E.P. MOHR DEAD. - KILLED BY HIT AND RUN DRIVER IN WEST JERSEY STREET
Edward P. Mohr, 65 years old of South Street, a former Councilman and for many years a title searcher the Court House was instantly killed yesterday morning when knocked down by a hit and run automobile in West Jersey Street. A clamp from the bumper of a car picked up in the road where the victim was found dead, bleeding from a laceration in the head, is the only clue to the identity of the death.
Mohr’s lifeless body was found in the roadway, opposite 137 West Jersey Street at 3 o’clock by a motorist who informed Patrolman Francis McKeon, the body was near the center of the highway, lying face down, with blood showing from a wound in the head. McKeon summoned the police patrol and Mohr was taken to the GeneralHospital, where physicians pronounced him dead from a compound fracture of the skull. Physicians said that death must have been instantaneous.
Articles found in the clothing afforded identification. There were checks and a small amount of cash in the pockets, also two check books and some business cards.
The police learned from Ray Gallagher of 139 Union Road, Roselle Park and Elmer Rockerfeller of 56 West Jersey Street, that they saw a Ford car travelling east on West Jersey Street a few moments earlier going at a high speed. It is possible this car was the one which struck Mohr.
At 7:15 am , Mr. Walter Brown of 5 South Street who delivers newspapers notified Patrolman Joseph Brogan that he picked up a clamp for a bumper near the spot where Mohr was struck.
Mohr was struck with great force and marks in the highway show his body was dragged or thrown many feet. The mark indicated he was struck in front of 121 West Jersey street and the body was found opposite No. 137 or approx. 200 feet from the place where he was run down.
Mohr was a bachelor. He was employed as a title researcher at the Court House. He was an officer of Elizabeth Lodge 383, Loyal Order of the Moose and a member of Elizabeth Lodge 389, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
He comes from an old Elizabeth family and was born in this city, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Philip Mohr, who lived on First street, near Fulton street. His father conducted a confectionery store in that section years ago, and was reputed to be the inventor of the ice-cream soda.
Later the family moved to 929 South street where Mr. Mohr resided up to the time of his death. His only know relative is a sister residing in California.

Macmaster in Tribute to Motor Car Victim.
Former Councilman Edward P. Mohr, who was killed by a hit and run mororist in West Jersey Street, Sunday , was a man of character, according to a tribute paid to him to-day by James MacMaster of 454 Jefferson avenue, former chief of the building and loan division of the State Banking and Insurance Department. Mr. MacMaster declared that Mohr frequently befriended others though not a desire to be charitable, but merely because of his friendly nature. Said Mr. MacMasters “I wish to pay a tribute to our good citizen and popular resident of Elizabeth whose loss we must mourn. Edward P. Mohr, a man of high character, with never a blemish on his name; with a big heart and with desire always to be kind to every one. He sacraficed himself many times for others and his days were filled with good deeds.
“For several years his life had been a lonely one, ever since the death of his estimable mother. When she passed away, Eddie who had been a loving son, lived on alone in the old homestead, his greatest satisfaction being the respect of his friends and the gratitude of the many he had befriended out of pure friendship and no thought of charity.
“Many years ago was published the true story of the invention of ice cream soda water by his father, Philip Mohr. Philip was a shoemaker with a little cobbing shop near the corner of First and Fulton streets. The neighborhood was then sparsley settled and so Philip had several jars of penny candles for the children of the neighborhood, which little enterprise led to the sale of soda water and ice cream. Business prospered and on the corner came into being a fine store with an ice cream garden which was a favorite resort of the town and in every way was as beautiful as another famous garden on Broad Street.
“Downstairs lived a man named Fiske, of English ancestory and whose son became a professor in ColumbiaUniversity. Mr. Fiske used to come in the afternoon from New York on the C.R.R. steamboat on his way home would stop in at Philip’s for a glass of soda water and a chat with the genial propietor.
“Soda water in those days fizzed as it was poured and was a delicious drink. One day Fiske said: If your soda water was as cold as your ice cream, it would be delicious.
“I can fix that, said Mr. Mohr and so in the sarasparella he dropped a teaspoonful of vanilla ice cream. This was about the year 1872 or 1873 and we called it saraparella with ice cream.
“Fiske often said : Philip it is the invention of the age, there is millions in it”
“In 1876 at the time of the Centennial Exposition, several other dealers sold it. One of them in Philadelphia left $10,000 for a monument to himself as the inventor of ice cream soda and in Detroit a man named Saunders, who did not start business until 1876 advertised himself as the orginator. It is possible that Saunders may have first used the name ice cream soda, but the real invention of the drink which led to the development of other delicacies such as sundaes, Lillian Russels etc., was by Philip Mohr.
