I already am not happy with how it is going. I have to leave them at full size so it will be a large file.

I am not an expert in making pdf files and getting them perfect but I started tonight to sort through the 60 pages to get them in some sort of order. I am planning on adding a page in the beginning on how I acquired them and how the woman who gave them to me acquired them. Does that sound...

Good one John! No. Near 4 mile circle

I see quite a few planes on newer aerials but this is the first one I have viewed on the 1956 aerials.

1/28/1864 The oldest Inhabitant. There is now living at Chetwood, Washington Township, in the county, on the old Martha Furnace property, a man named William Henry Schultz, who was born in Germany, in 1759, and is now 104 years old. He left a vessel in Philadelphia, in 1776, and learned the...

11/19/1931 S. G. Conkling, of the Germanic Fire Insurance Company, of NY, presented to the board, by letter, a claim of the company for $1074.78, which money was paid by the company of Frank S. Ashmead, Jr., of NY, for damage done to his truck on August 25, 1930, when the center of Godfrey...

As in my previous post I still say that diggings on the top of hills are for stone extraction. It was a vibrant and important livelihood in the 1800s and I see deeds all the time mentioning this.

I had all day last Saturday to myself and got sick Friday night and was sick through Sunday. I had an outing planned where I needed to cross a stream. I felt it would be low enough to cross but after this rain that is forecasted I may have to figure out a new way to get there. I was hoping the...

Was out early this morning and it was really foggy in Blackwood and Turnersville. When we left home it was 31 here without fog and my car window was frozen solid. Got home and it was 36.

You are correct. Well done!

It was 21 years ago tomorrow (Thursday) that I met up with Bob and a few other people to visit this location. Where is it? I took this photo and soon after my cell phone rang and my wife told me our water heater had ruptured.

Go to the clerks office in Toms River. The only deeds online in Ocean County only go back a few decades. But first call them and see if they have info that far back.

I would suggest nobody go out until Sunday. I stay clear during the 6 day.

That is where I felt they got their name. I did not know there was an Oniontown Road there. I see it now. They are right at Shamong and Medford as the deed says. Let me investigate this. I see a 7.8 acre lot there and the deed says 7.7.

The topo shows a building there in 1954 and 1960.

Thanks Chris. It could be a club or just trash. Hard to tell. The monument appears to be the corner of Block 10 Lot 11 which is the house property. Not state, so I will most likely pass on going there.

Good one Bob!

As many of you know Henry Beck use to give Pine Barren tours in his later years and my boss who died about 10 years ago went on one. But I never really imagined how many people went on them until now. My mom and I actually knew Maurice Horners daughter and saw him in the field at his house when...

On April 3, 1950 Philip Schaffer sold land to the Five Points Hunting & Fishing Club on Red Onion Road in Shamong. On May 18, 1954 they paid $25 for Atlantic City Electric to place a pole with guy wires on their property in Medford. I don't know where that is but one might assume it is located...
