
After the salesman left that eve
ming, the Borgs Immediately began
planning for bookstore. Mrs. Borg
started in contracting publishing
houses to order books, and on May
% they opened their store at 1925
Tower avenue.
Mrs. Borg revealed that she had

married Mr. Borg-and now she is
just as enthusiastic about books as
her husband. Mr.. Borg does all the
purchasing of books for the store,
while she purchases the specially
lines.
Two features that will be on
display beginning with the grand
opening" will be a new line of
dolls and toys-they will have the
Terri-Lee dolls as an exclusive
agency for Superior, and likewise
will be exclusive in the retailing of
"Smitty trucks in miniature" toys,
made by Smith-Miller at Lincoln,
Nebraska.
BOrgs also handle a complete line
of greeting cards, genuine Hummel
figurines, stuffed genuine lambskin
toys, stationery, children's books,
pottery, pictures, and many other
miscellaneous items in the gift line.
Borg's likewise feature a complete
rental library.
