The plane came down in a deep ravine that leads down to Lake Lefferts. Basically, it occured very near to where the apartment complex Tree Haven Village is located today off Ravine Drive. Both Charles F. and Edward D. Hasemann are buried in the family plot in St. Rose Cemetery in Freehold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442846349063232268.post-66811778685444720982013-07-14T18:21:31.762-04:002013-07-14T18:21:31.762-04:00Glad you enjoyed the article.

I see a John Hauser, age 24, farmer in the 1900 Federal Census, living in Madison (Old Bridge today), Middlesex Co, along with his new bride Nettie, a younger brother Charles, and a 70 yr old uncle Peter Hauser from Germany. My Suburbia has a blog article that discusses the building of Cedar Ridge High School on the property of the old Hauser farm in the 1960s. Just another small clue. https://sites.google.com/a/readmywords.net/www/mysuburbia Thanks for writing. I'm interested in sorting out where the plane crash happened and where the airport was located. I suppose the airport could have been what became the Marlboro Airport on Rte 79. Someone told me there used to be a windsock hanging on Ravine Drive near the Rose Hill Cemetery before a housing development went into the area. That would have been in the 1960s. I've never heard of an airport in town, though. If anyone has any thoughts, I'm happy to hear.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082406276423678772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442846349063232268.post-18945102158785053722013-07-12T14:55:17.049-04:002013-07-12T14:55:17.049-04:00Might the Heuser farm be one and the same with the...Might the Heuser farm be one and the same with the "Old Hauser farm" located off of Greenwood and Ticetown Roads? <br /><br />Just happened to read your post and this one the same week: http://matawan-aberdeen.patch.com/groups/going-green/p/county-acquires-68-acres-for-proposed-marlboro-aberde183a36ccc1<br /><br />Thanks for the history!
