All the Proctor Ladies

...pick your pens up!

At the Vermont State Archives in Montpelier, we found our ancestor Dorcas Dimmick Proctor's signature on a petition from the "Ladies of Vermont" to the state of Vermont to end the sale of "ardent spirits". 

SHE TOUCHED THIS.

When I tell you the air was thick in that little room, and there were goosebumps galore... 

Mom and I are having a WONDERFUL time.
