[Trenton's Jews] New comment on Cemetery Questionnaire.



Arthur Frank


I visit twice a year to the cemetery way at the end of the street where the monuments office is. I believe it is Workmen's Circle.

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.

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...
