section on the history of Shelburne, Chittenden, Vermont)

Luther CHITTENDEN, a son of Bethuel, a respectable farmer, having a family of 
four children; whist engaged in stoning a well for Remington BITGOOD, by 
accident fell into the well and was so badly injured as to cause his death in 
a short time. He was insensible when taken from the well. This was on 15 
November 1816, just one week before [Remington] BITGOOD committed suicide. 
[By calculation Remington BITGOOD died 22 November 1816.] He [Luther 
CHITTENDEN] was fifty-two years of age.
