Don G. Gehring shared this photo with the caption "Don Gehring 5y. little "Uncle Sam" 7/4/1939. 203 W. Mantua Ave. (Fredrick Pontiac) in background"

"Uncle Sam's" 7-4-39 with "Cadets" behind. Big Uncle Sam possibly could be Mayor William Conway as I believe he took on this roll at one point. Remember the fireworks at the ball field during WWII? I think the boy on the bike is Dick Olson, Bell's grandson. Pictures were taken by my dad George Gehring.

Here are 3 photos of American Legion Post 192 participating in the July 4th ceremonies 100 years ago on July 4, 1921.

Walter Wentzel made a huge contribution to the Wenonah Red Cross which counted membership of 144 when the borough had a population of less than 900! This article appeared on July 11, 1917 in Perth Amboy Evening News, Perth Amboy, NJ. $128 has a relative inflated worth of
$2,577 in 2020.

The house in the background, which was one of the first 3 houses in Wenonah, was built by Thomas Whitney Synnott at the northeast corner of E. Mantua Ave. and N. Clinton Ave. The house was demolished and replaced by the Wenonah Free Public Library in 1927."
