On June 25, 1836, McClintock Young, inventor of machinery used in the
manufacture of matches and brushes, was born in Washington, D.C. He died
August 1, 1913, in Frederick. It was Young who kept Ox Fibre Brush Company
at the forefront of the industry from its Frederick manufacturing plant.
On June 25, 1915, a train wreck at the High Bridges over the highway to
Sabillasville killed six. It involved the Western Maryland's Blue Mountain
Express and a mail train.
