I bet you are right. Nobody has "no veins." But, this little boy's problem was that he couldn't stop bleeding...... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 1:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VERMONT] General State News 11/27/1885 I would bet that the boy had hemophilia.  Wonder if it has appeared inother in that TERRY line.   "The West Randolph correspondent of the REFORMER, in the last issue of that sheet, says:  A few weeks ago we spoke of the little TERRY boy, son of Fred TERRY, who had no veins.  Saturday while playing he was hit by a stone which slightly fractured the skin.  he began to bleed and bled to death in spite of all the physicians could do.  The blood instead of being in veins was just under the skin, and cutting the skin had the same effect as cutting a large vein in ordinary cases.  A boy without veins was never heard of before in this part of the state."

Capt. John C. STEARNS of Bradford has been appointed assistant inspector-general for Vermont, on the staff of Commander-in-Chief BURDETTE, G. A. R. S. W. CUMMINGS general passenger agent of the Central Vermont road, has also been appointed to the same position on the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain road. John HANLEY, jr., had his right hand caught, last Saturday, by the cylinder of a threshing-machine, and badly injured, while threshing at the barn of S. W. POWELL, in Jericho. At St. Johnsbury, last Thursday, united States Marshal HENRY arrested Frank LIBBY, for making a false affidavit to pension papers, and took him to White River Junction for a hearing. Enoch WATSON of Braintree, aged 17 years, committed suicide, last Friday morning, by shooting.  He fastened his gun to a tree, aimed the gun at his throat, and pulled the trigger with his toe. John HAYES, a Brattleboro baggage-master, fell from the top of his train while it was on the bridge at Millers Falls, mass., last Saturday morning, into the river, 72 feet. He was rescued slightly injured. As John MANGAN was going down the back stairs of the Park View house, Fairhaven, Saturday evening, a small boy known as "Silver" jumped on his back to ride down; but MANGAN lost his balance, and both went down headfirst, breaking MANGAN's wrist and cutting a gash in the side of his head.  "Silver" was only bruised a little. The Grand Trunk railroad is now an equal owner with Gov. SMITH and his friends of Vermont Central stock.  A recent agreement between the roads provided for the transfer of 4,570 shares of the Grand Trunk company. Besides president SMITH, who still is much the larger holder of consolidated bonds, B. P. CHENEY of Boston and J. R. LANGDON of Montpelier are teh chief owners of vermont Central stock. Martin SCULLEY, 45 years old, employed by the Vermont marble company, was killed at Shaugran quarry, near Proctor, last Friday evening.  He was standing on a platform-car, which started down the grade by its own momentum, and before he could get at the brakes it ran off a switch down a steep embankment.  He leaves a widow and two children.  A little son on the car with him was unhurt. A young man from Plattsburgh, N. Y., named William J. LOMBARD, was married at Brandon by Rev. J. W. QUINLAN, a few weeks ago, to Miss Carrie M. HALL of that place.  A newspaper with a notice of the marriage got to Plattsburgh, and Mr.        QUINLAN has a letter from a woman there who says that that she is LOMBARD's real wife, and asks that the man be held until she could appear against him.  LOMBARD, however, has left town, and it is supposed that he is in Canada. Word comes from Danby that Post-master O. A. ADAMS has been notified by Messrs. ATKINS & SMALLEY that he must resign or be removed,and that he sent in his resignation to the department, last Saturday, while Captain BOND has received notice from Washington of his appointment as postmaster in ADAMS' place. Later--Postmaster ADAMS says that this is a lie, but we publish it to show that others besides the TRIBUNE lie. Harmon N. TRACY of Essex, who lives a short distance from the junction, died, Saturday, from the effects of wounds inflicted by an infuriated bull. Mr. TRACY was passing through the lot where the bull was kept, when the brute charged upon him from the rear, and, being almost totally deaf, the unfortunate man knew nothing of his danger until attacked.  he was badly bruised and mangled, and lived but a short time.  Mr. TRACY was one of the best known farmers in Essex. The West Randolph correspondent of the REFORMER, in the last issue of that sheet, says:  A few weeks ago we spoke of the little TERRY boy, son of Fred TERRY, who had no veins.  Saturday while playing he was hit by a stone which slightly fractured the skin.  he began to bleed and bled to death in spite of all the physicians could do.  The blood instead of being in veins was just under the skin, and cutting the skin had the same effect as cutting a large vein in ordinary cases.  A boy without veins was never heard of before in this part of the state.
