Longtime Peru Town Clerk Remembers a Lifetime of Service
In Peru Vermont, 51 years as town clerk are recalled by Mrs. Whitney who also served as schoolteacher and librarian trustee. She helped with tax lists, served in the 1947 Vermont Legislature, and remains a community figure in a town shaped by Bromley Mountain and roadless days. Her life bridged schools, churches, and local governance from 1878 birth through recent town meetings.
