Gary, I checked out Kanely's book on Maryland Ministers and there was no reference for S.E. Poultney. However, with the help of Francis O'Neill I found the name of the church to be PE Church of the Evangelist at the corner of Potomac and Dillon Sts, Canton, cornerstone was laid on 17th of May 1874. It is a mission station and is in charge of a lay reader. (Scharf History of Baltimore etc.). The 1879 City directory shows that S.E. Poultney was S. Eugene Poultney, supt, United Oil co warehouse, Clinton and Fifth Ave, dw cor Linden and Hoffman. I believe this solves your problem. Looks like Poultney was a lay reader at the church of the Evangelist that was a mission station in charge of a lay reader.

Karen: I found the following reprint in the Vertical File Collection of the Maryland Room at the Enoch Pratt Free Library (Main Branch) in Baltimore City. The article is entitled, "Floriculture in Maryland, a History of the Florist Industry." It appeared in December 1958 (number 57) of The Maryland Florist. The author was James B. Shanks who was a professor in horticulture (Agriculture) at the UMCP campus. I understand he is now retired. He does not cite specific bits of information but at the end has a list of Acknowledgements as follows: Notes of Joseph S. Merritt and D. Elmer Akehurst, Baltimore [he doesn't say where those notes are!]. Proceedings of the Society of American Florists [obtained through the courtesy of the Washington office] The American Florist vols 2, 3,& 5 The Florist Exchange Vols 12 and later The Florist Review Vols 5 and later. I have tried to search for these publications (most of which were established in the late 19th century, so the referenced volumes will date mostly 1900-1910 range) but have been completely unsuccessful in finding them. The UMCP has a few issues of the Maryland Florist but apparently not any of these references. Prof. Shanks specifically states that the Florist Review had a weekly column written by a Baltimore correspondent who mentioned all of the local florists from time to time. Wish I could find those early volumes. Hope this helps. Gary 4 June 2002 Baltimore http://home.att.net/~g.ruppert PS.

Thank you to Gary and Tammy for the florist information. Tammy: I have seen the Dundalk Florist site previously, but I don't believe there's a connection.

I am hoping someone on the list can give me some advice or direction.I am trying to determine which of 2 men is my Grandfather. It is either a Gilbert Leo RUPPRECHT (b. Apr 27 1909, Baltimore City d. Oct 22 1978, Baltimore MD) or Charles Leonard KOEHLERSCHMIDT (b. May 11 1908, Baltimore City d. Jul 31 1976, Baltimore City). My father is James Gilbert Leary (b. Sept 6 1935, Baltimore City). He never knew who his father was before he entered the military when he received his birth certificate. It lists Gilbert Leo RUPPRECHT. So, we always assumed this was the fact. he knew of Gilbert RUPPRECHT growing up because Gilbert would visit his mother Beatrice RUPPRECHT who lived with my fathers mother Mary Alice O'LEARY. Charles Leonard KOEHLERSCHMIDT married my father's mother Margarette O'LEARY, therefore his step-father. The problem arises with a recently found photograph of Margarette and Charles KOEHLERSCHMIDT. The photo was taken shortly before Charles was killed in a auto accident in 1976 aged 68. My father is now 67. They could be twins! The physical build, short legs, facial features, hairline, amount of grey in hair, posture etc is perfect. Everyone, without any prompting knew this to be my grandfather RUPPRECHT but it is a picture of Charles KOEHLERSCHMIDT. Margarette O'LEARY was from an Irish Catholic family. My father was born out of wed-lock and raised primarily by his grandmother. I know there is no easy answer, but I thought I post this to the list for any suggestions. Any help is appreciated and welcome! Thanks for reading. Gordon Leary gleary@cablespeed.com

