PRESIDENT'S LETTER
With this first President's letter of 2006, I would like to wish all our membership a Happy New Year. The hobby year began for me at the Florida United Numismatists (FUN) Annual Convention and Coin Show in Orlando, Florida. Two Maryland Token and Medal Society members (Bill Stratemeyer & I) went to the show and we were joined by past MD TAMS member Ernie Turnes who now lives in Myrtle Beach, SC. The three of us really enjoyed the three days we spent at the show. Next to the ANA annual convention, this is probably the largest show of the year in the United States. Even with such a large show, there were not that many dealers that specialized in tokens and medals.
Our first MD TAMS meeting of the year was the annual Swap Meet in January. Attendance was marginal. Certainly not the decent crowd we drew last year. Regardless, I believe those that attended really enjoyed the afternoon. There was a lot of trading, buying/selling and maybe just as importantly, a great chance to talk to other collectors about the hobby. One I can learn a lot during these sessions. The refreshments were very good as usual - - thanks to Dot Hajek and Marge
Burford. It was really good to see Jane Sears back again after a recent hiatus. Jane has been very busy during her time at home as you can see from some of the Journal articles she penned. Stay tuned for more interesting material in the future.
i This weekend is the first Baltimore Area Numismatic Coalition (BANC) show of 2006. Thanks to Bob Ruby and Journal ' Editor, Will Mumford, we have planned out all the 2006 meetings and BANC shows and even have the date for the 2007 Swap Meet. Please mark your calendars so you can be at all these events. Remember too that I am looking for volunteers to speak or make a short presentation at future meetings. Everyone was extremely pleased with Mitzi Stratemeyer's presentation at the December meeting. This is a hard act to follow, but I know we must have others that are willing to share some interesting areas of their hobby or personal interest with the membership. If you do, please let me know.
Speaking of sharing information with other collectors, make sure you take advantage of the "Show and Tell" section of all our business meetings. Bring in your most recent find, share a special item from your collection, or discuss some news from our hobby with your fellow hobbyists. Everyone can and should participate in "Show and Tell".

CHRISTIAN SMITH FAMILY CANNING
By: Bernie Bodt R - 282
An interesting story related by Charles Smith, was about the volume of tomatoes his father and he produced. Although, his father William ceased canning in 1938, he continued to grow tomatoes well into the 1950’s, which were sold to Edward V. Stockham’s cannery in Havre de Grace. In 1951 the father and Charles entered a contest sponsored by University of Maryland to grow the most tomatoes per acre. The contestants were required to grow a minimum of 4 acres and measure the production per acre. The Smith’s won this competition by producing 16.04 tons per acre. In doing so the Smiths were awarded membership in the 10 Ton Club and Charles was presented a fine leather jacket. See their award certificate below.

Charles also shared detailed information about his ancestors involvement in early canning activities in Harford County. Much of this information is taken from a document titled Portrait and Biographical Record of Harford and Cecil Counties Maryland dated 1 897.
When Christian Smith(1859-1918) was twenty-one, his uncle Fred Burkley took him into the canning business as a partner. This partnership continued

four years in the Creswell/Belcamp area of Harford County until 1883, when Christian withdrew to form a partnership with his older brother, Alexander (1857-1918). In 1890 Alexander wishing to withdraw from the business, sold his interest to Christian who continued in the caiming business on his own. Tokens exist for A. Smith in Carsins, MD located approximately 2 miles west of Aberdeen.
There are no tokens known to exist for Christian, or his uncle, Fred Burkely. From can labels it is known that Christian acted as a broker. Christian partnered with Rouse and Webster in Bel Air in this enterprise.
Below is an example of one of this partnership’s labels.
The younger brother of Christian, Frederick W. Smith (1862-1946) was involved in the canning of Scotland Brand com and tomatoes in the Belcamp area. Tokens and labels exist for this operation. Below is an example of the Scotland brand label.
Two sons of Frederick W. continued to can in the same area. Frederick Nelson Smith (1894-1960) and William Ellsworth Smith (1897-1982) operated independently. Tokens for Frederick are shown below. A number

of F.N.S. tokens are overstrike on initials D.C. This situation is due to I
F.N.S.’s wife being the daughter of Daniel P. Callahan (1889-191 1) another "
prominent canner in Harford County. |
When William ceased operations in 1938 all of his tokens were destroyed
according to his son, Charles. However, he remembers the tokens were I
brass with the initials W.E.S. and the number 3. Keep an eye out for these.
As to what happened to his family’s tokens, Charles said his aunt attempted |
to destroy all of the tokens by burning them in a pit. In later years these tokens would surface each year as he tilled his garden. This explains why I
most of the tokens are stained and corroded.

