TEN WIDOWS IN ONE FAMILY,
Whose Combined Ages Amount to
sos Years.


sos Years.
Throughout Hunterdon, Morris.
Warren and Somerset counties there
are many descendants Of the Neigh
bour family, whom 1705, including APP
gars, Hoffmans, Farleys, Lindaburys,
left their native home in Saxony, 9 be-
tween Wolfenbottle and Halberstadt, !"
fleeing from oppression, and in 17O7
sailed from Holland to America, in
tending to land at New Amsterdam.
By adverse winds, however, they were
driven south, and entered Delaware
Bay and landed in Philadelphia.
With determination not to relin-
Gpish their original purposet join
the Dutch at New Amsterdam They

radius of six miles of Califon.
George Neighbour, the head of the
family, married Miss Elizabeth RAJ
rick, the daughter of prominent
citizen of German Valley. Although
the exact date ofithe marriage is UNI
known, it is believed to have occurred
about the year 1910. Ten children,
five sons and fiyst daughters, resulted
from the union. 51All grew to maturity
and married in the foremost families
of North Hunterdon and West Morris
Counties.
A singular circumstances is that all
the sons and sons-in-law have died,
leaving ten widows. Mr.. Neighbour

five years ago.

DIR. WIeHT, State Commissioner of
Charities and Corrections made a good
suggestion to the State Federation of
Labor in session at Trenton this
week. He said he thought that the
work done by convicts should go to-
ward the support Of their families.
He urged that the federation endeavor
to secure legislation IN this matter.
He denied that the agreement be-
tween the federation and the State
Prison authorities providing that not
more than 100 men shall be employed
in any one industry was being violated.
The prison committee reported that
it had made an investigation and had
found that the agreement that not
more thanlOO conyicts should be semr
ployed In any one industry, was not
being Violated, as the largest number
of prisoners employed in any one de-
partment was ninety mine.
