A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)
For years it was owned by Joe Mazzola..his wife Marion had the beauty salon across the street...They were cousins of my stepmother and we would stay at their house in Seaside, where she also had a salon.
The funeral home was originally the Rectory for St. Anthony's Church. Johnny Mullen lived next door at #535. John was a Funeral Director by trade, and was elected as Coroner for the City of Trenton. Some time in the 1930s John purchased the building and converted it into the funeral home. John died in the early 50s, and his family sold the business to his right-hand man Frank J. Reeg, Sr. The Reeg family still owns and operates the business.
