Hello, I was wondering if anyone had access to newspapers for Winchester for around 1917 ! My favorite great-uncle was Clinton KIDDER, and he was born in Winchester in 1907 ! His family (parents and 2 older siblings) were living in a house on Main Street around 1917. Clinton was reportedly Age 9 when he was standing outside of his home watching a building being built ! Suddenly a truck being driven by a drunk-driver barrelled down a hill and hit him ! As a result of the accident, Clinton lost an entire leg ! I would really love to be able to read the newspaper report of the accident, and find out if any photos were included with the article ! I believe I had written to both the Historical Society and the Library in the past, and have not really been offered any assistance. So, I believe I need to go spend a day at the Winchester Library - searching for the article myself ! But, I just thought I'd ask - in case anyone knew an alternate way for me to find the article ! Thank you for your time ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. Clinton's mother, my great-grandmother, Mrs. Louise (RICE) KIDDER, had "family" in Arlington, so there is a chance the "accident" might have been mentioned in the Arlington newspaper ! (HUTCHINSON and CROSBY family-tree of Winchester and Arlington ) What are the chances the accident would have been mentioned in one of the Boston newspapers?

Hi John, Thank you for all the work you are doing ! I've been reading different discussions about "the Tan Books" on the MA Lists for 6 months or so, but, just now, after reading your definition on the web site, realized that you were talking about the "Vital Records.." books for each town .. which are kept in the Local History Rooms in both the Billerica and Chelmsford Libraries ! I'm sorry I can't volunteer to do any work ! But, I wanted to mention that in both the Billerica and Chelmsford Libraries the cost of copying is 15 cents each page ! And, considering the size of what I call "the Vital Records books," it would be costly to copy them at the Library ! And, they are "reference books" so cannot be borrowed ! I would imagine that most Libraries in Greater Boston have a Local History Room where at least a small collection of the "Vital Records books" can be found ! I'm curious which cities have the largest collection ! I was at the Cambridge Public Library a couple years ago, and I seem to remember they had a large collection in their "Local History Room" on one of the top floors !

The Middlesex Observer, 7 December 1822 - Newspaper Abstracts. Deaths Died: 1822 Charlestown, N.H. Col. Asahel Hunt, officer of the revolutionary army, who gallantly distinguished himself in that glorious conflict. _http://www.rootsweb.com/~mamidnws/1822/DEC.html_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~mamidnws/1822/DEC.html) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subject: Col. Samuel Hunt & his son, Col. Asahel Hunt of Charlestown, N.H. Source: History of Charlestown, N.H., the old Fort No. 4 by Rev. Henry H. Saunderson, 1876 Colonel Samuel Hunt, father of Col. Asahel Hunt p.438 It was not until the opening of the Revolution that Samuel Hunt received his commission as Colonel. He was by then by the New Hampshire Government made Commandant at Charlestown, N.H. and keeper of the Military stores accumulated at the Post to be distributed to the army under the direction of the Committee of Safety, as it might have need of them. And a most energetic officer he proved to be in this position. And in connection with Elijah Grout, his prompt, superintending, distributing commissary did not fail to be equal to the duties demanded of him on any occasion. It was a stirring time, when Charlestown was made the rendezvous of the soldiers of Stark, as they were hurried forward to the battle of Benn- ington; yet such was the activity of Col. Samuel Hunt and his commissary that the various bodies of troops on their arrival were immediately supplied with their outfit, and made ready to pass on. Subsequent to the battle of Bennington, when New England was fully aroused, and vol- unteers from every part of New Hampshire continued to flock around the standard of the northern army, we find his name as Lieut. Colonel in a regiment, whose officers were as follows: Colonel Benjamin Bellows Lieut Col. Samuel Hunt Adjutant Samuel Ashley Sergeon's Mate, Thomas Stearns Quartermaster, Jotham White This regiment was at Saratoga under Gen. Gates and rendered important service in compelling the surrender of Burgoyne. Col. Samuel Hunt was one of the men in whom the Assembly of New Hampshire and the Committee of Safety felt they could place implicit confidence. After the Revolutionary War, Col. Samuel Hunt held the offices which have been already noted; and proved for the remainder of his life an excellent citizen. The following account of the death of Col. Samuel Hunt, and of the esteem in which he was held, is given by a contemporary: p.439 "Saturday, August 24, 1799. This morning, between twelve and one, my very respectable and worthy townsman, Col. Samuel Hunt left this vain world for a far better. He had been for a considerable time failing, so as to obstruct his further usefulness and comfort. He had been a very deserving and highly respected member of society. This town has experienced by his death a great loss as he has uniformly been a friend of peace and good order, and ever willingly devoted a handsome sum to the support of a preacher of the gospel. I greatly fear his loss in this last respect will not soon be made up to us. He was for many years a professor of religion and a constant attendant on the worship of God in the sanctuary so long as his health permitted. I sincerely wish his sons may follow in his good example. His remains were deposited in the grave in the afternoon of the Lord's day, attended by a large number of people from this and neighboring towns." - Dr. S.

Good afternoon, everyone. :-) For those of you who don't know me, I'm the county coordinator for Essex and Middlesex counties. Over the past several years, with the aid of many people, I've been working on getting the "Tan Book" series of vital records transcribed and online. I have always said that I would consider the job done if I got them done or I could get one of the pay sites to make theirs firee. The latter is soon to come to pass. I had a talk with the New England Historical and Genealogical Society (NEHGS). We have come to preliminary agreement. NEHGS is going to convert their database of the early vital records of Massachusetts from 1600-1849 to the format that I have been putting online. (For those unfamiliar with these, visit http://www.rootsweb.com/~maessex/VitalRecords.) These will be made entirely free to everyone. These will be indexed by both exact name and soundex. Indexing should still include year, or range of years. Hopefully, the indexing will go even further over time. Also, images of the book pages will be available. This is all still in the early planning stages. For instance, who is going to do the actual conversions - my transcribers and me or NEHGS? They have about 164 towns already done. When those are converted, it will still be necessary to transcribe the remainder, about 50 or so towns. The first steps are being made. NEHGS has begun scanning. They have already sent me all 3 volumes of the Gloucester vital records and they are online. This is in addition to what I already had up. It will depend on their volunteers and their other needs as to how fast they can scan the rest and send them to me. I think that this is going to be one of the biggest boons to those with New England roots in a very long time. Thank you.

Sent by the BARRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY (right top corner of page written by hand, 121 – copy sent appears to have been stuck (damaged) in copy machine and very hard to read) *none of these articles are dated. WILLIAM LAMBERT RUSSELL, M. D. Born Oct. 28, 1799 Died May 6, 1899 The death of DR. RUSSELL removes from Barre one of its ancient landmarks. The children of two generations remember him as one well advanced in years, and there are few living who can remember him as a young man. His friends – and all who knew him were his friends – fondly hoped that his life would round out a full hundred years, and that he would be privileged to enter the twentieth century as a survivor of the eighteenth, but it was not to be. Preserving his faculties to the last, to a remarkable degree, he gently fell asleep, on last Saturday, with the sleep which knows no earthly awakening. DR. RUSSELL was the eldest son of JAMES and MARY (BUTLER) RUSSELL, of Carlisle, Mass. There were three brother and one sister, of whom one brother survives him. He was a farmer’s boy, and he purchased a liberal education with hand toil and close economy. He attended Groton Academy, and taught his first school at seventeen years of age. He taught successfully for several terms, both before and after his graduation from Harvard (bottom of page missing from copy) of his death. He became principal of Lexington Academy in 1828; studied medicine with Doctors PROCTOR, of Lexington, DOANE, of Boston, and WYMAN of the McLean Asylum, and received the degree of M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1831. He then settled permanently in Barre, where he practiced medicine for twenty years. In 1836 he married MARY ANN, daughter of CALVIN and CAROLINE (CARTER) WARREN, of Hubbardston, who died in 1892, since which time he has been most tenderly cared for by his youngest daughter, MARIANNE and her husband MR. J. C. BARTHOLOMEW, at his own home. A son died in early childhood, and his eldest daughter, CAROLINE, wife of the late WILLIAM HOWLAND, of Lynn, died several years ago; her daughter, MISS BERTHA HOWLAND, of Cambridge, is DR. RUSSELL’s only surviving grandchild. DR. RUSSELL’s habits were domestic, and life for him was centered in his home, but he had excellent business qualities, and was conscientious in his professional, public and social duties. He was at the time of his death, and has been for many years, a director of the National Bank, and attended a meeting of the Board only a few days before his death, manifesting his usual keen interest in the proceedings. He served long and well as a member of the school committee, and is remembered by teachers and pupils who were under his jurisdiction, as one who scrupulously held them to high standards of work and scholarship. He maintained his interest in public affairs to the last, was well posted in foreign as well as domestic news, and was always on the side of good order and public improvements. He was a staunch Republican in politics, well versed in party principles, and never failed to vote. He was a Unitarian in religious faith, always ready to give reason for the hope that was in him, and devoutly attached to the First Parish society. Rarely was he absent from his place in church, until the infirmities of age made his attendance (missing bottom of page) subscriptions to the Christian Register. His loyalty to his church was a perfect as his loyalty to his party and his country. His memory will be cherished by the church and the parish, as fragrant with earnestness and brotherly kindness. An original member of Unity Club, he never lost his interest in it, and was present at its last meeting, genial and gracious to all, as was his habit. At home, in the social circle, or in the street, DR. RUSSELL was always the courteous gentleman. He was glad to greet his friends both old and young. He easily kept touch with the young: for the fountain of youth was perennial in his nature. Age could not wither his spirit; indeed it could hardly bend his body to do it homage. Temperate in all things. Active in habit, diligent in business, careful in conduct, Time laid his hand lightly upon him. He loved life, but death had no terrors for him. Doubtless he wished to live to be one hundred years old; but perhaps his friends and fellow townsmen desired it for him more than he cared for it himself. He was ready to enter upon life in new conditions, when the time should come. He would not hesitate to say that God’s time for him would be the right time, - the best time. And so, the children of his love, the friends of his old age, the fellow citizens whose respect he won and kept so long, while they regret that they shall see his face no more on earth, cannot fail to echo the words of (? ) written in memory of another life like his: (copy so poor and dark will not attempt) ends with initial, A. F. B. (This item appears to be another clipping with no heading) It is a pity that the life of the late DR. WILLIAM L. RUSSELL could not have been prolonged for at least six months more in order to have permitted him to complete the 100th year upon which he entered last October. This would have enabled Harvard University to reckon a continuation in the list of her oldest living graduates, which would have been something of a distinction on the score of longevity among the alumni. No one who met this venerable man in the later years of his life was able to realize that he was born in the last century. Almost up to the day of his death he was as alert, physically and mentally, as he was at threescore and ten. His death appears to have been as unlooked for as if his years had not far exceeded the limit of life allotted to man. It is again the unexpected that has happened, however, and the title of Harvard’s oldest living graduate passes on to the next alumnus in point of seniority. - Boston Herald. (Undated unnamed newspaper) The funeral of DR. W. L. RUSSELL was held from his late residence Wednesday, GEORGE W. COOK conductor and REV. A. F. BAILEY officiating. The pall bearers were L. G. ROGERS, A. G. WHEELOCK, GEORGE P. KING, CHAS. H. FOLLANSBY, DR. GEO. A. BROWN, and DR. HENRY J. WALCOTT, JR. Interment was in the family lot at Glen Valley. The floral tributes were elegant and profuse. As the funeral train started from the house the bell tolled a solemn requiem as the procession wended its way to the last resting place of him who in life had taken so deep and earnest an interest in all that pertained to its society. =====================================

Wendy, I checked the NEGHS databases and couldn't find anything. There was a Marie Dumont married in Lowell in 1903 and a Marie L. Champagne married in Pepperell in 1905. Images are not available for those records. There was a Wilfred Dumont married in Lowell in 1906. Page and volume numbers do not match with the same for either Marie. I also checked for a birth for William Dumont. Nothing. In fact, no Dumont birth in 1905 in the records they have done. There may be some other records, but these didn't work out. Good luck.

DR. WILLIAM LAMBERT RUSSELL, was my 2 great grandfather (GEORGE WASHINGTON RUSSELL's oldest brother). All five children were b. Carlisle, MA at the RUSSELL homestead on RUSSELL street. ======================================= Middletown, N.Y. Sept. 6, 1898 DR. WILLIAM L. RUSSELL, Barre Mass. Dear Sir: - - In the New York Sun of monday Sept. 5, I came across the following item, which as you will see, is copied from an Athol paper: MASSACHUSETTS MONAGENARIANS ON A LARK. From the Athol Transcript. JAMES RUSSELL of Lowell, aged 91, has been visiting his brother, DR. WILLIAM L. RUSSELL, aged 99, in Barre, and it is said that the boys had a great lark while together. They had a rollicking game of croquet, then took a round or two at whist. Then for livelier diversion they scampered off to the old "sopsy" apple yard tree in the orchard, the same of many a youthful depredation in the past, raced up the wide-spreading branches, and filled their pockets with the red streaked fruit. After that they concluded that a swim in the brook down on the meadow would be about the thing, and after a lively gambol in the sparkling waters, they strolled up to the barn for a frolic in the sweet smelling haymow. A tramp of about four miles after the cows, during which the boys picked ten quarts of blackberries, a corn roast in the evening, followed by a good old-fashioned shakedown in the kitchen and another round of whist, filled out a day long to be remembered by the RUSSELL boys. It leads me to ask you a few questions as to your genealogy. My grandfather, SIMEON RUSSELL, was born at Rindge, N. H., and died at Mount Upton, N.Y., 1872, at the age of 88 years. But his people went to New Hampshire from Massachusetts, the exact place I am unable to ascertain. Can you give me some facts about your ancestry, and if there ever was a SIMEON amongst your connections? I am sure that there are a great many RUSSELLs in your state. My uncle, DR. DWIGHT RUSSELL, practiced medicine for many years in Milford, Mass., and died there March 14, 1894. My father, ENOS RUSSELL, died at Brookfield, N.Y., Sept.16, 1893. My uncle, NEWTON RUSSELL, died at Lebanon, Oregon, April , 1891. These three sons were all the children of my grandfather. Before I close permit me to congratulate you on having attained the great age with which you are credited, and on having retained such a remarkable degree of physical and mental strength. Also I notice one chief characteristic which marks my RUSSELLs and that is an apparent fondness for the game of whist. Is is my own chief solace and amusement. Any facts which you may wish to furnish me will, I assure you, dear DR. RUSSELL, be gratefully received by Yours faithfully, /s/ ALEXANDER W. RUSSELL Box 1453, Middletown, N.Y. Item was sent to me by the: BARRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY P.S. Alas, there was no SIMEON RUSSELL in the RUSSELL boy's line. I am sure DR. RUSSELL's brother JAMES would have responded to this letter because he had done extensive RUSSELL research for years.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lewis, Shaw, McCavour, Bedell, Medeiros, Moura Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AFB.2ACE/1697.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi Janet. Thank you VERY much ! I was just about to e-mail another researcher who was heading to Boston this month and ask her to look up these marriages for me -- when I received your message ! I am very grateful ! It saves me a trip to the Boston area ! My family has wanted to know for a long time when our grandfather was married to his 2nd wife ! I had found out several months ago that our grandparents had divorced the end of 1935. But, this means that my grandfather and his 2nd wife didn't marry right away ! (But, they were "living together" for a while.) :o) The other MEDEIROS marriage is an important find for my friend, Bob's second cousin ! He lives in northern Maine and did not know when his parents had gotten married ! (His father died young.) Regarding the BEDELL / SHAW marriage, one of my newly found step-cousins thinks that Charles and Hazel "might" have married in New Brunswick. Mrs. Hazel (SHAW) McCAVOUR had already moved to MA around 1915-1917, but I suppose they could have made a trip to NB to marry. (Or, they could have stopped in Maine, I guess.) I will have to keep thinking about that one ! Enjoy your weekend ! Betty (near Lowell, MA)
