1913: ABNER BRAUN - TRENTON FARMER AND POLICEMAN

These retrospective articles give a very interesting insight into the life and times of our area as it was lived back in the distant past. Abner Braun's mini farm is long gone, having been replaced by rows of homes on all corners of the South Clinton Avenue and Stanton Street. Note that the article places the farm "2 blocks from his home." As can be seen in the aerial view above, his home is on the same block as the intersection. It is possible that the street numbers have changed in the intervening years. However, the farm site is at one of the 4 corners on the map.
