Though born in Detroit, Michigan, he had no surviving family and was raised by a foster mother in Newark.

Before his final reenlistment, he lived on Dow Street in Belleville, both as a local firefighter.

During the brutal Battle of Belleau Wood in France on the night of June 13, 1914, Stockham's unit was subjected to a terrifying, concentrated bombardment of high-explosive and deadly mustard gas.

Stockham notices a severely wounded comrade whose gas mask had been shot away and shredded by artillery shrapnel.

Well, Gio, first, let me tell you something.

William H. Dunham owned a roadhouse on Washington Avenue in Belleville, New Jersey that catered to the roughest citizens of that town and was a noted stopping spot for sporting men and fast women from Newark and Passaic.

He owned a second roadhouse, referred to as the Upper House, near Nutley, which had an even worse reputation.

Dunham's own reputation was not so good either.

The New York police announced they were searching for a man named Patrick Burns, no relation to the inspector, who had recently moved in with Kate Dunham.

He'd allegedly called the side door of the roadhouse the night Dunham was shot.

Since the murder, Mrs. Dunham had sold the roadhouse in Belleville and was living with Burns in the Nutley Roadhouse.

Burns fled when he learned he was a suspect.

So give yourself plenty of extra time.

Belleville, this is new.

Main Street right near Terry Street, a dump truck knocked down a traffic signal, so we're going to have to get crews out there to fix that.

And we're also taking a look at that portal cutover work, which is ongoing until November 15th, so you definitely have to pack your patience, think of other ways maybe that you could get to work.

So Brittany, we're taking a look at the Van Wyck, and you can see that it is just bumper-to-bumper.

Continues to be this way, and that is because of construction both ways between Hillside Avenue and Main Street.

And then we're also taking a look at Main Street in Belleville, and this is at Terry Street.

This is a dump truck that knocked down a traffic pole, so that traffic signal is now down, so they have to get out there, and they have to get that cleaned up.

Yeah.

Either way, he's got an interesting story that's gonna wind its way through Ann Arbor, where I live; Chicago, where Tom and Cecil live; Belleville, New Jersey, where Eli lives-

Ooh

...

So-

What happened since then? [laughs]

Well, they continued being way better than Belleville, New Jersey.
