Monmouth County, New Jersey Obituaries
January 15, 1882 - A colored boy named Job Fisher residing near Fair Haven, died of blood poisoning
on Tuesday evening. Fisher had been wearing a pair of rubber boots, which about a week ago began to chafe his legs,
but he did not think anything about it until Friday week, when he had to take to his bed. As soon as a physician
was called in he pronounced it a case of blood poisoning caused by the chafing of the rubber boots. [Submitted by Shauna Williams]
