Thanks for the lead!

Another question, if anybody can help. People were talking about "Jack" Buzby. Is that Willis Jonathan Buzby, son of Willis Jefferson Buzby?

It was open Saturday - fundraiser for Marilyn.

I witnessed someone recite the following epic poem the other day at Buzby's and have tried to transcribe it the best I could, but there were parts I couldn't understand. And many mysteries even among the audible parts. For just one, I don't know if the protagonist is "Old Zeph?" or "Old Zeth?" I...

I'm a lapsed McPheeite, so it's been a few years, but I remember loving the books on geology. They're sold separately---Rising from the Plains, Basin and Range etc.--and together in cinder-block form as The Annals of the Former World. Maybe if you're reading on a Kindle book-girth is less a...

Tanks, dude.

WTF, I had a whole chapter devoted to Whimsy! :)

How is this still a thing...

I'm tempted to say there are no new stories, only new reporters, but this guy wrote the same story this time last year. http://www.app.com/story/news/local.../?hootPostID=bdf55c6c564af017b1a1de62efbb35c4 http://archive.courierpostonline.co...5-years-ago-something-terrorized-South-Jersey

I need to go to the library.

At some point I'd like to see Jerseyman's ranking of early twentieth-century South Jersey historians...

Thanks, Jerseyman, for undertaking that. I'm updating my file. I do think there are some echoes of that writing in the WPA Guide a few years later. In other JD news, the Weird NJ/Paranormal press apparatus has begun its annual peddling of the 1909 terror meme, so if you have your Jersey Devil...

Did anyone figure out what Heston said about Estellville in his wagon jaunt?

Nice. I think I remember a Buddtown and a Bowker's Corners or something too...

Does anyone know if Herbert Halpert mentions Estellville? I guess he would have been writing/doing his fieldwork after Heston, but might be interesting anyway. My shoddy memory tells me he didn't, but I'm not sure...

You gentlemen don't mess around.

According to H.C. Beck (Jersey Genesis) Alfred Heston, writing in 1928, said Estellville was the birthplace of JD. I'm very far from a library with any NJ books and can't find a copy of Alfred Heston's work, so I don't know what he actually said. Also the WPA Guide To 1930s New Jersey (1939)...

I'm genuinely bummed out by this.

I've been trying to listen to your album Jeff, but I'm on vacation somewhere with SLOOOWWW intwebs.

Thanks Ben.
