Hi Jane, There are eighteen soldiers who served in the 11th Regiment Infantry Vermont in the War of 1812 buried in the Old Military Cemetery in the Town of Cheektowaga, Erie County, New York. The causes of death were not from war wounds but from diarrhea, jaundice, intermittent fever, or epilepsy. The first burial was 4 August 1814 and the last, 16 July 1815.

Source, Rutland Daily Herald--July 4, 1911. WHO SOLD THE CARTRIDGE ? Ernest Heath Blows Off Part of His Hand With Pistol and Blank. The campaign for a safe Fourth of July which is being waged throughout the country, in Rutland as elsewhere, received startling justification yesterday morning when 10 year old Ernest Heath, son of Mr. and Mrs. Heath of No. 31 Forest street, had part of his left hand blown to pieces by a blank cartridge from a toy pistol. The cartridge exploded while young Heath had the pistol pressed against his hand. A physician was hurriedly summoned, the boy taken to the hospital and an operation performed, it being found necessary to remove a large part of the fleshy portion of the hand to ward against tetanus. As there is a city ordinance against the sale of explosives, this accident may be the cause of legal action against those who are evading the law. The police department is investigating. The boy's parents know nothing of the purchase of the weapon, but some of his playmates knew of two places in town were they could be bought. Transcribed by, Joan H.

Dear Barbara, Thank you so much. I searched on Vermont and found some great photos of a 1951 Civil War "reenactment" by the students of the University of Vermont. I forwarded the link to Vermont in the Civil War site. The 1959 photo of a lady postal worker in Norwich was especially appealing. Great site!

Hoping to locate the grave of Abijah Read or Reed who was living in Colchester VT in 1850, I can not find him subsequent to 1850 so I assume he died between 1850 and 1860 census. Abijah was born about 1785 MA, his wife is listed in the census as Rhoda born about 1790-91 NH.   Haven't been able to locate any children for this couple....   Appreciate assistance in finding grave stone, thanks Janice New Zealand

- 110 Years of Life Magazine Photos Now Online I love those glossy photographs that Life Magazine is famous for. Now the magazine has placed 10 million photographs on Google's servers. The photographs range from Margaret Bourke-White's harrowing depictions of the just-liberated concentration camps to Dorothea Lange's haunting photo of a migrant mother to pictures of men walking on the Moon. One picture that I especially like is that of a parade on Pennsylvania Avenue in 1865. On many of the photos, you need to click on the link labeled "View Full Size" in order to see the high resolution version. You can start exploring here: http://images.google.com/hosted/life. Another method is to search Google by and simply add "source:life" to any Google image search. That will limit the search to the LIFE photo archive. For example: genealogy source:life. Even if you don't find exactly what your looking for there's lots of interesting pictures. My thanks to Carla Bodette for letting me know about this valuable new resource.

Connolly and Edward Jones on Thursday afternoon. These law enforcement officers have been operating in the northern section of the state for the past few days. According to the writ, they seized at the Kelley house, one gallon can alcohol, two-fifth gallon bottles of Booth's high and dry gin, one quart bottle Martinque Martini, one 40 ounce bottle Deykeper gin, one 40 ounce bottle Schrieber gin, one bottle containing 4 ounces gin, and two fifth-gallon bottles of W.A. Gaines whiskey. STRIP STAMPS FIRST IN VERMONT. The writ shows that a quantity of bottled in bond strip stamps were seized, also some Quebec Liquor commission stamps and the charges allege that the stamps, which are said to be the first seized by Vermont liquor enforcement officers, were kept by the respondent with the intent of falsely using. ANOTHER CASE AGAINST KELLEY . There is another federal case against Mr. Kelley that has been on the docket of the federal court for the past year, and it is understood this case is scheduled to be tried at the December term of Federal court. As far as could be ascertained the enforcement officers did not visit any other place in this city. Transcribed by, Joan H. Bixby Genealogy not just a hobby, but a labor of love.
