Suicide at Keeler's Corner, 1906
New Jersey Mirror 7 Feb 1906 A shocking suicide occurred at Keeler's Corner, near Pemberton, about seven o'clock Friday morning, when Mrs. Ellis Bird ended her life with her husband's double-barrelled shotgun. Melancholy and seemingly a nervous wreck, Mrs. Bird had been in a bad way mentally for a long time and recently she stated that she did not care to live longer.

Suicide of Edwin Bachman, 1921
New Jersery Mirror 2 Feb 1921 The body of Edwin A. Bachman, of Burlington, an inmate of the County Insane Asylum at New Lisbon, who escaped from that institution early in November, was found in Rancocas creek a little above Pemberton on Sunday evening. Bachman, who was 35 years of age and single, was a braid manufacturer in the river-front city. After attempting to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a razor last fall when suffering from a nervous breakdown, he was taken to the county asylum where it was hoped he would recover his mental balance. He succeeded in escaping the vigilance of those having charge over him, however, and nothing more was heard of the unfortunate man until his body was discovered in the creek. The supposition is that Bachman made his way to the creek and drowned himself immediately after his escape and that his body drifted down to the point where it was found on Sunday evening.
