1869: Circa 1869 TRENTON RETROSPECTIVES

One of my favorite folders is the "TRENTON-RETROSPECTIVES" where old timers recall the area as they remember it in their younger years. A retrospective look back from a fellow who was interviewed in 1912 and recalls events of 80 plus years ago constitutes true first person history. The above is the first of what will be a number of those interesting articles which I will be posting.
AS TIME PERMITS, I WILL ADD A "GLOSSARY," IDENTIFYING SOME OF THE PLACES MENTIONED IN SPECIFIC ARTICLES. FOR INSTANCE, THE CEMETERY REFERRED TO ABOVE WOULD BE THE MERCER CEMETERY ON SOUTH CLINTON AVENUE.
