News From Waretown, 1905

New Jersey Courier 11 May 1905: A social will be held at Mrs. H.A. Howard's on Friday evening for the benefit of the Ladies Aid Society. Ice cream, cake, pie and coffee will be for sale. Capt. J.H. Birdsall came down from Red Bank to the Bayview last week, which they are now having put into shape for the summer. Much sympathy is felt for Edwart Thybault whose house and contents were burned to the ground on Tuesday by a fire alleged to have been set by the freight train on the C.R.R. Much damage was also done to the timber and buildings belonging to Mrs. Adelaide Bowker. The baseball game on Saturday between the Bayville and Waretown team ended with victory for our boys. Wilkens Burden has finished painting J.C. Eayre's house, which presents a very nice appearance.
