Camden Streets - Eutaw Avenue

EUTAW AVENUE in East Camden most likely was named in connection with Eutaw Street in Baltimore MD, which has become well known since the construction of the Camden Yards baseball stadium but which has existed in Baltimore far longer than that. There also is a Eutaw Springs SC, where a Revolutionary War battle was fought, and a Eutaw AL. A look at whoever developed the tract of land where Eutaw Avenue is would probably establish the connection.

Eutaw Avenue runs from the 2600 block of Mickle Street, parallel to South 27th Street, for two blocks, ending at Berkley Street. With Grand Avenue, it is one of two streets running lengthwise within the rough triangle formed by Baird Boulevard, South 27th Street, and Marlton Avenue. At the Mickle Street end there sits only one house, 2607 Mickle Street, a farmhouse dating back to at least the 1870s, then part of the Joseph J. Hatch estate. Joseph J. Hatch was the father of Cooper B. Hatch, Mayor of Camden from 1898 to 1902, and Camden County Sheriff from 1908 to 1911. No addresses are listed in the 1924 Camden City Directory. Ten bungalows were built in the 200 block of Eutaw Avenue in 1928.

In 1950 a Eutaw Street girl, Julia Pusatere of 113 Eutaw, won the Miss East Camden beauty contest. She later married Philadelphia Eagles football team owner Leonard Tose.

Pretty Brunette Wins Queen Title In East Camden
by John D. Courter

Miss Julia Pusatere, 16, of 113 Eutaw Avenue, will reign as "Queen" over East Camden's Fourth of Ju1y celebration at Dudley Grange park.

Miss Pusatere, a junior at Camden Catholic High School, was crowned "Queen of East Camden" in a beauty contest Tuesday night in which seven other pretty teen-age girls participated.

The contest was held in the Arlo Theater,

Westfield Avenue near Twenty-seventh Street, under the sponsorship of the East Camden Fourth of July association.

Ex-Queen Aides Rites

The new queen was crowned by Miss Kay Worrell, of 2926 Clinton street, Queen of last years celebration. Runnersup in this year's field of beauties were Miss Patti Hill, 17, of 229 Ablett Village, who placed second, and Miss Helen Zettlemoyer, 17, of 135 North Twenty-seventh Street street, who was chosen for third place.

Judges included Miss Hilda Shivers, Courier-Post women's news editor; Don Corvelli, Audubon photographer, and Mrs. Kenneth Silliphant, of 1518 Minnesota road, Camden.

Mrs. Florence Stephan and Mrs. Eleanor Schulde were co-chairmen of the contest, while Leo Stephan was master of ceremonies. The theatre was crowded during the choosing of the beauties.

Wins Several Awards

Miss Pusatere, a sparkling brunette, wore a white gown, combined with a bouffant skirt of starched chiffon with a bodice of satin printed in a floral design and cuffed in self fabric at the off-shoulder neckline. She wore a stole of white tulle.

She was awarded a $100 savings bond from the association; a bronze trophy from Charles Credit Jewelers; a handbag by Kotlikoff's; a string of pearls from Elwell Jewelers and a miniature cedar chest from Hurley's.

Miss Hill, a pretty blonde, wore a full skirt of tulle gathered in a ruffled effect to a strapless bodice of lace embroidered in gold and outlined by a ruffle of lace. A wide band of white ribbon created a cummerbund effect. She is a senior at Woodrow Wilson High School.

Miss Zettlemoyer, a pert brunette, appeared in a dress of pink dotted swiss, strapless bodice laced through with black velvet ribbon. She is an office worker for the J. C. Penney Co.

Runnersup Rewarded

Miss Hill and Miss Zettlemoyer each received $25 savings bonds, a bronze trophy, pearls, and a miniature cedar chest.

Stephan opened the contest by introducing Miss Worrell who sat on the throne to watch the contestants appear. When Miss Worrell appeared the train of her long red velvet cape was held by Jeffrey McLaughlin, 5, of 33 North Dudley Street, and Patty Letty, 5, of 67 South Twenty-ninth street.

After the judges had selected the 1950 queen, Miss Worrell doffed her cape and aided Miss Pusatere to dress in the "royal regalia". Miss Worrell also placed the crown on the head of the new queen.

To Ride in Parade

While Miss Pusatere will reign over the Independence Day celebration she will be presented formally in Dudley Grange Park that day at 5:30 PM. She will wear the crown and the red velvet cape. Her aides will be Miss Hill and Miss Zettlemoyer. All will ride on a float duuring the July 4th Parade.

Each received a pearl necklace and a miniature cedar chest. They also will ride in the parade.

The queen's bouquet of roses was presented by the Bouquet Shoppe. Nosegays were presented to each of the contestants Starke's Flower Shoppe. Mrs. Stephan was given a bouquet of roses and Mrs. Schulde, of of Jackel Florists, received a handbag. Mrs. Schulde decorated the stage and prepared the queen's crown. She will also donate and decorate the float which will be used by the queen.
