What was life like in the early 1800s in Vermont? One good primary source of information is a review of the old journals and newspapers of the times to glean from them how people lived and how families and businesses were enveloped in community life. In researching Families of the Black River Valley region of Windsor County, Vermont, I often refer to these wonderful sources for individual and family data and supplemental information. Even though my concentration has been on the families of Baltimore, Cavendish, Ludlow, Chester, Reading, West Windsor; I have also needed to research material in Weathersfield, Windsor, Springfield, Barnard, Hartland, Andover, and other towns nearby. In this process, I have been able to clip information about people and families that others might not have seen. The following pages offer a good example of the rich material, often times untapped, which can help researchers find more information about families they are researching. The mircrofilm projects of the 1970s and 1980s of the Vermont State Library in Montpelier, have made many of these old newspapers available for review by researchers such as myself.

The Notices in the following pages were taken from various issues of the Windsor based newspaper and were typescribed from microfilm of the original newspapers during the month April, 2000. I alphabetized each notice by primary surname and after that name, placed in parenthesize the name of the town so that the notices could be reviewed in some kind of order.

Chandler, Timothy, Maj. (Concord). Distressing Accidents.. Fire! On Thursday night the 17th instant, between the hours of 11 and 12, a fire broke out in the clock manufactory of Major Timothy Chandler of this town. It was not discovered until the roof was in flames, and the fire bursting through the sides of the building, and notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the fire engine company and a great number of the citizens of the town, to check its progress, the conflagration continued until the whole of his buildings, consisting of a large two-story house, two-story shop, a good barn, several sheds & c. were totally consumed, together with all his stock in trade, tools, a number of finished clocks, clock cases, and two barn full of hay, grain, & c. & c. to the amount of between five and six thousand dollars —— Tow large barns, sheds, &c. full of hay, grain, and other property to a large amount, belonging to Mr. Robert Harris and standing near the place where the fire broke out, were also completely destroyed.

(noticed 27 March, 1809).

