1. The yellow card below refers to a celebration given by the Brooklyn family in 1854- a few weeks before the Home in Brooklyn was discontinued and the members and "The Paper" was brought to Oneida. The community had had a family there since 1849- at 41-43 Willow Place- two private houses which they bought and connected. In the rear was a small yard which was divided into plots of about 2 ft, square. Two persons were allotted to each plot as gardeners, and Susane Hamilton raised the pumpkin referred to in the card. The vine grew up on a trellis, and the pumpkin was so large and heavy it had to be supported by a cloth around it--a small brick press room was also built in the corner of the yard, for use in printing the paper. H. E. J. 2. The old Campbell House at Putney Vt. where Helen and Emma Campbell were born- occupied by the Cragin family from 1844 to 1847. John Cragin was born in this house. The lane at the right leads up into the Putney woods and pastures. The one story house at left was formerly a wing to the main building. G. E. C.
