Wikipedia Description: Mount Olivet Cemetery (Frederick)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Olivet Cemetery is a cemetery in Frederick City, Maryland. It was chartered on October 4, 1852 to provide several of the downtown churches more room for interments, after their cemeteries became full. Over time some of these smaller cemeteries were also relocated to Mount Olivet.

Initial shares were sold for US$20 with the intention that after the cemetery was laid out that each share would be exchanged for 12 grave lots. The first burial took place on May 28, 1854.

Persons of note interred:

* George Baer, Jr., (1763-1834), U.S. Congressman for Maryland's 4th District, 1797-1801 & 1815-1817.
* James Cooper (1810-1863), U.S. Congressman and Senator from Pennsylvania, Union Army general
* Barbara Fritchie (1766-1862), American patriot during the Civil War and the subject of John Greenleaf Whittier's 1864 poem.
* Thomas Johnson (1732–1819), the first Governor of Maryland, United States Supreme Court justice
* Francis Scott Key (1779-1843) author of The Star-Spangled Banner the US national anthem
* John Ross Key (1754-1821) commissioned officer in the Continental Army, judge, lawyer and the father of Francis Scott Key

2005 photos: Trips this year: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago. Equipment this year: I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas. Number of photos taken this year: 147,000.
