Newton, Feb. 23 - Captain Lewis Van Blarcom, a prominent lawyer of this place, died Saturday. He suffered a stroke of paralysis on Tuesday night. He was born at Sparta, in this county, July 19, 1835. At the age of 33 [sic], he began the study of law, but his studies were interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War, and he went out as a lieutenant in the Fifteenth Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers. He was wounded and captured and spent four months in Libby Prison. He was mustered out of the service as a captain. In 1865 Captain Van Blarcom was admitted to the bar, and in 1869 formed a partnership with Joseph Colt, now of Newark. For five years he served as Prosecutor of the Pleas, and for two years as a Chosen Freeholder. He was active in Republican politics up to two years, when failing health caused him to cease all activities. He is survived by a widow, two sons, and a daughter.

John L. GREGORY was born about July 1859 in Penna--Pikes County? He married about 1885 to Anna H. BROSS, daughter of Gabriel L BROSS and Sarah Elizabeth PERRY of Sussex Co. Anna was born 8 May 1862. I have found them in the 1900 Minisink Twp., Orange Co., NY census, the 1910 and 1920 Hardyston Twp. Sussex Co., NJ censuses. The 1920 Census does not include wife, Anna. She was probably deceased. Who were the parents of John L. GREGORY? Possibly Jeheil GREGORY and wife Charity? Where in Penna. was John L. GREGORY born? Where and when did John and Anna die? Where are they buried? I have the following children for them: Frank L. GREGORY, b. July 1886 in NJ. Wife: Etta Howard B GREGORY, b. Sept. 1892 in NY Wife: Elizabeth Sarah E GREGORY, b. May 1895, NY Mamie F. Gregory, b.

It has been neatly graded and seeded anew. N.H.HOPKINS has on his lawn two white lilac bushes which forgot to bloom in the proper season, and are now making up for lost time by coming out in full bloom. Irving N. ROE has a pear tree which is also in bloom. Such blossoms are rather a novelty at this time of the year. Miss Mary COURSEN died at the home of her brother, Jacob COURSEN, near town on Wednesday last. Miss Coursen had been a victim of rheumatism for a long time, and for the past seventeen years has been so crippled by the disease that she had been an invalid. For a number of years she was an attendant at the State Asylum for the insane at Trenton, and when the Institution at Morris Plains was erected she was transferred to that , where she served as supervisor until, on account of illness, was obliged to resign her position. She was a constant member of Christ Church of Newton. She was one of the most intellectual and well read women of the community, and it was a great pleasure to converse with her.

The stories appear in their original form, although some have been edited for length. 100 YEARS AGO June 30, 1904 Swartswood Rev. and Mrs. H.W. SEIFERT celebrated the sixth anniversary of their marriage on Thursday evening of last week, by inviting the members of their church and friends to spend the evening with them. It was a beautiful moonlight night, and some sixty or more responded to the invitation. the personage was tastefully draped with bunting, and illuminated with Chinese lanterns. Ice cream and cake was served to the guests, and all enjoyed a pleasant visit. Before departing for their homes they presented Mr. and Mrs. Seifert with a purse of nearly fourteen dollars, as a toke of their regard. Again it is our sad duty to chronicle the death of another in our midst. Mrs. Fannie LOSEY, the young wife of Daniel KENT, died very suddenly on Tuesday morning of last week. It is all the more sad, in that Mrs. Kent had only been married about a year, and had just passed her seventeenth birthday. Her funeral was held on Thursday last at Baleville. Rev. C.W. MILLER who performed the marriage ceremony such a short time ago, preached the funeral sermon. Interment at Baleville.

Mr. Hatley EARL, of this place, fell from a cherry tree Monday, fracturing one of his ribs and receiving other injuries. Rev. Dr. PRIEST is reported on his way from California, and is expected to occupy his own pulpit on Sunday, July 13th. It is reported that "Sussex" and a horse belonging to Robt. DEMPSTER, of Phillipsburg, will trot at Deckertown on the Fourth. Persons having letters, on July 4th, for Newark and New York should mail them by 8:30 a.m. , as probably there will be no afternoon mail on that day. Rev. T.V. WALTERS, a member of the Newark conferences since 1845, is dangerously ill with pneumonia at his home in Hackensack. Monday evening no hopes were entertained for his recovery. The steamer Pinafore was launched on Swartswood Lake on Saturday last , and is now ready for the accommodation of pleasure parties. The boat has a capacity for carrying 600 passengers, and is propelled by a newly patented engine manufactured at Middletown. Arthur WALTHOR, an eight-year old lad of Stockholm, and his parents, visited New York last week, and returning to the Jersey City depot in the afternoon, the little fellow strayed away. His parents missing him, search was at once instituted, but all efforts to find him failed, and the parents left for home, but a short time after their departure Conductor DUFFIELD, of the Midland road, received a dispatch from a conductor on the Pennsylvania road, stating that the little fellow was on his train and all right. He was sent back to Jersey City on the next train, and returned to his home in Stockholm. (thank goodness for a happy ending) and Happy 4th of July to all.

Thank you Sharon and Geri both for the post on this family. I have been studying this family for quite some time, and actually have quite a different account of what is listed in this article. I wonder how accurate the source is. I do not know who John Arenson VanCampen and Claus Nicholas Van Campen are. This is the first I have heard of them. It's nice to know when there are others with the same surname around, because most of the Van Campens around belong to one Migrant Gerrit Jansen Van Campen. As I know of the story (not to say its the correct version!), most of the people in the story in the article are actually decendants of Gerrit Jansen Van Campen. Its really interesting to me that his wife (they married in 1659), Machtelt Stoffels is listed as arriving on the ship the Brown Fish with a date of 6/10/1658. Even if the date is 9 days off, I would assumed its the same ship! If anyone knows anything else about either of these individuals, I would love to hear from them! Again, thanks Sharon, We have another piece added to the puzzle!! Now to decipher which stories are the correct ones.

Ira, Richard, Grace, and Irma Current were children of Park Current, of Maquoketa, Iowa, who moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado shortly after the turn of the century. They are 3x-great-grandchildren of our William Current I, Loyalist, who moved from Sussex Co., NJ to Niagara Dist., Can., and therefore, they are also 4th cousins of my father-in-law, Charles Emerson Current. The following articles, written by Ira and Richard, are posted on the Old Colorado City Historical website, and contain early pictures of themselves, their mother and two of their sisters. The first article is about derby car races on White Loaf Hill near Pikes Peak, the second about the old steam trains that ran through the area, and the third a human interest story of an old pioneer of the area, written by Richard when he was only 16 (now in his late 80's.) BTW- when I copy and enlarge the picture of Ira Current in the first article, he shows a marked resemblence to my own father-in-law around the same age. :-) Very interesting!

The Inn is located on Old Mine Road in the Sussex co., area of the Delaware Water Gap National Rec. area. The Inn built in 1740's has been restored by the National Park Services in the 1980's. There are not many of these Dutch farmhouse left standing in the park so it is worth a look, go early and bring a picnic lunch. There are walking trails not far from the Inn.

I have quite a bit of information on Rev. Collins, a Methodist Episcopal circuit minister in NJ in the early 1800s.

Marilyn, Have been looking at this William BELLIS for years now and as yet am unable to make any link. He lived just outside North Middletown, Bourbon Co KY...only about 7 miles (as the crow flies) from where my Philip lived in neighboring Nicholas Co (near East Union). I have suspected that he may be the "William BELLIS" who was the bondsman for Rachel BELLIS DICKEN when she married her second husband Adam McCORMICK, in Garrard Co KY 1805. Rachel's father Philip, had died only a few weeks prior to her second marriage.
