- FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE
The house of Mr Dyer Babbitt of Castleton, was burnt on the night of the 17th inst. The wife of Mr Babbitt and 7 children were in the house at the time, but the fire had made such progress before they were awaked, that only Mrs Babbitt and 3 children were able to make their escape from the house, and the remaining four children perished in the flames - two girls 6 and 12 years of age and two boys 9 and 14 years of age. How the fire originated we are not informed. Mr Babbitt had left home the day before the accident for Illinois.-The Rutland Herald
