I often wondered where the name came from. Woolsey, Hutchinson and other Homedell streets are named for local folks who were a part of Hamilton's Homedell Section. So too was Father Bernadine Ludwig of Immaculate Conception Parish in Chambersburg when it was known as Our Lady of Lourdes. The cemetery of the same name is in Homedell.

1903: BERNADINE AVENUE IN HOMEDELL

Hi Tom:)
ReplyDeleteI remember Bernadine Avenue.
My second paper route went up
Liberty in Villa Park/Hamilton
and ended at Redfern and S Olden.
At times coming back down Redfern
I would walk down Bernadine to
return to Liberty Street:)
