Olivet Cemetery in Frederick. (This event was supposed to coincide with the anniversary of the birth of Key, which at this point in time was thought to have been August 9, 1780. Years later, Judge Edward S. Delaplaine discovered a baptismal record at the Evangelical Reformed Church in Frederick which indicated that Key was actually born on August 1, 1779.
