Autograph books had a long history. They were very popular throughout the 19th century, and many examples remain here at the Sheldon Museum. They were usually filled with standard verses that recurred from one end of America to the other. Autograph collecting is a far different hobby—less personal, yet far more serious.
The general passion for collecting that gripped so many in the 19th century became a craze for procuring the autographs of famous people. Henry and his brother, Harman, caught the autograph bug as teenagers, when they began to scheme about how to get their hands on the signatures of the powerful.

They had little money, so they simply wrote off to every member of the United States House and Senate asking for their autographs. In that simpler time, a very high percentage responded, providing their John Hancocks for the boys from Vermont. Henry carefully pasted them into a neat scrapbook, which includes many of the Congressional luminaries of Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay and more. This success flamed the initial passion into an obsession. Throughout his life, Henry continued to amass the signatures of many categories of people.
The Sheldon Museum has around four dozen scrapbooks filled with the scribblings of the rich and famous. Sheldon did not confine himself to the names of the living; as soon as he could afford it, he branched out into collecting the handwriting of the famous dead. While most of the scrapbooks have simple paper covers or no covers at all, special autographs were carefully placed in sturdy books with tooled and embossed covers.

Marble quarrying was an important industry here from , but the deaths of the original producers, Eben Judd and Lebbeus Harris, caused the trade to go into a steep decline after The picturesque industrial site we know as the Marble Works was not built for another sixty years.
The first marbleworking shed was constructed in Large wooden towers transferred waterpower from a turbine in the wheelhouse below the falls to belts that drove the great marble-cutting gang saw. The Brandon Italian Marble Company soon became the largest industrial firm in Middlebury, employing men by In this era, Middlebury was not the predominantly Yankee town some historians have portrayed.
The history of the stone industry shows that broadbased immigration from Europe was transforming rural Vermont as it was the rest of America.
Great slabs of it were brought from Brandon on the railroad. In the firm moved into the lucrative marble finishing trade in Middlebury, producing funeral urns, gravestones, crosses and markers.

The workers ran the risk of needing these products for their own graves, if they were not careful. Marbleworking was a very dangerous trade, with many injuries occurring in the sheds. Some men were crushed by falling chunks of marble and others were lost when loose clothing pulled them to their deaths in the machinery. Marbleworkers also risked contracting the lung disease silicosis from breathing marble dust.
It continued production in Middlebury until the Depression put it out of business in Marbleworking may have ended in the village of Middlebury, but there was still valuable marble and high quality limestone to be found in rural areas of the town. A number of quarries had existed over the years, but the most familiar were those that gave Quarry Road its name. In , local quarryman George Palmer, was able to buy out his employer at the bankrupted Brandon Rock Products Company quarry on this site, changing its name to the Addison County Lime Company.
Palmer took over the management, got a loan to pay the workers wages they were owed and restarted the operation with six men. Marble is metamorphosed limestone, so the two tend to be found together. The men were looking for marble, but the limestone that ran through most of the site was also lucrative for agriculture, decorative gravel, paving and other products. One sideline at the Quarry Road complex was garden furniture, made in molds from a mixture of Portland cement and ground limestone. Examples of their pure white bird baths, loveseats and flower urns can still be found around the area.
The quarry complex included four houses for workers, a pump house with a large air compressor, an office, storerooms, a garage and, most importantly, a four-storey wooden building still standing containing four large storage hemlock storage bins holding limestone and marble chips of varying sizes. It was a tight-knit little community. His maternal grandfather, Don Carlin lived in another house in the complex, which included rooms for two of the hired men. It was tough work, largely done by hand.
The men used air from the compressor to drill into the rock, then blasted it out with dynamite. The real fun began when they started swinging twenty pound sledges to break up the stone. This gave them pieces small enough to shovel into a little steel skip that ran into the quarry on little two-gauged track.
When the cart was full, they dinged two bells and an electric-powered cable pulled it up to the hoist room. After being crushed, the stone was sifted into three different sizes and stored in the great hemlock bins.
