1931: HHS HONOR STUDENTS LISTED

1930: HAMILTON REPUBLICANS

THE BOMLEY INN WAS THE MEETING PLACE OF THE HAMILTON REPUBLICAN CLUB GOING WAY BACK INTO THE 19TH CENTURY. TODAY, THEY USE THE OLD BARTON F. FRANCIS BUILDING ON NOTTINGHAM WAY AS THE HEADQUARTERS.

1930: INTERESTING SOCIAL NOTES FROM WHITE HORSE

I REALLY LIKE TO READ ABOUT THE VARIOUS "GOINGS ON" IN SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOODS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE ON WHITE HORSE. BERKEYHEISER, MCCLAIN, SCOTT, CHAPMAN, AND MANY OTHER FAMILY NAMES ARE A FAMILIAR PART OF THE WHITE HORSE HERITAGE.

1931: LAW AND ORDER CRACKDOWN

"STERN PUNISHMENT VIEWED AS REMEDY:" AS I ADD MATERIAL TO THE "CRIME, MORALS, SOCIAL VALUES" FOLDER IN THE HAMILTON LIBRARY LOCAL HISTORY COLLECTION, IT IS INTERESTING TO READ HOW THE ILLEGAL FIRE ARMS LAW WAS BEING ENFORCED IN 1931.

1931: ATTN: FELLOW ROMAN CATHOLICS!

1931: FROM KAUFMAN'S TO SWERN'S TO LIT BROTHERS

MOST OF US IN THE OVER 65 GROUP RECALL SWERN'S. I REMEMBER THOSE CHRISTMAS SEASONS IN THE 40'S WHEN SANTA ARRIVED AN CLIMBED UP TO TOYLAND ON A FIRE DEPARTMENT LADDER. IF MY MEMORY IS CORRECT, IT THE LATER 40'S OR EARLY 50'S HE ARRIVED BY HELICOPTER.

1931: "COMMIES" IN TRENTON

THE COMMUNIST PARTY HAS BEEN A PART OF AMERICAN POLITICS FOR DECADES. THE ONSET OF THE GREAT DEPRESSTION BROUGHT OUT MANY PARTY MEMBERS IN DEMONSTRATIONS ALL OVER AMERICA. THIS ONE IS FROM TRENTON.

1931 LALOR SCHOOL MINI HISTORY

LIVE AND LEARN! I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS A CONNECTION BETWEEN DEUTZVILLE SCHOOL WHICH WAS BUILT IN 1905, AND LALOR, WHICH REPLACED IT. IN THIS ARTICLE WE ALSO SEE THAT THE PTA LIKE PARENT TEACHER GROUPS ALL OVER, WERE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

WHITE HORSE PARADE

THIS EXQUISITE PHOTO FROM GARY SZABO,, WHO IS TRACING THE HISTORY OF MONTI'S BAR IN WHITE HORSE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GARY. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PHOTO!

GARY WRITES:

Tom . . . In my research of Monti's Bar, I came upon an interesting photo.

A parade for the White Horse Vol. Fire Co coming down White Horse Ave., just passing the corner of Kinter Ave. If you look close you can see the sign for P.M. Rose Greenhouses. The three men in the front are the owners of the three bars in White Horse. (L-R) Mr. Gropp from the White Horse Inn, Mr Winkleman (now the Ivy Tavern), and Mr. Monti from Monti's (as of 3/28 is now Pete's Steak House Tavern). Unsure as to the year but looking at the vintage of the motorcycle and White Horse Ave. is still un-paved I'd say late 30's to early to mid 40's.

Sincerely,

Gary Szabo

1941: PRIVATE FRESE

I MAKE IT A POINT TO SAVE EACH AND EVERY ARTICLE OR PHOTO I FIND WHICH RELATES TO THE "COLONIAL GARDENS" NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE I GREW UP. ONE OF THE PLACES I RECALL WAS FRESE'S DELICATESSEN WHICH WAS ON LIBERTY STREET RIGHT NEXT TO THE COLONIAL FIRE COMPANY. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM MARCIA PLAAG SCHROEDER WHO GREW UP ON MILLER AVENUE. MARCIA IS LOOKING FOR OTHER NEIGHBORS WHO LIVED IN THAT WONDERFUL AREA OF HAMILTON. MARCIA, THIS ONE, AND A NUMBER OF OTHER "COLONIAL" ITEMS WILL BE POSTED AS TIME PERMITS.

