1865. This property is a part of the orig
lnal patentee grant to the Murray fami-
ly in 1866. They held the property until
about 30 years ago, when it was pnr-
chased by the late Charles Coudert. At
his demise, it passed into the hands Of
the Greenwoods. James Drum, who
died in 1899 at the age of 103 years, had
been slave in the Murray family In
1918 he was narrowing IN q field back OF
the house, when Captain Joseph Muir
ray of General Dearborn's came out of
the woods on the north side of the field,
having returned from the Canadian bor-
der to visit his wife and children,
AS he was talking to Drum, he was
shot dead by British spy, who had
been following him. The aged negro Of
ten related this event. The house was
used as temporary headquarters by the
British generals, Clinton and Cornwall

The other tract of land is CARROTS

the Hopping family since 1852 until a
few months ago, when Walter K Hop

Gated to Victor A panell The latter has

Shrewsbury Bridge
Now Open

Even the weather man smiled FRI
day upon the opening of the new
highway bridge across the North
Shrewsbury river at Red Bank for it
was truly a happy joyous occasion, or
accidents or by any friction, and tinged
with that holiday carnival spirit of eel
ebration which guarantees the success
of any undertaking.
The bridge itself presented a gay and
festive appearance, festoons of colored
lights and fiuttering bunting making a
picture at once attractive and men,
morable. Thousands of people lined the
sidewalks and stood in the vicinity of
the bridge late in the afternoon to
watch the parade which officially
opened the bridge to the public, and
cheered the officials and the uniformed
organizations which made up the line of
marchers.
But gay as was that picture during
the late afternoon, if could not compare
with the spectacle presented during the
evening when, in the colored rays of the
IL arc hes of electric lights, and fitfully
Illuminated with flashing rockets and
fireworks, hundreds of celebrants mill
ed about on the structure while bands
played for dancing Confetti fiuttered
thru the air and found Judgement in
clothes and hair as the laughing crowd
entered into the true spirit of Mardi
Gras.
