RUTLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Introduction

The fifth compilation of news items from the Rutland Herald spans 1 800-1805. We have done our best to try to locate all issues in this time period. There are many issues missing. During 1800, the last two pages of nearly every issue are devoted to the printing of statutes. Thus, that year there were not as many ads, etc. as usual. Because there is far less information available, we decided to include 1 800 in this booklet. Presently everything has been extracted from 1800-1825. The next compilation covering 1826-1830 is in progress.

The first issue of the Rutland Herald or Vermont Mercury was published at Rutland, Vermont on 8 December 1794. The four-page weekly newspaper was devoted mostly to international, national and state events, especially on the political scene. It also carried notices and advertisements for the county, some local news, death notices and marriages. Due to the lengthy reports of hostilities in the South during the Civil War, publication went daily in April 1861.

Because the project of copying details from these newspapers is so massive and time-consuming, it was decided to release this information in five year increments. Every effort has been made to locate the missing issues.

The reader should be informed that when reading the obituaries and marriages that “this town” is Rutland; inst. refers to the present month and ult. to the month prior. Consort is the spouse; relict is the widow. These notices not only included Rutland, but various other towns in Vermont and other states. Unfortunately the state is not always listed after each town where the event occurred. The original spelling has been kept throughout. It must be noted that these notices were handwritten and were deciphered by the newspaper staff. Thus misspellings do occur. It is often difficult to read the microfilm due to the age of the newspapers.

Our sincere gratitude is extended to the following:

Rutland Herald — Faye Wener, Archivist, and John Mitchell, Publisher

Readex Corporation — Stanley Shapiro
