The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 2, 1889 Windham 8/2/1889 Very trying hay weather for pious people; others speak right out. Mamie WHIPPLE and Clara JENISON are both sick. Report said it was typhoid fever; it is now understood to be the effects of some sort of poison. Henry C. WHITCOMB is receiving a visit from his daughter Nellie. Mrs. Charles GOULD and daughter are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William HARRIS. Alice COOK is visiting in the vicinity; now at Artemas A. BLOOD's. She will be remembered as the widow's daughter who once lived at the Mills. William FARR's condition is full as hopeful. Mrs. B. M. PIERCE is so far recovered from her protracted lameness as to be able to walk with the aid of crutches, and several pies, cakes and cookies owe their existence to her willing hands. George A. HARRINGTON is at home now, having closed up his time at Brookline rather prematurely. Alva HARRIS has quit work for A. J. STEARNS, not liking the whole earth for a table. Warren I. RICHARDSON & Co. are cutting the hay on H. G. STOWELL's farm, this year, while the old Maid MOORE and her grass are still waiting. (Now there's an item the likes of which you won't see in today's papers. RHB) "Tip" RICHARDSON has just been to Stratton on a visit and to pick a few blueberries. A moist time for the miller.
