    1. [MD-BALTIMORECITY] The Antietam Battle and the Many Fallen Soldiers--Frederick County Genealogical Meeting
    2. SAVE THIS DATE---Frederick County Genealogical Meeting, Saturday April 9, 2011 1pm Homewood at Crumland Farm Visit www.frecogs.com for directions. Refreshments served. Visitors welcome. A very special presentation by one of FRECOGS’ favorite speakers. Civil War is about to begin and Maryland is right in the middle. Some of our ancestors were pro-union and some were pro-confederate. Sometimes it was in the same family; brother against brother. On April 12, 2011, the civil war beginning will be reaching its sesquicentennial. Over the next four years many anniversaries of important events during the civil war will be occurring. The Antietam Battle is still the event where in one day the most people died on American soil. THE ANTIETAM BATTLE AND THE MANY FALLEN SOLDIERS-- Speaker: John Nelson of Hagerstown will speak on the Antietam Battle and hunt for the names of all the fallen soldiers and their burial locations. Called the "Bloodiest One Day Battle in American History", 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing after twelve hours of savage combat on September 17, 1862. The Battle of Antietam ended the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia’s first invasion into the North and led to Abraham Lincoln’s issuance of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. TIMELINE: November 6, 1860 - Abraham Lincoln, who had declared "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free..." is elected president, the first Republican, receiving 180 of 303 possible electoral votes and 40 percent of the popular vote December 20, 1860 - South Carolina secedes from the Union followed within two months by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. February 9, 1861 - The Confederate States of America is formed with Jefferson Davis, a West Point graduate and former U.S. Army officer, as president April 12, 1861 - At 4:30 a.m. Confederates under Gen. Pierre Beauregard open fire with 50 cannons upon Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. THE CIVIL WAR BEGINS. April 17, 1861 - Virginia secedes from the Union, followed within five weeks by Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina, thus forming an eleven state Confederacy with a population of 9 million, including nearly 4 million slaves. The Union will soon have 21 states and a population of over 20 million September 17, 1862 - The bloodiest day in U.S. military history as Gen. Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Armies are stopped at Antietam in Maryland by McClellan and numerically superior Union forces. By nightfall 23,000 men are dead, wounded, or missing. Lee then withdraws to Virginia. Confederate dead lay by the fence bordering Farmer Miller's 40 acre Cornfield at Antietam where the intense rifle and artillery fire cut every corn stalk to the ground "as closely as could have been done with a knife." September 22, 1862 - Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves issued by President Lincoln.

    3. There are times when you can get medical records. When you are the executitar of a will or the next of kin. It is hard to get them but you might be able to check with a lawyer and see. In this case I don't think they would allow you to have them.

I know through history Bayview Asylum during the mid 1880's was for pysch. patients, but the hospital was renamed Baltimore City Hospital and it was used for acute care, another for chronic care, and tuberculosis and pyschiatric patients. It's also where the poor were sent. Does anyone know how you can get old medical records from around 1930. I would like to know why Howard Winklemyer was there and what he died of.

    2. John Siemon
    3. Dawn, The 1914 Sanborn map shows a row house at 911 E. Stiles, no indication that it was any special facility. The same house is still there. This is in Little Italy, 1/2 block west of St. Leo's church and directly across the street from St. Leo's school. If you put the address in Google maps and go to Street View, you can see what it looks like today, fixed up pretty nice from the outside appearance. You can look at the 1922 Baltimore City Directory at www.archive.org but it does not list him.

Is there a way that I can find out online what type of facility this is? I have tried an online city directory for 1920 and did not find anything.
