Twenty-Sixth Street

Cramer Hill, East Camden, NJ
Page Contents

Introduction

Twenty-Sixth Street begins in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill and ends in East Camden when it intersects with Bank and Mickle Streets. It was first laid out sometime prior to 1887; it was called Union Street, and was renamed sometime after the 1899 annexation of Stockton Township to Camden. The street begins at the Delaware River and runs south, across River Road, intersects with North 27th Street, then starts again once beyond the Pavonia railroad switching yard at Howell Street south to Westfield Avenue, where it is interrupted by the “firehouse-police station-library” triangle between Westfield and Federal Street. At Federal the street runs on for two blocks, where it terminates at the intersection of Bank and Mickle Streets.

As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 26th Street above Federal, and South 26th below.

Johnson, Garrity, Crawford, Stahl Retire Aug. 31

Four police officers and four firemen applied for pensions under the mandatory 65-year-old retirement law today.

The applications, all approved by the police-firemen pension board, are in line with Commissioner Aaron’s order in December, 1948, advising chiefs of the respective services that state law requires retirement of all personnel who have reached 65.

Police officers to be pensioned are Detective Capt. Samuel E. Johnson, 71, Capt. John T. Garrity, 65, Detective Frank Crawford, 69, and Patrolman Harry Stahl, 68.

Fire department members include Deputy Chief Clarence Madden, 67, and Firemen John Prucella, 75; Spencer Smith Sr., 68, and Frank L’Esperance, 66.

The eight men will retire Aug. 31, with each receiving one-half of the average annual salary of the last three years.

Also approved today was an application for a widow’s pension by Mrs. Carrie Bean, 1103 North Twenty-sixth street. Her husband, Patrolman Howard Bean, died June 8, eight days after being pensioned. She will receive $1000 annually.

Captain Johnson, of 211 Elm street, is considered the dean of the police department, having served 40 years.

Johnson, who will receive $2019 annually, was appointed in April, 1910, and was made a detective 10 years later. He was elevated to sergeant in November, 1928, and to lieutenant in 1930. One year after he was cited in 1942 by former Public Safety Director Mary Kobus, Johnson was raised to captain. He served as acting police chief from December, 1947, to December, 1949.

Captain Garrity will receive $1601 annually. He served as commander in each of the three city districts. Garrity was appointed in January, 1920; made sergeant July, 1930; lieutenant in 1940, and captain on June 30, 1944. He lives at 2515 Morgan boulevard.

Following a “pep” meeting with city detectives Thursday, Aaron announced he had transferred Captain Garrity to his office for “special assignments.” Sgt. William Schultz was named acting captain to head the third police district to replace Garrity.

Crawford, of 578 Chestnut street, will draw $1501. He was named to the force in 1912 and resigned eight years later. In 1931 he was reinstated and received a promotion to detective status in 1942. He was cited by former Chief John Golden.

Stahl Appointed in 1917

Stahl lives at 1513 Baird avenue. After his appointment in 1917, he saw service in most departments of the bureau. He will receive an annual pension of $1401.

Chief Madden, 2760 Mickle street, is serving as fire commander for the second fire district at Twenty-seventh and Federal streets. He was appointed July 1, 1910 and assigned to Engine Co. 5, Fifth and Arch streets.

In 1922 he was raised to lieutenant, and six years later became senior captain. Madden was named battalion chief Nov. 21, 1944 and deputy chief on Dec. 16, 1949.

Madden will receive about $2000, with the others drawing approximately $1358 annually.

Prucella, 919 Penn street, was sworn in on Nov. 1, 1911 and joined Engine Co. 5. Since 1933 he has been serving at No. 6 Engine Co., Front and Linden streets.

Smith was appointed May 1, 1914 and assigned to No. 1 Engine Co., Fourth and Pine streets. He has been attached to No. 10 Engine Co., Ninth street and Morgan boulevard, since 1920.

Frank L’Esperance, 604 Clinton street, is also a member of No. 10 Engine Co., where he has been attached since 1938. He was appointed June 6, 1918 and served with No. 5 and No. 3 engine companies.

