Cranford, New Jersey (Images of America Series), Volume 2 Book

Residents of Cranford greeted the publication of a photographic history of their community with tremendous enthusiasm in 1995. For the first time, significant people and events in the township's past were celebrated in a vivid record available to all. The authors of that volume—Robert Fridlington and Lawrence Fuhro—have worked together again to produce an all-new second book on Cranford that includes many newly discovered images. Cranford Volume II covers the history of the town from 1871 to 1960, and highlights its role as a riverside resort and suburb. Images of well-known Cranford residents like pure-food crusader Alice Lakey and beloved high school coach J. Seth Weekly are also featured, documenting the unique contributions of these citizens to their hometown.
