The stories appear in their original form, although some have been edited for length. In todays paper 9/23,2001: "125 YEARS AGO. On Thursday last we received a visit from Mr. David Dunn of Oxford, Oakland county, Mich., who after an absence of several years , is now visiting his old friends in this county. Mr. Dunn reports that Oakland county is largely composed of former Jerseyans, many of whom are from Sussex. He also spaeks in the highest terms of the climate and soil of that section of the State and of the success of the crops the past season. Mr.D. was accompanied by eight former Jersey men, who will, after visiting the scenes of their younger days , meet in New York and on their return home take in the Centennial and the National Capital."