Used as Junkyard / Gone But Not Forgotten

An 11th property, located at 1147-49 N. 26th st., placed on the condemned list, is used as a junkyard, against which residents in the neighborhood have complained. It is owned by Michael Mazzilli, whose address city records list as 1149 N. 26th st. The report by the inspector cites: “This huge one-story frame enclosure is virtually in a state of collapse. It is badly deteriorated, leaning dangerously and absolutely beyond repair. It is cluttered with junk, refuse of all kinds and is in itself a grave fire hazard. The existence of this irreparable structure is disgracefully and definitely inimical to the general public.”

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN is the junkyard that formerly stood on this site at 26th st. and Pierce ave. The yard was on the list of condemned properties in the city. Several months ago its condition was publicized by The Courier-Post by photograph and story. A recent visit to the area found this condition existing. The structure is down but much of the ruins still lie strewn about the ground. The owner is listed by city records as Michael Mazilli, care of Guiseppe Mazilli, 15 Marlton ave.

DENIED WIFE'S KISS, HUSBAND ENDS LIFE

Suicide Follows Quarrel; Woman Uncovers Death After Visiting Neighbors

Despondent because his wife refused to kiss him after a quarrel, Elwood T. Payne, 27, of 1116 North Twenty-sixth street, committed suicide last night by inhaling gas.

According to the wife, Mildred, they recently remarried after having been divorced.

Payne, employed in the mechanical department of a Philadelphia newspaper, and his wife quarreled yesterday morning, she told Detective Clifford Carr.

At 7 p. m. when she told him she was going to visit neighbors, he asked her to kiss him goodbye. She refused, telling him she was "still mad," she said.

When she returned at 9 p. m., she smelled gas in the kitchen and believed her husband had attempted to frighten her. Then, hearing water running in the bathroom, she entered.

She found her husband dead, gas pouring from a hot water heater. She summoned police. Physicians at Cooper Hospital, where Payne was removed, said he had been dead about an hour. Coroner Benjamin R. Denny issued the death certificate.

141 North 26th Street — George Elton, Philadelphia Inquirer, July 29, 1914

East Camden Man Loses $13, Which Negro Highwayman Secures After Gagging Him

On his way home from work yesterday afternoon George Elton, of 141 North Twenty-sixth street, East Camden, was held up and robbed on Baird avenue, near Marlton pike. His assailant, a negro, secured $13 and made his escape.

Elton works in South Camden, and he cut through Baird avenue at Forest Hill Park to reach his home. As he was walking along he heard someone say, “Pretty hot day,” and when he replied in the affirmative and looked around he saw the negro. The next moment, Elton asserts, he was knocked unconscious by some blunt instrument. When he regained consciousness he was gagged and his money, representing his week’s wages, had been taken. Persons passing through the avenue found Elton lying on the ground.

Compulsory Education for Motorists, letter to the editor by Walter Gais, 30 North 26th Street

Compulsory Education for Motorists

To the Editor:

Sir—Apparently the only way to adequately impress the recalcitrant motorist, who fails to observe safety rules regarding sensible automobile driving, and who by so doing not alone endangers his own, but other innocent lives, is a compulsory educational course and spelling lesson at his own expense from which there is no redress but payment.

Once when it costs real honest to goodness money, bucks (U. S. currency), then, no matter how fast one drives or how small the sign, he will observe and be impressed by such signs as: Stop Street; 40-Mile Limit, Go Slow; No Left Turn, etc.

Perhaps one can save himself needless worry, time and expense by giving heed in advance and taking a tip.

Walter Gais.

'Have the Ambulance Ready', letter to the editor by Walter Gais, 30 North 26th Street

‘Have the Ambulance Ready’

To the Editor:

I see they are planning to build a new dirigible for the Navy, so I guess they better get ready for the next disaster.

The long list of crashes overtaking such lighter-than-air craft should have discouraged the House naval affairs committee from any more such projects. The big balloon probably will turn out to be another flying coffin that will make widows and bereaved mothers on a wholesale scale.

If we have to throw that money away, I say, why not put it into some more boondoggling?

At least that will keep radio comedians in material for their gags and thus spread cheer over the nation instead of gloom.

Or seriously, why not put it in fighting planes which have proved their worth whole?

Walter Gais.

