Amelia S. Kennard
30 Nov 1874 KENNARD. -- On Sunday morning, the 29th of November, AMELIA S. KENNARD, youngest daughter of the late William H. and Louisa Kennard. Those devoted ones, who with ceaseless daily care and night watchings, ministered with tenderest solicitude to this beloved sister in her prolonged affliction, and who now in deepest sorrow are touchingly reminded of her sweet spirited resignation amid all her trying sufferings, will ever cherish the memory of her lovely character, which affords a bright example more than worthy to be emulated. They will permit the author to lay this humble token upon her funeral bier as a testimonial to her worth, in which were blended so many Christian virtues. May the sorrow of the bereaved ones be assuaged by the reflection that in life the departed one was cheered by a steadfast Christian faith, that now in full fruition brings the realization of a blissful immortality. The relatives and friends of the family are affectionately invited to attend her funeral on to morrow (Tuesday) afternoon at two o'clock, from her late residence, No. 315 Hollins street.

Sarah Tilden Carson, nee Hynson
Published in the Baltimore American newspaper. Mrs. Sarah Tilden Carson died yesterday at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Baltis H. Kennard, in the 97th year of her age. Mrs. Carson was born in Kent County, and was a descendant in the maternal line of the Tildens, who were among the earlier settlers of that county, and in the paternal line of the Hynsons, a family largely identified with the history of Kent.
Mrs. Carson witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry, and often spoke of it to her grandchildren. Her husband, whom she survived thirty-seven years, was David Carson, well known years ago as a builder, and as one of the Old Defenders in the war of 1812. Mrs. Carson was a devoted and exemplary member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for eighty years, and at time of death a member of St. Paul's Methodist Church South.
She was the mother of seven sons and two daughters. Three of the sons and one daughter she survived. Two of the sons, deceased, David Carson, Jr. and Joshua Carson were well known builders of this city. Four sons and one daughter survive, namely, Carvill H. Carson, a resident of Savannah; William McK. Carson of California; Joseph H. Carson of Washington D.C. and the Rev. Thomas R. Carson of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, now at Winchester, Va. And one daughter, Mrs. Baltis H. Kennard. There are numberous descendants. One of her grandsons is Charles L. Carson the well known architect. There are forty-six grandchildren and forty-eight great-grandchildren living.
Mrs. Carson's faculties of mind and strength of body had been preserved in a notable degree up almost to the time of her decease. For about three weeks before her death she was able to go about the house unattended, and with the exception of some impairment of vision and hearing, no marked change had occurred. Although for a few weeks preceding her death it was evident that the struggle between life and death had begun, she did not become bed-ridden, and was sitting in a chair just before she died. Even then her mind seemed to be under control, for the moment before breathing her last she requested to be assisted into bed.
This venerable and remarkable lady was a noteworthy person both as to her long life and her noble character. Her ancestral line is traceable by an unbroken chain through the Tilden family some hundreds of years back to the Sirs Marmaduke Tilden of Great Oak Manor in Kent of England.

Baltis Henry Kennard, Sr.
[BJ's Note: I think one of the greatest disappointments I've experience related to genealogy is what I would consider to be THE obit for Baltis. His accomplishments were many, including being a delegate in Maryland's 2nd Constitutional Convention, in which he voted to end slavery in the state. There was much more, and my disappointment lies in the fact that the scan of it was so poor that most of the text cannot be read. He was also a delegate during one term of Maryland's House of Representatives which began in 1858.]
