The first bridge in Millville over Maurice River was probably built in the early 1750's for history says that a bridge was "lately built" in laying out a road from it to Fairfield in October, 1756. It was a short distance below the present one, and rested on long cribs, and was without any draw. Whether this bridge was replaced by another before the beginning of the 19th century is unknown, but, judging from the length of time other bridges lasted, it probably was. After the law was passed requiring bridges to be built by the county, repairs were made to it and in 1807 after the glassworks were established above it, a new one was ordered built by the board of free­ holders, with a hoisting draw in it, the factory neces­ sitating a draw.

WHAT'S SO GREAT, REALLY JUST BEING 100 YEARS OLD?

It doe~n·t matter too mucn you know, how long a City has lived. What really counts is what that City has done with those years.

Have we developed to the fullest all our resources, our waterways, our cross-roads, locating our many competitive advantages over other Citie's in the Delaware Valley? Have we through these years· really appreciated the potentials we hold? Many towns born 200 years ago have withered.

Last Christmas time, 28,000 pounds of holly, made ·up in several thousand boxes, 2~ sprigs to a box, were sent out to customers and friends all over the United States. The orchard contains 16 different types of holly trees, six of the varieties having been named, "Maurice River," "Slim Jim," "Cumberland," "Eleanor" and "Menantico." Most of the trees in the original orchard have been transplanted from the nearby woods. There are some trees that have been obtained from a distance but, almost all come from the swamps and forest of the Fries' Mill area. The orchard is enclosed with an eight foot fence with the thought of protecting the trees from deer.

The steamboat Helen Getty, which was used chiefly for carrying glassware of Whitall and Tatum Company to the city markets, was lying at the wharf, and was badly scorched before she could be cut loose and pushed out of danger. No other buildings stood near the mill and the place was burned to the ground, but no other damage was done. It was about noon on one of the hottest days of mid-August that the big fire started in the lumber yard of Mulford and Reeves, which was one of the most extensive yards in this part of the State, located on the northwest corner of Buck and Main Streets. A fire had been discovered in the shingle shop of the firm earlier in the day, but was extinguished with very little damage.

Early in 1867 the First Methodist Epsicopal Church was organized and acquired the "town hall" site, formerly a part of the Isaac Newcomb estate for the purpose of erecting a church there. The Odd Fel­ lows moved to the Wilson Opera House building, Sassafras and High Sts., but there was no available hall for Shekinah Lodge. In the deal whereby the church obtained the Second and Pine Sts. site, the High and Pine St. comer was also included and, after much bickering Shekinah Lodge purchased the High St. lot from the church, bought the old town hall and moved the wooden portion, which included the second and third stories, to High and Pine Sts., and it remains, barring changes which have been made to the first floor, just as it was in 1868. The Masonic Lodge purchased the Zambone building on the northwest comer of High and Pine Sts. in 1920, sold the old town hall to Burdette Tom­ lin and moved across the street.

In the latter year an unfinished stone dwelling-house, on the southwest comer of Second and Smith Streets, was purchased and fitted up for a place of worship, and was dedicated in 1824. The Brick Church was erected at Second and Pine streets in 1868, when the group moved away from the Stone Church. In fact, the First Methodist located at a new site and those who remained became "Trinity" Methodists. In 1853 Millville became a station of the circuit. The membership was in 1867, five hundred and in 1877, eight hundred. In the latter year Trinity Me­ thodist Episcopal Church was formed from this sa. ciety which, of course, reduced the number of mem­ bers. An annex, caJled the Temple, was erected in 1910 and with the exception of repairs, the edifice remained unchanged until Rev.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH In the earliest years of Millville as a township, all SectS met together for worship on Sunday in an old building at Second and Sassafras Streets.

In 1814, John Osborne and Jonathan Freeman, sent by the Presby- tery of Philadelphia, met in Port Elizabeth at the home of James Park, originally from Deerfield, to or­ ganize a church for the Presbyterian families living in Maurice River and Millville townships. It was named "The First Presbyterian Church in Maurice River in Cumberland County, N. J." However, most of the active members lived in or near Millville and the cen­ ter of worship soon moved here. A Baptist church that was founded in Port Elizabeth also soon moved to Millville. :,,; :. The Presbyterians and Baptists continued to meet · in the old building at Second and Sassafras Streets. Here is an interesting news item of that period. "On ''. .<:l~f t~7:~ . the Second Sabbath in August, 1822, M. Ogden from Cape May preached. We took up a collection designed for his benefit, but he declined taking more than fifty cents." In 1836 the land bounded by Pine, Sassafras, Sec­ ond and Third Streets was deeded to the Presbyterian Trustees, but there was no money to erect a church. Shortly thereafter, $616.02 that had been collected for a second Presbyterian church in Bridgeton, was turned over to the Millville Presbyterians. A 30 x 40 foot frame building, seating 150, was completed in 1838, on Second Street, south of Pine. From 1837 through 1840 there were Stated Sup­ plies, and from 1841 to the present, there has been a succession of Installed Pastors. The first manse was built in 1841 on the comer of Second and Pine Streets, north of the church. In 1855, a 20 foot addition was made on the east end of the church, and a reed or­ gan installed - the "first musical instrument used in any of the churches."

He served through the Civil War years which were very hard on the church and, when he left, the church was without a pastor for an entire year. In 1888, it was decided to sell some of the land However, regular meetings continued to be held, new owned by the church and to use the money for a new members were added, and the parsonage was enlarged church.

Glass production facilities as they appeared at the turn of the century on land now occupied by Armstrong Cork Company.

A CENTURY AGO, MILLVILLE HAD ALREADY BEEN PRODUCING GLASS FOR 60 YEARS

Millville was a glass producing center as early as 1806. Today, Annstrong Cork Company's glass container plant is on the site of the original 1806 establishment. The Annstrong Plant carries on the heritage of the 19th Century glassblowers. But these craftsmen would hardly recognize glassmaking today. Annstrong employees at Millville have taken part in continued improvements and modernization - the kind of changes that have made today's glassmaking a highly scientific industry.

Long before the city of Millville was actually founded, glass producing was an im­ portant element in the area's economy. This year, Annstrong sniutes Millville on the occasion of its Centennial. And the Company is proud to be linked - through glass production - to the origin of one of the city's oldest industries. @!!'K~!~p~~g MILLVILLE, N. J. TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH banded church.

INDUSTRIES MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY Founded in 1888

\ Today, there are eight schools, including a large high school and junior high school. They are all equip­ ped with modem class rooms . .EDUCATION FACILITIES There are some who question whether there was a high school in Millville in 1883. There was and one of the graduates of that high school, was Miss Eliza­ beth Kurtz, one of the town's best school teachers. Central School was a three story structure, stand­ ing on the northwest comer of Third and Sassafras Sts. The lower portion of the building was of red brick and the upper of white weather boards. There was one large room and a smaller one on the third floor known as the high school. There was one other room on that floor devoted to the sev­ enth and eighth grades, taught by Hannah Brandriff in the 80's and by Miss Langley, before that time. The first two floors were given up to the lower grades and in the schoolyard, in front of the building was the school pump with two great, heavy tin .cups chained to the pump. There are still a number of Millvillians who may recall Sanford Culver, principal of the school.
