New Jersey Courier, Wednesday December 22,1886: "An accident occurred at the crossing of the New Jersey Southern Railway at Ridgeway yesterday morning, resulting in the death of a man directly in front of his home, and within twenty yards of it. Millard F Jameson, a son in law of John H Irons, had been at work with his father-in-law a short distance from his home. Shortly after eleven o'clock, he started for home to put up his team. To reach home he was compelled to cross the railroad track. Train No. 10, William Savage, engineer and George Brown conducter, left Lakwewood at 10:45, for Barnegat, being due at this town at 11:20. When within a short distance of the Ridgeway crossing, the engineer saw Jameson on the track with his team. The air brakes were at once put on, the engine reversed and the throttle pulled wide open, but too late to avert the catastrophe, although the train was stopped within two hundred feet of the spot where it was when Jameson was first seen....
