passed. which, after reciting that the titles
to these lots were uncertain, because there was
record of the survey thereof made by Col.
Orme erected the place into a town called
Rockville, and appointed commissioners to re-
survey it. At the November session, 1902,
supplemental act was passed, and in 1903, the
commissioners caused the resurvey and a plan
of the town to be made by William Smith,
county surveyor. 1t was first meditated to call
the town WattSville but Watts Branch being
regarded as too Insignificant stream, it was
finally concluded to it after its more

This accounts for 20 houses in 1893 and no
doubt there were other buildings besides these
including the court house and Jail which would
make a substantial town for that date.

CHARLES HUNGERFORD was certainly an
~ early settler in this place, for We find his
tavern in operation when Montgomery County
was created September 6, ITS and named in
of Ireland and patriot of the American Revo-
luton who was killed at the battle of Quebec
December 81, ITS, after having captured the
city of Montreal nearly seven weeks before.
At an earlier date, when this settlement was
still young before it was separated from Fred
erick County, and when the colonists were
smarting under England's oppressive measures,
we find a meeting being held at Charles Hun
gerford's Tavern June IL, 1774, when
numerous body of freemen of the lower part
of Frederick County resolved:
THAT every legal and constituted measure
ought to be used by all Americans for pro-
curing repeal of the act of Parliament for
blocking up the harbor of Boston," and that

Hungerford'S Tavern is said to have been
owned and built by Joseph Wilson, an early
land owner of Montgomery County, and after
Hungerford ceased to conduct it, Leonard
ing was occupied by Mrs. Susan Russell, whose
grandfather was Joseph Wilson. According to
the census of 1890 Charles Hungerford, at that
time, had wife. under 16, six daugh-
ters and 20 slaves. -- -.--~-..- -.

We of Washington know Rockville as We do

and used to know the quaint old town as it
existed years ago, with its moss-covered roofs,
its Colonial homes and taverns but which has
now developed into one of the most thrifty

in this part OF the country.
1t is an old town built over, for there are

MARIE DRESSLER,
G, LONG ILL, DIES
Two Years Suffering With
Cancer Fatal, Despite
Gallant Battle.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTA BARBARA, Calf, July %.
Marie DreSsler, veteran actress OF
the stage and screen, died today. She
was 81 years old.
Miss Dressler succumbed to long
affiiction with cancer, heart trouble
and uremia.
Death came at 3:25 pm. for the
self-styled ugly duckling' who be-
came a swan of laughter during q
career replete with both hardship and
glory. Under care Of two physicians
and several nurses, she died at the
G. K. @. Billings estate, to which she
went from Hollywood three months ago
because Of a physical breakdown.
Hope for her recovery was abandoned
three weeks ago, despite store Of vi
tality that surprised her physicians.
Knew Doom Long Ago.
Miss Dressler learned two years ago
she had an incurable ailment, but
took a course of treatment that en-
abled her to make two more pictures
at Metro-G Goodwin Mayer studio, Gull
yer City. by working only few hours
daily. Finally, however, she was
forced to seek long rest
The following report was made by
her physicians, Drs. Franklin D, Nu-
zum and H. S. Schwalenberg:
Miss Dressler passed away at 3 25
pm. today. Immediate cause of death
was uremia Failure of kidney func-
tion). This was complicated by con-
gestive heart failure and by cancer. {"
Only few were present when the
end came. Besides the two doctors
and the nurses were Mr.. and Mrs.
Allen Breed Walker, owners of the
estate where the actress spent her
last days, and her faithful servants,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerry Cox.
Soon after Miss DreSsler's life was
despaired of her condition became SO
critical that DIR. Nuzum expressed
belief she would not live through the
night. She rallied, however. and
though her death was expected
momentarily for days thereafter, it
finally became apparent she might
live several weeks. Most of the time
she was in a state of coma, unable
to converse with friends.
Film Success Came Late.
Movie success came late in life to
Miss DreSsler, who was one of the
most popular players in Hollywood.
