Vicchio, Stephen J. "Baltimore's Burial Practices, Mortuary Art, and Notions of Grief and Bereavement, 1780-1900." Maryland Historical Magazine 81 (Summer 1986): 134-148.
Notes: Vicchio examines the history of the Westminster Burial Ground, established in Baltimore in 1787 by the First Presbyterian Church, as an example of funeral practices among the city's Protestants in the period 1780-1900. He distinguishes three periods: 1780-1810, characterized by simple stone markers and minimal ritual; 1810-1840, marked by greater class distinction, evident, for instance, in architectural embellishments, the early stages of a burial industry, and rituals emphasizing family loss; and 1840-1900, when the romantic view of death gave rise to "rural cemeteries," like Green Mount, the burial industry became highly established (adding flowers, embalming, and elaborate caskets), and sentimentalization of death prevailed.

Zmora, Nurith. "A Rediscovery of the Asylum: The Hebrew Orphan Asylum Through the Lives of Its First Fifty Orphans." American Jewish History 72 (March 1988): 452-75.
Notes: Examining the early history of the Baltimore Hebrew Orphan Asylum, established in 1873 in west Baltimore, Zmora provides evidence to refute the interpretation that such institutions were characterized by detention and represented the breakdown of family ties. Her study draws upon a variety of records to provide a profile of the orphanage's early inmates and the families from which they came. Zmora contends that the profile indicates the special vulnerability of young widows and the difficulty of placing orphaned siblings in the same home, but argues for the relative success of the institution in reuniting children with members of their families.

Notes: A comparison of the experiences of two Catholic colonial women - Jane Doyne, an elite woman from the lower Western Shore, and Jenny, an enslaved woman on the Eastern Shore. Roman Catholicism was a significant part of their lives, and as women they served an important role in maintaining and transmitting the Catholic faith. However, their different status had an impact on their religious experiences.
