Docent Anne Daly’s November 4 program brings the history of a Brandywine Hundred cemetery to a Wilmington Civil War Round Table meeting at Six Paupers in Hockessin.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
The cemetery is the subject, not the destination: Anne Daly is scheduled to speak about Civil War veterans at Newark Union Church & Cemetery from the banquet room at Six Paupers Tavern and Restaurant. The listing announces a presentation, not a visit to the cemetery itself.
Newark Union Church & Cemetery is north of Wilmington in Brandywine Hundred. The nonprofit Newark Union Corporation cares for the property and works to preserve its history and share it with the community; a 10-member volunteer board oversees the site’s operations and care.
The corporation’s vision includes opening the church building as a museum and making improvements at the cemetery. That preservation work gives the November talk a present-day local context: the site is not only a setting for Civil War history but also a place whose future the community is working to shape.

The Wilmington Civil War Round Table was founded in November 1956 by Wilmington enthusiasts, scholars and preservationists. It describes its mission as advancing Civil War education through monthly programs, preservation efforts and community engagement, and calls itself one of the country’s oldest round tables and the oldest of Delaware’s two.
Preservation was part of the group’s early connections: founding member W. Emerson Wilson also helped establish the Fort Delaware Society in 1950. The two organizations’ collaboration, according to the round table, has continued since the 1950s. Daly’s subject—a nearby cemetery under active nonprofit care—sits naturally within that history.
The 2026–27 lecture series is scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month from September through May, with programs beginning at 7:30 p.m. The November meeting is one stop in that monthly series.

Daly is identified as a docent at Newark Union Church & Cemetery, and the presentation is titled “Civil War Veterans in the Newark Union Cemetery.” The listing does not identify particular veterans, records or research findings, so attendees can expect a cemetery-focused talk without a published outline of its individual subjects.
The in-person meeting is listed for Six Paupers’ banquet room in Hockessin. Anyone hoping to visit the cemetery should treat that as a separate plan: no cemetery tour is advertised for this program.
