I posted this on Baltimore Old Families and was requested to share on the Greater Hampden Heritage Alliance FB page.
Baltimore City Maryland Lamplighters - 1st photo is my great grandfather, Leroy Edward Kidd, circa1933 who in March of 1894 was appointed by the mayor to be a lamplighter. (My great grandfather lived in Hampden and was a carpenter by trade.) The other two photos are from the Irish Railroad Worker's Museum Big Pivot Issue XLVI, Lamplighters and Bigger Stories. Also, a member of the Baltimore Old Families posted 3 newspaper articles about my great grandfather being a lamplighter.
I need background on this photo that I found in my grandfather's (Jimmie Pearce Sr b. 1905, Woodberry) items.
Pictured is the Mt. Vernon Shop #baseball team . I believe the photo was taken circa 1915 given the Spalding Official Base Ball Score Book which appears in the photo. I think it is No. 4.
Can anyone provide background on this ball club, what league they played in? What organization would be in possession of Hampden & Woodberry league photos and history? #MakeFamilyHistory7

From Shepherd to Leader: Moses' Transformation: The weekly Torah portion (Shemot) includes the narrative of God speaking to Moses at the Burning Bush. How does this incident help to propel Moses from obscurity to the most central role in leadership for the Israelites? What makes a leader? What sorts of experiences prepare one to serve others? We'll also reflect on the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, in light of the annual holiday.

This a picture of my great aunt and uncle, great grand mother, my father and sister in the back of a house on Elm Ave. My father's parents also lived on Elm Ave I remember going to visit them. Thru Ancestry.com I also found other members of my family who lived in Hampden. I would be more than happy to join to share my experiences and explore the NEW HAMPDEN.
Tonight (Sunday September 15th at 7:00 pm) the Baltimore Bird Club is sponsoring the fall Chimney Swift migration in your neighborhood at the Hampden Bookbindery. Come watch a couple thousand swifts descend into the Bookbindery chimney for their evening roost! All are welcome.
Directions: Hampden Bookbindery. From I-83, take the Cold Spring exit headed east to Keswick Road (about 5 lights). Turn right and take Keswick 1.3 miles to 33rdStreet. Turn right on 33rdStreet, then left on Elm Street. Follow Elm Street to the end where it curves to the left and park in the Mill Center parking lot. Then walk back up to the Bookbindery—across from the chain link fence.
GPS: If using GPS, search for 3100 Elm Avenue
I am curious about something. I was ready your pamphlet and it talked of Brick Hill and on the map it shows it near Woodberry. I know that Darby Street has always been referred to as Brick Hill as long as I can remember
and in the the 1920 census and some before has Darby Street as Brick Hill. But in your pamphlet there is no reference to Darby Street as also being called Brick Hill.
Thought people might find this interesting...

I enjoyed the cemetery talk today and it occurs to me to mention that there were 2 estates predating Roland Park, near northern Hampden that might have used that hillside also. Oakland and Woodlawn described here, in the same way that Prospect Hill in Towson came from later Epsom Farm
I have indicated that i will attend the St. Mary's tour. How do I register? I would prefer the 11:00 group.
