Dear list members; Would someone have access to the 1895 and 1905 state census records for Plainfield and could look up a Joseph B. Morrison, b. Oct. 1857 NY, m. to Anna W. (?) and living at 718 South Ave. in the 1900 Federal Census? Thank you so much in advance. Barbara Benjamin

Judy, This is a good point. Of course, I will be looking only at the book so will be listing those who have tombstone inscriptions. Thanks for calling that to my attention and also to the attention of the list.

You are looking for information that is quite recent compared to most of the searches that I am on and I wondered if you have tried to get in touch with members of the family that are currently living who might have what you are looking for? Have you ever used the look-up feature on the internet for current phone numbers? I think of it as an additional phone book. Not everyone is in there but I typed the names "Teeple" and "Coeyman" into my computer and found over 30 Teeples and 6 Coeymans in the state of New Jersey. One of the Coeyman is from the Belmar area and it may be a child or grandchild. It would certainly be worth a call or letter. That is an unusual name and I would think there has to be a connection. I didn't bother to check, but you can also look up email addresses and they may have one of those listed also. I hope you have good luck in your search. Alice

Hi- Does anyone know the name of the cemetery connected with/to: Sacred Heart Church 531 Washington Avenue, South Amboy, NJ 08879 Thank u : )

Just a note regarding the Rahway book - it contains tombstone inscriptions, not interrment records. So if the person in question did not have a stone or it was no longer there when the survey was made, they would not be in the book.

Thank you so much. I would be interested in DENNICK and EGAN. Most likely, you will find them in the Evergreen Cemetery. [email protected]

Thank you for your very generous offer! I have hit a brick wall in my research. I'm looking for the family of James Thomas "Thomas" Teeple and his wife, Ida "Lola" (Duhamel) Teeple. I have found them living in Marshall County, MN around the turn of the century and I know they then moved to NJ, to the Plainfield (North or South?) area. Could you please check for any Teeple surnames? They had the following children: George J. (in 1958 was living in Elizabeth, NJ), Alfred (married a woman named Clara and in 1958 was living in North Plainfield), Walter (may have died in Newark, Essex Co., NJ in April 1971), Russell (died before 1958), Benjamin (in 1958 was living in Middlesex, NJ and may have died in July 1976 in Paupack, PA),] Zilda I. (married a man named Coeyman and in 1958 was living in Belmar, NJ), and Martin "Dutch" Teeple who died on 4-2-1958 in Dunellen, NJ. I included the children for identification purposes. Any info. available on these Teeples would be most appreciated. I'm almost finished with the Duhamel family history, but lack info. on these relatives. Thank you for you assistance. Joni Leffler [email protected]

Arlene, Your offer is most appreciated. The family i'm looking for is Dalton any Dalton family you find would be appreciated.

Recently it seems to me (although I deleted them) that there were people inquiring about the name Hetfield. Last year I made a copy of a page from the Evergreen Cemetery, Plainfield, NJ book located in the Westfield Library of part of the letter H as it had some Heddens I was looking for. When I reviewed this page over the weekend, I found 4 Hetfields so here they are. HETFIELD Anna, b. 26 Oct., 1852, d. 26 May 1854, dau. of Levi Hetfield Caroline, b. 24 Aug. 1848, d. 31 July 1854, dau. of Levi Hetfield Frazee, d. 14 Sept., 1884, age 64 yrs. 11 mo. 20 days Hannah C., d. 22 April 1884, age 92 yrs, 23 days. Wife of William Hetfield They may have been more on the next page but this is all I have. I hope this helps someone. If you would like me to look up more when I go back to Westfield this spring/summer, let me know. Arlene Dunkum

Dear listers, I have received so much help from folks on this list that it is time for me to give back. I am going to NJ in the spring or early summer and will be making a trip to the Westfield Library. We have determined on this list that the library has a book listing burials in the Rahway cemetery. They also have one for the Evergreen cemetery located in Plainfield. I looked at both books the last time I was there and the names are in alphabetical order so easy to find. I would be willing to look up any families you might be looking for which you think are buried in either of these two cemeteries. I will make a copy of the page and mail it to you when I return. Just e-mail me with the names, and I will be glad to look them up for you. Have a great day! Arlene Dunkum Chesterfield, VA

Alene, What a generous offer. I would be interested in anyone with the surname HAND. Thanks Penny in Wa. State [email protected]

Hi- Could someone PLEASE lookup SADOWSKY in South Amboy for me? I really need some help. Thank u, Barbara : )

Thanks so much for your offer to help. Truthfully, I am looking for any Ferguson or Riker name that you can find. Thanks in advance. How are you going to send the results, e-mail, snail mail, ?

I've seen the postal card pictrure of Tier's Pond in Plainfield which appears very plain and without historical significance or any description to inform our modern generations about what was once perhaps Plainfield's most popular place when it was located at Bank Place and East Front Street. In its heyday from 1865 to 1907 it was situated at the front of the 14-room Tier Homestead. In the winters it was crowded with ice skaters, but it reached its zenith during the spring, summers and fall by providing recreation to swimmers and boaters. John H. Tier raised cattle and also owned an abbatoir. He harvested ice from his lake and was the first to offer home delivery of block ice, all by horse and wagon. Mr. Tier was the first in the Plainfield area to make homemade ice cream and it became such a successful business that he built an ice cream pavilion along the bank of the pond. Tier rented row boats and after young men took their sweethearts for a ride on the lake, they retired to the pavilion for a dish of delicious homemade ice cream. He also took orders for home delivery of the ice cream which he sold in bulk for 30-cents per quart. His delivery route became so successful that he added bells to his delivery wagons and sleighs. Children always recognized the approach of his wagons by exclaiming, "here comes the "Hokey Pokey Wagon" as it became to be known. Another building on the same property was for years known as the Clara Louise Tea Room. Water from the dam at Tier's property was used to run French's Mill on Somerset Street. Each time floods ravaged the dam, John Tier and Phineas French sought to repair it. After 1915 the homestead was razed and the pond later filled in. With the introduction of automobiles and the need for additional parking spaces in downtown Plainfield, the site of the former Tier's Pond was acquired and destined to become a m municipal parking lot. This information has been furnished by William Smalley Cadmus, grandson of the late John H. Tier, Jr.

Doesn't look like there's any obvious connection. Thanks for the info anyway!
