Source, Rutland Vt.Herald-- Wed. Sept.23,1931 Rutland County In History. No. 23--History of Shrewsbury by Mary Spargo. A murder in 1869 was one of the most exciting events that ever happened in Shrewsbury. For years there had been a feud between the Plumley an Gilman families; blows had been exchanged, and a number of legal battles had been waged from time to time. In the spring of 1869 John Gilman's cattle broke in Ziba Plumley's fields. Plumley and his two sons, Horace and Frederick, had a heated quarrel about it. Horace got his gun, and his father, so the account runs, told him to shoot Gilman. All three of the Plumley family were immediately arrested and brought to trail in Rutland County court. The father was sentenced to life imprisonment and died of apoplexy in 1875. Horace was sentenced to be hanged, but the sentence was commuted by Gov. Stewart, to life imprisonment. Ziba was treated with special leniency because as one historian puts it he was adjudged "half underwitted". The story is told that after the trial the three Plumley men had a discussion of their sentences and Frederick remarked that he thought he had been well treated. " You do, do you ?" growled the old father, " I should think you had ! Twenty years in state's prison and called a d____ d fool by them at that ! "
