Mattys and his wife belonged to the church on the Green" at Hackensack, and most of their progeny were baptised there, but not their first child and eldest daughter, the only record of whose birth appears to be in the Van Vorst Bible, copied on a following page. The will of Mattys was proved 1759, and showed that he possessed large properties at his death.

Freddie, 6-year-old son of Henry Lasser, Run Over On Center Street
People on Center Street, near Dr. Abell's were horrifed yesterday to see a 6-year-old son of Henry Lasser, living at 214 West Marion street, fall beneath the wheels of a passing stone wagon belonging to the Rogan quarry. The child, Freddie, was picked up and it was found the wagon had passed over his left leg, near the knee, crushing it badly, but the boy was made easy as possible, and it is hoped that the limb can be saved

Run Over By A Stone Wagon
The little 6-year-old son of Henry Lasser, the brewmaster of Porter's brewery, was run over by a stone wagon at the corner of Center and Exchange streets yesterday afternoon. One of his legs received a compound fracture just above the knee.
A playmate carried the little fellow into the house of Dr. Abell near by and an examination of the injuries was made. They proved to be of a most serious nature and the physician was afraid amputation would be necessary. He is doing all in his power to save the boy's leg.

Daily News 8/2/1895
Poor little Freddie Lasser, the boy who was run over by a stone wagon Wednesday evening, found an end to his suffering this morning at 3 o'clock when death came to his relief. Coming under such terrible circumstances the blow is more grievous than death from sickness, and sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon.
