"Could it have been in Highland Park?
There's an article here from the April 1910 New Brunswick Times newspaper about closing Old Mill Road. Not sure if it's the same you're looking for, but thought I'd pass it along as it may…"
"Wow, Edward. Those are some stories. Certainly some dark episodes in our town's history. Thanks for sharing how you found them. What a great resource the online newspaper archive is!"
"That's a fascinating story. I never heard it before. How did you happen to find it?"
"Here's another murder, this one from 1872. The article contains some familiar Milltown names such as Kuhlthau and…"
"I found the paper here http://newbrunswick.newspaperarchive.com/ through the New Brunswick library web site. It is really something I wish I didn't find.

July 25, 1913 murder at Michelin Plant
I found this article - while I was looking for something else - about a brutal murder in front of the Michelin Plant. Interestingly enough, this is the second brutal crime I found that happened at the plant. I know it's not a pleasant piece of Milltown history, but I thought I'd pass it along. Has anyone heard of this crime before?"Jilted Lover Kills Woman Who Would Not Wed Him, Shoots Man and Eludes Officer in Pursuit."…See More

- Did your parents/ grandparents live in Milltown? If so, what were their names?
- No.
- About Me:- Tell us about yourself
- I teach American history at the secondary level and am currently working on another history degree. My wife and I have new born twins and are very excited about raising them here in Milltown. I wish I had more time to explore Milltown's history; this site is much appreciated!
- What is your interest in Milltown history?
- Everything really, but specifically I'm interested in the other side of town, closer to Ryders Lane, where my house is. I have been told by neighbors that my home was one of the first on or near Washington Ave. and was originally a farmhouse. I'm currently trying to piece together its history by looking at census records and collecting the artifacts that I find within and outside the house.
