On December 29, 1824, General Lafayette was received
at the Monocacy (Jug) Bridge by many Frederick
dignitaries, including Lawrence Everhart who had carried
a wounded Lafayette from the Brandywine Battlefield
during the Revolutionary War, and taken to town with
great pomp and circumstance.

On December 29, 1830, six members of the John Newby
household in Harbaugh Valley west of Thurmont were
stabbed to death and their home burned to the ground.
John Markley was executed for the crime on June 24,
1831, on the Barracks Grounds on Cannon Hill.

If anyone can add information to these History Moments,
or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day,
please contact me privately.
