Dave Morrison recalls a
20th-century owner raising sheep in the barn.
Dave Morrison: At some time in the
1800s, this was known as the Hale Farm. During the middle part of the 1900s it was
the Joseph Bonnett Sr. farm.
Town history, p. 87: THE HALE
FAMILY. Edward E., Joseph, and Abbie were descendants of John Hale. Edward and
Abbie lived and died on the Hale farm, which has been in the family for over a
century. Edward was known as a man of sterling character, upright and square in
all dealings with mankind. He and his sister both were known as honest,
consistent farm people, plodding along in a quiet, unostentatious manner. They
were regular attendants and good workers in the church. They never married.
Joseph married and has one daughter [Grace, 1883-1946] who is the only
survivor. She married Samuel Bonnett [1880-1956] of St. Johnsbury and lives
there. They have a son Joseph [BK note: This would be Joseph Bonnett Sr.,
1907-1989], who lives on the Abial Richardson farm." [material in square
