New Egypt News, 1905

New Egypt Press 10 Mar 1905: William HOMES, of Forked River, and Miss Stella JONES, of Waretown, were married at Barnegat last Thursday. John WEBB, of Tuckerton, is in the Hanemann Hospital, Phila., receiving surgical treatment. He was operated on Wednesday last and is doing nicely. Not for sometime has the oyster situation at Tuckerton assumed such serious aspects as at the present owing to the continued freeze. The ice is from a foot to a foot and a half thick, and the skipper's reserves stock is exhausted. Some shippers who have standing orders have been compelled to cut holes in the ice and tong for the oysters. Not only is a famine threatened but many of the planters are afraid that the continuance of the ice will kill their stock.
