The Grave of a Civil War Veteran

At mile marker 16 off of Garden State Parkway lies the grave of black Civil War veteran Noah Cherry and General Askew – two more African American veterans of that war.

News accounts at the time identified Cherry as a suspect in Alice Powell’s killing; however, evidence collected by authorities did not coincide with current records in Princess Anne county.

Early Life and Education

At 2-years-old, Noah Lord begins experiencing expressive speech delay and hearing difficulty. An ENT specialist determines that Noah needs tubes in his ears to drain any buildup of fluid that could possibly improve his hearing.

One night, Uncle Noah heard an unfamiliar noise that seemed to come from everywhere at once and pass quickly through the darkness, emitting an unnerving, mournful and wail. Soon thereafter Mr. Lazarus Laws, owner of the house towards which this strange sound was traveling, passed away.

Rev. Armstrong was curious to know more about this man and approached Mrs. Williams who had written a typed seven page manuscript of her memories of him. Mrs. Williams then directed Rev. Armstrong towards another relative of the family – Mrs. Gladys Spaulding who knew of his grave site.
