1947: JAKE THIEL: A TRENTON P.D. LEGEND

THIS FELLOW'S NAME COMES UP QUITE FREQUENTLY AS I PERUSE THE PAGES OF MY NEWSPAPER COLLECTION. JAKE MARRIED MY UNCLE CHARLIE'S SISTER, PHOEBE. HIS POSITION ON THE TRENTON POLICE FORCE OF YESTERDAY RANGES FROM GOOD DEEDS TO CATCHING THE BAD GUYS. HE WAS AN EXTREMELY POPULAR POLICE OFFICER, MUCH LIKE TODAY'S "OFFICER FRIENDLY."
