The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 2, 1889 Peru 8/2/1889 Our community was very much startled at the sudden and unexpected death of Timothy RIDEOUT, which took place last Friday noon, at M. B. LYON's. His remains were taken to Dorset, Sunday, for burial. He was 74 years of age. P. D. WYMAN presented us with a fine cluster of apple-blossoms, which he picked from one of his trees, last Sabbath morning. Mrs. L. W. RUSSELL and Mrs. Frank QUACKENBUSH returned to their homes in Massachusetts, last Friday, Miss Mary QUACKENBUSH accompanying them. Such rainy weather makes our hay-makers wear rather long faces.
