Introduction
Hale Street ran north to south between Central Avenue and Ferry Avenue, west of the railroad tracks that still exist today. It first appears in Camden City Directories in 1895. Four homes stood on Hale Street. They were originally numbered 1701, 1703, 1705, and 1707. At some point between 1913 and 1920 they were renumbered 1800, 1802, 1804, and 1806. These homes were still standing in 1962, and at least two, 1802 and 1806, were still occupied in 1969. In the 1970s these homes were taken, and, with all of Hale Street, erased to make way for the I-676 North-South Freeway.

Mother and Babes Alone
Philadelphia Inquirer —
Camden Widow and Triplets Are Left Destitute
Camden's poor authorities are inquiring into what is said to be a more than ordinarily sad case of destitution in which a bride of less than a year is practically destitute with three infant children.
About a month ago Stanley Macks, of 1701 Hale street, was taken to the Cooper Hospital, where he died after an operation. He was married to a young woman who came from Poland about a year ago. Shortly after the man's death Mrs. Macks gave birth to three baby girls, all of whom are living.
Triplets' Mother Happy
Philadelphia Inquirer —
Five Hundred Dollars Placed in Hands of Poor Camden Widow
One of the happiest women in Camden yesterday was Mrs. Katie Macks, a widow with one-year old triplets, of 1702 Hale street, Camden. Through the efforts of the members of the Alpha Club, an organization of young men of Camden, $500 was placed to her credit in a local bank. This represents a sum that was raised by the Alpha boys in behalf of Mrs. Mack and her little ones at the Mount Holly Fair.
Mrs. Macks was left in destitute circumstances at about the time of the birth of the triplets, her husband dying in the Cooper Hospital. Since then she has been looked after by public-spirited citizens and especially the Alpha boys. Those who assisted the woman in getting the fund were headed by William Story, a well known young business man. Now the club will devise means of looking after her for an indefinite period.
