1915: THE PANTALEONE FAMILY OF CHAMBERSBURG


From the "CHAMBERSBURG" folder in the Hamilton Library Local History Collection:
Some months back I published the full page 16 page of the Trenton Evening Times "CHAMBERSBURG" section which included the above extract. The Pantaleone family were noted musicians right up to the present era. Eddie Pantaleone was a part of a musical group known as "Valhalla," and were quite popular locally in the 60's and 70's. Most recently Eddie and his family lived on Greenwood Avenue just a bit west of So. Olden Avenue. Their dad, was a professional music teacher. Dr. and Mrs. Raffael were very prominent members of Chambersburg back in the early part of the 20th century. Their Pantaleone home was at 504 Hamilton Avenue, right next to Trenton Engine House #7.

Yep, in that really nice looking house right across from where I lived until I was 10. In the middle of the block where the fire house was, during WWII, the Army had their motor pool that serviced the military stationed in the old Trenton High School down the street. The soldiers all came into our restaurant for many of their meals and became friends.