1948: HHS '48 TO CELEBRATE THEIR 60TH

1992: BEFORE "THE CULTURE WAR" BEGAN

I THINK THEY SAY THAT ONE BECOMES "JADED" AS ONE AGES. I MUST ADMIT THAT I AM AN OLD FASHIONED "STICK IN THE MUD." OUR SOCIETY HAS SEEN SO MANY CHANGES OVER THE PAST 30 OR SO YEARS. LIKE PAVLOV'S DOGS, WE ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY BEING CONDITIONED TO ACCEPT SOCIAL BEHAVIOR THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED IN THE EARLIER YEARS OF MY LIFE TIME.

1930: EVEN THEN THE TRENTON LIBRARY WAS A RICH RESOURCE

• 

1930: HAMILTON TOWNSHIP LIBRARY IN THE EARLY YEARS

DID YOU EVER GO TO THE HAMILTON LIBRARY WHEN IT WAS LOCATED IN THE BASEMENT OF THE HAMILTON MUNICIPAL BUILDING ON 2090 GREENWOOD AVENUE? MAY OF US IN THE SENIOR CITIZEN CATEGORY DID. DID YOU EVER GO TO ONE OF THE LIBRARYS IN YARDVILLE, MERCERVILLE, HAMILTON SQUARE OR ANOTHER AREA WHEN LIBRARY BRANCHES WERE LOCATED IN THE HOMES OF SELECTED RESIDENTS. THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME, BUT THANKS TO MS. MOLLYE CARROL, I HAVE A SIGN WHICH WAS ON A LIBRARY BRANCH ON HAMILTON AVENUE IN THE AREA OF NEWKIRK AVENUE.

1930: HAMILTON ROADS, HAMILTON POLICE, TOWNSHIP MATTERS

HERE'S A LOOK AT HAMILTON'S GOVERNMENT BACK IN MARCH, 1930. ONE OF THE SUBJECTS DISCUSSED WAS THE PURCHASE OF CINDERS, PROBABLY TO BE USED FOR ROAD REPAIRS.

1930: REMEMBERING HAMILTON'S INCINERATOR

TODAY WE HAVE THOSE YELLOW AND GREEN RE-CYCLING CONTAINERS. GARBAGE WAS COLLECTED AND HAULED AWAY TO THE HAMILTON TOWNSHIP INCINERATOR OVER ON PATERSON AVENUE. AS TO THE ASHES, MOST FOLKS BACK THEN BURNED COAL FOR THEIR HOME HEATING. AFTER THE COAL WAS BURNED AND FELL INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FURNACE, THEY WERE SCOOPED UP AND USUALLY PUT IN F GALLON OPEN TOP CANS FOR THE GARBAGE COLLECTOR TO PICK UP.

1930: OBIT OF HENRY COMFORT OF THE CASTANEA DAIRY

THE GLOVERS WERE CASTANEA CUSTOMERS BACK IN THE 30'S AND 40'S. THE STRANGE NAME CAME FROM MR. COMFORT'S FALLSINGTON, PENNSYLVANIA ESTATE OF THE SAME NAME. I BELIEVE THE NAME CASTANEA HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH CHESTNUTS, BUT I AM NOT CERTAIN.

1930: EVEN THEN WE HAD DRUG PROBLEMS

THIS LADY WAS THE VICTIM OF A PAIR OF IMPOSTERS WHO CLAIMED THEY WERE FBI AGENTS CHECKING ON HER DRUG INVENTORY. THE CROOKS PROBABLY MADE AA FEW DOLLARS DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION WHEN DOLLARS WERE IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY.

