On July 31, 1809, Elizabeth Ann Seton established the Daughters of Charity
in Emmitsburg.


On July 31, 1860, repairs to the steeple of The Evangelical Reformed Church
on West Church Street in Frederick were completed. Repairs to the town clock
in the steeple were completed in November.


On July 31, 1913, the Frederick Mayor and Board of Aldermen voted to
eliminate standing teams and hitching posts on Market Street between South
and Fifth Streets, and on Patrick Street from Middle Alley to Court Streets
on Saturdays.


On July 31, 1929, Deputy Sheriff Clyde L. Hauver was shot and killed during
a raid on an illegal still six miles west of Thurmont. Charles Lewis, of
Thurmont, and Leslie Clark, of Hagerstown, were convicted January 13, 1930,
of the crime. Hauver remains even today as the only deputy sheriff killed in
the line of duty in Frederick County.
