James White obituary, 1892

New Jersey Courier, July 29 1892 "Ex-Judge James D White, died at his home at Whitesville, on Friday last, 22d instant, aged 83 years and 7 months. The immediate cause of death was an accidental fall from his porch to the ground three days previous, breaking his hip and arm and injuring him internally. Judge White was a native and a life-long resident of this section in which he died.

In politics he was a strong Republican, though surrounded by Democratic influences. During the war he was a strong Unionist. He was at one time Lay Judge of Ocean County.

In all, they were the parents of nine children, se

New Jersey Courier 29 Jul 1875 [quoted from the Red Bank Standard] A new house has just been opened at Long Branch, called the "Centennial House," which is newly furnished, and ready to receive guests with or without board at moderate rates, house within three minutes walk of depot.

Everett House, 1875

The New Jersey Courier newspaper, on July 22nd 1875, reported on hotel owner G. O. Adams: The Everett House, G.O.Adams, proprietor, is nearly full....".
