Baltimore Pilgrimage to Frederick for Key Grave Visit
A Baltimore to Frederick pilgrimage to visit the grave of Francis Scott Key faced delays and a smaller turnout than expected. Eight travelers departed from Baltimore led by Mr. Bibbins, with a Frederick committee meeting arrivals at Mt Olivet Cemetery. Expenses ran about 1700 dollars, with 1400 raised so far, and organizers anticipate a small shortfall offset by local business donors. The event boosted local commerce and featured a band, Knights of Pythias, and city officials coordinating with the Board of Trade.
