On May 28, 1859, a convention of slaveholders was held at The Frederick County Courthouse to select delegates to the state convention to be held in Baltimore on June 8. On May 28, 1869, George Truman was hanged at the jail on West South Street in Frederick for the murder of an unidentified man on January 30, 1869, near Point of Rocks. While never fully identified, the murder victim is thought to have been a Jewish peddler. On May 28, 1888, a fire and explosion, caused by the ignition of gasoline fumes, destroyed Charles Zeller's store at South and Market streets in Frederick. Thirty-one members of the United Fire Company were injured battling the subsequent fire. Most were cut by flying glass.
