My ancestors came from Dover and
my great-grandfather lies buried in
the little cemetery at "middletown. !"
He was one Of the early settlers there
and helped clear farm that is now
fast passing back into the wilderness.
What once was the village of the
"middletown" of Dover is now group
of old houses, only one of which APP
peared to be occupied. In the midst
of the dying settlement is an old coun.
try meeting house which has already
outlasted its congregation and is as
doomed as the village OF which it was
once the pride and stay.

Near the top OF the Hill which is the
watershed between the Deerdeld and
West river we passed what is known
as the DIR. E,tabrook place where a
large two story house which must have
been fine mansion 10 its day, is now
in ruins and will drop into the cellar
within a year or two. On the two sides
OF the road here are probably IS to
100 acres OF what was once titled land
but now largely grown up 10 brlsh
la several places small patches had
been gone over with a moving mach
inc this year but, judging from what is
left, the crop could hardly have teen
worth cutting and within few years
this old farm will be covered with
woods.

These old hills once supported a

reflected that in Bennington this fall
1t has been practically impossible to

it seemed strange that these apples
should be allowed TO rot on the

is fourteen miles and the expense oi
