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.

When I have time I shall endeavor to find this man on the Tuckerton census and provide more info on him and his family.

Fire at Green Bank, 1875
New Jersey Courier 28 Oct 1875 Dear Sir--A terrible case of burning occurred about a mile from this village last Saturday night, by which one life was lost and another person was severely burned. The circumstances as near as can be learned, are as follows: Hannah Cranmer, a middle aged lady, living alone with her grandson, Conrad Predmore, aged about twelve years, was awakened at about half past twelve last Saturday night, by a sense of suffocation, and upon springing out of bed, found the floor so hot as to burn her feet. She awakened the child, who slept with her, and they hastened to escape by the door, but upon opening it, the flames and smoke rolled in upon them, cutting off their egress by the stair-way. There was no way of escape now ut the window, and no time to throw a bed out, for the floor was trembling beneath them. She told the child to jump out first, and she would follow. He did not want to jump out of the window, saying,"I am afraid to do it, Grandma; it will kil

News From Cookstown, 1875
New Jersey Courier 22 Jul 1875: I notice in the last issue of your excellent paper, an exclamation like the following: "Where on where is our Cookstown friend?", also the question "Why don't you write?". Now it is quite easty to write when one has the time, and a good subject; but when the time is scarce, and no subject to be found, then writing becomes not a task easily performed. However, I will try to give your readers a few items. First is the Spelling Bee, which came off with great success last Wednesday evening. Two classes were chosen, and after a long time but two spellers were left, i.e. mrs. Chas. Lamb and Miss --- Pointsett. Mrs. Lamb finally went down on effervescence, and Miss Pointsett was declared the successful competitor. The Rev. H.G. Williams, pastor, acted as prounouncer, and John Nutt, pedagogue, was the referee. The contestants spelled exceedingly well, and added considerable credit to the affair by their good humor toward each victim as
