Ferry Avenue

In 1820 the road known as “Ferry Road”, present-day Ferry Avenue, was opened from the southerly end of Front Street in Kaighnton, the settlement at Kaighn Avenue and the Delaware River, across the lands of Joseph Kaighn and Isaac Mickle to the center of the road leading from Woodbury to the Ferries which we know today as Broadway, and was at first called “the straight road to Woodbury” or the “Branch Road”. In 1832 it was extended to the Mount Ephraim pike (Mount Ephraim Avenue), the extension on one of the early maps being designated “The Road to the Race Track” while on Sanders’ map of 1855 it is named “The Kaighn’s Point Road.” The first part of this road was four rods wide, while the extension of 1832 was only laid out two rods in width. At Mount Ephraim Avenue the extension met a road which passed the Charles Cooper plantation (Woodlynne), and was commonly known as the “Cooper Road”

In 1859 Ferry Avenue was taken over and improved by the Stockton and Newton Turnpike Company and converted into a toll road with toll-gates at Mount Ephraim Avenue and the White Horse Pike. The incorporators of the turnpike were closely allied with the Kaighn’s Point Ferry and its operation was based on its serving as a “feeder” for the ferry company. The name is distinctive of the part of the county through which the road ran; Stockton being then the local name for the part of the present city west of Evergreen Cemetery, being the present Jackson Street and Ferry Avenue, while east of Mount Ephraim Avenue the road passed through what was then Newton Township. The company abandoned its charter about 1875 and the highway known today as Ferry Avenue reverted to the city.

He pursued the thief and would have caught him had not a fat little negress he could not recognize gotten in his way and hold him fast until the bread robber made his escape around the corner.

STORE OWNER ROBBED OF $25 BY TWO BANDITS A South Camden merchant was held up and robbed of $25 shortly before, midnight by two bandits. John Jacobs, who conducts a grocery at 960 Ferry Avenue, told police he was reading a newspaper when the men appeared. They were not masked. The taller man walked quickly to the counter, Jacobs said, while, the other remained near the doorway. Pointing a revolver across the counter toward Jacobs, the robber ordered him to hand over all his money. Jacobs complied and was told ·to lie on the floor and make no outcry. After the man at the door gave a signal both hastened south on Ferry Avenue toward Jefferson Street and disappeared.	960 Ferry Avenue 1938 John Jacobs Camden Courier-Post February 9, 1938

MAN BLAMES ARREST ON WIFE'S' ANIMOSITY Despite his plea that he was the victim of his estranged wife's animosity, Charles Yatzus, 45, formerly of 978 Ferry Avenue, but now of Baltimore, was fined $75 in criminal court yesterday by Judge Shay on a charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon, M. L. Cobbin, attorney, asked leniency for his client, declaring that Yatzus and his wife had separated, and he took his .32-caliber revolver from the Ferry Avenue home intending to carry it to his rooms in Philadelphia. Cobbin alleged that Mrs. Yatzus telephoned police that her husband was carrying a revolver, resulting in his arrest as he was about to board a ferryboat for Philadelphia. Judge Shay admitted the story might be true, but imposed the fine because the gun was loaded.	978 Ferry Avenue Late 1920s Charles Yatzus Camden Morning Post March 25, 1930

	1067 Ferry Avenue 1921-1977 Brass Cafe aka Brass Tavern Fabian Brass & Family Fabian & Helen Brass Emma Brass - Charles Brass Bernice Brass (not in photo) My grandparents, Fabian and Helen Brass, owned the Brass Tavern. My mother Bernice Brass lived there with her sister Emma and brother Charles. When my mother married she moved to Haddonfield, N.J. My Aunt Emma married Frank Percival and moved down the street to 1889 Charles Street. Charles Brass lived in the tavern until his death. I spent many days visiting them above the bar on Ferry Avenue as a child. A Mystery: In the 1930 Census a Florence Brass, aged 16, lived at the Brass Tavern along with Bernice, Charles, and Emma. No one in the family has ever heard of Florence Brass, my mother never mentioned her. WHO IS SHE? If you, the reader, knows anything about this, please e-mail me. I am 72 ad don't know if there is anyone still alive who could solve this mystery. Irene Dunn November 24, 2014 Left: Bernice Brass
