This Day In History: 1916-01-23

The sympathies of the Campgaw community go out to the Rev. J. M. Versteeg on the tragic death of his brother Cornelius J. Versteeg of Paterson.  On a visit to his fiancé he was not feeling well and remained overnight.  When he went to bed he failed to light all the burners in his gas heater.  When he failed to respond to a call in the morning he was found dead of asphyxiation.
