Margaret Hening's body found, 1923

NEW JERSEY COURIER 19 OCT 1923 Tuckerton, Oct 17--Today the body of Mrs. Margaret HENING, who disappeared on July 27 last, was found about two miles from this town and about a mile from the home of her son in law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. KLUIN, with whom she had made her home. On July 27 last, Mrs. Henning, a woman of 70 or upwards, went out to pick huckleberries, or blackberries. She got lost and stopped WALLACE IRONS, a farmer, to ask how to get home. He showed her the right direction, and she was not seen after that till the body was found today. The body when found was about where swamp and meadow meet. One of the many who were in the searching party last July, said he passed at that time within 200 feet of the spot. Coroner Anderson BUGBEE of Barnegat was called in. The body was found by Calvin E. PARKER and Harry ALLEN of Tuckerton, who were after wild cranberries.
