Maggie, Read your message about Clark Thread and living in Kearny, #5 Vol 158... I also lived and grew up there. My Grandmother, Annie Logan and my Mother, Annie Stewart m.s. Logan both worked at the Mill in Paisley. My parents came to Kearny in 1921 and my grandmother came in 1922. My grandmother retired from the Paisley mill and used to pick up her pension checks at the Clarks office in Newark NJ. The mill itself was located on Passaic Ave, East Newark, NJ and the Congoleum Narin was located on Belleville Drive, Kearny. There were two Scottish bakeries in Kearny, The Thistle and the Caledonia and they probably got their Scottish pies from either Stewart's or Cameron Scottish butchers on Kearny Ave; there was also a Scottish butcher shop and bakery in East Newark. As you said, most of Kearny was Scottish and Irish. Just thought I'd mention about the Scottish pies, both butcher shops are still in Kearny, although most of the Scots have moved elsewhere, in fact Stewart's (no relation) have opened two stores on the NJ shore. Also the Argyll Fish and Chips Store is still in Kearny and they opened a store on the NJ shore. Jim.
