    3. That must have been in the days when kids respected adults.....otherwise, the large bully would have never let the small teacher beat him up!!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2010 10:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [VERMONT] School teachers - Re: Mechancsville 8/21/1885 My grandmother Laura Maude DUNHAM taught in a  1 room school somewhere in VT in the early 1880s. She married my grandfather John Warren GORDON in Barre in 1884. Is there some way I can find out where she taught. There is a family story  - she was a tiny lady and one of her students who had been held back several years and was a big kid , started picking on the littler kids and was generally a bully.  One day she beat the tar out of him.  Don't know if he came back to school but he did not bother her or the kids again.

Mrs. B. L. JOHNSON is sick with spinal disease. C. W. PRIEST and Mrs. I. A. RUSSELL are a little better. Chas. COLE has commenced work in P. E. CHASE's shop. Miss Jennie ANDREWS has gone to Ocean Grove, N. Y., to visit friends. B. F. PARMENTER, under the new administration, has been appointed postmaster at this place. P. E. CHASE's business seems to be improving.  He has hired five new hands in the past few days. M. D. HARRINGTON's face has nearly healed, where the cancer was taken out, a few weeks ago, by Dr. COOTEY. Mrs. Rufus BUCKLIN of Rutland,  and Mrs. Thatcher DUNN of Gardner, Mass., have been visiting relatives in this place. Mrs. Harriet MEADS, who is stopping with Mrs. Delia MATHEWS, is being treated for a cancer by Dr. CHASE of East Wallingford. At the service at the Baptist house, last Sunday, the song "Come, Weary Heart," was rendered by Miss Minnie ADAMS. Mrs. Andrew WING had a night-blooming cereus open, one night last week, and several who had never seen  one in full blossom availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing it. The Odd Fellows' hall in CHASE's hotel is completed, and they held their first meeting there last week.  The lodge is a young one,started within a year, and is in quite a flourishing condition. The schools in the village, district No. 9, commenced Monday, August 17th, with Miss Francis TARBELL for the grammar school (twenty-one scholars) and Miss Emma GOULD of Ludlow for the primary (thirty-two scholars.) Mr. and Mrs. S. S. WRIGHT of Shelburn Falls, Mass., are visiting at A. W. CROWLEY's and L. TARBELL's.  A few days after their arrival Mrs. W. stumbled over a board in the doorway, injuring her ankle severely and laming her so she has not been able to walk since. As Joseph CHAVENELLE was driving into the wood-shed of A. B. CHADBURN,  on a load of jigger-wood, last week, Thursday, he got badly bruised by coming in contact with the top of the shed door and the load, breaking his collar-bone and dislocating his shoulder.  He is attended by Dr. COOTEY, and is doing well.

    3. Yes. That was before August 1884 when she married John Warren GORDON in either Barre or Northfield. Geneologically speaking, our GORDONs are lucky since a generation is closer to 50 years than the standard 20. My father was born in 1899, grandfather in 1857, and great-grandfather in 1805. I was born in 1942. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mary Anne Smith Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 3:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VERMONT] School teachers - Re: Mechancsville 8/21/1885 That must have been in the days when kids respected adults.....otherwise, the large bully would have never let the small teacher beat him up!!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2010 10:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [VERMONT] School teachers - Re: Mechancsville 8/21/1885 My grandmother Laura Maude DUNHAM taught in a  1 room school somewhere in VT in the early 1880s.
