Hi All. Did I see something on here once about an organization that takes care of some of the small cemeteries? Or was it somewhere else? Or am I imagining it? :) My parents are buried in Workers of Truth on Cedar Lane. Alan Richman is in charge of collecting donations and keeping it up. He has been doing an incredible job. People like my wonderful cousin Elinor Pressel and her husband Richard have been working hard helping to take care of it and have performed miracles. This can't go on forever, however, and my brother and I both live in Texas, so it's difficult to help. I am just wondering what that organization is (or if I am imagining it!) Of course, I am still donating to Alan Richman's "foundation" as it is doing a great job. Thanks!

So many of those who deserve the thanks are now out of the area.

See the amazing results of the ongoing restoration progress.

Here is a brief video, made on October 30,

Thought you’d find this interesting. 

Subject: 63 Union Street



On Union Street, opposite New Street, my grandfather built the hardware store, in 1889, ran a roofing business and raised a family of four children. The living quarters were in the back of the first floor and on the second floor. Merchandise for the store was stored in the attic and in the cellar with its entrance on the sidewalk. My grandparents would read the Yiddish newspaper, Forward, and when finishing it, would wrap the purchases with the paper. Many people walked out of that store and were very puzzled by the wrapping paper, especially as the area became less Jewish and more black.

Art, it’s great to hear that the Cemetery Project is coming along so well - a very worthwhile task.

And while I knew much of my own Alexander family history, there were things I learned through my cousin Herb Spiegel’s writings.  Great fun.

Thank you for taking the time to correspond.

When I grew up on Delaware view Ave, a prominent Alexander lived there. His daughter married R. Dobin.

Oh, Cousin Art, God should bless you for continuing to be involved in this project!  Thank you for putting me on your distribution list.  Unfortunately, I don't want to join Facebook so I was only able to watch one video.  Anyway, it's comforting to know this work is being done.  I hope you are well.

Regards and blessings,,

Sherry Spiezle has left a new comment on your post "Herman Spiegel - Trentonian's Own":

My late husband Herb Brody and I bought our first furniture from Herb Spiegel. Not only was Herb
Spiegel a good salesman and a good friend, but he had a fantastic sense of humor! I still have the furniture we bought AND I still have the naughty receipt he gave us!

very impressive video.  I'm amazed by the large number of graves, many more than at Fountain Lawn Memorial Park in Lawrenceville.  I also admire the entrance gate.

best to you Arthur, Marilyn Rosenthal
