Berkley Street

BERKLEY STREET was originally and was for many, many years spelled Berkeley Street. The street was named for Lord Berkeley, who, with Sir George Carteret owned the colony of New Jersey from 1664 to 1674. When originally laid out, Berkley Street east of Broadway was known as Hamilton Street, in honor of Hamilton Beckett of London, England, the son of Henry and Mary Beckett. The Becketts at one time owned the land from Royden to Line Street and from West to Second Street. In 1882, to avoid confusion, the name of Hamilton Street was dropped, and the street became Berkley Street for its entire length. Similar adjustments were made for Washington Street and Clinton Street.

In 1902 the Pennsylvania Railroad opened up a series of freight sheds on South Second Street at Berkley Street.

The 200 Block of Berkley Street was razed along with several other blocks west of South 3rd and south of Mickle Street around 1970 to make room for the Royal Court Townhomes and the Mickle Tower apartment building.

Memories from Berkley Street

…I have fond remembrances of wonderful neighbors on Berkley Street. Everyone would help keep streets tidy. Whoever would go out to sweep their own sidewalk, would also sweep neighbor’s on both sides. Berkley Street then was predominately inhabited by Italian, Polish and Irish families. Our family was the first black family in the 700 block. We got along fine and did not discover till years later that we were being eyeballed by the community to see what kind of folks we were…

Sally Star was a friend to our neighbor’s sister, and at the height of her popularity, would visit with her get up on, which we thought was a big deal.

463 Berkley Street — Camden Courier-Post, April 4, 1928 — Thief Cuts Out Window, Takes Watches, Jewels
A thief armed with a glass cutter cut out a section of a plate glass window in the second-hand store owned by John Danser, 463 Berkley street, last night and stole several watches and other trinkets valued at $50. Danser discovered the robbery when he opened the store this morning.
The articles were on display in the window. The thief cut out a small section of the glass and then reached in and took out the watches. The burglar left no trace of his identity.

My husband’s great-great grandparents William H. & Sarah Collins lived at 452 Berkley Street in Camden for many years.

They first appear at this address in the 1884 Camden City Directory. William H. died in 1891, but his widow, Sarah, continued to live there until 1924–1926. I still don’t have an exact date of death for her. Her name last appears in the 1924 Camden City Directory as living there.

A dozen kids from Berkley Street. Hanging out on our front step, if not there the abandoned house at 702, we called it the Ghost House and let imagination run wild. Back in the day windows were not boarded, house was full of furniture knickknacks dishes could be seen in the china closet, nice carpet. We never knew where the occupants were or why it was left that way, only that supposedly two sisters lived there and they got sick? House stayed in described condition for 15 years I can swear to, probably much longer. Played stick ball in the street. Step ball cross way in the street, old fogey at 705 would chase us, me and Jerry put nails under some guys Ford tires, he knew we did it but had no proof, said he got 4 flats. Home Run on that job.

Neighborhood kids were into mischief but really weren’t bad, used to collect bottles for the deposit would take then to 7th and Royden Street. The little butcher shop and market, ate candy until we were sick. Played football on the island that ran down middle of 7th Street, burned Christmas trees there too, boy we could get those flames up to the electric wires running across island, don’t think we ever damaged them! Played many hours in the cannon park or the monument park around 7th and Haddon Avenue near the old section of Cooper Hospital. Monument Park had concrete walks all around cutting in to center of park from each corner and around the fenced circle contain the monument, which I can’t recall what it was but I probably rode my bike all thru that park a thousand times or more. All kinds of Corner stores and taverns, hung out at McKenna’s corner with 2 or 3 sons, kid we called German George lived across the street never did know if he was German?

Back alleys. I was king of the back alley, the other kids were good but I was the best. I could travel from school on Spruce Street to home, to hide in all the parks, the hospital the church and much more thru the back allies without ever going down the street only had to cross streets at certain places. Thru snowballs at cars and the drivers would try to get us, but could never catch us. Some hot rodders lived down the street and we loved them to stop at our corner were you had to turn left and squeal the tires as they pulled around the corner. I could go on and on here and I only covered year I was 11 to 13 years old. I was in the younger group of kids, it would be nice to have my sister come on here as I sure she has many beloved memories of Berkley Street in Camden, New Jersey.

Berkley was the typical 50’s 60’s street you may see in any era movie.

I have fond memories of my sister and I spending weekends with my grandmother, Sarah Tubis and my aunt Louise Tubis at 708 Berkley Street, where they spoiled me rotten and took us for walks to the park with the cannons, or to the local butcher (Abe something or other), etc… this was mid 1950s to mid 1960s.

Dead Man's Relatives Found by News Story

Sought since his death in Los Angeles last week, Camden relatives of Harry Piper, Jr., were located yesterday by police.

Piper’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Piper, Sr., live at 713 Berkley street. The father, reading of his son’s death, appeared at police headquarters for additional information. He said his son had lived in California the last seven years.

In a long distance telephone conversation with Los Angeles police, the elder Piper learned his son had left $1000 in insurance to a Mrs. Hanley there and that she was arranging for his burial.

Piper said he would agree to such arrangements and would wire his permission.

Jealousy Seen as Motive for Bombing Dairy

Camden Evening Courier — October 11, 1928

Police Seeking Mysterious Stranger in Terrific Downtown Blast

Milk Plant Damaged; Nearby Homes Rocked

Crudely Made Explosive Placed in Trench Beneath Steps

With the owners and the police attributing jealousy of business success as the only plausible motive for the bombing last night of the plant of the Sanitary Milk Dairies Company, at 311 Division Street, search was started today for a tall, heavyset man, with mixed blue suit, as the bomber.

City detectives mingled among the throngs of men, women and children who today viewed the damage caused by the bomb — a crude, home-made time device — which, in exploding, rocked the neighborhood, shattered window panes, doors, fences and the exteriors of nearby properties. Machinery in the Coccia plant was damaged by the concussion and by parts of bomb shrapnel, which pierced or bent it.

Mrs. Angelina Coccia, mother of the Coccia brothers, her daughter, Theresa Coccia, 14, and Mrs. Mary De Luzzio, 59, of 317 Division Street, were in the kitchen of the Coccia home when the bomb exploded. The dairy is at the rear of the home of Primo Coccia, one of the owners. His brothers — partners in the business — are Paul Coccia, 242 Pine Street; Adam Coccia, 346 Cherry Street, and Matthew Coccia, 941 South Third Street.

Saw Mysterious Stranger

Mrs. Coccia cannot speak English, but through her son, Matthew Coccia, it was learned today that, before the explosion, she had seen a man passing the kitchen window.

“The man walked down the alley at the side of the house,” Mrs. Coccia told her son in Italian. “He was a heavy-set man and tall; I thought he was a customer who had come for milk. People often come at night to buy milk, and I did not think it strange about the man.

“But then I waited for him to knock at the back door, as customers usually do,” she continued.

“When he did not knock, I wondered what he might be up to, and I was just ready to leave the kitchen to see where he went when I heard the explosion. I did not know what happened after that, I was so nervous, I didn’t even see the man leave the way he came. But he was the one who set the bomb. Of that I am sure.”

Dog Vainly Warns

The Coccias have a big Italian Bulldog chained to a gasoline tank at the rear of their home. The dog barked continually last night to warn the Coccias; they were so used to his barks, they said today, that they thought he had been growling at a customer, as he sometimes does late at night.

Mrs. Coccia said she was unable to give a detailed description of the man she saw last night because an electric bulb in the alleyway was not lit. It was the first time the alley was in darkness at night, Matthew Coccia said, and this the bomber apparently took into consideration in seeking to go about his diabolical tasks without possible detection.

Coccia said boys living in the neighborhood saw the man enter an automobile, with lights out, immediately after the explosion shook the neighborhood. The car, they said, had been parked near the Coccia home with its front and rear lights out.

Detective Fiore Troncone, who is investigating the bombing, informed Coccia today that he had received a description of the automobile from Coccia’s neighbors. They said they had seen the driver put on the lights at Fourth and Division Street as he turned the corner to go north in his escape.

Rev. John S. Hackett, pastor of the Wiley M.E. Church, Third and Berkley Streets, who was among those viewing the damage done by the bomb, said he saw the man acting nervously at Third and Pine Street last night, immediately after the explosion. His description of the man tallied with that given by Mrs. Coccia.

“I was waiting for the first edition of the Morning Post to arrive at the store at that corner,” Mr. Hackett said today, “when my attention was attracted to this man. He seemed to be very nervous about something. He was fairly tall and heavy-set and wore a mixed blue suit, with light coloring.

“When the papers arrived and I bought a copy, he seemed to be very anxious to see what was on the front page. I did not know about the bomb until I read the paper, but it occurred to me later that perhaps this man was acting suspiciously and was eager to see what damage had been caused. I’m sorry now I didn’t question him. But I can give police a good description of him.”

The Coccias said the only reason they could see for the bombing was jealousy of their business success by a person with a deranged mind.

“We had no enemies,” Matthew Coccia said, “and we never fought with anybody. I cannot understand it. It must have been jealousy at the way we were getting along.”

Coccia said no threatening letters had been received. He insisted that there was no reason why the “Blackhand” should desire to ruin Primo Coccia’s home or their business.

Neighbors Called Police and Firemen

Detectives found a firemen’s shovel near where the stone steps to the dairy had been. They believed it had been used to dig a trench under the steps in which to insert the bomb.

Primo Coccia, who had been to the theatre, came home five minutes after the explosion. He found a throng in front and dazedly pushed through until his mother hysterically screamed the news to him.

The bomb burst in the dairy door and sprayed big pieces of the iron pipe along the side of the house and into the room, where it caused most of the damage to the machinery.

Fifteen windows of the Coccia house were shattered and police believe the foundations at the rear may have been weakened.

The worst damage to neighboring buildings was to the rear of the Seven Brothers Bakery, owned by the Canzanese Brothers, 318–322 Pine Street, which backs against the dairy. Twenty windows of the bakery were crushed in, the door was riddled with small pieces of the pipe and the rear was peppered with the “shrapnel.”

Mario Manarefi, 912 South Fourth Street, a bookkeeper in the bakery, was at his home nearby. He ran to the street and looked several minutes for the bombers before he joined the crowd.

Joseph Scotthouse, 317 Division Street, ran to the yard at the rear of his home to find the fence had been peppered with tiny pieces of the pipe, some of which had torn into his kitchen through windows and doors.

Six windows of the home of Sabatino Di Paolo, 321 Division Street, were broken. Fragments of the pipe were found on the floor of rooms on the second floor of his house, he told police.

A police cordon was thrown around the neighborhood by Chief of Police Stehr, who took personal charge of the investigation.

Police from every district in the city were rushed to the scene and patrols were dispatched to be prepared for any eventuality.

The neighborhood was searched carefully and every resident was questioned, but no one was able to give any clue which might lead police to the bombers.

Squads of detectives and police patrolled the neighborhood for hours after the explosion, seeking objects which might have been dropped by the bombers.

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.
