Roebling Fire 1915
The Roebling Plant had a big fire in 1915. I do not know
how much of the plant was destroyed or how many were killed
or injured. I am grateful that they rebuilt so the could
help create the world I knew and grew up in and loved:)

My buddy found my Grandfather's papers from Robeling at just about that time. He was leaving his job to go with PSE&G and the bought a house at about Warren & Front to be near the job, or perhaps it was company housing? His reason for leaving Robeling was simply stated as "betterment".
Thanks to my Irish Grandfather; he made a simple and respectable life here and never complained. Would they hire him back? The papers said "without hesitation".

Hi Skip:)
I like that word "betterment".
And I think corps had a better
sense of community and loyalty back in those days:)
