Q U E S T I O N S: Suggest that being a part of the Historical Society of Weathersfield, Vermont can offer you more information and add to your people's profile of history research, such as the work they were involved with, hardships of living in this town, working as a farmer, or hand to the farmer, caretaker and so forth, worked at keeping the roads clear and graded, worked for the town and other such things, such as teacher.

Where did they live within the township? How far did the kids have to walk to go to school, IN THE SNOW? Weather Conditions of the town, year of the big snows? Live stock handlers for the sheep? Sheep industry itself, Lumber Mills, Grist Mills, Apple industry, Cider Mills, and Maple sugar industry. What kind of Mill was located at Perkinsville? How many people were hired to work at that location? Where were the wool bens and where did the clippers do their work? Who was employed at the Government control Dam in the Valley? Who cut all that grass in that bottom land? What other projects were being done within the town?

M I L I T A R Y: Who were the men in Weathersfield and what Military Units were at Weathersfield, Vermont who are not buried here? What kind of Military Units were they? Light Infantry or Cannons? What did the weapons look like? What were the weapons? Who of them joined Ira Allen Reg., Green Mountain Eastern Confluence to guard against the British on Vermont’s boundary’s against the British movements.

C o m m e n t s:Rules of Cemeteries are to be observed with reverence, when visiting in these cemeteries. Do not take rubbings, or any other method to get the information off the stones, even the acid from your hands, is destructive to the stones. In time it will destroy the surface of the stone where it, in time will not be readable. The best way to obtain data from the stone, is to purchase a camera at the store and take pictures close up. So that you have and can preserve the data from off the stones. Contact proper authorities for Services and Flag, placements.

Note:In cemeteries it is reasonable to have visitor registration booths, placements where the outside visitors may leave, comments, as to who they are looking for, and contact as to how they can be reached. For other means it is reasonable to contact the Historian for the town and or County, should one be assigned. Other means is the Federal snail Mail contact as shown. Another contact is the computer E-Mail and last is the phone contact should one be assigned, from the township.
