Twenty-Second 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.

5 Swimmers Drowned In So. Jersey Waters
Camden Courier-Post —
Two Brothers Die as One Goes to Aid of Other; Another Treated for Exhaustion After Futile Rescue Attempt
Five swimmers were drowned over the week-end while seeking relief from heat by bathing in South Jersey streams.
Two brothers lost their lives at Crosswicks near Bordentown when one went to the other's aid in Crosswicks creek. Two died in inland waterways at Wildwood, while the fifth was drowned in Cohansey river at Greenwich.
Those drowned were: Claude Tucker, 12, of Crosswicks. Cecil Tucker, 18, of Crosswicks. William Bridges, 14, of Wildwood. William White, 16, of 7914 Lyons avenue, Philadelphia. Owen McCoy, 19, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Tucker brothers were swimming in the creek one mile from their home late Saturday with William Horner, 16, and Clifford Spooner, 12, of Crosswicks. Three of them swam to the river bank, while Claude Tucker stayed in midstream. He suddenly called for “help” and his brother went to his aid. At first it was apparent the older boy could save the younger one, but Claude got a strangle hold on the other, and they both went down.
Bodies Are Recovered
The other two boys went to their aid, but they failed to return to the surface. The boys notified the Hamilton township police, who grappled and recovered the bodies locked in each other’s arms.
Coroner William P. Young and Dr. Theodore Mitskas, Crosswicks, worked with a pulmotor and respirator nearly an hour in a vain effort to revive the boys. Their mother, Mrs. William B. Tucker, who has been ill with heart disease, was prostrated with grief last night.
The boys are also survived by three other brothers and a sister—Aaron, 11; Samuel, 16; Marvin, 25, and Mary, 8.
The White boy was swimming in Hoffman’s canal at North Wildwood yesterday when he was drowned. He and a companion, Vincent Krist, 7930 Lyons avenue, Philadelphia, went to the resort for the day. Krist made a vain effort to save White. He said he dived toward him, but White never came to the surface after going down. Krist said the boy had not eaten a heavy lunch. Beach guards recovered the boy.
Fails in Rescue
Young Bridges was swimming with Charles Carolson, 16, of 511 West Lincoln avenue, Wildwood. When Bridges called for “help” Carolson went to his aid. He struggled with him several minutes and finally became weak and Bridges slipped from his grasp. Carolson had difficulty in getting ashore.
J. W. Reed [sic], 1147 North Twenty-second street, Camden, a passing motorist, notified police and beach guards, who recovered the body. A physician treated Carolson.
The McCoy youth and a companion, Arthur King, 21, of Brooklyn, were swimming in the Cohansey river. He said McCoy gave a startled cry and began to sink. Capt. Charles Briggs of Greenwich set out from shore in a boat. McCoy failed to come to the surface after first going down. McCoy and King went to Greenwich a few days ago to obtain employment.
Emma Metzger, 22, of 2267 South Seventh street, Camden, suffered a fractured skull at 4 p. m. yesterday when her head struck a pipe while diving in Blackwood lake. She was quickly rescued by friends and taken to Underwood Hospital, Woodbury, where he [sic] condition is said to be serious.
Joseph Stewart, 14, of Smith lane and Oaklyn road, Runnemede, received a severe gash on the right knee when he kneeled on glass while bathing at Runnemede. He was treated at Underwood Hospital.

Hey! Watch That Paint, 1128 North 22nd Street
Camden Courier-Post —
Dizzy heights atop ladders hold no fears for Lou and Sue Townsend, sisters, as they apply paint and brushes to their home, 1128 North Twenty-second street.
Sisters Turn Painters and Doll Up House
Brushes Flash on North Twenty-Second Street as Girls Don Overalls and Tackle Man’s Job; Falls Become Part of Day’s Work
The rhythmic swish and slap of paint brushes wielded by feminine arms resounded yesterday on the exterior of a house at 1128 North Twenty-second street.
