Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1911-01-04

A year ago the Monitor printed a
series of articles on the history of Or
leans county. 1t was received with
favor not only in the county, but
throughout the state, and by readers
in different parts Of the United
States.
One most interesting part of county
history could not be developed in such
a series. Only slight attention could
be given to family lines.
The Monitor begins, with the New
Y ear a most interesting and impor-
tant work. 1t asks the help of all it's
readers in bringing together informa
ton concerning the pioneer families
of Vermont. This can best be done
through a Pioneer Department which
will appear each week. To it ques-
tions concerning the early families of
Vermont may DE sent. The Monitor
will have at command the best facili-
ii es for obtaining desired informa
ton. Readers are earnestly requested
to answer such questions when posi-
BILE or to give any information bear
ing upon them. Ask any questions
members of early families.
The floor is open:
