HENRY ANDREW BENNETT-For many years active in those pursuits which involve the public safety and welfare, Henry Andrew Bennett, of Nep- tune City, New Jersey, is broadly representative of the citizenship which holds Monmouth county in the forefront of the march of progress. Mr. Bennett is
a son of Robert and Emmaline (Andrews) Bennett, and has one brother, Correll Bennett.
Henry Andrew Bennett was born in New Branch, (now Neptune City), New Jersey, June 5, 1859, and was educated in the public schools of his native town. After completing his studies he became iden- tified with the fishing industry, and for a few years followed the sea. Then in 1880 he entered the life- saving service on the New Jersey coast, and for almost seventeen years continued along this line, retiring in 1896. He has since served the people in a public capacity, giving the force of an active mind and broadly benevolent spirit to the advancement of the public welfare. Always a supporter of the Democratic party, and a staunch advocate of its principles, he was elected councilman many years ago, and is now mayor of Neptune City.
Mr. Bennett is a member of Tecumseh Tribe, No. 60, Improved Order of Red Men, and of the Knights of Pythias of Asbury Park, having belonged to the latter organization for a period of thirty years. He is an influential member of the Baptist church.

JOSEPH ALVIN POOLE was born at Nanuet, Rockland county, New York, November 18, 1871, and is a son of Alvis S. and Katherine (O'Connell) Poole. His mother is a descendant of Daniel O'Con- nell of Ireland. At the time of Mr. Poole's birth, his father was employed in the construction of a new railroad at Nanuet, and had charge of the horses required for the work. When his employ- ment on the railroad came to an end, Alvis S. Poole returned to Long Branch with his family.
Mr. Poole received his early education in the public schools of New Jersey. After completing his studies, he formed a connection with the Long Branch "Record," one of the city's newspapers, in order to learn the trade of a printer. He remained with the Long Branch "Record" for three years, acquiring a complete knowledge of printing. He then went to Asbury Park and worked on the first issue ever printed of the Asbury Park "Press." For the next fourteen years he worked at his trade in cities all over the United States. In this way he gained great experience and acquired a first- hand knowledge of printing conditions throughout the United States.
In 1901, when he felt that he had traveled enough, and when his desire to see his own country was satisfied, he returned to Long Branch and establish- ed the Long Branch "Press." This paper had a circulation of from twelve hundred to fourteen hundred copies and appeared once a week. In ad- dition to the management of his newspaper, Mr. Poole accepted special printing commissions.
After a time, however, Mr. Poole decided to leave
120
MONMOUTH COUNTY
.
the printing business and accordingly discontinued the publication of the Long Branch "Press." He on- bored the Long Branch Police Department as a piuin clothes man. After serving two years in that capacity at Long Branch, he became the superin- tendent of Shadow Lawn, which was at that time the property of Mr. White and which later became the summer home of ex-President Wilson. In 1915, .Mr. Poole was appointed United States postmaster Deal, New Jersey, by ex-President Wilson. At fast time, Deal was a post-office of the fourth class. During Mr. Poole's tenure of office, the location of the post office has been altered and it has become an office of the third class. Mr. Poole represented the United States postmasters of the third class be- fere. a committee in New York in the year 1920. During the World War, the post-office at Deal re- ceived highest honors for the sale of War Savings Stamps, having exceeded the sales of fifty-two other post-offices.
Mr. Poole is a Catholic and a member of Saint Mary's Catholic Church at Deal. In politics, he is a Democrat. He is a Knight of Columbus, and has been through the various chairs of the order.
He married Eva Allport of England, October 18, 1916. Mr. and Mrs. Poole have no children.
