Thanks for digitizing and posting a copy of this obituary, Tom. It has helped us to confirm the identity and period of manufacture for potteryware backstamped MADE IN TRENTON, N.J. BY WM. EXTON.. Until running across this page and your interesting website we were unable to locate any historical information about pottery bearing Mr. Exton's name. Please keep up this good, and important, work! Sincerely, Bill.Beth.Burkett@cox.net
