The Vermont Journal, Windsor, Saturday, June 14, 1884 News around the State. Miss Mary JONES, daughter of H. W. JONES of Shoreham, who was operated upon by Dr. WOODWARD on Tuesday, died from the effect of the operation. L. R. JOSLIN, of Waitsfield, recently sold a year of Holstein heifer for $125. The creditors of Lawrence BRAINERD met on Thursday morning and elected C. W. WITTERS of Milton as assignee; the election was confirmed. On Tuesday of last week, Miss Myra SHELDON, an employe in the shoe manufactory of Frank D. WOODBURY of Salem, was caught on a shaft by her clothing as she was stepping over a pulley, thrown to the floor with great violence and so badly injured that she never regained consciousness, dying the following night. She was twenty-one years of age, and a very estimable young lady. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
