EAGLE ARCHIVE: From the rails to the pews, new churches are big deal in Carroll County
"This afternoon at one o'clock, the corner-stone of the new Methodist Episcopal Church, about to be erected at New Windsor, will be laid with Masonic ceremonies, by Door to Virtue Lodge, of this city.
"The members of the lodge will meet at Masonic Hall, in the Wantz Building, at 11:45 this morning, and leave for New Windsor on the 11:53 train."

UPDATE: Be sure to read Jennifer Jiggetts’ Carroll County Times story. She did a great job: “Elton John's keyboardist, New Windsor native dead” at 52 By Jennifer Jiggetts, Times Staff Writer Friday, September 04, 2009

When he was in seventh grade, Guy Babylon and several of his New Windsor friends formed a band.
They performed at the New Windsor carnival, gave small concerts by Babylon’s pool and won many talent shows in Carroll County. The band rehearsed wherever it could.

Babylon, John’s lead keyboardist, died Wednesday night in California. He was 52.
