From the Port Jervis Evening Gazette, September 5, 1874, page 1: OBITUARY NOTES OF AGED RESIDENTS OF SUSSEX COUNTY The Newton, N.J., Herald in noting the death of two aged residents of Sussex county, pays just tribute to their memory. We extract the following: UNCLE JOHN HOPPAUGH Died, in Newton, on Monday evening, the 31st of August, John Hoppaugh, aged 96 years. "Uncle John," as he was familiarly called, was born in the vicinity of Philadelphia, and came to Sussex when a lad, or over ninety years ago. He settled in the neighborhood of Beemerville, and was employed most of his life as a teamster. He was a hardy, industrious man, tough as a knot, and for many years in the employ of the late Joseph E. Edsall, at Hamburgh. He never used tobacco, which is a rare thing to say of teamsters nowadays. He was the father of several children, and was an honest man and good citizen. For many years he had made his home with his son, Peter, in Newton. MRS. ASA WILSON Elizabeth, wife of Asa Wilson, died in Wantage the 23rd ult., aged 66 years. Mrs. Wilson was a granddaughter of the late Judge Evi Adams, of Wantage, and extensively connected with the old families of that neighborhood. As a wife, mother, and neighbor, none were more highly respected by the community in which she resided. For a period of 35 years she had been a member of the First Baptist church, Wantage, and her life was such as becomes a truly Christian woman. Her funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Jewett, assisted by Rev. Levi Morse, Rev. D. Silver, and Rev. Dr. Parmelly, of Jersey City. She was interred in the new cemetery of the First Baptist church.

From the Port Jervis Evening Gazette for April 19, 1879, page 2: Levi Lateer, aged 93, one of Wantage's four pensioned veterans fo 1812, died April seventh. The wife of Peter Whitaker of Horseheads, N.Y., formerly of Deckertown, N.J., died a few days since at Charleston, S.C., while on their return home from a fruitless visit south for the benefit of her health. She was the daughter of Mrs. W.W. Dekay, of Sussex county. The mother of Mr. John A. Whitaker, President of the Farmers' Bank of Deckertown, was attacked April second with apoplexy and still lies in an unconscious condition.

From the Port Jervis Gazette for May 27, 1881, page 2, column 1. John P. Wilson of Hamburg last week placed in the barn of Peter J. Brown, at Glenwood, a hay fork with a rod extending the full length of the building, a distance of 132 feet. Walter Stoll, son of Moses Stoll of Wantage, graduates this summer from the U.S. Military academy at West Point. A week ago last Friday Ralph Magee, son of Henry Magee of Stockholm, was drowned in his father's mill pond while bathing. Young Magee, who was about 17 years of age, in company with another young man, went to the pond, and, after undressing, sprang from an embankment into the water. He instantly disappeared beneath the water, and not coming to the surface in a few seconds, his companion, who was still on the bank, called to Mr. Magee and David F. Margarum, who were fishing some 50 years from the scene of the accident. They at once came to the spot, and although the water was about 15 feet deep, succeeded in raising the body. Efforts were made to restore life, but without avail.

Does anyone know if there is a "Black Sheep" web site for people who are incarcerated, hanged, in poor houses, etc.? I recently heard of such a web site in Missouri. My Grandfather, Cornelius Hamler (often mispelled "Homler"), was a "Black Sheep" of sorts; since he died in 1913 in Sussex County, NJ and he died when my Dad was only 5 years old, much of my genealogy research is about the Grandfather I never met. Even at that early age, my father remembers his mother holding off the police at the front door while his Dad escaped through the back door. Then I found a newspaper item in 1889 which welcomed Cornelius Hamler back as a "citizen of the state of New Jersey." (My policeman cousin told me that one reason you lose your state citizenship is when you commit a felony.) My Grandfather appears with his wife Annie in the Census of 1880 so he must have been in the state prison at some point between 1880 and 1889. Is there a "Black Sheep" web site for New Jersey?? And how do I find out what crime my Grandfather committed? Do I just have to look through the newspapers from 1880 to 1889? Sounds pretty daunting. Thanks! Kathleen

I think the Peter below is more likely the gr-grandson of John Beemer. I show that D. Cortright Beemer was the son of Peter Beemer, Jr. and wife Fanny Cortright who were married in Wantage in 1811. This family did have a son named William Beemer born circa 1813. This could be the William Cortright Beemer who married Hannah J. Roloson, dau of Jonas Roloson and Nancy Hedglin.

I read this incoming twice and still don't see who William Cortright BEEMER's parents were. William Cortright Beemer was born circa 1815 and married Hannah J. ROLOSON. Here is what I have on the original JOHN. Note I show 6 sons but the _______ Beemer is most likely one in the same as the five listed. I only show it like this because I don't know which of them is the father of John J. (May 23, 1763) and Philip BEEMER (December 06, 1771). I suspect their father is John but can't be sure.

Hi, William Hedglin was my 3 great grandfather. Maybe I can add something to the record. 1. I know everyone says William Hedglin was born in 1752 but in several places in his RW record, it says William was born in 1760 NOT 1752. I think the record should be taken as proof, don't you? 2. William Hedglin applied for a pension but died before he received it. On 9Mar1859 Sarah "Sally" Compton received $23.33 for six month's pension from 4Sep1858 to 4Mar1859. I would like proof of where and when Sarah died. 3. Although the record says Sarah's last name was Germo or Gomo, it was actually DeGarmo. She was the daughter of Paul DeGarmo. 4. One place in the record Sarah says she married Stephen Compton and another place she says Andrew Compton. I have a land deed dated 6Jan1851 signed by Andrew and Sarah Compton selling land in Luzerne Co. PA to James Roloson. 5. According the RW record signed by Sarah Compton on 12May1847 it says Elizabeth Hedglin was married to Paul or Pane Perry. There was an ink blot over the last part of his first name. 6. I think Esther Hedgerland who was living in Orange Co. NY in 1833 could have been Hester Kirk who married Sarah and William's son, George Hedglin as his second wife. I'd like to correspond with anyone doing research on any of William and Sarah's children. I'm always willing to share info. Ethel Flannery [email protected]

North Jersey Newspaper October 20, 2002 byline Bill Ervolino Hoosier hospitality is a hoot How does a New Jersey boy get to Indiana? First he drives his dog to his parents' house on Long Island. (Distance: 48 miles. Time: 2½ hours. Traffic incidents along the way involving cursing and obscene gestures: 3) " Hi, Dad! Bye, dog!" Then the boy from New Jersey hops into the car he has hired to take him from Long Island to LaGuardia, because there are no flights from Islip to Indianapolis, even though They're both in the middle of nowhere, and they both begin with an I. Cost: "That will be $78." "What do you mean $78? I thought it was $65." " That includes the tip," the driver says. "Oh." ( Does that also include dinner and a show?) For reasons of national security, the boy from New Jersey then sits in the airport terminal for another 2½ hours, staring at the ceiling, all by himself, because no one else on his flight was stupid enough to arrive 2½ hours early. Starving to death, he then gets on the plane, where a flight attendant gives him a Coke and a 5-ounce bag of Snaps. "Are these nuts?" asks the boy from New Jersey, who was expecting, at the very least, a sandwich, some pie, and a big chunk of cheese. "Nope, Snyders Snaps are pretzels," says the flight attendant. "Oh," says the boy from New Jersey. " I don't suppose you have any Snyder's Steaks back there? With a big pile of potatoes?" " NO." Less than two hours later, the boy from New Jersey arrives in Indianapolis, where he discovers at the baggage-claim area that his duffle bag is unzipped. Having zipped it himself in New York, he finds this odd, until he realizes that the zipper is kaput. "I'm afraid that happened when they loaded the bag in New York," an airline employee says "Is there anything I can do?" "You don't have a steak lying around, do you?" " NO." The boy from New Jersey then waddles outside with his enormous, unzippable duffel bag, trailing underwear and assorted debris behind him like a short, bald, Italian bag lady. "Sir, you dropped this," a man says, handing the boy from New Jersey a t-shirt. It has been so long since anyone has treated the boy from New Jersey like a human being that he isn't sure what to say. "Uh.....thank you?" "You're welcome, Have a nice evening." Outside, the boy from New Jersey catches the Hertz bus to the car rental area. The woman who drives the bus actually gets out of her seat to help him with his bag. Assuming she is a thief, he pulls the bag away from her and insists he knows karate, which is a partial lie because he did got to high school with a guy named Sylvester Carotti. At the Hertz lot he waddles over to a window in a tiny building and hands over his paperwork. "Good evening," the woman says from behind the window. "Nice to see you." "Thank you," he says with a strange look on his face, because she really seems to mean it. He then asks if there is a bathroom nearby. "There a bathroom in that building over there," she says pointing to a dark building about 20 feet away. She then smiles and, WITHOUT EVEN BEING ASKED, leaves her little building, unlocks the door to the larger building, turns on all the lights, and points to the end of the hall. Confused the boy from New Jersey looks around and asks "What country is this?" Later, after handing him the keys to his car, the woman gives him a map. "If you need directions," she adds "the man at the gate will be happy to assist you." The boy from New Jersey pulls up to the gate and asks for directions. Another car pulls up behind him. Minutes go by. The man at the gate is actually DRAWING a map for the boy from New Jersey, and inexplicably, the driver BEHIND the boy from New Jersey never beeps or curses. After checking into his hotel, the boy from New Jersey drives into the heart of the city, parks in an underground lot, has dinner, walks around, and buys a new suitcase. THREE HOURS LATER, he picks up his car, gives the parking attendant his ticket, and is told he owes ONE DOLLAR. "Are you KIDDING me?" he scream at the attendant. "Too much?" the attendant nervously replies. The boy from New Jersey, who is used to paying $39 an hour to park in New York, chuckle, hands over his dollar, and says "Thanks. You have a nice evening." And, for the first time in 20 years, he actually means it. Bill Ervolino's e-mail address is [email protected] Keith W Brown Indianapolis IN

====================== A Feast of Ancestors! Enjoy Free Access to the Register Online Over Thanksgiving Weekend! NEHGS is pleased to offer free access to its New England Historical and Genealogical Register database on NewEnglandAncestors.org over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend! Normally only available to NEHGS members, the Register database will be accessible to everyone from Thursday, November 25 through Sunday, November 28, 2004. We encourage all NEHGS members to spread the word about this offering, and we hope that those of you who are not members find a veritable feast of ancestors in the Register database! Published quarterly since 1847, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest journal in the field. The online database includes issues from 1847 to 1994. The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land and probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical essays. Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the Register for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been treated in the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental ways throughout. The articles in the Register range from short pieces correcting errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that reveal family origins or present multiple generations of a family. Look for details on how to obtain free access to the Register in a special eNews bulletin to be sent out Wednesday, November 24. A link will also be available on that date on the home page of our website, www.NewEnglandAncestors.org. _________________ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
