First phone in Ocean Co?
Trying to find out when the 1st telephone was installed here. This is the earliest mention I can find in the Courier--28 Mar 1878; the 'here' refers to Barnegat.

Telephone in Barnegat, 1879
New Jersey Courier 10 Apr 1879: Down at Waretown, Capts. Jacob Birdsall, and John Holmes, have got a wire running from their respective dwellings and a telephone at either end, through which they can converse with each other readily.
