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.

Poultney I have found a reference in an 1879 Baltimore City German newspaper for someone whose funeral was conducted by S.E. Poultney from the "Kirche der Holy Engels," which although it is a weird mix of English and German I'm translating as the Church of the Holy Angels. This person died at his residence in Canton, was raised Lutheran but married (in a Methodist church) an Irish woman whose religion is unknown. Now, I can't find any church named Holy Angels, at least not in Scharff's History of Baltimore City nor in Kanely's Directory of Maryland Church Records. Does anyone have a clue? Does anyone have Kanely's book on Maryland ministers who is willing to check for me?
