The last I knew they did not have volunteers available for look ups any more. The last one they had became the President of the historical society! We have hard copy of the Rutland Herald from 1848 to the end of WWII, but nothing more current. Some of our years are missing. The Library has them on microfilm, two readers in the research room. I can't promise to do it, at least right now, due to the rotating weekend schedule of sleep over grandchildren. But I am sure one way or the other you will find get help.

Kathy I "think" (key word )that you can request maybe for a fee that someone at Rutland Library, volunteers, I think, look up what you are looking for since you seem to know the date and have names etc it shouldn't take all that long . Try e-mailing the Rutland Public Library and ask them what the policy is on something like this Good luck _http://www.rutlandfree.org/_ (http://www.rutlandfree.org/) **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.

Does anyone know how I could find a newspaper article from the Rutland Herald for sometime in November of 1958? It was about a car accident that happened in Poultney that involved my parents, my then three year old sister, and a party of deer hunters from CT who crashed into them. Does the Rutland Library have the archives for the paper, and can they search for keywords, for instance, my father's name, etc.? Thank you. Kathy Campbell Jacksonville, FL

Hi Kathy,I have been to The Rutland library many times.They do have the Herald on film,but as far as I know its not searchable by name.They do'nt search for you.But you can search to your hearts content. Jean M OOPS.Did'nt read the whole thing and see your address.Maybe someone going there will keep their eyes open.Was anyone killed?If so I could go to the town clerks and check for the whole date.

Source, Fair Haven Era-Fri. Aug. 9, 1935. SOUTH POULTNEY DEFEATS WELLS' NINE. Last Sunday the South Poultney nine scored a easy victory over the Wells' team. The South Poultney boys, backing up the supurb pitching of their star right hander, Joe Pomolosky, and hitting like the big league players, coasted in with a 12 to 4 victory. On next Sunday, Aug. 11th, the local boys will be featured in a field day at Lake Lauderdale against Corey's All-Stars. This will probably be one of the hardest games the S. Poultney lads have played so far this season. The boys are preparing. At practice, every evening, they are concentrating on a hitting attack so as to give their ace something to work on. The lineup is as follows : Jose Pomoloski (pitch); Quill Hughes (catch); Arvon Hughes (1st) ; Joe Pafundi (2d) ; Mike DeBonis (3rd) ; Dan DeBonis (short) ; Paul Pomoloski (l.f.) ;Red Parry (c.f.) ; Ted Pafundi (r.f.) ; and little John Hughes is aways the capable reserve who fills in every gap and does it well.

As I have said in previous posts I believe that my Hooker line, up to this point, goes to Daniel and Mary (Gates) Hooker through their son Stephen . All the records I have seen online show Daniel's father as Jacob Hooker born in Stow MA. I am the Linda who started out looking for Stephen G. Hooker, b. VT in 1824, married to Helen N. Norton and moved to Chicago, IL. My grandfather changed his name from Hooker to Farrell and never told his son, my father, or the rest of his "new" family. My brother and I have traced us back to Stephen G. Hooker and even have contacted our second cousin 1x removed who is almost 80. My brother has had his DNA results done and we are waiting for our cousin's to be done soon. So we want to figure out the Daniel Hooker mystery. I know that there is a big difference in opinion for Daniel Hooker. Some say he is from Germany himself. Some say he is from Littleton, Middlesex County, Mass. This has gone on apparently for a long time. I'd like to know if anyone has any answers or thoughts on this or how to solve this mystery. If Daniel's father is Jacob who was born in Stow, Mass; then how can he be from Germany himself? If Jacog isn't his father, then who is? I think all records I have seen and family trees online that are of this line, show Jacob as being Daniel's father. Some even say that a Matthew is Jacob's father. Perhaps this Matthew is from Germany? I would just like to discuss this with others who are also stuck at this block wall and see if someone has solved it or if we can figure it out together. I would even be willing to start an email list at RootsWeb or Yahoo for those interested to use so we would not take time from others. I hope to hear from the ladies I have heard from before who I bcc'd this email to. My personal email is [email protected] Thanks very much. Linda Lathrop nee Hooker
