Introduction

27th Street runs from the Delaware River, across River Road, Westfield Avenue, and Federal Street. In our time 27th Street is one of the main thoroughfares in Cramer Hill and East Camden, but in earlier times it was not only not called 27th Street, it ran parallel to the street which was referred to as Main Street.

27th Street lies in what prior to 1899 was Stockton Township. Originally called Fulton Street, it ran from the south end of what was then Cramer Park — the north end of which was 29th Street, then the terminus of the Cramer Hill Ferry. Fulton Street, our North 27th Street, runs across River Road past Engine Company 11 of the Camden Fire Department, the Pavonia Reservoir (present-day Veteran's Park) to a point where it intersected with Main Street, which we know today as North 26th Street. North 27th Street continues, passing the Pavonia Railroad Station on the left, and the Camden County Jail on the right at Howell Street, on the spot which has been Paul's Auto Glass since the late 1970s. 27th Street then continues across Westfield Avenue and Federal Street, where the East Camden Firehouse, the home of Engine Company 9 and Hook & Ladder Company 3, was built shortly after Stockton Township became a part of Camden. Once across Federal Street, the road is now South 27th Street, and runs straight through to Marlton Avenue and the border between Camden and Pennsauken Township.

Construction along 27th occurred over a period of approximately 70 years, from about 1875 through about 1945, give or take a few either way. As shown by the map below, dated 1914, the streets south of Federal Street had not all received their present names; as a matter of fact, very few buildings had been erected on South 27th Street. Other twentieth century changes included the demolition of the Pavonia Rail Station and the completion of the “hump” over the railroad tracks, and the completion of Veteran's Park several years after the Reservoir walls failed, the resulting flood causing much property damage.

Row homes had been constructed to a point just short of Marlton Avenue by the early 1940s. The construction of the Line Street Apartments at South 27th, Line Street, and Marlton Avenue completed development on 27th Street in the 20th Century.

Probably the most notable person ever to live on 27th Street was football player Mike Rozier, a star running back at Woodrow Wilson High School, in college, and in the professional ranks with the Houston Oilers in the National Football League.

Frank Worthington Dies

Camden Post-Telegram — May 23, 1919

308 North 27th Street, August 2011 — The many friends of Frank Worthington, the bright little son of Mrs. Mary Worthington and the late Charles Worthington, who was chief of the Fire Department, will learn with deep regret of his death yesterday at the age of 12 years. Little Frank, who was beloved by all who knew him for his bright and cheerful disposition, was stricken with spinal meningitis seventeen weeks ago.

The funeral took place this afternoon at 3 o’clock from the home of Mr. and Mrs. William V. Walls, 1314 Camac street, Philadelphia, interment being made at Arlington Cemetery, in charge of Undertaker John Crawford.

Little Frank was an attendant at Bethany M. E. Church and Sunday-school, and was proud of a number of silver pins awarded for continuous attendance at Sunday-school, and since residing in Philadelphia has kept up this attendance to the time of his illness. He was confined during the early days of his sickness.

He is a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Cullingford, of 308 North Twenty-seventh street, and profound sympathy is expressed to the bereaved mother and family.

Maryland-born James Robert Sudler had come to Camden by 1920 when he was living at 2637 Westfield Avenue. During the 1920s he established a funeral home at 60 South 27th Street. During the 1930s James Sudler took on an apprentice, a boy who had grown up nearby, Clarence Eichel. In 1936 Clarence Eichel became a partner, and eventually took over the business after Mr. Sudler passed. The Eichel Funeral Home later moved to Pennsauken, and still is in business as of 2004.

The Grim Shadow of Death Stalks Firemen’s Family

Camden Courier-Post — June 13, 1975

By Martin DiCarlo

FRANK IANNELLI came to this country in 1904 from the sleepy little mountain village of San Bartolomeo, Italy. He settled first in Boston with friends and went straight to work as a helper at construction sites. He was 13 years old. A few years later he moved to Camden, where he worked at a number of jobs before joining the Army to fight in World War I.

He came back to Camden after the war and in 1921 he had himself a very good year, the kind of year that marks a turning point in a man’s life.

First he landed a job as a hoseman with the Camden Fire Department, a job that would keep him working during the Depression. Then he met Rosina Carlone, who, as fate would have it, was also a native of San Bartolomeo. Rose, as she was called, had only recently come to America and was living in Newark. When word reached Frank through the grapevine that a young girl from his village was living only a few hours away, he made arrangements to meet her so that he might learn the latest news about his family and friends back in the old country. Hoping to make a good impression, he made it a point to call on Rose in his fireman’s uniform.

