JD, Funny you should ask...I spent yesterday emailing to every Methodist Church I found that had an email address... My mother's families were Methodist and Lutheran... The Methodist side: Jones, Eugene and Ruth Jane Frazier. I know they attended East Baltimore Station Methodist Church, on E. Baltimore Street, at least for a while, because my grandmother was baptized by Rev. Harry Boggs in 1883 at that church. I would love to know if there is any mention of Eugene Edward JONES, with the possibility of a marriage to Annie WILLIAMSON, sometime prior to his marriage to Ruth Jane FRAZIER on January 16, 1878. The family bible lists a marriage for Eugene and Annie, on July 25, but the year is not readable. Ruth may have been married to a William FRAZIER prior to her marriage to Eugene. Her maiden name may have been CULLEN. She had a child before her marriage to Eugene, William FRAZIER (born 12/1868) Eugene and Ruth had two children that I know of: Emma (born 1883) Walter (born 1880) but, I believe there may have been other babies who died young... It is also believed that Eugene had been adopted, so if there are any mentions of adoptions, I would love to hear about it. The Lutheran families were Johan and Johanna SCHAAF. They were married in 1870 (12/14/1870). They had 4 sons, but I only know names of 3:William Hugo (1880), John (father also went by John sometimes), and Julius. I believe that Johanna's maiden name was HUBKA or HUBKAR, and she may have used the first name Jennie. Thank you so much for your offer of look ups.

You need to check with Lonely Lane Museum and Archive. However, I have been told that this church (East Baltimore Station) still exists and their records are with them if they even exist still. The Methodists do not have a requirement for churches to keep all their records or to turn old records over to the archives. lovinmus@bcpl.net to email them 410-889-4458 to call If you are ever in Baltimore, a trip to this great, underutilized resource is a must. I have found a wealth of information (marriage, baptisms, deaths, moving to new churches) including personal research notes from my grandmother left 50 years ago! Also PLEASE consider joining. It will be the best $10 you ever spend.
