Bloomfield, old and new : an historical symposium . dier was killed by the discharge ofhis own nmsket while attempting to climb the fence nearthe Farrand house. This story is confirmed by theaccount, given years ago by Jasper King, of the marchthrough Bloomfield in the winter of 1779 of GeneralAnthony Waynes troops. Wayne had been encampedat the present Forest Hill, in the vicinity of the SecondRiver, and had been ordered to remove to Morristown.The soldier, it is said, climbed the fence to see if theBritish were coming, which seems to have been a ratherfoolish move anyway looked at. Jasper Kings storymay be found in Hiness Woodside. The old Thomas Cadmus homestead, still standing onWashington Avenue, west of Toneys Brook, and calledto-day Washingtons headquarters, gets its reputationfrom a single tradition. The story is that HermannsCadmus, whose father Thomas owned the place, wastaken on Washingtons knee in cherry time, and that hewas about four years old at the time. A modem critichas scouted this cherry-tree story. He has said that. o Q o X H BLOOMFIELD, OLD AND NEW 41 when Washington was in Bloomfield it was bleak No-vember, and presumably only canned fruit obtainable.Nevertheless, Hermanus Cadmus, born December 7, 1774, told the late John Oakes this personal experiencewith Washington and Mr. Oakes told it to the writer.The critic evidently thinks only of Washingtons re-treat in the fall of 1776, and forgets that he must havepassed through this locality a number of times. There is reason to suppose that Washington couldhave been in Bloomfield when cherries were ripe in 1780.Hermanus Cadmus would have been five years old at thattime. After the engagement at Springfield the Britishleft the State. Washington soon began to move histroops toward the Hudson. He was at Whippany onJune 25th, and two days later he arrived at Ramapo.On the evening of June 25th, or the next morning, hecould have been at the Cadmus house and right in themidst of cherry-picking.
