The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1894-01-17


East Montpelier made known the fact that
he has taken the paper continuously for sixty
years, and that General Farley Davis, his
grandfather who died in 1913, took the
WATCHMAN from its first issue to the time of
his death. Mr.. Arms is one of many of the
old guard of WATCHMAN subscribers, and
such constituency, dating back through
continuous half century or more, has been
one of which this paper has always been,
and is to-day, proud.
