The local members of the Vermont
society of Colonial Danes will be inter-
ested in recommendations of Wallace
c. Clement of Rutland. whose wife is
president of the state society, regarding
the proposed marker for the site of the
Ann Story cabin in Salisbury. At the
request Of the president Mr.. Clement has
visited the location of the old cabin,
which stood west of the highway leading
from West Salisbury to Middlebury
Directly west of the site, but
few feet distant, is a large lime
stone ledge, which in some places is from
80 to 40 feet high. Fletcher d. Proctor
has given a monument for a marker, and
Mr.. Clements idea is to level off the top
of the ledge and place the monument
thereon, face off one side of the ledge
put suitable inscriptions on both the
monument and the face of the ledge,
and put markers at the four corners of
the site of the old cabin. Mr.. and Mrs
Columbus Smith have decided to the So
ciety the site of the cabin and a right
of way leading thereto. This will be the
first historical site to be marked by the
state society.
