#TombstoneTuesday: John O'Brien has been putting "puzzle pieces" together again at the Old Newton Burial Ground: Phebe is Phebe Cassidy, wife of Andrew, d. 1-1-1874 at the age of 65; the first Jane is Jane Mills, wife of Robert Sr., d. 3-29-1844 at the age of 94; the second Jane is the wife of William Washer, d 9-13-1853 at the age of 61. I will post again when they are cleaned up with D2.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Sussex County Historical Society is Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 7 pm, at the Hill Memorial Museum located at 82 Main Street Newton. I would like to invite all members of the Society to attend. We need more history minded people to join in our efforts to restore the old Academy Building. You have probably seen the work going on there as a new roof project is almost complete. This is just phase 1. This historic building has great potential but will need much more work. Please join us.![]()
