Jeff, Behind the library were what appeared to be cellar holes with no debris. They were about 8 by 10 feet if my memory is correct. I'll check them out if I make it to the library this weekend. Behind Deborah I saw the partial foundation. I seemed to be the entranceway into the house and there...

Thanks Mark, Does anyone know when cinderblocks started to be used? Or when re-bar was introduced. I have noticed when an area is excavated on some construction sites in Philly they dig up old bricks that are rectangular blocks that are solid, they don't have holes like the new bricks being put...

Perhaps some type of fusible link/circuit breaker used on home powerlines. To protect from an overload at a transformer.

My former neighbors family homestead was a blueberry farm a couple miles down the railroad from there. They had a large assortment of dogs including hounds that were kept in a pen and a bunch of mutts and strays that roamed freely. Whenever a vehicle came down the road the mutts would start...

I work in Philly and could see the smoke as I was driving home down Rt. 38. By the time I got into Browns Mills the smoke was hanging around ground level. Just one whiff and you can tell it's pines burning.

I was in the old H.S. for 9/10th grade and the new H.S. for 11/12th grade. Were you at the school when Benjy Clayton rode his Harley through the school? How about when Mr. Reed was thrown through the glass doors? My street runs from the lake, across E. Lakeshore and stops at Hanover Blvd. I had...

Jerseyman, I read a copy of Runaway at the Pemberton Twp. library last week. I made notes of a couple things mentioned. One story about visiting Lower Mill and how grumpy the sawyer was. Also that the mill operated until the dam broke in 1921 and by 1955 there was practically no trace left. In...

The Sassafras tree in Mt. Laurel is also the second largest in the country. The largest is in Owensboro,Ky. and is 21' around. In 1957 it was slated to be removed for a highway widening project but the woman who owned the property held off the bulldozers with a shotgun andit was saved!

I took a walk behind the Pemberton Twp. Library today. ( The Ongs Run flows right behind there) Directly behind the library is what seems to be a cellar hole and not too far away is another. Farther back in the woods, right behind Deborah Hospital I found rubble and a partial foundation. What...

I've driven by that spot on many trips to Atco Speedway.Didn't Ricks become Branco's Pizza for a short time?

Paisley patches!! Did you wear them to an Iron Butterfly concert? Or maybe hanging out at Haight Ashbury!I graduated from P.T.H.S. in 1979 we were wearing jeans,concert t's and flannels. Were you still in P.L. during high school?

Did it have a secret pocket for your stash?:ninja:

Joe Namath also wore pantyhose! Seriously though having something come to you right out of the blue is great. Just like Christmas in April:mrgreen:

Didn't Joe Namath wear Dingo boots?

Jerseyman, Is there a reference book telling about historic homes in the area. I worked on/visited some older houses and was interested in the history they were involved with. Also the town near Maryanne Forge called Greenwood mentioned in Judy Olsen's book.

Is it possible he's been taking trips through the Ong's Hat Vortex?:mrgreen:

No fence,no gate and I'm going in.

I have seedlings for sale! They're currently growing on some prime swampland I bought in Florida!

Thanks Jerseyman,Do you have any more suggestions for the Little Pine area? Following some of your info I have found some areas in the woods here (Pictures in my gallery).

There was a story in The Sandpaper from L.B.I. about the 7 ft. skeletons found in the Tuckerton area and after a lot of research they turned out to be skeletons from buried Vikings. Apparently the Vikings were a very tall people.
