Elisha J. Morrison died on Friday morning at A. N. Sparks's at Eatontown, where he made his home. He was ninety years old and his death was due to a general breaking down of his health. He was born at Nut Swamp and lived on a farm in Middletown township until the time of the civil war, when he moved to Poplar. He continued farming there until eleven years ago when he moved to Asbury Park. About a year ago he went to live at Eatontown. He was one of the largest peach growers in the country when peaches were one of the chief products of the farmers. He was at one time keeper of the Chapel Hill lighthouse. He was unmarried and was a brother of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Boeckel, mother of Mrs. Charles H. Borden of Red Bank. Fred Boeckel of Locust Point and William Boeckel of Leonardville are his nephews; Miss Maggie Boeckel and Miss Lydia Boeckel of Red Bank are his nieces ; and another niece is Mrs. William Davis of Newark. These six persons are his nearest relatives.Source: Red Bank Register, Wednesday, Aug 21, 1901
