    Sandhills of South Jersey

    Dogg, While on a visit to western NC in late Dec. there was lots of excitement due to the fact a pair of Whooping Cranes were sighted in a small field. They are part of the eastern migratory group (pop. < 60) and mention of their presence was noted in the local news. Location was not disclosed...

    Pieces Of Hampton Park History

    Gabe, I went back today (dressed for the weather) and did quite a bit more exploring on the other side, crossing over and going through to the river. Ted's mention of mills in post #64 is interesting. The "diversion" canal I'd originally seen in the past is connected to another that merges...

    some pretty cool old paper work

    OK....back on topic questions....see post #11 from Scott illustrating fishing and hunting limits. Under fishing it lists Oswego Bass and Calico Bass. Not being terribly familiar with freshwater fish, I don't believe that I've heard of these species. Can anyone elaborate ? Both names are...

    some pretty cool old paper work

    Scott, There was a beautiful farmhouse and land on Elwood Road (marlton/medford border) that was always particularly interesting to me. It adjoined the Benj. Cooper property (Savich Farm) on the old Tuckerton Rd (Main St). The name is familiar to me. I went to school with Ivins'. It's an...

    Lower Bank News 1931

    OK, OK, OK...... "uncle!" However I think the photo was taken at the base of the bridge, looking west/northwest towards the clamhouse. This would have been the property of the Leek's boatyard I believe. During this time period there was boat racing/sailing on the river and the church ladies...

    Lower Bank News 1931

    In the upper right hand corner of the swimming photo is a boy climbing to the top of the "slide". Do I see a windmill under the image of the "slide" and just above his knee?.... If so, than I know the exact location of the photo taken.... just not the folks in it! I plan to have more papers to...

    Guy, nice to see that your investigative work continues to bring you great rewards. When I say rewards, I mean by the way of information, access and photos.....along with answers to the many mysteries of the pines. What a treasure! Good for you...good for us. :) Thanks for sharing.

    Lower Bank News 1931

    Jeff, I know as late as the mid 1960's there were family members still living here and learning to drive in Ford model A vehicles. As proof, there are still parts for them in our garage..... There were also quite a few old pick up trucks here associated with the nursery work. Need parts? Terry

    Lower Bank News 1931

    Gibby, I cannot imagine that length of airship sailing over our neighborhood! It's also amazing to know that the residents here could see the revolving red light from the Tuckerton tower. However, the land was generally cleared in town back then, as folks still farmed and the Nursery was out...

    Lower Bank News 1931

    Hi everyone, I was just "gifted" with a year's worth of local news from Lower Bank (1931). Each evening this week has found me eager to read more about what was happening in the neighborhood 80 years ago. The paper was written by Ella (Johnson) Underhill (see chapters 22-24 in Beck's Jersey...