HARRY ENGLISH SHAW, M.D .- The rapid de- velopment of surgical science during the last quar- ter of a century has led many physicians to devote themselves almost exclusively to this branch of the profession, and among these must be numbered Dr. Shaw, who since 1899 has been practicing in Long Branch, and winning for himself such a wide repu- tation from the success of his labors that he has be- come recognized as one of the leading surgeons in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Harry English Shaw was born at Adelphia, New Jersey, December 9, 1872, the son of Henry Martin and Catherine V. (Van Note) Shaw. At the age of four years Dr. Shaw moved with his parents to New York City, and it was here that the lad at- tended public school for eight years. In 1884 the family removed to Long Branch, New Jersey, and here he resumed his studies, subsequently graduat- ing from the local high school, and matriculating at Princeton University, from which institution he re- ceived the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1895. Having in the meantime decided to devote himself to the medical profession, he accordingly entered the medical department of New York University, and won from here the degree of Doctor of Medi- cine in 1898. That same year he passed the New Jersey State Board examinations, and served his interneship at Bellevue Hospital, New York City. In 1899, he moved to Long Branch, New Jersey, and established himself in general practice. Very soon, however, by reason of taste and natural aptitude, he directed the greater part of his attention to surgery, gradually eliminating the medical element. Success quickly attended his efforts, and he is now in possession of a large and increasing clientele. He is a member of the surgical staff of the Mon-
mouth Memorial Hospital, and among the profes- sional organizations of which Dr. Shaw is a mem- ber are the American Medical Association, the New Jersey State Medical Association, the Monmouth County Medical Society, and the Practitioners' Soci- ety of Eastern Monmouth County. He affiliates with Phi Alpha Sigma fraternity, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and the Masonic fraternity, being a member of Abacus Lodge, No. 182, Free and Accepted Masons.
Politically Dr. Shaw is a Democrat. In spite of his pressing professional duties he has always found time to give his interest and aid to the advancement of the public welfare, and no good work done in the name of charity or religion appeals to him in vain. During the World War he served on the draft board, was active in the Liberty Loan cam- paigns, and on all the drives for the raising of funds used in supporting the American Expedition- ery Force. He is a Presbyterian in religion and attends the church of this denomination at Long Branch, where he officiates as elder.
In 1892, Harry English Shaw was united in mar- riage with Nellie Goodenough, daughter of Dr. Joseph and Caroline V. (Allen) Goodenough, of Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
MORTIMER HALL DANGLER-One of the en- terprising young men in the contracting business in Long Branch, is Mortimer Hall Dangler, who has served with honor in the United States Army, and is socially and fraternally prominent in this community. Mr. Dangler is a son of John F. and Mary Elizabeth (King) Dangler. The father, who was a landscape gardener and farmer, is now de- ceased, and they were the parents of four sons and four daughters.
Mortimer H. Dangler was born, in Long Branch, February 10, 1890, and received his education in the public schools. Then, learning the trade of car- penter with Robbins & Bennett, he prepared for a future in this field of endeavor, which he eventually entered. Meanwhile, joining the National Guard, he was a member of that body for five years, and during that period of service was sent to the Mexi- can border as Corporal of Troop B., Red Bank Cavalry. After his return Mr. Dangler worked in Newark for about six months, then worked at League Island Navy Yard for two years. There he worked as foreman, assembling small parts on air-craft production, and about this time he went to Sea Girt with the New Jersey National Guard, but was discharged on account of his previous ser- vice and also the fact that he had a wife and children. Thereafter, coming to Long Branch, Mr. Dangler established the contracting business which he is now actively carrying forward, and has since been thus engaged. He is meeting with gratifying success, and has attained a high position in this field, for a young man with a recently established business. He handles almost entirely residence work of the better class, and already has a consid- erable amount of work to his credit.

