While Elias Howe is credited with the actual invention of the first patented sewing machine in 1846, the industry’s most well-known figure, Isaac Singer actually patented his improved version in 1851. Singer promoted it internationally as a household necessity and as a result, the Singer Company became one of America’s first multinational corporations, and a hugely successful one at that.

OUR TOWN Rahway • Page 10 • June 2019 A TRIBUTE TO RAHWAY’S MEN IN BLUE WHO DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY Submitted by Al Shipley, City Historian and Rahway Library Research Consultant
The Rahway Police Department was established on June 8, 1858 and in the department’s 161 year history, nine officers have lost their lives while in the service of their city. In the next two issues of “Our Town,” this column will pay tribute to those officers by recounting the tragic stories that led to their deaths. Part I * Special policeman Alfred E. Jewell (d. March 2, 1895) was shot and killed while in pursuit of a tramp near the site of the former Scott Avenue train station. The incident started after railroad freight agents telegraphed police headquarters requesting help to break up a gang of six tramps who were drunk and causing trouble at the station. Chief George Wright and four officers, including Jewell, responded. Upon seeing the police, the tramps split up and ran in different directions. Jewell, along with Officer Joel Sharp, chased after one of the trouble-makers. As they gained ground on the fleeing drifter, and were approximately fifteen yards from apprehending him, he suddenly turned and fired three shots. One bullet struck Jewell in the stomach killing him almost instantly. Officer Sharp pounced on the shooter, threw him to the ground, and restrained him until the other officers came to his aid. When searched, the culprit, who gave his name as John Sloan, was carrying two sticks of dynamite, a jackknife, fuse, percussion caps, and a set of drills and a file, articles commonly associated with safe-crackers.