Several Firemen Hurt; Oil Plant and Homes Are Menaced

BLAZE WORST IN 18 MONTHS

Fire swept the wholesale store of Antrim Hardware Company, 1514 and 1516 Federal street last night, damaged the stock to the extent of $100,000, injured several firemen, menaced homes and the plant of the Standard Oil Company opposite. It was the first three-alarm fire in Camden since January, 1937.

One of the firemen, Ralph Bingaman, of Truck Company No. 1, was cut severely on the right hand and foot by falling glass and went to the Cooper Hospital. Another hoseman, Ray Smith, of headquarters, also was cut on the right hand but stuck to his fire fighting after his wounds were dressed.

Huge choking billows of smoke that rolled over the fighters balked them several times in their efforts to check the fire, but they remained at their posts and finally subdued the blaze after a battle of several hours.

Spread Rapidly

Chief John H. Lennox declared the fire started midway on the first floor from some unknown cause and spread so rapidly before its discovery efforts of the firemen were greatly hindered. Louis Gold, proprietor of the Federal Automobile Company, which adjoins the Antrim place, discovered the blaze and sent in an alarm at 7 p. m.

He then telephoned to Councilman E. Hulings Antrim, of Merchantville, treasurer of the concern, who raced to the fire, together with his mother, Mrs. Elwood Antrim, widow of the founder of the firm. Later B. Frank Antrim, president of the firm, arrived. The members of the family conferred and decided to reopen today their other store at Twenty-sixth and Federal streets, and to secure if possible an unoccupied floor of a chain store building to carry on the business. The stock, according to Antrim, was fully insured.

The firm was created on December 1, 1889, and had made arrangements to celebrate its golden anniversary. Mrs. Antrim, mother of the treasurer, stated she had half the anniversary number ready for publication “but the first fire we ever had has ruined all that now.”

Smashes Windows

When Gold, accompanied by his son, Marvin, discovered the fire, the latter smashed in two front windows on the first floor to permit the smoke to roll and and [sic] to prevent an explosion inside, he said. Meanwhile, Leroy Garrison, who lives at 50 South Twenty-fourth street, was driving past in his automobile.

He saw smoke rolling upward from the first floor and ran to the rear of the structure and threw open the door to permit the smoke to roll free at the rear.

Eight minutes after the first alarm was sounded Chief Lennox ordered a second, then a third at 7.33 p. m. Eight engines and two hook and ladder trucks responded and the fight began to keep the flames from spreading in the neighborhood. With the wind blowing north, the tanks of the oil company across the street seemed threatened, but the interior of the structure was bulked with two firewalls which held and gave the firemen a chance to get into action and beat down the flames.

Paint, chemicals and tar paper stored on the second floor made a dense, choking smoke that completely concelead [sic] the neighborhood and the hundreds of spectators that thronged the vicinity to watch the fire. Two tenants in nearby houses, Miss Agnes Mitchell and Mrs. Roy Dilks, 72, living in 1510 and 1508, respectively, were unaware of the fire right next door until the police sent them to safety.

Miss Mitchell said she was in the shed in the rear of her home and the first she heard of the fire was when a policeman ordered her to get out.

Refused to Leave

Mrs. Dilks, alone in the house at the time, refused to leave. She told the police she didn’t want to go, because the family had lived there but a month and her relatives were away. Finally she was urged to depart and did, finding refuge with Mrs. Albert Bowne, whose husband runs a printing shop a few doors below.

When Councilman Antrim arrived on the scene he attempted to rescue records of the firm which he said could never be replaced. Five times he entered the smoking building and five times he was turned back by the firemen.

Finally two firemen, Andrew Ballantine, who drives Chief Lennox, and Ladderman John Strauss, of Truck Company No. 4, forged their way through the dense smoke and retrieved the records.

Antrim fixed his damages from smoke and water at $100,000 which he said was the amount of stock in the building. Mrs. Antrim, his mother, stood under an umbrella near the burning building, and refused to go back.

“We’ll open tomorrow,” said the energetic woman, “and not let this bother us. This firm was created in 1889 when Hulings, my son, was four, and B. Frank Antrim, now president, and myself ran the businees [sic] and we’re not going to let this get us down, you bet.”

Antrim said he was the last person to leave the building at 5 p. m., and everything appeared to be all right then. The burglar alarm with which the building is equipped did not sound, so Antrim says no one could have entered the building after he departed.

