     This is the Homepage and Page 1 of six newspaper pages, repositories for hundreds (and eventually, I hope, thousands) of relevant accounts from newspapers in Rutland & Washington counties, most for the period 1840-1910s.  The vast majority of these snippets and articles have nothing specifically to do with the Delehantys.  They are included here because they offer extraordinarily rich and detailed accounts of various aspects of Rutland County social and cultural history, and taken together help to put the Delehantys' lives & experiences in a broader social and cultural context.  The navigation bar above appears on all six newspaper pages.

 

     Articles that add something important to our knowledge of Rutland & Washington county histories from the beginning of newspaper-time through the early 1900s will appear in these six pages, including those appearing in Joe Doran, ed., "News Articles File:  Slate Quarries in West Castleton, Vermont  (unpublished mss, Fair Haven Free Library, 1998) and other compilations generously shared by Joe Doran (abbreviated here as "JDN" for "Joe Doran News Articles Collection"), and by other people on RootsWeb ("RW/[posting date]") and elsewhere, and that I compiled myself (the latter appear without attribution; those contributed by others are acknowledged as such).

 

     Relevant newspapers include the Rutland Herald, the Vermont Era (Fair Haven Era after ca. 1880), the Poultney Journal, and the Granville Sentinel. 

 

     This page remains all but empty; page 2 (1870s) has has a fair number of articles transcribed & summarized; there's a fair amount more not yet transcribed on the photo pages.  All WCJ-Newspaper pages are still under construction, and will be for a long time, I hope.

Sept. 1, 1855.  Rutland Herald?

 

-- SLATE.  No article in Mechanics' Hall attracted more attention, or has elicited better notices from the press abroad, than the many beautiful and valuable articles of Marbelized Slate from West Castleton.  There were also specimens of Roofing Slate from other quarries.  Messrs. Barnes & Barrett had a miniature house covered with excellent slate from the Western Vermont quarry.  There were blocks of slate from the Eagle quarry at Poultney, which were split into slate, on the Fair Ground, by skillful workmen.  We were told by a spectator from Lexington, Mass., that Vermont Slate was almost exclusively used in roofing buildings in Boston.  Boston knows her interest.
