Sylvia, Yes, I sometimes wonder if they EVER stayed to home. When we think of "the old days" we tend to think of "nose to the grindstone, shoulder to the wheel, work from dawn to dusk with never any rest or recreation" but those folks were always on the go. And PARTY, why they partied at the drop of a hat! The other day I read one where they had a big party for some guy's forty-first birthday, not fortieth, but forty-first! Well, maybe he was sick on his fortieth, or off visiting in Wisconsin. Ruth PS: Glad you enjoy them, I do too. Good morning, Does anyone else marvel at how socially active and how well traveled the people of Vermont were in 1889. Travel must not have been easy and yet they are everywhere doing everything all the time. It is truly amazing to me. I enjoy these glimpses into the past. It helps me understand who my grandparents and great grandparents and family really were and how come they met when they lived such great distances from each other. Thanks again Ruth and others for all your hard work! Sylvia T. -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 26, 1889 Vermont at Gettysburg 7/26/1889 Description of the Monument Erected by the State in Honor of her Heroes. On July 1st, the Vermont State monument at Gettysburg was set up on Hancock avenue, at the place where Stannard's brigade repulsed Pickett's division in July, 1863. The monument is constructed of Dummerston granite. The design is a Corinthian column, modeled after the Lord Nelson monument in Trafalgar square, London. the granite shaft is 50 feet high, and will be surmounted by a bronze stature of the late Gen. STANNARD. The bronze statue is now being cast, and will soon be ready to place on the imposing pedestal just erected at Gettysburg. The STANNARD statue was modeled by Karl GERHARDT of Hartford, Conn., and will cost about $5,000. The figure is grand in its proportions and outline and stands 11 feet high on a grading five feet high. The face, which is from a portrait, is shaded by a broad felt hat, the empty sleeve is pinned across the breast, the left leg, encased in heavy cavalry boots, is slightly advanced, and the left hand rests on the sword belt. The total hight of the monument is 66 feet, including the statue. The monument consists of four bases, a cap, a base, a spire, a round Corinthian fluted column and a Corinthian carved cap. The first base is 17 feet square and 1 foot 9 inches high. The second base is 12 feet square and 15 inches high. The third base is 10 feet and 2 inches square and 15 inches high. The fourth base is 9 feet square and 3 feet high. Above this comes the die, a cube 6 feet each way, that weighs 16 tons. The cap surmounting this is 7 feet and 6 inches square and 2 feet 11 1/2 inches high. Above this is the base of the column 5 feet and 4 inches square and 21 inches high. The spire, a fluted Corinthian column, is 3 feet and 10 inches in diameter and 29 feet high. the spire weighs 35 tons. Above the spire is a full Corinthian cap that is 4 feet and 3 inches square and 3 feet and 10 inches high. The monument has the following inscriptions: On the west side is the coat of arms of Vermont carved in lo bas-relief. Beneath are the words "Vermont in Honor of Her Sons Who Fought on This Field." On the north side is the inscription to the First Brigade. The lettering is as follows: " First Vermont Brigade, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Regiments, Brig. Gen. L. A. GRANT, commanding; Second Brigade, Second Division, Sixth Corps. The brigade reached the field near Little Round top in the afternoon of July, 2, 1863, by a forced march of 32 miles, and soon after was assigned to the left Union flank, where it held a line from the summit of Round Top to Taneytown road until the close of the battle." On the east side is the record of the Second Brigade, as follows: "Second Vermont Brigade, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th Regiments, Brig. Gen. George J. STANNARD commanding; Third Brigade, Third Division, First Corps. The brigade arrived on Cemetery Hill, July 1, 1863. The 12th and 15 Regiments were detached to guard the corps trains. About sunset, July 2, the 13th, 14th and 16th moved to this part of the field, retook Battery C, Fifth United States, and re-established the Union line. July 3d, these regiments held the front line in advance of this spot. In the crisis of the day the Thirteenth and Sixteenth changed front and advanced 200 yards to the right assaulted the flank of Pickett's Division. The Sixteenth then moved back 400 yards to the left and charged the flank of WILCOX's and PERRY's Brigades. The Fourteenth supported these charges. The brigade captured three flags and many prisoners." On the south side are the inscriptions to the cavalry and sharpshooters, as follows: "First Vermont Cavalry Corps. This regiment fought STUART's Cavalry at Hanover, June 30th, 1863, opposed HAMPTON's Cavalry at Hunterstown July 2, and charged through the First Texas Infantry and upon the line of LAW's brigade at the foot of Round Top July 3. "Vermont Sharpshooters, Company F, First United States Sharpshooters, Companies E and H, Second united States Sharpshooters, Second Brigade, First Division, Third Corps. July 2, Company F aided in checking the advance of WILCOX's Brigade west of Seminary Ridge. Companies E and H resisted LAW's Brigade west of Devil's Den and upon the round tops. July 3 the three companies took part in the repulse of PICKETT's charge." The monument, as it stands today, is said to be the finest and most imposing memorial yet erected on the Gettysburg battlefield grounds. It is probable that the dedication will take place early in October. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 19, 1889 State Notes 7/19/1889 Some Fairbanks scale stock sold at auction in Boston, last week, for $432.52. Jerry REAGAN, an employe at Freedley's quarry, East Dorset, fell about 25 feet, last Friday, and was instantly killed. Of the three boys who escaped from the Vergennes Reform school, June 28th, only one was captured. July 3d two more boys escaped from the school. A boy named KEEFE, living near Williston, died recently from the effects of a paralytic shock caused by diving into the river when his blood was heated. John CARTAN, aged about 30, was drowned in the Connecticut river, Sunday, at Westmoreland, while bathing. A reward of $15 was offered for the recovery of the body. John BEFOUR of St. Johnsbury mistook muriatic acid for ice-water, in a tin store, Monday, and took a little. His condition is critical, but the doctors think he will recover. Timothy CHEEDLE, who is 60 years old, and Mary CHAPIN, 16 years old, daughter of George CHAPIN, residents of North Chittenden, went to Granville, N. Y., July 4th, and were married. The Olcott Falls Co., manufacturers of paper and pulp, have just purchased of parties in St. Johnsbury 12,000 acres of land at Victory, with 2,000,000 feet of logs ready for manufacture, for $100,000. The third annual reunion of the society of the first artillery, 11th Vermont Volunteers, will be held at St. Johnsbury, Thursday, Aug. 8th. Rev. Arthur LITTLE, D. D., will deliver the address. Railroads will give half-fare rates. A little over four months ago, Charles HADLOCK, station agent at East Thetford, absconded, his railroad, express and telegraph accounts being short $1,000. He was arrested in Kansas City, a few days ago, and brought back. The seven-year-old son of Eugene SMITH of Fair Haven, while playing with the son of Edward LITTLE at Hampton, in a bedroom, Monday, accidentally knocked a shot gun down, and it exploded, blowing out the brains of SMITH. The premium list of the Vermont State Agricultural Society and the Champlain Valley Association, is issued for 1889. The fair will be held at Burlington, September 3-6. The list is patterned much as in former years with"competition open to the whole world." May, a young daughter of Mrs. WARD of St. Albans, narrowly escaped serious injury, a recent Sunday. She was riding to Fairfield, when a run-away horse jumped on the back of the carriage in which she was riding, and the vehicle was badly wrecked. Miss May and her companions were, strangely enough, uninjured. L. H. MENEAU of Louisville, Province of Quebec who was arrested in Burlington, last Saturday, on the charge of obtaining $15,000 from the Nova Scotia Bank of Montreal by a forged note, is still in jail there awaiting requisition papers. He was arrested on an old Vermont law which permits a non-resident to be held for debt. Hattie ROOD, a girl 16 years of age, was buried at Pownal, last Friday afternoon, from the Methodist church. Her death was caused by a dose of paris green, which she took because she thought her lover, Otis HALEY, intended to desert her. Before the successful attempt to take her life, she had once drank paris green with that end in view. Carnegie Bros. & Co. of Pittsburg, Pa., have purchased of John C. ORAM of Brandon the mineral rights on the lands formerly owned by the Brandon Mining Co., now owned by Mr. ORAM. The consideration was $20,000. The CARNEGIES will commence sinking shafts about the 25th of the present month. The magnitude of their operations depends largely on the richness of the deposit developed. (I wonder if this was another gold mine, or some other mineral? RHB) Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 19, 1889 Here and There 7/19/1889 The next FLETCHER family reunion will be held in Tremont Temple, Boston, Wednesday, Aug. 29th. A movement has been begun to exempt from taxation a sawmill in Ascutneyville for a period of five years from its erection. A special town meeting may be called for that purpose. Mrs. Francis B. HAYES of Weathersfield Bow recently applied for a divorce in the courts of Massachusetts. Judge BROOKS reserved his decision until June 26th, when he rendered it in favor of dismissing the petition. Philip DUTELLE of Pittsford has a sow of the Cheshire breed that is three years old, from which he has sold 53 pigs, the average price being $2.75, receiving in all $147.75, besides fattening three pigs in the meantime for family use. The Weathersfield mail-routes have been adjusted so that all parties are satisfied. James FURMAN of Woodstock has put Ed. MAHONEY on to that line; Walter MORSE runs from Proctorsville to Windsor, and R. DOWNER has put a man on to the Springfield line. The executive committee of Vermont Academy, Saxtons River, have nearly 100 applications for the vacant positions of teachers in that institution. It is announced that Miss Francis L. DAVIS of Cavendish has been selected as one of the teachers. She was a graduate of the academy, also of Wellesley College, and for the past six years has been preceptress of the Woodstock Academy. Selectman M. L. THOMAS of Rutland was attacked by a bull, Tuesday morning, receiving severe if not dangerous injuries. He was leading the animal to Pittsfield, and when near the house of H. A. NOYES, the brute, without the slightest warning, attacked him. He was rescued from his plight by George MORSEMAH and others. Mr. THOMAS received injuries in his stomach, and his clothes were badly torn.

THOMAS have put some very nice headstones at their wives' graves in the cemetery at the Center. Our base-ball club went to Tyson, last Saturday, and met the Proctorsville club in battle on the diamond. The gave was hotly contested throughout, and rain broke up the sport before it could be finished, the score standing Proctorville 11, Bridgewater 8, at the end of the eighth inning, when rain had been falling for all of fifteen minutes. Many went down from here to see the contest. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT

"Old Home Week" online style! I saw that in the reformer. My parents and his parents (Eddie and Myrtle) were friends in Orleans when Arland and I were babies. I hear our mothers used to go walking together. When I was in high school I met Arland; he lived in Putney then. We used to go to the Martin's home in Brattleboro often.
