Old Swedes Churchyard Walking Tour

Description

Horace Burr was a physician, an author and he served in the Delaware Legislature. At Old Swedes he was Senior Warden and Vestryman. His 1899 translation of the early Swedish church records is still used today and is a valuable genealogical research tool.

Notice the Burr family coat of arms carved into one side of the monument, and the German text on the opposite side.
