Something Remarkable.

Fifty.six years ago Carroll was represented
in the Maryland Senate by Col. William p.
Maulsby, and in the House of Delegates by
DR.. Jacob Shower, Col. John b. Boyle, Jacob
Powder and Col. James G. Berret. OF these
all are living except DIR. Shower and Jacob
Powder. Col. Maulsby, Col. Boyle and Col.
Berret are perhaps the only survivors of the
Legislature of1S37-3S. 1t is remarkable that
the only survivors are all from one county,
and each is well preserved, mentally and
physically. One of them, Col Berret. was a
member of the House of Delegates in 1892.
DIR. Shower was afterward a member of Con
gress, Col Boyle served in the House of Dele
gates in 1912 and in 1Sl7, and has held
other honorable positions, and Col. Maulsby
has been Il Judge of the Circuit Court and
held other positions of distinction.
Col. John X. Longwell of this city, was
one of the active promoters Of the movement
that resulted in the formation of this county.
II. Vanderford, Esq, Of this city also. was
publishing paper in Centreville, Queen
Anne's county, in 1887. and advocated the
formation of Carroll. Of these gentlemen
Col Longwell is the oldest, being in his S4th
wear. Col. Boyle is next, aged 50 last sum-
mer: Mr. Nandertord next. 81 today; Col.
Berret next, aged about so, and Col Maulsby
the Youngest, in his 10Th year.
Col. Longwell has served IN the Maryland
Senate. and Mr.. Vanderford has served in
both the House and Senate from Carroll.
There are several other residents of West
minister who were active in the movement TO
form the county of Carroll, among them Jos.
NJ. Parke, Esq, practicing LAWYER, and now
nearly 81, and Mr.. Francis Shriver, nearly
SO. secretary of the Mutual Fire Insurance
Company in Baltimore county. The ADvo-
CARE purposes publishing during the winter
