her ancestors which well might be writ
ten INTO town history. Her ancestors,
the Moores, came to this town in 1859
and settled in what has been known as
the Moore neighborhood in the north
part of the town Her great grand
father and his brothers came from more
progressive places than Putnev was at
that time and thev considered the old
time punishment in the stocks. which
existed At that time, very unjust. scon-
sidering that the settlers had come to
| this country for freedom and the priv
ilege Of worshipping God as they
pleased. They saw people put into the
stocks for not attending church un-
/ less there was q good reason and scold-
/ ing wives were also detained in the
/ stocks. The injustice of the punishment
| grew upon the Moores until they final
Fly stole the stocks and hid them. but
! they were found after a time and again
used until another punishment seemed
| to the Moore brothers to be too severe,
| when they stole them again, this time
hiding them where they were not found
Later, when one of the Moore girls
married a Mr.. Hubbard and settled at
! Hubbardton (Vt.), they had a family
of I6 children and had to build a large
house. Mr. Hubbard asked Mr. Moore
if he knew where there was any sea
scned oak to make into building pins
and he replied that he did and brought
forth the oak stocks and they were
made into pins which put together the
house in Ilubbardton where the Hub,
bards lived.
DR.. Plantz was rich in "reminiscences
as witty as ever, and very enjovabl,
