niscences of olden times, as related by one
who is lightweight years old, and the
youngest of a family of fifteen children,
and who came here at an early day from
Connecticut. Her father was the late
Capt. William Boland, who, having dis
posed Of his farm in southern Connect

dren, the husband of two of his daugh
ters and their children, seven in all, -four
being left with Noah Griswold, of Rut-
land came, in the winter of 1888 4, with
an OK team, to C4stletou. The father and
three of his eldest sons had purchased
farms and erected log cabins here, in
which they began to live according to the
fashions of those days. One of the young
est sons was bound out to the Rev. Mr..
Cazier, the first settled minister of Cas-
Teton, and lived on the farm now owned
by Harvey Griswold, E-q, The two ED
est sons remained at home with their
father. In order to procure their grain
they were compelled to go to Connecticut
on horseback, as there were then no car
riage roads, and binding the grain to The |
horse, led him, thus loaded, back TO Yer
mont Many q meal has this family made |
from wheat sbelled out with their own
hands, when ripe enough, and eating it
with a bowl Of milk. One of the daugh- |
terra, Jerusha Boland, is still living in
Rutland. and l. now the widow Smith, q /
