Glover Historical Society 2009 TownReportIt’s has been a busy year! We started off in thespring by buying an old ledger. Thanks to thegenerosity of Pat Russell at the Union House andseveral other donors—Henry Atherton, JeanBorland, Bob & Gisele Clark, Theresa Meyer,Pauline Morrilland HaroldVincent—weacquired theoriginal accountbook (1823-1850) of GloverVillage’s firsttavern and inn;today it is thehome of theUnion House.The book is agem, filled withnames ofGlover’s early settlers, listing the things theybought and the prices paid, and more.

The inventory of all the many items in our mu-seum is complete, and now we begin the next step ofchecking the inventory list against the accession book.After that, we will begin entering each item on themuseum software, making it a cinch to search on thecomputer for any subject or name. We thank all whodonated items to the museum in 2009: MarthaAlexander, the estate of Pearl Whalen Alexander,Shelia Atherton, Eleanor Bailey, Alan Blakeman,Charlie & Lois Barrows, Skip & Judy Borrell, Bob& Gisele Clark, the Harriet Fisher estate, Mike &

Bonnie Ladd, Michael Lalancette, Julie CurrierMcKay, D.J. Miles, Almy Perron, Pat Russell, John& Susie Roberts, and Victoria Singer. Our heaviestdonation had to have been the 1882 marble grave-stone of Hattie E. Leonard, a young Glover girl who

died of consump-tion. (Read thestory of how wecame to have hergravestone in thisnewsletter.) Wewere sorry tolearn that the“free summer mu-seum intern” partof the BuildingAccompl ishedMuseum grant wehad been awardedthrough the Ver-

mont Museum and Gallery Alliance did not happen—their funding was severely impacted by the downturnin the economy, but we did learn much at the twotrainings connected to the grant, and will carry onwithout the intern!

Over the year we completed several communityprojects: a booth at Glover Day and at Old StoneHouse Day, both featuring a new Runaway Pond ex-hibit; updating and printing 911 maps, donating prizemoney to the Orleans County Historical Society Stu-dent History Fair, and supplying American flags thatline the streets in Glover and West Glover village

(thanks to the fire department for getting them upand down!). In person and by email, we helped sev-eral researchers hunting their Glover family roots andhappenings. And we again organized the 2009 QuiltShow at Town Meeting. Thanks to all who donated!Besides adding color and beauty, the quilts improvethe acoustics in the Town Hall.

The GHS is committed to preserving Glover his-tory. Established in 1990, we operate with a 12-mem-ber board, and currently have 155 members. Duesare $10 a year, which brings you two newsletters ayear. We invite all to join! You are also welcome atany board meeting, held on the second Wednesdayof each month, April through September, at 7 PM inthe library at the Municipal Building. We are thank-ful to all who made donations to GHS and especiallywant to mention memorial gifts that were made inhonor of Eleanor Alexander Jacobson.

At the annual GHS meeting in August, the fol-lowing officers were elected: President Bob Clark,Vice-President Betsy Day, Treasurer Mike Ladd andSecretary Joan Alexander. Other board members are:Darlene Andrews, Eleanor Bailey, Judy Borrell, JeanBorland, Gisele Clark, Harriet King, Randy Williams,and John Urie.

If you visit our website gloverhistoricalsociety.org,you’ll notice it still says “under construction”, as ithas been for several years. If you have expertise inwebsite construction and could lend a hand, pleaselet us know!

We know what we’ll be concentrating on for thenext months: Runaway Pond! We are looking for-ward to a Runaway Pond Bicentennial, and, sincelast fall, have been busy planning fun and spirited fes-tivities for June 4-6, 2010, with members of theSheffield Historical Society and the Orleans CountyHistorical Society. We have spruced up the Park siteby weeding and planting bulbs (our thanks to KateButler!) and will be adding more blooms just beforethe celebration. We have worked hard to prepare anew edition of Runaway Pond: The Complete Story,adding lots of new articles and an index. Our thanksto Jeannine Young and several board members forvolunteering many hours on that project! This yearwe also are soliciting money to help fund the 3 dayRunaway Pond Bicentennial celebration in June. Ifyou would like to donate, please send donations ear-marked for the celebration to our treasurer, MikeLadd, at Glover Historical Society, P.O. Box 208,Glover, VT, 05839.

