On February 2, 1851, an addition to the Old Hill Church on East All Saints Street, the forerunner of Asbury United Methodist Church, was dedicated. On February 2, 1876, a violent wind storm hit Frederick, toppling the steeple of All Saints Episcopal Church on West Church Street. On February 2, 1978, William W. Wenner, of Brunswick, a member of the Frederick law firm of Rollins, Wenner and Price, was appointed to the District Court bench by Acting Governor Blair Lee III. He replaced Judge Byron Thompson, who retired February 1. Judge Wenner was later appointed to the Circuit Court, won a bitter contested election to remain there in 1982, and was later elevated to the Court of Special Appeals. He retired in September 2000, having reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 for Maryland judges.
