"SAFE DAY" WOODLAND CEMETERY - NEWARK, NJ FAMILY GRAVESITE VISITATION & TOMBSTONE RECORDING DAY Saturday, June 2, 2007 - 9:30 a.m. (rain date Sunday, June 3) For old friends who help each year, it's that time again. For new people who have never had the opportunity, this is your chance to go to Woodland Cemetery in Newark, NJ to visit your family gravesites in the security of a group. For those out of state, our volunteers will help with pictures and tombstone inscriptions of your family gravesite. Each year the Newark Police Dept. has provided us with on-site protection, for which we are very grateful. Woodland Cemetery in Newark has over 82,000 burials from 1856 to the present. We are not affiliated with Woodland Cemetery in any way, but work only as a volunteer group trying to preserve the tombstone inscriptions and helping family researchers find their ancestors through our computer database. For those who are able to attend, we ask that you allow some time to help record tombstone inscriptions. Please invite your friends (adults only) - it is always an enjoyable day outdoors and you will be giving something back to the research community! We'll pair you up with someone, so please come even if you are by yourself. Anyone who will be searching for family gravesites and needs help in locating them, please e-mail or call us by May 23rd to let us know what gravesite you will want to visit. We will not have all of the cemetery data with us - so you must request a map by May 23rd. There is no office at the cemetery. This way we can check for your family names in the computer database and prepare a map in order to guide you. Anyone who cannot attend, but would like inscriptions and pictures of their family tombstones, please make arrangements with John or me by May 23rd and we will do our best to record inscriptions and take pictures of your sites, time permitting. To everyone: please let us know if you will be attending so we will have an approximate headcount. The day is Saturday, June 2nd, at 9:30 a.m. with a rain date of Sunday, June 3rd, again at 9:30 a.m. If both days are raining, a new date will be set at a later time. If there is a question on the weather, anyone may call in the morning between 8:00-8:30 at 973-809-3428 to find out if we're still "on". The gate entrance for Woodland Cemetery is located at 670 South 10th Street between Springfield and Avon Avenues, Newark, NJ. Directions - take the Garden State Parkway to the Springfield Ave. Irvington Exit #143. Take Springfield Ave East to South 10th Street. Make a right onto South 10th Street. The cemetery is located a quarter mile down on the left side. Please drive into the cemetery and follow the main roadway until you see cars and the volunteers. As a reminder, here are a few suggestions if you are planning on joining us to record tombstone inscriptions: Wear long pants, a short-sleeved shirt, with a long sleeved shirt/sweatshirt over it. Wear socks and either sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes of some sort. If you will be spending a few hours with us, bring some cold bottled water or soda - you will get thirsty - and a snack. Also: * pencils/pens - we'll supply the paper * clip board (if you have one; if not, we will have a few available) * digital camera - if you have one - we are collecting as many digital pictures of tombstones as we can - but we still need the handwritten inscription also since the digital picture doesn't always show the exact inscription * sunglasses (sometimes easier to see the inscription) * small garden tool(s) to pull back weeds from tombstone; * a plastic bucket to put all your "stuff" in - the tools, camera, chalk, etc. - it makes it easier for you to carry everything from stone to stone. * an old towel or a kneeling cushion (they're about $1.00 - you'll thank me!) -- some tombstones only show a couple of inches above ground... * folding beach chair to rest Any questions, e-mail or call either of us: John Sass Mary Lish <mailto:jajs918@aol.com> jajs918@aol.com <mailto:mary.lish@verizon.net> mary.lish@verizon.net Bloomfield, NJ Nutley, NJ 973-748-0985 973-667-0450 Mary Lish mary.lish@verizon.net

This was the time frame that I am looking for, in particular when the stores downtown included Nathans, Wolfsons,Melburns, Style Shop, P.J. Youngs, Fishmans 5&10, etc. There was Thode's Drug Store on George that had the gorgeous green tile wall that included an open channel of water where goldfish swam. I am surprised that the former owners of these stores don't donate photos, as the stores were usually family owned. Thank you for all of your help and interest. I have posted before asking about this but you are the only one who ever responded....Victoria Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The view of Albany Street was a new one to see. I am looking for photos of downtown Brunswick during it's shopping heyday which easily was the 40's and 50's. This was when downtown N.B. was still a classy city to shop in and the stores were beautifully maintained. Once the 60's rolled in, the downtown area became a sight for sore eyes to put it nicely and the last time I saw it, the decline had taken it's toll.

I was looking for McNair's, but a whole page of M surnames was totally illegible. The dates I could read on that page were 1700's. For what I did transcribe, much of the writing was unclear, so I have question marks where it was not legible, or where I was unsure of a letter or number. I only transcribed the names that I know some are looking for and some that I may need in the future. There were many other names listed that I didn't transcribe. In particular, there were lots of Bloomfields, Ayers and Fitz Randolfs listed.