Respectfully submitted,Joan Alexander, Secretary

Hot off the press: Runaway Pond: The

Complete Story, third editionBy the time you are reading this, we hope to have

the shipment of the third edition of Wayne Alexander’sRunaway Pond: The Complete Story in hand! Thispast summer, Jeannine Young and Joan Alexanderworked on adding over 25 more pages of material,all discovered or created since the last edition wasprinted, including an index. Randy Williams was hardat work getting the revised edition ready to down-load to our internet publisher when we decided to“stop the presses!” so we could include ten more pagesof Jack Sumberg’s very interesting look andponderings about all the Runaway Pond research he

has been digging into lately. We expect to have thenew books here sometime in early March. We aresold out of the earlier editions, and to everyone whohas a book on order, or has been inquiring about them,we appreciate your patience.

The new edition will sell for $25 postpaid, or$20 if you pick a copy up in town at the Town Clerk’soffice, or by calling Joan Alexander at 525-6212.

We also have ordered more of Dan Cumming’schildren’s book Run, Chamberlain, Run, so we willhave plenty of both of our Runaway Pond titles readyfor the Bicentennial.

Runaway Pond Bicentennial plans:things are hopping!

The Runaway Pond Bicentennial PlanningCommittee has been meeting monthly since last July,and plans are shaping up! We have put together athree day celebration, and included the tentative

schedule in this newsletter for you—save the dates!We have lots of different activities planned, withsomething for everyone. Randy Williams has beenupdating our website (gloverhistoricalsociety.org) sothat you can check there for any revisions to theschedule, with more information to be posted aboutevents as the weekend draws closer. We think theevents will mark the occasion in fine style! We arethankful for the many community organizations andmembers who are participating and lending energy,ideas and support.

We have had two weeding/planting workbees atthe Runaway Pond Park, along with Kate Butler andher crew, and have more “perking up” plans forspring. We are pulling together lesson plan ideas toshare with Glover Community School staff as theygear up for a 2-week puppeteer artists-in-residencelearning experience in April that will be centered onRunaway Pond. We are excited to have some ofSpencer Chamberlain’s descendants coming from asfrom as far away as Utah and California for the

celebration. We have just begun to reach out to thecommunity asking for financial support for thiscelebration, with great advertising and publicityoffered in exchange. If you would like to help sponsor

any of the events, please contact Randy or Betsy DayWilliams at 525-4051.

Jack Sumberg has started a fascinating blog aboutRunaway Pond and he invites anyone to share “infor-mation, drawings, stories, songs, lies, poems…”Check it out: http://runawyponders.blogspot.com

We have quite a collection of Runaway Pond ar-ticles and information in our museum, but we knowwe have not seen all there is to see yet! Just in thepast year, folks have shared three old postcards withus that we did not have in our collection. One wassent to us by Mike Lalancette of Essex Jct, who has acamp on Shadow Lake; Charlie Barrows had the oldstereopticon, and just last month Delores Chamber-lain of Barton brought another previously unknownpostcard to our planning meeting. As archival news-paper websites upload more scans, we find more ar-ticles that were written about Runaway Pond in news-papers across the nation over the past 200 years. Per-haps someday more firsthand accounts will surface!

We hope to see you at the festivities!!

Gravestone discovered: Hattie E.Leonard Born June 30, 1866 Died August 31, 1882

Hattie Leonard’s thick marble gravestone, witha decorative triangle top, was found outside theLeonard House in Glover when it was being reno-vated this fall. The Leonard home was recently boughtby Pat Russell, administrator and owner of the UnionHouse in Glover, and lies just a few steps to the southof the Union House, right on the village green. The

house was quite run down when Ms. Russell boughtit, and Hattie’s stone was discovered face down inthe grass near the front porch.

