1945: WILDBLOOD-WHITELEY WEDDING

My good friends and regular visitors to this blog, Don Whiteley and Alan Wildblood, are advanced researchers and may have this article-photo in their collections. Should they not have them, I publish them herewith. Sorry to say that the photo of Mrs. Whiteley is not up to my normal quality; in fact, I nearly eliminated it from the graphic.

1909 (Circa 1909) "Main Street" Yardville N.J,

Ok all you Yardville historians, help me with this one. Gary Lippincott, Don Whiteley, Lakeside Girl, and indeed, all you folks who are more familiar with "Main Street," Yardville, which one would assume is South Broad Street, (but not necessarily!") I have scanned this at 600 dpi in order to put you in the middle of that dirt road. I have also had to segregate the right side of the photo and lighten it. The original is in the dark. Check out the old horseless carriage along the curb as a horse-drawn vehicle goes by. This is an extremely rare postcard photo of early 20th century Yardville, So go ahead, take a leisurely walk up Main Street in Yardville!

Tom,

Thanks to you and Don Whitely, I have now put Carol in touch with my father, Mickey Knott (Jerry Knott's brother). Dad remembers Carol. Thank you, Tom, and Don, for your AMAZING internet collections of local history, and for how it helps bring people together!

2009: HAVE YOU VISITED DON WHITELEY'S YARDVILLE HEIGHTS BLOG?

It is nice to know that there are a FEW other senior citizens extant who have taken the time to learn basic computer operation. One such is Don Whiteley, who has two web sites that are really wonderful. Don is an excellent story teller, and his experiences in growing up in the Yardville Heights area will be of interest to many. You can access Don's two websites by clicking on the appropriate link under my "Don't Miss These Interesting Links."
