Rosalie (Rancour) Vear raised her children in a house near the top of East Village Road, in the corner of Waterford that's tucked between East St. Johnsbury and Concord. Some of the happiest days of her childhood were visiting her grandparents in Upper Waterford, before the Moore Dam completed the inundation of the former village. With her permission, and support from her daughter Kathryn (Vear) McGill, here are some pages from Mrs. Vear's autobiography that describe those days:
The book that contains her life story, FROM START TO FINISH, was printed locally and copies are hard to find. If you locate one, do take it home to enjoy every page! If anyone has a spare copy, the Waterford Historical Society would love to include one in its archives. Here are the covers, so you'll know what to watch for:
Thank you, Rosalie and Kate!
