Division Street

Camden Street
Page Contents

Introduction

Division Street must have been named because it divided something, but what exactly is not certain. Line Street, which lies 2 blocks to the north, was named because it followed the finally settled line of division between the Cooper and Kaighn properties. Division Street may never have actually divided anything!

Horses Saved by Cruelty Agents

Mired at the slime and filth of Line Ditch, at Fourth street, Saturday afternoon, two valuable horses belonging to Charles I. Adkins, a teamster, of 432 Division street, were saved from death by Supervising Agent Walter S. Le Tourneau and Special Agent Ware, of the S. P. C. A.

The horses, one a gray and the other a bay, were attached to a chute wagon loaded with tile, going to a building at Fourth street and Atlantic avenue. When the driver backed the team to raise the load the give of the earth gave way and horses went into the slimy morass. The more the animals struggled the deeper they sank and when Le Tourneau and Ware arrived only their backs and heads were showing. As the animals struggled to get air, two 2-inch breaker planks were placed under their heads to prevent them from strangling in the mire. The S. P. C. A. ambulance came with ropes and extra men arrived a few minutes later and Le Tourneau and Ware waded into the slimy mud and, placing tackle around the bodies of the horses soon had them on solid ground.

For fear that they were injured the animals were loaded into the ambulance and driven to Homeopathic Hospital, Fifth and Walnut streets, where they were washed and examined and pronounced sound.

Woman Shouts Murder and Police Raid House

Camden Courier-Post —

Charged with allowing disorderly persons to congregate in her home, Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes, 519 Newton Avenue, was fined $25 by Police Judge Lewis Liberman yesterday.

She was arrested at 3:00 AM after a call was sent to police headquarters by neighbors, that a woman had screamed “murder” in the house. Arrested with her were Mary Williams, 38, also of the Newton Avenue address; Charles Weatherby, 28, of 548 Division Street and Edward Werner, 26, of 707 New Street. They were charged with being inmates.

Sergeant John Deith and Policeman Earl Wright said they found whiskey on a table after they went to the house in response to the complaint. Wright testified he had to climb the rainspout to get in.

Mrs. Holmes denied the charge but was found guilty. The other woman and the two men were fined $10 each.

My Aunt Anna Jelonek Crassovaz and her husband Joseph Crassovaz lived at 560 Division Street. This home has been kept up very nicely. Aunt Anna Jelonek Crassovaz died about 1959 and so did my Father in 1959. My Uncle Joe Crassovaz married my Mother. We had been living in Woodlyne NJ since 1956, then move to Barrington in 1961.

Uncle Joe sold the house on Division Street to his sister Marie. I think she stayed their until she died.

At 8 P.M. on January 15th, Box 374 at Sixth and Spruce Streets was transmitted for a phone alarm reporting a dwelling at 838 Division Street, South Camden. Arriving fire fighters found nothing and following a search of the neighborhood, declared the incident a false alarm. Some thirteen minutes later, 374 Box was again transmitted, now reporting the address of 638 Division Street, more than two blocks from the previous location. This time, units found a three-story frame heavily involved with fire extending to adjoining properties. The wrong address had caused the blaze to gain considerable headway. A second alarm assignment was required.

Wanted to End Life

Camden Man Shot Himself in Presence of Wife and Daughter

Result of Domestic Row

Wounded Man Asked for a Gun to Finish His Suicidal Work

Lewis H. Clements, aged 46 years, of 773 Division street, Camden, is in Cooper Hospital with a self-inflicted pistol shot wound in his side. He was operated on last night, but the bullet was not found, and the chances are against the wounded man recovering.

Clements, with his wife and daughter, had sat down to supper last night when a dispute arose between husband and wife over his enforced idleness. He claimed that it was sickness alone which had him from being employed.

While Dr. Fishlan was dressing the wound at the hospital Clements said he had no desire to live. He asked the doctor to get him a gun. His son, William H. Clements, went to the home of Dr. William S. Jones on Ferry avenue for assistance. Click for complete article.

A Quiet New Year's Day, With Little Worth Chronicling.

New Year's was an exceedingly quiet day in the city across the river. All of the public buildings and banks were closed. The various ferry companies did a rushing business, owing to the number of people who crossed the river to see the Quaker City New Year shooters. A number of clubs had open house, but there were no other special features or observances.

The choir boys of the St. John P. E. Church early yesterday morning serenaded the attendants at the Cooper Hospital and sang some excellent selections.

Excise Inspector Samuel Wilson has had his salary of $1,000 stopped by City Comptroller Derouse. This is done in accordance with a recent decision of the Supreme Court.

Thomas Guthridge, aged 24 years, while celebrating the incoming of the New Year accidentally shot himself in the hand. He was admitted to the Cooper Hospital.

George Jones, of 824 Division street, fell on the ice yesterday and badly lacerated his hand.

Camden GI Reports Troop Morale In Korea Is Now at Highest Point

Cpl. Lee H. McGruder Feted by Family on 30-Day Furlough

A Camden soldier arrived home today after 10 months of fighting in Korea, said the morale among the Allied fighting troops there is higher now than at any time since the Korean conflict started.

“It was great to be home,” were the first words uttered by Cpl. Lee H. McGruder, 22, when he arrived at his home, 910 Division street.

For seven years his sister, Mrs. Florence Oliver, and other members of the family have been circulating petitions to the Army and blue crossed paper in preparation for the homecoming. A large picture of Lee hangs on the front door.

“Over there at the present time, the troops have enough food and other equipment. The morale of the troops is the highest and the last time the Reds are on the march, and I believe we’ll have peace before the end of the year.”

He’s an Eight-Pound Beauty

Old Dr. Stork in visiting South Camden on May 20 tarried awhile at 1024 Division street, and left in the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hendrickson a fine eight-pound baby boy.

And it is a most pleasing statement to add that the mother and her newborn are doing finely, with years of happiness to come, it is to be hoped, as the attending physician, Dr. Lettie Allen Ward, vouchsafes for with cheerful confidence.