Hi Karen: One of my ancestors, James Pentland (1820-1902) who was from County Down, Ireland was a florist in Baltimore City with a relatively large business. Because of this I have done a little research on florists in 19th-century Baltimore. I have one publication, The Maryland Florist, Number 57, December 1958 which was devoted to the History of Florists in Maryland. It is entitled Floriculture in Maryland, a History of the Florist Industry. It was written by James B. Shanks of the University of Maryland and was published by the Grower Divisions of the Allied Florists of Baltimore and Washington DC. Anyway, I found it quite useful because it mentions Pentland several times. I re-read it tonite and found the following mentions for the surname Cook: P. 2, "In 1873, the French breeder Pernet sent out to Madam Bellon. This [some flower or another] was imported by Anthony Cook of Baltimore who in turn sold several plants to Mr. Bancroft." P. 5, "We read that the Anthony Cook "Dean of Floricultural Trade" came to the US in 1840, was a specialist in roses and settled in Baltimore." P. 5, "Baltimore's beloved rosarian, John Cook, born in Germany in 1833, came to this country in 1853 and was employed first in New York City. Coming to Baltimore several years later, he worked first for the Hallidays [another florist] and then for several estates. He later purchased 30 acres near Catonsville and went in business for himself. His most famous rose introduction was the variety Radiance." P. 6, [quoting someone else] "We take great pride in the roster that bears the names of our Feasts, Cooks, Hallidays and Pentlands and of that great and learned man ... William D. Brackenridge." [apparently they were all big name florists in 19th century Baltimore]. The remainder of the 17 page report goes on to describe more recent events ... there were no more mentions of the name Cook. The author, frequently cites articles and advertisements from The American Florist vols 2, 3 & 5 as well as Proceedings of the Society of American Florists. I have never actually searched out these journals but suspect you could find more about the Cooks (and Pentlands) in those publications. Hope this provides you with some useful clues.

Hello, I am searching for information on any Cooks or Kochs who were florists in Baltimore circa 1860-1915. My GGGrandfather Mathew [Mathias] Cook [Koch] (1849-1932) came from Bad Durkheim, Germany to New Orleans (around age 21) via Baltimore. It's possible he spent a few years in Baltimore before arriving in New Orleans in 1870. His marriage license shows an Adolph Koch (possibly father or brother?) as a witness. A newspaper clipping celebrating his 40th wedding anniversary indicates his father was a florist in Baltimore. Mathew was a florist in New Orleans. The text of the clipping appears below: ************* Excerpted from the Daily Picayune, New Orleans, LA, July 1912 Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Cook on Thursday night at their home, 502 Millaudon street, celebrated the fortieth anniversary of their marriage. More than 100 guests, many of them relatives of the family, were at the dinner and the dance that followed. Mr. Cook is a leading florist of Carrollton. He came here from Germany forty-two years ago, and has been in the flower business since that time. His father and grandfather were florists in Baltimore and Germany. Mrs. Cook, before her marriage was Miss Carrie Rehm. They have four children, two sons and two daughters, and five grandchildren. ************** Any help is much appreciated. I will be happy to help anyone looking for New Orleans-related information in exchange. Thank you, Karen Cook Giurintano New Orleans LA

Tim, I called the phone number for Little Sisters of the Poor in Catonsville and the Sister I spoke with was very nice. She said to write a letter to them and they would check the records. It would take time, because the Sister that does this was away. Anyway, I lucked out and found my 1922 death cert, which was from the Little Sisters of the Poor and a Sister Florence was the informant. It was the father I was looking for. So now I don't even need to write to them. Thanks for all the responses, they were a great help.

Thank you for sharing - may be a big help down the road! Mary

Seeking information about my grandmother (and family), Elizabeth Ford, born about 1896-1898 in Maryland and died around 1933-1935 in Baltimore. She married Clarence Lilly in 1914. They had a baby, Norine, in 1915 - Norine died in 1916 and is buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Baltimore. My mother, Muriel Doris Lilly, was born in 1917. By the 1920 census, Elizabeth and Clarence were separated - divorced in 1921 and Clarence was awarded custody of my mother. I believe Elizabeth probably married again - efforts to locate a death certificate have been unsuccessful. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you - Mary Jane Huston Pettiss Parkersburg, WV Researching FORD, LILLY & BIBLEHEISER surnames in Maryland.

I don't know if this will help you, but I have information on Robert FORD, b 1785 who was married to Casandra Lancaster, b 1789. They were the parents of 9 children. Boyd, Robert, Mary, William, Harriet Tucker, Katherine, Benjamin L., Martha & Thomas. Some of these children used the spelling FOARD. I don't know if any of these children had a daughter by the name of Elizabeth or not. This FORD/FOARD family was in the Baltimore County/Baltimore area. There is some information on this family in the MD ST HIST SOC in Balt in the book "The LANCASTER FAMILY" A History of Thomas & Phebe Lancater of Bucks Co., PA & their Descendants. This book covers from 1711 to 1902 and is compiled by Harry Fred Lancaster. It is a great book, I don't have all the information on this family.
