    3. On June 25, 1836, McClintock Young, inventor of machinery used in the manufacture of matches and brushes, was born in Washington, D.C. He died August 1, 1913, in Frederick. It was Young who kept Ox Fibre Brush Company at the forefront of the industry from its Frederick manufacturing plant. On June 25, 1915, a train wreck at the High Bridges over the highway to Sabillasville killed six. It involved the Western Maryland's Blue Mountain Express and a mail train. If anyone can add information to these History Moments, or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day, please contact me privately. John W. Ashbury (wasps65@earthlink.net)
