註釋from the introduction..."This is a snug little hamlet, situated in the pleasant valley of Sandy Creek and fortified on all sides against the chilly blasts of winter and the rude storms of summer by mountainous hills. Thus sheltered by nature, and supplied with all the art of husbandry and the marts of the city can furnish, the denizens of this village pass their lives in quiet comfort and enjoyment, free from the excitements and frivolity of city life, and blessed with health and contentment." (Watertown Daily Times, October 15, 1873) This is a book of local history. It tells the story, through pictures, of a small community tucked within the hills of Rutland. In this book are images of people, of homes and houses, of businesses and organizations, of the way things used to be. Every picture tells a story. Some of the images are old, some are more recent. