Twenty-Fifth Street

Cramer Hill, East Camden, NJ
Page Contents

Twenty-Fifth Street

Twenty-Fifth Street begins in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill and ends in East Camden at Carman Street. When it was first laid out, sometime prior to 1887, it was called Fulton Street, the renaming taking place sometime after the 1899 annexation of Stockton Township to Camden. The street begins at the Delaware River, where the Farragut Sportsman Association has its docks, and runs south, across River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then to Federal Street, then for one short block to Carman Street. Prior to World War II, there were several houseboats moored at the foot of North 25th Street.

As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 25th Street above Federal, and South 25th below.

Two Firefighters Hurt, 3 Homeless After Blaze

Camden Courier-Post —

Two city firefighters were injured and three people left homeless early Wednesday when a two-alarm fire heavily damaged attached homes in the 1000 block of North 25th Street.

Camden City Chief Fire Marshal Herb Leary said the fire erupted about 4:05 a.m. in a basement lighting fixture of a home at 1006 North 25th Street occupied by a couple. Their names were not immediately available.

The fire spread through the home and into the home of an 82-year-old woman at 1008 North 25th Street. The woman, who was not immediately identified, was awakened by a smoke alarm in her home, Leary said.

All three people fled their burning homes before firefighters arrived. The American Red Cross was helping them to relocate, Leary said.

Firefighters fought the blaze until about 5:45 a.m. before declaring it under control. Two city firefighters, Capt. Duane Goobic and Firefighter Jim Ryan, were injured battling the blaze. Both were taken to Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center in Camden.

Goobic was treated for a cut on his lip and Ryan was treated for an ankle sprain. Both were released after treatment, Leary said.

While city firefighters were fighting the blaze, they also were called at about 4:30 a.m. to battle a fire in a vacant home in the 500 block of Pfeiffer Street.

Leary said someone had placed a 100-pound canister of propane gas in the home and set it ablaze. The tank burned but did not explode. The fire extensively damaged the home.

Move or Go to Jail, Man Told by Court

Camden Courier-Post —

An East Camden man was given one day to vacate the house he now occupies or go to jail. The moving order was issued yesterday by Police Judge Pancoast to William J. Cassidy, 918 North Twenty-fifth Street, when he was arraigned upon complaint of Harold Hartman, representative of Carl Evered Company, 450 Broadway, real estate firm.

Hartman said the man had been evicted on April 27 and his furniture removed to the street by officers of the district court. When the officers left, Hartman said, Cassidy moved his furniture back into the house. Cassidy said he returned to the house when the court officials said it would be all right to do so.

Man Flies Over U.S. to Dying Daughter — Camden Courier-Post, June 6, 1932

After her father had won a race with death across the country by airplane to reach her side, Marjorie Ann McClelland, 6, succumbed to scarlet fever in Camden Municipal Hospital. She was buried privately Saturday in Wenonah Cemetery.

The girl died Tuesday, 24 hours before her grandmother, Mrs. Fanny P. Cranmer, passed away at her home, 45 North Twenty-fifth street.

Marjorie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William G. McClelland, formerly of Camden and Pitman, now residing in Hollywood. Mrs. McClelland came East with her daughter to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Cranmer, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Arleigh P. Hess, Mullica Hill. Marjorie contracted scarlet fever during the visit.

When McClelland received word of his daughter’s condition he boarded a passenger airplane on the Pacific coast and crossed the country in 24 hours’ flying time. He arrived at his daughter’s bedside before she died.

McClelland has long been connected with the old Victor Talking Machine Co., and was sent to Hollywood a few years ago by the firm when talking pictures came into vogue.

Mrs. Cranmer died Wednesday after an illness of two weeks. She was 67 and a resident of Camden for 50 years. Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. tomorrow and burial will be in Arlington Cemetery.

Mrs. Cranmer is survived by her husband, a Philadelphia commission merchant; three daughters, Mrs. Harry Benkert, Reba Cranmer and Mrs. McClelland; a son, Harry; five sisters and a brother. Her sisters are Mrs. George Paynter, Mrs. Oliver Craft, Philadelphia; Mrs. Edward Parrett, Laurel Springs; Mrs. Philip Leonard, Gibbsboro, and Mrs. Harry Whitmeyer, Collingswood.

This antique dual dwelling on N. 25th st., directly to the rear of the newly refurbished Kotlikoff store, is causing headaches and heartaches to members of the East Camden Merchants’ Association, who would like to see it razed and room made for a good-sized parking lot for their customers. Strangely enough, the owner is none other than Cecelia Sussman, of 2609 Baird blvd., who is also the owner of one of the nicest specialty shops in the 2500 block of Federal st., and a member of the association which is hoping she will tear it down.

Community Tips Lead to Takedown of Camden Brothel

Office of the Camden County Prosecutor —

Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo, Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson and Camden County Sheriff Chuck Billingham reported two men have been charged for promoting prostitution following a takedown at a brothel in Camden thanks to tips from the community.

Concerned residents alerted law enforcement to a possible house of prostitution operating at 127 North 25th Street in the city’s Dudley section. Detectives conducted several weeks of surveillance at the residence and executed a search warrant around 10 a.m. on Wednesday.

Two suspects, Roberto Lemuz, 39, of Camden, and Esteban Alcemon, 39, of New York City, were taken into custody and charged with third-degree promoting prostitution. They were remanded to the Camden County Jail with bail set at $125,000 each. Both men are in the United States illegally and face deportation. Members of Homeland Security Investigations will be filing immigration detainers on both suspects.

Detectives also located two New York City women in their 40s who acknowledged being employed as prostitutes at the house. The women were not charged in this investigation. They were provided assistance and services from the Dreamcatcher Foundation, a nonprofit that helps victims of human trafficking and prostitution.

The search warrant was carried out by Camden County Prosecutor’s Office detectives from the Major Crimes Unit and Special Victims Unit as well as law enforcement officers from the Camden County Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations. The Camden County Sheriff’s Office SERT Team was called in to make entry to the residence and did so without incident.

Gunfight Wounds Child, 3, and Three Others

Camden Courier-Post —

By George Clark and Jim Walsh, Courier-Post Staff

Four people, including a 3-year-old boy, were wounded when a running gun battle erupted on a city street Friday.

All of the victims were reported in stable condition after the shootout, which occurred around 6 p.m. in the 900 block of North 25th Street.

Two victims were 16- and 18-year-old males, police said. The fourth was a 73-year-old man, whom neighbors described as a bystander.

Observers expressed shock at the daylight violence, which left the street littered with shell casings.

“Everybody’s terrified,” said Joselyn Hernandez of Cherry Hill, who was visiting her mother’s home near the shooting scene. She blamed the gunfire on drug dealers who operate on the block.

Police still were trying to piece together what happened late Friday. No arrests had been made by press time.

The child who was shot was being held by one of the victims, who was a family member, said police spokeswoman Teresa Sicard Archambeault. She said it was not immediately clear if the man was part of the melee. The family relationship was not known.

But Hernandez, who arrived shortly after the gunfight, said her mother witnessed a man shooting as he held the child.

Hernandez and other neighbors also said the older victim was a customer at a nearby restaurant.

Multiple shots were fired during the gunfight, which extended to 24th Street and River Road, said Archambeault.

Police said all the injured were taken to Cooper University Hospital. The victims’ names and the extent of their injuries were not released.

Hernandez said the block has “very good neighbors,” but noted it also has two abandoned houses that are used by drug dealers.

“A lot of these guys don’t even live in this block,” said Hernandez. “Now they’re turning against each other and trying to kill one another.”
