This past winter, Shipley had a chance to inspect the contents of the box more carefully. He found one piece of paper folded, and as he opened it, he realized he had found a treasure — a map pinpointing the location of each tree and who it was planted for.

Great story.

I grew up in Rahway. Alex Shipley’s wife was my 9th algebra teacher. The article doesn’t show a detail of the map. I can’t find it online.

I ran, rode my bike, or drove past those trees innumerable times without knowing their history.

All I see is some really bad Gannett pic. Maybe you could get some info from the Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum Association, Rahway American Legion Post 5, Rahway American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Unit 5 or the Union County Division of Parks and Recreation.