Truck in Collision

Truck in Collision

After Engine Company No. 10 was sent home the apparatus was sideswiped by a traveling sandwich wagon, owned and driven by Emido Martelli, of 1315 Thurman street, at Eleventh street and Newton avenue.

Martelli’s wife and 25-months- old son were aboard the wagon at the time but none was injured. Police took Martelli to City Hall where he was asked for a statement as to the accident. According to the persons on the scene, Martelli was driving on Eleventh street when the engine came along Newton avenue, with its siren open.

The wagon driver did not seem to pay attention to the screams of the whistle and continued, the front of his car grazing the side of the apparatus.

When Engine Company No. 9, at Twenty-first and Federal streets, the first engine to respond to the alarm, reached the hydrant the firemen found an automobile parked there, and locked. They had to push the car out of the way, in order to get a hose to the hydrant.

Chief Lennox said the last time the department received a third alarm was when fire gutted the store of the McCrory Company at Broadway and Kaighn avenue.

Denounced and flayed as a “moral degenerate,” Policeman Ira Hall was summarily dismissed by the police committee of City Council last night following the most sensational hearing in the history of that body.

Resignations of Detective George Murry and Policemen Tony Latorre and William Draper, also were accepted before the hearing adjourned. Councilman J. Hartley Bowen, who presided, declared that “on their face the resignations appeared as an admission from the men of their guilt.” None of the three who tendered their resignations were present at the hearing.

The four men have been charged by City Solicitor Bleakly with responsibility for “shocking” vice conditions found in recent investigations made by federal agents and city officials in the Third and Fifth wards.

Committee’s Resolution

Just before the close of the hearing, shortly after 10 o’clock, Councilman Enos Dellmuth, of the Ninth ward, introduced a resolution urging a continuation of the vice probe by city officials and requesting that Solicitor Bleakly present to Prosecutor Wolverton “all evidence of a criminal nature” against the four accused.

His resolution, which the committee unanimously adopted, follows:

“Resolved that the city solicitor present to the prosecutor of the pleas all evidence of a criminal nature against officers George Murry, Ira Hall, William Draper and Tony Latorre in order that indictments may be secured against said officers, if the evidence justifies the same, and so that the ends of justice may be furthered and the community protected against a repetition of the evil conditions brought to light in the investigation, as far as it has gone.

“And be it further resolved that the investigation of vice conditions in the city be continued by the officials in charge of the recent investigation.”

Among those who attended the hearing besides Solicitor Bleakly and [?] were Frank S. Van Hart, president of Council, Chief of Police Gravenor, Assistant Chief Hyde and members of the police committee, including Councilmen Bowen, Dellmuth, Von Nieda, Bantivoglio, Corea, Dobbins, Dudley, Kelly and Payne. Each member of the committee took a personal interest in the proceedings and [?] question after question at the defendant and witnesses.

Spectators Jam Room

Spectators, among whom were several women welfare workers, filled every bit of space in police court, where the hearing was conducted. Expressions of disgust could be seen on many faces as revelations of the depravity that exists in the tenderloin district were made. Husky policemen, who by virtue of their duties one would expect to be accustomed to stories of immoral practices, almost blushed when they heard the startling accusations.

Hall seemed to have been assuming an attitude of defiance as indicated by accusations he directed at his superiors. He explained he had no lawyer and was entitled to all the privileges of a witness under such circumstances. He sat most of the time in a chair opposite the witness stand.

Hall’s Plea in Defense

“Why should I—one man—be held responsible for the vice that has been existing in the Fifth Ward for years?” Hall fairly shouted after he had taken the witness stand in his own defense.

“Doesn’t the captain of the district know that such conditions have existed in the ward and that there are disorderly houses there?” he continued. “What has been the matter with the men who have patrolled the beat near Second and Pine streets for years?”

He added dramatically as he faced the committeemen and the spectators: “If I had interfered I would have been before the police committee before this.”

Hall’s sarcastic remarks roused the ire of the city solicitors and the Councilmen and before he left the stand he refuted many of the allegations he made. He appeared “lost” many times when called upon to answer questions relative to remarks he uttered.

Acquitted of Robbery

Hall appeared before the committee for the express purpose of clearing himself of a charge of having been connected with the robbery of $250 from a soldier in a house that was conducted by Minnie Draper, underworld character, at 229 Pine street.

