The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, April 16, 1886 Ludlow 4/16/1886 My wife, Nellie M. JOHNSON, having left my bed and board without just cause, all persons are hereby forbidden harboring or trusting her on my account, as I shall pay no debts of her contracting. Charles M. JOHNSON, Ludlow, vt., April 5th, 1886 J. A. DENNETT has been in Boston, this week. H. L PETTY is visiting his sister in Athol, Mass. Frank CREASER is again "down" with rheumatism. The blackbird and the peep-frog have arrived. Mrs. M. W. LEE is visiting in Rutland, for a few weeks. William B. HORWILL and wife have gone to Springfield, Mass. Straw hats are in bud; several blossomed out, Wednesday. The May Festival chorus met with Mrs. M. H. GODDARD, Monday. His father's illness calls Harlan EARLE home from Rutland, again. Hiram KNIGHT of Meriden, Conn., is spending a day or two in town. Judge HINES is repainting and also somewhat remodeling his residence. W. F. SMITH occupies the upper tenement in William RUSSELL's house. Gentle Spring seems to have brought her trunk with her, this time. B. F. WHELDEN is preparing for an extension to his house--back kitchen, etc. Mrs. Fred THOMPSON and son are visiting her parents, in West Windsor. The family of J. A. POLLARD of Brandon were guests of friends here, last week. H. A. PLOOF and John GOVE have moved into Louis LAMERE's house, on Pond street. Messrs. SARGENT and RAYMOND were home from Tufts College over Fast Day and Sunday. D. G. WILEY of Indianapolis, Ind., got off the train here, yesterday, en route to his Western home. Austin WAKEFIELD is back from Gaysville, temporarily, to look after his property interests in town. Miss Grace NEWCOMB of Boston has been the guest of L. G. HAMMOND and family, the past week. Mrs. Hannah WHITCOMB will move from Jonas DUNN's house into the upper rooms of Mrs. S. S. CLARK's house. Mrs. V. E. MOORE of Springfield, Mass., has spent a few days here with her father, Issac POLLARD, the past week. Miss Ella G. WHITE of Mechanicsville has been engaged to teach in the intermediate department in the village schools. Stanford MITCHELL of Boston will deliver the Memorial-Day address here, and the Weston band will probably furnish music. A. A. CHASE has a job at the BATES farm, on Twenty-mile Stream, more improvements being projected at that charming place, this season. John KEATING is packing up, preparatory to moving to Stamford, Conn., where he will open a combined billiard room and barber-shop. Rev. A. J. AUBREY of Meriden, Conn., will again conduct the services in the Universalist church. L. G. HAMMOND is converting a portion of his "riverside park" into an egg-factory that will combine all the modern improvements and probably give him the inside track on this commodity. Fred ROBBINS, for several years in the employ of L. G. HAMMOND, has gone to New Britain, Conn.k to fill a clerkship in a dry-goods house in that city. Fred is a good straight boy, and will "get on" in the "Land of Steady Habits" if he don't get cloyed on nutmegs at the outset. An "unloaded" musket of the G. A. R. armament went off with a bang, Wednesday night, while some of the S. of V.'s were fooling with it at their headquarters, tearing a hole in the ceiling and spreading consternation and plaster among the boys. Of coursed the boys didn't know its condition. There was a row on Depot street, Sunday night, in which W. B. HORWILL got a very black eye at the hands of Tim HORAN. Rum was the primary cause of the trouble, which, while HORAN gets the lion's share of the blame, was evidently not all upon one side. All the complaint HORWILL makes is that Tim didn't come out very much ahead, if he did have only an old man over seventy years of age, and minus one arm, to deal with. The domestic horizon in that vicinity seems to have cleared, however, and peace to have returned to the joint abode of the combatants. The announcement of the Rutland HERALD, Wednesday morning, that S. W. STIMSON of this place had been appointed a special liquor prosecutor, was a surprise to fully 90-100ths