1930: HAMILTON'S REPUBLICAN CLUB

THE HAMILTON REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS WAS AT THE BROMLEY INN FOR MANY YEARS. IT IS CURRNTLY ON NOTTINGHAM WAY IN THE OLD BARTON F. FRANCIS AUTO DEALERSHIP BUILDING NEXT TO LOCKWOOD'S ELECTRIC CO.

1954: FLORENCE LOTH'S BROAD STREET PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION

THERE ARE TWO GRAPHICS ON THIS PAGE.
MO CUNNINGHAM, AND FLORENCE LOTH'S MEMBERSHIP CARD.

ONCE AGAIN OUR THANKS TO NANCY LOTH CARLSON FOR SENDING A SCRAP BOOK WITH PRESS RELEASES AND ARTICLES PERTAINING TO THE BROAD STREET PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION OF THE 1950'S AND EARLY 60'S. ISN'T THAT MY TRENTON GIANTS HERO "MO" CUNNINGHAM WHO WITH WILBUR JACKSON WHUPPED THE WILMINGTON BLUE ROCKS NEARLY EVERY TIME......WELL MANY TIMES!

1922: HOLY ANGELS "EUCHRE"

OVER THE YEARS I HAVE ASKED MONSIGNIORS, NUNS, DEACONS, AND ALMOST EVERYONE TO DEFINE A "EUCHRE." NO ONE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THIS TERM WHICH WAS A VERY FREQUENT CHURCH CUSTOM IN EARLIER YEARS. I ASSUME THE WORD DERIVES FROM EUCHARIST, BUT THAT'S ALL I KNOW. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE DEFINITION OF A EUCHRE IS?
I RECEIVED 2 ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION ABOVE, ONE FROM "DOROTHY," AND ANOTHER FROM "JO." NOT KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THESE LADIES REQUESTED SEMI-ANONYMITY, I HAVE ONLY USED SKETCHY IDENTIFICATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LADIES, PLEASE COME BACK OFTEN.

The word "Euchre" in this case may refer to
the card game of that name.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "1922: HOLY ANGELS "EUCHRE"":

Hi there,

I just found this blog through a link in an nj.com/Times of Trenton article. Very informative - I love it!
I also wanted to let you know that my good friends Mr. Google and Mr. Wiki have informed me that Euchre is actually a card game!
The name Euchre may or may not have been taken from "Eucharist"; some believe it's simply a translation of a similar French card game called Écarté, but others think that since it's historically been so popular as a church fundraiser, that people may have borrowed the name from "Eucharist". I don't really understand how the game is played; there are several different versions and I'm really not much of a card player beyond poker. But it appears to be kind of similar to bridge, 500 rummy, and pinochle. It involves bidding, collecting specific cards of specific suits, trump cards, and tricking/bluffing your opponents.
Euchre is still played around the world today - there are championship tournaments and everything. It's not nearly as popular here in America as it was back in the 19th and early 20th Centuries, but there are still a lot of churches and clubs/groups that have Euchre "parties" or "tournaments" as fundraisers. Apparently Euchre works very well as a fundraising event, so it's still used pretty often for that purpose.
Well anyway, thanks so much for digging up and enhancing all of these old Trenton/Hamilton pictures! What a great find! ~ Jo

1922: ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL BEFORE IT HAD A STEEPLE

I BELIEVE THIS PHOTO IS FROM THE 1860's BEFORE THE LOFTY STEEPLE WAS CONSTRUCTED AT ST. MARY'S. DID YOU KNOW THAT EACH BELL WHICH WAS INSTALLED WITHIN THE STEEPLE WAS NAMED FOR A SAINT? SOMEWHERE IN MY MASSIVE FILES IS AN ARTICLE DESCRIBING THE INCREDIBLE TASK OF HOISTING UP HUGE OAK TIMBERS TO BUILD THE STEEPLE AND INSTALL THE BELLS.

CHECK OUT THE DIRT ROAD WHICH IS NORTH WARREN STREET.

