1975: KUSER TENNIS COURT, FEBRUARY, 1975

Kuser farm is, and always will be a spiritual retreat for me. There is not a single location in that "mansion" (we called a "house") with which I am not familiar, nor any location on the expansive ground where I haven't visited over the past 70 plus years. As I age, and I dare say many others who are what I call "Senior senior citizens,"  find those to be very precious memories of our earlier years to be gifts from God. Sadly, the grape arbor that once produced incredibly beautiful Concord grapes is dying a sad death. Edna Kuser's Raspberry patch was long ago unearthed, to be replaced with a quoit playing area which is never used. On the plus side, Kuser Foreman Tom Everett and his crew are doing an extraordinary job in beautifying the flower gardens and maintaining the area. My buddy "Jake" is a natural green thumb. He had those flowers in full bloom right up until today, just a little before those winter storms begin.

1944 and 1948: KUSER FARM AND THE HARTLEY TOY MFG. CO.

During the past two days I have been going through a large 13 x 9 inch envelope filled with Glover family photos. My family's relationship with the Kuser family goes back to the mid 1930's. My brother Bud worked for Fred and Edna Kuser from 1938 through 1945 when he went into the Navy, at which point I and my best buddy Don Slabicki took over the chores at the farm, and when we entered the military, my little brother Donny and Ken Slabicki for a short time. The above graphics tell an interesting story. The photo above on the lower left shows the Kuser tennis house and in front of it, the old Kuser chicken coop built back in 1901 by Christian Mack. To the graphic on the right is a scan of one of my MERCER MESSENGER  "Hamilton Scrapbook" graphics relating to the Hartley Toy Mfg. Co. Below that is a rare 1947 or 1948 view of the Glover vegetable garden showing the Kuser chicken coop on the right in the photo, next to one of our two chicken coops.I was a 15 year old helper in disassembling that Kuser structure. I remember carefully using a crowbar to lift off the wooden shingles, dis-assembling the 2 x 4 frame and carting the parts across the field and across Newkirk Avenue to the Glover property. I also remember that there were a number of snakes under that old building. The concrete foundation of that old Kuser coop is still to be seen at the entrance to what we called Kuser's Pond.

1926: THERESA DOELGER KUSER OBIT

For many years, one of the targets of my historical research has been centered around my "Kuser Farm" folder; our local treasure in Hamilton Township, and also on the Kuser Family. My "Kuser Family-Related" folder now has 730 files in 4 folders as I continue to add additional photos, articles and files in the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. Mrs. Theresa Kuser was a very religious woman and weather permitting she walked the flat second floor roof on the Kuser "Country Home," (now referred to as the Kuser Mansion), saying her Rosary every night.

2013: MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME

 

These photos I took this morning take me back to my young years growing up on Kuser Farm with my best friend Don Slabicki.  Sunday night movies, driving all over the property in one of the Kuser Ford cars, summer time in the woods, winter time sledding or skating on Kuser Pond. As I age, I frequently walk in areas of Kuser Farm where few people ever venture. For me, it is a spiritual thing, and I somehow feel closer to God. There's the wild cherry tree in the area where we set up a tent and camped out. The decayed trunk of a wild cherry tree reminds me that this is the remains of the same tree with a wood pecker hole where Don and I stashed our illicit packs of Herbert Tareyton, Lucky Strike, Regents, or Old Gold cigarettes.  The windmill, which thanks to the skill of Hamilton Township workers has been beautifully restored to it original splendor. The Kuser maintenance garages where Don and I christened a brand new Ford truck body that was so new the paint was still tacky. Edna Kuser's formal garden where Don and I spent hours of drudgery weeding the paths that made it a "formal garden." Memories like these are timeless; they live on and will certainly be relived in that place they call eternity, and I call Heaven.

