BOYD STREET is in East Camden, and runs parallel to Marlton Avenue from Carman Street to the city limits in Pennsauken. Boyd Street acquired a very bad reputation in the late 1980s and all through the 1990s as part of the open-air drug market known as "the Alley", which centered on the alley one end of which was on Bank Street between Morse Street and Boyd Streets. |
Do you have a Boyd Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here. |

I lived at 274 Boyd Street in Camden from sometime in the late 1930's until 1950, when my brother Bernard and I moved to New York City and our father, Jack L. Freedman, moved to Los Angeles. Our mother, Reba, had died in 1945. Previous to that, we had lived at 243 Morse Street for a short period beginning in 1937. Both Bernard and I went to Cramer School and Woodrow Wilson High. I graduated from Wilson in June 1941 as valedictorian; my brother five years later. Bernard now lives in Los Angeles with his wife. They have two daughters and two grandchildren. In 1972 I married Dr. Sheppard Siegal; we separated in 1974 and he died in the '80s. Adele

Jobless Men Aid Police to Trap Suspects Surrounding a vacant house at 331 Boyd Street which two alleged thieves had entered, a group of unemployed men yesterday cut off every avenue of escape until police arrived. The men, who were found hiding in a second floor closet, police said, gave their names as Barney Runyon, 26, and William Newcomb, 22, both of 2301 Mickle Street. A telephone call to the home of Patrolman Earl Stopfer, of 226 Boyd Street, by a resident in the vicinity of the vacant house, informed Mrs. Stopfer that two men were in the house. With her husband on desk duty at city hall, Mrs. Stopfer went to the home of Lieutenant Nathan Petit, 320 Boyd Street, but he was out. She then sent a group of unemployed men working on community gardens in the rear of her home to the scene and telephoned police. The unemployed men were circled about the house when a patrol crew, under Patrolman George Getley arrived. The two men already had dismantled plumbing fixtures, Getley said. They were committed in default of $500 bail each for a hearing in police court this morning. |

BANDITS
TAKE CAR, USE IT IN HOLDUP Three
masked men, one with a nickel-plated revolver, held up Edward
Rosenfeld, wholesale grocer, as he was backing his car into the garage
in the rear of his home, 308 Rand street, last night. They took $12 from
his pockets, forced him out of his new machine and drove it away. Rosenfeld
told police the bandits had handkerchief-type masks, but
appeared youthful, of medium height. A
short time before two men similarly masked, one also brandishing a
nickel-plated revolver, approached Sidney Bauman, of 272
Boyd street, a
block distant from the Rosenfeld house as he was putting his car into
his garage. "They told me it was a stickup," Bauman reported to police, "but I gave them an argument and they turned away and beat it. One was wearing a cap and one a hat. It was hard to get an accurate description in the dark, but they seemed youngish and about five feet five or six." At
1:00 AM today a car answering the description of the one stolen from
Rosenfeld was used by masked men who held up Edward Heaton, 824 Woodland
Avenue, a bus driver, as he was turning in his receipts at the Newton
avenue car barn of Public Service. There
were four men in the machine, Heaton told police. Two jumped out, each
handkerchief masked and with a revolver, and stood on either side of
him. He was carrying a tin box, in which were his change carrier and
other At
about the same time two Negro men wearing masks, one with a gun, entered
a taproom at 673 Ferry Avenue.
Philip Knast, the proprietor, was behind the counter and there were four
customers in the place. The masked He
dodged behind the bar and escaped into a room in the rear. One of the
bandits then went behind
the bar and rifled the cash register, getting between $5 and $6, Knast
told police. They fled, apparently on foot. |
