GUEST,NJ librarian	Lyr Req: Jim Wainwright murder ballad (4)	Jim Wainwright murder ballad	09 Dec 04
We are looking for the words to a ballad that was written in 1884 about the murder of Jim Wainwright by Elson Rockwell. It occurred in Toms River NJ in that year. According to the local paper, "It was sung as a ballad by Big Bill Estelle, and reprinted in Pamphlet form, and sold on newsstands all over the country" However, I can find nothing either in this library's collection, nor in the New Jersey Historical Society. Would anyone on this forum be able to help us? Pat W.
