The following is a true story. The only detail that's missing is what exactly was the name of the student...
In 1850, John Wilkes Booth, the assassin, was a 12 year old student at Milton's Boarding School in Cockeysville. According to a classmate, he tried to pick on a student from the Eastern Shore with a strange last name. The 1859 Milton's yearbook lists all past students. I remember looking thru the alumni attempting to find a stange last name of somebody from the Eastern Shore. The most likely candidate I found was, you guessed it, TOADVINE. Whoever this student was, he beat up Booth who was apparently much smaller in size. Food for thought.--M. Christopher New
