Twenty-First Street begins in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill and ends in East Camden at Federal Street. The street had already been laid out by the time the 1887–1888 Camden City Directory was published. The street begins at Harrison Avenue and runs south, across River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then from Howell Street to Federal Street.

30 Minutes Rail Delay At River Rd., 1223 North 21st Street
Camden Courier-Post —
30 Minutes Rail Delay At River Rd.
Mrs. Fannie May, 64, injured in a Camden automobile-train accident, died at 12.30 p. m. today in Cooper Hospital.
A Camden couple was injured today when their car collided with the front of a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train on River ave. north of Federal st.
In critical condition in Cooper Hospital is Mrs. Fannie May, 72, of 1223 N. 21st st. Under observation at the hospital was her husband, John, 65.
A crossing watchman, Angelo Longo, of 45 Marlton pike, told police the May car, a 1937 Packard, skidded past him and crashed into the train as it moved through the crossing.
Patrolman Joseph Kane said the May car was heading north and after colliding with the engine was tossed along the railroad siding and landed near the watchman's shack.
Kane said he believed the couple might have been killed instantly were it not for the size and weight of the old car.
Mrs. May suffered a possible skull fracture, internal injuries and multiple cuts and bruises, the hospital said. Her husband was treated for head and face cuts and shock.
Railroad officials said the train, bound from Pemberton to Camden with its one passenger car and about 15 passengers, was held up about a half-hour after the accident happened at 8.38 a. m.
The engineer was Samuel F. Sypherd, 431 Unruh st., Philadelphia, and the conductor, Oran Rives, 2904 Stevens st., the railroad said.
Mrs. Fannie L. May Funeral Is Delayed
Camden Courier-Post —
Mrs. Fannie L. May Funeral Is Delayed
Services for Mrs. Fannie L. May, 72, of 1223 N. 21st st., who was killed in an automobile-train collision at River ave. and Federal st. Thursday, will be held next week at the Davies Funeral Chapel, 4522 Westfield ave., Pennsauken.
The funeral will be delayed several days because her husband, John L. B., is in Cooper Hospital under treatment for injuries suffered in the crash. Burial will be in Bethel Memorial Park.
Mrs. May was born in Philadelphia and was a resident of Camden 56 years. She was a member of Catherine Chalmers Chapter 272, OES. In addition to her husband, she is survived by a son, John Leroy, of Haddon Heights; a daughter, Mrs. Florence G. Kohlenberg, of Camden; two brothers, William Davidson, of Camden, and John E. Davidson, of Wilmington, Dela.; a sister, Mrs. Lydia Thompson, of Pennsauken, two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Boy, 3, Saved During Blaze By Baby Sitter, 928 North 21st Street
Camden Courier-Post —
An 18-year-old baby sitter ran with her three-year-old charge Monday afternoon from a blazing residence at 1145 DuPont Street in the Cramer Hill section.
Bertha Reed, 928 North 21st Street, was watching Michael Moran, while the child's mother, Mrs. Mary Moran, was out. At 3:55 PM, Miss Reed saw smoke curling up from the living room floor. She quickly put Michael's outdoor clothing on him and ran with him to the street.
Engines 9 and 11 and Truck 3 responded to a box alarm pulled by a neighbor. The firemen found flames had eaten through a partition in the house to the second floor. They donned gas masks before entering the blazing structure.
The fire spread to the basement and first floor of 1143 DuPont Street occupied by Mrs. Moran's mother, Mrs. Anna Abel, who was not at home at the time.
Main damage was to the dining room of the Moran residence. District Fire Chief John Graham said wood piled near a coal stove in the basement had ignited and had fired the partition of the two-story twin, frame dwelling.

East Camden Family Flees from Fire in Night Clothes, 117 North 21st Street

EAST CAMDEN FAMILY FLEES FROM FIRE IN NIGHT CLOTHES
Sparks From Chimney Cause Much Smoke But Little Damage at Home of Richard Cox
Day's Happenings 'Cross the Creek
The family of Richard Cox, 113 North Twenty-first street, were awakened shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning by the smell of smoke, and investigation showed the rooms filled with smoke. (Note: Correct address was 117 North 21st Street.)
All the members of the family were hastily roused and without taking time to don their street clothes rushed from the house. One of the male members of the house rushed to Federal street and asked a motorman of a trolley car to notify the firemen, not knowing that there was a fire alarm box nearby.
In the meantime, someone also phoned into the East Camden Fire House, at Twenty-seventh and Federal streets, and the firemen were soon on the scene.
The firemen on their arrival found that the roof was aflame and had to use a ladder to reach the flames. They soon had the fire under control, and it is not thought the damage will exceed $50.
It is thought sparks from the chimney on the house occupied by Thomas Newton, at 115 North Twenty-first street, caused the roof of No. 113 to catch fire, as sparks were seen flying in all directions from the chimney.

Police Seek Writer of Note Found on Suicide, 27 North 21st Street
Camden Post-Telegram —
POLICE SEEK WRITER OF NOTE FOUND ON SUICIDE
William Cooper, Who Sat in Stupor From Poison for Hours, Died in Cooper Hospital Early To-day Without Offering an Explanation.
MISSIVE IN POCKET MAY BE THE CAUSE
The attempt of William Cooper, of 27 North Twenty-first street, East Side, to end his life had successful culmination at Cooper Hospital shortly before 7 o'clock this morning. County Physician Dr. William S. Jones made a post-mortem examination of the body this morning at the hospital mortuary and found that death resulted from laudanum poisoning. The body was removed to his late home in East Camden this noon by Funeral Director John Crawford.
The following note, in a woman's hand, and partially explanatory of the man's suicide, was found in his inside coat pocket:
“Dear Will:—If you can let me have 50 or 75 cents do so. I would not ask it but when I got home he flew all over me, so you see I want to show him I got paid.
“I can't wait until Clara gets her money because it will be so late on Saturday he might take a tumble to it, and you know it would not do for me to leave home because he may make trouble for me with my mother.
“You are not prepared to give me a home, nor could I go to mother, so for peace sake let me have it. If not send it, then let me know if you could send it by Saturday morning.
“I can say the man will send it down with me. I think he suspects something.
“With love to you double fold.
“You said to me last night that you would have to draw more money, so if you love me help me out of this scrape.”
There was no signature appended to the missive, but the police are endeavoring to locate Clara.
Yesterday afternoon Cooper purchased a vial of laudanum in a drug store under the pretense that he wished to make a poultice for a face ache, and swallowed its entire contents a short distance away, as the empty bottle was found in a coat pocket when he was searched at Cooper Hospital.
About 3 o'clock he walked into Coles' saloon, on Federal street near Twenty-fourth, and took a seat in a back room where for a few minutes he watched a pinochle game. Presently he fell into a deep slumber, but outside of his stentorious breathing which the card players thought was heavy snoring, but was really one of the deadly accompaniments of laudanum poisoning, no notice was taken of him until about 10 o'clock when the saloonkeeper attempted to wake him up. Not being able to arouse him from his stupor, however, Coles called in a policeman who had him sent to Cooper Hospital.
The patient's trouble was at once diagnosed by the experienced hospital physician, Dr. Underwood, and every appliance was brought into action, such as the administering of emetics, flaggelation to stir the sluggish blood and lethargic senses and walking up and down in the open air to prevent him from falling into the sleep that knows no wakening, but all to no avail.
The man was beyond human recall and he lingered in a comatose condition until ten minutes of 7 o'clock this morning, when he died.
William Pedder was lodging at 27 North 21st as early as 1905. He stayed on after William Cooper's suicide, and married Louise Cooper shortly after the compilation of the city Directory. He appears to have died in the late 1920s. Louise Cooper Pedder died in 1941.
