> > Actually the child's death occurred Sept 22, 1883, not 1888. I am glad you found this Cathy, because I honestly spent several hours several times looking for the event in the paper, on microfilm and then the paper itself at the historical society and I could not find it to save my life. Great articles you have been putting forth for all to see. It never fails to amaze me how you could look at the front page of the Rutland Herald in the 1860's and find out about murders, marriages, what have you, in places far away. Sometimes the articles are more detailed than the local news. _________________________________________________________________ Make the most of your family vacation with tips from the MSN Family Travel Guide! http://dollar.msn.com

Hi Patty, I remember your kind efforts. I had been told by a family member that her date of death was 1883, if you recall. Then Florence Reil of Castleton (she and husband John laboriously copied and record cemeteries in Castleton) gave me a date of 1884 for newspaper articles and the journal entry she'd found, etc. I could never find anything on ANY of the dates! You had written me that Jenks had Carrie's death as 1888, so that's what you were going by. Easy to see how 1888 and 1883 can be misread, especially on a gravestone! I was absolutely thrilled today to get this from Cathy, as you can imagine. I know you did everything you could to try to find this for me some time ago, too. I am amazed that Cathy found so many articles in so many different SOURCES! Amazing. Again, thank you both for your good efforts on my behalf.
