    3. On May 11, 1850, George H. Zimmerman, who was first a teller with the First National Bank and then assistant cashier at Frederick County National Bank, and who was among the founders of The Frederick Seamless Hosiery Company, was born near Walkersville. On May 11, 1881, the last of the bodies in the original cemetery of the German Reformed Church (now Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ) on West Church Street in Frederick, were moved to Mt. Olivet Cemetery. However, the remains of John Thomas Schley, credited as the first resident of Frederick, were never identified and are believed lost. On May 11, 1890, Martha Sigafross was born. She was the first child born in the newly renamed Brunswick. On May 11, 1972, civil disturbances followed a speech by Alabama Governor George Wallace, then a presidential candidate, at the National Guard Armory at West Second and North Bentz Streets in Frederick.
