The son of a Civil War soldier who told many stories handed down by his father be treasured keepsakes used during the war. Among his early recollections In watching the changing scene in New Jersey are of trips taken with his father by horse and wagon from Wanaque to Pate son when there was a toll gate costing five cents to let into Paterson. He also told of overnight trips to Newark by oxen and wagon haulling charcoal and of the first hard road he saw, formerly Hamburg Ave., now known as West Broadway.



The Blizzard of 1888, when he had t tunnel to the barns to care for the cattle, the old Hook Hook Rd. and Millers Falls which were popular picnic grounds before the construction of the Wanaque Reservoir, were all part of his reflections spun for family and friends.
