Leroy T. Hills

"Nor shall their story be forgot, while fame her record keeps."

This free-hand drawing on a scrap of paper, commemorating Leroy T. Hills, was found among some old papers. It appears to have had a photo in the center of the medal but I did not find it. I still have more papers to go through and hopefully we will find out what Leroy looked like.

Possibly Mary Cadwell Hills

Possibly Gertrude Hills Shaffer

Uncle Charles?

This young fellow is wearing a uniform but I'm not sure what it is. The cabinet photo is marked what appears to be 'Uncle Charles' in pencil at the bottom on the front. Can anyone read the handwriting and verify his name is Charles for me? Handsome lad.

Vermont Civil War Soldier

This young man is quite possibly a Vermont Civil War soldier. This old tintype was discovered among some vintage papers and letters from a local estate. No information was found with him to identify him but he may be from the East Wallingford, Vermont area. He could possibly be related to the families of Bourne, McCann or Graves, who have lived in this town for several generations. He sure was a handsome young fellow.

Any help identifying him or describing what he's wearing would be greatly appreciated.

Horse with tail over 11 feet long

You have to admit, this is an amazing old photo of a horse. The mane is 7 1/2 feet long and the tail is 11 1/2 feet long. The photo was taken in New Jersey around 1901. Can you imagine the care and upkeep for this horse to maintain all that hair? Wonder how long it took to braid it and I wonder who owned this beautiful creature.

Hey Ma, what's for supper?

A note on this old photo indicates it was taken in California. Nice catch of fish but I sure wouldn't want to clean them. Food preparation can be a nasty job when starting from scratch.

New Purol-ETHYL gasoline

Circa 1936

This photo of a town clerk's office and store front is dated January 1936. Not sure where this is located though. Anyone know what town this is? The ad on the side of the building reads New Purol-ETHYL Gasoline. There are more signs on the left but they are difficult to read.

Elmer Hutchings

Elmer Hutchings

Not sure where or when this old photo was taken but the name written on it to identify the man pushing the cart reads Elmer Hutchings. It appears he may be moving some furniture. Check out the horse and buggy in the background. The building looks like a store.

We may have found our missing propane tank after Hurricane Irene swept through the village

On Sunday, August 28, 2011 Hurricane Irene swept through Vermont and caused major flooding. Our little shop is located in the village of Cuttingsville next to a bridge that spans Mill River. We had 4 feet of water in the shop and the large propane tank located on the outside of the building disappeared. A few days ago we began the spring cleanup around the yard and inspected the property. We made a surprising discovery under the bridge. Not sure yet if this is our propane tank but we found one wedged up under the bridge!

The local volunteer fire department was called immediately but they determined the tank was empty and called the energy company. The tank was retrieved 2 days later. The brave firefighters did a fantastic job responding to the call and it was a relief to find out we weren't in any danger. Thanks SVFD! My heroes!

The horse and buggy days

A handsome lady, horse and rig

There is nothing like the sound of a horse walking along a country road...clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop. Not the best way to travel in inclement weather but on a sunny summer day there is nothing like it.

The mid-wife of Mt. Holly, Vermont and her horse

According to the information on the back of this photo's frame this lady was a mid-wife who lived in Mt. Holly, Vermont. She drove around in a buggy to deliver babies. Does anyone know her name and the name of her horse? Judging by her clothing this photo may have been taken in the late 1800's or early 1900's.

Do you know where and when this fire happened?

These photos may have been taken here in Vermont but I have no way to be sure. There was no information on the back of these real photo post cards and I don't recognize the landmark. Fires are never a good thing and back then fire fighting apparatus was minimal at best.
