The Wiss Family Houses in Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ

Initially the patriarch, Frederick C.J. Wiss summered in Bradley Beach, then moved to Avon-by-the-Sea in the mid-teens. His sister-in-law was also there. The next generation followed, though all of that generation had to sell their houses in the 1930s depression. [Exactly when is unclear.] The grandchildren then stayed on the third floor at FCJ Wiss's house.

Prior to Avon they rented or owned in Bradley Beach. Presumably this was before 1913. This address is also listed for Robert Wiss & Laura Reininger Wiss. FCJ was here in 1917, according to a donation of knitted items reported in The Asbury Park Press. He was likely also here in 1918. Now at Zillow.

Next Generation

Norman F. Wiss [Sr] & Mildred Sommer Wiss: 101 Lincoln Ave

Built by them, sold in the depression of the 1930s. Originally had salt marsh behind it. (House has an Extreme flood risk of 9/10, though that likely doesn't account for the hill the house is set on. And the house may not have a basement.) Now with front dormer, porches connected across the front, and an addition across the back. Now at Zillow. See five pictures.

Jerome (Buck) Baker Wiss & Grace Valentine Wiss: 32 Lincoln Ave

Just west of #26. Sold a year or two after Norman Wiss sold their house in the 1930s depression. Now at Zillow. See three pictures.

J. Robert Wiss & Laura Reininger Wiss: 36 Sylvania Ave.

He sold about when Jerome sold. Now at Zillow.
