From my "NOTABLE PERSONS" and "WHITE HORSE" folders, this "then and now" photo of Andrew Gropp, Jr., whose White Horse family links go back forever. I have a question directed to someone who might know the answer: Back in my Trenton Bearing Company years, a very athletic Andy Gropp came in for bearings, roller chain, vee belts, and other parts for his exercise equipment. He obviously utilized his exercise equipment on a daily basis. He had muscles on top of his muscles. Can anyone fill me in on the relationship of that Andy Gropp? His gym was located on South Clinton Avenue; I believe in Hamilton Township.
The Goldy name is another old Hamilton family name, dating back locally to the mid 19th century. One can only imagine the beauty that was Charles Teunon's Lakeside Park when he began developing the community back in the first decade of the 20th century. Maybury Goldy was a Trenton coal dealer who resided on South Broad Street in the original area known as Chambersburg. He chose the beautiful environment of Lakeside Park, along the banks of Hutchinson's Pond, as it was known before Teunon gave it the name of "Lakeside."
