Gropes for Light, Man Is Killed by Fall Down Stairs Stumbling as he groped for & light
in the home of a friend, a South Camden man fell down a stairway in a
Sycamore street home early today and broke his neck. Howard Ashton, 45 years old, 1242 South
Second Street was pronounced dead when admitted to Cooper Hospital
shortly after 1 o’clock. City Detective Rox Saponare
went to the home of Alfred Marshman, 258 Sycamore Street,
after detective headquarters had received a telephone tip that a man
had fallen downstairs. Saponare said Ashton and Marshman apparently had been drinking during the evening. They had retired to a second-floor bedroom, and Ashton apparently had started for the first floor when he fell. |

CIRCUS 'ECHO' IN COURT Armed with a contract and all set for a "clean up," Russell Fleming, 710 Sycamore Street, arrived at the scene of his work only to find the job had been usurped by a Philadelphian, Fleming told Police Judge Pancoast Saturday when he appealed to him to settle, an argument over the job. Fleming said he was given a contract by Hagenbeck-Wallace circus to clean up the circus grounds on State Street Friday morning after the circus had departed. For his work, Fleming said, he was to get the refuse, to be sold as fertilizer. He went to the circus grounds, he said, all set to go to work and found Henry Rothblath, 53, of 2549 Rees Street, Philadelphia, had already hauled away four loads. Rothblath refused to return the four loads of refuse, Fleming said, so he had him arrested. Judge Pancoast decreed that Rothblath erred in hauling away the four loads of refuse and sent him to jail for 60 days. |

Adam Kolb Sr. was the proprietor of a bar at 302 Spruce Street. He died between April 5 1877, when his will was dated and April 23, 1877, when a document states that his wife “Mary Magdalena Kolb” is now executor of the deceased Adam Kolb’s estate. Adam’s will left his money and “real estate” to his wife Mary Magdalena Kolb for the remainder of her natural life. Upon her death, half was to go to the Trinity German Lutheran Church in Camden and half to the Children’s home in Germantown. Mary Magdalena could not write and signed with her mark. By 1880 the bar at 302 Spruce Street was no longer being run by the Kolb family, although Mary Magdalena may still have held title to the property. Mary
Magadalena Kolb remarried on August 29, 1878. Her second
husband, John Daniel Hahn is listed in Chew's 1878-1879
Camden City Directory as a hostler, residing at 21 North 4th Street.
The 1878-1879 Directory shows John Hann at 1159 Sycamore Street.
Subsequent entries in the City Directories are quite interesting, and
point to a conclusion that Mary Magdelean Kolb and her second husband
may have parted ways. The Howe’s Camden Directory of 1885–1888 lists
"Kolb, Mary, widow of Adam, home 1159 Sycamore".
Howe’s Camden Directory of 1884-85 has a listing for "Hahn, Daniel,
home 618 N. Front". This indicated that John Daniel Hahn is living with
his married daughter Christina "Anna" Dellmuth, whose husband, Henry
Dellmuth owned a bakery. John
