St. Mark's Episcopal Cemetery Records recorded and submitted by

History

St. Mark’s Church was originally a “Chapel of Ease” to St Mary Anne’s Church in North East, Maryland. The cornerstone was laid on April 3, 1844 by the Bishop of Maryland on land donated by neighboring Gale Family. The cemetery was originally that family’s private burying ground. The Chapel was consecrated in August of 1845 and The Reverend Richard Whittingham Jr. became its Deacon and Assistant to the Rector at St. Mary Anne’s.

In 1913 St. Mark’s was separated from St. Mary Anne’s and established as Susquehanna Parish(now in the Diocese of Easton). The Parish House was named for Howard Tipton, a dedicated lay worker in the Parish..

Historic St. Mark’s Church serves a rapidly-growing western Cecil County. It provides a spiritual home, vital Christian fellowship and important community services for the entire Susquehanna Parish.
