The Grove of the Golden Stars

Braddock Heights. In 1919, ninety-three Norway Maple trees were planted by the Potomac Edison Company at the entrance to Braddock Heights Park. This grove was dedicated by the Hagerstown & Frederick Railway on May 30, 1921 to honor the Frederick County soldiers who died in the Great War. 

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen

In that number was one Frederick F. Carroll
