In the town of PantOn, Addison county,
there were born, over half century ago,
three brothers, Philo, Philemon, and Russell
Bristol, each of whom has since married and
reared TO manhood family of sons, who are
remarkable for their steady habits and sound
business qualifications.
The family of Philo Bristol contains four
sons. About seven years ago one Of them,
Albert, sought his fortune in the far West.
One day while wandering on the plains, near
Fort Collins, Colorado, he was oyertaken by
one of those deadly northeasters, and sought
shelter in the sheds OF L sheep ranch. When
nearly frozen he was discovered by the owner
of the ranch, who proved to be William N.
Batchelder, former resident of Castleton,
VI, where he was at one time proprietor of
large hotel, but meeting with losses, his
failure followed, and he had subsequently
sought and retrieved his fortunes in Colora-
do. Mr.. Bristol entered his employ, and
soon became a partner. When, later, the
partnership was dissolved, Mr.. Bristol enter
cd extensively into ranch farming, rearing
sheep and wool until now, at "a years of
age, he is the owner CT u sufficient number
of ranches TO keep 80 900 sheep. His home
ranch is near Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory,
and he Is ut present the largest individual
owner of sheep in the State of Colorado, hay
ing on his various ranches 10000 head.
From 1000 of these the present season he
has clipped a, 900 pounds of wool, which he
has shipped 10 Philadelphia, where he ex-
poets TO realize 80 cents per pound.
Noah Bristol. the oldest sou, IN extensive
hay and produce buyer in Vermont, was soon
induced 10 join his brother Albert in his
Western home, and now the thriving town
Of Bristol, Colorado, named after this family.

vice president of the First National Bank at

ranches in the State Myron Bristol, an
other son, for many years merchant in
Nergennes, is also interested in several sheep
ranches, and is now in Colorado TN Tues
