"LOCAL HISTORY WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH" is not just a catchy slogan for this blog, it is a real attempt to bring little known historical material relating to persons, places, and things in our local Mercer County area. On a personal note, my love and respect for the Kuser family is reflected in the countless columns I have written over the past 30 years, dealing with the Kuser family. The family has a rich historical heritage. The graphic shows one of Trenton's foremost locally prominent gentlemen whose family left an indelible footprint in Trenton area history. I associate the Devlin name with Marty Devlin, who along with Eddie Moylan was an ace tennis player on the local tennis scene. The Devlin family is linked to the Kuser family, the Corey family and many other family names which I recall during my younger years at Fritz and Edna's Kuser Farm.

HI TOM...MARTY DEVLIN AND MY BROTHER "CHUCK" LUCARELLA WERE CLOSE FRIENDS AND TEAM MATES ON THE SCHROTHS AND TRENTON HIGH TEAMS IN THE LATE 40'S. MARTY TOOK UP TENNIS LATTER ON AND BECAME QUITE GOOD AT IT. CHUCK WENT ON TO BECOME A HEART DOCTOR BUT ONLY LIVED A SHORT LIFE TO SHOW FOR HIS EFFORTS. MAY GOD BLESS THEM BOTH AND THEY'LL ALWAYS BE IN OUR THOUGHTS. BEST REGARDS.
ReplyDeleteMartin Patrick Devlin, Sr., in this article is Marty's grandfather. I actually found the 1881 Greenock, Scotland census this morning then came across this when I was showing Marty info. about his family. Martin Sr. eventually became an advisor to Woodrow Wilson. Ralph, I remember meeting your brother, I think the last time was at the Trenton Select dinner when Kelly Palumbo was honored.
ReplyDeleteYou're the best, Tom. Happy New Year to you both.
