Martha (nee Joiner) Scharf (1818 - 1900) of Baltimore
My 2nd great grandmother was Martha Joiner born in Maryland in 1818.In January 1836 she married William J. Scharf in the Methodist Episcopal Church in the City of Baltimore.They had ten children.William died in 1896 and Martha died in June 1900.
Martha was not born in Baltimore, but she was born in Maryland.Her 1900 death certificate says that she was a resident of Baltimore City for "64 years" which tracks to her marriage date of 1836.
Here is her obituary from the Baltimore Sun, June 29, 1900:
SCHARF -- On June 27, at 6:20 o'clock P.M., Martha A. Scharf, aged eighty-two, beloved wife of the late Wm. J. Scharf.Funeral from her daughter's residence, 404 Poppleton Street, Friday, June 29, at 4 o'clock P.M.Interment private.Please omit flowers."
My questions are1)where was Martha born in Maryland?2) Does anyone know who her parents were?
Many thanks!
