Rosedale Avenue
Rosedale Avenue is in East Camden, running south and east from Westfield Avenue to its end on North 36th Street, parallel to what were for many years railroad tracks that began in the Pavonia rail switching yards and then proceeded through Camden to Merchantville, Maple Shade and other points in Burlington County. From 1938 though the late 1990s, some apartments in the Westfield Acres public housing project carried a Rosedale Avenue address. When Westfield Acres was demolished and rebuilt as Baldwin’s Run, a short section north of Westfield Avenue was designated Rosedale Avenue.
In the 19th and early 20th Centuries, the neighborhood in Camden where Rosedale Avenue runs, as well as that on the other side of the railroad tracks and across Federal Street, was known as Rosedale.

Where Police Seized Still, After Year’s Operation
Camden Courier-Post —
This double dwelling, at 3404 Rosedale avenue, was the scene of a still seizure early yesterday, after it had been operating one year, according to a neighbor. The occupant, Mrs. Mollie Schwartz, 46, was arrested and admitted she operated the plant, according to Acting Lieut. of Police John Potter. A man said to be a brother of the woman, fled in his undershirt, while Sergt. Edward Hahn, recently transferred to Third district duty from the traffic division, and Patrolman Joseph Keefe were making the arrest and seizure. Eleven barrels of mash, a stove, one cooler and three gallons of liquor were seized with the 75-gallon still in the house, police reported. One of two cars without license tags, which were parked in front of the house when raided, disappeared later.

Others Must Face Trial; More Arraigned and Bonds Fixed By Court — Campaign Against Writers Pushed With Feitz Probe — ALLEGED ‘BARON’ IS HELD IN BAIL — Mayor Pledges Aid of Camden Cops to State on Illicit Liquor
Arrests in the numbers racket in Camden continued today simultaneously with the continuation of the inquiry into the murder of City Detective William T. Feitz Jr.
With the Feitz slaying probe in its eleventh day—the detective was slain September 2 at 243 Sycamore Street, an alleged disorderly house—city and county authorities were still questioning witnesses in an endeavor to obtain sufficient evidence to name the murderer or murderers.
The arrest this morning of Crawford Smith, 51, of 702 Carman Street, as a numbers writer, brought the total of those apprehended this week in the numbers racket to 10.
At the same time Police Judge J. Harry Switzer held Fred Klosterman, 33, of 1050 Mechanic Street, in $5000 bail for the grand jury on a charge of operating a numbers game.
Klosterman’s brother, Joseph Klosterman, 35, of 1400 Mechanic Street, was released in $3000 bail yesterday by Judge Switzer on a charge of operating a numbers lottery.
The Klostermans, according to police, are among the topnotch numbers barons of the city. Both pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
No Testimony Taken
Fred Klosterman surrendered voluntarily yesterday afternoon when he learned that police were seeking him as an alleged numbers operator.
He was arraigned in police court today on complaint of George Zeitz, a city detective, who charged him with operating a numbers game. Police did not reveal where Fred Klosterman allegedly operated.
There was no testimony taken at the hearing of Fred Klosterman. His bail bond was signed by John Zubien. Police say they do not know Zubien’s address. Mrs. Anna Bubnoski, of 1426 Mount Ephraim Avenue, posted the $3000 bail for Joseph Klosterman. Zeitz also had made complaint against him.
Fred Klosterman surrendered yesterday, according to police, after a defendant in police court testified that he was employed at an alleged numbers bank operated by Fred Klosterman. Zeitz swore to a warrant for Fred Klosterman’s arrest based on the police information, he said.
Hearing Tomorrow
Smith, who was arrested by George Clayton, a policeman, will be given a hearing in police court tomorrow as an alleged numbers writer.
Meanwhile no disposition was made in the case of Mrs. Mollie Schwartz, 42, who was arrested yesterday on a charge of operating a still at a double dwelling at 3404 Rosedale Avenue. Police Lieutenant John Potter said the woman admitted operating the still.
A man said to be a brother of Mrs. Schwartz fled in his undershirt at the time of the raid, as Sergeant Edward Hahn and Policeman Joseph Keefe were making the arrest and seizure. The seizure included 13 barrels of alleged mash, a stove, one cooler, three gallons of liquor, and a 75 gallon still. Police reported that one of two cars without license tags which had been parked in front of the house disappeared later.
Cops to Aid State
Strict cooperation with the State Alcoholic Beverages Commission in the detection, closing up, and prosecution of speakeasies is being given by the Camden Police Department.
That statement was made today by Mayor Roy R. Stewart, who is the director of the department of public safety, and came as a result of an interview which Howard B. Dyer, an investigator with the state beverage commission had with the mayor. Dyer was formerly deputy city clerk.
“Dyer came in and asked for the cooperation of the police department,” said Mayor Stewart, “and I told him we would cooperate fully.”
The state alcoholic beverage commission, through its investigators, has been busy in running down speakeasies, stills and other illicit liquor practices.

The Origin of St. Joseph’s Parish—Continued
parish April 22, 1937, Father James McGrath acting as administrator in the interim before Father McKenna’s arrival.
April of 1938 saw the change of Father Brecker and Father Foley and the arrival of the Reverend Francis J. Hegarty and the Reverend John Wieckowski. Father Hegarty became Superintendent of diocesan parochial schools in 1942, and was succeeded on April 4, 1942 by the Reverend George E. Sharkey. Father John became an army chaplain in November, 1942. He was replaced for a few months by the Reverend Bernard Frank, O.M.C. The Reverend Eugene P. Kerley came to the parish in April, 1943.
In December, 1938, Father McKenna installed a bell in the school tower, and not long afterwards made improvements in the interior of the auditorium, striving to remove the theatrical atmosphere and make the building more church-like. Again in 1943 further improvements have been made by tearing out the stage and remodeling the sanctuary.
1943, The Golden Jubilee Year of the parish, will be remembered by the parishioners of Saint Joseph’s for a number of reasons. Father William Regan, a native of the parish, was advanced to the priesthood and sang his First Solemn High Mass here on April 11th. A Golden Jubilee Debt Reduction Fund was set up, and a total of about $20,000.00 was collected for
