Old Coins Found.
In the fall, a number of old coins were found by boys playing in the ruins of
the Homestead, the Clarkson family home which had burned in 1909. These copper and silver
coins dated back as far as the 1750s and included French pieces of the Napoleonic Empire and
the republic. They were thought to have been part of a collection by a member of the Clarkson
family.

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
