WELLMAN
1) Frank L. Wellman was born in Dummerston on Dec. 9, 1872, the son of Frank and Mary Ann (Morse) Wellman. His marriage to Lulu Adams of Guilford took place Dec. 25, 1893 and they lived in Guilford. At the age of 21 he became a deputy sheriff and served in that capacity until Jan. 1, 1918 when he was appointed sheriff by Gov. H. F. Graham. Some of his deputy sheriffs were Earl Collins, Fred Cressy, Mrs. Arthur Piper, Leslie Wellman and Bert Whittemore.
He was a conscientious public servant and fulfilled faithfully his many duties over a long period of public service. His health failed during the last of his term as sheriff and was impaired further by his insistence in carrying on his work. Mr. Wellman formerly bought hundreds of tons of cider apples from growers throughout the section and shipped many carloads to market from the Brattleboro railroad yard. When he set out to trace a person he usually succeeded, although months might elapse before service was completed. The theories on which he set about unraveling cases nearly always were correct.
Mr. Wellman had two sons, Leslie F. and Clarence. He died April 7, 1933 and was buried in the family lot in West Dummerston cemetery.
