Someone recommended that I place this post here. Looking for information on Fred Stevenson, married to Blanch Guth, probably early 1900s.They had a son named Holloway and another one named Russell. They lived in Stanhope-Netcong area. Also, a tragedy that happened around 1930. They had a son named Frederick who Fell in ice water the lake by their house, and fell through the ice and drowned. Also, Fred, the father, was killed in an explosion in a railroad terminal (roundhouse)I think, probably in the early 1960's. Any information on this family will be greatly appreciated. Would like to find burial places especially.
