Ocean County , NJ History

New Jersey Courier 3 May 1918 Henry Cale and son, Harry, of Long Branch, had a houseboat party of about thirty young folks here at their houseboat. J.W. Lundy, wife and daughter of Newtown, PA spent Sunday here at their cottage on 27th street. Dr. Sibley and wife of Philadelphia were at their bungalow here Sunday. A.J. Scott an wife were also here from Philadelphia Sunday. Charles Eckert and son of Brant Beach were over Sunday visitors. Coastguard Wm. Alston and family motored to Bloomfield for a few days. Augustus Cranmer spent Sunday at Cedar Run. You don't need a rod and reel for surf fishing this spring apparently, as one of our citizens recently pulled out a five pound seabass with his hands from the surf. J.C. McKim came Saturday to open his grocery for the summer. Robert Hays and family motored to Manasquan one day this week. Mrs. George Cranmer spent a few days here recently. Harry Counts and family have moved to New York City.

Sharing bits of information related to genealogy and history, mostly New Jersey related.  I also post the information on my website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~batsto/ I'll also be posting photographs taken in my travels around the state for posterity.  Like this picture of a shack out on Cedar Bonnet Island taken around 2009.
