Hello, My g-g-g-grandmother, Mehitable (Hetty) Daby, widow of Jonathan Daby died in Ludlow, VT 3 Jan 1837. I know that her maiden name was Wheeler and not much else. Can you please tell me if there was a newspaper published in Ludlow that far back that might have carried an obituary on her? I am anxious to learn who her parents were and would also live to know where she was buried. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Richard G. Smith Burnet, TX

Richard I found Hetty, widow of Janathan Daby Jan. 3, 1837 in Record of Deaths, Town of Ludlow, Vt. No other info on her in the book. If no one knows any info for you, I should be able to get into the town office in a few days, and see if there is other info available. Janice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard G.
