Streets of Camden, NJ

Cherry Street

CHERRY STREET is one of Camden's 'tree' streets, running east-west between Spruce and Walnut Streets.

The western end of Cherry Street, below South 3rd Street, was the original southern border of the Fettersville tract, named for Richard Fetters, a prominent citizen of 19th century Camden. Fetters played a vital role in establishing the City of Camden. Richard Fetters in 1833 purchased from Charity and Grace Kaighn the land lying between Line and Cherry Streets, extending from Third Street to the Delaware River. fetters, a Quaker, was a political and civic leader light years ahead of his time in his commitment to address the needs of his fellow citizens. The town of Fettersville grew rapidly, and in 1835 an additional tract was purchased from the Kaighn family extending south to Mount Vernon Street.

Lots originally laid out by Fetters, measured 30x200 feet and in 1835 were assessed at $50 each. These low rates attracted many buyers of modest mean, a large portion of them South Jersey and Philadelphia blacks. He platted these lands into lots and sold them for $125 for a lot 40 x 100 feet. Fetter's plan placed the fronts on the streets running east and west in consideration of his design for a ferry to be located at the foot of Spruce Street. This ferry never was built, as the Kaighns' Point Ferry more than adequately serviced the area's needs.

Do you have a Cherry Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.

Phil Cohen

When I was a kid I remember that I was told that in I would guess the first twenty years or so of the 20th century, that Cherry Street was known for all the Italian umbrella makers and repairers, who lived in that neighborhood, and that some people called the west end of Cherry Street "Gas House" or "Coke House" because of the coke plant and PSE&G gas plant. A lot of the Italians that lived in that neighborhood were in the needle and garment trades years later.

Camden Fire kills man, injures 2 other people

By GEORGE MAST
Courier-Post Staff

A three-alarm fire in an abandoned building on Tuesday left one person dead and two others injured, authorities said.

Identities were not available for victims of the blaze, which was reported around 10:30 a.m. in the 2200 block of Cherry Street in South Camden.

A man who was pulled from the fire was declared dead at the scene, said Camden City Chief Fire Marshal Ralph Roberts. A woman who was helped from the burning building suffered smoke inhalation, he said.

A fire captain was taken to Cooper University Hospital with minor injuries.

Rescue workers arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the building, Roberts said.

He said it was not known if the victims were living in the abandoned building, which was last used as an auto-detailing shop.

The fire's cause remains under investigation.

	406 Cherry Street Anthony & Rose "Nellie" Tantonio This House was built in 1899. I was pleased to find this photo of my Uncle Tony & Aunt Nellie’s Home. About Anthony and Rose Tantonio, Uncle Tony spelled the name as ‘Tantonio’ but my Grandparents spelled it ‘Tantone’. Records of when they arrived at Ellis Island and all other records indicate ‘Tantone’. They are buried side by side in Calvary; my maternal grandparent’s marker reads ‘Tantone’ and their marker ‘Tantonio’. According to his Sisters he felt the name sounded more Italian spelled as Tantonio. Anthony Venella , September 2011