He also denied having aided the Draper woman to flee from Camden to Palmyra when she had been informed the “cops” were on her trail.

Hall was acquitted of the “robbery” charge. Solicitor Bleakly and Mr. West, his assistant, declared the evidence insufficient against Hall in the specification of the charges against the policeman.

The specifications against Hall read:

“That on or about January 2, 1921, at the premises at 229 Pine street, kept as a disorderly house by Jessie Smith, a soldier named Ernest Brown, was robbed of $250 with the connivance, aid and assistance of Ira Hall, in the presence of Minnie Draper, and that the said Minnie Draper was warned by Hall, then a police officer of the City of Camden, to get out of the house, ‘the cops are coming.’

“That when Officer Fisher went after Minnie Draper, on the charge of robbery, the woman told the officer to go and get a warrant, and, while he was in the process of getting a warrant, Police Officer Hall with one ‘Baby’ Paradise, now under charge of selling dope illegally, came and took Minnie Draper from Camden to Palmyra and concealed her there, well knowing that a warrant was out for her arrest.”

West Conducts Investigation.

Men frowned in disgust and women in the courtroom lowered their heads when shocking accusations against the policeman, a married man, were made. Hall seemed to glory in the condemnations of the attorneys and councilmen and even went as far as to declare “very few men can say their lives are clean.”

In one particular instance, Solicitor West, who conducted the greater part of the examination of witnesses, showed Hall several “familiar” letters the defendant wrote “Miss Alice E. [?]iske, of Atlantic City,” a white woman, according to Mr. West. Hall did not hesitate to admit he wrote the letters and that the woman named was a “friend” of his.

He denied, however, that he frequented disorderly houses near his “beat” and that he joined in “Dope” parties and other revelries of denizens of the underworld. He did admit that he was a “very intimate” friend of Jessie Smith, 229 Pine street, an underworld character who was brought from the county jail to appear as a witness at the hearing.

Hall said he only visited the alleged disorderly houses when he had a warrant to serve and when he was called to the place to quell any disturbance.

Smith Girl on Stand.

Hall admitted a charge that he had recommended Jessie Smith to an installment merchant when she made purchases to furnish a home. He vigorously denied he knew the furniture was to be used in partly equipping an alleged disorderly house said to have been operated by the Smith woman.

Upon examination, he declared he had often recommended persons to the same dealer but would never recommend anyone who was buying the furniture for disorderly house purposes.

When the Smith girl, colored, was called to the stand she testified the house she conducted at 229 Pine street was equipped with furniture purchased by her on the installment plan. She declared, upon examination, that Hall “signed” for her when she made the purchases, for which she paid $1[?] down.

The witness testified that she and Hall had been on “very intimate terms” and for a time had been known as “man and wife.” She declared she was under the impression her “friend” was a single man. She said the officer visited her frequently up until the past summer and on one or two occasions remained at her home during the night.

Hall There Night of Robbery

Solicitor West asked her if she had [?]ailed the robbery of $250 from a soldier last year in the house conducted by Minnie Draper, a colored girl 17 years old. She answered she [?] and said she recalled a soldier telling her he had been robbed of $250 the night of the alleged occurrence.

“Was Mr. Hall there on the night of the robbery?”

“Yes.”

In reply to questions from Mr. West, the witness declared Hall had been in the house “before and after” the alleged robbery.

“Was Mr. Hall in uniform?”

“No,” the witness replied.

Warned Her of Raid

[?] told [?] to put the soldier [?] that I should beat it” as the place was about to be raided.

“When the officers came there later he told them to put the ‘slightly’ intoxicated soldier out of the house.

“Did Mr. Hall say anything to Minnie Draper?”

“Yes, he told her to beat it, too.”

“Did Policeman Fisher come to the house the morning the robbery occurred?”

“Yes.”

“Did he have a warrant?”

The witness replied in the negative.

“Did Mr. Hall ever stay all night at 229 Pine street while you were there?”

“No.”

“Part of the night?”

“No.”

Went to Newark Once

The witness explained later that Hall had been at her home, 666 South Second street, all night on one occasion when she lived at that address.

“After one of the times you were released from the county jail, did you leave Camden?”

“Yes, I went to Newark.”

