Thirty-Fifth Street
THIRTY-FIFTH STREET runs from the Delaware River south to River Avenue. The street picks up again east of the Pavonia railroad switching yard to Fairfax Street. Once on the other side of Westfield Avenue, 35th Street runs for one block between Merriel and Rosedale Avenues. Interrupted again by what was up until recently railroad tracks, 35th Street starts once again on from the southern side of Rosedale Avenue to Federal Street, then on for three blocks to Highland Avenue at the Pennsauken border. As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 35th Street above Federal, and South 35th below.

MATE SUES BEAUTICIAN, CHARGES HOME NEGLECT
His wife spent her time arranging stylish coiffures for her neighbors while the household fell into a state of neglect declared Herbert G. Meeks, of 1017 North Thirty-fifth Street, before Advisory Master William B. Knight in Chancery Court today.
Mrs. Catherine Meeks, whose present address is Devereaux and Cottage streets, Philadelphia, finally opened a beauty shop of her own, informed her husband that their marriage was “washed up” and went her way, he said.
Meeks declared he tried to effect a reconciliation numerous times but to no avail. The couple was married in 1926 and separated in 1935. The man also testified that his wife went to dances three nights a week and sometimes didn’t return home until the next day. Knight recommended a divorce decree.

I grew up on North 35th Street and attended Henry H. Davis Elementary School and Woodrow Wilson High School. My girlfriend lived on Merriel Avenue and we walked through the park on our way to Wilson every morning and afternoon. I loved the Dudley Grange library and was saddened to learn of the fire. It was such a quiet haven for young and old. I remember the beautiful stone exterior, the creaky stairs to the 2nd floor children’s room, and the almost reverent quiet of the main floor reading room. The librarian sat perched high on a pedestal type desk and wore coke bottle thick glasses on a chain— but had a heart of gold. I became a librarian and lament the lovely sense of serenity and peace that you don’t see in libraries too much.

The home was owned by my Grandfather James David Willmott and Annie. James passed away the year before I was born in 1957. Grandmom lived in the home until the early 70’s can’t remember exactly. She died at home and my Father and 2 sisters were there at the time. I spent a lot of time in that house before my school days since my Mom and Dad worked and Grandmom watched me during the daytime. I recall every nook and cranny of that house and often dream of it.

Albert Robert Reed & family — 18 North 35th Street — 1880s
An early undated, most likely during the 1880’s, photo of the Albert Robert Reed home and residents at 18 N. 35th St., Camden, NJ. Also attached is a picture Albert Robert Reed who owned and operated a dairy at the location with his wife Sallie.
The picture of the house is dated based on information from Edith Reed McIlvaine, the deceased granddaughter of Albert (GGF of my wife Betty (WWHS’60) and daughter of Edith). The people in the picture are all believed to be Albert Reed’s family.
The stern woman on the left is Hannah Acker Reed, mother of Albert. The younger and maybe pregnant(?) woman on the right is Sallie Beamish Reed, wife of Albert. The youngsters (sons of Albert and Sallie) outside are most likely Beldon Willard Reed with bike, Albert Centennial Reed, left, behind fence, with Frank Albert (Edith’s father) sitting on the step behind the fence. Albert’s fourth son, Wm Few, is most likely in the “hanger” so to speak at the time of this picture. A fifth and last son, Clarence was no doubt, in the “planning stages.

Flames Rake Warehouse in East Camden
A two-alarm fire raged out of control in an East Camden warehouse for an hour Thursday night.
The warehouse, at 14 S. 35th st., an L-shaped annex to the Cartun Hardware Store, 36th and Federal sts., was formerly a feed store and is now used to store paints, plumbing supplies and other merchandise.
Irving Cartun of 2601 Parkway, Philadelphia, proprietor, reported that the warehouse inventory was valued at an estimated $15,000. Cartun said he had not yet determined the extent of his loss.
According to Cartun, there were 10,000 to 12,000 gallons of paint stored in one-gallon cans in the warehouse.
Fireman Injured
Joseph H. Arensberg, 25, of 1041 N. 32nd st., a hoseman with Engine Company 11, was injured slightly when a door in the flaming warehouse fell on his leg. He was treated at Cooper Hospital.
Robert D. Halsey, 23, of 41 N. 36th st., a clerk in the store, and Capt. Otto Kaiser of Engine Company 11 assisted Arensberg from the scene.
The fire was discovered because of an experiment linking traditional Christmas caroling with electronic gadgetry.
James E. Wright of 17 S. 35th st., his son James Jr., 14, Mrs. Coleman Rosenberg of 16 S. 35th st., and her daughter, Merle, 12, were standing outside their homes listening to recorded Christmas carols through an outdoor amplifier system…

My father Jim Wright Sr. and my mother Rita Wright, nee Genovese moved into the home in 1949 and remained there until about 1975. Dad and Mom raised 4 boys, Jim, Dennis, Joe and Michael and my sister Rita. I worked at Cartun Hardware and was the guy who pulled the fire alarm back in December of 1961 when Irv Cartun’s warehouse caught fire. I have great memories of Camden when I grew up in the 50’s. The Wright family all attended St. Joe’s and Camden Catholic. The Genovese family all attended Camden Catholic as well.
