Usually referred to as N.B. Aaronson, Napoleon Aaronson and sons opened a flour and feed store at 236 Federal Street in Camden in the spring of 1860. The 1860 Census shows him in Camden's Middle Ward and Directories show him at 21 North 5th Street from 1863 to 1867. The family consisted of N.B. Aaronson, wife the former Sarah Ann Chew, and children Frederic, John, Sarah and Mary, and one relative of his wife.
In the summer of 1861, with the country engaged in Civil War, N.B. Aaronson and his son Frederic answered the nation's call. When the Fourth New Jersey Volunteer Infantry Regiment was raised in August, N.B. Aaronson was appointed Captain of Company F, and Frederic was appointed First Lieutenant. In 1862 he saw action at the Battle of Gaines Mill, where he apparently was one of the 400 men captured. He and Captain John Reynolds were exchanged for Confederate officers in August.
Now commanded by Colonel William B. Hatch, from August 26 to September 2 the Fourth New Jersey was part of General John Pope's campaign in Northern Virginia, which culminated on August 30 with the Second Battle of Bull Run, and the ensuing Union retreat to Centreville. On September 6 General McClellan began a campaign into Maryland. On September 14 the regiment and its sister units in the First New Jersey Brigade took part in the Battle of Crampton's Gap. The monument there reads:
Late in the afternoon the Brigade advanced from the fields north and west of Burkittsville, charged up the mountain, carried this point, and followed the enemy to the west foot of the mountain. Loss in the Brigade 40 killed, 134 wounded.
On September 16–17 the First New Jersey Brigade took part in the Battle of Antietam. The Brigade arrived upon the field from Crampton's Pass about noon, and was formed for a charge upon the Confederate line just North of the Dunkard Church. The order for the charge was countermanded, and the brigade took position across this road, in support of the 6th Corps Artillery, the right of the brigade in woods North of the road, the left in the open field South, where it remained, under artillery fire, until the morning of the 19th.
Captain Aaronson resigned his commission on September 22, 1862. He returned to Camden, and briefly did some work for the State government in 1865. His wife died in December of 1868 and he appears to have left Camden shortly afterwards. He lived for many years in Hammonton, New Jersey before returning to Camden after the 1900 Census to live with his daughter, Mrs. Mary Messick, at 322 Spruce Street, where he died on February 1, 1902.

534 South 5th Street
534 South 5th Street had the interesting story. The city came and claimed the block to build a school and offered all the residents money. My mom was a hold out and they came on the last day with a wrecking ball! So we moved to an apartment on Line Street and in 1966 to Cherry Hill.
