Where the Name
Bartholomew Started

Some Ocean county Applegates have
asked us where the name Bartholomew
Apologize came from. 1t is undoubtab-
ly pure English and q given name.
Beatty, Batson and Betson are all de-
velopments of the given name OF Bar
tholomew, name of sound and unusu-
al spelling OF which just naturally lent
itself to violent variations from the
original form. particularly when it is
remembered that in the Middle Ages the
individual writer came pretty near to
spelling as he pleased.
As given name Bartholomew ls OF
Hebrew origin. like other Biblical
names it was widespread in medieval
England. Where the Anglo-Saxon trend
toward short forms of Names however,
brought it down to the popular form OF
Bat"
As the family names developed from it
it took the various forms OF Batson,"
"Beatson, " "Bateson," "Beatyson, etc.
The dropping of the ending son"
from "Beattyson" left Beatty or Beatty
and "Bateson" minus the "on" became
Bates. The variation Betson is due I'M
doubtably to a change in spelling after
it had become family name. Were It
not for the fact that the woman'S name
Betty" is a comparatively modern
derivation from Elizabeth, and did not
take place until after the period in
which family names were formed, there
might be grounds for the belief that
in some instances at least Betson is
is development Of "Betty's son"
1t is interesting to note some OF the
variations OF the given name Of Barthol-
omew, for the show the widest dissim-
ilarity ii form. In German appear the
forms, Bartold and Mewes; in Bavarian
are Bartelme, Wawel, Wabel and
Wabm; in Russian, Vartolomei; in Llth-
uania, Baltromeius and in Illyrian,
Vratolomije, all Of them forms which
few persons in this country would think
of connecting with Bartholomew.

Sheriff Johnson
Elected by Republicans

Editor Bobbitt in the Monmouth
Republican Of Long Branch, thus
tersely sums up Mr.. Johnson's great
victory as Sheriff
disappointment of William r.
O'Brien as Chief Clerk in the Sheriff
Office sin the interest Of efficiency by
the new Sheriff makes popular hit.
1t is a fine recognition Of merit in one
Of the opposite party.
Sheriff Johnson's appointment Of
John A. Butter, of Ocean Grove, who
was candidate for Freebooter and ran
well in Asbury Park and vicinity, will
be a popular one, particularly in view
Of the fact that MIR. Butler sacrificed his
was only fair in the circumstances that
he have consideration. And from all
reports, he is extremely competent.
The new Sheriff has wonderful OPP
portunity His great personal strength
calls for him to assume leadership in his
party's affairs, Of which their has been
practically none in Monmouth, and
build up an organization which will
count. The voters have shown they
have confidence in him, he has ability
tuU q C1St1A 10COA0s as ~DOg1 OA1ClhA clA
man. He is the Democratic ace of
Monmouth.
1t is interesting to note that 1858
Monmouth voters who voted for Sheriff
failed to express any preference for Con-
gress though the candidates for Congress
were at the head of the ticket, whi lie
654 of them failed to vote for Senator.
Sheriff Harry N Johnson's record
breaking majority Of II, 722 was mag
nificent personal tribute to him. but it
was no Democratic party victory except
incidentally. Otherwise all Of the rest Of
the Democrats on the ticket would not
have been defeated by majoriti es
ranging from 9,740 down to 1863.
or course the Khan was big issue in
the Shrievalty fight, but it would be
interesting to know how many Repub-
licans voted against Bruno because
they were afraid that his election might
interfere with them getting drink
when they wanted it.
1t has again been demonstrated that
as the men vote so do the women. Mr..
Bruno counted upon women's votes.
He made special appeal to them in
letters 1t was wasted energy. The great
mass of woman are as disgustedl with
prohibition today as are the men.

Local Gunners Find
Body of Man

A party Of local hunters in the woods
at Outcault, near Spottswood, discover.
ed the body of Joseph Hamer, 81, miss
ing from his home in Spottswood since
Aug. 3. The party included Police Ser.
geant Clarence Mooney, Umberto
Grieco and DR. Otto Newbert of Ocean
Grove They were, accompanied on the
hunt by Asa Erickson
Grieco had shot an owl and the party
rushed forward to pick up the bird
Peering thru the underbrush they saw
skull and Erickson, who knows the
country very well surmised that the
party had stumbled upon the body
the of the missing man. He look ed about
for pail which the octogenarian carried
when he left on his berry ing expedition.
Searching little farther ne found the
mans shoes, and then under a pile of
leaves, discovered the body 10 feet
from the head.
The Hamer family was notified at
once, as was County Physician John l..
Suydam.
When the 87-year-old Imam failed to
return from days berrying early last
August the community of Spottswood
became alarmed, and searching expedi-
tions were sent thru the neighboring
woods to hunt for him. Posses were or
gained, which beat thru the brush and
even the Boy Scouts lent their aid ia a
vain attempt to locate the old man
Manalapan brook was dragged, but no
traces found, and finally the search " as
given up.
It was believed at the time that Mr..
Hamer might have suffered sunstroke,
and fallen in the woods, and this was APP
parently what occurred, from the posi-
ton in which the body was found.
A reward of $500 was offered by the
board of freeholders when he failed to
return and the Elks offered similar
amount.
