1924: St. James P.E. Church Picnic

Alan Wildblood is one of my more loyal and knowledgeable visitors who really does me a large favor by pointing out errors, large and small which I frequently make on this website. Alan emailed me this morning and notified me that I had credited the photo above to St. James P.E. Church when the banner in the photo clearly identifies St. Paul's. ( These errors are probably due to advancing senility, and also the fact that at times during my earlier years, I attended both St. James and St.Paul's on Centre Street.) Thanks for the heads up, Alan.

Unfortunately only the names of the contest winners is published in the photo above. Perhaps a St. Paul's P.E. "old timer" can recognize some of the folks in the photo.

1914: ST. PAUL'S P.E. CHURCH - SOUTH TRENTON

THE POST FOLLOWING THIS IS AN INTERESTING THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF ST. PAUL'S P.E. CHURCH. IT WAS A QUAINT OLD ENGLISH TYPE CHURCH WHICH WAS THE PLACE OF WORSHIP OF MANY SOUTH TRENTON IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND, INCLUDING MY FATHER AND HIS BROTHER AND SISTERS.

ST. PAUL'S PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH

THIS IS THE CHURCH OF MY YOUTH. IT WAS HERE EVERY SUNDAY MORNING IN THE LATE 30'S AND EARLY 1940'S THAT I SAT IN MISS SMITH'S SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS. EVERY SUNDAY MORNING A LOCOMOTIVE FROM ONE OF THE SOUTH TRENTON FACTORIES WOULD PASS BY THE WINDOW, SCARCELY 5 FEET AWAY. THE ARTICLE GIVES A FASCINATING MINI HISTORY OF THE CHURCH. PARTICULARLY INTERESTING IS THE CONNECTION OF HEWITT FROM THE HEWITT IRON WORKS, ALSO IN SOUTH TRENTON. LIKE THE HOMES BUILT IN MILLHAM, TODAY'S E. TRENTON AREA, THE CHURCH WAS CONSTRUCTED ALONG THE LINES OF THOSE IN ENGLAND.
