This is the text, without the actual lists of removals, from the booklet Record of the old Methodist Burial Ground. FIRST PRESENTLY KNOWN CEMETERY OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN BALTIMORE CITY, MARYLAND, FOUNDED BY BISHOP FRANCIS ASBURY IN 1784. BALTIMORE, BEING CENTRALLY LOCATED IN REFERENCE TO THE SPREAD OF METHODISM WAS SOON RECOGNIZED AS ITS CHIEF PLACE. THE METHODIST PEOPLE OF THE CITY WERE INTELLIGENT, ENTERPRISING, AND DEEPLY DEVOTED AND MANY OF THEM WERE IN VERY COMFORTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES. On the 12th of August, 1916, a Bill of Complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City for the condemnation and sale of the Methodist Burial Ground, then located on the Philadelphia Road (now Pulaski Highway) and Potomac Street, in the then extreme end of Baltimore City. Prior to 1850 this was just over the border of Baltimore County and City. Trustees were appointed by the Court. After eighteen years had elapsed, on September 9, 1935, a Decree of the court was granted against the Trustees, namely; C. L. and F. M. Merriken, and William Deale Roycroft, in the condemnation proceedings and the sale of the cemetery property to the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, and ratifying the sale of the cemetery property to Baltimore City for the purpose of widening the thoroughfare which was to become Pulaski Highway. (This proceeding is contained in Equity Docket 56-A Circuit Court of Baltimore City, January 1, 1916 to December 31, 1916 - Miscellaneous - pgs. 353, 54,55,56,57,58,59. pgs. 679,80,81,82,83,84 and 685. And page 598. The Oaklawn Cemetery of Baltimore was designated to receive and re-inter the bodies remaining in the cemetery. From 1916 to 1935 it is assumed that near relatives and descendants were located in some instances and that some bodies were removed and interred in other cemeteries. Checking with the Oaklawn Cemetery during this research it was determined that these bodies were buried there but no record can be found of any names or the number re-interred. The Superintendent "thought" that there was close to three thousand. A subsequent lengthy search at the Lovely Lane Methodist Church Museum (St. Paul & Twenty-First Sts., Baltimore) located a plat executed by the Atlas Engineering Company in 1935, preparatory to the removal of the bodies. This plat contained the numbers of the lots and the location, [ad] the names on the remaining 410 stones. There were also found in the vault of the Museum two small Minster’s books containing the names of some of the lot holders, together with a few tattered original deeds. These books were un-names and undated. When the plat was studied and the numbers computed it was found the 2,777 bodies had been removed to Oaklawn. In the years which had elapsed between 1916 and 1935, the cemetery was in a state of abandonment. Wholesale destructive vandalism occurred, vaults were caved in and entered and name markers were destroyed or removed, thus obliterating identity. A recapitulation of the names is as follows; Circuit Court Proceedings 640 Minister’s Lot Books 148 Engineer’s Plat 230 Original Deeds 6 Total accounted for: 1024 Total number removed: 2777 Unidentified... 1793 The list of those accounted for will be found on the following pages. This research executed, complied and edited by LAURA CATHERINE AULD LAFOE 1960 Genealogical Chairman Janet Montgomery Chapter Maryland State Society. Thirteen pages of names follow this introduction.

The booklet was compiled by Laura Catherine Auld Lafoe, Genealogical Chairman, Janet Montgomery Chapter of the Maryland State Society in 1960. I made a photocopy during my visit to Maryland. My ancestors were buried in this Methodist Episcopal cemetery and moved to Oaklawn Cemetery. The booklet contains the names of 1,024 of the 2,777 bodies moved to Oaklawn. The following text is from the booklet: On the 12th of August, 1916, a Bill of Complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City for the condemnation and sale of the Methodist Burial Ground, then located on the Philadelphia Road (now Pulaski Highway) and Potomac Street, in the then extreme end of Baltimore City.

Ancestry has a book containing the church register up to 1857. Look for "Register of the First English Lutheran Church, Baltimore." It lists who they buried, but I didn't see a cemetery mentioned anywhere, including the lengthy church history at the front. That may mean there was no specific cemetery used. 2. Contact the current First English Lutheran Church. http://www.firstenglishchurch.org/whoweare.html http://www.firstenglishchurch.org/ 3. Contact the Evangelical Lutheran archives in Gettysburg, which might have some knowledge on it if any one cemetery was regularly used.
