250th Birthday Anniversary of John Hanson
The 250th birth anniversary of Frederick resident John Hanson, who served as President of the United States in Congress Assembled, is celebrated today with a Capitol ceremony by invitation of Maryland Senators Charles McC. Mathias Jr. and J. Glenn Beall Jr. Controversy centers on statues selected for Statuary Hall, with Hanson's statue relocated to the Senate Connecting Corridor to relieve hall congestion. The event traces Hanson’s disputed birth year and the sparse early biography history, noting a 1932 biography by Seymour Wemyss Smith and a 1924 letter inquiry from Smith. Additional context explains Rotunda placements and states that three Collec tion statues reside there.
