Stanley Wojciechowski

Stanley Wojciechowski was born in Poland around 1888. He came to America, but remained committed to his Polish heritage. In 1917 he went to Niagara Lake, Canada, and enlisted in the Polish Army then training there. He went overseas, and served under General Haller until 1920.

After Stanley Wojciechowski returned to Camden, he became a member of The Polish Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 121. He also became involved in the bar business as an owner, becoming the proprietor of the Rosemont Cafe at 2051 Arlington Street in Camden’s Eighth Ward. He remained owner of the bar until he passed away.

Stanley Wojciechowski died in October of 1936 at 1215 Decatur Street, the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary Lisowski. After funeral services at St. Joseph’s Church, he was buried at St. Joseph’s Cemetery at Chews Landing in Gloucester Township, New Jersey.

Three masked and armed stick-up men obtained $6 loot early today when they raided the Cafe of Stanley Wojciechowski, at 2051 Arlington Street.

The holdup men, shabbily dressed directed Wojciechowski, his wife, their daughter, Stella, and Mrs. Mary Miller, of Westville, to turn their faces to the wall. Cowing the four with revolvers, one of the trio rifled the proprietor’s pockets; then all three fled in an automobile they had left parked in front of the cafe.

Camden Detective Sergeant Rox Saponare said each of the four victims expressed belief the bandits could be identified.
