Several of Barbara’s (née Goldstein) relatives - some quite near, others quite far.

I'm new to the group; thanks to Lynne Coane Brofman. Thanks for the invite. Love seeing all the photos, and the familiar. My grandparents The Shippers from Berkeley Avenue owned Stacy Laundry, and Sanitary Linen Supply on Ward Avenue. My Savannah connection is my late Aunt Charlotte Shipper Garfunkel who moved to Savannah after her marriage. My gazillion cousins are all still there. The connection between my family and so many of the … See more

I have been following The Trenton Jewish Historical site for a number of years. There are a few corrections and additions I would like to make. The owner of Alexander’s Pharmacy was Sully, NOT Solly. His full name was Israel Sully Alexander. His wife Harriet was either the sister or sister-in-law to Herman Spiegle. Sully and Harriet had twin sons, Jay and Richard who both became pharmacists and ran Twins Pharmacy outside of Trenton. I… See more

    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...
