Renie otherwise known as, Grampy. She also had a shore property on the Bodkins. She used to make fried red tomatoes, dipped in flour, then salt and pepper on them while they were in the cast iron skillet.

Spreading to America about the time of the American Revolution, these societies became the pattern of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Created at the Christmas Conference in 1784. Held in The Lovely Lane Church then at the corner of Lovely Lane and Light Street, it was here that Bishop Asbury was ordained. Due to its quick growth, a new building was erected at Redwood and Light Street. This the first Light Street Church was also identified as the Baltimore City Station of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1834, under the efforts of a prominent Layman, a chapel belonging to a Protestant Episcopal Congregation at William and Churchill Streets was purchased. It remained a part of City Station until 1894 when it became a separate charge and was known as South Baltimore Station commonly referred to as "Big William Street". With the growing area to the South, differences of language, worship styles and doctrines, distances to walk, clustered communities gave rise to the organization of five other churches, all with the Methodist or Wesleyan traditions. Light Street Methodist Protestant was established in 1852. Lowe Memorial, originally South Baltimore Free Methodist Society, was established in 1873. In 1874, Fort Avenue Methodist Episcopal began as a mission of the Baltimore City Missionary and Church Extension Society. In 1878 it became necessary to enlarge and again in 1890, additions were made. Continuing growth culminated with a rebuilt church in l924. Patterson Memorial began about 1880 at Charles and Ostend Streets. A tent, a single room structure preceded the building at Hanover and Clement Streets in 1889. Variously known as Bethel, Cook Memorial, after a brief closing in 1894, a Day Nursery was organized in 1895. And became a Mission of Mount Vernon Place. In 1899, endowed by a wealthy merchant, it became known as Patterson Memorial. It continued as such until around 1958 when it became a part of the Good Shepherd merger. In 1879 another Protestant group, possibly influenced by the number of German speaking immigrants in the area, organized the Olive Branch Independent Methodist Church. Starting in a building housing the keeper to a grave yard, a one story brick structure was built at South Charles and Fort Avenue. Here in 1889, having joined with another mission at Light Street and McComas, it became the Sixth Church of the Evangelical Association of North America and the name was changed to the Olive Branch Evangelical Church. To accommodate the gradual growth, on February 19, 1905 a new church was dedicated. This with various structural changes to the Sanctuary, additions for class rooms, administrative and program activities - remains the center for worship and all other needs of the newly merged Olive Branch - Good Shepherd Congregation . Several denominational mergers have resulted in duplication of space and pastoral leadership. Despite reduction of supportive income, the United Methodist Churches have been reluctant to give up their individual identities. However the need to use the lay leadership more effectively and have a more unified Christian witness became a driving force toward merging the various entities. The merger of Light Street and South Baltimore Station in 1958 becoming the Galilean Methodist Church. Soon there followed a union with Lowe Memorial, Patterson Memorial and Fort Avenue. They became incorporated in 1958 as The Good Shepherd Methodist Church. With perhaps too little logic, the attractive, practical, still serviceable Fort Avenue Church was replaced with an Education Building which was to become the first unit of a "Cathedral" of Methodism in South Baltimore.
