35th Street
Thirty-Fifth Street runs from the Delaware River south to River Avenue. The street picks up again east of the Pavonia railroad switching yard to Fairfax Street. Once on the other side of Westfield Avenue, 35th Street runs for one block between Merriel and Rosedale Avenues. Interrupted again by what were until recently railroad tracks, 35th Street starts once again on the southern side of Rosedale Avenue and runs to Federal Street, then on for three blocks to Highland Avenue at the Pennsauken border.
As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 35th Street above Federal, and South 35th below.

I grew up on North 35th Street and attended Henry H. Davis Elementary School and Woodrow Wilson High School. My girlfriend lived on Merriel Avenue and we walked through the park on our way to Wilson every morning and afternoon. I loved the Dudley Grange library and was saddened to learn of the fire. It was such a quiet haven for young and old. I remember the beautiful stone exterior, the creaky stairs to the 2nd floor children's room, and the almost reverent quiet of the main floor reading room. The librarian sat perched high on a pedestal type desk and wore coke bottle thick glasses on a chain— but had a heart of gold. I became a librarian and lament the lovely sense of serenity and peace that you don't see in libraries too much.

The home was owned by my Grandfather James David Willmott and Annie. James passed away the year before I was born in 1957. Grandmom lived in the home until the early 70's can't remember exactly. She died at home and my Father and 2 sisters were there at the time. I spent a lot of time in that house before my school days since my Mom and Dad worked and Grandmom watched me during the daytime. I recall every nook and cranny of that house and often dream of it.

Albert Robert Reed & family — 18 North 35th Street — 1880s

An early undated, most likely during the 1880's, photo of the Albert Robert Reed home and residents at 18 N. 35th St., Camden, NJ. Also attached is a picture Albert Robert Reed who owned and operated a dairy at the location with his wife Sallie.
The picture of the house is dated based on information from Edith Reed McIlvaine, the deceased granddaughter of Albert (GGF of my wife Betty (WWHS'60) and daughter of Edith). The people in the picture are all believed to be Albert Reed's family.
The stern woman on the left is Hannah Acker Reed, mother of Albert. The younger and maybe pregnant(?) woman on the right is Sallie Beamish Reed, wife of Albert. The youngsters (sons of Albert and Sallie) outside are most likely Beldon Willard Reed with bike, Albert Centennial Reed, left, behind fence, with Frank Albert (Edith's father) sitting on the step behind the fence. Albert's fourth son, Wm Few, is most likely in the “hanger” so to speak at the time of this picture. A fifth and last son, Clarence was no doubt, in the “planning stages.

My father Jim Wright Sr. and my mother Rita Wright, nee Genovese moved into the home in 1949 and remained there until about 1975. Dad and Mom raised 4 boys, Jim, Dennis, Joe and Michael and my sister Rita. I worked at Cartun Hardware and was the guy who pulled the fire alarm back in December of 1961 when Irv Cartun's warehouse caught fire. I have great memories of Camden when I grew up in the 50's. The Wright family all attended St. Joe's and Camden Catholic. The Genovese family all attended Camden Catholic as well.
