Division Street

DIVISION STREET must have been named because it divided something, but what I'm not exactly sure of! Line Street, which lies 2 blocks to the north was named because it followed the finally settled line of division between the Cooper and Kaighn properties. I'm not sure that Division Street ever actually divided anything!

Do you have a Division Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.

In the above photo, 321-1/2 has been mis-numbered. It appear that at one time the owner of 321-1/2 obtained ownership of 321 and "adopted" the "321 Division Street" as the address for both lots.

Arrested with her were Mary Williams, 38, also of the Newton Avenue address; Charles Weatherby, 28, of 548 Division Street and Edward Werner, 26, of 707 New Street. They were charged with being inmates.
     Sergeant John Deith and Policeman Earl Wright said they found whiskey on a table after they went \to the house in response to the complaint. Wright testified he had to climb the rainspout to get in.
     Mrs. Holmes denied the charge but was found guilty. The other woman and the two men were fined $10 each.
