I just bought a boat journal and I blieve it might be from Nelson Holloway who passed away recently--maybe in Green Bank near the River. Any information would be appreciated. He may have been in his early nineties when he passed.

Don't remember that but certainly extra dark cedar water. Also the well water at my grandfather's house nearby had a strong sulfur smell--so nasty.

Antonio Tassone is buried at Oak Grove across the street from the Ideal Clothing store and near the Hammonton High School on the White Horse Pike.

Ok, so I have this dish with a painting of the Atsion Hotel. So I really didn't know if it is the house where my father, Lewis J. Tassone was born. And I have this one of my father at the Atsion Lake, probably from the fifties.

It is only within the last year that my uncle stopped living there. My cousin has posted here and I was hoping that she would be able to answer that. Maybe I will take a ride to see if it is still there.

Today I am divulging just about everything I remember about the area. I posted a lengthy one in General Discussions but maybe it would have been better placed the legends and lore one. Ok I just wanted to say the in the summer back in the fifties we often visited Atsion Lake to swim. My father...

Thank you, but I did not miss out on the good food on the other side of my Italian family. I grew up in Hammonton where there are so many Italians that when I left I felt like an alien venturing out into a new world.

My father, Lewis J. Tassone used to take us on little walk-arounds at Atsion and it was there where I first saw a natural spring.

I am hoping someone will remember Elsie Ford from somewhere near Atsion. My father was friendly with her. I remember her to be an engaging personality. She had curly blonde hair, wore manly clothes and rode a motorcycle in the fifties. She often stopped over to our house in Hammonton and...

Well, I am not following this story so well, but I will add that my grandfather Antonio Tassone did have cranberries and blueberries out on East Stokes Road. I remember the Lemunyons, the Gibersons and the Wells family names from that area. There is one cousin of mine left that actually would...

I do not know where to post this but if this Mr. Etheridge died around 1956, it might be the man that my father, Lewis J. Tassone, often spoke about and he took my young sister to see the man when he was on his death bed there in Atsion.

I need to learn more details about my father's family. I am at an age where I realize when people pass away they take away the stories they could have told us. I am eager to know the little details. Here is my blog: http://sixty-fourandcounting-philly.blogspot.com/

My grandfather, too, cousin Marlene, hello
