News From Ancora, 1909
From the New Jersey Mirror, APR 7 1909:
Rolling beneath the wheels of the Mount Holly 6.30 train as it was leaving the Pennsylvania Railroad terminal at Camden, on Saturday evening, Robert F. MacDougall, one of the best known newspaper men in South Jersey was instantly killed. He was cut in twain, the body being mangled. With Frank Chew, of Ancora, MacDougall tried to catch what they believed to be the Waterford train. Both ran after the latter as it was going out of the terminal. Chew safely boarded the train, but MacDougall missed the hand rails and fell to the platform. The next instant he rolled beneath the wheels, the latter passing diagonally across his body. There was some evidence of life when the ambulance crew reached him and a run was made to the Cooper Hospital. Long before that institution was reached, however, life had fled. The body was practically cut in two by the car wheels. MacDougall was 54 years old. A widow and three sons survive him. He had been in the newspaper business for over a quarter of a century.
AUG 11 1937: William Sanatora, 27, of Hammonton, accused as an operator of a still which exploded last week, killing one man and setting fire to 250 acres of woodland near Hammonton, was held in $2500 bail for the federal grand jury yesterday by Commissioner Wynn Armstrong in Philadelphia. Two others arrested with Santora, John DiMiglio, 39, and Joseph Aflin, 32, both of Ancora, N. J., are under $1,000 bail for a further hearing Monday. The man killed was William Pavlino, 21, of Ancora.
