Carteret Street

· 9 min read · Streets

Carteret Street, in Camden's old Ninth Ward, ran just two blocks, from the old Armory (later Convention Hall) in the 700 block of Mickle Street southeast, crossing Wright Avenue, to its end at Newton Avenue. It was laid out and houses were built along it after 1891, a stone's throw from Camden's old City Hall at Haddon and Wright Avenues. The street ran parallel to Haddon Avenue to the west, and Warren Avenue to the east.

Carteret Street fell victim to "progress," that progress being the construction of Interstate 676 that in some ways was more devastating to Camden than the building of the Ben Franklin Bridge. There were still people living on Carteret Street as late as 1969 and Carteret Street was still there into the mid-1970s. Today Carteret Street is no more, having been erased at the Mickle Street end by the parking lot that lies adjacent to the "3 Cooper Plaza" medical building and at the Newton Avenue end by the highway.

Says Del Grande Party Was Tops I went to a Christmas party which is unprecedented in the history of city hall, given by Peter DelGrande, out of his own money. Open house for all, and don't you think they weren't there, both workers and drones. Even reporters were there. I have been to a lot of parties in my time, but never have I seen a better layout, all you could eat, and drink plus the best decor. This man DelGrande deserves a vote for the good work he has done on the City Hall and for its personnel. FRANK YOUKER, Elevator operator 344 Carteret st.

Mair Auerbach, 428 Carteret Street. 1916–1941.

Portrait of Mair Auerbach, 428 Carteret Street
Mair Auerbach, 428 Carteret Street. 1916–1941.

At age 81, I am the eldest granddaughter of Charles and Sarah Auerbach, and I can remember staying with my aunt Yetta in the family home on Carteret Street. There was an outhouse in the backyard, but it was later removed, and an indoor bathroom was installed on the second floor. I can remember the gas lamps being lit on the street, and there was a park nearby that we could walk to. Train tracks ran behind the property. It was very noisy, but it was fun watching the trains and learning to spell the names of the states printed on the boxcars.

Yetta lived alone there for several years after her siblings moved away. Bessie, Freda and Frances moved to Philadelphia, where Freda worked as secretary to the president of Kuhn and Blum, curtain manufacturers in Kensington. Frances worked at Warner Brothers Cement in Philadelphia. Bessie was ill with TB and had spent time in a sanitarium as a child; she never held a job, but stayed home to keep house and cook for the other two.

In the early 1960s, when Freda and Frances both retired, the three of them moved to Miami, where they bought a house at 3120 NW 5th Street. Tres (Teresa) and her husband, Joe Mazer, had moved to Miami after World War II. I moved to Miami in 1956 to go to school.

Yetta sold the house on Carteret Street and bought a smaller one in East Camden, where she lived until her death from uterine cancer in 1950. Sarah, my grandmother, after whom I am named, had also died of the same disease, and Charles died of pneumonia. I never knew either of them; they were gone by the time I was born.

Before her marriage to Joe Wachtel, Issy (Isabel) was a grade school teacher at Garfield School in East Camden. She lived with my mother, Flora Hazel, and my father, Tanfield Kotlikoff.

Railway Men Investigate Supposed Attempt to Dynamite Train Taken to the office of Chief of Police Gravenor in Camden yesterday John Daly, of 219 Elm street, who says he saw a man acting suspiciously about the elevated tracks of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad at Newton avenue and Carteret street Wednesday night after which a 4-inch tunnel, 8 feet long was found alongside one of the girders, declared he had made no mistake. Railroad officials were inclined to scout the idea that an attempt had been made to plant some dynamite to blow up the powder train that passes through Camden to Communipaw every night, but Daly was positive that he had seen the mysterious individual at work and that he carried beneath his arm a bundle of cylindrical objects wrapped in paper. The railroad men who made a thorough investigation yesterday said the hole might have been caused by recent rains, although an official said it might also have been bored by some tool. The railroad is being closely guarded by special officers of the company who took charge after a squad of the Second Regiment, N. G. N. J., had spent the night in vigil.

SLEUTH BATTLES JUDGE ON 'BOOKIE' Liberman Frees Man Over Protests of Police Who Raided Place Frequent clashes between an attorney and detectives marked a police court hearing yesterday in which an alleged horse race bookmaker was freed for lack of evidence. According to detectives who raided when Judge Lewis Liberman agreed, Simon threw down his papers and said he was quitting. City Prosecutor John H. Reiners, Jr., placated the detective, however, and he resumed. Again he got around to the telephone call, and again Sakin objected and again Liberman upheld Sakin. "I'm done, then," exclaimed Simon. "I'll testify no more." "I have my suspicions in this case," said Judge Liberman, "but I have to be guided by the rules of evidence, and there has been presented here no proper evidence of a violation. I'll have to discharge the defendant." As the judge finished, Sakin, Simon and Mardino reached for the pile of papers and books which the detectives had seized. Simon beat Sakin to them.
