FERN STREET runs east for three blocks from North 7th Street to North 10th Street between Linden and Pearl Streets in North Camden. Fern Street is probably best remembered for the bar at 800 Fern, known over the years as Clancy's Cafe, the New Mill Bar & Grille, Stew's Bar & Gril, and the Fern Grille. Much of Fern Street is no longer standing. |

THREE
WIN DIVORCES ON STORIES IN COURT 2 Wives and a Husband Find Complaints Unanswered; Elopement Annulled Three divorces and an annulment were recommended yesterday by Advisory Master Erickson in Camden Chancery Court. Mrs. Margaret Sheldon, 25, of 210 Ritchie Avenue, West Collingswood, testified her husband mixed a bad temper with drinking and as a result beat her from July, 1931, to March, 1936; when she left him. The husband, Stanley, now lives at 334 Vine Street. Philip J. Marron, 620 Norway Avenue, Trenton, a traveling salesman, said his wife started an argument over his business trips that lasted three years. Mrs. Georgiana Marron resides at 933 Fern Street, Camden. Marron received custody of their four children. Mrs. Betty Kushner, 28, of 1164 Empire Avenue, testified that her husband, Harry, 32, of Seventh and Thompson street, Philadelphia, deserted her four years after their marriage. Mrs. Sheldon, Marron and Mrs. Kushner all won advisory divorce decrees. An annulment was recommended for Emma Conneen, 23, of 6 Cove road, Merchantville, who eloped with Francis J., 3516 North Twenty-third street, Philadelphia, to Media in October, 1932. They never lived together as man and wife. |

1950s Next door to us when we lived at 936 Fern were the Doyles on one side: Mary and Raymond their children Elizabeth, Michael and Patrick on the other side were the Hollidays. Next door to the Doyles was Sherry Martinez don't remember what her folks names were. Across the street next to 933 Fern were the Wheelers (John) and on the end by the alley were the Dents. My cousins who lived on Cedar Street knew many of the other people on the street having gone to school with them they were a little older than me. The Bishops, The Gillespies. On the corner was the Linden Baptist Church across from there on the next block was Myra's it was a sub and candy store and across from there was Bens (I think) I know it was another store because we would go in there to get banana fudgecicles.
