List, My memory of Typhoid Mary is one from a report that earned me an A+ on a book report in the early 1950s. Mary Mallon was a particularly popular cook who had immigrated from Ireland as a teenager. At the time that she was (criminally) charged with being responsible for the death of a guest of her employer on Long Island, she had accompanied her employer`s family to a summer retreat there . Her employer having the confidence of her innocence continued to host lavish dinner parties. After one of the guests succumbed to what was called typhoid fever she was charged in the media and through them earned the misnomer of 'Typhoid Mary'. She was reluctantly dismissed by her employer and arrangements were made to have her supervised away from New York city. That supervision was no longer evident in 1906 and she changed her surname 'Mallon' to Brown and she re-entered the cooking field prior to World War One and she was judged as responsible for the ultimate deaths of three people in the New York courts. She was sentenced to a sanitarium but became a missing person after war was declared. The respite care communities that people were committed to were called asylums, retreats and in the case of health care facilities sometimes called sanitariums. Just after the turn of the century there were several asylums that became businesses . They were not regulated by most states and they were helpful in treating people in need. They were almost always held suspect by the communities that the were located in or near. Often times their existence was resolved by (vigilante-inspired) dwelling fires. These same solutions served to discourage poor-farms and typical community supported respite care institutions. As a young boy I heard rumors of three such places . One in St.Albans,VT; one in Pittsburg, NH ; and one in Waterbury, VT . I'm sure there were many others, but I am speaking about my memories and rumors from the WWII era.

Born 1844 in Enosburg. Shows in 1850 Newport VT census as Sanford Buttler, age 6. His father and mother having died in 1852 and 1856, respectively, he was in Orleans Probate Court 31 Dec 1861, as "A minor, Coventry, over 14 years of age, who chose Abram H.? Hancotte? to be his guardian." (I can't find a Hancotte in the 1860 or 1870 census, but I may have the name incorrect. Doesn't look like Marcotte.) He was in the Civil War as Orin S. Butler, a member of the 11th Regiment, Vermont Volunteers. He retired to Coventry by 1890. He died 5 Apr 1898 at age 53 yrs, 8 mos, 14 dys and was buried as Sanford O. Butler near his parents, Allen and Lauris (Lampher) Butler and his brother, Harman. Does anyone know of any other family members or of a Hancotte family? Thanks for any leads. Vicki in NH
Of interest, perhaps - The Senator from Illinois, Stephen A. Douglas, to whom you refer is the same man who ran against Lincoln in the Presidential contest of 1860.

The earliest cases of typhoid pneumonia/fever, I was able to find dated back to November 7, 1845 when Thomas P. Burnett of Wisconsin died. The disease is caused from poor sanitary conditions such as the feces of an infected person. Many soldiers in the Mexican War died from it. Stephen Arnold Douglas born 1813 in Brandon and died of typhoid fever in 1860 in Cook County, Illinois. It would take some research but I wonder if there were places where the infected person was taken. I suspect that many died at home and that was why there was such an epidemic. Today, many who travel to 3rd world countries are vaccinated for it before they travel.

Typhoid Mary wasn't until 1900. I think 1852 was too early to quarantine people for typhoid. Maybe your missing person was in a hospital in another state?

Hey Frank! I have 2 Perrys marrying into my Porters: 1. Samuel Porter (1763, b. Lebanon, CT) married Persis Porter (1768-1860), dau of Robert Perry & Sarah Hodges). These Perrys were from Ashford, CT (previously Malboro & Taunton, MA) & moved up to Pomfret, VT & stayed there several generations. Samuel & Persis moved on to the NEK early 1820s. I own a family history that lists ancestors of Persis Perry, her sibs & children of one of her sibs. Other than that I don't know anything about these Perrys. Samuel Porter & Persis Perry named their youngest child Robert Perry Porter & the name persists in our family to the present. 2. One of the Porter descendants married a Perry in the late 1930s but he was from Virginia. I'm in touch w/one of the children & can get more information if this would be helpful.
