her support.  She is with friends.
   Apr. 26, 1876: Farmington to Hebron.  Mrs. Emily A. Bills is on expense.  
Her first husband was Henry B. Denison, who owned 6 acres of land in Hebron 
about 20 years ago; he died there and then she married Julius Bills of your 
town.  She has been in this town about 2 years, working most of the time until 
her health failed her.
   Apr. 26, 1876: Norwich to Hebron.  You were notified Feb. 20, 1873 that 
Lionel Coates, his wife Alice and his 3 children (Winfield, ae 6; Edward, ae 3; 
Alice, ae 18 months) were on expense.  We have helped them yearly since that 
time.
   May 5, 1876: Norwich to Hebron.  Coates has left his family & is at work in 
the city at $1.50 per day driving teams, but will not help his family.
   May 19, 1876: Farmington to Hebron. Mrs. Emily A. Bill on expense.
   July 31, 1876: Windham to Hebron.  Julius Brown & wife Huldy have applied 
for assistance here.  They have lived in your town 8 or 9 years before coming 
here 2 years since.  
   Aug. 9, 1876: Hebron to Windham.  Brown did live here about the number of 
years you specified, he did not gain a settlement, he having failed for three 
years or more to pay taxes.  He lived for many years in Wilimantic prior to 
coming to Hebron.
   Aug. 31, 1876: Hebron to Norwich.  Paid bill for Lionel Coates' family.
   Oct. 3, 1876: Haddam to Hebron.  Charles Miner & wife Eliza and 9 children 
(Emily, Nellie, Carvey?, Jenney?, Cassy, Lilly, George, Ellen & Charles)are on
expense.  Extremely destitute, their nakedness not half covered.  
   Oct. 10, 1876: Hebron to Haddam.  Charles J. Miner not an inhabitant.  You 
had better look to the town of Glastonbury.
   Oct. 3, 1876: Glastonbury to Hebron.  William Ahern has bome from Hebron 
sick and without money; his family is on expense.  He has had the doctor 4 
times; if he is going to play the game he did last winter I propose to put a 
stop to it.  We will take our proportion of the family to the poor house if you 
will advise what to do with yours.  I think that will have a tendency to make 
them take care of yourselves.
   Oct. 31, 1876: Glastonbury to Hebron.  Mr. Ahern is still quite ill, and 
Mrs. Ahern is to be confined soon.  Mr. & Mrs. Ahern and all the children 
except the youngest belong to the town of Hebron.
   Nov. 4, 1876: Ahern is still quite ill, and his wife has had another boy.