1922: WHEN CHURCH STREET AND SPRING STREET WERE RURAL

THAT AREA IS ALSO THE LOCATION OF THE FORMER WIDOWS AND SINGLE WOMENS'
HOME WHICH WAS THEN AN UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD. MANY OF THE HOMES ON SPRING STREET STILL REVEAL BEAUTIFUL VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE.

1922: E. sTATE STREET Ca. 1860

1922: TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH Cq. 1872

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL BUILDING THAT PRECEEDED THE PRESENT GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH ON SOUTH BROAD STREET IN TRENTON.

1922: EWING HEIGHTS, CARLTON AVENUE AREA

NUMEROUS REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS WERE A FAMILIAR PART OF THE 1920'S ERA. HERE'S EWING HEIGHTS.

2008: OBIT ARTHUR T. RIGGS, HHS '56

RECEIVED FROM JACK LACY, HHS '56:

===============================================
Hi All...

Thanks to a suggestion from John Carr, husband of our classmate Dottie (Peck) Carr, we checked with the Plumbers and Steamfitters local union and verified that our classmate Arthur T. Riggs did pass away Oct. 21, 2007. There was no obituary published but union officials confirmed that his pension was terminated upon receipt of a death certificate.

Sorry to be the ongoing bearer of sad tidings.

Jack

THANKS TO NANCY LOTH CARLSON, A SCRAPBOOK OF MRS. FLORENCE "BABE" LOTH'S ACTIVITIES WITH THE BROAD STREET PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN DONATED TO THE HAMILTON LIBRARY'S LOCAL HISTORY COLLECTION. THE ASSOCIATION WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ROEBLING PARK, AT THE SITE OF WHITE CITY. THERE WILL BE MORE POSTS ON THIS INTERESTING ORGANIZATION; STAY TUNED. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH NANCY FOR SAVING THIS INTERESTING BIT OF BROAD STREET PARK HISTORY IN THE 1950'S.

THE FOLLOWING EMAIL WAS RECEIVED AS A "NO REPLY" TYPE SO I CAN'T RESPOND TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT. I AM RE-PRINTING IT HERE BUT WILL WITHOLD THE NAME OF THE SENDER IN THE EVENT THE WRITER WISHES TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS:

Ohmygosh, I love the Broad Street Park postings! I was born in 1953 and grew up on W. Park Ave across the street from the Mr. Bromley and Mr. Korona mentioned in the BSP Civic Association information. Mr. Bromley always welcomed the new year by shooting his rifle into the air which was quite an event for me.

1922: WOODLAWN PARK ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

BACK IN ITS HEYDAY WOOD'LAWN PARK WAS A FAVORITE SPOT FOR PEOPLE ALL OVER MERCER COUNTY AND THE SURROUNDING CENTRAL JERSEY AREA. MY HOME IS ON PROPERTY WHERE THE PARK WAS LOCATED. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ARTICLES TO VERIFY THE FACT THAT THE LATE "RED" SKELTON GOT HIS START AT WOODLAWN.

1922: WILLIAM J. CONVERY OBIT

MANY OF US WITH SILVER IN OUR HAIR HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE CONVERY FURNITURE STORE IN DOWNTOWN TRENTON. THE FAMILY WAS VERY ACTIVE IN SACRED HEART PARISH ON SOUTH BROAD AND CENTRE STREETS.

1922: I LOV!E THIS ENGRAVING

I CAN JUST VISUALIZE JAKE RUE REPAIRING A WOODEN CARRIAGE WHEEL OR SHOEING A HORSE OVER IN THE AREA OF THE JOHN A. ROEBLING PLANT. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW GRAPHICS WHICH TURNED OUT QUITE CLEARLY IN THE 1922 DAILY STATE GAZETTE.

1922: A REMARKABLE WOMAN IN HAMILTON HISTORY

WITH WOMENS' MONTH IN THE OFFING, WHAT BETTER PERSON TO NOMINATE (POSTHUMOUSLY) AS "WOMAN OF THE YEAR?" ROSALIE PRIETH KUSER HAD A LONG LIFE AND IN ADDITION TO MAINTAINING THE KUSER FARM ON KUSER ROAD BACK IN THE LATE 1800'S WHEN HER HUSBAND RUDOLPH DIED, SHE FOUND TIME TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL. THERE IS A LARGE PORTRAIT OF ROSALIE KUSER AT ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL.

