I recall hearing about a model town composed of old stores and houses from towns all across Vermont. My recollections was that it was call Sherburne Village (but that may be incorrect). Anyway, when my father was very old he visited this "village" and thought he was seeing something out of the "Twilight Zone." He grew up in Barre and went to Dr. Jarvis for eye glasses. Apparently the developers of this model village had recreated Dr. Jarvis' office right down the tiniest detail. Dad walked in the place and knew he had been there, only it should have been in Barre as far as he knew. He was spooked! This was the same Dr. Jarvis who wrote a book about Arthritis.

I really like reading these posts. Are there any such posts for Barre or Northfield? My father was born in Barre in 1899 and it would be interesting to read what was going on in the area when he was growing up. My grandmother Maud DUNHAM was from Northfield. Her father had a granite shed for a while - that granite work in interesting. I recall my father taking me up to one of the pits and telling me how it worked. That must have been in the early or mid 1950s. Again, thanks for all the posts!

Her horse started on without them, and ran as far as Jerry ROUNDS', where he was caught by Elmer, but, strange to say Mrs. C. was not hurt, or the sleigh broken.

The lower schools were compelled to adjourn, Monday morning, until afternoon, without a session, owing to the smoke pouring into the rooms from the furnace. Mrs. M. E. WHITMAN has moved the portable photograph gallery from its old foundation to the rear of E. A. HALL's blacksmith-shop, and will give up the business.

The Episcopalians realized about ninety-five dollars at their festival, Wednesday evening. A large number of fancy articles were sold, and there was a very large attendance considering the very bad night. G. P. SPAULDING guessed nearest to the number of beans in a bottle, his guess being 565, the number being 563. Geo. S. ROBBINS and George McINTYRE guessed nearest the weight of the cake.
