Mrs. Newman was a friend of the Palmer family. We always saw her at Allaire. And Don Newman was a friend of my dad. I was lucky enough for my son to meet them both at the railroad. Always very nice to me. Mr. Newman actually had us ride next to him on the steam train. Nice people. My condolences to the family.

May you rest in peace Dot, the last I saw you was at the Monmouth Settlers Reunion at So Wall Fire Dept. Hall. You gave so much to our community. Our early families were the heart of what made Wall, Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA! Thank you for all you gave to all of us by promoting the preservation of the history of our kin. With fond memories, Jackie (Goslin) & Bob Davin,
