During a recent Trenton City Council meeting, members gathered to discuss significant local and historical matters, including a moment of silence for Henry Anthill Jr., a Trenton native and U.S. diplomat whose remains were recently discovered after 84 years. Councilwoman Williams initiated the tribute following the announcement that the wreckage of the Finnish passenger airliner Kaliva, shot down by Soviet bombers in 1940, had been located off the coast of Kuri, Estonia. Anthill, who was 27 at the time of his death, was one of nine individuals aboard the aircraft, marking him as one of the first U.S. casualties of World War II.

The council expressed its respect for Anthill and the other victims, highlighting the importance of remembering local figures who contributed to the nation’s history. Following the moment of silence, the meeting proceeded with a presentation from Creative Change Counseling, which was allotted ten minutes for their discussion.

The meeting, led by Council President Feliciano, included all council members present, emphasizing the collaborative effort in addressing community issues and honoring historical events that resonate with Trenton's identity.
