Benjamin and his family were members of the Memorial Church in Baltimore, Maryland, where Benjamin was a vestryman.
141 West Lanvale, was a modest house in its day. It is a typical house of Baltimore's city residence in the middle to upper classes. It has brick with marble steps leading from sidewalk straight up to the front door which opens from an outer sheltered area to a hallway that ends with steps which lead up to the upper two stories. Living room and dining room are to the left and quite narrow. Florence was said to be a strange woman...odd...recluse...did not know hardly anyone. Benjamin's sister Nannie, joked that Benjamin looked strikingly like King George of England of World War I times...bear (conduct) and all. ("Taken from interview conducted by Bill Fendall at home of William Luke Marbury III, in Baltimore, MD., 1967").
