Now I must ask your indulgence, as I have for the hundredth time reread the "Adventure of Aserdaten" chapter in Henry Beck's "Jersey Genesis." I am looking for clues to help in my explorations of the remote and lonely area the town resided in. In doing so I decided to extend my search to find out about one of the individuals mentioned in the chapter that was Beck at his finest. That individual is Ned Knox, AKA Edward P. Knox, the bicycle artist of the New Jersey pines who became good friends with Henry Beck.
As far as I can tell Ned Knox lived with his sister Gertrude at 32 Snyder Ave in Tom's River NJ pretty much directly in downtown Tom's River. It is unfortunate that looking over Google Maps his home apparently is no longer there, removed to make way for the paved parking lot that is so many individuals worst nightmare.
He considered himself exactly as Beck described him, a landscape artist.
