Faye and fellow Jerseyans, A long time ago, and the memories play tricks. I remember that area before the flooding and was interested if they ever saved any of the houses before the flooding. I think there are others on here that may have an answer. We're going back in time to 1870 for the Conover farm. I wondered if the game warden's ( Spinks) had his house flooded. I used to take our Girl Scouts there after the flooding and the whole area had changed. Hope someone else can dig up some memories. Another thing I wanted to see if anyone on memories remembers one of the Conover farms burning in the 30's. I stood on Mary Ann's corner a little girl and remembered that fire. Was owned by J. Taylor Coonover at one time. So long ago. Wish I had access to the High Bridge Gazette, I bet they covered the fire. Thanks for any help I get.

Hi Norma and Robin, We lived on the Studer (sp) Place when my father worked for Lloyd B. Wescott. I don't know much about the Wescott family except that they had a daughter, Deborah, who was probably born about 1941. Lloyd's brother, the author Glenway Wescott, lived next door to Lloyd. We lived in his house for a while and my mother was employed by him. I have a couple pictures of his home, Stone Blossom. It was destroyed when the whole area was flooded to create the Spruce Run Reservoir. Faye

Robin these Wescotts lived in the Clinton area. In 1939 they flooded the farms to make the Spruce Run Reservoir. This is in Hunterdon County. Where did your Wescotts live?

Hi gang, I have been trying to find Sabrett's Hot Dog Onions here in Florida with no success. I am going north in a few days and will bring some bottles home with me but for future I am wondering if any of you have a recipe to make it. It is red sauce with onions in it. Dot

SARAH HERBERT PACKWOOD EBENTHEUER, 97, of Holmdel, formerly of FARMINGDALE Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 11/6/05 SARAH HERBERT PACKWOOD EBENTHEUER, our loved one, 97, of Holmdel, formerly of FARMINGDALE, passed away peacefully Sunday, Oct. 23, with her family by her side, at Bayshore Health Care Center, Holmdel. Sarah was born in Keyport to the late Albert Edward and Lauretta Bloodgood Herbert, and lived her entire life in Monmouth County with deep ancestral roots in the Marlboro and Manalapan areas. She was a graduate of Freehold High School and Drake Business College, later working for JCP&L, Allenhurst. Sarah was so proud of her heritage and the joy of her life was learning all she could about her ancestors and connecting family names such as Applegate, Bowne, Buck, Covenhoven/Conover, Lawrence, Provost and Warne. She was the fifth great-granddaughter of Thomas Warne, one of the original proprietors of East Jersey. In recent years, Sarah wrote about growing up in Marlboro with her parents and only sibling, the late Edward Marriner Herbert. These reflections, titled "Sarah's Precious Memories" will be given to the Historical Society and Genealogical Society in Freehold for others to enjoy. She was a member of the Eastern Star, Spring Lake Chapter. She was predeceased by her husband, Bernard J. Ebentheuer, in 1990. Sarah leaves behind her daughter, Judith Packwood Van Schoick and her husband Forman of Wall Township, and her daughter, Karen Packwood Gaffey and her husband, Thomas of Locust. She is survived by five grandchildren, Christine Gaffey Pancurak, Catherine Gaffey, Thomas Gaffey, and Timothy Gaffey, all of this area, and Andrea Van Schoick of Virginia. She is also survived by four great-grandchildren, Caitlin and Jeffrey Pancurak, Madeline Gaffey and Sarah Gaffey; four nieces also survive, Dorothy Herbert Yeargin, Diane Herbert Brownell, Debra Herbert Smith, and Donna Herbert Terrell.

Mrs. Kirby was an upright Christian; she was diligent in business, fervent in spirit serving the lord; all her time was occupied, and the lamp of her life was burned completely dry; she lived the full measure of her earthly career, and as the light of the lamp consumes the oil and goes out, so too her life was entirely spent. Her industry was proverbial and this she transmitted to all her children.

My first job was with Woolworth on Broad and Market Sts in Newark. I worked in the stationery dept. I was so thrilled to use a cash register just thought it was the neatest thing. Then I worked at another 5 & 10 (can't remember the name ) in the dept that sold material. Boy did people get bargains from me when it came to measuring thru that darn machine that I had to figure price out after LOLOL. After high school I was in the bookeeping dept of Fidelity Union Trust Co in Newark. I really like this job but was transferred to the loan dept as a receptionist. What a boring job, I quit and went to airline school. ellen

I went to work at 16 making levels for gun sites during WW# 2 . Worked at the Exact Level & Tool Co., High Bridge, N.J. We earned the Army & Navy "E" award. Big dinner and recognition.

My first job was as a nurse's aide at West Jersey Hospital in Camden.It was a summer program for girls who were planning to apply to their nursing school after high school. I wound up going to Asbury College instead for elementary education,but I greatly enjoyed my summer as a "nurse".I guess my Cherry Ames books inspired me. :-) Jerilyn