Ms. Russell learned that the gravestone was founda few years ago near the Barton River that runs be-hind the house, and moved over to the house to makea good step for the side of the porch. Ms. Russellbelieves that it may have originally been part of asmall family graveyard that she remembers seeing

north. When Ms. Russell checked with the TownClerk she learned that others who have lived at theLeonard House through the years have asked herabout Hattie Leonard’s stone. Though no one is surewhere this gravestone may have first been erected, itis known that Hattie’s name is on another tombstoneat Westlook Cemetery in Glover that is still standingtoday. It is a big, gray granite Leonard family stone,with her parents’ names, Chapin Leonard and HarrietBean Leonard, on one side and Hattie’s and the nameof one of her brothers, E. Almon Leonard, on theother side. Is she really buried under this large familystone at Westlook, or in a family plot somewhere else?We are not sure. Burial permit records were not keptin Glover until 1902.

The Leonards were very early settlers in Glover.In Glover’s very early years as a town, three Leonardsisters came to Glover from Keene, NH. SarahLeonard, age 45, came to Glover in 1800 with herhusband, John. They had eight children. That sameyear, Lucy Leonard Partridge, age 23, came to joinher husband, Levi, who had come a year earlier. In1803, a third sister, Abigail Leonard, 22 years old,moved to Glover and married Joseph Gray, who hadcome to Glover in 1799. Sixteen years later, in 1819,the sisters’ parents, Noah Leonard, a shoemaker, and

These two pictures of Hattie’s stone (above,showing top back, and bottom, showing topfront) were taken before it was cleaned up;you will notice years of dirt embedded in thecarving. But in spite of all the dirt, thisintricate harp and flowers design is beautiful.

his wife, Bertha (also written as Bethia) WetherellLeonard, followed their daughters and moved to

Chapin Leonard married Harriet Sartwell Beanon September 3, 1861. Harriet came from a very earlyGlover family herself: Samuel Bean family came toGlover in 1799, and he and his wife, Charlotte PhelpsBean, had 10 children. One of the ten, Amos PhelpsBean, was born in Glover in 1806. Amos marriedPhila E. Sartwell in 1834. They had nine children.Tucked right in the middle was a daughter, HarrietSartwell Bean, born July 3, 1842, who grew up tobe Hattie’s mom. Chapin and Harriet were neigh-bors; Harriet lived just up the road, at the farm at thetop of the first hill, on what today is named BeanHill; perhaps then it was called Bean Hill also.

By the time the Beer’s Atlas map of Glover wasmade (1878), C. Leonard was head of the house-hold at the homestead.

BEERS- 1878

From the Child’s Gazetteer (1882):

Chapin and Harriet’s first child, Hattie, was bornsix years after their marriage, on June 30, 1866. Twoboys followed, Willard in 1870 and E. Almon in 1873.

We know so little about Hattie. We don’t evenknow what her middle initial E stands for. We knowher brothers both attended the grammar school inGlover, and then the Orleans Liberal Institute, also

Glover with Willard, age 20, the youngest son in theirfamily of at least ten children. “Grandsur” Leonard,then 69, bought land and built a frame house on landwhere the Leonard Homestead (Glover’s MunicipalBuilding) is today, and opened up a shoemaking shop.Two more sons migrated from Keene to Glover:Calvin, a shoemaker, and his wife, Octavia DwinellLeonard, with their six children, and finally George,a painter, with his wife, Mary Russell Leonard ofKeene. The neighbors all helped build George andMary’s house, organizing a Fourth of July Bee and“from trees that were standing in the morning hadhewn timbers and built a house ready to cover by thesame evening.” (Where this home was is not knownat this time. George and Mary were the parents ofC.S. Leonard, who was the original owner of whattoday is the Union House’s Leonard House.)Grandsur Leonard lived until the age of 98, dying in1848, with 28 of his grandchildren living in Glover.

Hattie Leonard was part of the third generationof Leonards living in Glover. Her mother’s Beanroots in Glover went back just as far as the Leonards.The Bean family also had arrived by 1800, and alsohad large families. Hattie would have had oodles ofaunts, uncles, cousins, great aunts and uncles, sec-ond cousins, third cousins and cousins once removedall living right in Glover.

Willard W. Leonard, that boy of 20 who had hadcome with his parents, Noah and Bethia, marriedAmy Lary of Wolfboro, NH; together they had fourchildren: Freelove, Mary, Frederick, and NoahChapin. The youngest, who became known just asChapin, would become Hattie’s dad. Chapin was bornApril 14, 1837.

in Glover, so it is a good guess that she did, too. TheGlover Historical Society does have photos of herparents, and her brother Willard as a young man,and it seems quite likely that a photo of Hattie existssomewhere.

We do have her hand-penned message to a class-mate, recorded in a tiny (4"x2 ¾”) autograph bookon October 5th, 1881, almost a year before she died:“Truly your friend Hattie Leonard, Glover, Vt.”

The handwriting is quite faded, but it is a per-fect, flowing script. The “Keepsake” autograph bookbelonged to Mary Norton of Glover, and is signedby schoolmates from Glover and surrounding towns,suggesting they were students at the Orleans Lib-eral Institute, which was right on Glover’s MainStreet in the same spot where the Town Hall is to-day. Students came from towns all around northernVermont and boarded in town in order to attend theInstitute, but Hattie would only have needed to walkaround the corner to get to school.

Ms. Russell has researched the census records,and found that the occupation of Hattie’s dad, ChapinLeonard, was listed as a store clerk in 1880. Gene-alogy records at the GHS museum record that Chapinwas a farmer and postmaster as well.

August 28, 1882, The Orleans County Moni-tor, under Glover news column:

Chapin Leonard, wife and daughter have goneto Saratoga Springs.

September 11, 1882, The Orleans CountyMonitor, under Glover news column:

Hattie Leonard, daughter of Chapin Leonard,who has been ill since last winter with consumption,and who went to Saratoga recently with her parents,ran down rapidly after reaching there and died onWednesday night; the remains reached home on Fri-day night.

Hattie, only daughter of Chapin and HarrietLeonard, died at Saratoga Springs, Thursdayevening, August 31. She had been an invalid duringthe entire summer, and her condition had been asource of great anxiety to her parents and friends. Ashort time before her death she expressed a desire tovisit Saratoga, and her wish was gratified, she seemedto rally for a few days, and enjoyed the exciting scen-eries of her new home. All was done for her thatfond friends could do. She recognized her father onhis arrival, about two hours before she died and ten-derly embraced him; her only regret was that shecould not see her little brothers. Her remains arebrought here for burial. A large concourse of sym-pathizing friends and neighbors attended her funeralthe Sabbath following her death. The afflicted fam-ily have the heartfelt sympathy of a sorrowing com-munity.

A Card- We tender our most heartfelt thanks toour friends and neighbors for their many acts of kind-ness and sympathy, during the long illness and deathof our beloved and only daughter, and that you manyever find as true and sympathetic friends is the ear-nest prayer of Chapin Leonard & Harriet Leonard

September 11, 1882, The Orleans CountyMonitor, Death Notices:

At Saratoga Springs, NY, August 31, of consump-tion, Hattie E. Leonard, only daughter of Chapinand Harriet Leonard, aged 16 years.

Though the light and love of our home has gonefrom us forever, we feel that the twilight of its radi-ance is still shining here, and an angel is waitingand watching, just inside the pearly gate ready toopen its portals for us, whenever our Heavenly Fa-ther may call us to our home.

Glover History Winter 2010 7

Why did Hattie pick Saratoga Springs as her des-tination? Maybe she had relatives there? Hattie’s fa-ther was only 45 and her mother 40 when Hattie died.Willard was nearly 12 years old and Almon nine. InYour Guide to Cemetery Research (Carmack, 2002),consumption is described as “a wasting away of thebody, formerly applied especially to pulmonary tu-berculosis. The disorder is now known to be an in-fectious disease caused by …bacteria…” Ms. Russellhas found out that there was a TB Sanitarium inSaratoga; perhaps that is why Hattie went, but thenfelt so well at first that she did some sightseeing?

The year after Hattie’s death, Chapin becameGlover’s town clerk, a position he kept for 32 years,from 1883–1915. He resigned in August 1915, pre-sumably just days before his death on August 8. TheTown Clerk’s office was in his home on the oldLeonard Homestead, where it still is today, althoughnow it is in the new home that Chapin built in 1890.

The old homestead burned in the late 1800s (un-fortunately, the GHS does not have a photo of theoriginal Leonard homestead), and Chapin built thepresent Leonard Homestead (now Glover’s Munici-pal Building) in 1890, using wood cut from the farmfor the house as well as all the woodwork. Chapin’sobituary states that he lived all his life on the Leonardhome farm, and so it would be safe to assume Hattielived all her life there also, though not in the housethat stands there now, as that was built in 1890, afterher death. However, Ms. Russell’s census researchfound Chapin and his family in Orleans in 1880, andthe GHS books of Glover Census records agree:Chapin is not listed in the 1880 Glover census. Per-haps it was during the census gathering that the

Leonard homestead had burned and the family hadrelocated for a short time.

Hattie’s parents, Chapin and Harriet, lived to seeanother of their children die before them when Hattie’sbrother Evans Almon, passed away in 1913. Chapindied in 1915, and Harriet in 1918. Chapin’s deathwas marked with a short obituary in the Glover newscolumn in The Orleans County Monitor, August 11,1915, which called him was “a man of strict integ-rity, charitable, genial and kind.” His burial permitstates the cause of death as “acute nephritis” (inflam-mation of the kidneys); he was 78 years old. Onesentence noted Harriet’s passing in The Monitor, May8, 1918; “Mrs. Chapin Leonard died at her home herFriday and was buried in the Riverside cemetery.”Glover’s Burial Permit records show that both Harrietand Chapin were buried at what is now calledWestlook Cemetery (“Glover Village Cemetery” forChapin, and “Glover Cemetery” for Harriet), so whythe newspaper referenced “Riverside Cemetery” isunknown. Perhaps Riverside was how Westlook wasreferred to in those days. The burial permit also listsHarriet’s cause of death as cerebral hemorrhage. Shewas 75 years old.

Hattie’s youngestbrother, Willard ChapinLeonard, did not die anearly death. Will wasborn March 29, 1870.In an interview abouthis later life, he said hewould have stayed onto help his father runthe farm, but deter-mined that there wasnot enough for twobrothers to do, so de-cided to go into phar-macy, and moved with

his wife to NH. After several successful business ven-tures, he founded the Leonard Watch Company inChicago, which was very successful. He always re-turned to Glover in summers, building a state-of-the-art dairy barn at the Leonard Homestead in 1920 af-ter a barn fire. In 1923 Will retired to Glover, andserved as selectman, state rep and senator. In the1940s, he wrote a 25-page manuscript about the His-tory of Glover, which was used extensively in the

A call for quilts!!Just before the 2008 town meeting, moderator

Nick Eceratz wondered if hanging blankets or mate-rial around the town hallwould improve the acous-tics. Betsy and Randy Will-iams thought it was wortha try, but their idea was tohave a quilt show. Theywould gather quilts fromGlover folks and hang themon the walls and on rodssuspended from the ceiling.It worked! The quilts notonly improved acoustics,but they added charmingbeauty and interest to thehall. Last year, the GHS began documenting eachdisplayed quilt by photographing it with its owner,and taking down some history about the quilt. Thereis space enough to display about 16 quilts each year,and we know there are enough quilts in town to dis-play at countless town meetings to come.

Now, with Runaway Pond’s 200th anniversary

approaching, Lois Barrows had an idea to expandthe show into a Runaway Pond Quilt Show. Lois’s

idea is to gather as manyGlover quilts as we can todisplay at the Town Hallduring the whole weekend ofthe Runaway Pond Cele-bration, June 4-6, 2010,filling not only the walls andceiling, but floor space aswell.

Do you have a quilt thatwe could borrow for theweekend? We are lookingfor all sizes, all materials, allpatterns, old and new. All

contributors will receive a special Runaway Pond Bi-centennial participant ribbon, and there will be a“People’s Choice” award. We would like to featurequilts made by Gloverites, or quilts with a history forGloverites.

Please contact Lois Barrows at 525-3405 if youhave a quilt to contribute to the show!

1983 Glover history book. In an interview done in1939, his brother Almon is mentioned, but Hattie isnot, and Will’s obituary in 1943 (he had Parkinson’sdisease in his last years) mentions neither of his sib-lings. And yet, he and his wife, Kate Owen, namedtheir only child Harriet, and called her Hattie. Hattie(Harriet Leonard Bickford) carried on her grandfa-ther Chapin’s legacy as Town Clerk from 1945–1948.

Finding Hattie’s stone was a surprise for Ms.Russell, and she wanted to either see it erected in itsrightful place, or buried in an appropriate spot. Butafter learning that there was already a new stone forHattie, the GHS asked Ms. Russell if they could takethe stone and use it in the museum to tell Hattie’sstory, use as an example of stone carving, and tell thestory of what happens to stones that are replacedwith newer stones.

Often one hears stories of people who find grave-stones that have been repurposed or recycled, reusedin practical ways, such as hearth stones, as flooringin the cellar, or, as in Hattie’s case, as a step. Thereare several other stories of Glover residents finding

old cemetery stones in places they didn’t expect tofind them. Often stones that were replaced withnewer, often fancier stones, were discarded in a pilein some back corner of a cemetery, and later some-times buried. But they are works of art, with a storyto tell, part of our culture and history, and the GHSis glad to have Hattie’s stone.

Discovering Hattie’s stone created a lot of curi-osity about who this young girl was. We have foundout a few things about her life, but we hope othersmay add to what we know.

And what about the relationship between HattieLeonard and C.S. Leonard? C.S. Leonard and Hattie’sdad, Chapin Leonard, were first cousins, so Hattieand C.S. were first cousins, once removed. Whywould Hattie’s stone end up at the home of C.S.Leonard? It’s likely the big granite family stone waserected after Chapin and Harriet’s death, which wouldhave been after C.S. Leonard had died, and his homewas owned or rented by others outside the Leonardfamily. Who knows? There are always more ques-tions to wonder about.

Last fall, the GHS received a letter from CharlesFarrell of South Hero, VT. He is a middle schoolteacher who has embarked ona ten-year project to compile a“comprehensive, illustrated,historical listing of all the pub-lic school buildings that haveserved Vermont students.” Mr.Farrell had already scrutinizedbooks and records on file atSpecial Collections at the UVMLibrary, and was asking ourhelp in supplying some missingdata about when differentschools operated, their names,and photos. So I began look-ing through all our school col-lection at the Museum, think-ing it would take about 3 days to search througheverything.

Of course, nothing is ever as easy as you imag-ine it will be! I decided that if I was be looking forcertain things like dates of operation, I might as welltake the time to record other interesting info at thesame time. I have spent probably 6 days on the projectnow, with miles to go! We have over 85 photos ofschools and school groups, and those are now all

scanned, along with a few examples of report cardsand “souvenir” booklets. I went through all the school

registers that are in the vault atthe town clerk’s office, record-ing teacher’s names, and anyother particularly interestingnotes the teachers made. I havebegun going through the annualschool district reports. I hopeto finish well before Mr.Farrell’s ten year deadline! Allour school info used to be inone bulging notebook, but wenow have a notebook set up foreach of the schools.

If anyone has mementoes ofGlover schools that would beof interest, please give me a call

at 525-6212 or email at joanalex_05839. If you havephotos, it would be easy to see if they are already inour collection. I would love to scan and return anyschool photos you might have that are not already inour collection. (If you have any of Slab City School,also called City School, please do contact me, as wehave only one photo and it is not very clear.) Now isthe time to gather all info!
