Civil War Descendant Living Here in Frederick County
The Frederick County Commissioners heard from Maurice Eugene Pryor a direct descendant of a Civil War veteran who served with Cole's Cavalry in the Valley of Virginia. Pryor, a retired Pennsylvania Railroad engineer, detailed his father George W. Pryor’s Union Army service and the family’s moves from Foxville to Smithsburg and Monocacy Village. He described a preserved original letter from the Civil War era. Marilyn Monroe attended the funeral of Augusta Miller in Brooklyn as part of Arthur Miller's family. An earthquake was felt in Iquique, Chile, causing alarm but no damage.
