Money Island</title</head> <body bgcolor="black" text="white" link="yellow" vlink="lime"> <center><font size=9 color="red">Money Island</font></center> Money Island is now a section of Toms River Township (formerly Dover Township), but before the various villages in Dover township grew so big that they ran into one another and became one big town, there were a number of 'unincorporated' places in the township. Money Island is one of those, down at the far East end of Washington Street, near the Cranmoor development that stands there now. <p> <center><img src="MoneyIsland01.bmp"></center> <p> Here are some news items taken from the <i>New Jersey Courier</i> newspaper concerning the residents of Money Island--it appears that the majority of the community was seasonal, with a lot of people coming to stay in small cottages for the summer and then returning, often to Philadelphia, for the rest of the year: <p> <table border=2> <tr><td><b>16 Oct 1916</b><br> Money island Mrs. James. J. Gigans and children closed their cottage on the river front on Thursday and went home to Philadelphia for the winter. <br> the schools opening in Philadelphia has closed up most of the cottages and leaves only a few occupied.<br> Mrs. G.

Mrs. henry has had her mother stopping with her for the last month.<br> Mrs. M.

Schneider came down last week to spend a few weeks at her cottage on the river front.<br> The Belle G., owned by Leon T. Siefert, took a party on Sunday down the bay fishing. While not an abundance of fish was noted, they had lots of sport. Among the party was the owner and wife and daughter, Theo. F. Siefert, Mrs. Clara Gassner, Dr. W. Martin and wife, Miss Lione Henderson, Thos. C. Leonards, J.B. Henly, Ben Lloyd, and the fireless cooker. As it was somewhat breezy the fireless cooker came in handy. </td></tr> </table> <p> <br><br><br> <P> Below are some of the families living in this section of the township in 1930:<br> WASHINGTON STREET<BR> John C.
