Unpaid Taxes at Bamber, from the New Jersey Courier of 25 Nov 1921

-
"NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND IN THE TOWNSHIP OF LACEY, N.J. FOR UNPAID TAXES FOR THE YEAR 1920".

BAKER, Frederick A. 5 lots, Cedar Crest
Cedar Crest Orchard and Produce Co., 6807 acres, dwellings, barns and mills at Cedar Crest. (Cedar Crest Co. seems to have been the biggest employer in this town, and with what appears to be their failure, a lot of residents probably moved on, explaining the discrepancy in population from 1920 to 1930.)
COHEN, Joseph H., 20 acres, Cedar Crest
DALE, John, 2 acres and bungalow, Cedar Crest
LEHTONEN, Lydia, 3 acres, Cedar Crest ( A Lydia LEHTONEN lived on W. 79th Street, Manhattan, in 1920, working as a private nurse in the home of Carl Mead. She was a Finnish immigrant, having come from that country in 1911. It seems unlikely she would have owned speculative land in Ocean County, but I suppose not impossible.
In 1910, a 35 year old Lydia LEHTONEN shows up on W 48th St in Manhattan, also a Finnish immigrant. She worked as a servant in the home of George Vanderhoe, who gave his occupation as 'coffee broker'. This woman immigrated from Finland in 1903. )

The Biegenwald murders

-
About 25 years ago, a string of New Jersey girls were brutally murdered. This page tells the story of the monster responsible. Richard Biegenwald's childhood was as volatile one. His father was an alcoholic and, by the time Biegenwald was 5 years old, his mother could no longer control him. When police were digging up the yard of her Staten Island home, Sally Biegenwald described her son as a hyperactive child. He was prone to lighting fires in his bedroom. Once, he ignited his bed and threw himself in the fire. At the age of 5, he was institutionalized and received shock treatment. He spent most of his childhood in New York state youth detention centers. One medical report said young Biegenwald had a death fantasy and suffered from night terror. He was released when he was 15 and began high school the next year. But about six months later, he dropped out of school and drifted through the South. Over the next three years, Biegenwald had several brushes with the law. In Nashville

Murder in Manahawkin, 2006

-
Asbury Park Press 10 Nov 2006 STAFFORD TOWNSHIP — Two sisters died minutes apart Thursday after they were shot in the driveway of their home by their mother's ex-boyfriend, who then turned the gun on himself. On most Thursday mornings, 15-year-old Jessica Veitch would be in school. But with school out for the New Jersey Education Association's convention, the Southern Regional High School sophomore was able to spend the morning with her 21-year-old sister, Melissa. The young women were shot before they were able to make it to the front steps of their Mercer Avenue home after returning at about 11:30 a.m. from a trip to a convenience store. Neighbors who heard the shots and screams called 911. "I was in the service, so I knew it wasn't firecrackers," said Thomas Niemiec, 61, who lives a few houses away from the Veitches. Police arrived to find both girls on the ground next to the car, which had its passenger-side window shattered. They were transported to Souther

Suicide Pact in Forked River

-
The following grim story appeared in the New Jersey Courier on 22 Sep 1939: "A heart rending tragedy touched Ocean County homes Tuesday when Albert J. King, aged 36, and father of 3 small children, and Marie Pirozzi, aged 26, of Bergen avenue, Lakewood, were found dead in the rear seat of King's car in the woods near Lacey Road, about five miles West of Forked River. The man and woman were evidently victims of a suicide pact, as the police and Coroner J. Anderson have found no evidence of violence. The terrible discovery was made by William Cranmer of Forked River, who noticed the car in the woods as he drove along Lacey Road Tuesday afternoon. When he returned about 6:3w0 he again saw the machine and investigated. He found King's body sitting on the side of the rear seat of the car, and Mrs. Pirozzi's body was lying across the seat with her head nestled in his lap. A hose had been taped to the exhaust pipe of the car and pushed through a crack in the floor so as to
