Montgomery SideIights
By ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

Third graders in county elemen-
tary schools are studying local his
tory. A similar project was started
before the war which turned up
some very interesting facts. Here
are few which we remember: At
Laytonsville the 9th graders who
carried the pre-war project learn
ed that the DAR-marked-grave of
Revolutionary hero, DR.. Waters,
is on what was then a part of
Spring Garden Farm-that Mrs.
Vestus Wilcox's children are the
seventh generation of Griffiths to
live at Edgehill-that the living
room at the Fry farm, Fair Hill,
was in 1912, Fred Bowman's store.
Gaithersburg, on Deer Park
tract, surveyed in 1922, is now a
milling and trading point for the
dairy and stock farming district.
The U. S. Coast and Geodetic OBJ
servatory is worthy of note. The
oak tree under which Braddock
and Washington stopped in what
is now Gaithersburg is still stand
ing.
Near Hyattstown, founded in
1900 by Jesse Hyatt, are quarries
said to have supplied the slate for
roofing the old Capitol in Wash
ington. In 1862 General Stonewall
Jackson had an artillery skirmish
in the town with General N. P.
Banks.
Clarksburg is situated on the
site of an Indian trading post.
Later Dowden's Ordinary, a tav-
ern, was built by Michael Dowden
in 1850 and torn down in 1920.
In Rockville the youngsters
learned of the controversy still
waged over the location of Hunger
ford Tavern where a famous meet
ing was held which led to the
| writing of the Declaration of In
dependence-what is known as the
old Dawson place in Rockville was
built by Upton Beall before 1900.
Other interesting stories about
Rockville godchild of the En-
press Eugene lies buried in St.
Mary's Cemetery-Phillip Reed
built up great fame for the town
as the maker of gun stocks. The
town is exactly 16 miles from the
White House. A marker similar to
one at the White House is said to
be buried under the cement in
front of Worth's Store.
Rockville has had many other
names, among them Hungerford's,
Montgomery Courthouse, and Will
liamsburg. Here are some of the
nicknames of localities used in
early days-Higginsville, Swamp
Poodle, Blue Jay Hollow, Whip
uoor-will Hill, Hells Hill, Quality
Hill, Frogtown, Haiti and Blood
field.

One unforgettable character
whom we remember as a child was
the Rev. S. R. White-a marrying
Baptist parson. He was also school
examiner" and to his dying day
always demanded that we spell
separate for him whenever or
wherever we saw him-seems that
at an early age we spelled it in
correctly.
Suburban Hospital is built on a
very old farm which was owned by
Mrs. Peyton Whalen's ancestors
that the District of Columbia was
owned by Montgomery County I'M
til after the War of Independence.
This county is rich in history
and tradition. Along the Potomac
and Patuxent whose banks border
our county, settlements were made
very early. Richard Brightwell
was established in hunting lodge
way up the Potomac above Pooles-
vile as early as 1880. Descendants
of early families throughout the
county have lovely and interesting
possessions.
The children also learned some
of the traditions. Even if not
authentic these old tales have been
handed down for generations-the
headless horseman that rides along
River Road-Cedar Lane section
the white dog that comes out of
the ground of the Bowie Davis
place above Olney and accom-
panies the passer-by for a time
before disappearing into thin air
An interesting raconteur of tales
of history and traditions is Will
liam Prettyman of Rockville-he
is to be the speaker at the next
regular meeting of the Rockville
Civic Association on December II,
