Maurice T. Jones 251 Club Photographs Maurice T. Jones (1922-2016) 251 Club Photographs, 1991-1996 FB-144, MS Size C Introduction This collection contains approximately 776 photographs of 167 Vermont towns taken by Maurice T. Jones (1922-2016) of Barre, Vermont, from 1991 to 1996. The collection was given to the Vermont Historical Society by Mr. Jones’s niece, Nancy Jones Audet, in 2016. The collection is housed in one archival flip top box and one oversized folder; it consumes .5 linear feet of shelf space. Biographical Note Maurice Taylor Jones was born on May 25, 1922, in Northfield Falls, Vermont, the son of Ward and Ella (Calef) Jones. He attended Lincoln Elementary School in Barre, Vermont, and graduated from Spaulding High School in 1940. He married Jean Newton of Moretown, Vermont, in 1949. The couple lived in St. Johnsbury, West Burke, Montpelier, and Barre. They did not have any children. Mr. Jones worked for New England Telegraph and Telephone Company and its successor companies from 1946 until 1981. Maurice and Jean were active in square dancing organizations and were members of Vermont’s 251 Club. They completed their quest to visit all 251 Vermont towns and gores in 2010. Jean died on August 9, 2013, and Maurice died on January 19, 2016. Scope and Content Note This collection contains approximately 776 photographs of 167 Vermont towns taken by Maurice T. Jones (1922-2016) of Barre, Vermont, from 1991 to 1996, while he traveled the roads of the state as part of the 251 Club, an organization that encourages its members to independently visit all 251 towns and gores in Vermont. Although this collection does not contain photographs of all 251 town and gores, it documents representative buildings and landscape views from many Vermont towns. The collection is particularly strong in photographs of churches, schools, town office buildings, and scenery. The photographs came to the Vermont Historical Society in the same envelopes in which they had been received by Mr. Jones from the photograph processor. Some of the envelopes had dates on them, but most of the photographs themselves were not identified. However, Mr. Jones kept a notebook and road atlas of his 251 club travels. Using these tools, VHS volunteer Tim Leno organized the photographs chronologically and geographically, inserted them into photo preservation sleeves, and indexed the contents of each sleeve. The header for each sleeve in this collection contains the month and year in which the photographs were taken (left), a sequential page number with a circle (middle), and the pages of the notebook in which the trip is documented (right). Vermont Historical Society • Barre, VT 05641-4209 Maurice T. Jones Photographs Page 2 Mr. Jones also documented his trips in a road atlas, highlighting the routes that he traveled with yellow, and annotating in pencil the exact date that he travelled on each road, often using an arrow to indicate the direction in which he travelled. The annotation “nice view” and “poor road” appears on some maps. Mr. Jones also circled the names of the towns he visited, perhaps in order to correlate his travels with the 251 Club’s official list of town names. The atlas now has tabs on many pages indicating the year(s) in which Mr. Jones traveled on that map. In the remotest areas of Vermont (Lewis and Averill), Mr. Jones’s map indicates that he cross- country skied into his destination. The collection includes three personal photographs: one photograph of his cat (page 28) and two photographs of his home in the hills of Barre Town in the fall (page 128). Related Collections The Vermont Historical Society library also holds historic photos from the Jones and Newton families donated at the same time that Mr. Jones’s Vermont towns photograph collection came to the VHS (MSA 766-767).

ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ALLOWED ON THE COMMUNITY FIELD 2 Paul “The Barber” Tetreault Paul was known as “The Barber” in Woodsville for well over 60 years. His first shop was located in the Wentworth Hotel Building until a fire destroyed the building and he was forced to re-locate next door in the Mt. Gardner View Apartment Building. After many years at that location, a broken waterpipe and ensuing water damage caused him to re- locate once again to 83 Central Street. He loved his loyal customers who fol- lowed him from shop to shop where they found Paul ready to cut hair and always up-to-date and ready to discuss all the local happenings. Paul and his wife, Lorayne, raised 4 children in North Haverhill. Over the years, the family grew to include 13 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Paul served in the NH Army National Guard and was honorably discharged in September 1960.

Surficial Geology of the Eastern Half of the Saint Johnsbury 7.5 x 15 Minute Quadrangle • by George E. Springston and George M. Haselton May, 1999 Current Addresses: George E. Springston George M. Haselton 81 East Hill Road 7 Esty Road Plainfield, VT 05667 Westmoreland, NH 03467-4506 (802) 454-1220 • (603) 399-8425 Executive Summary The purpose of this study is to map and interpret the surficial geologic deposits and related landforms of a part of the St. Johnsbury/Danville area. The depth to ledge across most of the study area is generally less than 20 feet and is commonly less than 10 feet. Only in the major stream valleys is the depth to bedrock generally 20 feet or more. By far the greatest depths to bedrock are in the Passump sic River Valley, where the surficial deposits are commonly greater than 100 feet thick. The oldest surficial deposits encountered in the study area consist of two varieties of glacial till: The lowermost of these is a firm, silt-rich till known as basal till and the uppermost is a looser, sandy till known as ablation till. These materials were deposited by the North American Ice Sheet during the last of several glacial episodes which occurred during the Pleistocene Epoch. Deposits of sand and gravel in the study area are of two broad types: Ice-contact deposits which formed from sediments deposited in contact with glacial ice, and glacial outwash which formed from sediments deposited beyond the margin of the glacial ice.

  • Appendix A- Basin 14 Existing Uses
    Appendix A- Basin 14 Existing Uses Introduction It is VDEC’s long-standing stipulation that all lakes and ponds in the basin have existing uses of swimming, boating and fishing. Likewise, we recognize that fishing activities in streams and rivers are widespread throughout the state and can be too numerous to document. The Vermont Water Quality Standards stipulate that existing uses may be documented in any surface water location where that use has occurred since November 28, 1975. Therefore information presented in Appendix A should be viewed as only a partial accounting of known fishing uses based upon limited criteria and does not change protection under the Clean Water Act or Vermont Water Quality Standards for waters not listed.
