Mary Wright obituary, 1906
From the Trenton Times,2 Feb 1906 FIFTY-EIGHT YEARS AS S.S. TEACHER Burlington Woman Honored by Reception at First Baptist Burlington, Feb 2. - A reception was given here last night in honor of Mrs. Mary A. Wright, who for more than fifty-eight years has been a teacher in the First Baptist Sunday School, of this city. The reception was held in the First Baptist Church and was attended by the members of Mrs. Wright's Bible class and the officers and teachers of the Sunday school. Mrs. Wright has a remarkable record as a Sunday school worker. She first joined the Sunday school when a child, 8 years of age, and when 16 years old she became a teacher. Mrs. Wright's first class was composed of half a dozen small girls and the membership of the school was then scarcely 200. Her class now has a membership of 50 and the enrollment of the entire school numbers 600. Despite her years, Mrs. Wright is one of the most faithful teachers in the school, and this winter she has not been abs
Abel Austin Bozarth
I have heard it said that there was an Abel Austin Bozarth that worked at the mill at Batsto in the late 19th century. I have never seen this fellow on any of the censuses for Washington Township, although he could have lived outside of Batsto and just worked there. The man mentioned above lived in Mullica Township, right outside of Batsto, as late as 1860, but by 1880 he was in Trenton. An article from the Batsto Citizen's Gazzette places an Abel Austin Bozarth at Batsto in 1883, however. (The Batsto Citizens Gazette Vol XXVIII, No. 1 - Winter/Spring 1994). This article only cites "letters", presumably in the collection of Wharton papers at Batsto.. All it says about Bozarth is the following: In 1883, every effort was being made to increase the production of wood products at Batsto. The recent employment, by owner Joseph Wharton, of George Wright as manager at Batsto was meant to raise production and hence profits. Wright, who was apparently not knowledgeable about lum

News From Barnegat, 1901
From the New Jersey Courier 17 Jan 1901: The Tom Thumb wedding in the Methodist Church last Friday evening was a perfect success in every way. The bridal party composed of the little ones dressed to imitate their mommas and papas looked very sedate and ministerial. A reception was held after the ceremony and even to the wedding breakfast was reenacted, the bride cutting her wedding cake in the latest fashionable cut. The other parts of the program given by older talent was well rendered and received by an appreciative audience. The entire program was repeated on the following evening to as large if not larger audience than attended the first. Mrs. F.K. Cranmer of Beardsley, Minn., has been visiting Mrs. A.M. Cox. Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Spader and daughter are visiting at J .S. Storm's. A donation was tendered to the Rev. O.W. Wright, pastor of the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening of this week. Extra meetings are being held in the Methodist Church. There has been consid
