From a huge and very rare "Nol 1882" map that came into my possession, I
 am learning some very enlightening tings about who was where during the
 year 1882 in Trenton and a tantalizing glimpse of the Hamilton suburbs 
including a street map of Greenwood Cemetery. I never knew those many 
roadways had names.
 Here's 1882 showing Villa Park before it became 
Villa Park and was subdivided between two huge parcels of land owned by 
Samuel Wilson and David Quintin. The property is shown from Chambers 
Street on the left of your screen and down to the Olden area community 
of Bismarck, Centennial Avenues. Mr. Quintin's historically famous race 
track took up a large part of the property.
