About Reading Margerum, Sr.

Reading Sr owned a farm at 602 Eayrestown Rd, south of Mount Holly, NJ (see profile picture). This farm and most of the surrounding farmland is still intact. In addition to farming, Reading Sr also dabbled in real estate, amassing a number of properties around Mt Holly and Lumberton (see image of Real Estate Sale 1898). These properties include to the best of my knowledge 1.) 1471 US-206 (actually on Indian Mills Rd) 2.) 602 Eayrestown Rd., mentioned above 3.) Somewhere near the Crystal Diner and ALDI Market in WIllingboro, Rt. 130 4.) 24 Pine St., Mount Holly. I'm unable to find the secondary properties mentioned in the sale.