“Did you receive any communications from Mr. Hall while you were in Newark?” Solicitor West asked.

“Yes, several.”

She said, in answer to further questions, that Hall had informed her in the letters the matter involving the $250 was “all right and you don’t have to come back.”

He said also in the letter, continued the witness, he had “it fixed for Minnie Draper, too.” The witness said she still has letters she received from Hall, but she had not brought them to the hearing.

Hal [sic] was then granted permission to ask the witness questions.

“On the night of the alleged robbery,” he asked the witness, “did I come into your house?”

Denies Hall’s Questioning

“You did,” answered the woman in a positive tone.

“Didn’t I tell you that if you didn’t take that soldier out of the place that I would get the military police to take him out?” Hall asked.

“No, you didn’t.”

“Wasn’t I in my uniform the night of the alleged robbery?”

“No, you were in your citizen’s clothes that night.”

“That’s all,” Hall said to the witness.

It happened to be “all” as far as the witness was concerned because she was then excused from the stand by Mr. West.

Minnie Draper, the girl referred to in the charges against Hall, was brought from an outer room and asked to take the stand. She testified the robbery of the soldier was a little “before Easter” last year, and that Hall was there the evening it occurred.

Said “Cops” Surrounded House

“Hall told me to get out that night after the soldier had been robbed,” Minnie testified. “After the robbery occurred he told me ‘cops’ were surrounding the house and I should get out as fast as I could.”

She testified, upon being further examined by Mr. West, that Hall met her about two o’clock the night of the robbery and “went as far as Twenty-sixth street in a machine driven by Babe Paradise,” now under heavy bail on a charge of being a drug peddler. She said Hall alighted from the automobile at Twenty-sixth street and Paradise took her the rest of the way to Palmyra, where she remained, she said, from April until July.

She testified that on one occasion Hall visited a house where she was staying while she and other women were “enjoying a coke party.” She said that on another occasion she saw Hall and Jessie Smith in a room together acting in a “very familiar manner.”

Admits She Got Stolen Cash

She also testified that Detective Murry was given $50 to “squash” the robbery case, which, it has been alleged, involved Hall, herself and the Smith woman.

“Did you get any of the $250 stolen from the soldier?” Mr. West asked the witness.

“Yes. I know I got my part,” she answered. “The remainder went to Jessie Smith, but I suppose Mr. Hall got his share.”

“Was Mr. Hall in uniform when he gave you the caution to get out of the house the night of the robbery?”

“No,” the woman answered.

More Witnesses in Kellmann Murder

Police Find Two Other Men Who Met Slayers at the Bridge.

ONE CONVERSED WITH DUFFIELD

Two more important witnesses in the Karl Kellmann murder case, according to Chief of Police Gravenor, were located yesterday by Detectives Painter and Moffett and Policeman Abbott.

Berthold Neuman, of 2813 High street, it is stated, crossed the bridge at Twenty-seventh street, a short time before the murder and saw two men acting suspiciously. He had not gone far before he heard what later proved to be pistol shots, but at the time he thought the noise was caused by the explosion of signal torpedoes on the tracks.

Great stress is laid on the importance of the statements of Stewart Dahm, a railroad man, of 2303 Mickle street. According to Chief Gravenor Dahm, while crossing the lots near Twenty-sixth street and the railroad heard some one say “Let’s get the — — —“ and an instant later he was confronted by William Duffield, one of the three men held for murder.

It is claimed that at that time, Coursey, alias “Cowboy Pete,” with his pistol plainly visible, and Staley were but a short distance away. Acording [sic] to the written police report Dahm said he answered Duffield by saying “Oh, you’re drunk again,” and Duffield and the others immediately left in the direction of the bridge.

Two Firemen Injured in East Camden While Fighting Grocery Blaze - Camden Courier-Post, October 13, 1936

Two firemen were injured last night while combating a slight fire in a grocery store basement at 2401 River avenue.

Harry Leigh, 44, of 28 North Twenty-sixth street, suffered cuts over the right eye while descending stairs in a smoke-filled cellar to combat a fire in a defective oil burner, he said.

Albert Dukes, 44, of 3803 Westfield avenue, received cuts of the hand and a sprained ankle when he fell 12 feet from the roof. Both are hosemen attached to Engine Company No. 9 and were treated at West Jersey Hospital.

