Our History
Family, Tradition and Experience
Salisbury Monument is a Full-Service Monument Company on the Delmarva Peninsula.
The business was founded in the early 1900's by Mr. T.J. Truitt. During World War II, Mr. Truitt hired and trained an apprentice stonecutter named Samuel J. Disharoon IV. Upon his death, Truitt's widow continued the operation of Salisbury Monument until her passing in the 1950's. The company continued operation under the direction of Truitt's son-in-law, a school teacher named Mr. Russell Lawson, who kept hours only on holidays and during the summertime.
In 1957, Mr. Lawson sold Salisbury Monument to Mr. Disharoon who took over operation of the business with his son, Samuel J. Disharoon V. In 1972 the young Mr. Disharoon purchased the business from his father. Upon Sj Disharoon’s unfortunate passing, it was transferred within the family once more, to Mrs. Wanda L. Maynard Disharoon, and Sj’s Grand-Daughter, Kristen.
