Residence of Walter S. Marder, 614 Belvidere Avenue
In this illustrated book, the Courier-News has sought to present some of the representative homes of The Plainfields and adjoining territory, together with such other buildings of interest and importance as would serve to convey an idea of the physical attractioins of one of the most beautiful and healthful cities in the Metropolitan District. The homes reflect the desirability of this community as a place of residence.
The churches, schools, clubs and public buildings pictured serve to give the stranger some conceptions of the beauty of the city and its right to be termed the "Queen City" of New Jersey.
With picturesque Watchung Hills as a background, this section with all its natural advantages, plus a progressive spirit, coupled with high class local governing bodies and a live Chamber of Commerce, is pecularily adapted for home sites and, as a result, it has enjoyed a steady and healthy growth for many years.

September 2012
A member of the PGC was invited to 1400 Prospect Avenue by the current owner and enjoyed a walk through the grounds. Afterward, the circa 1917 Photograph of the property was sent to the current homeowner. Here is the exchange:
Thank you so much! I have not seen this particular picture, but it is so–oo interesting! I believe that Harry H. Pond would have been Toddie Pond's Father-in-Law. Toddie is someone you may remember from the Garden Club. She was very well known around here for a very long time. The Ponds were big shareholders in the bank downtown. I think it's name then was New Jersey National. (Not to be confused with BNJ.) This is one of the times I really miss Anne Louise, who was always eager to fill me in, especially if I showed a little background knowledge first!
As you can see, it does look like rhoddys. I would have sworn they would have been installed later, perhaps in the late 30's. Wow! Those natural babies really do last! Obviously, installation by 1917 would have made the Ponds trendsetters!
Also note the absence of the right-hand driveway, which came with the Oneil divorce in the late 1950s or early 60s. They put in the 3-car garage when the outlying property, including the carriage house, was sold for the divorce settlement. (That was before it was called "equitable distribution.") Too bad we can't really see the lovely oak, now mature, that must have masked the remaining drive around to the carriage house. I also like the stones lining the edge of the drive, which looks like it was paved, even then. We redid it, for the first time in many, many years, according to the appearance of the surface. (It was repave or remove. I'm glad we saved it.) We also paved our main drive at that time, as I mentioned. Before that the right-hand drive was still gravel. It's narrower that the left-hand drive, probably because of the trees.
More later. Again, many thanks.
On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 1:54 PM,
I am once again going through some archives for the Plainfield Garden Club and came across a copy of a book we believe to have been published around 1917 by the Courier News advertising homes in the area. Within is a photo of your house! Perhaps you have seen it before? Do I detect some Rhododendron growing under the windows?
Here is the opening page text:
In this illustrated book, the Courier-News has sought to present some of the representative homes of The Plainfields and adjoining territory, together with such other buildings of interest and importance as would serve to convey an idea of the physical attractioins of one of the most beautiful and healthful cities in the Metropolitan District.

NOTE: The homeowner refers to Anne Louise Davis who was a well known citizen of Plainfield and related to the garden club through her sister-in-law, Mrs. F. Edgar (Dorothy Campbell) Davis '60. A volunteer and contributor to the Plainfield Library, Anne Louise's portrait hangs there today. It was painted by noted artist and Plainfield GC member Mrs. Frederick G. (Geraldine de M. Goutiere) Acomb '62
When the "Oneils" had lived at 1400 Prospect, the story goes that Mr. Oniell had an affair with a woman in the neighborhood and he was discovered on one of his frequent walks to her home through the gardens along Prospect. The divorce was costly, so the property was subdivided. The carriage house to 1400 Prospect, which fronts Evergreen and now is known as 1415 Evergreen. Anne Louis Davis then bought the converted carriage house.

Ghosts and Stories of 1400 Prospect Avenue
The current owner (September 2012) of 1400 Prospect Avenue entertained the Plainfield GC member with stories of the house which included how Plainfield GC Mrs. William J. Cooke '16 and her husband traveled a lot (he had some sort of professional connections in Washington, DC) and their son Billy Cooke was left at the house with a governess.
The Stouts (who lived across the street) could remember how they attended Billy Cooke's birthday parties.
The homeowner said that a pyschic came to the house once and said there were 6 ghosts there. One was detectable by the almond-scented pipe tobacco. Another ghost was detectable by the strong smell of chocolate. And yet another ghost would tug the hair of only true blonds. Upon reading the physical description of Bill Murrie, who lived and died in the house, as "towheaded" one should wonder if the tugging of the hair and the strong smell of chocolate are related. (Mr. Murrie being the well known, powerful Hershey executive.)
The homeowner also reported that one day, Mr. Murrie's son, Bruce, showed up in the driveway and asked to see the house.
Once the house was on a house tour and Plainfield Garden Club member Toddy Pond served as the docent in the dining room. Toddy Pond was the daughter-in-law of Plainfield Garden Club member Mrs. Harry H. Pond, who lived at 1400 Prospect circa 1917.

See entry for Mrs. Morris Fuller (Katrina) Benton
Morris Fuller Benton had become ATF's chief type designer in 1900. Painstakingly researching each new typeface idea, Morris studied the mar- ket to determine what sort of face was needed. Richard Marder, whose grandfather John Marder was one of the original founders of ATF, remembered seeing Benton in the company's renowned typographic library on Saturdays, which then were half workdays for employees. ‘‘I used to spend a lot of my time on Saturdays in the library. . . . [Benton's] inspiration came from that library. That's one of the reasons it was created.

A history of the Plainfield Garden Club was presented to members Wednesday by Mrs. Edward H. Ladd 3rd at the club's annual meeting in the home of Mrs. Edgar F. Davis, 1080 Rahway Rd. Mrs. Alexander Kroll was co-hostess.
The history has been published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Garden Club, which was formed in 1915.
The first part of the history was written by a charter member, now deceased, Mrs. Thomas Van Boskerck. The second part, covering the years from 1940-1965, was written by Mrs. Gerald Furman, and highlights the accomplishment of all the departments of the club.
Special emphasis is given to the three continuing projects: the Shakespeare Garden started in 1927; the Dogwood Collection, sponsored since 1946; and the Iris Garden begun in 1932; all in Cedar Brook Park. These three gardens have received national recognition and many awards for excellence.
The Union County Park Commission has just named the dogwood planting, "The Harriette R. Halloway Cornus Collection," in appreciation of the club's many years of service to park activities. Miss Halloway, 90, is the Garden Club's oldest living member and an authority on cornus and iris.
Mrs. Edwin J. Fitzpatrick, nominating chairman, present the slate of officers which was elected as follows: President, Mrs. Wayne J. Holman Jr.; first vice president, Mrs. David Sanders; second vice president, Mrs. F. Gregg Burger; treasurer, Mrs. William K. Dunbar Jr.; recording secretary, Mrs. C. Northrup Pond; and corresponding secretary, Mrs. C. Benson Wigton Jr.
Mrs. Holman and Mrs. Sandford will attend the annual meeting of the Garden Club of America in Cleveland, Ohio from May 10-14. Mrs. Holman will present a resume of recent program given by members of the Plainfield Club on the botanical background of the mallow plant family.
Mrs. John Wells of Valley Road, Watchung, said the club will again give scholarships to the Audubon summer camps or the N. J. State School of Conservation at Stokes Forest, as has been done since 1941. School teachers and scout leaders are eligible to apply for the scholarships.
A colored movie, entitled "Wings Over Blitzen," was shown, picturing wildlife in its natural state in the Malheur Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore.
Tea followed the meeting. Mrs. C. Benson Wigton and Mrs. Blanche P. Nash presided at the tea table, which was decorated with an arrangement of white spring flowers.
