News From Toms River, 1866
NEW JERSEY COURIER 31 MAY 1866 Peter Ficangie, son of Mr. Henry Ficangie, met with a sad fall while swinging on Sabbath afternoon last. His left thigh was broken, and other severe injuries were received. Dr. Disbrow was promptly on hand, and gave surgical assistance. The patient was doing well at last accounts. S.W. Bogardus, the discoverer of coal at Matawan Point, was in town on Saturday last. He promises us much valuable information in regard to coal. The prospect is for the completion of the Branch Railroad to this village, this week or next. "All aboard." The Episcopalians have leased a room of Mr. Thos. Hooper, where they propose to hold services in the future.
