I lived on Grove Street first, they were 2 houses that looked like army barracks. They were right next to Charles and Company. The city sold the land and knocked the houses down. The we moved around the corner on Montogmery St. Teri

Carole not to change the subject but in my Flynn plot in Holy Cross Cemetery in Bklyn there are several Ryan's. At first I didn't bother with them but over time sent for their deaths and births (all children) learned their mother's maiden name was Flynn. From that found her marriage record in Ireland but not her brothers my line. It was close but no cigar.

I too went begging in Queens Village, NY on Thanksgiving. I remember dunking for apples in our kitchen on Halloween until I was old enough to go trick or treating.

Moving right along here - did anyone go to Wallace #6 School in Hoboken around 1950? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Justine Peterson Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NJHUDSON] Remembering Way after my time. Our cousin was a wood shop teacher in the new Ferris on Montgomery St. He retired soon after saying conditions were terrible. A large group of destructive students who really didn't want to learn any trade and just took the class for points. Think that school was up near the old "30 acres" now a park and pool (maybe). I think my old flat at 339 Montgomery St. was turned into a complex of flats (with heat, hot water, washers and dryers and even an elevator and a private park in the back yards combined. Took pictures of the complex when on a genealogy hunt about 18 years ago when it was new. Hope it looks as beautiful as it did at that time. I now am across the US living in AZ.

Anyone know the above mentioned family? They had a daughter Rita. Tom (the father) was a milkman (I think) and a councilman. Robert Leonard

We had the vegetables & fruit wagon four days and on Friday he sold fish. We also had the rag man and the man who bought silver balls, they were the wrappers from cigarettes.

Your in the new Ferris which isn't all that new anymore. I went to the old Ferris, which is now Academic High School. My niece was in the first class to graduate at the Ferris on Montgomery Street. Teri

Yes! We got our fruit from Charlie and Charlie's horse! Charlie drove the wagon, and the horse... we'll, he wore a straw hat with cutouts for his ears. I think they came by every day. The only other place to buy fruit uptown in Hoboken in the late 40's was the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company on Washington Street. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NJHUDSON] Remembering I REMEMBER DOING HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGINING.
