On July 14, 1791, President George Washington appointed Thomas Johnson, who had been Maryland's first governor and who was a resident of Frederick, as an Associate Justice of The United States Supreme Court. On July 14, 1885, Samuel Heidelberger Rosenstock, who achieved great success in the canning industry in Frederick County, and who made countless contributions to local institutions and charities, was born in Baltimore. He died March 22, 1981, at his West Second Street home in Frederick across from Baker Park. On July 14, 1902, fire heavily damaged the south wing of the Montevue Hospital, then two miles from Frederick. All city fire equipment and manpower took nearly an hour to arrive on the scene. The blaze began in a clothes room on the fifth floor. Damage was extensive on the south wing's fourth and fifth floors and the south tower. More than 125 "inmates" were evacuated, as was a great deal of the buildings' furnishings.
