Biographical Note

Paul Francis Franco was born on Feb. 14, 1893 in New York City, to James and Marie

Franco, both immigrants from Italy. The family originally lived in West Hoboken (now Union

City), before moving to West New York in the 1910s. Franco served in the U.S. Army in World

War I and was an active member of the American Legion after the war. Franco was also a

member of the American Friends of Lafayette.

Franco worked for many years as a house painter, and donated time and materials in the

building of a specially designed wheelchair accessible house for John Borella, a West New York

World War II veteran who lost both legs in the war. Franco also collected art, antiques and

historic ephemera, with a special interest in local history, as well as Napoleon and the French

Revolution. According to his niece, Gloria Carney, he taught himself to read German, Italian,

Spanish and some Latin. His antique collecting became so intense that his family urged him to

open a shop, which he eventually did, The Brass Key in the Bergen County town of Cliffside

Park.

Included in his collection were 25 paintings and drawings created by artist August Will,

who was born in Germany but immigrated to the United States and lived in Jersey City from the

1850s to 1910. Franco lent those items to the Jersey City Museum for an exhibition in 1977 and

died on Sept. 20, 1978. After his death, his estate donated the loaned items to the Jersey City

Museum.

Scope and Content Note

The Paul F. Franco Collection is an assembled collection of Hudson County, New Jersey

ephemera spanning from the Colonial era to the mid-1970s. The Franco Collection is made up

mostly of paper ephemera, although there are a few photographs and artifacts. A small portion of

the ephemera are personal papers of the Franco family, and also some personal papers of the

Riker family of North Bergen. There is no clear connection between Franco and the Rikers.

The collection is particularly strong in several ways. Geographically speaking, the

collection is strong concerning items from West New York, where Franco spent most of his life,

Page | 2

and Jersey City, the county seat. The political ephemera from West New York is especially

robust because it contains handbills, broadsides and other political mailings for the local

elections in the first half of the twentieth century – items that illustrate the down and dirty

political battles that Hudson County is famous – or really, infamous – for. As a WWI veteran,

Franco also collected a wealth of material by and about West New York’s American Legion Post

15, named for Charles Cusick, a native West New Yorker who died in action during the war.

Newspaper clippings from the Hudson Dispatch’s “From By-Gone Days of Old Hudson

County” feature from the 1910s-20s illuminate some of the history of Jersey City, Hoboken and

the North Hudson towns. The clippings are a potential gold mine for genealogists and local

historians, where published histories fall short. These clippings, however, should be handled with

care or use copies made as needed due to their fragile nature.

Not or hardly represented in the collection are the West Hudson municipalities of East

Newark, Harrison and Kearny.

Several municipalities referred to in the collection no longer exist under their former

names. In some cases they were consolidated by election, in some cases they are just

neighborhoods that are no longer referred to by name. In order to reduce confusion to other cities

in New Jersey with a similar name, it should be noted that any references to Union or Union

Township refer to the municipalities that existed in Hudson County.

Most items in the collection are likely to have some type of genealogical significance.

Due to the sheer amount of names contained within the collection, it is unlikely a full index will

be made, although a list of the personal names and local organizations found in the folder

headings are below. It is recommended that genealogical researchers search the folders of the

municipalities their ancestors lived in for possible connections.

Provenance Note

Paul Franco died in 1978, leaving his entire estate to his niece, Gloria Carney. At the time

of his death, Franco had lent the Jersey City Museum – then part of the Jersey City Free Public

Library system – about 25 paintings and drawings by the Jersey City artist August Will. In 1981,

Page | 3

Carney, as Franco’s executrix, donated the drawings to the Museum. Because the Museum did

not have archives of its own, it is believed that as part of that donation, the papers known today

as the Paul Franco Collection were given to the Library’s New Jersey Room.

A large portion of the Jersey City political ephemera came to Franco from Albert Bieber,

a rare book dealer and Jersey City resident who was very active as a committeeman in the local

Republican Party.

Arrangement Note

The items in this collection range from the years 1724 to 1975. Most of the material is

described to the item level in order to maintain Franco’s original order. Because the collection’s

scope is essentially about Hudson County, the collection is broken down into 11 sections, mainly

by municipality.1 Ten of Hudson’s 12 current municipalities are represented. Some material

regarding no longer existing municipalities have been filed under the town or city’s current

name. There is also a section for material concerning Hudson County as a whole or its

government, and items that pertain to two or more municipalities. There are also folders that

represent the small amount of material from the collection that is either unspecified or originated

outside Hudson County.

Restrictions

There are no restrictions on the Franco Collection, but it should be noted that a few of the

items can be considered racially insensitive.
