For those of you who unfamiliar with 1941 telephone numbers, 58-12 means line 58 (which usually had 4 homes attached) and you only answered if the ring was 1 long and 2 shorts. If you hear an additional click after you answer, then a neighbor is listening in. I would call my neighbor without involving the operator by turning the crank on the phone with the appropriate long and short rings.
Our town physician at the time Dr. Cayward was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Appleton. He turned down offers to be a professional baseball player in order to serve New Ipswich. He's in the UVM Hall of Fame. He also served as coach of UVM's basketball team while in med school! It would be nice to see clips of some of those papers.
"A piece of lead had scratched on it the names of the children of Nathan Sanders, who made this lead box, and he lived in what is now known as the Dixon Wheeler house and had a tin shop in the building below, now a dwelling house. "
Does anyone point me to the Dixon Wheeler house, please? Many thanks!

Would be interesting to know what was written in those police regulations. Do they still exist?
Would you happen to know the Newspaper name and date that this clipping came from?
and by the way, I love the diary entries ....
My 3rd Great Grandfather, Nathan Sanders....
