This Day In History

By John Ashbury

On January 22, 1791, President George Washington appointed Thomas Johnson, of Frederick, Maryland's first governor and Washington’s longtime friend, to head the Federal City Planning Commission.

On January 22, 1853, The “Agricultural Club of Frederick County” was organized with Lewis Kemp as president.

On January 22, 1873, Private George Hooker, who was born in Frederick, preformed heroically at an engagement with hostile Indians at Tonto Creek, Arizona. On August 12, 1875, he was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions in which he was killed. His citation reads: “Gallantry in action in which he was killed.”

On January 22, 1950, The Church of The Brethren, which has been located at 23 West Fourth Street since 1886, decided to purchase four lots at the corner of Fairview Avenue and West Second Street for $6,000 on which to erect a new sanctuary. The actual purchase was made on February 1, 1954, for a price of $6,700.
