1938: TRENTON AREA SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS

My cousin and aunts are and were very active members of the Seventh Day Adventist faith. Indeed, my cousin Harry Walker is an elder in the church. There are numerous clippings in the "SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST" folder in the Hamilton Library's Local History Collection. The graphic above is an interesting look at the building on Columbus Avenue in Trenton where the church was once located. Today, the thriving Adventist community makes its home on Route 33 at the Hamilton-Robbinsville border.

1910: SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST TENTED CITY

There are certain aspects of historic research which pose identification problems. This is one of them. The article states that the encampment was on Highland Avenue without further information. There is a Highland Avenue in the Cadwalader-West End area of Trenton, and another in Yardville Heights. Looking at maps of both locations suggests that the encampment was at Yardville Heights. The reason being that the area shown in the photo is very expansive and Trenton's Highland Avenue is very short. Don Wright, do you have any information on the possibility that the Adventists set up a tent city in the Heights? My Aunt, Uncle and cousins were Seventh Day Adventists but unfortunately they are no longer with us.