MOUNTAIN ROAD OF ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY... PAST AND PRESENT
BY. W. WALLACE STONE R-47
An article buried in the “county news” section of the Capital Newspaper serving Annapolis attracted my eye with the headline reading “Mountain Road gets 17*^ light”. To any collector who has Anne Arundel County picker’s tokens in their collection, the mention of Mountain Road brings to mind the names of almost two dozen farmers who issued tokens to pay the migrant workers used to harvest the crops at picking time. Using Willard R. Mumford’s excellent book, “Strawberries, Peas & Beans” as a reference, it highlighted that there had been, in years past, between 1 5 and 21 farmers owning property that hsted Mountain Road as their address.
The “17^^ light” article was a contemporary report on the problems encountered by the State Highway Administration that required a year and a half to resolve prior to the completion for the new stop light at a busy intersection on a heavily traveled inter-county route. The final hurdle was cleared when the State was required to purchase roadside property in order to erect the large metal support poles necessary to hold the wires and cables needed for a multi comer stop light.
Mountain Road runs West to East beginning near State route 2 and route 97, in central Anne Arundel County and terminates at the entrance of Gibson Island located directly on the Chesapeake Bay. A distance of 1 1 miles. The road was clearly shown on the 1878 G.M. Hopkins atlas map of Anne Arundel County, with a name change occurring a few miles west of Gibson Island, to that of Bodkin Road. Today the Bodkin Road name no longer relates to Mountain Road. The final section of paving on the road was completed in the year 1938. Prior to the paving of the dirt road, there had been no stop lights, although there were stop signs.
Today the population of Pasadena, which encompasses a great deal of the Mountain Road area, as reported by the 2000 census was 12,093. An estimate for the entire region that Mountain Road traverses could put the population figure at 20,000. Quite an increase fi'om 100 years ago !
An alphabetical listing of those farmers with direct links to Mountain Road follows and m the cases where date of birth is known it will be noted .

Today there are few farms remaining in this region of the County, however one of the last holdouts is the Schramm family who for the past few years have farmed only a 20 acre spread, selling fiuit and vegetables from their roadside stand during the summer and fall. Prior to the mid 1990’s the family had raised turkeys on a considerably larger portion of their farm. As times have changed they have downsized to their current acreage, and as of this past fall season they have not decided if they will continue farming or retire. The family is one of the senior farm families both in Anne Arundel County as well as a Mountain Road resident. They were quoted in a recent newspaper interview “we will have to let you know next spring if we are to keep farming, or just retire”. Ms. Emma Schramm, 77 who owns the farm with her two brothers. Bill, 79 and Louis, 80 and a cousin Evelyn, 60.
Ms. Schramm also asked the newspaper interviewer, “Does anyone have a pill to make us young again ?”

Bay g!hore parK
by
Jane glears
(Edited byRiiSS g:ears)
Tbe United "Railujays and Electric Company opened tbeir water and land amusement parK on August u, 1906. Bay g:bore ParK was located on 30 acres of land w miles from Baltimore at the moutb of the Patapscopjver. Built as the last railway amusement parK, its was a rival topiverview ParK.
During the opening night of the parK, there was a power failure on most of the CJnited’s lines on the east side of Baltimore. Thousands of people were stranded along the lines until the early morning hours. Even with the delay in its opening, nothing stopped the success of the parK.
Architects Otto g:imons and Theodore Wells pietsch designed the parK with colonial style parK pavilions. Three huge casinos were opened to the breezes with large porches and large roofs. Throughout the parK were walKways and beautiful flowing fountains. Many varieties of flowers and shrubs were planted around the area.
^Ketches by Howard frech, showed the many activities Bay ^hore ParK offered to the public.

