Cedar Crest, 1920
Cedar Crest, 1920

It's not entirely clear where the 'Cedar Crest' portion of the Lacey census starts; on one page, the enumerator wrote "Lacey and Cedar Crest", and then on the following pages merely wrote "Cedar Crest". I have restricted this portion to those pages which are definitively labelled as Cedar Crest.
Some of the families which appear here have more detailed descriptions of them in the footnotes to the 1930 census.

Jackson Britton: He lived in Lacey Township, though not necessarily at Cedar Crest/ Bamber, as early as 1900. Jackson was born Fe b 1872; his wife in July 1892. At that time, they had been married for two years and had one daughter, Delila, born Nov 1898. I don't see any other common Cedar Crest names near his on the census; and the presence of people with clearly coastal occupations such as 'bayman' nearby would seem to indicate he lived more in the Eastern portion of the township at that time. In 1910, Jackson and Sarah lived on Lacey Road, where Jackson was a manager at a lumber mill. Daugher "Lila" and son Edward, age 6, were also there.
Henry Britton: It's not known how, if at all, he is related to the family of Jackson Britton. In 1910, he was living on Lacey Road--this road today runs right into the heart of Cedar Crest, but it also runs the length of the township, so there's no way to know for certain if he was at Cedar Crest. However, he lived next door to Jackson Britton in 1910--so it's likely that he was in, or near, Cedar Crest in 1910. Henry was 27 in 1910, and worked as a laborer at the lumber mill. His wife, Annie, was 22, and the couple had been married for four years. Annie had given birth twice but only had one surviving child-- Elwood Britton, 1 year old.

Ralph Cummings: In 1900, there is a Ralph and Phoebe Cummings living up in Manchester Township. The ages are off, so I'm not certain if it's the same couple, but I haven't been able to find these people anywhere else. In 1900, Ralph gave his birth date as Aug 1871; Phoebe, Dec 1877. They had two children-in-law as well living with them: Samuel Anderson, age 18, and Clara B. Anderson, age 14, living with them in 1900.

John Nichols: He and his wife, Ann, were both born in Poland, and they came to the US in 1880. They were naturalized citizens as of 1890.

Walter Pruchtusky: He and his wife were both born in Poland, and in 1920 were still aliens. They immigrated to the United States in 1910.

Joel Ridgeway was living in Barnegat, on Collinstown Road, in 1910. He worked as a member of the Life Saving Service at that time. His wife's name appears as "Wilmina" for some reason, but children Viola and Joel, Jr were both in the home in 1910.

Andrew Roller: Both of his parents were born in Germany, and although he was born in NJ, his primary language was given as German. The same is true of his wife, Emma.

Edward Weimar: A look back at the news section of the main Cedar Crest page shows quite a few references to Mr. Weimar's comings and goings from New York, indicating that he only spent a part of his year here, and frequently returned to his home in New York. Edward spoke German as his primary language, as that is where his parents were born.