1956: BROAD STREET PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION

THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY ARTICLES ON THE BROAD STREET PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION WHICH WAS SENT TO ME BY

A WORD ABOUT THE RECENT 1920'S GRAPHICS

YOU WILL FIND THAT THE RECENT 1920'S PHOTOS WHICH I AM POSTING ARE VERY POOR IN QUALITY. YOU WILL ALSO FIND THAT THE PHOTOS ARE MUCH MORE DISCERNABLE IF YOU REFRAIN FROM CLICKING ON THEM TO ENLARGE THEM. ENLARGING MERELY EXAGGERATES THE POOR QUALITY OF THE PHOTO. HENCE: WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU VIEW THE ORIGINAL POSTS IS THE BEST OF WHAT YOU CAN GET ON THESE EARLY NEWS PHOTOS.

1922: VOLUNTEER FIREMENS' FAREWELL PARADE

IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY A NOSTALGIC TIME FOR TRENTON'S ILLUSTRIOUS AND BRAVE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANYS. IF MEMORY SERVES ME, THE CITY OF TRENTON INAUGURATED A PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT IN 1892.

1922: ANOTHER GRAPHIC ON THE FITZGERALD DRY GOODS CO.

AN EARLIER POST FROM LAST WEEK DEALT WITH THE FITZCHARLES ORGANIZATION. I MUST ADMIT I AM HAVING A PROBLEM ENVISIONING THIS BUILDING BEING ON E. HANOVER AND NORTH MONTGOMERY. IS THIS NEAR THE "ALITA" BUILDING OR IS THAT A DIFFERENT CORNER? IS THERE A VIEWER WHO CAN SET ME STRAIGHT ON THIS?

1922: SOUTH BROAD STREET, TRENTON

I WISH THERE WERE PHOTOS OF BETTER QUALITY SHOWING THE DOWNTOWN TRENTON OF THE 1800's. IT'S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE SOUTH BROAD STREET NEAR THE STATE STREET INTERSECTION WHEN THERE WERE MERCHANTS AS SHOWN ABOVE ALL OVER TOWN.

1922: LES LIPPINCOTT'S "DOGGIE" ROAST

MCELMOYL, WALN, BORDEN, AND LIPPINCOTT. ALL NAMES QUITE FAMILIAR TO GROVEVILLE RESIDENTS. FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T VISITED GARY LIPPINCOTT'S HISTORICAL WEBSITE, BY ALL MEANS DO. GO TO WWW.GROVEVILLEMEMORIES.BLOGSPOT.COM

IF ONE STOOD AT THE INTERSECTION OF DOWNTOWN TRENTON'S STATE AND BROAD STREETS IN THE LATTER 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY, ONE WOULD SEE A MAZE OF TROLLEY TRACKS COMING TOGETHER FROM ALL POINTS IN THE COMPASS.
THE WORKERS IN THE PHOTO ARE ASSEMBLING A "GRAND UNION," WHICH ALLOWED TROLLEYS TO NEGOTIATE THE INTERSECTION FROM ANY PART OF THE INTERSECTION. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME ALSO THAT THE INTERSECTION HAD A MAZE OF TELEPHONE POLES AND WIRES.

1922: TRENTON POLICE MOTORCYCLE SQUAD

NATURALLY, ONE WONDERS IF THEY RODE ON "INDIANS" OR "HARLEYS!"

1922: DEUTZVILLE'S JEWELRY FACTORY

1922: CHAMBERSBURG LITTLE KNOWN STAR HOTEL

ONE GREAT THING ABOUT HISTORICAL RESEARCH IS DISCOVERING AN UNKNOWN HOTEL LIKE THE "STAR HOTEL" DESCRIBED IN THE GRAPHIC. IN ALL MY YEARS OF LOCAL RESEARCH ON CHAMBERSBURG, I HAD NEVER SEEN ANY REFERENCE TO THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING.

1922: WOODLAWN PARK OPENS FOR THE SEASON

DIGITAL CAMERAS AND LOCAL HISTORY:

PERFECT TOGETHER!
THIS PAGE WAS DISCOVERED THIS MONING AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE TRENTON "DAILY STATE GAZETTE." WITH THE OPENING OF THE SEASON OF 1922, I HOPE TO FIND SOME INTERESTING GRAPHICS FROM THIS VERY ELUSIVE HISTORIC ENTITY.

1922: TABRAM'S: SO. WARREN AND FRONT STREET, Ca. 1872

"..FURNITURE AND ANTIQUE SHOP.." WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO TAKE A 21st CENTURY VISIT TO THAT STORE? YOU WOULD PROBABLY FIND COUNTLESS ANTIQUES THAT DATE BACK TO REVOLUTIONARY AND COLONIAL DAYS.

1922: THE PAPER MILL ON THE ASSANPINK

ONCE AGAIN, APOLOGIES FOR THE VERY DIFFICULT TO ENHANCE OFFSET PHOTO. AFTER MORE THAN 50 YEARS STUDYING LOCAL HISTORY, I STILL HAVE A REAL PROBLEM LOCATING THE ACTUAL SITE OF THIS FABLED PAPER MILL WHICH WAS LOCATED BY THE BRIDGE OVER THE ASSANPINK IN THE AREA OF SOUTH BROAD STREET. HISTORY TELLS US THAT THE MILL WAS LOCATED ON WHAT WAS THE SITE OF MAHLON STACY'S MILL BACK IN THE COLONIAL ERA. TWENTY FIRST CENTURY TRENTON WITH ALL THOSE GLASS-ENCRUSTED OFFICE BUILDINGS THAT PROLIFERATE IN DOWNTOWN TRENTON, MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ENVISION JUST WHERE THE MILL WAS LOCATED. PERHAPS ONE OF THE HISTORIC SCHOLARS AT THE TRENTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE OLD PAPER MILL. ONE VERY INTRIGUING NEWS SNIPPET THAT LIES WITHIN THE PAGES OF OLD NEWSPAPERS TELLS OF A "KINGFISHER" THAT TOOK UP RESIDENCY IN THE OLD DESERTED MILL. FASCINATING!

1922: CAN YOU IMAGINE A BLACKSMITH SHOP IN DOWTOWN TRENTON?

TRENTON MUST HAVE BEEN A FASCINATING TOWN BACK IN THE 1860's AND 70's. THE SURROUNDING AREAS OF MERCER COUNTY WAS LARGELY OPEN FARM LAND, DOTTED WITH VILLAGES LIKE BIRMINGHAM, LAWRENCEVILLE, TRENTON JUNCTION, SAND HILLS, SANDTOWN, AND OTHER SETTLEMENTS. THIS PHOTO WAS ONE OF THE OFFSET PHOTOS THAT APPEARED DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF PHOTO REPRODUCTION IN THE LOCAL PRESS AND WITH A BIT OF TOUCHING UP, THERE IS A PRETTY CLEAR VIEW OF A TYPICAL "SMITHY," RIGHT IN THE TOWN OF TRENTON.

THE "JOHN BULL"

HERE'S A GREAT OLD PHOTO OF THE FABLED "JOHN BULL" WHICH ONCE CROSSED CENTRAL JERSEY FROM BORDENTOWN, ON HER WAY ALONG THE CAMDEN AND AMBOY RAILROAD TRACKS THROUGH YARDVILLE AND ON UP NORTH. THE TRACKS CAN STILL BE SEEN ON KUSER ROAD, JUST BEFORE YOU REACH ROUTE 130.

1922: GEORGE BENNET'S "SEGAR" STORE

A BIT LACKING IN DETAIL, BUT STILL AN INTERESTING PHOTO FROM THE DAILY STATE GAZETTE FEATURING OLD TRENTON LANDMARKS.

1922: FITZCHARLES DRY GOODS BUILDING
