6. Month of July
To honor
Julius Caesar (100-44 BC), the month of "
Quintilis" was named July in honor of him.
A
legend created in the 13th century A.D. is that one day was taken to add to July to honor Julius Caesar, and one day was then taken to add to August to honor Augustus Caesar.
"
Dog days" begin in early July.
7. Liberty Bell in Elizabethtown
July 4, 1915 was 139 years after July 4, 1776.
In 1915, 500,000 schoolchildren signed a petition asking the city of Philadelphia to send the Liberty Bell to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of San Francisco.
During World War I, the Liberty Bell made a trip from Philadelphia by railroad, including the
train station outside
Elizabethtown, PA. It reached the west coast and then returned to Philadelphia where it has been ever since.
It was the Liberty Bell's last trip outside Philadelphia. Jacob N. Olweiler arranged for the Bell to stop in Elizabethtown.

Many soldiers and sailors (and others) marched by the Moose store building, then the "
Franklin Store", on Saturday, August 17, 1947 for the World War II Victory Parade in Elizabethtown, PA.
A little girl, who would march in that parade years later, got to touch the Liberty Bell - guard said it was ok, lifting her up. It was at closing time, almost no one there.
