Anniversaries and birthdays span notable figures and events
Know America Today's Anniversaries lists figures from telegraph inventor Morse to Grant and Van Depoele with birth and death years, plus historical events like York taken by Pike and the White League's birth. Today's birthdays cover clergy, diplomats, authors, and scientists. A birthday party in Frederick marks Miss Mary Margaret Hopper turning 17, with guests and gifts noted, and a final line recalls the first Rose Bowl in 1916.
