E. Ford's, also at Mrs. B. G. Metcalfs
and Mrs. Charles Dodge's. In 1913
Mr. Tracy married Belinda Ford,
daughter of Herman Ford, resident
of this town. At the time of their
marriage there were twelve children
in the Ford family, six boys and six
girls, not one of them living at the
present time. Mr.. Tracy lived at Nor
risville, VT, at which place his wife
died. He married again and some
time after with his family moved to
Iowa, where he now resides. He
thought that journey back to the
home of his youth should be taken at
this time as he Is 81 years of age, and
therefore could not put it off longer,
so accompanied by his wife they are
visiting their native state. His rela-
tives in town enjoyed his visit very
much. Mr.. Tracy was born in the
Capt. Morey house at Fairlee. They
went from this town to Morey lake.
