Cyrus Bustill

Cyrus Bustill was born in Burlington in 1732. His father was an English lawyer and his mother a slave. Because the status of the child follows the status of the mother, this meant that Bustill was a slave. He was trained to be a baker by a Thomas Prior, who was a Quaker. At the age of 36, Bustill got his freedom. During the American Revolutiion he helped the army with something it had a great need for, bread. He was commended for this service and received a silver piece for General George Washington.

Samuel and Elizabeth “Phoebe” France

Samuel Fraunces was a mulatto, a person with one whie and one black parent, from Jamaica. His was most likely born in 1734, though it could have been as early at 1722. At some point in his life he immigrated to the colonies and settled in New York City, eventually becoming the owner of a tavern. It was rumored that during the Revolutionary War, his tavern was used as a meeting place for Patriots. On December 4, 1783, George Washington delivered his farewell to his officers at Fraunce’s Tavern. Apparently Washington and Fraunces had a personal and business relationship. The two dined together at the Old 76 House in Tappan, New York, and Fraunces cooked for Washington at the DeWint House, which is also in Tappan. Fraunces also served a steward to President Washington in New York City, and in Philadelphia from 1791 to 1794. George Washington Parke Custis, Martha’s grandson, remarked on Fraunces at a state dinner, “Fraunces in snow-white apron, silk shorts and stockings, and hair in full powder, placed the first dish on the table, the clock being on the stroke of four, ‘the labors of Hercules’ ceased.”

Trench and Excavation

Reduce the Costs of Trench Excavation with Sewer Line Relining NJ

Sewer line relining is an underground pipe rehabilitation technique that involves inserting a resin liner into the damaged sewer line pipe and curing the liner so it sticks to the internal walls of the pipe. The liner dries to create a rigid, smooth surface that covers over any cracks, holes or breaks in the pipe rehabilitating the old pipe to almost new condition.

Sewer re-lining can eliminate the need to excavate and rebuild sidewalks, driveways, trees, walkways and other fixtures making trenchless sewer lining cheaper, less disruptive and more environmentally sustainable than traditional trench excavation.

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Some say the day is named after a bishop named Valentine, who was stationed in the Roman Empire. Claudius II or Claudius Gothicus was the Emperor at that time.Claudius II’s short reign was vulnerable to internal as well as external attack. There may have been a revolt in 269-270 led by a Censorinus. Claudius received the title Gothicus in recognition of his major triumph over the Goths. He thought that unmarried men made better soldiers, so he decided to make it a law that young men could not marry. Around 270 A.D., Valentine took pity on the ostracized soldiers who were not permitted to marry or see their sweethearts.

Animal Get Into Your House? Try New Day Pest Control for Same Day Treatment

NJ residents have been reporting an increase in rodents and wildlife in and around their homes since the covid 19 quarantine has closed restaurants and other sources of food.

When restaurants were open rats, racoons and possums all had good eating away from our homes.   With restaurants closed for the last few months a lot of these pests have migrated closer to our homes to search for food.

I have worked with Pest Control in the past and highly recommend them if you are having an issue with pests and need pest control services in NJ.

They are very nice people, affordable and are locally owned, not a franchise, and they literally show up immediately.
