When Stars Fell on Vermont What follows is an excerpt from David Ludlum's fascinating Vermont Weather Book. "The Leonid meteor shower annually puts on the best spectacle on the 12th and 13th of November when the orbit of the meteors streams across that of the earth. Every thirty-three years an exceptional display occurs with thousands of shooting stars per hour streaking across the sky. The best in the nineteenth century appeared in the early morning hours of November 13, 1833. Much folklore arose from the event. At Newbury: The meteoric shower of November 1, 1833, was one of the most wonderful sights ever witnessed. The night was perfectly clear, and about ten o'clock the display began. Thousands of meteors fell, some of them with dazzling brilliancy. The flashing was incessant, many at the same time falling in all directions. Some were awakened from sleep by the glare, and the superstitious thought that the end of the world had come." -- History of Newbury, Vermont, p. 265 Source: David M.

JUDITH SLEEPER SMITH SOMERVILLE BORN: 19 Mar 1818, Stanstead, Quebec, Canada * DIED: 2 Nov 1904, Coaticook, Quebec, Canada (OB Express & Standard Newspaper  NEWPORT, VT., 4 November 1904)       "Mrs. JUDITH A. SOMERVILLE, wife of the late Rev. WILLIAM C. SOMERVILLE, D.D., died at her home in Coaticook, PQ., on 2 November 1904, age 86 years, following a short illness. Prayers & service were held at the home on November 3rd., Rev. WILLIAM STEVENS, rector Episcopal Church in Coaticook.  On Nov. 4th, remains were taken to Newport, Vermont.  Services held at St. Mark's Episcopal by Rev. Mr. MURCH, besides by Rev. WILLIAM STEVENS, of Coaticook.      JUDITH was the daughter of HEZEKIAH and HANNAH SLEEPER, the last one of a family of eleven children.  Educated in Stanstead Academy.  Went to St. Louis, Mo., about 18 years of age to visit her sister, (HARRIET SLEEPER and husband EBENEZER DAVIS) met and married after a short acquaintance, JACOB SMITH, a most estimable young man. After a short residence in St. Louis, the couple went to Galveston, Texas, then a very small place and part of Mexico.  She resided in Galveston from 1837 to 1859, when Mr. SMITH died and was buried in the city he loved so well.  During that period she lived under three different governments:  Mexico, Republic of Texas and State of Texas. She witnessed Galveston's growth from a little place of only a few houses to becoming the leading city of the  "Lone Star State".  These were stirring days in Galveston's history and Mr. and Mrs. SMITH were prominent figures and acted well their part in the building up of the city.      After her first husband's death she came to Coaticook, Canada to visit her brothers, the late LEWIS and WRIGHT SLEEPER, remaining during the Civil War.  After the war she returned to Galveston, and on November 11, 1868 married Rev. WILLIAM C. SOMERVILLE, D.D., then pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Houston City, Texas.  In 1870, she and her husband Dr. SOMERVILLE, accompanied by Miss ELLEN A. BLACK, to Stanstead and Coaticook to visit relatives.  Soon after arrival, Dr. SOMERVILLE was called to be pastor of the Congregational Church at Newport, Vermont, remaining for four years and then to the Congregational Church at Coventry for 7 years.  When he voluntarily retired after an active life as minister of the gospel for over 40 years, 1881, the deceased and her husband purchased a home in Coaticook, Quebec, Canada where they lived a quiet and happy life.  Dr. SOMERVILLE died in 1899, and was buried in West Derby (known today as East Main Street Cemetery) and now she who was a most estimable wife and companion in life has passed on.      Mrs. SOMERVILLE was an educated, refined accomplished, Christian lady, whose chief delight was making her home cheerful & happy and spreading sunshine along the pathway of life.  She was kind to the poor and needy and no one has left her door hungry or empty handed.  She was the last of a noted family of 11 children and after a long well spent and happy life has gone to reap the reward of the faithful. She leaves nephews, nieces and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss.  Of her it can be most truly said, that none knew her but to leave her, none named her but to please."

Source, Rutland Daily Herald--July 27,1886. A RUNAWAY ON EVELYN STREET. A span of horses owned by Griggs Kelley of Clarendon Springs, attached to a wagon loaded with boards and shingles, ran away on Evelyn street yesterday afternoon, but did not do very much damage. Mr. Kelley left the team near Keyes's store about 4:30 o'clock without hitching the horses and some paper thrown out of the windows above by children frightened the animals. They started down the street at a lively gait across West street and ran into the fence in front of the Methodist parsonage. One of the horses jumped it, while the other broke down a part of it and cut badly one of his knees. The harness was broken some, but no other damage was done. While the runaway team was passing through Evelyn street, the horse attached to the delivery wagon of Deffy & Clifford ran. He went over the railroad crossing and around the square, back to the store without doing any damage.

Mr. John Melvin was instantaneously killed at Bridport (Vt) Sunday afternoon by being thrown from a wagon. He lived a couple of miles north of Bridport village and at about two o'clock was driving home from church, his daughter Maggie and his wife's grandson being with him. When a short distant from home a sudden shower came on. The horse took fright at an umbrella which one of the occupants raised and started on a mad run. Charles Wing, who was driving ahead of Mr. Melvin, turned out on one side of the road and the runaway team in going by on the other side went into a sluice and the occupants were thrown out. All were uninjured save Mr. Melvin who went over the forward wheel. Before he could recover himself the horse ran into a fence by the roadside and Mr. Melvin's head struck a post. The horse then ran on and the wagon was utterly demolished. Mr. Wing saw the accident and hastened up, Mr. Melvin was picked up and carried into a schoolhouse near by , and help was summoned, as soon as possible, but he was dead. Mr. Melvin was 65 years of age ; member of the Congregational church and one of the most highly esteemed residents of Bridport. He came to Bridport twelve years ago from Mineville, N.Y., and purchased a large farm,which he has since conducted. He leaves a wife and three children, two daughters and a son, who is now in the west. The sorrow in the community over his sad and sudden death and the sympathy for his bereaved family are genuine and wide-spread.
