Brooks Farm Fire Destroys Historic Site Near Fort Dummer
A blaze sparked by a passing locomotive destroyed the Brooks farm buildings near the site of Fort Dummer. George Birch and his family barely saved livestock and furnishings as the fire consumed the barn and outbuildings within about an hour. The family plans to continue farming and market gardening on remaining land. The farm’s history ties to Fort Dummer and the Brooks family, with structures dating to 18th and 19th centuries.

Fail to Agree in Boal Estate Case Disputed by Court
From the county court comes a report of a contentious bond estate deal involving Barbee and Whitaker with Edgett handling the sale. The jury failed to agree on the real estate commission dispute tied to Windham and Springfield properties. A separate case concerned Burroughs seeking a commission from a HalifaxAthol exchange that did not close. A third matter involved Wilmington Savings Bank pursuing a note forged in a Halifax fraud case against Charles H. Waste, who denied signing the questioned instrument. The jury found for Waste after expert handwriting testimony. The Baldwin case against Central Vermont Railway over defective air brakes proceeded with a trial and awaits verdict. The piece also notes Batchelder’s remarks on organizing Young Men’s Republican clubs and prohibition stance at a Brattleboro convention.
