Does anyone know the name of this road before Carranza crashed?
Does anyone know of pictures of the plane wreck and details? What I find on the web is just standard boiler plate American Legion stuff.

I think it was called tabernacle-friendship rd. and after carranza crashed people just started calling it carranza rd. and it stuck. I remember reading an article about it not to long ago, just can't remember where. I may be wrong.

Ed:

Where Carranza Road leaves Route 206 at Oakshade, its official name is “Red Lion Road” until you arrive in the center of Tabernacle. Continuing south out of Tabernacle, the official name for Carranza Road is “Hampton Gate Road.”

Ed,

In 2002 when at the memorial service, they had newspaper articles hanging up from the days after the crash. There was no photo's of the plane and I have never viewed any. However, I did take photo of the articles and you can read many of them. So if you are interested I will post them.

I looked them over and most of them are not good enough to read; however, if you have good eyes you can get some info from them. I placed them on my webspace and not here on this site, so eventually they will be removed. It is interesting to note that back then if you deserted your husband and moved in with another man, it is best that neither one of you should admit to finding a famous person body and take a reward for doing so, and then spending it like it was water.

Thanks Guy and 46r, that was helpful. Everytime I walk through the site of the crash I try to envision what occured there but there is so little information available. You would think someone would have written a book.

Guy, I believe the Justice of the Peace would be Warner Hargrove who accompanied Father Beck on several of his journeys around the Pemberton Twp. area.

No, the Justice of the Peace's name was Hargrave not Hargrove.

There have been a couple of small documentaries done, that link has the most info I could find. You might want to attend the memorial, its been held the second Saturday of July at the monument, but best to verify that.

Guy, Hargrave must have been a typo. I just googled M. Warner Hargrove and among his many duties in town was Justice of the Peace. He was also the Postmaster, Fire warden, General Store owner, Snake Dealer, Founding Member of the Browns Mills Fire Co. and made an unsuccesful run for the State Senate. Basically a very busy man!

I see! He was busy then. BTW, I am always wondering if the Warner Hargrove demolition company is related to him?

More on Warner Hargrove.


Death: December 1920. A sad death which has caused sorrow among a wide circle of friends was that of Lyndon H. Hargrove, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Warner Hargrove , of Brown's Mills. The young man was married shortly after he returned from the service at the end of the war and brought his bride to an attractive home at Brown's Mills. He was clerk of Penberton township and was associated with his father in his various business enterprises. He was 24 years old.


Death: HARGROVE - November 23, 1931 in Pemberton, M. Warner Hargrove, aged 58.


It is intererting that he died in 1931 when that was around the time Beck started his pine barren exploring. It would have to have been one of his early jaunts for hargrove to have been with him.

I just found a picture of him in "Forgotten Towns" and Beck refers to him as the late Warner Hargrove. I also found that he wrote an autobiography that was never published. What are the odds that a transscript still exists?
