The Vermont Watchman, 17 June 1885, Joseph Gilchrist for criminal assault. She The Vermont Watchman (13 April 1887) - The buildings on what is known as the Frank Johnson farm, on West Hill, owned by A.E. Judevine, were burned on the night of April 7th. The buildings were unoccupied by any family at the time, buyt Frank Thompson and Mrs. Gilchrist were moving in and purposed occupying the premises the 8th. We understand most of their household goods were burned. Probably insured.

The Vermont Watchman (13 April 1887) - A slight correction of an item of last week seems needed. Our statement that the buildings burned on West Hill were not occupied proves to be untrue. They were occupied by Mrs. Gilchrist, and had been for some time. The moving referred to was probably the driving there of some stock by Mr. Thompson.
