FERGUSON died in Starksboro, Addison County, Vermont, March 20, 1889, in his 77th year. His mother was a sister of the late Bishop Elijah HEDDING, and before his birth his father's house was a house of prayer and the resting--place for the Methodist itinerant. In early manhood he received Christ. He united with the Methodist Episcopal Church and remained a faithful member nearly fifty years. He was noted for integrity and sympathy. He was twice elected to the Vermont Legislature. As a member of the church, he was earnest and liberal in his support. He honored the offices he filled, and was class-leader and steward at his death. His health was poor about four years, but the last year he suffered greatly from difficult breathing. Apparently with little pain he passed away. An appropraite discourse was delivered by Rev. George T. SUTTON from the text, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Rev. David FERGUSON

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to locate the 1830 Monkton census; apparently the page with Ira Beebe has been destroyed, or for some other reason, I can't find that one page. Does the name seem familiar to anyone? There was a younger Ira Beebe in the 1840 census. I am trying to discover if this same Ira was the one in the 1830, or if it was his father. I would like to know what was listed for that 1830 entry. Can anyone help? Thanks for any suggestions/help.

1. Looking for the deaths of Oliver MOTT and his wife Sophia (CHARBONNIER) MOTT sometime after 1868 possibly in Vergennes, VT. 2. Information on the family of Henry MILLER son of John and Polly MILLER of Vergennes, Vt. Henry married Mary MOTT in Vergennes in 1868 by Rev. Torrey. (Catholic??) They had known children, Polly and Eliza J. possibly more. Mary was still living in 1924, so her death would be after that date. She would have been in her early 80's then. Looking for her death and where buried. Is there an index for the burials in Prospect Cemetery? 3. Looking for any reference to a John VANIER and his wife Emily BOUTIELLIER family living in Vergennes in 1840. They had children Susan in VT 1840-41; Henry 1843; and Helen 1845. Then they moved to NY then back to Vergennes in the late 1850's and had a daughter Apoline 1858 in VT. They had an elderly female living with them on the 1840 census. She possibly would've had either surname of above. I will be going to Vergennes soon and hope to be able to find some answers. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Brenda [email protected]
