Years ago it was popular to clip local news articles and obituries out of the daily newspapers to paste into albums. These albums have become an important source of historical information that is often not found in our history books. In that tradition, we are creating an electronic news and obituary clippings album for Bass River Township and the surrounding area (Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor, West Creek, Lower Bank, Green Bank, Port Republic, etc.) that we hope will be informative as well as interesting. Stop by from time to time. You never know what might pop up!
We have over 3,500 obituaries from Bass River and the surrounding communities on file. If you would like a specific obituary printed of a family member or someone in a genealogy you are working on, get in touch with us. If we can find the obituary, we will upload it to this Web Page.

A special thank you to Shirley and Leslie Whealton who clipped and organized most of the obituaries in our collection.
