Baltimore City Nineteenth-Century Photos
Baltimore Retort and Fire Brick Company

Bonnie Proctor has had more than a bit of good luck
in finding
her ancestor, Jakob Yost in old Baltimore photos.
First, she connected with
Carolyn
Behrendt who had submitted a group photo from the Baltimore
Fire Brick Company of Locust Point to this web
site.
Bonnie recognized Jakob Yost in that photo!
Next, a relative still living in Baltimore not only
confirmed Bonnie's identification
but gave her an original copy of that same group
photo as well as two others,
also taken of the Baltimore Retort and Fire Brick
Company. A great story ...
Jakob Yost has not yet been identified in this group photo when Baltimore Brick Company was located on Gay Street, before 1890. Possibly Jakob would have been in the area that has broken off [and is missing] |
Jakob Yost is at the middle of the front row, just to the right of the fellow wearing a tie. |
Jakob Yost is in the second row from the bottom, fourth from the right. This is another copy of the same photo submitted by Carolyn Behrendt. To view an advertisement for the Baltimore Retort
