The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, February 5, 1886 Windham 2/5/1886 Mrs. Chas. E. SMITH is in very poor health, now; unable to sit up much of the time. Mrs. W. H. THOMPSON is quite sick. Her daughter, Mrs. Aggie BUGBEE, is home caring for her. Croydon DUTTON is very poorly since losing his wife, last winter, who died so suddenly. He has been failing both in mind and body, and now is unfit to do business, his nerves being in a bad condition. A. J. PARKER, a good farmer of this place, is richly entitled to a deaconship, if there is anything in the seven bushels of beans business. He raised, this year, 17 bushels from one acre; and from 1 quart of seed he raised 73 quarts of beans of the improved yellow-eye varieties. Who beats that?