of our people. The HERALD, however, is a little "off" the exact truth--Mr. STIMSON is appointed special CRIMINAL prosecutor. Herrick WOODWARD was taken with bleeding at the nose, Wednesday morning, so copiously and persistently that his life was for a time despaired of , the hemorrhage resisting all efforts of suppression for several hours. He was "comfortable," at last reports, and hopes of his recovery are entertained. At a meeting of Black River lodge, No. 85, F. & A. M., on motion of Bro. H. M. JOHNSON, P. M. resolutions were adopted on the deaths of E. H. BRIGGS and D. H. PARKER, deceased. Quite a breeze was raised, Wednesday evening, by the raiding of the Ludlow House by officers L. C. HOWE and A. L. GOOLD, and G. S. BRIDGE, in search of intoxicants, on a warrant issued at the instance of prosecuting officer STIMSON. It is perhaps needless to say that none of the ardent was found, though traces of the "might have been" were plentiful in the shape of casks, etc., bearing the stamp and smell of departed spirits. There are theories and theories to account for the failure of the search, the most tenable one being that the publication of the appointment of STIMSON was taken as a danger-signal, and promptly acted upon. Howbeit, the reputation of indiscriminate dealing in the stuff could not be so easily disposed of. That liquor has been sold there in a disgracefully prodigal and conscienceless manner, for months, has been an open secret that even the blindest could not ignore; and the promptness with which the new official takes hold indicates that it will not be ignored any longer. Officer HOWE was busy a good part of the day, yesterday, serving subpoenas upon divers parties supposed to be filled with information they are bursting not to tell, who will be given a chance before Justice E. A. HOWE, this morning, at Village hall, to tell how little they know on this important matter. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT

Whatever the actual meaning, it surely does not depict either a good death or a happy marriage!!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Darrell A.

Hi: One of the definitions of "harried" is: "To disturb or distress by, or as if by, repeated attacks." Today, the idea of repeated attacks behind the verb "harry" has been mostly limited to things that do not cause physical injury. However, the original meaning *was* physical. Since a cause of death of "murder" was never something to make light of, you can discard the idea that mere nagging was what was meant. I would interpret this as what we would call "abuse" today; repeated physical attacks, perhaps none individually enough to be serious but cumulatively devastating.

Sylvia: A number of TMG users are happily running on Macs, using emulation software. To the program, it is running in Windows. I do not have any personal experience with that approach. There is no Mac-native version of TMG. TMG is the Lamborghini of genealogical software. It has some quirks, and ease of use is not its strong suit -- for its advanced features, anyway. But if rigorous documentation of your research is important, in my opinion there is no real competition. Darrell

Laurie I've used GeditCom I for several years. See http://www.geditcom.com/. It is excellent for Macs and saves to .ged, a universal format (like text files) that can be opened by any program (on any platform) that reads this format. The files share nicely. The program is inexpensive but will satisfy rigorous research . The current version is GeditCom II and I plan to update soon. This is not a big corporation and if you want to, you can talk directly to the author. best regards Ken Rumery [looking for information about Davkd Rumery of Jonathan Starks Company, VT 1813.] ------------------- Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2011 16:32:32 -0800 From: "Laurie D" <[email protected]> Subject: [VERMONT] Imac A Question I just bought a new IMac for "desktop" and I was wondering what is the best software for Geneagoly to get for the Imac.