This was taken from the Harlow quarry

Co. The stone weighed e601 lbs. This
was three years prior to the coming in Of
the Ellis Granite company and the Wood
bury Granite company. The Courier said
IN its issue Of Feb. 2, 1899. in regard to
these quarries:-''It is claimed By experts
that the Bethel quarries have as large an
acreage as those so extensively worked at
Barre and il would seem that some OF
Vermont's spare capital could not be bet
ter invested than in developing the Bethel
granite quarries. At different times Ii
past years large quantities Of stone have
been quarried here. At the time the
piers we're put in for the Royalton bridge
as many as 100 men were empIoyed 4 wear
In the Woodwork quarries. Most OF the
stone in the different quarries lies near
the surface aud the quarries lie within
two miles OF the railroad with 4 down
grade all the way"
