Legends of Monnockkessy Trail and the Potomac Indian Nations
A Persian of early Maryland chronicles vast Indian routes in Western Maryland and Upper Montgomery including the Monnockkessy and Sinequa paths. It notes Senecas Shawnees Tuscaroras and traders, a trading post at Martin Chartier, Tuscarora village near Monnockkessy, and Sugar Loaf signaling.
Consecration Service Held For New Clarksburg Parsonage
About 125 members from Germantown Dickerson and Clarksburg attended the consecration of the new Methodist parsonage. The program included organ recitals, hymns, a main address by Dr. John C. Milliam on The Home, and prayers. Several local church members and officials were noted, along with community notices about schedule changes, local births and military returnees.
Shawnees and Tuscaroras Memo: Migration and Carroll Lands
The Maryland governor asked for a mid April 1725 council but the Indian leader did not appear. By 1738 all Shawnee and Tuscarora villages in Maryland were deserted as tribes moved to Shamokin Catwissa Wyoming Valley Owego and Binghamton then settled in Canada. The Tuscaroras remained loyal to Americans in the Revolution and Nicholas Yongers of Frederick recalls visiting a Canadian reservation near Brantford. Charles Carroll later acquired much land along the Monocacy though he treated the tribes as real owners, part of which became Carrollton.

Traffic crashes and weight rate bids merge in midweek briefs
A Hershey driver was cited after running a red light and hitting a Toronto tractor trailer at South Market and West South streets about 10 15 p m. The lighter car suffered over 150 dollars damage while the tractor trailer’s bill was about 5 dollars. Earlier, another collision occurred at the same intersection with negligible damage. A parked auto on West All Saints street was nicked by a car maneuvering to park. Separately Baltimore area railroads petitioned the ICC to suspend weight provisions for import iron ore to Philadelphia and Baltimore to ease a pending rate war. Captain Charles O Routzahn, son of Frederick residents, serves at Fort Richardson Alaska with the Alaska General Depot and holds multiple service ribbons.
