1941: ENTERPRISE HOSTS "TMA LOCAL 62"

The Trenton Musical "get together" included numerous names with which I am familiar. Among them, William Groom (Bill's Dad?), Kirkham, Giedlin, Radice and Cook.

1914: BROMLEY AREA EXPANDING

1914: DENNIS FRAWLEY : HAMILTON'S WYATT EARP

Detective-Constable-Policeman Dennis Frawley was a very well known individual in the Hamilton area. Along with Constable Ceaser from the Broad Street Park area, rural Hamilton was under the watchful eyes of these lawmen. Early 20th century newspapers have many articles of the roving bands of Gypsies that wandered around the area and getting into all sorts of trouble. The article above shows how Frawley drove 'em out of town.

1914: BROMLEY COMMUNITY NEWS

Back in the first decade of the 29th century, the local press always included Bromley news under the "Wilbur" area community news. Bromley had not yet earned a reputation as being a viable neighborhood, when compared with Wilbur, which bordered Bromley eastward from North and South Logan Avenue.

1914: The Copes of Bromley

I went to school with all kinds of "Copes." Richard, who went on to be a Hamilton Fire Co. legend, was in my class of '51. Another Richard Cope, whom we dubbed "Dick,"(in order not to confuse the two Richards), was also in my class of '51, and indeed, he dated my dear wife of 55 years, Judy Britton while we were in Kuser Annex. Then there was Edward Cope, also an HHS '51 classmate, and his "little brother" Alan Cope who was also part of my high school years. Did I confuse you? Join the club! Believe me, it was very difficult to cope with all the Copes!

1950's: Cook's Deli

I can't begin to recall how many bucks I spent at Cook's. The largest collection of magazines were neatly displayed an one wall, and it was a very complete assortment from Aardvarks to Zanzibar. Cooks was also a great place to stop for a bit of socializing with the locals.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF BROMLEY

This beautiful aerial photo of the Bromely area from Greenwood Cemetery to a point just short of Johnston Avenue is one of my favorites. My long time friend and fellow HHS '51 classmate Bob Shinkle has identified "who lived where" when he was a Dickenson Avenue resident.

1959: BETHANY LUTHERAN PTA BROWNIE TROOP

There are undoubtedly numerous Bromley residents who will be familiar with one or more of the above young girls who made up part of Brownie Troop 152.
