Memories of Tyler Avenue
Tyler Avenue is in the Cramer Hill section of Camden between 27th and 29th Streets. Those of us who lived on the 2800 block in the 1950s lived close to the newly formed Von Nieda Park. In addition, in the same area, the old rug cleaning factory on 29th Street between Tyler and Pierce Avenues had been turned into the first Cramer Hill Boys Club. Those of us in the neighborhood could stay out of trouble by going to the club and playing pool, ping pong, shuffleboard, or darts upstairs. We could also go down to the basement to lift weights or learn to box under the instruction of Jim Deckkard.
The families on the 2800 block of Tyler included the Fretts, Smiths, Heibels, Vitellis, Starks, Billinghams, Szymanskis, Mackhouses, and DiMattias. There was a corner grocery store at 28th and Tyler that competed with the one known as Herman’s at 28th and Polk Avenue.
Tragedy struck twice on the 2800 block of Tyler Avenue. In 1949, the toddler son of the Orris Smith family was shot by Howard Unruh while the child was getting a haircut at the barber shop at 32nd and River Road. Every year when the Courier-Post ran the story about that famous incident, the neighbors on Tyler would always see Mrs. Smith sitting quietly on her front porch by herself for most of that day. Tragedy again struck when a former resident, Officer William Sutman, was gunned down on July 5, 1969, two months before the first Camden riot.
Tyler Avenue was a great place to grow up. In the 1950s there were plenty of kids on the block and two vacant lots for various activities. We could play stickball, half ball, hose ball, whiffle ball, wire ball, “stretch,” jail break and mumblety peg. Down at Von Nieda Park during the summer we would play “three flies and six grounders” all day at the baseball field. The river and woods were also close enough for us to take our BB guns to shoot rats or fishing poles to catch catfish. Tyler Avenue and the Cramer Hill section were a great place to grow up.
