5th and Erie is rather far from 700 N. 7th St. Philadelphia Research

Chelten Hills will answer requests. I don't know about fees or length of time. It is an active, well cared for cemetery. Philadelphia Research

Link, I may be interested in what you find. My Great Grandparents lived in Philly on the 1890 city directory I found them at 733 N 7th St. His Pipe & Tobacco Shop was 16 N. 6th. This sounds like it may have been near by. I at first thought German...Luthern but recently found out that their spelling of the name was porbalby Dutch German...So maybe in the Reformed church . Please let me know what you find. Thank you.

I have just learned my great-great grandmother (and probably her husband), Caroline A. Moore (aka "Mother Moore") (husband Charles Moore) is buried at Chelten Hills Cemetery in Philadelphia. If anyone has had any experience with contacting this cemetery, I'd appreciate your insight. Thanks. Karen

OooooooHhhhhhhh My Gosh. This is incredable. Thanks Mary...I can't wait to get it in the oven.

I remember Schillings and their cheese cake. Schillings was in west Philadelphia.I think it was near 50 th or 51 st and Girard ave. Dolores

Does anyone know where the church records are for St Matthew's Reformed Church (German) that in 1912 was located on North 5th Street below Erie Avenue. The pastor at that time was U. O. Silvius. THANKS :) Link M. Davis entoman@comcast.net

This thread started off related to genealogical research but somewhere along the line has turned into reminiscing about things that are getting pretty far afield from genealogy. I know all of us with memories of the Philadelphia area years ago like to chat about these things, and I don't want to stifle that chatting--I'd just like to remind everyone that we have a sister list devoted exclusively to that purpose -- a list for chatting about Philadelphia topics that are not directly linked to genealogy. We tend to forget this and tend to forget that some on the PAPHILAD list would prefer to keep list discussion to genealogy-only. Just a reminder that chatting about things that might be off-topic on this list is always welcome at: PHILLY-TALK-L@rootsweb.com . Thanks! Joan, admin

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add flour, then milk/yeast mixture and vanilla to dough batter. Mix 3 minutes with dough hook or by hand. Turn dough onto floured board and knead for 1 minute. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and set aside in a warm place to rise for one hour or until doubled. Meanwhile, prepare topping and set aside. Divide dough in two, roll or pat to fit two well-greased 8-inch square pans. Or fit all the dough in one 9-by-13-by-2-inch greased pan. Crimp edges halfway up sides of pan to hold topping in. When dough is spread, prick lightly with a fork to prevent bubbling. Spread topping over dough. Let cakes or cake stand 20 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. Do not overbake. Topping should be crusty but gooey. Let cool before cutting. 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2/3 cup flour 2 cups extra-fine sugar 2 extra large eggs 4 to 5 tablespoons milk Butter Cake Topping Cream butter. Stir together flour and sugar. Gradually beat sugar mixture into butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

I am still trying to learn more about my great-grandparents' bakery at 134 Vine Street, from 1870-1900 approximately. It may not have been called by the owner's name. The first owner was my g-grandfather, Johann Nagle and the second, my step-g-grandfather, Frank Deuber. Does anyone know this bakery by another name? Thanks! Natalie ndburrows@verizon.net

Wow, George Washington Cake. That was a real favorite of my childhood. Every summer we visited my grandmother, Camilla Happold, in South Philly. She lived next door to and worked at Kessler's Bakery. The Kessler's were German and they had some of the best food. George Washington cake was a favorite of mine along with the cheese cake, little lemon pies and snow flake rolls. I was born there but raised in Florida. Chris MAY YOU ALWAYS WALK WITH ANGELS

I am from Collingswood.Does anyone remember the LaRitz bakery in our town?They had wonderful cheese sticks. The Delaware Valley was[and still is]noted for their grand bakeries. My mother was reared in Tacony,and always talked of the George Washington cakes baked in Philly. Food is as much a part of "fleshing out" our ancestors as finding their deeds,birth and death certificates as far as I am concerned.

You guys are making me hungry.! And I'm all the way down in Fl. No chnace of getting some. I was really young when I used to visit my Grandmother in Westmont, NJ. Grandpop Worked in Camden and would bring that home. Mmmmmmm, Good.

There is a bakery on Grant Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard in the Grant Plaza II shopping center. Named Hutchinson's Classic Bakery. Out of all the bakeries around now their BUTTER CAKE is the closest of the ones you could get in the 50's and 60's before all of the really great bakeries went out of business. I'd offer to send you some, but it just doesn't pack well.

That Schillings was in Cheltenham, down the road from the Fox Chase area. The street names I don't know, but it was as I recall a one story addition(?) to the normal stone home there. It was on a residential corner but by maybe 1985 on a trip back home the building was vacant. What an era ended. Everybody in our family and neighborhood knew of the place. I would bet the building with its large glass window(s) is still there. Tom Clarke ocl-tom@ix.netcom.com 5-10-06

Thanks so much, Bob. That's a more obvious candidate. I can see how those two small e's could be mis-read as an i and c, and the Germantown location makes more sense. Once again, I'm very grateful for all the help I get from this list!
