Bone Hill

Bone Hill

Bone Hill was a section of Manchester Township in Ocean County, off
what is now Route 37.

There is still a road off Route 37 called Bone Hill Road, but no sign of any settlement on
that road. About 1/4 mile further up Route 37 is a graveyard, which I have been told is the
Bone Hill Cemetery. It is worth noting, I suppose,
that none of the residents listed below are buried in that cemetery.

In 1930, according to the census, there were two homes in this 'section' of the township.
They were occupied as follows:

Hse	Fam	Surname	Name	Age	Birth	Occupation	Real Est.
31	33	CHILDERS	Earl C.	36	IA	---	$4200
			Minette	34	NJ
			Earl S.	13	NY
			John J.	11	NY
			George	9	NY
			Albert	7	NY
			Jane	5	NY
			Ralph	3y 5mos	NY
			Marguerite	1y 9mo	NJ
			Phebe	10 mos	NJ

			Lester	16	NJ
			Collen	14	NJ
			Woodrow	12	NJ
			Adelaide	10	NJ
			Samuel	5	NJ
			Elizabeth	4	NJ
			Paul	1	NJ
			Daria	0	NJ

Although Minette Childers ws born in New Jersey, her father was born in New York. (Her mother was also from NJ).
Daria Carpenter's age is listed as '0', so presumably she was a newborn at the time of the census in April 1930?