Back and forth, up and down flashed the brushes in the now dexterous and somewhat paint bedaubed fingers of the Misses Lou and Sue Townsend, sisters, 21 and 17, respectively, who dwell in the house they are painting.
They’ve been on the job about a week and intend to stick to it as long as the paint holds out.
“I guess there’d be enough paint left if we could wring out these,” said Lou ruefully pointing to the overalls she and her sister are wearing.
Sue was climbing with uncertain steps to a top wrung [sic] of the ladder as her sister steadied it at the same time handing her a can of paint.
“Do we ever fall?” exclaimed Sue from her high perch. “I’ll say we do—in fact it’s getting to be a habit and we don’t mind it any more. Pretty hot stuff, though, don’t you think for a couple of females? I’ve got a boy friend with a cottage on the Rancocas and he wants me to come right up and do his place as soon as this job is finished. You know, Lou, that’s not a bad idea. It would be cooler up there on the Rancocas and we could take a dip in the creek during intermissions.”
Lou, whose name is Louise, and Sue, suddenly decided last week that painting the house would relieve them from the boredom of idleness. Their parents are Mr. and Mrs. John J. Townsend.

In Loving Memory of Bessie Williamson Busa
Camden Courier-Post —
IN LOVING MEMORY
BUSA — In loving memory of a dearly beloved wife and mother, Bessie Williamson Busa, who passed away July 30, 1940.
Our lips cannot tell how we miss her,
Our hearts cannot tell what to say.
God alone knows how we miss her,
In a home that is lonesome today.
The depths of sorrow we cannot tell,
Of the loss of one we loved so well;
And while she sleeps a peaceful sleep,
Her memory we shall always keep.
Sadly missed by husband and daughter Joan.
—
BUSA — In loving memory of our beloved daughter Bessie Williamson Busa, who lost her life in the Hollingshead fire July 30, 1940.
No one knows how much we miss you,
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered, since we lost you,
Life has never been the same.
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear Bessie,
That we do not think of you.
Sadly missed by mother and father.
—
BUSA — In loving memory of our dear sister, Bessie Williamson Busa, who died July 30, 1940.
Her smiling way and pleasant face,
Are a pleasure to recall.
She had a kindly word for each,
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet her.
Some day we know not when,
To clasp her hand, in the better land,
Never to part again.
Sadly missed by sisters and brothers.
The Samuel Cooper House, 1102–1104 North 22nd Street
The Samuel Cooper House, 1102–1104 North 22nd Street — Built in 1790. Photographed November 12, 1936.
“When Samuel Cooper decided to move from the ferry-house at Cooper’s Point (known as ‘Cooper’s Point Hotel’) to his farm, which he called ‘Pleasant View Farm,’ now covered by a large part of the Eleventh Ward, he erected the spacious mansion, still standing, on Twenty-second street. It is built of bricks, which were said to have been brought from England, and is two and one-half stories in height. Embedded in the north end of the building, in light colored, bricks, are the initials S P During the ante-bellum days this was one of the ‘stations’ on the line of the ‘Underground Railroad.’ In the hollow to the north of the railroad, between the junction of the Trenton and Mount Holly branches was a favorite location for fugitive slaves. He died in this house in 1812, and during his latter life was very active among the Friends, receiving the commendation of the famous Quaker preacher, John Hunt.”
1102–1104 North 22nd Street — The Samuel Cooper House was gutted by fire in 2008.
1102–1104 North 22nd Street — The fire-gutted shell still stood when these photos were taken in March 2012. The building was demolished by 2018.
