Vermont Journal, Windsor, Saturday, July 12, 1884 Brattleboro News Mr. Edward CROSBY has begun a libel suit against Rev. Lewis GROUT of West Brattleboro for $10,000 damages on account of Mr. GROUT's letter published in the Reformer some weeks ago on the railroad question in which serious charges were made or insinuated against Mr. CROSBY and his methods and motives in attempting to secure a vote of aid for the Brattleboro & Bennington road from the town. This suit, however, has nothing to do with the railroad question, but is an individual matter with Mr. CROSBY for the protection of his private character. Attachments have been placed on Mr. GROUT's property and service of the papers has been made upon him. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

Hi Ed, Can you give us any idea what you are looking? Bill

I'm new to this list, I've been told that Northern Vermont rather than New York State is where I should be looking for some of my French ancestors coming down from Quebec. I'm looking for the surnames of Rochelle, Larochelle or even Gautron dit Rochelle for my Maternal French GGGrandfather Cassimer Rochelle. I'm also looking for a Joseph Fagnant, Fagnan, Fanyou or Fanyon in the 1830s or even 1840s. Ed Hagerty Monroe, CT

If you want to be simultaneously amused and baffled, just read some late 1800s newspaper accounts of baseball games (the ones that describe the course of the game, not just the box scores). Every position had about two dozen nicknames, as did every kind of play or pitch. And the writers seem to have been determined not to repeat any one of those terms more than any of the others....

Make your plans accordingly The Randolph municipal building is being expanded. All staff will be headqaurtered in a temporary place. The town clerk indicates to me that she will be taking ALL vital records and land records back to 40 years ( that's how far back one needs to go say for a title search to purchase property. Joyce, the clerk indicates to me that with forewarning, she has been assured she can get into the building during the work-off hours to get some particular book. They have to be out by end April, so I assume that they will be spending some of April packing up. If there is approval, where they want to go, they will be closer to the Interstate. However, it is NOT within walking distance for me, so I'll not be availabe to do any search. In the end this project is to be for all the good! Thanks, Harriet, Randolph

http://healthvermont.gov/research/records/obtain_record.aspx For the fist time I have ordered a document on-line to the Vermont vital record dept. in Middlesex. I was a bit leery as I was looking for a marriage record, that happened in 1819.... early for Vermont. Time went on and I thought I would have to call to see what's up. I received it just now, making it almost a month, so there is HOPE! This, BTW, is the last piece of paper that I need for DAR app. But for the most part they all trace back to Norwich, Vermont. Yippee! Harriet, Randolph

At the proper moment the crust of the pie flew open and another very animated blackbird hopped out. The blackbirds were little girls in black costumes representing birds and besides the novelty of their appearance their dancing was very attractive. Sylvia FRENCH was the blackbird who came out of the pie and the others were Elizabeth SPENCER, Gladys HOLDEN, Dorothy SCHWENK, Susan GRAFFAM, Dorothy GRAFFAM, Ruby UPHAM, Ruth WILDER, Ruth SARGENT, Evelyn HARRIS, Helen PIERCE, Sylvia CROSBY, Pauline JACOBS, Charlotte HILDRETH, Marion MAYNARD.

The Vermont Phoenix, Brattleboro, Friday, January 16, 1891 Windham news News was received by teegraph last week Wednesday, from New Mexico, of the death of Henry G. HOWARD, of pneumonia. The remains arrived Saturday at Bellows Falls, accompanied by Mrs. HOWARD, who was Miss Emmma WHITMAN of Londonderry, and arrived here Sunday morning. The funeral was held in the afternoon at ht echurch, Rev. Mr. BECKWITH officiating. Mr. HOWARD was recovreing from his accident of ten weeks ago, and was so as to be about on crutches, when attacked by pneumonia. He had been in New Mexico 19 years upon a cattle ranch. During the last ten years he had been superintendent for the company, which owned a large range and some 8000 head of cattle. The details in managing such a ranch are complicated and numerous, but through Mr. HOWARD's careful management and untiring energy, the company is considered to be on sure footing, although other companies have failed on account of the decrease in value of cattle during the last few years. L. W. RICHARDSON and wife and two children of Boxborok Mass., A. W. J. WILKINS and wife of Putney, Asa WHITMAN of Brattleboro, Frank SPARROW of Londonderry, relatives were present at the funeral, also a large number of former associates and friends of the deceased. Harlan P. HOWARD remained inNew Mexico to settle some affairs, and will come east soon. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

The Vermont Phoenix, Brattleboro, Friday, January 16, 1891 Wilmington news An entertainment was given at the town hall on Saturday evening for the beefit of the Wilmington Cornet band. The attendance was quite good although the hall was not filled. The program consisted of selections by the full band, and also by the string band, which were received with favor by the audience. A fine vocal selection was given by a quartet consisting of Mrs. KIDDER, Miss Minnie RIPLEY, J. R. BUELL and A. M. JOHNSON. The last number upon the progaram was a lecture by Prof. S. M. BOWLES of Woodford, on "The peculiarities of Some People." The speaker referred to the obstinate, the superstitious and the absent-minded classes of people, while the gossips and scandal-mongers came in for a share of attention. Numerous quotations from the funny column of newspapers were made. Miss Edna L. DAYTON, a compositor upon the Northampton, Mass., Daily Journal, is visiting in town. C. M. RUSSELL gave his illustrated entertainment upon the "Civil War" at Millers Falls, Mass., on Wednesday evening, and will fill engagements at Erving, Orange, Montague and other places. L. E. KEYSER, who was called to Dundee, N. Y. on account of the illness of his mother, returned on Monday. The annual meeting of the coroprators of the Wilmington savings bank was held last Tuesday at their banking rooms. The report of the auditors showed the assets of the bank to be $439,306.61, a gain of nearly $30,000 in the past year; also a surplus of $34,831.65, a net gain of $10,300. All the old officers were reelected, including E. L. FULLER, president; Clark CHANDLER, vice-president, E. A. WILLARD, jr. treasurer. Miss Edith BOYD is paying a visit to her sister at Westminster. Mrs. Almira HAYES is very ill with pneumonia. An infant child of A. J. ROBERTS was buried from its parent's home on Tuesday, Rev. Wm. SPENCER officiating. The meetings held by Mrs. JACKSON at the Baptist church have been well attended and a good degree of interest has been manifested. Miss Mattie M. WARE was married to Lincoln H. SMITH of Great Barrington on Wednesday evening of this week, by Rev. Wm. SPENCER, at the residence of her parents. (This article appears to be appended to the Wilmington news but in a different font, not sure if it is local or not. RHB) A Touching Incident. An incident connected with the death of little Edith BOYD, which ocurred a few weeks ago, deserves mention. Just as the child was passing away, she called her father to her bedside and earnestly said: "come closer, papa; Oh, closer, papa! Oh papa; do you see that bright light away off there?" These touching words were her last and soon her spirit had passed to the land of light. There is abundant testimony oto prove that the sensations of the dying are the most pleasureable and exquisite. Numerous instances are on record where persons supposed to be dead have been resuscitatied, and they uni;formly declare that the bringing back to life was painful as compared with the ecstacy upon which they were about entering. Persons who came near to their death by drowning say taht the strains of the most entrancing music burst upon their hearing, and the return to life was like awaking from a delightsome dream. A man cut down from the gallows had a vision of entering Paradise surrounded with all its glories. Let us trust that these glorious visions are but a foretaste of eternal pleasures.

Some rills enlarged and united so as to come near obliging the teacher and children to vacate the school house in the district. Not much damage was done apart from the highways.
