This record of the Dogwood blossoming is because it
blooms with more uniformity than any other tree, showing
late or early spring, and the foregoing table has been care-
fully kept, year by year. S. C. L.
The name Rutland was given to the township through the
influence of five of its citizens who came from Rutland, Ver-
mont, and Rutland, Massachusetts. Their names were, viz.:
John Miles, Luke Brine, Abel Larkin, Brewster Higley and
Shubael Nobles. The village of Rutland was laid out in 1828,
by Barzillai H. Miles and Abijah Hubbell, Jr., and the survey
was made by Samuel Halliday, and the acknowledgment of the
deeds for the streets before Abel Larkin, Associate Judge,
August 20th, 1828. The original lots consisted of one-fourth
of an acre in Section No. 14, and fractions of Nos. 1 and 7.
Other lots have been added from Section No. 8 and No. 7.