2013: AN ERROR CORRECTED and THE STORY OF THE KUSER FARM "BEAR TREE"

Give Glover a coffee break and you have to re-train him; he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. How stupid it was of me to enter the incorrect time for my upcoming Kuser Mansion program, "A Night of Nostalgia and Music!" This only applies to those who read my Sunday column wherein I write about upcoming fall and winter programs. As you can see by the current  www.glover320.blogspot.com home page the time is correctly listed as 6 to 7:30. This post is for those visitors who read my Sunday column and entered the incorrect time on your respective calendars. Sorry for the error. The graphic below is another nostalgic memory from the years my best friend Don Slabicki and I spent working odd jobs at Fritz and Edna's Kuser Farm. Imagine two 12 year old boys walking through the Kuser woods, talking about the headline of the day where a bear escaped from captivity in the N.J. State Fair area. It was one of those dark and foggy winter after school days when we came upon this tree which still stands on the lawn diagonally opposite the tennis court. I can still see the beast's rump and legs as he shinnies up that tree! When former Councilman the late Jack Lacy heard my story he was going to have the township re-name the tree with a plaque that read "Tom Glover and Don Slabicki's Bear Tree;" unfortunately, the project never came to fruition.

1987: KUSER FARM PARK 10th ANNIVERSARY

Had the Central Jersey Model Railroaders not "beaten me to the punch." I would loved to have set up the Hamilton Township Public Library's Local History repository in the basement of Kuser Farm Mansion. It would have been an ideal spot for storage of my huge collection of Trenton newspapers and a very adequate office area to set up my computer and digitizing software. Additionally, it would have been home to my home away from home where I and my two brothers spent countless hours during the time that  Fred and Edna Kuser occupied the home. I also had my eye on the old "chicken coop" down in the area of the tennis court as a prime candidate for a repository, but alas, it was not to be. My attraction to this Hamilton Township historical jewel borders on the spiritual with all the indelible memories I carry deep within my inner being. I will be eternally grateful to former Mayors Maury Perilli and Jack Rafferty for being the catalysts who were instrumental in bringing this historic gem to Hamilton Township. Maury, for meeting with Edna Kuser very early on when it was becoming apparent that Fritz and Edna could no longer manage the huge property, and Jack Rafferty for sealing the deal and convincing the Kusers that their wishes for a park for the public to enjoy over the years would come to fruition.

FRED AND THERESA KUSER'S "COUNTRY HOME"

 Newkirk Avenue (New Street) wasn't laid out in 1875. The

map shows Benjamin Goldy's Farm house which is believed to be

on South Olden Avenue behind the QUIK CHEK store.

This area is also Camp Olden territory. Note the  
* misspelling: R. Kusner.

.

 Above: Could it be that Anthony R. Kuser worked with his brother

Fred to negotiate a deal to purchase what today is known 

as Kuser Farm Park? Probably.

 Above: Even "historians" can be confused. Was George Goldy an

employee of Rudolph and Rosalie Kuser?  Kuser Farm as

we know it today was still 6 years in the future. Here we have George Goldy

placing a want ad for help at what I presume is the Rudolph and Rosalie Kuser Farm

on Kuser Road (today's Homestead Inn). Was George Goldy the son

of Benjamin? Perhaps George or Eleanor Goldy Guear can provide an
answer to this mysterious moment in time.

 Above: WRONG! Make that 1896. 

The diary kept by Frederick Kuser conflicts with the

Trenton press. I am going with the Trenton newspaper

accounts which you will read further down this page. 

They are written is stone. Considering the fact that there
numerous articles heralding the opening
of the "Kuser Country Home." Docents have suggested that
the Kuser diary has pre-1896 entries which leads me
to conclude that those entries were written while the Kusers
occupied the structure that was originally on the property.

 See the preceding article relating to 1892 vs.1896.

"...for the erection of a handsome new residence on

the latter's farm." I make that out to be the

current "Kuser Country Home."

KUSER COUNTRY HOME, 1896

Below are the relevant news reports on which

I base my belief the the "Kuser Mansion

was built in 1896, not 1892. 

  

 

 Chambersburg's Henry Ahrendt and his employees were the builders of the

Kuser home. As can be seen in the above ad, he was also

a distributor for a monument company.

 Helen Mack (Sutterlin) on the front lawn of the Kuser Home

Circa 1910

 Herman and Helen Mack (Sutterlin) on the front lawn of the 

Kuser HomeCirca 1910. According to an interview I had with 

Mrs. Helen Mack Sutterlin back in the 1980's, their father Christian built most of the

existing buildings on the farm including the carriage house, 

laundry, garages, stables and chicken coops.
ONE OF TOM GLOVER'S CLASSIC SENIOR MOMENT WAS 
CAUGHT THANKS TO MARY ELLEN HIRST DEVLIN. I 
ERRONEOUSLY SAID THAT HERMAN BUILT THE ABOVE 
MENTIONED BUILDINGS, BUT IS WAS THEIR FATHER. THANKS 
AGAIN FOR THE CORRECTION,  MARY ELLEN; YOU'RE THE BEST!

