Source, Rutland Daily Herald--Fri. Nov. 10, 1950. GUN KILLS W. KENDALL. South Woodstock Farmer, 29, Dies from Accidental Wound from Own Gun. WOODSTOCK, Nov. 9--Wayne Kendall, 29, South Woodstock farmer, died today from an accidental wound from his own gun while working in the woods. Kendall this morning took his tractor and trailer and went for a load of wood. A gun enthusiast, he took his rifle with him, as was his custom. When he failed to return home at noon, his wife went to look for him, but was unable to find him. She summoned a neighbor, Clyde Woods, South Woodstock garage proprietor, who followed the tractor tracks into the woods and found Kendall lying beside the vehicle, apparently dead. He called Dr. Albert C. Eastman, who came and found Kendall dead as the result of a bullet wound in the head. Apparently Kendall was shot as he was removing his 22 rifle, containing one shell, from the trailer. The gun evidently caught on a chain and went off. Selectmen L. L. Mounce and Rupert Lewis gave permission to remove the body. They said the death was apparently accidental, but turned the case over to Sheriff Melvin W. Moore for investigation. Sheriff Moore ,who was assisted in the investigation by State's Attorney Pelmer D. Ainsworth and Police Chief Wesley Krupinsky, said the death appeared to be "entirely accidental." Kendall was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs.Broderick Kendall. His survivors include his wife, the former Lila Read of Thompsonville, Conn., and two children, age two years and six months. Funeral arrangements are pending. Transcribed by,

Is there a way to narrow down personal info about a VT soldier who has no pension record in the national archives? My great great grandfather, Supply Nims of Rutland (born Sullivan, NH), served with the 14th VT Company H (9 months Sep 62 to July 63). Was engaged in defense of Washington, Fairfax Court House, and Gettysburg. Our family records say he should be 56 at the time. His muster in records say he is 49. Did he lie about his age to be able to serve? We don't know. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi list, for those with English ancestry the Yesterdays site (link below) has been updated with hundreds of additional names ading to the thousands of those already listed from official documents as found in Derbyshire, England. It includes names of people from all over the British Isles as they for one reason or another were recorded in those documents. Varying section for different documents covered are for Settlement Certificates, whch enabled a person/family to move from one parish to another to live, and with the added proviso that if they fell on hard times and become a burden on their new parish, then the old one, or the place of their last legal Settlement would take them back. Bastardy documents are self explanatory. Law and Order covers all kinds of offences and petitions for help for the poor. Some pretty drastic situations for some folks are listed, Hartington Law and Order, William WARDLE for instance. There are however hundreds more. It may be a lost ancestor turns up, but it will also give a good idea just what your ancestors faced in daily parish life. mike http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm

Jan Thanks again you are amazing! Somewhat recently, I learned of a Severance family who came from NH much earlier than my great great grandfather. I determined there is a relationship as cousins. Many Severances from Derby/Newport, VT descend from Lt. Joseph Severance and are relatives of, as is my family, the, Uriel/Uriah Severance family of Woburn MA. Lt. Joe had a lot of kids.
