Source, Rutland Weekly Herald--Thur. Dec.14, 1905. VERMONT NEWS. Short Items of Interest Gleaned From All Over The State. During the month of November the Bennington town clerk issued 8 marriage licenses and recorded 12 births and 12 deaths. It is expected that there will be a council of the neighboring churches in recognition of the organization of the church of East Charleston Wednesday, December 13. Mrs. J. C. Gleason of McIndoes, celebrated her 94th birthday anniversary November 28. She is the oldest person in town, and is remarkably active. The last of the big granite from the Newport Granite quarry in Derby was drawn to the trains on Tuesday last. These big stones, some seven in number and averaging in weight from 35 to 45 tons each and taking some 23 horses to draw each one , were shipped to Albany, N.Y. Dana H. and Melissa E. Chadwick celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage at their home on Fish hill, Randolph, last Wednesday evening, and many from Randolph attended. Dana H. Chadwick, who was born in Randolph in 1830, was a son Benjamin and Oliver (sic) Chadwick. Mrs. Chadwick, his wife, was also born in that town July 17, 1839, and was a daughter of Rufus and Mahala Chadwick. W. H. Harrington of North Pomfret has bought the registered Jersey bull, Matty Bess' Owl. C. H. Root of Craftsbury has bought the registered Jersey bull Orman of Brondale. W. H. Pratt of West Hartford has bought the registered Jersey cows, Dana's Marvina and Dana's Miss Thankful. The registered Jersey Susan's Last has been purchased by M. C. Whipple of North Pomfret. East Ryegate, which has heretofore been hardly more than a railroad station, seems destined to become a lively village. A dam has been built across the Connecticut river there and a large paper mill will be built. When the mills are in operation about 200 men will be given employment. For years Randolph has been noted for having more teams hitched on the streets, than any other town in the state, says a correspondent from that place. Last week Monday was not an specially busy day, but at 10 o'clock that morning 72 teams, including all kinds of rigs were counted, and there were many more teams being driven aimlessly back and forth anxiously waiting for a chance at a hitching post. NORTHFIELD POLICE FORCE RESIGNS. On Friday the entire police force of the village sent in their resignations to the trustees, because of some personal matters. The resignation of Officer Plunkett was partly due to his physical condition, and he will be relieved of his duties during the week. TAX EXEMPTION ASKED . The selectmen of Richford have posted warnings for a special town meeting to be held Saturday December 16 at 7 o'clock in the evening, to see if the town will vote to exempt the Richford Garment company from taxation for a period of years. A meeting of the corporators of the Richford Garment company was held Friday night at the offices of Ladd & Boright. By-laws were adopted and a board of directors was chosen, composed of Charles A.

Hi, Jody, The record you have about Ira Bentley and his family being warned out of St. Albans would have come from Vol. 2, 1814-1844 of the Town and Vital Records at St. Albans, page 214. These records are not online. If you live near an LDS Library, you could order the microfilm for St. Albans records that include Volume 2, 1814-1844, but there probably wouldn't be much, if any, additional information than what was extracted for the Warnings Out book. In early VT (and other New England states, I believe) if someone moved into a different town, it was a practice to warn them out to let them know that if they couldn't make it on their own, the town wouldn't take care of them. Many people never left and became productive members of the community. Good luck with your research. Joann Nichols