Hartford, Conn. (C) The Spotted Fever.. Remarks by Dr. Cogswell of Hartford...(noticed 16 March, 1810) "I noted some hints several weeks since accusing the Physicians of this state of the criminal neglect for not giving to the public the result of their experience on the Spotted Fever, and hearing that a number of physicians met at Farmington for that purpose, and not having leisure to attend said meeting ,I offer the following remarks, which the result of my experience alone, without any assistance from books. The disease appeared in the town of Winchester, in Litchfield County in April, 1807 when the frost was dissolving and the ground breaking up, and was noticed to make the attacks most frequently in rainy weather. Young people, under the age of twenty, were most liable to it and among adults, females more liable than males. No age not sex, however were free from the attacks. It assumed in different subjects all grades of disease, from a mild fever to a perfect plague. The symptoms were various according to its inveteracy. It attacks with lassitude chills, great prostration of strength, eyes red and watery, pupils dialed in some cases, in others small, like dying persons; often delirium with exquisite pain in the head, great anxiety at stomach, with tossing of the body, nausea and often a troublesome vomiting pain, and lameness in some of the limbs, often ushered in the disorder. There was a soreness of the flesh and generally spots on the skin, the size of half a common turkey shot, were scattered over the body, resembling blood blisters, likewise, of various sixes and shapes in different parts, which were dark or florid, and a dark or light color of their spots and florescences gave a clue to a favorable or unfavorable prognosis. The darker, the more dangerous. In some after the chills, there was great heat, which was of the thrilling, stinking kind. The pulse, like other symptoms, was various, sometimes considerably full, but generally very weak, quick, and irregular. The disease sometimes in this fashion assumed the inflammatory type. Sometimes the synochus, but generally the typhus. The violent symptoms were great lasting, with universal pains in the muscles, chills, heats, if any, were of short duration. Unusual prostration of strength, delirium with fevers, pain in the head, vomiting, with indescribable anxiety at the stomach, eyes, red and watery and rolled up and the head drawn up with spasm, pulse quick, weak and irregular, petechiae and vibices all over the body, and a cadaverous countenance and smell - death often closed the scene in ten or fifteen hours after the first attack. Some however survived all these symptoms. Those who died, generally appeared to sink away under the load of disease, became cold and low and died comatose, with all the marks of general mortification; others went off suddenly, apparently apoplectic. The body near the fatal period and soon after, become as spotted as an adder and demonstrated a general dissolution of the fluids. Those who survived these symptoms appeared to owe their life to a very liberal use of strong stimulants and tonics, and when the vital flame began to be rekindled in the system, some grievous affection most certainly appeared; such as inflammation of the joints, like the acute rheumatism or an eryipelatous affection of the skin, or raking pains without any morbid external appearance, convulsions, spasms, &c. These external affections often proved very lingering and tedious and in some instances quite exhausted the patient. This however, generally proved a manageable state of the disease, and rather to be desired than feared. Respecting the method of treatment. Physicians judged differently as they probably always will, when diseases assume unusual forms. Some were depending entirely on evacuants, others on stimulants and tonics; the violence of the symptoms seemed to demand potent remedies and the shortness of the term, that those remedies be early applied. It is highly important, in such violent diseases, where a physician can have no time to correct his own errors, that the state of the system be early and nicely distinguished. In some instances, in this season, the disease undoubtedly put on the inflammatory type in which blood letting proved a remedy, but subsequent experience has convinced me that it was used much too often. The heat was frequently to great and of such duration that a very early use of evacuations from the stomach and bowels gave manifest relief. But this, like bleeding, was carried too far, generally in this season, stimulants and tonics were the most successful. I pretty early learned that faintness was very hazardous and if blood letting was used, that it ought to be in a recumbent posture. From a small child in a few cases where there was infant, the anxiety and tossing of the body, accompanied with great heat where ease was produced by small openings in the veins of the hands or feet, and the blood suffered to flow by drops. I likewise saw several who were brought into a low comatose state by a small bleeding, which cases entirely baffled the power of medicine; and proved fatal. A low comatose state with occasional vomiting was most to be feared. An apoplectic state was likewise very dangerous. I saw some lie in that state for a considerable time, where the heat of the body, the respiration and pulse were as manageable by medicine as they are in fevers generally, but nothing gave the least relief from the affection of the brain. When patents were raised from a low comatose state, it was done by large quantities of stimulants and tonics. When wine or ardent spirits were given in such quantities, as to produce a degree of intoxication, they never appeared to do nay injury. Having no guide but experiment, bleeding, vomiting, purging, sweating, and stimulating were all tried. —The methods to procure it were various, but that which proved the most certain and easy, was by the application of external stimulates. Fomentations with hot cloths, the application of hot blocks, hot bricks or stones, and Laudanum, brandy, wine, essence of peppermint, hot fling, hot herb teas, such as pennyroyal, peppermint, rue saffron, and many kinds of warm teas by themselves and with spirits were used, according to the habits of the patient, and other circumstances. When herb teas would fit on the stomach and produce sweat, I thought them preferable to ardent spirits, as not so apt to produce headache and delirium. Sweating produced by any hot applications, not so essential what seemed to answer the desired purpose; and after this method was adopted, the disease proved much less fatal. When those inflammatory affections of the limbs above-mention appeared, the treatment was various, but for those affections, simply blistering and mercurials were most successful. Those inflammations of the limbs frequently arrived to such a state as to require bleeding and antiphogitic, where a great degree of lowness had preceded. The seat of these inflammations often changed and the fingers wrists, elbows, shoulders, back, knees, ankles and feet were alternately attacked, and the pain and lameness were so severe that the patient would cry out grievously on the least motion. The disease grew milder as the weather became warm, and disappeared at the heat of summer. Those who died chiefly went off with the lowness which took place early in the disease, some in five or six hours, but they generally died between 24 and 48 hours after the first attack. If they survived 43 hours, the disease assumed the type of fever and became manageable like other febrile diseases; some died at a later period, but no more than are commonly carried off by other bad conditioned fever. In September following, the disease made its appearance in the village of Winstead, attended with less inflammatory symptoms, the irruption on the skin was not so general, nor the inflammation of the joints so severe as in Winchester the preceding spring. the disease in this season frequently succeeded the influenza and more generally assumed the typhus form. Bleeding was tried but I believe always did harm. Sweating produced by external heat and internal stimulants proved most successful and was most generally used. In December following the disease appeared in the town of Goshen, and at first was treated like other fevers; several of the first cases proved fatal; then the stimulating sweating course was adopted and proved very successful. I saw but few cases myself, but was informed by an intelligent physician who attended, that the disease yielded generally to sweating, bark, wine, and other stimulants. The proportion of fatal cases was much less than had been in the adjacent towns. In the spring following, and forepart of summer, the disease appeared in various tons adjoining the first mentioned, with symptoms considerably different. An eruption on the skin so seldom appeared, that it could no longer be considered a characteristic symptom of the disease. Those spots, the size of half a shot, resembling blood blisters, have not appeared in those cases which I have seen; and these inflammations of the joints above mentioned are now seldom noticed. All the attacks for a year past which I have seen are of the typhus kind. I have not bled a patient for a twelve month when laboring under that disease, unless accompanied with some other complaint which I thought required it. I have seen some very malignant cases, but generally the disease the year past, has been milder than before. Bark, opium, ethers, peppermint, ardent spirit, wines, stimulating teas and sweating, with external heat, have been remedies used, and when applied in season, have seldom failed of success. I endeavor to obviate correctness with some kind of cathartic calomell is a favorite ingredient for that purpose. When there is vomiting, accompanying a sufficiency of viral strength, I have given vomits, but feeling the ill effects in a few cases, I am cautious in its use. External heat will continue the circulation for a considerable time and add to the chance of life in cases sunk by incessant vomiting. This method I confess admits of some exceptions in warm seasons, when the patient had been over stimulated, I have seen cool air, a cool room, and a cool bed very refreshing. Unexceptional rules cannot be introduced into the practice of physic. The symptoms of each case form the indications and must regulate the practice. I would recommend to people who reside at a distance from a physician to pay attention to nay kind of indisposition which gives reason to suspect this deplorable malady. If a person is attacked with pain or laments in the limbs, accompanied with chills, headache, vomiting, with great weakness, a pale sunk countenance, with a weak pulse, pains in the flesh generally, or any particular part, let him be put to bed and use as freely of hot sweating teas, with a little spirit as the stomach will bear, together with small doses of laudanum and essence of peppermint, repeated every few hours, and at the same time apply formentations, hot blocks or the steam of hot water externally. If the disease should not prove to be the spotted fever, the practice may give relief, or if the disease bye inflammatory and the practice injurious, the mischief produced may easily be remedied. I am induced to give this advice from acknowledge of the hasty progress of this doleful malady to death, and a conviction of the efficacy of this mode of treatment when early used, to prevent the result or mitigate the symptoms till a physician can be procured to give better advice.

At first it seemed to threaten us with a hurricane, the wind blowing from the west. In about 15 minutes it changed to north west when the rain began to pour down in torrents. A small rivulet called Joyner's Mill Brook rose to the height of 8 feet perpendicular in the space of 20 minutes — four feet higher than it has ever been known to rise before. A grist and sawmill, owned by Francis Joyner, Esq., together with the dam and bulk-head and a considerable quantity of pine boards, were hurried off into Onion River with great velocity. The grist mill was entirely swept away, not a trace of it was to be found, except one of the stones which was removed to the distance of about 14 rods.
