Barbara Fritchie Memorial Birth Of Monument Fund
Fifty years of articles recount the Barbara Fritchie memorial in Mount Oliver Cemetery starting as a News campaign in 1912. The Barbara Fritchie Memorial Association formed with officers and board members from The News staff and Frederick figures, overseeing reinterment of Barbara Fritchie and John C. Fritchie in 1913 and a 1914 monument dedication during the Star Spangled Banner centennial. The fund grew beyond needs, permitting a portion to be invested as a U S Liberty bond, making the group an early patriotic bond subscriber.
