Camden, NJ

Page Contents

Introduction

This page contains links to pages about people who have contributed to the flavor of Camden over the past 389 years… that's right, 389, because it was in 1624 that the first comments by people who kept written records were made.

Here you find links to the great, the near great, the interesting, and the evil. Doctors, lawyers, craftsmen, artists, entertainers, musicians, and mobsters; teachers, preachers, bankers, bakers, and undertakers. Policemen, firemen, first-, second-, and third-basemen. Infielders and insiders, not to mention journalists and numbers writers.

As with every other aspect of this website, Comments, suggestions, and material to add to the these pages are very much appreciated, which is to say, I've started this, but YOU are more than welcome to be a part of it. If you think someone should be mentioned here, then do so, and they will be… it's as simple as that.

If your Aunt Sadie took care of half the kids on your block, then TELL the story. If Uncle Charlie coached Little League, here is where we tell his story. If YOU played baseball with a kids team at Dudley Grange 50 years ago, here is where it can, and will be told.

This section grew and continues to grow to a size far beyond what I imagined it would. My idea of “People of Note” is better defined as “Interesting People”, and Camden sure has had and continues to have them! As always, suggestions are more than welcome!

Check out the people, click on the hyperlinks to learn more about the world in which these people lived, comment at the bottom of the page, and most importantly, Enjoy Yourself!
