I will take this page down after you let me know that you got the files. There's realty tax mapping feature in the county that lets anyone search for landowners.
There's a 1963 page from his college yearbook there, too.
The obituary from The Trenton Times shows that Ian died in Princeton, NJ.
My wife's grandmother was Ethel May Barnes of Norwich, Chenango County, New York.
A book was compiled by R. C. (Raymond Curtis) Barnes about the families. He had the book printed in 1964. He once lived in Norwich, but joined the US Army and chose to live in San Antonio, Texas in his retirement.

Hello,
I am Bob Thomas, a resident of the village of Morris and a Fire Commissioner for the Joint Town and Village of Morris Fire District.
I ask your indulgence for a moment before I get into the work of the Advocates for Morris.
I have a story about the skunks and the deer and about whales and apes.
Last spring as I was raking up the piles of sticks, stones, and leaves that accumulate where you pile the snow when you plow I turned up the lower foreleg of a deer. There was still some hair and hoof on it.
These days I live in Morris, NY. I was trying to trace the land that my house is on back to the time that it was in the hands of the Oneida tribe of the Iroquois and come up with a list of owners from them to me.
He was named Samuel G. Thomas. Through another person on ancestry.com I learned that I could request copies of vital records for people in New Jersey.

You can see a scan of the photocopy that was sent to me by clicking on the link below.

Found a photo of William Finley, the father of Chester Alexander Finley - husband of Beulah M. Van Leer. I don't know much about the photo, as far as when it was taken or who the little girl was. I think that the photo was taken late in the life of William Finley, 1849 - 1935.

They never collected the tickets at Woodstock. I bought mine in advance and brought them home with me.
Bob Harvey drove a station wagon, Alan Stahl, Jack Papovich, and I went along. Astronauts had just walked on the moon and come home. The world was changing.
On Saturday May 3rd, 2009, my grandson, Mason, asked to have his training wheels taken off his bike. His father, Aaron, being a really good father, broke away from the job he had started of getting the boat out of the barn and readying it for the new season.
Jack Wiler has a blog - not really news now - but he listed the hit tunes of 1965 and I thought that it would be fun to list them with links to youtube vids of them - with the sound of course... His blog is
Recently I have taken an interest in Genealogy - fortunately some of my relatives have also. One of them used her/our family history in writing her master's thesis. Her name is Karen Lynn (Gant) Heiser. She is a graduate of and an employee of Rowan University. She grew up in Glassboro, NJ.
You can click on the link to download the Word Doc that she created. I recommend downloading the link and then opening the file. Enjoy!
