A new gravestone was installed today for Abijah Hopkins, a Revolutionary War Captain, resting in the Frankford Plains Cemetery. Thank you to the Chinkchewunska Chapter DAR for making these arrangements. Thank you to Bobby Drew for intalling the stone.
School is fast approaching. Why not give the gift of Sussex County history to a family member or friend? Check out our expanded online bookstore at www.sussexhistory.org/ and click on Shop. Browse through our many specials and check out our Double Decker special. Amelia Stickney Decker and Ralph Decker are well known in Sussex County. Amelia was a historian and Ralph was an educator. Ralph wrote Then And Now: Forty Years in the Schools of Sussex County. He gives a history of Sussex County schools up to 1940 as well as histories of individual school districts. Included are many photographs of early Sussex County school houses. Amelia Stickney Decker wrote That Ancient Trail which explores the discovery, settling and early life along the Old Mine Road. The second part of the book takes the reader on a tour of some of the connecting roads and “Century Old Houses” in Walpack, Sandyston and Montague Townships.
I was very honored to receive the Sussex County George Washington Award on Saturday at the Fairgrounds. Bill Truran presented it to me in the County Building. The award reads: Presented to an experienced Sussex County resident who has shown interest in history, displayed perseverance through service to the community, and has obtained the wisdom gained through their years to help with the preservation of our past." This award is especially meaningful to me because past recipients include Jennie Sweetman and Alex Everitt....two superstars in local history.
