Paul Luther Stine, Jr. Memorial Fund

Founded by sister Alice Jean Stine for grants to nonprofit organizations providing for the rescue and well-being of horses.

Paul Luther Stine, Jr. was born on October 20, 1938, the son of Paul and Julia Stine. Growing up in Knoxville, he worked with his family in farming.

Florence E. Stoner McDaniel College Scholarship Fund

Founded with a bequest from husband Frank G. Stoner for McDaniel College students.

Frank L. Stoner was born June 13, 1864 in Frederick, where he was raised and educated. He was a locally trained lawyer, who was admitted to the local bar association in 1885. That same year, Mr. Stoner was nominated and elected by the Democratic Party to the House of Delegates from Frederick County. He was not only a lawyer and delegate but also involved with several local banks: President of Farmers & Mechanics National Bank for 15 years, President of First National Bank of Mount Airy and Director of Woodsboro Savings Bank. Mr. Stoner’s wife Florence preceded him in death, and in his will he established The Florence E. Stoner Scholarship Fund in her memory to award scholarships to McDaniel College. Though he was well known throughout the community, Mr. Stoner created a lasting legacy in his wife’s name.

Sperry L. Storm Memorial Scholarship Fund

Founded with the dissolution of The Sperry L. Storm Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc. for private music instruction scholarships for Frederick County Public Schools students in kindergarten through 11th grade.

Sperry Storm was a well-known Frederick County musician whose mother inspired his musical talent with piano lessons at a young age. Mr. Storm and his brothers learned to play instruments from the string, reed, brass, and percussion families. He led a life completely dedicated to music, from teaching to playing it. He performed with various groups, including the Francis Scott Key Hotel trio, local dance bands, and an Evangelical Reformed Church group in Frederick. He taught thousands of students, first from a studio he opened in Frederick and later when he led the Frederick High School band, playing a pivotal part in expanding the school’s musical program. By his retirement in 1976, Mr. Storm had spent almost 50 years teaching privately and 35 years as a public school music educator. The Sperry L. Storm Memorial Scholarship Fund, founded to continue Mr. Storm’s legacy, awards scholarships for private music instructional lessons for students of Frederick County Public Schools attending kindergarten through 11th grade.
