Source, Rutland (Vt) Daily Herald--Mon.Nov.30, 1891. JOHN P. BOWMAN'S WILL. Offered For Probate and a Contest Made by Relatives. The will of John P. Bowman, who died recently in Cuttingsville was offered for probate Friday by the executors. S. & L. M. Brown at the Surrogate's court in Glens Falls, N.Y. Until he came to Cuttingsville Mr. Brown lived in Stony Creek, N.Y., and had large interest there.The will was made December 25, 1885, it provides for the creation of a trust fund of $ 100,000, the income of which shall be devoted to the care and maintenance of the mausoleum erected by him in Cuttingsville some years ago at an expense of nearly $ 100,000. The remainder of is property is bequeathed in equal of his property to two nieces of his wife, Minnie Martin, who lived in the family for a long time, and Jennie Gifford of Akron,O. A codicil dated about two years later reduced the amount of the trust fund from $ 100,000 to $ 50,000. George P. Foster and Samuel F. Smith of Shrewsbury are made the trustees of this fund, and at their death it shall be turned over to a corporation formed for that purpose. Mr. Foster has since died and Mr. Smith is the only trustee living. The will contested by nephews and nieces of Mr. Bowman, who ,it is understood,will allege undue influence, incompetency to make a will and other charges. The delegation, it is expected, will be died this week in the court. The contestants are : Charles P., Laura L., Walter A. and Lyman Smith ; Eleanor E.,Joseph Edward B., George W. Edwin, jr., John B., Lyman S. and Hugh H. Congdon; Laura L. Hodges and Ella B. Ingalls, who live in Clarendon, except Laura L. Smith, who lives in Washington, ILL. The hearing opened Friday before Judge Cheritree of Glens Falls and formal proof of the execution of the will was made. The witnesses of the will was made. The witnesses of the will, which was executed in Glens Falls, were Daniel Peck, William A. Wait and Mr. Kin of that town. The will was signed at the law offices of S. & L. M. Brown, according to the testimony of Mr. Peck, who became a witness at the request of Mr. Bowman. Mr. Wait did not remember any of the circumstances , but identified his signature as well as the others. The witnesses to the execution of the codicil, which was done in Stony Creek, were Judge Brown and William H. Allen of Boston. Ex-Judge Lawrence, counsel for the contestants, objected to the probate of the will on the ground that the Surrogate's court had no jurisdiction, as Mr. Bowman lived in Rutland county and the will should be offered for probate there.The proponents claimed that Mr. Bowman had large interests in Stony Creek and although he had property in Cuttingsville , he only went there to look after it when he was taken sick and died. The court overruled the objection. All the attesting witnesses to the will and codicil were examined and cross-examined, when an adjournment was taken until January 4. It is thought that at that time the hearing will last several says. The amount of the property at stake is estimated to be about $ 200,000. The lawyers engaged in the case are A. D. Wait of Fort Edward, who appears for the executor; Joel C. Baker of Rutland for Minnie Martin; Edwin E. Voris of the firm of Barit & Voris of Akron, O., for Jennie Gifford and King & Ashley, with Mr. Lawrence, for the contestants.

Rutland Herald Jan. 11, 1907 "Old Timer Gone" Patrick Lamb Former Driver of Old Stage Coach Passes Away. Patrick Lamb age 85 died at his home at 409 West St. at 6:40 o'clock yesterday morning. Thurs. morning at nine o'clock he received a stroke of paralysis while waiting in the yard of his home and did not regain consciousness before his death. Mr.Lamb was one of the last survivng stage drivers of the old days before the railroads took the place of stage coaches. He was born in County Meath Ireland and came to this country at the age of 15 years. He first lived in Castleton but spent most of his life in Rutland where he was first employed to drive the mail coach by Cook and Bardwell of this city. One of the routes was to Castleton and Whitehall NY, and another to Walpole N H. When the coming of the railroads robbed the old stages of their usefulness he became a porter in the old Franklyn house on Main St. and later worked on the construction of the Bardwell House. For many years he was a coachman for W.Y. Ripley, the father of the late Gen. W.Y.W. Ripley of this city. Until five years ago he worked in the Evergreen Cemetery. He married here 51 years ago and leaves a widow who is 76 years old, two sons Edward and James F. and three daughters Mary A., Kate E. and Margaret G.. His is the first death in the family. Mr. Lamb had never been severely ill a day in his life. His eldest son is 41 years of age. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at St.Peter's Church at 2:30 o,clock" my notes: The Ripley that Patrick worked for was the head of the Rutland Marble Co. and it was members of this family that visited County Meath on a European Tour and met a former family housemaid lonesome for Rutland. I think McGuirk one of the Ripley's chief blacksmiths was a Meath man as well. The Meath people must have had an inside track for Ripley employment. Peter Patten

Patty, Thanks for your efforts on the Gleason/Sheedy lookups, 'preciate it. These would be ancestors of the Fair Haven Perrys whom you may or may not know. Dwight Perry married Gleason girl had Tom Perry Tom Perry married Anita Foley had 5 boys Tom, Tim, Mike, Dennis, Brian all now adults in Fair Haven Castleton area (except Tom RIP) BUT, to make a short story long , the reason I was looking Gleason Sheedy up was to try to find their Irish place of origin for the big Sheedy website and to place them locally in the context of the various Tipperary , Limerick, Clare groups that settled around here.

Karol, Fair Haven Era Jan. 24, 1907 "Under the heading of 'An Old Timer Gone' the Rutland Herald of Saturday morning , notes the death at his home 409 Weast St. in that city of Patrick Lamb age 85. Patrick was one of the few remaining stage drivers, who handled the ribbons in this section prior to the advent of the railroads. He came direct from Ireland to this place 60 years ago and during nearly all years of his employ here was employed by E. Foster Cook, who kept the old Mansion House on the ground now occupied by the Bomoseen. (Castleton Village). Bardwell and Cook also operated all the lines of stage coaches centering here prior to the fall of 1850. They built the Bardwell House in 1851 and moved to Rutland but Mr. Cook continued handling the mails between Rutland and Whitehall, for sometime thereafter. Pat Lamb carried the mail for them between Rutland and Castleton in a buggy driving a good horse. In the fall of 1851-52 the writer was employed in Rutland and many a comfortable nice ride he enjoyed with him between Rutland and his home here but met seldom his old acquaintance of 60 years, during more than half a century in which his home was in Rutland." written by James Brennan.

Joan, Thanks for the obituary for Horace Kingsley. Just when I think I've got about all there is on these Kingsleys, you come up with something else! In this obit there is a son listed that I didn't previously know about, and a 2nd son listed that I had only heard of once before and questioned because of the lack of information about him. In the obit it sounded like both these sons were still living - Chester and Henry W. Guess I have more digging to do! Thanks for all your time and effort. Sandra
