thanks Arthur......I love seeing my Dad (AT) in the pictures!   

SJBill has left a new comment on your post "Vine Family":

Thank you for this posting.
Our family lived on the 800 block of South Clinton, and Dr. Vine was my first dentist, probably around 1950. The building must have been brand new at the time and it still looks wonderful after all these years on the corner of Anderson and South Clinton.

I didn't have much dentistry performed, being so young, but my parents certainly did.

Dr. Vine was a good man, and knew him for most of the next decade. The office was spotless and modern - one of the first professional dentist's offices - rather than a downstairs room or two in a large Hamilton Ave. residence. His practice may have been one of the the first to use compressed air driven drills rather than old motor and belt driven.

Honored to have known him

I love reading your Newsletter.  Thanks for the effort you put into it.

 

After being a Trentonian all my life, I'm moving out to the San Francisco area the beginning of June.  Two of my four kids are there.  One is in Hawaii and one is in Washington State.  They'll be closer and I'll be able to watch my four grandchildren grow up.

 

It's hard to leave "home", but exciting as well.

 

Thank goodness for the computer.  Keep those Newsletters coming.

Downtown Trenton, 1929

Downtown Trenton Harry Podmore 1929 Although there were a disproportionate number of professionals (Physicians, Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Dentists), most reverted to the family business of selling merchandise. However, they did it on a much larger scale. Trenton was known for its ‘downtown.’ Between Willow and City Hall, there were 100’s of stores, both small and large. The interesting fact is that most of them were owned by the sons and daughters of ‘Jewtown.’ During the era of the 1920’s, Jews had difficulty getting onto college, if for no other reason that they were Jewish. If they were ‘lucky’ enough to attend college from 1929 on, they returned home to support a Depression-starved family. Downtown Trenton had been a busy commercial district after the Greene St. (Broad St.) overpass forded the Assinpink Creek. In addition, it originally housed the most prominent families of Trenton, such as the Roebling’s, the Kuser's, etc. The retail trade in Trenton saw its h

Avraham and Rivkah Swern

  In front of the headstone for Avraham and Rivkah Swern is a stone that is tilted backwards.  It marks the final resting place of Morris Freedman, who passed away on October 29, 1919. He is listed in the 1900 Trenton City Directory.   He was apparently in business with the Vine family with the shirt manufacturer Vine and Freedman.    There is a genealogy website that cites Freedman's business dealings here. Chapter 2-3: Simon (The Third Child of Benjamin & Bessie Wein) Simon (b. 1859; Lida, Vilna) was the third child of Benajmin and Bessie Wein. He married Libby (Leba or Bessie) Abramsohn (b. 1862) in Lida in 1883-1884. Simon and Libby had eight children: Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A., Benjamin, Rachel and Norman. Simon immigrated via Hamburg on April 28, 1896 at the age of 37 on the SS California and arrived NY on May 15, 1896. Libby arrived in either 1898 or 1899. The oldest six children (Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A. a
