OBITUARY
JOSEPH

The sudden death of Joseph Henry,
August 18th, 1920, at the age Of IS,
from acute indigestion at his home in
Carneys Point, removed a useful cit
izen and widely known in Salem coun-
ty. He was a native of Upper Pitts
grove and an active Democrat. He
served as constable, and when he came
to Carneys Point five years ago, he
put on Major Clark's staff as a
private detective and did good work
in f~erreting out crimes and keeping a
line on suspicious characters. After
the war he was made a DUPONT guard.
AS constable and detective he met
many men and "Jovial Joe" was a
door keeper in the State Senate and
when Gov. Fielder came to Carneys
Point he descended from the platform
to greet friend Joe.
The DUPONT guards and friends gave
beautiful floral tributes for the fun
eral. Burial was in the Presbyterian
Cemetery, Daretown, last Saturday.
His widow, who was Ella Evans and
their son Frank, will continue to re-
side in Carneys Point.
