See the Gross store in the background on the right.<br /> <br /> George Radcliffe from Cambridge represented Maryland in the U.S. Senate from 1935-1947.<br /> <br /> Frederick County&#039;s Congressman Bill Byron was tragically killed in an airplane crash in Georgia on February 27, 1941. His widow, Katharine Byron, a granddaughter of U.S. Senator Louis E. McComas, was elected in a special election to complete her husband&#039;s term of office.<br /> <br /> Ironically, the Byron&#039;s son Goodloe was later elected to his parents&#039; seat and was succeeded by his widow Beverly after he died at age 49 running along the C&amp;O Canal. Sonny Cannon was a long time supporter and friend of the Byron family.<br /> <br /> (From the Brunswick Community Library; Frederick County Public Libraries)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Smoketown Politics and Public Works]]</div>
