Just was looking over a charm that my grandmother bought from the Bamberger's charm of the month club and decided to look up and see if anyone remembered them. It was kind of nostalgic and reminiscent and heartwarming to find this site existed. I have really lost most of my grandparents and parents but one of my favorite things I remember is my grandma and great-grandmother bought a lot of my childhood from Bamberger's. I think I will wear my Bamberger's Girl Charm this Christmas. Happy Holidays Everyone......Laura

I JOINED ROSEVILLE METHODIST CHURCH IN 1960. DR. LEACH WAS THE PASTOR AND GRAYDON CLARKE WAS THE CHOIR MASTER/ORGANIST. WE HAD A WONDERFUL YOUNG PEOPLES GROUP AND OUR MAJOR SOCIAL LIFE WAS CENTERED AROUND THE CHURCH. ONE YEAR, THE CHURCH HAD A FLOAT IN THE HALLOWEEN PARADE AND SHIRLEY & MARGIE SCOTT & I (THE STARLIGHTS) SANG "FAITH HOPE & CHARITY" WHILE SOME "EVIL ONES" WALKED BEHIND THE FLOAT TRYING TO PULL US DOWN! WHAT A FUN NIGHT! WE WON THIRD PRIZE! THAT WAS A GREAT TIME TO BE GROWING UP AND A GREAT PLACE TO BE GROWING UP IN. THE MEMORIES COME TO LIFE ON THIS WEBSITE. THANK YOU!::

great site. My father's family came over from Ireland in the 1860's and started an undertaking business. The Caffrey family had two funeral parlors in Newark. Thomas St. and Penna. Ave. My father was a Newark Police Officer and later Detective. I grew up in Vailsburg on Norman Road. About 30 Caffrey's are buried in in Newark/East Orange Cemetery. The first was my great great grandfather, James Caffrey in 1868. My great great grandmother purchased 18 plots in 1866 for $118.00. I would like to know more about Louis Bamberger and his dept. store. Where did he live in the city? Thanks for the tour of old Newark.

Interesting to find a site w/ detailed info about Newark cemeteries. I was nosing around the Fairmount Cemetery. info as I'm gleaning some info for some fiction writing I'm doing (strictly personal, amateur stuff). Story involves mix of facts and fiction, and is based on Settler's Monument. Incidentally, my wife's distant relative is brother of Abraham Pierson, who is one of founders of Newark commemorated by statue (I think).

Coming Home. I have been living down in Richmond, VA., but have now decided it is time to "Come Home" back to Newark. Was born and raised in Newark in the 1940's - 1950's. My great-grandfather Owen Carlin was one of the first cops in Newark back in the 1860's - 1895. He was also the leader of the old 10th Ward Democratic Ward for 20 years prior to his death in 1895. My grandfather, John T. Tighe was a policeman in Newark from the 1890's till he died in 1910. My uncle John C. Tighe was a policeman in Newark in the 1920's till he died in 1945. I grew up on South Orange Ave and 12th Street. Graduated from St. Antoninus Grammar School; St. James High School, down Neck; and from Rutgers/Newark. My family roots go back very far in Newark. It is time for the to "come home" and if everything goes as planned I'll be back at the end of this month - April.

I grew up on South Orange Ave and South 12th Street. Born in 1941 and left for the Marine Corps in 1960. My local church was St. Antoninus on 9th Street and So. Orange Ave. I went to grammar school there and was an altar boy there. I lived right across the street from West Side High School. They had an 1/4 mile track which the kids in the neighborhood could use, and they had basketball courts outside as well. After school you could always go into the office and "check out" any of the sports equipment that you wanted to. There were many bars in the neighborhood - West Side Bar on 14th Street and South Orange Ave; Lydons Bar on 12th St and South Orange Ave.; Ziggies on 11th St. and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.; Dominicks on 10th St and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.; Roscommon Bar between 10th and 11th Streets on SOUTH ORANGE AVE.; and another bar on the corner of 9th Street and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was a wonderful German bakery on the corner of 10th St. and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was Hoopers Pharmacy on the corner of 10th St. and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was Marty Fein photography store, and the 5 and dime between 10th and 11th Streets on SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was, and still is, the beautiful old convent of the Dominican Sisters on 13th Ave between 9th and 10th Streets. There was the beautiful Fairmount Cemetery along SOUTH ORANGE AVE. from 12th to 17th Streets. There was the Water Reservoir on SOUTH ORANGE AVE. between 9th and 6th Streets. There was the original Jimmy Buffs hotdog store on 9th Street around the corner from SOUTH ORANGE AVE. and around the corner from that on 14th Ave was the Reservoir Restaurant. Nearby was the old and beautiful Italian Catholic church of St. Rocco's. Every Holy Thursday my mother and I would visit three Catholic Churches as was the custom in those days - St. Antoninus, St. Rocco's and the chapel at the Dominican Convent. On St. Patrick's Day there was always a contingent of Irish bagpipers who marched downtown to join the parade from Lydons Tavern

"COMING HOME" - Hello there. Finally did what I said I'd do. I bought a house on Van Wagenen Street and will be moving back to Newark on the 30th of this month. I'm excited about "coming home" to Newark. Would never have thought of doing this 10 or 15 years ago, but will all of the good things happening in Newark over the past few years I have decided that it is time to come back. As they say down south - "Yaw'll come back - hear"

Thanks Mary Chance-Bryant for bringing back memories Central Ave. I sort of remember a Chinese restaurant on the corner of 9th or 10th Street and Central Ave. Many times my mother or father and I would take the number 7 or 9 cross-town bus over there from South Orange Ave to pick up Chinese food. I grew up right across the street from West Side High School on the corner of 12th Street and South Orange Ave. Do you remember the three luncheonettes/ice cream stores on that corner. Perhaps you might remember the movie theater in the middle of the block between 12th Street and Ashland Street on South Orange Ave. During the 40's and 50's they used to give out - at different times – either glasses or dishes every time you sent to see a movie.

