On December 19, 1881, William Tyler Page, who was born and raised on Record Street in Frederick, was appointed a congressional page. He wrote The American's Creed. On December 19, 1929, Charles Lewis, 43, of Thurmont, declared his innocence from the witness stand in the death of Frederick County Sheriff's Deputy Clyde L. Hauver during his murder trial in Hagerstown. Hauver was killed during a raid on a still at Blue Blazes, three miles west of Thurmont. Lewis, and Leslie Clark, of Hagerstown, were convicted January 13, 1930, of the crime. Deputy Hauver remains even today as the only deputy sheriff killed in the line of duty in Frederick County.
