23rd Street

· Updated · 11 min read · Streets

Twenty-Third Street originates in the area initially known as the Pavonia section, now part of Cramer Hill, and concludes at Federal Street in East Camden. The street had already been laid out by the time the 1887–1888 Camden City Directory was published.

Starting at Harrison Avenue, the street runs south, crosses River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then resumes from Howell Street until it reaches Federal Street. The James G. Blaine School stood at the southeast corner of 23rd Street and Wayne Avenue.

YOUTH RACES DEATH TO SEE MOTHER HERE C.C.C. Worker Coming From Coast After Woman Is Injured An East Camden youth, stationed at a C.C.C. Camp in Natches, Wash., yesterday was speeding east to reach the bedside of his mother, critically injured early Wednesday when she fell in her home. Edward J. Staepel, 19, of 1033 North Twenty-third street, is making the 3000 mile trip to Cooper Hospital where his mother, Mrs. Kathleen Staepel, 48, is near death from a fractured skull. Mrs. Staepel fell while getting out of bed. She was treated by Dr. E. W. Kauffman, of Twenty-third and River avenue, who later ordered her to the hospital when she lapsed into a coma. An X-ray revealed the fracture at the base of the brain. The victim is the wife of Robert C. Staepel who returned to work this week at the New York Shipyard. There are six other children in the family.

My father, Korean war vet Bruce Fortin Smith bought our first home at 983 North 23rd Street in 1958. It was a great neighborhood to grow up, always safe. We played ball from “tele pole to tele pole” in the street. Our neighbors at 989, the Petre family and 981 the Hans family. The Stutzenbergs were across the street. We left in 1962.

3 HURT IN BOULEVARD ACCIDENT CAUSED BY RUNAWAY BAKERY HORSE Animal Rams Car Stopped for Traffic Light; Passengers in Two Other Automobiles Injured in Crash A runaway horse was the indirect cause of three persons being slightly injured last night at Admiral Wilson boulevard and Baird avenue. According to Detective Thomas Murphy, the horse, which had broken loose from a tether in the yard of Ralph Marchione, operator of a bakery at 3939 Marlton pike, rammed into the rear of an automobile driven by Jack Silverman, of 506 Beideman avenue. Silverman was stopped on Baird avenue for the traffic light at the intersection. Charles Bleyer, 57, of 905 Atlantic avenue, Atlantic City, was driving north on the boulevard when he saw the runaway horse. He stopped and got out to lead the horse from the highway. He left Mrs. Lillian McNamara, 44, of 419 Trenton avenue, in his car when he got out. Another automobile, driven by Harold B. Ash, 20, of 982 North Twenty-third street, crashed into the rear of Bleyer's car, police said. Mrs. McNamara, Ash and John F. Dease, 20, of 109 North Sixth street, a passenger in Ash's car, suffered lacerations. Ash and Mrs. McNamara were treated at Cooper Hospital for minor cuts, while Dease was treated by his physician. Police reported the horse also was hurt when he rammed Silverman's car.

2 EAST SIDE HOMES DAMAGED BY FIRE; 2 FIREMEN INJURED Mother and Son in Burning House Unaware of Blaze Until Alarm Two firemen suffered puncture wounds last night while fighting a fire which damaged two semi-detached frame dwellings at 125 and 127 North Twenty-third street. The blaze, of undetermined origin, damaged the homes of Owen Carrigan, 125 North Twenty-third, and of John Winter next door. The injured firemen are Junior Captain Howard Gick, of No. 9 Engine Company, who suffered a nail puncture through the right foot, and Edward Peira, Jr., of No. 3 Truck Company, wounded in the right hand by a nail. Gick was treated at Cooper Hospital and Perira at West Jersey Hospital. Mrs. Carrigan and her son, Eugene, 23, were unaware of the fire which started in the rear of their home, until an alarm sounded. They fled quickly when neighbors turned in an alarm. The flames were discovered by John James, 7, of 134 North Twenty-third street, who was playing in the street. The blaze was mostly confined to the center partition between the homes but spread to the first floor rear of the Carrigan home and to the second floor of the home of John Winter next door. Mrs. Carrigan's husband, Owen, and two children, Agnes, 18, and James, 13, were absent at the time. No one was at home in the premises occupied by Winter, whose family consists of Esther, his wife; and two daughters, Doris, 11, and Barbara, 4. Deputy Chief William Harring after directing firemen for 15 minutes summoned more help in fear the flames would get beyond control. Damages would not total $1000, he said. The excitement attendant upon the fire, however, caused George Bruin, of 123 North Twenty-third street, to suffer a fainting spell. He has been under treatment for a heart condition.
