Old Pendleton Mansion Razed in Martinsburg
The old Pendleton mansion near Senator Faulkner's Martinsburg residence has been torn down by buyer Mr J C Frazer. Built over a century ago by Captain Strode, its bricks were hauled from Baltimore and the site will host a new dwelling. Found during demolition were a silver 1784 sixpence a 1773 colonist penny and an 1783 copper coin. Nearby, Frank S Emmett has broken ground for a fine residence, and Captain Strode, ancestor of H St John Shepherd, was once a friend of George Washington. Election of Officers for the Charlotte Zz Company of Emmitsburg reported the seven directors and new officers. Brick Rider Park unveils a six-turn sixty-foot spiral for a single-wheel descent. Several Fredericktonians are visiting the World’s Fair, including Mrs John E W Tgett and others from Emmitsburg and surrounding towns.
