IF any one family can be cited as exemplars of the entrepreneurial spirit of Glasgow which drove the expansion of the city in the latter half of the 18th century, it was the Stirlings who effectively began the printing and dyeing industries that were a huge contributor to the development of Glasgow and other places. There had been Stirlings in and around Glasgow for centuries, but it was William Stirling (1717-1777) who made them rich and famous.

ELKTON â Just days before passing away, well known Cecil County businessman David Williams sold his Cherry Hill property known by the family as âThe Hillâ to Old Apostolic Lutheran Church in Newark.
William Denny, a member of the church board of directors, said Williams welcomed the idea that his 23 acres would become a place of worship and eternal rest.
âOur cemetery will be adjacent to the cemetery at Cherry Hill United Methodist Church,â Denny said. âThere will be no school, no daycare center or sports. It will be very low impact on the community.â
The current church has a capacity of 588 people. Denny said the congregation has outgrown the building at 2038 Pleasant Valley Road.
