From West Bridgewater, drive south on Route 100 to Tyson; take a right (west) on Dublin Road; follow to Lake Ninevah Road. About 15 miles. By using the old Crown Point Road (still there today) you could shave a mile or two off that.

About 20 miles. Darrell

You are probably right. The notice of contagious diseases might serve as warning for people who weren't in good health or had little children...to stay at home!!! Or if they themselves already were sick, they knew it was "going around" and didn't worry so much about it...... -----Original Message----- From: vermont-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:vermont-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Darrell A.