 Believe it or not, back in the 1920's, the Kuser family

sold the old Trenton City Hall to Mr. Nissner who

wanted to open a retail store on the site

 The above faded and aged article on the new Kuser home

is a treasure trove of information on the early years of Fred and Theresa

Kuser's "Country Home," and is by far the most accurate account of the

interior of the home, the color scheme, etc.; very valuable information

for future renovations.

Tom - "G. O. Goldy" as named in this blog was George Oliver Goldy, 8th child out of 11 of Benjamin and Jane Ann Barber Goldy, the original owners of the Kuser Farm. According to the dates, George O was probably working for the Kusers who maybe bought the farmland first and then had the mansion erected later. George O's father, Benjamin, had already died in 1887 and the family was probably selling off the property.

ANOTHER GOLDY HEARD FROM. THANKS VERY MUCH GEORGE!

Tom

I'm sure that Eleanor will be in touch with you regarding your question about the subject. Here is what I know (thanks to my wife)

 

Benjamin Goldy He owned the land which was purchased by the Kusers. He was also a Township committeeman in the centenial year of 1876.

 

George Oliver Goldy - He was a son of Benjamin and could very well have worked for the Kusers. He ran a truck farm from the farm before it was sold to the Kusers to my knowledge.

 

Mabury Goldy - Another son of Benjamin who operated a coal yard on the site of the Goldy store at 833 South Broad which you has been shown in some of your photos.

 

Mabury had 3 sons - Leon, Harold, and George Neil.

   Leon ran the store on Broad Street after Mabury retired

   Harold died young

   George Neil lived at Saint Elmos and was my grandfather.

 

George Neil had 4 sons

    George Reed Goldy Sr - my father

    John Mabury

    William Nauman

    Richard Dick

 

I'm George Reed Goldy Jr. and have 2 childern

     George Reed Goldy III

     Lee Ann

     I have 1 sister who is Eleanor Goldy Guear  (Lakeside Girl)

 

I hope this helps clear up the family lineage for you. If you have any more questions let me know.

1952: CHARLIE HOWELL RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN

Charlie and Inez Howell were regular visitors to Kuser Farm during the years my best friend Don Slabicki and I worked for the Kusers. Charlie was the consummate gentleman and Inez, like her sister Edna were among the most gracious and classy ladies I have met. One Sunday night at one of our weekly visits to the Kuser Farm theater, Don and I were setting up the chairs in the huge Kuser dining room/theater when Edna approached us and asked if we would chauffeur Congressman  Charlie through the Pennington area. What a fun day! We tooled the streets of Pennington as Charlie greeted citizen from the back seat of the convertible we drove. Don and I had only recently gotten our driver licenses but were already seasoned drivers having driven the Kuser Ford cars all over the expansive Kuser property in our early teen years.  

2012: KUSER MANSION BUILT IN 1896

One thing any historian strives to do is accurately re-tell history. "Heresay" has been the bane of the historian due to the fact that a person's memory can be quite faulty. Whenever I detail a specific historical item based on hearsay, it is NEVER accepted as an historic truth. Such is the case with the dating of the year the Kuser Mansion was built. Someone said that the Kuser diary indicated 1892. As can be seen in the article above, and numerous other articles in the Hamilton Library database, the mansion was finished in 1896 and the Kusers spent their first summer there in the same year. I can only assume that Mr. Ahrend, the contractor was of German extraction and used German craftsmen in the construction of the building as it indicates in the Kuser Farm booklet written by Mrs. Frederic Kuser.

