     Aaron A Turse was a Constable, County Sheriff's Office, Hackensack, Bergen, and a house painter. The 1910 census lists Aaron A Turse and Sarah A at Westwood, NJ, with their son Aaron, Jr.⁵ The 1915 census lists Aaron A Tures and Sarah A, with Aaron A Tures Jr. and pres. his wife Mary A Tures.⁶ The 1920 census lists Aaron A Turse at Westwood, NJ, with his son Aaron, Jr.⁷
     The first Marshall of Westwood Borough, he also served as a volunteer fireman, a member of the Board of Education, and as a member of the Board of Health. In his later years he was a deputy sheriff, and served at the court house in Hackensack. Apparently when young, he also worked as a painter (at the age of 24 according to the 1880 census). The 1880 census has him living in Washington Township.
     He was active in the community and well known locally, and often included in local news. One of the more unusual stories of the times, in October 1885, Westwood was struck by a forceful tornado. It tore up the new school house for which the village had just paid $5,000, crushing it and carrying off all but the floor timbers. Aaron saw the roof of the schoolhouse go, and grabbed two children and Sarah and ran into the yard to cling to a large tree in the yard. The village church was torn from its foundations and lifted 30 feet into the air. Barns were leveled and houses destroyed. The tornado tore a path about 200 feet wide and nearly two miles long.
(Chester Times, 5 Oct 1885, Archive)
     Shortly after the official incorporation of the town as the Borough of Westwood on May 8, 1894, Mayor Isaac D. Bogert appointed the first two true law enforcement Officers in the newly formed Borough. Aaron Tuers and Genest Housman were officially appointed as Marshals and tasked primarily with the enforcement of a bicycle ordinance. Their compensation was $2.00 of each $5.00 fine levied against offenders. This system of compensation was certainly not perfect and sometimes required improvisation on behalf of the original Mayor and Council. On one occasion, when two men were found cycling on the sidewalks and did not have money to pay the fines, one of their bicycles was confiscated. The record does not indicated whether the Marshals or the treasury suffered the loss when the Mayor was unable to sell the bicycle for more than $8.00 to cover the two fines a few months later. Aaron remained a Marshall for a few more years, until the early 1900's. (Source: Westwood PD History)
