From the New Jersey Courier, 11 May 1905, under the 'Adamston' section: A 12-year-old boy was killed Saturday by a small explosion in his garage. Police believe the boy, Justin Szuba of the 400 block of Adamston Road, Brick Township, was experimenting with gun powder in the garage of his residence about 8:30 p.m., and the explosion caused an object to strike his chest. The boy was found outside of his home when rescue crews arrived. He was taken to Brick Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:51 p.m. The incident is under investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, the criminalistics unit of the Ocean County Sheriffs Department and the Brick Township Police Department.
