Good morning, Does anyone else marvel at how socially active and how well traveled the people of Vermont were in 1889. Travel must not have been easy and yet they are everywhere doing everything all the time. It is truly amazing to me. I enjoy these glimpses into the past. It helps me understand who my grandparents and great grandparents and family really were and how come they met when they lived such great distances from each other. Thanks again Ruth and others for all your hard work! Sylvia T. On Feb 12, 2012, at 2:42 PM, Ruth Barton wrote: > The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 19, 1889 > > Mount Holly 7/19/1889 > > W. C.

When you consider that these people did not have TV, and many didn't have telephones or radios that were very efficient, it is easier to understand how social interactions such as family gatherings, picnics, etc. were so prevalent!!!! -----Original Message----- From: vermont-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:vermont-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Sylvia Tucker Sent: Monday, February 13, 2012 8:22 AM To: vermont@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VERMONT] Mount Holly 7/19/1889 Good morning, Does anyone else marvel at how socially active and how well traveled the people of Vermont were in 1889.
