Hi Jerry, one means of finding some bits of data which might be useful to you, is through a Google search--try inserting such as "Standard Oil New Jersey history"...Bayonne, Newark, Elizabeth, Linden, (closely adjacents) were prominent pieces of S.O. history ... I am sure some other Listers will be coming up with some good reference suggestions too! Good luck, Jan in CA -- ... life is a gift, use it well every day... ---------- >From: "Gerald Tobin" <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: Fw: [NJESSEX] Newark around 1896 >Date: Sun, Apr 18, 2004, 4:28 PM > > My grandfather worked for Pratt and Standard Oil in Brooklyn, NY in the > 1880's as a box maker.
