N J Courier Press, Friday April 14,1916: "John Hagaman, a well known Ocean county resident, whose death at Cassville, April 1, in his 94th year, was reported in last week's Courier, was born in 1822, near Toms River. He married Elizabeth Irons early in life, and he had a large family, consisting of 14 children, nine grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Being almost a giant in stature, Mr Hagaman was noted far and wide for his physical powers. It has been said that he could cut a cord of wood in 40 minutes, or ten cords in ten hours, a remarkable feat when it is considered a good day's work. Mr Hagaman was long recognized as an expert on horses, and in his younger days he traveled quite extensively through the West buying horses for the government".
