H.W.Hitchcock in FL From: Ruth Barton <mrgjb@sover.net> To: vermont@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, February 4, 2012 2:24 PM Subject: [VERMONT] North Shrewsbury 7/12/1889 The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, January 18, 1889 North Shrewsbury  7/12/1889 The event of the week is the return of William GIBSON with his bride.  We believe he found her near Woodstock.  We wish you much joy, Will, with your new wife, and sincerely hope she will prove a good mother to your three interesting boys. Mr. POOR is building an addition to his barn for a carriage-house. Our village cheese-factory is making 12 cheeses per day.  This is next to the largest,--which makes 13 1/2,--as near as we can learn.  The five cheese factories in Shrewsbury press 43 cheeses per day.  What town is ahead of this? We learn that while Moses LAFEVER was making some repairs in the loft of F. O'BRIEN's barn, a little south of Cuttingsville, the 7th inst., he in some way lost his footing and fell on his side across a pole, breaking two ribs. It will be several days before he will be able to be brought home.  We trust no permanent injury will follow the accident. Daniel COOK has sold his matched team to parties for $500.  They will be shipped in two weeks to a city in Central America. Mrs. A. C. LOCKE and daughter, of Salem, Mass., arrived to-day (Wednesday). They expect to spend the summer here.  They found such a pleasant home with Luther LORD and family, last season, they decided to come again; there are more to follow. Miss Ella LORD has returned home from Rutland, where she has been engaged in the shirt-factory, for the past six weeks. Miss Katie LORD of North Springfield, is visiting relatives and friends here.
