I have found histories of Meriden and Wallingford at my UCONN library...filled with Ives names. They are also for sale on broadviewbooks.com. Too expensive for me and I have a great resource nearby in my library. The Silver Centenniel Meriden History by Gillespie was great! I'm still looking for new books with Ive stories..of course there is alot about Charles Ives, the composer and insurance man from HArtford..(and a Charles Ives Center out in Danbury, Ct.)..a distant cousin of ours....I'm interested in Edgar van Buren Ives of Meriden..some of his ancestors were merchants...

> > Barry... Thank you for that great information! > > Wonder if it was an EL NINO year.. That much water in > the middle of the summer must have been a shock! ...r.e. ":freshets" or "flooding", I couldn't help but send you this rather maudlin description of my 4th-great grandfather Beri Tuttle's untimely death in the Quinnipiac river, New Haven County, to show you how much of a problem this part of Connecticut had with flooding: Beri Tuttle of Wallingford, Connecticut, died May 11, 1807, from unusual circumstances leading to his drowning death in the Quinnipiac River. Unusually heavy flooding threatened the nearby bridge and its approaches. Seeing one individual caught in the current under the bridge, a second swam to his aid. Mr. Tuttle, seeing both swept away, dove in to save them, and as the other two clung to him, they all drowned together. Source: Tuttle, George Frederick; THE TUTTLE FAMILY; Tuttle & Co., Rutland VT c.1883.

In years gone by, we ( in the north east U.S.) got a great deal of snow every winter. It wan not unusual that the snow banks (where the snow fall had to be pushed back by snow plows to open roads, etc.) would be as high as six to eight feet. The amount of snow that fell could be 4 or 5 feet high at any point in time during the winter. When the snow began to melt in the early weeks of spring, the snow would melt faster than it could run off the roads, fields etc. Therefore the banks of the rivers, streams, would flood. The water from the melt would go in areas that were low and creat new "little trickles, streams and rivers" for a week or two. Because there were no banks such as streams and rivers have, the would create flooded areas in scattered areas such as fields, roads, areas leading to rivers and streams. These "little streams" were where called freshets. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 11:04 PM Subject: Re: [CTNEWHAV] Bemis Sanitarium?

Barry... Thank you for that great information! Wonder if it was an EL NINO year.. That much water in the middle of the summer must have been a shock! Someone found the Bemis Sanitarium for me in NY State. It provided "Eye Treatments", pretty well clinching the Diabetes theory. The Sanitarium was not built until 1895, so now both mysteries have been solved. What a wonderful research tool the web is, when such nice folk are so generous with their information..

Pat What's a freshet exactly? Never heard that word before. Thanks! Penny Hardcastle UK

Has anyone heard of the "Bemis Sanitarium"? The reference below is from an undated letter written on a July 28, between 1886 and 1895, from Naugatuck. I have no idea where the sanitarium was located. It would help immensely to know what "ailment" this sanitarium treated - mental or physical.. "Alice has been and got back she says it is the biggest humbug she ever struck she made up her mind there was no help for her there she would get home as soon as she could it's 6 or 10 dollars a week for board and $10 a week for treatment people are staying hoping against hope that they will be benefited after a while" >From an 1895 letter: "Alice complains about her feet thinks she shant be able to use them by and bye". Whether that is anything but a coincidence is uncertain. We have surmised that "Alice" had a "problem", but have had no luck determining what it was. Does the following ring a bell with anyone? Perhaps it was notable enough to be recorded? I would really like to date this letter... "We have had two freshets in two weeks and they have raised the mischief with Chimneys and gardens the streets in Waterbury were washed to peices they said it would take twenty thousand dollars to put it back in shape again we have got a northeast storm now when will it end" (Excerpt later in the letter says now 3 freshets in 3 weeks..)
