On April 1, 1841, a lot on East Church Street, extending back to Market Place, was deeded from Henry Doyle to the trustees of the Methodist Church for the erection of a new edifice. It was torn down in 1865 and another worship facility was built. This second structure on the site was torn down in the 1970s to make way for Frederick's first parking garage. It had been converted into apartments after Calvary Methodist Church was erected on North Bentz Street in 1930. On April 1, 1865, Jacob Koogle, a Frederick native, was a combatant in the Battle of Five Forks in Virginia. On May 10, 1865, he was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroism. His citation said he "captured battle flag." On April 1, 1867, John S. Pennell was elected the first mayor of Mechanicstown (now Thurmont), and that community was incorporated by an Act of The General Assembly. John S. Rouser, Leonard Picking, and Joshua Stokes were elected town commissioners. On April 1, 1872, the floor of Groff Hall on West Fourth Street in Frederick collapsed, injuring many at a Bethel AME Church fair. One child was trampled to death in the rush to exit the building. Bethel AME is now known as Quinn Chapel AME. On April 1, 1887, the Frederick Seamless Hosiery Company, which later became the Union Manufacturing Company, was chartered. It produced the first pair of nylon hose for women in the world. On April 1, 1926, The Citizens Truck Company was organized. It was the first exclusively ladder fire company in Frederick County. On April 1, 1976, the Urbana Volunteer Fire Company officially went into service at 8 P.M. after being approved the previous night by The Frederick County Volunteer Firemen's Association.