Leigh said one of the steps was broken and he did not see it on account of the smoke. Dukes was examining a chimney on the roof when he made a misstep and fell to the sidewalk.

The store is operated by Mrs. Elizabeth Savitz.

In the year 1889 Elwood Antrim started a modest hardware business in the building shown above. Like the growth of St. Joseph’s Parish, our development, too, has found special favor with God. From the “little store” beginning made by Elwood Antrim, the enterprise has continued and grown under the management of his family, until today Antrim’s is the largest Mill Supply House in South Jersey, supplying shipyards in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Texas, Delaware, and many other places with materials essential to the war effort.

parish. The parish plant was still incomplete, so in March of 1930 plans for a new rectory were approved and the contract for its construction awarded. The auditorium was enlarged to accommodate the increasing congregation, the old church being now quite inadequate. In July of 1930 Father McCorristin purchased the house of Mrs. Anne Bendinger at 29th and Carman Streets, and the lots adjoining. On these lots in the following year a twin brick dwelling was erected, both buildings being required as a convent for the Sisters.

In September, 1930, Father McCorristin received an assistant in the person of the Rev. Raymond J. Kavanaugh, who remained until March, 1931. Father William Brennan succeeded him, and he was joined by another assistant in July of the same year. Father Brecker was stationed in Saint Joseph’s parish from July, 1931, to April, 1938. The Reverend James S. Foley came to the parish to fill the place vacated by Father Brennan in June, 1932, and he remained for more than three years. The Reverend Joseph J. Donnelly replaced him for a few months, followed by the Reverend James C. Foley, who was stationed in Saint Joseph’s from June, 1936, to April, 1938.

Father McCorristin was pastor of Saint Joseph’s until March, 1937. The Reverend Edward A. McKenna took charge of the

Finkeldey Always for City Interest - Camden Post-Telegram, Fall 1915

[?]LDEY [?] WAS [?] FOR CITY INTEREST

Popular Twelfth Ward Councilman is in the Race For Renomination

CAUSE OF CITY DEMANDS HIS RETURN

Among those who will come before the citizens of this city for their endorsement on Tuesday next for his conduct during his term as a member of City Council is Frederick A. Finkeldey in the Eleventh ward.

That he has always been in the forefront of all matters for the betterment of conditions not only in his own ward, but where the interest of the entire city and county is concerned is known to everyone who has a grain of civic pride.

Finkeldey is a veteran in the service for the betterment of the conditions that present themselves from time to time. He has a strong voice [sic] and is never afraid to make use of his lung power.

Every matter proposed in committees of which he may be a member or sprung on the floor of City Council is thoroughly thrashed out by him in his masterful manner of handling subjects before it receives his mark of approval.

Many innocent appearing propositions were relegated to the oblivion after the probe of inquiry had been deeply inserted into its vital parts and was soon forgotten.

The city needs the services of a man of the stripe of Councilman Finkeldey in its City Council to look out for things that are bound to appear from time to time and are so innocent appearing that but few have the instinctive intuition to grasp the importance until it is too late.

It seems absurd to even mention a few things that he has been instrumental in bringing about, because there are so many if the citizens will stop and do a little thinking.

It would not, however, go amiss to just refer to some things that concerns the welfare of the citizens of the Eleventh ward.

For instance for a long time, years in fact, the Pennsylvania Railroad has agreed to have the unsightly wooden bridge under which its tracks pass, by a steel structure on a stone foundation.

In reference to better fire protection on the East Side, he has succeeded in providing for a new fire house, which is to be located at Twenty-sixth street and Hays avenue, which will be fitted out with all of the latest improvements, including an automobile chemical apparatus. Bids for the erection of the building were opened on last Thursday night.

Everyone knows the part he has taken to given the children recreation breathing spaces during the summer months as president of the Playground Commission. In this he secured the Reservoir Park ground for the Eleventh warders, and the children and parents cannot help but feel gratified.

He devotes not only his spare time during the entire year in the advancement of the playgrounds but devotes his entire vacation of about [?]e weeks in the interest of the youngsters along these lines. Residents of the Eleventh ward can show their appreciation for a person not afraid to do a [?] duty in an honest and fearless manner than by
