Hello K.B.Bottles,

I found William R. Jernee in the 1880 census for New Brunswick, NJ His occupation listed as of "manufacturer soda". He was born in 1852 inN.J. as were his parents. Since there is no census for 1890, it must have been during that time he was in Spring Lake. In the 1900 census, his wife Abbie and son William, Jr. lived in the county of Essex, I can't read the city. Abbie was a school teacher and Wm. Jr. had no occupation listed so I presume he had died by then.

I hope this helps in dating your bottles.

Regards,

Marjorie
