Holly, Trenton magazine was the business publication of the Trenton Chamber of Commerce. Today the magazine is called Mercer Business. The Trenton Public Library has a complete run to the magazine, its a great resource. As for the records of the GAR, they are scattered about and are mostly just the proceedings of the state department. I have not run across any local records. I do know that the records for Post 23 were destroyed in a fire sometime in the 30's or 40's tho. Hope all this helps.
