Jean Davies’ book “Neighborly Notes,”

It’s a collection of articles on Vermont people, places and the way things were done in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.  Many names are familiar to Pittsford people, yet they could have been part of almost any small Vermont town with a change of label.  Appropriate photographs go with each story, including Dr. Leslie Frost in his World War 1 uniform, Eleanor Smith’s electric butter churn, and numerous prints from Mary Randall Allen’s glass negatives. A percentage of the profits from the sale of the 256-page book will go to the Pittsford Historical Society.

Cost is $20.00

     To purchase a copy contact Jean at 483-6623 or e-mail:  You can pick one up at the Eaton Hall Museum when it opens in late March, or if you need the book shipped send a check for $20.00 plus $3.50 shipping to Cozi Publishing, L.L.C.  P.O. Box 211 Rutland, Vt. 05702
