HOBOKEN, N. J.
THE HOBOKEN EXEMPTS,
The association of Exempt Firemen of Hoboken is one of the most substantial organizations in our little sister city. It is composed of some of the oldest and most respected citizens of the place. At its head is William Hersee, an old veteran of the New York Fire Department, having served his time out in Washington Engine 20 and Fulton Engine 21, before joining the Hoboken Department. The act to incorporate the association was passed by the Legislature of the State in 1863, and was organized with such men as Theodore Van Tassell, Thomas Micken, James Houseman, W. G. Sheppaid, Andrew Mount, W. H. Willson, Peter Ritter, and John M. Board, the latter being the first President.
