W0odstOwn in 1881.
From a map kindly loaned us by NJ. d,
Dickinson,' Esq, we are enabled to give
our readers al idea of Woodstown as it
was in 1881, fifty-four years ago. The
map was drawn several years ago by Mr..
Dickinson from his recollection of the tow
and its inhabitants at the date mentioned.
In Woodstown. not including Baileytown,
there were at that time not more than sixty
dwellings,. The streets were the present
Main street, Auburn street or ''Sculltown
road Elm street or pole Tavern road,
Marlton street or s'Sharptown'i road,
Bullet Lane, Salem road, Mill street and
the roads around the mill pond as they
now lie. Above the present railroad
bridge there was but one house, that of C..
Hubs. which is still standing. Between
that point and Elm street, on the easterly
side, was the tannery property and a dwell
ing, and on the other side the residences OF
j. Barnes, (tle present Borton property
J. Nixon, J. Davis and the blacksmith
shops and dwelling of u Coles, (now
Sheppard Taylor's). On the Sculltown
road was the residence of John Haines on
the site of the present dwelling of his son.,
L. C.. Haines. On the corner now oc-
cupied by Samuel Borton, lived VIM. Ped

was the residence of William White and
next below was the red house still stand
ing and then occupied by d. Bacon, and
