Jersey Journal/1963/Widow Has 18 Days to Find Home

Widow Has 18 Days to Find Home. Mrs. Deesa Rose today was in an 18-day race between her real estate man and the courts. Arthur O. Freudenberg is searching for a new home for Mrs. Rose, a 64-year-old widow. If she doesn't leave 117 Newkirk Street, Jersey City, within 18 days she must explain why in court. Deputy Sheriff Joseph Jordan finally succeeded in serving an eviction notice on the woman. He induced a friend of Mrs. Rose to knock on the door. She received a summons Wednesday answerable in 20 days. Mrs. Rose, whose determination rebuffed a crew of wreckers tearing down the two story frame house in which she barricaded herself, says the won't leave until her real estate an finds her a "suitable place to live." She sold the house for $18,000 to the Newkirk Realty Corp., which has been stymied in its demolition plans. But asking Mrs. Roth whether she will leave if the summons comes due before Freudenberg comes through is a difficult question. Yesterday she hammered 10-penny nails into her door. And she isn't in a talkative mood.