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, February 12, 1886 General State News 2/12/1886 More small-pox has appeared just over the line from North Troy. The duties collected at St. Albans during last month amounted to $18,274.53. A pension of $4 a month, with $1004.47 arrears, has been granted to G. W. PERRIN of Barre. On cutting open a pumpkin, recently, Mrs. O. A. GROW of Evansville found three seeds with sprouts and leaves started. A Bennington man owns a United States silver dollar of the coinage of 1804, which is worth about $2,000 in the numismatic market. An over-heated stovepipe set fire to a partition in A. S. WILL's house in Tunbridge, last Friday, and the house came near burning to the ground. A little son of E. BECK of Westmore came near losing his life, recently, by biting off the head of an earthen dog, which lodged in his throat and was got out with difficulty. Bellows Falls, Putney and Chester join Brattleboro in protesting against Silas M. WAITE's release. One family in Putney lost upward of $24,000 through his peculations. The Passumpsic railroad company will put seven of their locomotives into coal burners as fast as possible. These locomotives will run on the "air line" and through freight trains. Mrs. HADLEY of Monroe recently killed a hen and found in its crop 21 brass shoe eyelets, a whit button used on an underskirt, a brass ring, and a variety of pins and needles. Ma.colm CRAWFORD, son of Henry CRAWFORD of Putney, 10 years old, while coasting, Wednesday morning of last week, was thrown against a stone post so violently as to break his leg. In Bethel several fine blocks and houses have been put up the past year, and it is estimated that $35,000 has been spent on buildings, while several new blocks hare to be put up this year. Chester NILES of Morrisville lost a horse, Wednesday of last week. While in the woods loading up, the pole strap broke, letting the sled forward in such a way that the horse's legs were broken. Charles BROCKINGTON was severely burned about the face, hands and arms, Saturday, in RANDALL's factory, Brattleboro, by the igniting of a quantity of oil used in tempering knitting-machine needles. Chester MILLS of West Topsham came near losing a span of horses, last week, by their breaking through the ice on his mill-pond, but fortunately they were rescued with the help of a yoke of oxen. H. N. LAMPMAN of White River Junction, made a misstep and fell from the train while it was going a the rate of 30 miles an hour, but fortunately he was not seriously injured, although thrown a long distance. The Vermont International Telegraph company, whose line runs from Lunenburgh to Swanton, 120 miles, is said to be the only telegraph company in the United States that pays dividends on its original stock. Deacon ABBOTT's son of East Cabot and a young man from Barre were out on Sunday morning, recently, shooting at a target. Missing their aim, the bullet entered the deacon's best cow in the stable, and they were obliged to kill her. James W. CARVER's shooting, at Pawlet, Saturday, caused much interest. Sportsmen from New York state called on CARVER and wanted to see some of his off-hand shooting. CARVER took a small hen's egg, blacked it and set it up so that it could not be broken except by the ball's hitting it. The egg was set up 200 yards away. CARVER took his muzzle-loader and shot at the egg off-hand. The ball barely grazed the egg, but the second shot hit it in the center. CARVER performs this feat with ease. CARVER is a relative of Dr. CARVER, the champion glass-ball shooter. There is the greatest religious revival ever known, in progress at Peacham. Under the work of Rev. Mr. WHITTIER, 175 have already been converted, and the meetings are crowded. All church and neighborhood difficulties have been wiped out, and good feeling reigns throughout the town. Owing to the giving away of a staging, Daniel COLLINS of Springfield, mass., fell from the iron bridge in progress at Winooski, a distance of 14 feet, striking his head on the corner of an upright plan, fracturing the skull.

