Tallman Pays $35 Fine for False Oath
Resigns Office of J.P.; Youth Fined for Theft

A fine of $35 was assessed in criminal court yesterday by Judge Charles A.
Rigg against William Lloyd Tallman, 38, of Sykesville who had previously
pleaded guilty to an indictment charging false swearing.

Tallman, it was charged, swore last March 24 , that he had never been
convicted of crime. This affidavit was taken incident to Tallman's being
sworn as a newly-elected justice of the peace.

The true bill, returned by the grand jury, charged that Tallman had been
convicted in Monmouth and Middlesex counties on desertion neglect charges
about ten years ago.

In pleading guilty to the charges Tallman informed Judge Rigg that he had
tendered his resignation as justice of the peace to the Secretary of State.

Sentences was deferred until next Thursday, on Norman Cooper of Bordentown
who pleaded non vult to a true bill charging him with false swearing to an
affidavit last March 24 at Mount Holly before Deputy County Clerk Ivins
Wright. Tow other indictments were brought against Cooper by the April grand
jury charging him with indecent assault last April 6 against Eileen A.
Bechtel, and with possession of an obscene picture.

A $50 fine, six months probation and suspended sentence was imposed by upon
William F. Appleton, 16, of Burlington, who had pleaded guilty to larceny of
the automobile of Ted Ostrowski at Burlington last February 20.

REPORT FATHER DEAD DAY DAUGHTER BORN

A few hours after word was received that her husband, a Marine Corps flier,
was killed in action in the Admiralty Islands, Mrs. Charles W. Brannon gave
birth to a daughter at Burlington County Hospital.

Mrs. Brannon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emmet N. Madden of 19 Valley View
Terrace, Moorestown, was taken to the hospital last Friday morning just an
hour before the telegram from Acting Adjutant General Dunlop was received by
her parents.

The Brannons were married in Oklahoma, where 2nd Lt. Brannon received his
wings. He entered the Marine Corps in November 1942, formerly having been
connected with the City National Bank in Dayton, Ohio.

Lt. Brannon piloted a B-24 bomber. It is believed that he had been out of
the country only five weeks when he was killed.

Third War Honor Given Thompson

Especially commended for bravery, Coxswain John Wesley Thompson, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Mitchell Thompson of Vincentown, has received his third citation for
"courage, skill and devotion to duty."

Thompson, who also holds the Navy Medal, is in the Amphibious Force, and
earned his latest commendation in the invasion of Italy. He received the others for

invasion activities in Africa and Sicily.

The commendation read in part: "For courage, skill and devotion to
duty...while coxswain of an amphibious landing craft in the landing of troops
and equipment on enemy-held beaches. Though under heavy, and almost continual
enemy fire, he made repeated trips to the beaches. His seamanship,
tirelessness and coolness under fire contributed materially to the success of
this operation....reflects distinct credit upon the Navel Service."

Thompson, who graduated from Pemberton High School, worked at Bendix Aviation
Corporation, Philadelphia, previous to his enlistment.

Lost His Life In Sea Action
First Burlington Physician to Give Life in This War

Burlington's first doctor to give his life for his country in World War II is
Captain Carlton P. Hogan, 39, of 207 East Union Street, Burlington.

He was officially declared dead as of November 27 by the War Department in a
telegram to his wife Mrs. Isabel Muldoon Hogan, Tuesday morning. It said a
letter would follow.

Captain Hogan, who practiced medicine in Burlington for 11 years before
entering the Army Medical Corps in August 1942, was first reported missing
since November 26 in a telegram to his wife December 29.

A letter from the War department March 26, explained that Captain Hogan was
still missing after a convoy in the Mediterranean, of which his boat was a
part was attacked by the enemy. It also revealed it was late at night, and
the sea was rough, and, as the result of enemy action, the Burlington Doctor
was missing.

It is now believed the boat on which Captain Hogan was a passenger was hit
and sunk rapidly and that he lost his life by drowning despite the fact he
was a strong swimmer.

Loss is Coincidence
Strange as it seems, Burlington now has lost one doctor in each World War I
and World War II, both of whom were Captains in the Army Medical Corps.

Captain James MacFarland, for whom the American Legion Post No. 79, is named
was the Burlington Doctor to die in France in the first war. He was the only
member of Burlington Elks Lodge, No 996, BPOE, to lose his life in World War
I.

Major Stompler, Former Teacher, Now in England - The quiet of New Jersey High
School classroom seems an age away from the bustling activities on this
Eighth Fighter Command Mustang base - but to Major Russell Stompler of
Langhorne PA, there is a marked similarity.
Maj. Stompler, a former instructor at the Mount Holly High School, now
heads the technical supply section of this high scoring Mustang outfit. His
principal duty is to see that the tools and weapons necessary to equip the
pilots and crews are placed in the proper hands with the utmost speed.
"But there is something familiar about the work," grinned the Major,
whose wife, Mrs. Evelyn Corts Stompler, resides at 344 South Bellevue Avenue,
Langhorne. "Back at Mount Holly High, my pupils used to be asking question
all the time, and it seems that a tech supply section spends a great deal of
time, too, answering questions like, for instance, "Major where are those end
wrenches I've been trying to get for two weeks?"
A graduate of Pennsylvania State College in 1931, the major entered
active service in June, 1941, and has been in the European Theatre for more
than a year. He held a reserve commission upon graduation for Penn State.

For over fifty years he had been a faithful worker and supporter for the church, and one of its most honored and faithful deacons. When possessed of good health he worked hard for his church, but for the past twelve years he had been in ill health and unable to do much active work, although he continued his financial help up to the time of his death. On Tuesday August 2, 1915, at 10 a.m. he passed to his eternal rest. The funeral was held at the home of his brother-in-law, T. P. Miller, of Fieldsboro, N. J. at 11 a.m. on Thursday, August 5th. the funeral was well attended by relatives and friends from all the surrounding towns. His pastor, Rev. R. N. Toms, conducted the funeral services and preached from 1 Corinthians XV: 51, 52 and a splendid mixed quartet sang three of the deceased's favorite hymns. The interment was in the Bordentown Cemetery. the widow, brother and two sisters and numerous relatives have the sympathy of the whole community. Nearly all of the relatives and friends returned to the home on request and partook of dinner with the family.

A small article from the Burlington Gazette December 13, 1884

The residence of John SILPATH, Esq., 49 York St., was the scene of unusual stir early this week. Messengers came carrying packages and within the house everybody was busy. All this preparation was due to the coming wedding of Miss Annie R. SILPATH which took place on Thursday morning at ten o'clock, the groom being William G. BAKER of Trenton. The Rev. EASTWOOD was the officiating clergyman and the ceremony took lace in the presence of members of the family only. After the marriage, the company adjourned to the dining room where a table was spread with most everything that could be named in the line of eatables. Of the quality of the cake, we can speak from experience. At 11.21 the newly wedded couple took the line for Trenton, where they dined at the residence of the groom's parents and late in the afternoon they went to their new home in Pamrapo, N.J. The bride received many handsome and useful presents, among them a large bible from her father. A number of friends of the family were at the depot at train time and showered rice and old shoes after the departing. Mrs. BAKER had taught at the schools of this city for quite awhile and she leaves hosts of friends, especially among her pupils.
