To Whom It May Concern,
My late mother was Edith Pansey Behrens 1919-2008) who was born and raised in South River NJ. Her parents were Dr Abraham and Anna Pansy. He was a doctor in South River for several decades, from the 1920s-1960s. His practice was at 5 4th Street near Jackson Avenue. Would anyone among you recall the Pansy family ?
sincerely,
Bernie Behrens
son of Edith Pansy and grandson of Abe and Anna Pansy

My grandfather was Joseph Sebeny--proprietor of Budapest Tavern on Thomas Street in SR. He, along with my grandmother, Margaret Sebeny, raised their six children (including my mother Helen Sebeny Lucas) on Prospect Street. My parents and I lived in this house when I was pre-school age before moving to Milltown. My Aunt Margaret Sebeny Molnar was a long-time teacher in Willet School and lived on Claremont Ave. until her death. Another aunt, Elizabeth Sebeny Farnsworth, was also a lifelong SR resident until her death a few years ago. My Sebeny relatives are buried at Washingtom Monumental Cemetary. My mom Helen was the last surviving sister and she just passed away at 91 this past January. So I do have a HISTORY with this wonderful little town! As the Historical Society, I have a question for you--Would you know where I could find a BUDAPEST TAVERN calendar that would have been printed in the 1940's??! I know its an odd request, but nothing remains from his tavern and I do know that these existed! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your great website. Deb Kobel

I just happen to come upon this site. I grew up in South River only for a short time from 1960-1971 but have wonderful memories. I attended Campbell School. I can remember every inch of that school and all of my teachers. It was a wonderful old school. I was a part of Mrs. Drumwright's 5th grade class that did the mural of South River. Apparently I am in some pictures that are in the museum. Is it possible to get a copy of that picture? I have been trying for years to find something out about what happened to that mural that we all worked so hard on. How wonderful that it is now hanging in the towns museum.

As a child I lived in an apt. on the first floor down a hallway through an entrance of a building right on the corner of Main and Ferry. I am curious as to what the building originally was, if anyone has any photos of it, and what it is currently being used for now. Please reply if you have any answers. Thank you.

I am the granddaughter of Charlie and Margaret Buttcher and my Grandfather worked in Nussbaum Butcher shop in Ferry Street across from Spitilarie's Furniture. I remember walking in the butcher shop with my dad...Grandpa worked in Fultons Fish Market in New York City in the early years of our family and had 9 children and then my dad had the most kids and we had 6 and grandpa worked in Nussbaums for many years as a butcher there and his 9 kids came in from time to time to visit the shop. If anyone has pictures of the that shop or remember Charlie Buttcher please let me know. Grandpa worked very hard for Mr.Nussbaum and we all had go food to eat because of this butcher shop and with 9 kids to feed grandma and grandpa Buttcher needed a good butcher shop don't you think, so God Bless You Mr. Nussbaum and South River.... It was a nice place for him to work,I think..

I was Googling South River and came on this site. I was born in 1946 in New Brunswick, NJ. We lived in South River, in the old Alexander Bldg. My first haircut was had at a barbershop on the left hand side, next to the Capitol Theater. We moved to East Brunswick, on Wallace St. when I was 5 but we continued to use the downtown area of South River for years. I attended many Saturday shows at the Capitol as a boy. I used to ice skate at Daly's pond and attended the Hungarian Reformed Church(then changed to 1st Reformed Church) ( the street I don't remember). My grandpa helped to provide the money and install the steeple. The pastor was Rev. Emil Vargas. I left NJ in 1964, never to return, except for short visits but I've not been back for 25 years. I now live in San Jose, Ca.

I grew up in South River, living there from 1951 to 1979, first at 19 Jackson Street until 1962, and then at 510 Old Bridge Turnpike, where my father had his optometric practice. I attended Willett School, and South River Junior and Senior High Schools, graduating in 1969. My mother, Anita Schwartz, was born on Whitehead Avenue in 1915. All my grandparents lived in South River until their passings. My parents retired and moved to Florida in 1982. My maternal grandfather, Joseph Schwartz, was one of the founders of Congregation Anshe Emeth, which was located on Whitehead Avenue. He owned the building located at 19 Jackson Street, which I believe he had constructed. He operated a general store on the first floor. My father and uncle had their optometric and dental practices on the second floor of this building, which also had an apartment. My paternal grandparents lived at 10 Garwood Street.

There is a concrete building on Radcliffe St. You can't miss it. It is now a machine shop, but it used to be the B&M Printing Co. owned by my father Stephen C. He had it built about 1946. Across the street, used to be Leon Kuberski's riding stables, before he moved out to what we used to call Snake Hill Road (River Road). I would be honored if you would take a picture and put it into your data base.

Members of my family use to own the 124 Main Street house that was sold to the Baptist Church in the 1950-06s. I think I see a picture labeled the house on the corner of Jackson and Main.
I just heard that there was an article in the Sentinal about how the church couldn't afford to preserve it. Why doesn't the Historical Preservation Society look into it.
Of what I remember - it is a lovely large Queen Ann Victorian style house with a wrap around porch, generous rooms and easy access with a long drive way and yard.
I have some different pictures with its awnings on and also a winter scene before the church was built on the very corner.
If you are interested let me know.

Thanks so much for the work you have done on these historical pictures! I especially appreciate the pictures of Tabernacle Baptist Church, and the George Radcliffe home on Obert Street. My mother and her siblings grew up in this home after their father died when my mother was 9-years-old. Their mother was the housekeeper, and they lived in an apartment in the attic of the house. I did NOT have a picture of the entire house - just pictures taken in the yard. I played there as a very young child.
I graduated from SRHS in the class of 1952! Thanks also for the picture of the old high school. You have done a great job with this last update; I found it when I wanted a copy of TBC for a Christmas card I was making. I had saved the Web site on Favorites, but hadn't checked it for a while.
South River seems a very long way from Fairbanks, AK, but it reminds me a lot of SR while I was growing up there.
Thanks again for you fine work, and for sharing it with us older grads!!

I was just looking to find out what was located at 60 Main st where Mary and Paul's Card & Gift Store is now located. I heared some say it was at one time a grocery and fish store way back but I wanted to see if any one else has anything on it.

I grew up at 26 Washington Road on the Sayreville side of the South River bridge in the 50's having been born in 1947 when my parents lived on Reid St. The site brought back a lot of pleasant memories; buying my first paperback book for 35 cents in a drug store on main street, picking up hard rolls and jelly doughnuts from the bakery by the Russian church and when the Sunday newspaper at Becker's, catching nightcrawler's on the Whitehead mansion lawn to go fishing with, the hitching post by the doctor's office on Main, Boyce's Diner and many, many others. I'm a medically retired Air Force Officer and sometimes a trip to the "golden past" makes a day more pleasant. Thanks!

As a S.R. native whose Peterson ancestors first came to the area in the late 1700's, I truly enjoyed the tour. Thanks very much for the time and effort you invested. The finished product is something you can be proud of.

A message to Ms.Carney.
I remember when you started at SRHS. I was in the class of 68. You were my history teacher senior year. It is nice to see that you stayed and that you have completed this great project. I actually wound up with a degree in American History from Brown University.
You can be very proud of this page and the kids you are working with . Great job, keep up the good work.
And, Thank You for being a great teacher.

Guys:
What a great site, congratulations on this accomplishment. I look forward to seeing my house at 279 Main Street on this page one day.
And greetings to Mrs. Carney, one of the greatest teachers I had at SRHS!
Keep up the great work, and publicize it more. The residents of South River should know about the great work you are doing.
Regards,
Mary Ann
