New Jersey Courier 18 Oct 1918 As the result of exposure during the explosion at Morgan, Mrs. Lizzie Applegate of Harmony, Jackson Township, died at the home of her husband's parents in Smithburg. She was buried at Harmony, Monday. She was living at South Amboy when the explosion came.

This was spray painted on the abandoned bar last summer. I drove past again this week, and it's been demolished. Glad I got this picture.