The visit went very well. So well, in fact, that six months later Frank Iannelli and Rosina Carlone were married. They moved into a rowhouse at 3rd and Berkley streets in Camden, and in short order two sons, Leonard and Carmen, were born. Years later, in 1937, a third son, Frankie, arrived.

Like most Italian-American families, the Iannellis were very close. Rose would often take the boys down to the firehouse to see their father. Then, on an April night in 1942, tragedy struck. After fighting a dump fire in the city, Frank Iannelli collapsed in the firehouse at 27th and Federal streets and died of a heart attack. It happened as he was climbing the firehouse stairs. He was 51 years old.

TRAGEDY spares no family. Sooner or later all of us will have to pick up a telephone in the middle of the night. The death of Frank Iannelli hit Rose and the boys hard, but the family closed ranks around Leonard, who followed in his father’s footsteps by joining the fire department in 1948. Five years later Carmen followed suit.

It was not until a bitterly cold night in January 1964, a night on which the temperature dropped to one degree above zero, that the Iannelli family began to think that fate had singled them out for more than their share of heartache.

On that night, Leonard, 41 years old and by then a captain in the department, toppled over in the ice and snow at a two-alarm fire in a men’s clothing store at Broadway and Chestnut Street. He died before he reached the hospital, of heart failure brought on by smoke inhalation.

THE IRONY of Leonard’s death left the family shattered and bewildered. The pain was keener because neither Leonard nor his father had a history of heart trouble. They had been strong vibrant men, full of life. In neither case was there a warning, a hint of danger. Their deaths were the hardest kind to accept—totally unexpected, as arbitrary, it seemed, as the death of someone struck by lightning.

If there was a consolation for the Iannellis, it was only the thought that certainly now no greater tragedy could befall them. The worst had happened; only better days could lie ahead.

Carmen was now the head of the family and the only Iannelli left in the Camden Fire Department since Frankie, unlike his father and brothers, had not been caught up by the mystique of the fireman’s life and had broken with tradition by going to work for RCA.

Carmen was a quiet, sensitive man who preferred to spend his idle hours around the firehouse working crossword puzzles and solving riddles rather than taking part in the practical jokes and locker room humor for which firemen are notorious. He was broad-shouldered and balding, with a homely but honest face, and as he approached 50 the resemblance to his father became almost uncanny.

To his wife, Jean, and the rest of the family, he did not appear to brood about what had happened to his father and brother, nor did he seem to worry about falling victim to a similar fate. But there were times at the firehouse at 27th and Federal, where he had been stationed since shortly after his marriage in 1960, when it was clearly very much on his mind.

One day, climbing the firehouse stairs with Vince Orme, who is now the city fire marshal, Carmen pointed to the second floor landing and said: “That’s where it happened. That’s where my father died. That’s where I’ll probably die too.”

He was wrong. He was not destined to die on the landing where his father died. He was destined to die about 50 feet away, out on the sidewalk, unravelling five-inch hose after a fire in the storage yard of a wastepaper warehouse on Pine Street.

He was destined to die last Thursday, not only at the same firehouse in which his father died, but at just about the same time of day—two o’clock in the morning—and at just about the same age—50.

THREE MEN, a father and two sons, all firemen, all killed on the job by heart attacks. The irony is almost too awful for the mind to fully grasp and comprehend. In the 100-year history of the Camden Fire Department, it has never happened before. It will probably never happen again.

With Carmen’s death, the grief of the surviving members of the Iannelli family can no longer be measured. It can only be sensed.

It can be heard in the nervous, high-pitched voice of Frankie Iannelli, who is now 38 and who stated very matter-of-factly the other day, sitting in a car outside the RCA buildings in Camden, that he does not expect to live much past 50 either.

And it can be seen in the eyes of the widows. Terribly sad eyes, like those of children who, having been punished unfairly, cringe in expectation of still more punishment. In the eyes of Jean Iannelli and Leonard’s widow, Olga, but most of all in the old careworn eyes of Rose Iannelli, who has lost the most, and who alone has seen the haunting tragedies of the Iannelli family unfold from their very beginnings, from the seeds sown long ago in the mountains of San Bartolomeo.
