Dayhoff: Historical markers dedicated for the Henryton
Nursing School, Tuberculosis Sanatorium

About 50 folks huddled along the shoulder of Henryton Road
at the entrance of the historic Henryton State Hospital complex May 14 to
dedicate two roadside historic markers. The sun shined brightly on the
ceremonies in a rare reprieve in the recent streak of endless days of rainfall.

No, the celebrants were not there to dedicate an ark, but it
nearly took an act of God to get the state of Maryland to tacitly acknowledge
the very existence of the historic segregated facility for the treatment of
African Americans suffering from tuberculosis and the segregated nursing school
that was once located there — far out of sight of urban Baltimore and the seat
of state government in Annapolis.

Noted civil rights leader John Lewis Jr., the 2nd vice
president of the Carroll County NAACP, was the master of ceremonies. Other
community leaders, such as Pam Zappardino, Charles Collyer, Virginia and
Charles Harrison, Jean Lewis, Del. Susan Krebs R-District 5, the Rev. Douglas
Sands and Maryland NAACP president Gerald G. Stansbury were on hand to share in
the ceremonies.

This writer began looking into the history of the hospital
in the early 1970s when it caught my attention during an assignment to research
the history of hospitals in Carroll County for a project for what was
then-Carroll County General Hospital.

Over the years, researching the history of hospital has
difficult. What little information on the hospital that was found was often
conflicting, inconsistent, and only appeared in anecdotal accounts; often
without a comprehensive context. Many historians contacted in the 1970s were
barely aware of the facility.

Statues and statuesque in Carroll County

By Kevin E. Dayhoff – Eagle Archives, Carroll Eagle – Baltimore Sun. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html

Many would be surprised to learn that Blaze Starr, who passed away on June 15, is not the only creative statuesque figure with a Carroll County connection.

Another famous Carroll County artist, William Henry Rinehart, now has his works of sculpture on display at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.

Starr was a famous stripper and burlesque performer, another exhibitor of sorts. According to an article in the Sun, "In her day [she] was perhaps Baltimore's best-known figure." She was "a successful businesswoman as owner of the 2 O'Clock Club on East Baltimore Street, [who] was so nonthreatening to local morals that she appeared in an advertising campaign for Baltimore Gas and Electric Co."

A national celebrity, many locales throughout the country claim her, including New Orleans, where she had a torrid affair with the then-governor of Louisiana, Earl Long.

While she began a lifelong relationship with Baltimore in 1950, many may not be aware that for many years she called Eldersburg, in southern Carroll County, her home.

An artist of many talents, she was a striking redhead who was friendly and talkative. She also owned a store at the then-Carrolltowne Center, where she sold her handmade jewelry. That was where this writer interviewed her on several occasions in the 1980s.

The work of Rinehart, meantime, can be "seen … in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Baltimore Museum of Art," according to the Walters Art Museum website.

Rinehart was born into a prosperous farming family in Union Bridge on Sept. 13, 1825 Read more here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html

Reproduction of “Love Reconciled with Death” by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart Corner of North Main Street and East Broadway Kevin Dayhoff July 5, 2007

According to an undated brochure, “Union Bridge Walking Tour,” which I retrieved in June 2009:

“‘Love Reconciled with Death’ was sculpted by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart (1825-1874) as a memorial to the wife of Baltimore art connoisseur and philanthropist, William T. Walters.

“The original sculpture is located in Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore. The memorial was selected by the Town of Union Bridge to be reproduced and installed in 2007 as a tribute to the sculptor.

“Rinehart was born into a farming family near Union Bridge and became known as one of America's most-skilled nineteenth-century sculptors. One of his best-known works is the relief known as The History of Justice on the bronze doors of the United States Senate Chamber in Washington.”

William Rinehart's artwork can be seen at the Historical Society of Carroll Co.

June 22, 2015

Historical Society of Carroll County recently wrote, “A recent Baltimore Sun article [http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html – “Remembering Carroll's statuesque and statue sculptor,” by Kevin E. Dayhoff – Eagle Archives] notes that ‘the work of Rinehart, meantime, can be seen in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.’

An earlier form of Rinehart's sensitive bust of his mother was the first evidence of the young artist's talent. After his mother's death in 1868, he sent home for the work and for one of her caps. The artist prepared several plaster-casts of the new bust for presentation to his brothers and a marble one for himself. This example was probably given to his older brother Evan Thomas who gave it to his daughter, the donor.
