IRONS, JOHN T. from the New Jersey Courier 21 Apr 1892 John T. Irons, son of Edward Irons, of Silverton, and brother to wheelwright Frank Irons of Toms River, was an unmarried man of about 44 years, who lived with his parents. He had had long experience as a bayman, in yachting, fishing, oystering, clamming, etc. and was an expert boatman. On Monday afternoon he left Chadwicks, whither he had gone to purchase various supplies and started for home. His boat was seen by his father to round up and anchor in the cove at the mouth of Kettle Creek at about sunset, his father's residence being on Green Island, near the bay. As Irons often lived on board of his craft for weeks at a time,his not coming ashore excited no comment. Indeed his father did not particularly notice that it was his boat until the events of the next day. He evidently got his sail boat in condition for leaving and started to row ashore in the tender. How he fell overboard, and why he did not reach shore in the comparatively shallow water is a mystery that will never be solved. On Tuesday morning at about 11 o'clock, John Gant a fisherman, found the body upright in the creek; one foot stuck in the mud; the head fallen forward so that thte face was covered, but the top of the head and shoulders were out of the water, which was hardly five feet deep. He was taken ashore, but of course nothing could be done to revive him. Coroner D.O. Parker was summoned from Toms River. He viewed the body , heard the testimony of the various witnesses as to the few known facts in the case, and as there could be no doubt gave a certificate of death from 'accidental drowning'. The spot where the body was found was easily in sight of his home, and but a few rods from the usual landing place. The deceased was well known in this locality where he had spent his entire life. He was a member of Manhassett Tribe, I.O.R.M. Funeral services will be held at Silverton M.E. Church on Friday afternoon, 22d inst., at 2 o'clock.

LEWIS, DAVID CHAMBERS from the Trenton Evening Times, 5 Jun 1913 LEWIS, PROMINENT IN MANY WAYS, IS DEAD Cranbury Man Was "Forty-Niner" and Long Active in Masonic, Religious and Other Circles. Special to the Times. CRANBURY, June 5. - David Chambers Lewis, Cranbury's oldest resident, passed away at his home here last night, aged 88 years. Always active and energetic Mr. Lewis was noted for his systematic regularity of life, and was seldom ill even for a day until he was stricken on Monday, May 26. In matters of religious, social, political and civic, Mr. Lewis took an active part. He was an elder of the Second Presbyterian Church and was always present at the Sunday and mid-week services. He was a member of the Masonic Fraternity, being a past master and a charter member of Apollo Lodge, No. 156, (may be 136) F. & A. M., of Cranbury, instituted in 1885. At a special meeting of the lodge in April 1905, a handsome crayon portrait of Mr. Lewis was unveiled, which has been procured without his knowledge. He was the grand representative of the M.W. Grand Lodge of Western Australia to the M.W. Grand Lodge of the Jurisdictiours of New Jersey. He was for sixty years a member of the I.O.O.F. and represented the Grand Lodge at the institution of the first I.O.O.F. lodge in San Francisco. In politics, Mr. Lewis was a Republican of the most ardent type and had filled a number of local offices. He was a director of the First National Bank of Cranbury and a member of the Village Improvement Society. Mr. Lewis was well-informed and progressive in every way and his opinions were always worthy of consideration. Mr. Lewis had lived in various parts of the United States, including California, Chicago and a number of Jersey towns. His middle life was spent on a farm near town. Some years ago he retired from active business and lived along Brainerd Lake, on the place where he was born, but a new house has replaced the structure where his father carried on a shoe business. In August, 1853, Mr. Lewis married Miss Rose Stonaker, who survives him. She is in her eighty-sixty year. December 22, 1904, the couple were given a surprise by a party of relatives and friends, in honor of their two birthdays. One son, Cloero (name not clear, may be Cicero or something else) survives. There are five grandchildren: Mrs. F.S. Davis, Jr., of East Orange, Mrs. Fred Maple and Miss. Clementine Lewis of Trenton, Miss Hattie Lewis and David C. Lewis, Jr., of this place. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Reuben Tooker of East Orange. WAS A FORTY-NINER One of the most exciting experiences in the life of Mr. Lewis was when, as a "Forty-Niner" he joined the army of gold-seekers in California, and following are extracts from his diary kept at that time: "In 1848 the firm of Chambers & Heiser, dry goods house of Liberty Street, New York, learned authoritatively of the wonderful discovery of gold in California, and fitted out a vessel with a cargo of goods for a store to be opened by two young men in San Francisco, Cal. These goods were shipped by the brig Belfast. At that time I was working in the railroad shops at Bordentown. The New York firm sent my brother, C.H. Lewis, to Bordentown to see if I would go to California. I sailed from New York, February 5, 1849, by the steamer Cresent City for the Isthmus of Panama. We reached Chagres after a pleasant voyage and were landed by small boats at Gorgona, where we waited for several days before we could be transported to Panama by pack animals. While in Panama, the brig! Belfast came into port and I secured passage on that, arriving at San Francisco April 1, 1849. Mr. Lewis remained only a few years in California. His brother, C.H. Lewis, made his home in Portland, Oregon, and became one of the very wealthy residents of that state. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon from his late home at 2 o'clock. The services will be conducted by the Rev. Adolos S. Allen, of the Second Presbyterian Church; the Rev. J.E. Curry, of the First Presbyterian Church, Cranbury, and the Rev. Joseph S.

PAGE, HANNAH from the New Jersey Mirror 9 Dec 1830 At Tuckerton, on December 1, 1830, Hannah Page, aged 6 years, daughter of Dr. Thomas Page.

PALMER, STERNE from the New Jersey Mirror 28 Dec 1854: DIED, in this Town, on Friday last, of Typhoid Fever, STERNE PALMER, son of Mrs. J. Palmer, Publisher of this paper, aged 59 years. Mr. Palmer was greatly loved by his large circle of friends, and during his long residence in Mount Holly, enjoyed, fully, the confidence and respect of the entire community. Having been Clerk in the Farmers' Bank for nearly thirty years, he became acquainted with the great mass of the people of the County, and those who were familiar with him in the daily business transactions of that Institution, know with what singularly uniform correctness and assiduity all his duties were performed. Such a man could not fail to be appreciated by those with whom he associated.-- Modest and unassuming to a remarkable degree, of social and domestic habits, strictly guarded in his conversation, avoiding saying anything which was calculated to offend, dealing justly with his fellow-men, and at all times acting upon the principles of the Golden Rule--he was truly and emphatically a "pattern-man," and the world would be far better, almost a Paradise, were his general disposition and deportment studied and imitated. We knew him long and intimately, and in this tribute to his memory, our feelings are such that we cannot refrain from saying: "We honored him, LOVED HIM, for his sincerity and kindness of heart, his nobleness of purpose, and the many virtues and really excellent traits of character which adorned and dignified his nature." His illness was short and unusually severe, but amid all the pangs of the fever, his rational moments gave the same evidence of his trust in that Higher Power which had marked his correct and useful life--and gives us the happy assurance that he has received a rich reward, an unfading inheritance, in the bright mansions of the eternal world. The great loss to his family, aged mother, sister and brothers, can only be known and felt by them--but while bowed down with the heavy affliction, they calmly submit to the unalterable laws and purposes of a just and all-wise God, believing that it is best for the son and brother, husband and father, to depart and be at rest and enjoy the smiles and favor of his Maker in Heaven--and as they commit his body to the tomb and return to their desolate homes, they feel that in the darkness which surrounds them, God will bring a light--and in the silence of their unutterable grief, His voice will be heard in words of comfort.

WARREN, JUDSON from the New Egypt Press 4 March 1910 Judson Warren, 46 years old, residing with his sister and brother, Harry Warren, at Bordentown, committed suicide at his home on Sunday. He went into the cellar, tied a rope around his neck, fastened it to the coalbin, after which he took a razor and slashed his throat, severing the windpipe, and cut his wrists. He was found by his brother, who had gone to the cellar to fix the fire in the heater. Harry Pippitt was called in and cut him down. Warren's sister, who is ill, had been waited upon by him, and besides had been out of work for some months, which is thought to have prompted him to commit the deed.

WRIGHT, MARY A. From the Trenton Times,2 Feb 1906 FIFTY-EIGHT YEARS AS S.S. TEACHER Burlington Woman Honored by Reception at First Baptist Burlington, Feb 2. - A reception was given here last night in honor of Mrs. Mary A. Wright, who for more than fifty-eight years has been a teacher in the First Baptist Sunday School, of this city. The reception was held in the First Baptist Church and was attended by the members of Mrs. Wright's Bible class and the officers and teachers of the Sunday school. Mrs. Wright has a remarkable record as a Sunday school worker. She first joined the Sunday school when a child, 8 years of age, and when 16 years old she became a teacher. Mrs. Wright's first class was composed of half a dozen small girls and the membership of the school was then scarcely 200. Her class now has a membership of 50 and the enrollment of the entire school numbers 600. Despite her years, Mrs. Wright is one of the most faithful teachers in the school, and this winter she has not been absent a single Sunday from her place in the class. After so many years spent in the study of the Bible one might suppose it would grow old and uninteresting, but every time I read it I find something new that I had never thought of before. When I started as a Sunday school teacher I little thought that I would spend so long a time in the work, but had I my life to live over again I would still teach a Bible class. Mrs. Wright comes of a family many of the members of which were distinguished for their active interest in Bible teaching. Her father was a minister and her mother, Mrs. Sarah Allen, was one of the first teachers in the Baptist Sunday school of which Mrs. Wright is now a member, when it was organized here in 1825. Her husband, the late Noah E. Wright, was also a veteran Sunday school worker and for forty years he labored in the same school with his wife, first as teacher and later as superintendent. Many persons attended the reception given in the church last night. A pleasing musical and literary entertainment was given early in the evening and later a collation was served.
