Ocean County , NJ History

New Jersey Courier 6 Feb 1879: Our village, in common with so many other localities has had so large a number of its inhabitants sick with cold and influenza as to almost warrant us in calling the disease an epidemic.

NEW JERSEY COURIER 31 OCT 1878: We regret to learn that Mr. Samuel Bareford's promising son, Arthur, has been suffering for several days past from membranous croup and is now lying at the point of death. The family have the warmest sympathy of the whole community.
