46er: I think you forgot about the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Generating Station, located in Lusby, Calvert County, Maryland. It is sited on the western shore of the Chesapeake and, like Oyster Creek, does not have any cooling towers. Rather, it discharges its warm water into the bay, making the...

Michael: It appears you enjoy collecting New Jersey Official Road Maps, as I do! Yes, I agree with your timeline for the highway and the article. In fact, the author and artist, Earle Horter, was popular during the early 1930s and had died by 1940. There are 46 hits about him on Google, but I...

Folks: I recently came across this undated and unattributed newspaper clipping about Upper Mill. Since the piece mentions Route S-40, the article has to date to before 1953 and the Grand Renumbering route scheme undertaken by the State Highway Department. I think it was probably published in...

Good alternative, TeeGate. I’m so used to do it my way I didn’t consider posting directly into the message! Best regards, Jerseyman

Mike: Sorry to say, but I don’t see the photographs in your album, so I presume something went wrong. If you want to do so, I can send you my email address via a Private Message and you can send me the photographs and I will put them up for you. The choice is yours, but let me know what you...

I’m here, Mike. Let me know what you need. Best regards, Jerseyman

Ed: In railroad parlance, this piece of hardware is referred to as a rail anchor: As the information on the scan states, these are manufactured from spring steel and work to eliminate creepage of track. That is, the rail anchor are intended to transmit static and dynamic longitudinal...

Folks: I know I posted the first view before, but I recently acquired a companion card, so I thought you would be interested in seeing the two post cards together: My wish for you all is the Merriest Christmas and the Happiest New Year ever! Best regards, Jerseyman

Now that we’ve got you logged in correctly, let’s get your photograph uploaded. Go to your last message in this thread and click on “damkayaker’s Gallery.” You will be taken to your photo gallery, where up in the upper right-hand corner, you will find the words “upload photos,” which you can...

When you first log on to the site with your username and password. So, I suggest you log off and then log on again after you have clicked on the little “Remember Me?” box next to where you enter your username. Best regards, Jerseyman

damkayaker: When you log in to the forums, if you check the little box that says “remember me?” you will not be logged off or kicked off. I encountered that problem sometime ago, but TeeGate straighten me out on the proper procedure. Best regards, Jerseyman

NOTE: Apparently Pine Baron’s original posting about the spelling of the name “Russel” disappeared during a server hiccup while I was attempting to provide him with an answer. You will find my response below: John: Misspellings in names are commonplace. Earlier this year I assembled a...

rjb: Thanks for this information. I forgot about the obits at the findagrave website, so I’m glad you checked it out! Best regards, Jerseyman

gipsie: I do not know the meaning of the sign, but a quick check of the Social Security death index using the birth and death years as delimiters reveals the identity of three potential men for whom someone created this memorial: Donald A. Russell—born 11 November 1926; died in Barnegat...

mudboy dave: Sorry for the tardy response to your query, but I have not posted for a several weeks. Regarding the company for which you seek information, Jacob Steinmetz Thorn, born on 1 August 1836, began his business career as a clerk for the iron merchant firm of Martin and Smith in 1855...

Geez Louise, Folks—I attempted to post a reply to the foreign message and I find that someone deleted it while I worked to compose my response! Amazing!! :confused: In any case, for what it’s worth, here is what Google did with a translation of this cyrillic message: Track ra Rebet …...

Pine Baron: You did a great job assembling your “Then and Now” sets of images! I find post cards a wonderful visual way to enjoy local history; the variety of images are endless! I have been collecting post cards for over 35 years and I never grow tired of looking through other collections or...

Jeff: You really stumbled into a great collection of books! I love finding deals like yours in Chatsworth. The Four Mile Colony volume is in absolutely beautiful condition, based on its coverboards. The Lloyd Griscom piece on Burlington County is nice summary history of the county, but don’t...

A fascinating and rare find in the Pines! Note how someone during the early part of the twentieth century has blanked a door and window in the image above using a concretion of stone and cement. The results of this work provides an unusual appearance, but it is readily visible and probably has...