Mar 25, 2002 at 19:18:11 Dan McGuire Interesting to find a site w/ detailed info about Newark cemeteries. I was nosing around the Fairmount Cemetery. info as I'm gleaning some info for some fiction writing I'm doing (strictly personal, amateur stuff). Story involves mix of facts and fiction, and is based on Settler's Monument. Incidentally, my wife's distant relative is brother of Abraham Pierson, who is one of founders of Newark commemorated by statue (I think).

Prospect for 10 years and loved it there! Thanks for the memories! Apr 3, 2002 at 23:10:51 Jule Spohn Coming Home. I have been living down in Richmond, VA., but have now decided it is time to "Come Home" back to Newark. Was born and raised in Newark in the 1940's - 1950's. My great-grandfather Owen Carlin was one of the first cops in Newark back in the 1860's - 1895. He was also the leader of the old 10th Ward Democratic Ward for 20 years prior to his death in 1895. My grandfather, John T. Tighe was a policeman in Newark from the 1890's till he died in 1910. My uncle John C. Tighe was a policeman in Newark in the 1920's till he died in 1945. I grew up on South Orange Ave and 12th Street. Graduated from St. Antoninus Grammar School; St. James High School, down Neck; and from Rutgers/Newark. My family roots go back very far in Newark. It is time for the to "come home" and if everything goes as planned I'll be back at the end of this month - April. Apr 4, 2002 at 01:41:00 Jule Spohn I grew up on South Orange Ave and South 12th Street. Born in 1941 and left for the Marine Corps in 1960. My local church was St. Antoninus on 9th Street and So. Orange Ave. I went to grammar school there and was an altar boy there. I lived right across the street from West Side High School. They had an 1/4 mile track which the kids in the neighborhood could use, and they had basketball courts outside as well. After school you could always go into the office and "check out" any of the sports equipment that you wanted to. There were many bars in the neighborhood - West Side Bar on 14th Street and South Orange Ave; Lydons Bar on 12th St and South Orange Ave.; Ziggies on 11th St. and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.; Dominicks on 10th St and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.; Roscommon Bar between 10th and 11th Streets on SOUTH ORANGE AVE.; and another bar on the corner of 9th Street and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was a wonderful German bakery on the corner of 10th St. and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was Hoopers Pharmacy on the corner of 10th St. and SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was Marty Fein photography store, and the 5 and dime between 10th and 11th Streets on SOUTH ORANGE AVE.. There was, and still is, the beautiful old convent of the Dominican Sisters on 13th Ave between 9th and 10th Streets. There was the beautiful Fairmount Cemetery along SOUTH ORANGE AVE. from 12th to 17th Streets. There was the Water Reservoir on SOUTH ORANGE AVE. between 9th and 6th Streets. There was the original Jimmy Buffs hotdog store on 9th Street around the corner from SOUTH ORANGE AVE. and around the corner from that on 14th Ave was the Reservoir Restaurant. Nearby was the old and beautiful Italian Catholic church of St. Rocco's. Every Holy Thursday my mother and I would visit three Catholic Churches as was the custom in those days - St. Antoninus, St. Rocco's and the chapel at the Dominican Convent. On St. Patrick's Day there was always a contingent of Irish bagpipers who marched downtown to join the parade from Lydons Tavern Apr 4, 2002 at 08:42:09 TONYA R FRANKLIN HELLO I SURE HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR MY FATHER FOR OVER 3YEARS NOW HIS NAME IS EARL MOSLEY BROWN I'M 36 YEARS OLD AND THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM I WAS AROUND 8 I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE HE IS ALIVE OR DEAD BUT THERE HAS BEEN A VOID IN MY LIFE AND MORE SO NOW IT REALLY HURTS I HAVE NO SOCIAL OR BIRTH DATE OR NOTHING I UST KNOW WHAT'S ON MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE I WAS BORN ON APRIL 30, 1965 AT THE OLD MARTLAND HOSPITAL IN NEWARK, N.J.

Apr 24, 2002 at 08:11:43 Carol B. Beattie My grandfather was put in an orphanage in Jersey back in 1897 by his father when his mother died.

Apr 24, 2002 at 15:05:12 Kashinique Weems (Kashi254) I attended Louise A. Spenser from K-8 and I enjoyed it a lot. Apr 25, 2002 at 01:30:45 Jule Spohn Thanks Mary Chance-Bryant for bringing back memories Central Ave. I sort of remember a Chinese restaurant on the corner of 9th or 10th Street and Central Ave. Many times my mother or father and I would take the number 7 or 9 cross-town bus over there from South Orange Ave to pick up Chinese food. I grew up right across the street from West Side High School on the corner of 12th Street and South Orange Ave. Do you remember the three luncheonettes/ice cream stores on that corner. Perhaps you might remember the movie theater in the middle of the block between 12th Street and Ashland Street on South Orange Ave. During the 40's and 50's they used to give out - at different times – either glasses or dishes every time you sent to see a movie.
