Possible Resource?

In Athenaeum archives:

Sarah Houston Nelson (Mrs. A.D. Nelson) grew up in Hardwick, VT. She was the mother of Harry M. Nelson. At some point she moved with her son from St. Johnsbury, VT to the Boston area.
Scope & Content: The scrapbook was apparently kept by Sarah Houston Nelson and contains clippings on local events in St. Johnsbury, Hardwick, and Walden, VT. Materials which were interfiled in the scrapbook were rehoused in folders and include additional clippings, a poem authored by Nelson, and a letter from the Hardwick Gazette. The majority of the clippings are undated. The bound volume serving as the scrapbook originally contained accounting records.
