Bar Association of Frederick County History

The Bar Association of Frederick County was created in 1923; however, members of the Frederick Bar held meetings before then - as early as 1872, as evidenced by this document from the BAFC archives:

March 11, 1872 meeting of "Members of the Bar of Frederick"

W. Clinton McSherry called together the 30 members of the Frederick County Bar to meet at the Courthouse on January 22nd, 1923 at 2:30pm with the purpose of forming the Bar Association of Frederick County.  Here are the minutes from that meeting:

This is another interesting document, which contains
