    1. Native American Spear point found Derby, VT
    2. Jan J.
    3. VERMONT NORTHLAND JOURNAL, Volume 3, Number 5, Issue 29, August 2004, by Scott Wheeler, pages 9-13: 1998 Paleoindian Spear Point Found in Derby, VT Estimated at about 10,000 Years Old A spear point found by two young Derby [Vermont] girls this summer may help archaeologists write a new chapter in the history of Native Americans in Vermont. Celie Dagesse, age eight, and Emily Wheeler, seven, were sifting through rocks in Lake Salem when they found what state archeologists with the Division of Historic Preservation have identified as a clovis-like fluted projectile point from the Paleoindian Period. The stone point is between 9,000 and 10,000 years old, and possibly older. <precept> Bea Nelson, a member of the Alnobak Nebesakiak Abenaki community based in Derby, Vermont, ... said, 'Lake Salem is referred to as Lake Abenaki in some local history books.' <precept> Mr. Scott Dillon, a state survey archaeologist said, 'it could have been used to hunt caribou. It was either thrown as a spear of with an atlatl, a stick used to propel a short spear through the air to its intended target. The point was made of chert, a shale based rock, that is native to only such far away places as Maine and Pennsylvania.' <precept> Ms. Giovanna Peebles, the state's archaeologist may be contacted at (802) 828-3050.

A milk train, running close to forty miles an hour, crashed into the rear of a work train on the Rutland branch of the Delaware and Hudson system between Rexleigh and Shushan Saturday afternoon, but strangely enough no one, including the engineer Charles Munson of the milk train, who stuck to his post , was injured seriously. This is even more remarkable, because the cars of the work train were chained to the track to better enable the work of unloading the stone with which holes in the roadbed caused by the recent storm were being repaired. A flagman had been set back by the work train to warn the milk train, but he went to sleep, being awakened as the milk train dashed by. The milk train rounded the curve, and the fireman saw the work train just ahead. He jumped and was slightly hurt. Engineer Munson applied the emergency brakes and plowed through the caboose and two flat cars. he was considerably jarred. A wrecking train came Saturday from the north, but could not work from that end, and the tracks were cleared Sunday afternoon. About 100 men, all about the work train,escaped with a bad fright.

    2. Source, Granville, N.Y. Sentinel--Fri. Aug. 8, 1913. DEATH TAKES TOLL IN AUTO SPILL. Youthful Victim Let Go Steering Wheel To Light Cigarette. GIRL'S MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. Mother Not Surprised to Learn of the Awful Fate of Her Son. Harry Goodspeed, eighteen years of age, only son of the late James Goodspeed of North Pawlet, Vt., was instantly killed Saturday on the east side of Lake St. Catherine, when his automobile, containing five young girls and himself, turned turtle, the girls escaping with slight injuries and the machine being only slightly damaged. The accident occurred some distance beyond Gray Gables, the Charles McFadden cottage, and was in the town of Poultney (Vt). The road there is very narrow and dangerous. Young Goodspeed who is known as a reckless driver, stated to the girls shortly before the catastrophe that they were at twenty-five miles and hour and would be making fifty in a minute. A Welsh picnic from West Pawlet was at the Forest house, with the party being Lizzie and Sarah Hughes, of West Pawlet, Hazel Nelson of West Rupert, Winnie Williams and Beatrice Griffiths of West Pawlet. Goodspeed, it is understood, gave a general invitation for anyone to have a ride in his machine and these five little girls accepted the invitation. How any of them escaped death is hard to understand., as three were pinned under the machine, one of them, Sarah Hughes, being in the front seat with the driver. When the accident occurred Goodspeed was in the act of lighting a cigarette, both hands being off the wheel for a moment. The auto plunged down a four foot bank, turning over, the corner of the seat crushed the driver's head. His neck was also broken. A slight quiver, when Miss Hughes spoke to him, was the only movement made. She managed to crawl from under the car and then assisted Miss Williams out of the rear seat. Miss Nelson they were unable to release, as she was held down by the car, although uninjured. She remained in this plight for about three quarters of an hour, when she was released by Myron F. Roberts of Rupert, who rode by in his car, but after going a short distance returned to investigate, having seen the overturned car, but thinking it was deserted when he passed. The girls had become scatted in their fright. Dr. A. J. Greenwood of Poultney was summoned, but the young man was past all help and the children's fright was their most serious injury. Griffith Lloyd, a photographer of Granville, N.Y., was on the opposite shore of the lake and arrived at the scene within a hour of the accident. He took a picture of the car, which was published in Monday evening's Troy Times, also the picture of the girls which appears on this page. This was taken as soon afterward as he could get them together at the Forest house on the west side of the lake, where the picnic was being held. The girls from left to right are as follows ; Lizzie Hughes, Sarah Hughes, Hazel Nelson, Winnie Williams, Beatrice Griffiths. The Hughes girls are sisters and all are from West Pawlet, Vt., with the exception of Hazel Nelson, who resides in West Rupert, Vt. I might be able to make a copy of the girls photo. If you think one of these girls could be a relative let me know. Joan