The Charm of the parK was that it had virtually everything a person could want in an all round summer recreation. It was great for the whole family. The family could get out of the hot and dusty city. Children could play in the sand or in the salt water, it was an ideal location for Sunday g:chooi and organization outings.
The parK could be reached by car or trolley. The g:parrows point line was serviced by cars Known as the ■RpcKets". The trolley ride tooK i hour on long trestles over Bear, Jones, North Point, and ^hallow CreeKs. The cars ran every 15 minutes. ■Reaching the parK, the cars pulled into a beautiful great white city with every modern comfort of the day. The maintence of the parK was done every spring and all its woodworK gleamed bright, fresh and white. Blooming flowers made it iook liKe a picture postcard. At night the parK was luminated by thousands of lights.
"Red "RpcKer trolley
In the large shade groved pinic grounds that covered over a mile on the bay frontage, families could settle in with their lunches or dinner for a relaxing time. A beautiful view of the ChesapeaKe Bay was enjoyed by all. fine lawns, well Kept shrubbery, and a wooded area dotted the whole parK.
A miniature golf course and archery range was entertainment for the adults. The hotel "Mansion House" was available for guests.
The parK could boast of having saltwater as well as land activities. The boardwalK stretched across the frontage of the waterside of the parK. A concrete pier extended out 1000 feet to taKe on boats with passengers. It also served as a pleasure pier. There was a 1/2 mile of parK on the ChesapeaKe Bay. If a person waded out in the water almost to the end of the pier, the water would not be over tneir head.
Besides salt water bathing, one could use the Sliding boards, wooden rafts, speed boats and the "aeroplane swing". Or they could just sun on the white sandy beach. It was the safest bathing beach on the Bay.

THE H.B.KENNERLY & SON CANNING TOKENS. ...END OF AN ERA
BY. W. WALLACE STONE. R-47.
While not the leader of the canning industry on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Wicomico County was not far from its neighboring counties in establishing canneries well before the turn of the century in 1900. One of the companies to operate at a later time frame was the Harold B. Kennerly Sr. canning company of Nanticoke. They founded the company in 1935, a time when few were entering this field of commerce. The company has remained in business on a full time basis until this year of 2003, a span of 70 years.
This past summer while researching the frozen seafood as well as the dried seafood industry on Maryland’s Eastern shore, which tied in directly to the operations of the H.B. Kennerly Co., a small story appeared in the pages of the Washington Post Newspaper. This might be considered as a business obituary. However I doubt that it’s original intent was such. The following is a direct quote from the Saturday, August 27, 2005 edition of the Washington Post.
“SEAFOOD PLANT GOES OUT OF BUSINESS
A Wicomico County seafood plant has closed after more than 70 years in the industry , putting dozens of employees out of work.
The company dates to 1935 as H.B. Kermerly & Son Inc., an oyster production and distribution plant that supplied frozen and fresh mollusks nationwide, Harold Kermerly Jr. said.
It became Nanticocke Seafood about 1950 and was run by Kermerly and his father, Harold Barton Kermerly Sr.
Since 1997, Nanticoke Food LLC processed and shipped shellfish and other frozen food at the plant.
“We made the first oyster stew for Campbell’s. We removed the shell and sent them to Campbell’s”, Kennerly said. “We continued to make oyster stew for chain stores nationwide.”
The closing resulted in lost jobs for at least 40 plant workers and was a blow to economic Development officials whose financial backing almost a decade ago kept the company afloat.”
The tenure of the Kermerly Co. was considerably longer than the majority of packing as well as carming companies on the Eastern Shore. From R. Lee Burton’s excellent history of the canning industry, “Carmeries of the Eastern Shore” by Tidewater Publishers, many of the almost 1,000 carming, packing and preserving companies from the 1880’s through the mid to late 1950’s did not survive for more than two generations. Numerous factors enter into the final equation as to their closirres. Ever increasing State and Federal regulations aimed at the food processing industry, higher labor rates, and the extremely high cost today of medical and health insurance have all combined to force many small to medium firms to close their doors and call it qirits. The Kermerly Co. being in business for 70 years has been one of the leaders in longevity.
Several varieties of the H.B. Kermerly & Son tokens are shown below
