Hoboken Historical Museum Archives 2007.071.0001 ===[Front Cover Hoboken Historical Museum Archives 2007.071.0001 ==== [front cover] Souvenir Fiftieth Anniversary Exempt Assn. Hoboken H.V.F.D. [Hoboken Volunteer Fire Department] 1860 – 1910 April 9th, 1910 ==== [page 1] Greeting! To Our Honored Guests and the Citizens of the City of Hoboken: In presenting this Souvenir and History of our Association, we would call the attention of our friends and subscribers to the fact, that in compiling the same, we have given careful attention to securing a complete list of all those who have been members of the Association, as well as of those who have died within its ranks, and of noteworthy incidents occurring during the past fifty years of its existence. To the older residents of our city, some of the names of members mentioned therein may bring back old reminiscences of the past; to the present generation we can say that we point with pride to some whose achievements have done a great deal in framing the history of our city many years before its incorporation. To our friends, the subscribers, we owe a debt of gratitude for their assistance in making this souvenir what it is, and we take pleasure in recommending them not alone to our members, but to the public at large, as being able to and competent business men. We would also at this time express our sincere thanks to all our friends who have aided us in the past, for the many favors extended, so that we were enabled to celebrate this Golden Anniversary as an Association of Exempt Volunteer Firemen of the City of Hoboken. ==== [page 2] [photo portrait] George Gonzales. [facsimile signature] Mayor of Hoboken, N.J. ==== [page 3] History 1860-1910 At a meeting of Exempt Firemen of the City of Hoboken, held in the house of Washington Hook & Ladder Co.

Gelston, Cornelius B. Housman, John D. P. Mount, Henry F. Katenkamp and Charles Chamberlin, who decided to form an association of Exempt Firemen, to be known an designated as “The Association of Exempt Firemen of the City of Hoboken.” The following preamble was then adopted: “For the purpose of affording such aid to the Fire Department for the City of Hoboken as lies in our power, and also for the purpose of cherishing and perpetuating the kind feelings as firemen, we, the exempt firemen, from the fact of our having heretofore served sufficient length of time in the Fire Department to exempt us from other public duties, and to entitle us, should occasion require, to assistance from the funds of the Department, this Association do hereby form and organize ourselves, and adopt regulations for our government.” A committee to draft by-laws and to report on a suitable badge to be worn by the members, was appointed, and after considerable discussion it was decided to adjourn subject to the call of the chairman. After several meetings which had been called by the chairman, and the committees appointed reported progress, they again met on the evening of November 23, 1860, in the house of Washington Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1, when John and James McCulloch were added to the roll. The committee on by-laws made their report, and the same were adopted. They then adjourned to meet on Tuesday evening, January 15, 1861, for the purpose of electing the officers of the Association for one year. At this meeting William G. Shepherd, Willliam Hersee, John M. Board, Silas H. Jessup, and William H. Wilson were added to the roll, and the first officers of the Association elected, namely: Theodore Van Tassell, president; Thomas Mickens, vice-president; James Housman, secretary, and William G. Shepherd, treasurer. On April 16, 1861, the first deposit was made in the Hoboken Bank for Savings, namely $18, and on July 16, 1861, Charles T. Perry, Edward Snedicker, John Kennedy, Charles J.

Mohn [facsimile signature] Mayor of West Hoboken Member of the Exempt Association of Hoboken Messrs. Board, Mount and Wilson were appointed a committee to go to Trenton and have the Association incorporated. The officers of the previous year were then re-elected, and the Treasurer reported a balance of $26.00 in the bank. On June 15, the following resolution was adopted: “At a meeting of the Association of Exempt Firemen of the City of Hoboken, the undersigned were appointed and instructed to express their sincere thanks for the eminent services now being rendered by you to our Country in the hour of its greatest peril. “As representatives of this Association, we gratefully appreciate your renouncing all family and social ties, together with all the comforts and conveniences that you are not actuated by any selfish motives, but animated by the most self-sacrificing patriotism, being possessed of such zeal and integrity. Your efforts will secure to you such a degree of success and usefulness as shall render it an event memorabilia in the history of our country, to which ourselves and posterity will refer with pride and satisfaction, earnestly requesting your acceptance of the thanks of the Association, and with the ardent wishes for your health and happiness, we commend you, our devoted friend, through this unnatural and sanguinary contest to Him whose cause you represent and defend, and may He through His interposition speedily terminate, so as to enable you soon again to enjoy the embraces of your affectionate family, and receive the congratulations of your legion of friends. W.G. Shepherd, J.M. Board, J. Stephenson, Committee.” At this meeting Nicholas F. Lawrence ad Isaac Shreve were elected members. ==== [page 5] Compliments of Our Former Mayors [photo portraits] George H. Steil.

  • The Nicholas Gesner Diary
    The nicholas gesner Diary Volume 1 1829-1834 Transcribed and edited by Alice Gerard © Alice Gerard, 2015 PO Box 225 Palisades NY 10964 ISBN 978-0-9743865-1-5 forewOrd This book is dedicated to my mother Alice Haagensen, with many thanks to everyone who helped with her gargantuan effort to transcribe theNicholas Gesner Diary. The publication of the book was made possible by the work done between 1958 and 2000 by Alice Haagensen and the many friends and relatives she per- suaded to help her decipher Nicholas Gesner’s crabbed handwriting. They had actually transcribed the first 400 pages, some typed and more handwritten, although none of it was on the computer. Among them were Caroline Tapley, Tina Kister, Mildred Rippey, Judy Friedlander, and myself; there may have been others. Other people helped. Piermont Librarian Grace Mitchell assisted me in researching the history of Pier- mont. Marianne Leese of the Rockland County Historical Society provided me with maps. I relied heavily on the publications of Winthrop Gilman and Reginald McMahon for information about the people who lived in Nicholas’s neighborhood during the time he kept the diary. Herb Kellogg, who lived in the dwelling that Nicholas built in 1793, showed me over the house so I could get an idea about the living spaces. Formatting the diary was a complicated process. Alice Haagensen had hoped to publish it with a graphic of each one of Nicholas’s pages opposite each transcription. This would have required a series of 8 volumes, 400 pages each, so I abandoned the idea.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.

Munn Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data Munn, David C 1941- Battles and skirmishes of the American Revolution in New Jersey. 1. New Jersey – History – Revolution, 1775-1783. I. Title. E263.N5M85 973.3'3'09747 76-43103 ©Copyright 1976 Bureau of Geology and Topography, Department of Environ- mental Protection. All rights reserved. ". When Howe victorious our weak armies chased, And, sure of conquest, laid Cesarea waste, . " Philip Freneau, An Address The original "Battles and Skirmishes" map was researched and drawn in 1945 by John D. Alden, then Historian of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. In 1965 D. Stanton Hammond made additions and revisions for the society. It was Hammond who brought the map to the attention of the Bureau of Geology and Topography and the Bureau of Archives and History with the suggestion that it be produced for the Bicen- tennial. The Bureau of Archives and History provided the research, using Alden's original files as a starting point. The Bureau of Geol- ogy and Topography provided the draftsman and the technical car- topographic assistance. The intention of the map is to suggest the approximate sites of the various battles and skirmishes that occurred during the Revo- lutionary War rather than to pinpoint the exact locations. Along the same lines, this pamphlet will provide only brief descriptions of the actions, adding bibliographic references for more detailed information. The actual number of violent events that occurred in New Jersey during the Revolutionary War years can never be determined.