2012: DON'T MISS "THE KUSERS OF HAMILTON"

On Sunday afternoon., May 20, 2012 at 1:30 P.M., I will be presenting an on screen multimedia presentation entitled, "THE KUSERS OF HAMILTON." The program will be a thumbnail sketch of the early years of the Kuser family, beginning with Rosalie and Rudolph Kuser's Pond Run Road farm which is adjacent to Hamilton Township's beautiful Kuser Farm Park. This presentation is being billed as a "thumbnail" sketch due to the fact that the Hamilton Township Public Library has an extensive library of articles and photos on the Kuser, Howe, Maddock, Howell, and other prominent local families who played a part in the Kuser history. The collection is being expanded as I post this graphic. I am now searching for material on the Maddock family, and the countless local dignitaries with whom the Kusers were involved over the past one hundred plus years, including Bentley Pope, the Lenhardt family, New Jersey governors, senators, and the list goes on and on. This event will prove to be of interest to any who always wondered about the history of the "Homestead" on Kuser Road and that beautiful 1896 "Country Home" of Frederick and Teresa Kuser which has become Hamilton Township's Kuser Farm Park.
For reservations, Email Ms. Tracey Destribats at tdestribats@hamiltonnj. com, or Tom Glover at tglover320@optimum.net with the number of seats you wish to reserve. Seating is limited, so reserve early.

1992 - 2012: TWENTY YEARS!

To be historically accurate, I have found an article regarding the recently completed Kuser mansion which seems to indicate that the actual centennial celebration should have been in the year 1996, when the Kusers spent their first summer in the newly constructed "country home." I am told that a diary kept by the family dated the mansion as 1892. The powers that be are supposedly checking the Kuser diary, but so far, I have not received confirmation as to the date. Hard copy is in my files with an 1896 article and photo dated 1896 indicate that year as the date. Mayor Jack Rafferty and his administration placed Kuser Farm Park in the limelight and kept it there. Over the years, there have been hundreds if not thousands of visitors to that beautiful example of a Victorian estate. The gorgeous 1896 "Queen Anne" style Kuser mansion is a local treasure. Unfortunately, financial constraints insofar as policing the property, the character of the park is changing with many visitors ignoring the "NO PARKING" signs, graffiti, and other unfortunate acts which defy police detection.

Tom - What an amazing array of entertainment was put together for this celebration! How did I miss this? It sounds like an extraordinary day. Wish I was there!

1950: THE KUSER FARM TENNIS CLUB

As workers in the maintenance of the Kuser Farm clay tennis court, my best friend Don Slabicki and I were members of the Kuser Farm Tennis Club. The article above is actually a caption to a very poor press photo of the group. I have removed the phrase "in the photo above, left to right..." with "Those in attendance included.." Don and I met many very prominent people in our years in the tennis club, and as part time helpers at Fritz and Edna Kuser's Kuser Farm. Oscar Hammerstein II, former Governor Meyner, local tennis Eddie Moylan, Leo and Don Bannon, and others listed in the article. I drew the pencil sketch of the Kuser tennis house back in the 1980's for one of my many "Mercer Messenger" Kuser Farm "The Way We Were" articles.

2012: THE KUSER'S OF HAMILTON - MARK YOUR CALENDARS

My family's long time connection with the Edna and Fred Kuser's Kuser Farm going back to the late 1930's, has led to a mission on my part to compile anything and everything I can find relating to this remarkable family. I have composed the above broadside to announce an interesting look into the family with historic articles and photos on the family from the mid 1800's when Rosalie Prieth Kuser and Rudolph Kuser acquired the Benjamin Lord Farm, "on Pond Run Road to the road leading from the White Horse Tavern to Sandtown." The program will consist of an on-screen presentation along with a lecture on those articles of interest I have uncovered after more than 30 years of research. There is still much more to be discovered, and it will be added to the Hamilton Township Public Library's Local History Collection under two folders: "KUSER FAMILY-RELATED," and "KUSER FARM."

Anonymous said...

Tom - The "'s" in Kuser's is not necessary - it's not showing ownership, just a plural!
Should read "The Kusers of Hamilton."

HI "LAKESIDE GIRL:

THANKS FOR FOR THE CORRECTION WHICH HAS BEEN MADE, ELEANOR. AND TO THINK I ACTUALLY WENT TO ONE OF OUR REFERENCE LIBRARIANS AND ASKED IF THE APOSTROPHE WAS PROPER, OR DID IT JUST CONFINE ITSELF WITH POSSESSION SHE ALSO THOUGHT THE ENTRY WAS CORRECT BUT ALAS ELEANOR, YOU ARE CORRECT. AFTER RECEIVING YOUR COMMENT I GOOGLED "THE BARRETS OF WIMPOLE STREET. NO APOSTROPHE. THANKS. HOWEVER, THE VERY LARGE 11 X 17 COLORED POSTER WHICH ADVERTISES THE EVENT HAS BEEN PRINTED AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE AND I WILL ASSUME THAT THE ERROR WILL GO UNNOTICED BY MOST!

2010; KUSER FARM PARK BLATANT PARKING VIOLATIONS

Will the 2012 season at Kuser Farm Park continue to experience these blatant parking violations? How any driver can ignore that very prominent "NO PARKING ON BOTH SIDES" sign and not be ticketed is a true mystery. The white car in front is less than 3 feet from the sign! Throughout the week, Hamilton Township workers at Kuser Farm spend hours diligently maintaining the lawns, flower beds, and other amenities at Kuser Farm Park. Here we go with another season, and as in the past few years, strategically placed and PROMINENT no parking signs will be glibly ignored. With the proliferation of parking violations on weekends, the township is passing up the financial benefits of moneys garnered with any fines imposed on the violators. During the past few years, this blatant parking situation has been a common practice, making one wonder why not remove the signs all together?

Sally Logan Gilman said...

Hi Tom: Speaking of Kuser Farm Park, that's a gorgeous spring pix of the park in all its flowering glory at the top of your web page. I love the green background too -- so fitting for this beautiful season. I'm sorry about the cars on the grass -- people are so careless and they are probably well aware that as violators, they will not be penalized. Regards

1970'S: HAMILTON SHOWS "SOUL"

I was devastated when word came that Fred and Edna Kuser's Kuser Farm was too much for the aging couple to maintain. My first indication came by a close neighborhood friend, Billy Dilts who at the time was working for Weidel Realtors. I just could not imagine Kuser Farm that the Glover family was so close to over the years being turned into an area full of "McMansions," with their vinyl clad siding and overpopulation. As it turned out, Maury Perilli, way back in earlier years was approached by fellow Democrat Edna Kuser about leaving their beloved home. Subsequently, former Mayor Jack Rafferty, succeeded in purchasing the land for the good of the public. The rest is history. Today we have a well maintained Kuser Farm Park, and even though some of the "outbuildings" are deteriorating, the mansion and grounds are in exquisite condition.

1982: EDNA HOWE KUSER

I hand colored this photo of Edna Kuser. It reposes in the "KUSER FARM" folder in the Hamilton Township Public Library's Local History Collection. Many of my "The Way We Were" columns in the old Mercer Messenger are being preserved for posterity. As to those of you whom I suspect are a bit perplexed or possibly bored by my frequent Kuser Farm related posts, I ask that you just arrow down to the next graphic. As the "webmaster" of this site, I will continue to honor and cherish the memories I have not only of the Kusers and Kuser Farm, but of recalling my thousands of more than 75 year of old memories of growing up from boyhood to adulthood in this wonderful township of Hamilton; It is important to remember that these posts are first person local history stories. Additionally, I believe that our grandchildren and great grandchildren will find that reading of life in the fast fading 1930's through the 1950's will be of great interest. How I wish I had asked for some of my mom and dad's memories of their young years; those reminiscences would have given me a very pleasant insight as to their young years.

1944: MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HOWE NURSERIES

Edna Kuser's father, former Pennington Mayor and very active Pennington citizen William Patton Howe opened a branch operation on Greenwood Avenue in the Bromley section, a mere 3 blocks from my Atlantic Avenue home. He also had a sizeable plot of land on Fritz and Edna's Kuser Farm property between the Kuser grape arbor and Edna Kuser's Raspberry patch. As I recall, "young Bill" Howe was in charge of the nursery during this time period.

I did this transparent-colorized Photoshop ad that looked drab in black and white. I'm sure you will agree that it takes on a whole new appearance when given the festive red and green accents.

1999: REMEMBERING THOSE SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIES AT "THE FARM"

Unfortunately, the last time those projectors in the Kuser projection booth were run was way back in the 1970's when Don Slabicki and I did a quick run-through with a squirt can of oil. They are apparently going to be relegated to be viewed as relics, even though they are quite able to project 35 sound movies. How we loved those Sunday night movies!

Sad story relating to Fritz's movie making: Knowing they were hazardous nitrate films in cans, Fritz told me I could have them. They were in the chicken house near the tennis house. However, when the Township took over, they mysteriously disappeared. I remember there were MANY wonderful family movies. One of particular interest to me was on in which my brother Bud was working down at the grape arbor with Fritz as they were either cutting or pruning the grapes.

Ca. 1905 HELEN MACK (SUTTERLIN) ON KUSER FRONT LAWN

Many years ago, I interviewed Mrs. Helen Sutterlin, the young girl in the photo. on her relationship to the earliest years of Kuser Farm. Her father, Herman Mack was the second caretaker of the property, and also the builder of many of the buildings on the property that still exist including the corn crib, the old chicken house and the garages. Mrs. Sutterlin's reminiscences of those years were very interesting. Note that the mansion is seen as it was in its original state before the "wrap around" porch was enclosed. The original railing on the second floor was removed in 1950 when a hurricane knocked down a huge mahogany tree that was located precariously close to the building. When the township took over the property in the 1970's then Mayor Jack Rafferty replicated the railings on the upper level.

Hi Tom:

I must commend you on your detailed history of the Kuser Family and their involvement in the greater Trenton area, both socially, and as industrialists.
I like many others recognize your affection for the Kusers, and your personal relationship with the "Farm". I became acquainted with some of the Kusers over the years. At the farm and tennis through my good friend and tennis partner ( he carried me) Edgar Levy. Edgar would reflect how his dad, and Fritz Kuser bailed out Darrel Zanuck and 20th Century Fox Studios in the 29 crash. in gratitude Fox sent prints of films not yet release to Fritz for his Sunday viewing pleasure. Others through family contacts, and business. Many people, not paying attention, would hear my name, and assume I was "Mike Kuser of Kuser Mountain." Perhaps you can illuminate the connection between the Kuser's and the Jim Kearny family. I always had a great relationship with the Kearnys since Jim was originally from Cooper St. and the family beonged to Sacred Heart Church, my home parish. The Kearnys supported the church till the last.

Always happy to learn somthing new from reading your writings.
Continue the great work.

Sincerely

Mike Kuzma

2011: REMEMBERING THE KUSERS

Below: Fred Kuser, Tom Glover, Edna Kuser, Don Slabicki; all very sad that the Kusers could no longer manage the lovely kuser homestead and the surrounding area. Edna is holding a sketch I drew of the house which was in possession of the Kusers since it was built in 1896.

Below: My brother "Bud" began working for Fred and Edna Kuser back in 1940 doing odd jobs around the sprawling Kuser Farm. He became very proficient in operating Fred Kuser's 35 millimeter movie projectors and spent many summers with the Kusers up in Jackson, New Hampshire. When Bud entered the service in 1945, I and my best friend Don Slabicki took his place and we worked for the Kusers until the 1950's when we went into the service. My "little brother" Donnie and his best friend Ken Slabicki took over after we left. I have very pleasant memories of my time with the Kusers. Many of the readers of my hundreds of columns over the past 30 years will recall the many articles written about my years there. I have also presented numerous "on screen" multi media presentations in the Kuser dining room an projected them on Fritz's Cinemascope screen. When Fritz and Edna were leaving their beloved home, I presented them with a booklet I wrote entitled, "KUSER FARM; A JOY FOREVER." I still have the note I received from them expressing their gratitude. The above graphics are from my "KUSER FARM" AND "KUSER FAMILY" folders. I will be posting more in future posts. We made numerous visits to the Howe home in Pennington, and fondly recall how Fritz always referred to Edna Kuser's father as "Mayor," which he was for a number of years.

HI TOM...I OFTEN WONDERED HOW MANY HOMES WERE LOCATED ON KUSER'S FARM. MY WIFE'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE LIST HER ADDRESS AT BIRTH AS "SOMEWHERE ON KUSER'S FARM". I RECALL THE FARM AS TAKING UP A LARGE PORTION OF THE TOWNSHIP BUT WERE THERE STREETS THROUGHOUT THE FARM. THE KUSERS SURE WERE VERY ACTIVE IN THE NEWS DURING MY CHILDHOOD. REGARDS.