CHARLES E. KING, leading citizen of Allen- hurst, New Jersey, was born July 24, 1846, in New York City. He is the son of Eben A. King, a captain in the Mexican War and, later, engaged in the produce business in New York, and Addie Eliza- beth (Parker) King. Charles E. King attended school in New York City and then pursued a course in chemistry at the New York College. After com- pleting his studies, he secured a position as chem- ist with M. Ward Chase & Company, wholesale druggists, of New York. In 1884 Mr. King re- moved to Asbury Park and there became the local representative of several papers, such as the New York "Tribune," "American" and "Herald;" the Philadelphia "Ledger," and several others. Soon after this time Mr. King opened an advertising bureau, covering the state, and the business was carried on under the name of the King Agency. During the presidential campaign of President Wil- son, Mr. King represented the "New York Ameri- can," at Shadow Lawn, Long Branch. In 1916, he was appointed clerk of the borough of Allenhurst, and in addition to this office he now holds the offices of recorder and secretary of the board of health. He is one of the most progressive and prominent men in his community, and is held in high esteem.
Mr. King is a veteran of the Civil War. He en- listed in April, 1861, with the Seventh Regiment, New York State Guard, and was with this regiment when it went to the rescue of Washington.

He married Elizabeth G. Roche and they were the parents of eight children, six of whom are now living.
EDWARD CORLIES BARKALOW-A man who has been, for more than twenty years, successfully engaged in the express business, requires no intro- duction to the citizens of his own community, nor, indeed, to many living beyond its boundary lines. This is the case with Mr. Barkalow, of Spring Lake, who is almost equally well known for his activity in fraternal circles and for his public- spirited interest in community affairs.
Job S. Barkalow, grandfather of Edward Corlies Barkalow, was born at, or near, Farmingdale, New
Jersey, and was descended from a minister who came from Holland in the early part of the seven- teenth century and settled in that vicinity, dying at New Bedford, New Jersey. Job S. Barkalow was a farmer and blacksmith. He married, and he and his wife were the parents of two sons: Matthi- as, mentioned below, and Edward Corlies. Job S. Barkalow died thirty years ago at the age of sev- enty.
Matthias Barkalow, son of Job S. Barkalow, was born at Farmingdale, but went as a boy to New Bedford where he spent the remainder of his life as a farmer. According to family tradition he was a Democrat. He married Lavinia Allgor, born at New Bedford, daughter of James and Ellen (Smith) Allgor. Mrs. Barkalow died in 1916, at the age of seventy-one, and the death of her husband occurred in 1919, when he had reached the age of seventy- six.
Edward Corlies Barkalow, son of Matthias and Lavinia (Allgor) Barkalow, was born September 24, 1876, at New Bedford, New Jersey, and received his education in the public schools of his native town. After engaging for a time in the livery business, at Belmar, he came, in 1900, to Spring Lake and purchased the express business of E. V. Patterson which he has conducted with marked suc- cess to the present time.
Though a staunch Democrat, Mr. Barkalow has never taken any active part in the political life of his community, preferring to concentrate his care and attention on his business responsibilities. He affiliates with Lodge No. 89, Free and Accepted Masons, of Belmar, New Jersey; Goodwin Chapter, No. 36, of Manasquan, New Jersey; the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, No 128, of Asbury Park; and the Knights of the Golden Eagle of Spring Lake, New Jersey. He and his family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Mr. Barkalow married, January 10, 1904, at Spring Lake, Charlotte Anne Shibley, born at that place, daughter of Peter and Ellen (Curtis) Shib- ley, and they are the parents of one daughter, Ellen Louise, born at Spring Lake, April 22, 1906.
If to be a successful, honorable business man and an upright, useful citizen is to make a record worthy of preservation, Edward Corlies Barkalow has certainly achieved that end.
JOHN J. QUINN-The legal profession early claimed John J. Quinn, of Red Bank, New Jersey, his professional ambition a legacy from his talented father, John Quinn, who was an attorney of the New York bar with offices in New York, living in Red Bank at the time of the birth of his son, but now gone to his long home. John Quinn, born in New York, married Lenora Reilly, born in Connect- icut, who passed away June 12, 1921.

Ollief W. Powell was born February 16, 1889, in Warren county, North Carolina, near the town of Littleton. He secured a practical education in the public schools of his native place, and then assisted his father on the plantation. But he found little interest in the operations carried on, so determined to learn a trade, for which purpose he served an apprenticeship with John Ellen, a mason contractor of Littleton. With his progress in this apprentice- ship the young man came to realize that in order to reach his goal, the field of the general contractor, he must gain broader experience and master vari- ous phases of construction. Accordingly he spent five years with I. I. Odorn & Company, of Littleton, one of the leading contracting firms of that section. In 1906 Mr. Powell started in business for himself in his native place, and made an auspicious begin- ning, but he felt that opportunities would be greater in the north, and in 1909 decided to make the change. He located in Red Bank, New Jersey, where he worked for a year to gain a general know- ledge of business conditions hereabouts, being em- ployed by P. J. Wettecer. Then, starting for him- self in Red Bank, Mr. Powell built some of the finest residences erected there in recent years. In 1918 he acquired a tract of land in Oceanport, for the pur- pose of developing a new residential section, and re- moving to this town, began the operations which have come to be of such marked significance to the community. He has built many beautiful homes on this tract, selling them to the people, and constantly widening tne scope of his activities.

William Hartshorne read law with Edmund Wil- son, and soon afterwards entered the New York Law School, and in 1905 passed the bar examina- tions of New Jersey, receiving his degree, and five years later, in 1900, was admitted to practice at the New York bar. He engaged in practice at Red Bank, and for a time was located in New York City, but for the past three years has been in Freehold, New Jersey, where he has a large clientele and car- ries on a general practice of his profession. Al- though his professional interests occupy a large share of his time, Mr. Hartshorne does not allow these to separate him from taking the part the best kind of a citizen should in the social and public life of the city.
Mr. Hartshorne married Sara Haight Taylor, and they are the parents of two daughters, Anne and Louise Hendrickson.

When he felt himself fully qualified by training and experience to start in business for himself, he es- tablished himself in business at West Hoboken. He continued to conduct his business as a builder and contractor until 1913, when he moved to Highlands, New Jersey, and bought Creighton's Hotel. He met with complete success in this venture and has continued to manage the hotel ever since. He has built several bungalows for rental during the sum- mer season, and he leases the ground adjoining the hotel to the Long Branch Steamboat Company.
