Welcome!Maple Shade History magazine promo video-You can get it here- Magazine folder at my OneDrive
I regret to say that the street sign posts photo caption in the first magazine is incorrect. Although the concrete one looks like one of the old posts, the date on it and metal bracket would signify that it had been an early mailbox post. I will say this in next month's issue. Pictures of Maple Shade book is done and available-Dennis' books on LuluGreat article on Brooks/ McElwee family and last pandemic-Photos Shared-
Here are some photos people sent me- I still have some Books for sale-The Maple Shade Historical Society ordered 20 "Maple Shade, a Village in Chester Twp." books. I sold about 10 already and have 10 left. If local and want a copy they are 20 dollars. dennisleeweaver@verizon.net  A friend of mine added the "MS Village book" to his local history books library. I see he has books on Marlton, Levitt town, Willingboro, The Pine Barrons, Haddonfield, etc... Turkey FarmsThere were two turkey farms in Maple Shade. One was on Orchard Ave. owned by John and Therese Martin. (Swiss French) Another was on Kings Highway owned by the Martinovich family. Across the street from the Martin's turkey farm on Orchard Ave. was Rudy Zillincar's farm where he sold eggs. He was known as "the egg man." He left the eggs out and you took them and paid by the honor system. The Evan Martinovich turkey farm was on Kings Highway just west of Lenola Rd. aprox. where the Iron Hill Restaurant is now.
Here are some newspaper articles on the Martinovich turkey farm- Website Announcements-
I need to talk to Bill Gerkens. I lost your email addy and need to get in touch so please email me.
Someone bought a copy of each of the three books off Lulu on August 2, 2020. There was spelling errors and things changed and 6 additional pages added to the "Village book" soon after and I made it right on the 3 other copies sold besides this sale. If you are local I can exchange you with the corrected book at some point.
