Founded in 1920
Llewllyn Park is part of West
Orange, which was originally part
Of Orange, a town founded in 1920.
New Jersey has many Revolu-
tionary relics. One day last week
my mother and I went to see the
sword Of Bunker Hill.
John Adams Miles, Roselle Park,
owns it.
THE sword was captured by my
fathers uncle, Gen. Miles, from a
British captain" Mr.. Miles said.
THE English officer had drawn the
sword on him. The general grabbed
it and in the fight killed the British
captain. He sent the sword home. It
has been in our family ever since"
The weapon was a slender curved
blade of rusty blue steel topped by
a carved ivory handle. The date,
1444, was cut on each side of the
blade. Experts believe it must have
originally been a Crusaders sword"
Mr.. Miles said.
Roselle Park is just across the
track from RoSelle, where We once
spent several summers visiting
Helen Fogg, aunt Of Frederic Dorr
Steele, the artist.
Miss Fogg and her father, old Col.
William Perry Fogg, lived in a white
mansard-roofed house set back in a
big garden.
Like Llewellyn Park, Roselle Is
late Victorian.
