I was in Trenton staying with my Aunt Lillian and Uncle Sam Kaplow during the '55 flood. My uncle owned a luncheonette/candy store/ice cream parlor in Yardley, PA on Main and Afton. I was at the store when the Trenton-Yardley Bridge was swept away by the flooding river. We fed many people that had flooded homes by the river. Hamburgers, sandwiches, coffee and such, all at no charge. I was told the Red Cross had set up a distribution point on Afton and was charging for food. My big job was to wash out empty soda syrup gallon jugs and filling them with fresh water as the water in the store had not been flooded. We would load them in my Uncle's car and distribute them to the homes as the homes were being cleaned. We would pick up the empties, wash them again, refill them, and once again, bring them back to the flooded homes.

I walk past that cemetery very often. I live around the corner on the other side of liberty on cummings.. I think I might be the last remaining Jewish person living in Trenton proper..

    Art   I used to received your blogs regarding Trenton's Jewish community and 1 that I remember was from a Trentonian author that was living in New Zealand in which he mentioned an illegal liquor "still" in the period of Prohibition built by his uncle on Union St.   I figured he was referring to the still that was built to my mother's brother, my uncle, Abe Byer, next door to my grandfather's (and later my father's) hardware store at 63 Union St. and came to the conclusion that he was the New Zeeland's person uncle by was of his wife. At that time I sent him an e-mail but never received a reply.   In any case the attached document that I've written speaks of the Olinsky and Byer's families of Trenton, and contains a story about the still.    I look forward to you thoughts regarding it.    By the way at some point, quite a few years ago I stopped receiving your messages and would look forward to again receiving them. ...

PROGRESS CLUB (Forerunner of Greenacres)

  PROGRESS CLUB (Forerunner of Greenacres) One of the leading social clubs of the present day, with a membership exclusively Jewish, is the Progress Club, which since 1922 has been occupying a handsome club house at 178 West State Street. This organization began in November 1894 as the Young Men's Hebrew Club, with a membership of twenty-seven. Its first meetings were held in a room in a building on South Broad Street, below Factory, but later the club moved to East State Street, between Broad and Warren Streets. Arthur Schwartz was the first president of the old club, which was interested in improving the mental, moral, social, and physical conditions of its members and of protecting Hebrew interests.   About 1905, the club changed into a purely social one and adopted the name of the Progress Club. New quarters were acquired in the Alhambra Building, and sometime after the Thropp property on East State Street became the club's headquarters. In 1922 the members bough...
