West-Jersey pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1851-1884: March 26, 1859
Ogden, Jason - Drowned.
On Saturday morning last, between daybreak and sunrise, Mr. Jason Ogden, of
Cedarville, was knocked overboard from the deck of the sloop Ida, and drowned. The
body was not recovered. The vessel was laden with Lumber, Dry Goods, &c, and bound
for Cedarville. While near the mouth of Cedar creek, a severe gale caused a sudden
movement of the sail, which knocked him overboard. The deceased was about 29 years
of age. A number of persons, we are informed, went down on Monday afternoon to
endeavor to recover the body, but so far as we have yet learned, they have met with
no success. In accordance with the wishes of the friends of the deceased, a service
was conducted in the Brick Church, Cedarville, on Sunday afternoon, designed to be
appropriate to the occasion.
