Do you know what regiment he was in? If he was in the 8th NJVolunteers, there is a great site on the Virtual Newark page that Glenn Gershiener manages.

I don't know the date but I do know that the Plainfield Library has the newspapers for Plainfield on film from 1865 to 1960......Former Plainfield resident.......John J. Flynn--FLYNN-O'NEIL-O'KEEFE-REILLY-MURPHY-FIELD-ROAN-FLANNIGAN-WARD-WHALLEN-WH ELLAN-DE COURSEY-LOFTUS---1850s----1960s

Does anyone know the exact date of this fire, so the newspaper article can be found? The time of the fire was about 1879....Buildings involved were those of Dr. William VOORHEES and a Mrs. CONKLIN, and took the territory from 110 West Front St. to 140 West Front St. in Plainfield, Union Co., NJ. Occupants of burned buildings were: Dr. William H. VOORHEES, Drug Store. Mrs. CONKLIN, Millinery Store. Richard CORRIELL'S Dry Goods Store and Oliver RUNYON'S Furniture Store. The Gazelle Engine Company No.1 put the fire out. Alice

Hi Ruth, Nice to hear from you. My grandfather "Bernard Flannery" was there for 30 years. His friends called him "Bernie:. He was a foreman when he retired. Any info that you can find would be great. Thanks. I am writing GAF a letter. I will let you know if I get a response. Please let me know if you get any further. That would be funny if your dad's friend "Flannery" was my grandfather.

Hi, Sean, My father was at GAF for @30 years, also, retiring in 1960-61. He had a buddy at work named Flannery. His name was George Oliver and we lived at 624 Lafayette St.in Linden. I haven't the slightest idea where the records would be. They might be with the company who last owned GAF. If you are unable to find out, let me know. My cousin, Frank Brady, retired @1989. He may still be in touch with the union and might know or be able to find out.

Hi Union, Has anyone ever tried to research GAF in Linden? My grandfather worked there for 30 years, retiring in 1966. I wonder if anyone would know about locating employee records? Are they still in Linden? Thanks, Sean Flannery New Jersey USA

Um, no, it always was. It's just that NY people ignored all of the maps and treaties and assumed it was theirs. Typical.

Hello. I posted this awhile back but received no response, so I wonder if perhaps I didn't post it correctly. Anyway... I could use a directory lookup for Elizabeth in 1910. John E. Sullivan etux Honora "Nora". He was a railroad worker. Lived on either Ripley Place or Anna Ave, I don't know which. Can someone help me out? TIA. Lois [email protected]

Anybody have any information on Lt. Joseph CANNON, a veteran of the Civil War, other than the specific incident in which a cannon fired prematurely during an Independance Day celebration in Elizabeth NJ?. -John
