SOME SHAFTSBURY, BENNINGTON CO., VERMONT DEATHS, 1883. These records
were photocopied for me on a trip to Bennington Co., Vermont, in
theTown Clerks Office of Shaftsbury, back in 1976.  These are only the
pages to which referred to my ancestors, the HARRIS and CHURCH
families.  At the time, they photocopied a whole page if you wanted a
printout of one of your ancestors, so consequently, I got a page of
40+ different Deaths.  Some of the writing is hard to read but I
copied it as it looks.
