ST. PAUL'S PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH

THIS IS THE CHURCH OF MY YOUTH. IT WAS HERE EVERY SUNDAY MORNING IN THE LATE 30'S AND EARLY 1940'S THAT I SAT IN MISS SMITH'S SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS. EVERY SUNDAY MORNING A LOCOMOTIVE FROM ONE OF THE SOUTH TRENTON FACTORIES WOULD PASS BY THE WINDOW, SCARCELY 5 FEET AWAY. THE ARTICLE GIVES A FASCINATING MINI HISTORY OF THE CHURCH. PARTICULARLY INTERESTING IS THE CONNECTION OF HEWITT FROM THE HEWITT IRON WORKS, ALSO IN SOUTH TRENTON. LIKE THE HOMES BUILT IN MILLHAM, TODAY'S E. TRENTON AREA, THE CHURCH WAS CONSTRUCTED ALONG THE LINES OF THOSE IN ENGLAND.
