  • Mt. Pleasant Cemetery Quest: Who Were Some Early Pioneers and Innovators in St
    Mt. Pleasant Cemetery Quest: Who were some early pioneers and innovators in St. Johnsbury? Created in collaboration with St. Johnsbury School Summer Program students, July, 2016 Opened in 1853, Welcome to Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Earlier graves were moved to this spot When land to build the new Courthouse was sought. At the Chapel, we begin our quest; Take the uppermost road to the west. Walk just past the Celtic Cross; Continue north, and you won’t get lost. LooK to the left toward the iron fence To find this man of prominence. Lambert PacKard is his name; Architecture was his claim to fame. (1) Lambert Packard (1832-1906) was an architect. In 1866 he was employed as a foreman with E. & T. Fairbanks Co., and soon became the company architect. Packard designed most of St. Johnsbury’s major buildings, including the Fairbanks Museum and North Church. From PacKard left, you should turn; Then toward the fence you will worm. Outspread wings top this tall stone; Here rests our Founder, as he is known. (2) Jonathan Arnold (1741-1793) founded the town of St. Johnsbury, clearing seven acres of forest on St. Johnsbury Plain with five others in 1787. He built the first framed house at the head of the Plain, and set up a sawmill at Arnold Falls, just a short distance from his homesite. He was a physician and statesman. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and served in the Revolutionary War as a surgeon. Go bacK to the road and continue to snoop; Turn north and saunter ‘round the loop.

Lancaster Dispatcher Page 2 December 2017 Holiday Travel THE MUTUAL MAGAZINE - FEBRUARY, 1941 With holiday travel at the highest peak in many years, officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad estimated that during the period from December 13 to December 24, inclusive, the movement over all divisions of the system totalled approximately 2,500,000 passengers, an increase of nearly 20% above 1939. Of this number 2,000,000 rode in coaches and 500,000 in Pullman sleeping and parlor cars. The period covered embraced practically all of the Christmas trek “back home” for family reunions and the heavy travel to Florida, as well as soldiers visiting their people on furloughs from the various encampments throughout the country. In handling this Christmas traffic, 1,314 extra sections and special trains were operated, in addition to many extra cars on regularly scheduled trains. The heaviest day was December 20, when 202 extra sections were required. There were 1,621 extra runs of Pullman cars, including 1,230 sleeping and 391 parlor car movements. To accommodate the tremendous demand for reservations to Florida, 12 extra coach trains, handling more than 4,000 passengers, were operated on PRR WARTIME HOLIDAY POSTER - 1942 four days from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, via the Washington COLLECTION OF THE EDITOR gateway, to leading Florida points. These were in addition to the regular daily luxury coach trains - the Silver Meteor, the Champion and the Vacationer - as well as extremely heavy Pullman travel.

Every day, the Commonwealth gets more than half of its home heating and electric generation from natural gas. About 200,000 homeowners have chosen natural gas as their cost-effective fuel source in the last decade. And the natural gas industry has sharply reduced its emissions over the last 20 years, while driving deep reductions in emissions from electric generation. In short, gas is good for Massachusetts. That’s a message that needs to be reiterated and reinforced, especially as our state continues its robust discussion about the role expanded supplies of gas will and must play as part of an “all of the above” energy solution that includes wind, solar, and other renewables, distributed generation, energy storage, and a leading commitment to energy efficiency. In this “State of the Industry Report,” the Northeast Gas Association and our supporters are collecting and presenting in one place a broad range of information about the benefits gas is delivering to Massachusetts day in and day out.
