HISTORY OF ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, KENT COUNTY, MD.
1893. The cemetery is now in most excellent condition, thoroughly clean and well cared for It is under the management of Mr. Thomas W. Skirven. Between nature's grand provision and art's careful supply, this Cemetery of St. Paul's is second to none for quiet grandeur and exquisite beauty. It is situated on the summit of a gentle slope, with a pretty, bright stream of water at the foot of the hill, while the dear old Church, at its brow. rises from its 200 years of foundation in a call of peace and rest with God. Great giant oaks make the scene majestically beautiful from the hand of nature, and art has done her part in promoting most sweet loveliness. The tree tops of the great giant oak trees tower their lofty heads as reaching for the skies. and stretch out their tops as fingers ever pointing heavenwards. Their great lower limbs reach out their wondrous length in unusual size and strength, as though typical of the Great loving arm of the Good God, stretched out over His own Sacred Acre, in merciful care of His faithful departed holy dead. Hosts of evergreen and other trees and shrubs are in irregular beauty all around the grounds. The graves are all neat and well cared for, the walks clean and hard. Flowers in abundance adorn the scene and bright green grass everywhere colors and closely covers the whole Cemetery. May it long remain a home of beauty for the bodies of our much loved departed members and all true friends.