A little bit more History on the old colonial farm house on the corner of 22nd Street and Wayne Avenue, the old Samuel Cooper house. For as long as I have known, from 1964, when I was born until late 1979 the house was occupied by my Aunt Jean (nee Hodge) and Uncle Bob (Robert) Catling. They lived there with his daughter Brenda Catling her husband William Gibson Sr. and their children Brenda, Lisa and William Jr. The house is well described in your historical information. The other side of the house was occupied by an older couple of woman, I don’t know much about them, they were kind of private. My uncle was the town’s huckster…he used to go around Cramer Hill and other parts of Camden in his pick-up truck with Lolly. He was the one who used to yell “Fish Man.

Youth Cleared in Killing Dad, Admits Holdup
Camden Courier-Post —
Confessed Bandit
Confesses He and Pal Robbed Two Bus Drivers in Pennsauken Township
CAUGHT BY POLICE AFTER AUTO CHASE
Boy Who Jury Cleared in Father’s Death, Had Promised to Be ‘Good’
Reino A. Thompson.
Arrested yesterday, Thompson, 19, of 805 Linden street, and Henry N. Mallett, 21, of 119 North Ninth street, both of Camden, admitted holding up two bus drivers at Haddonfield road and Park avenue, Pennsauken township, on August 5. Last April Thompson was exonerated of blame in the killing of his father.
A Camden youth who was cleared by the grand jury in the killing of his father was one of two who confessed yesterday to holding up two bus drivers at Haddonfield road and Park avenue, Pennsauken township, on August 5.
Thompson was arrested near Maple Shade after their car was driven into a ditch. Mallett escaped but was arrested at his home.
Police say both youths also admitted they were on their way to hold up another bus driver when Merchantville police became suspicious, and chased them.
The bus drivers, Leon Garringer, of 4725 Poplar avenue, Pennsauken township and Fred Crowder, of 6308 Shelbourne street, Philadelphia, were seated in Garringer’s bus at the end of the route at 11 p. m., August 5, [sic] A coupe drove up beside them. One of the occupants drew a pistol and took $20 from Crowder and $15 from Garringer.
Three hours later a coupe was found abandoned at Cedar and Cooper avenues, Pennsauken. It had been stolen from Warren F. Marshall, of Paulsboro.
Policemen Halt Car
At 2.25 a. m., yesterday, Policemen Edward J. Hare and Herbert A. Davidson, Jr., of Merchantville, became suspicious of an automobile, which they had stopped at Maple and Westminster avenues. Mallett produced his driver’s license, but said a friend had lent them his car and that he had no registration card. The car is believed to have been stolen.
The police ordered Mallett and Thompson, who was a passenger, to drive to the police station at Maple avenue and Centre street. Instead of stopping at the station, the car turned from Centre street into Park avenue, where a pistol was dropped. The police gave chase.
The suspects continued on toward Maple Shade. Near Haddonfield road, a second pistol was thrown from the car.
The police were gaining on the speeding car when it was turned into a ditch at Park avenue and Forked Landing road. Both occupants fled from the car.
Thompson was caught a few hundred feet away but the other youth disappeared.
Marshall’s driver’s license stolen the night of the bus holdup, was found in the car.
Both Admit Holdup
Under questioning by Merchantville police, Thompson confessed his part in the bus holdup and named Mallett as his accomplice. Mallett was arrested yesterday afternoon at his home by Camden City Detective Sylvester McGrath. Mallet also confessed.
The youths told the police they were on their way to Moorestown pike and the East End Hotel, Pennsauken township, terminus of another bus line, where they planned another holdup.
Tags on the car ditched yesterday were stolen from the automobile of Fred Musick, 111 North Twenty-second street, Camden.
The youths were held by Merchantville for a hearing today on charges of carrying concealed deadly weapons. They will be turned over later to Pennsauken authorities on the holdup charge.
Thompson was arrested on April 9 for the killing of his father, Frederick, 45. The son and his mother testified the father had attacked them while drunk. The youth punched his father, who fell and struck his head on a curbstone, dying of a fractured skull.
In thanking the grand jury for his release Thompson declared:
“I’m going to lead a good life and help my mother and family.”