LANDON of Montpelier has been elected 1st vice-president of the Central Vermont railroad company and chairman of the finance committee. Edward C. SMITH of St. Albans has been elected 2d vice-president. He has been connected with President SMITH's office for some time. Herbert BRAINERD of St. Albans has been appointed general baggage agent, to succeed C. B. SWIFT, deceased. At a meeting of the trustees of the Soldiers' Home, held in Burlington, January 20th, the president and secretary were directed to solicit proposals from towns, societies, Grand Army posts, and individuals, for such aid as they may be pleased to make towards purchasing, erecting, location, or maintaining a Soldiers' Home in Vermont. Communications should be addressed to William WELLS, President, Burlington, Vt. The persistent jail-breaking BROWNs, father and son, who escaped from Newport jail, a week ago, were captured in Canada, Thursday, by local officers, and while being transported to the Broome county (P. Q.) jail by way of Richford, were arrested by Vermont officers and returned to Newport jail again. When the pair escaped they left letters behind warmly thanking the jailer for his kindness and also stating that they had no fault to find with the jail. (Mighty nice of 'em, doncha think? Shows they got good manners and are appreciative of the jailer's hospitality. Can't understand why they left if the accommodations were so desirable. RHB) Charles St. PETER, a boy 15 years old, whose father lives on the farm of L. A. & A. A. DREW in South Burlington met with a serious accident, last Saturday. He started for the woods, about a quarter of a mile distant, with a hand-sled and an axe, and when he reached the hill, about half way to the woods, he got on the sled to take a slide. When part way down the hill the sled tipped over, throwing the boy off so that the blade of the axe struck him on one of his thighs, close to his body, inflicting a serious wound.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, February 12, 1886 Here and There 2/12/1886 The wollen company of North Hartland manufactured and shipped 75 cases, containing over 40,000 yards of full cloth, during the month of January. Rutland has finally decided to help the village trustees out of a ditch, and has voted $2,000 with which to light and protect the town through the year. A Troy firm which manges three shirt factories in different towns in New York, have been at Rutland to see about starting a large shirt factory there. O. N. WARDWELL at Judge WHEELER's steam mill in Jamaica is taking in logs at the rate of about 10,000 feet a day, and cutting them out almost as fast as received. Public-spirited Rutland women are pushing forward a scheme to establish a free public library in the village. By a cave-in at the north quarry of the Vermont marble company, at West Rutland, Wednesday, Edward COPPS, machine foreman, was killed, Napoleon VOUDETTE had a leg broken, and several other workmen were badly bruised. Arrangements have been made, and Gov. PINGREE will sometime during this month deliver an address at Whit River Junction in the interest of the Grand Army post, and Col. S. M. PINGREE will deliver one with the same object at Hartford village during the same month. H. H BRANSHAW has been appointed postal clerk on the route from Essex Junction to Boston. BRANSHAW tried to get another route, but was appointed on this when Henry P WILKINS was debarred on account of his age. Since BRADBURY resigned the regular clerks have done the additional work and will be glad to be relieved. Mr. BRANSHAW's appointment is in recognition of the French element in the Democratic ranks. RUTLAND HERALD At South Wallingford, Tuesday afternoon, E. A. FULLER lost a yoke of oxen. He was going down the hill near the depot, when the drag-chain broke, letting the load on to the oxen, one of which was thrown into the ditch and its neck broken; a leg of the other was broken necessitating its killing. A confidence woman registered at a Rutland hotel as Mrs. G. B. SCRIPTURE, was arrested, last week. She worked as a servant in Bennington, four days before going to Rutland, and in that time stole $100 in cash, a note for $150, and much clothing. She was taken to Bennington for larceny. She has operated in Brattleboro and other places. The house and barns of W. L. WHITE of Grafton were burned, Wednesday night, 3d inst. The fire caught in the L and had gained such headway that there was on chance for the family to save anything besides their clothing. They lived some distance from any neighbors, and badly froze their hands and feet, the night was so cold. The loss will be about $1,000, insured in the Vermont Mutual.

I'm also on Family Tree Maker software for Mac computer (Apple) and so far am very pleased with it. (I haven't yet read the whole instruction book or completed Program instruction so I am not truly experienced with it.) It is comparatively easy to get around in it and, connected with Ancestry.com, with a click on a Census, marriage info, photos, another's Tree, the information is attached to your Tree. Very handy and makes genealogical life allot easier. FTM for Mac is very new and I am among the first wave that bought one and so far so good, but FTM has been around a long time for Desktop. Before purchasing FTM, I took advantage of Reunion's try-out period. For my needs, it wasn't as easy to get around on and I didn't like the "hanging names" or Trees, but I am sure other more computer savvy researchers are better off. I think both of these genealogical software programs and others not mentioned here have Try-Out periods which might be just the thing to do for those who are making this decision.
