County's First Cyclone Moved Corn
House Without Splitting a Grain

The first cyclone in Montgom-
cry County history cut a narrow
swath of destruction through
Sandy Spring on September 3,
1879 The twister was so narrow
and its course so straight that
damage was light and no one was
injured.
The cyclone crashed first into
a cherry tree on the farm of
Stephen Holland, then cut across
a nearby burying ground, ripping
out the tomb stones. Trees, crops,
and buildings were leveled on the
farms of Augustus Cashell, Pen.
uel Palmer, Frederick Stabler,
Joseph T. Moore, William w.
Moore, James H. Stone, William
H. Farquhar, Simon Bowen, and
Mahlon Chandlee.
With its destruction, the wind
had its comic irony. In the fields
of James Powell sit moved the
corn house from its foundations
so gently as scarcely to spill any
grains from an open barrel of
wheat which it carried along"

first in 1916, Grace Church in
1867 Originally known as Forest
Chapel, Ascension Chapel of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in
1881, and last but by no means
least St. Martins Roman Cath
Ole Church in 1920. This last
named being an outgrowth of
the st. Rose Church at Chopper
Forest Oak Cemetery was es-
tablished in 1879.
The citizens of my home town
have always been "joiners". l
do not use that phrase in a de-
rogatory sense; they are joiners
in the best sense of the word
seeking by means of combined eff
fort to do more good in the com
munity than could possibly be
accomplished by individuals. The
Oldest fraternal organization still
active in the town is the Forest
Oak Lodge of the Knights of
Pythias which was instituted in
1899. Next in order comes Pen
talpha Lodge of Masons, char
tered in 1899; Oak Grove Rebek-

was established in 1947. Both the

their dates being 1882 and 1947
respectively; while the Lions
Club and Kiwanis (1945 and 1850
represent the Service Organiza-
tons.
Such, in brief, is a review of
my home town. My first recollec-
ton of it is of a sleepy, good
natured little village, where
everyone knew everyone else, and
had lots of time for visiting and
reminiscing. 1t has grown in size
and is no longer sleepy, but the
neighborliness of its citizens has
not decreased with the passing
of the years, "The heart of Mont
gomery County is big as all out

its many wonderful features
especially when in the company
of Texans and others of like pro.

The Town of Gaithersburg
lies partly on the. old tract called
Deer Pagk" which was surveyed
for Ralph Crabb in 1922. It takes
its name from Benjamin Gather,
who built the first house within
IFS present limits in 1902. 1t was
called Galthersburg until 1850
when its name was changed to
Forest Oak, and the town con
tinued to be called either Gath
ersburg or Forest Oak until 1873
when, with the completion of the
Metropolitan Branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, it final
ly changed to the name it now
bears. The name became official
in 1873 when the town was in
cotporated as "The Commission
ers of Gaithersburg."

The protest was lodged with

Among the vaudeville guest

In December of 1914 the Lyric
replaced the weekly VAUDEVILLE

Washington to play during the
performances"
Shortly afterwards music at
the theater was discontinued al

numbers were drawn on stage
and those holding corresponding
ticket numbers received prizes.
And if countians liked neither
the silent films, the VAUDEVILLE

they may have come to the Lyric

Chicago Court
Throws Out Suit
Against Pastor
Of 0Iivet
Baptist Church
DR.. Joseph H. jackson
Wins Court Victory

Chicago, ILL.,, Mar. ga COM
plant filed against DR.. J. H. Jack
son, president Of the National Bap-
fist Convention, USA, and pastor
of Olivet Baptist church, was dis
missed by a Judge here last week
who said It failed to state cause
of action.
Judge Frank M. Padden sus-
tanned motions by DR.. Jackson's
lawyers that the court had no
right to rule on the question Of
whether a member has the right
to belong or to hold office within
a church because the right involved
was not property or civil right.
Put simpler, the judge ruled that
the warning factions in Olivet
would have to fight 1t out by them
selves.
The suit was filed last fall by
