Pat: The State Archives has indices to early wills and administrative accounts. Even if people did not leave wills, there may be an administrative account that lists heirs.

Dear Beverly, Thanks for your personals insight and links to history about Washington Village/Pigtown. My great grandparents (George Dallas and Elizabeth (nee Brown) Scharf) lived at 1012 Scott Street at the beginning of the 20th century. My ggrandfather started life as a huckster (working with his father William J. Scharf), but learned to be a boilermaker. My grandfather Scharf and his new bride of two years also lived for awhile with his parents on Scott Street according to his 1918 WWI registration card. My dear uncle Thomas Marion Scharf (US Army at Normandy and Battle of the Bulge) was born at this house. My great aunt Nellie May Scharf Strube lived at 1025 West Barre. Her husband worked for the B&A RR. I visited the neighborhood a few years ago and marvelled at our close it was to downtown and the new stadiums. After I stopped by the public library on Washington Blvd and did some reading I learned a bit more about this area of Baltimore and could add extra dimensions to my genealogy research and understanding of my family. Thanks for the links -- very helpful!!

That was the way it was before everyone had telephones. You could get word that someone left a message, someone was going to call at a certain time, or someone was actually on the phone and so you ran as fast as you could to the corner store. Later, when phone booths were in stores, you could have some privacy when someone called that number by closing the door which was very hot during this time of the year.

Hello folks, I found someone listed in the 1899 Directory at 1416 Anthony Street, and wonder if that would be the same location that shows up on a MapQuest search today? Today, it is out the far Northeast corner of Baltimore, south of Belair Rd, near Moores Run Park. The individual I am tracking shows up right in the city in all other records I've found, so I wondered if there might have been another Anthony St in the city earlier. Thanks, —T.
