This booklet is likely the first promotional material prepared by the Mantua Land and Improvement Company to promote development of Wenonah (circa 1871).

One of the biggest activities of the Wenonah Lions Club is organizing the 4th of July Parade.

The venue for the Charter Ceremony was Club Shaguire, Airport Circle, Pennsauken, NJ.

Looking for 1904 events in Wenonah I found this one in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The entire newspaper page can be viewed via the PDF attached below.

This is the program for the 3rd graduating class at Gateway. Gateway serves four sending districts, National Park, Wenonah, Westville, and Woodbury Heights.

The first PDF is closer to the appearance of original. The second has been adjusted to make reading easier but takes a long time to load. Both can be searched for any term in them.

BATTERY BOYS BUILD A BRIDGE

Members Of Crack Artillery Corps Connect Wenonah and Sewell.

PATIENT RESIDENTS
WAITED FOR YEARS

You go to bed and you never think that a railroad culvert might be gone in the morning when you wake up. The Mantua Creek had more water flowing through it than the culvert could hold. The culvert and a large part of the embankment were washed away and the trestle shown in the link below was built to support the rail line.

Check out the clipping the list below. There was a big washout in 1882 also.
