However, if I come across items pertaining to this town that are not already covered on that site, I will post them here. Such as this item, from the New Jersey Mirror on 28 Sep 1938:
Anthony Rose, 40, a Portuguese, employed at Whitesbog, died in the Camp Dix Hospital on Sunday from a dose of poison taken to end his life. It is reported that he was despondent because of the estrangement of his wife. Troopers from Columbus barracks, passing through the bogs, discovered Rose when they made a search of his house, after seeing a number of persons gathered outside. Rose was found unconscious on his bed. Two bottles that had contained poison were found on the floor. The man died soon after being admitted to the hospital. Coroner John N. Swartz, of Palmyra, issued a certificate of suicide.
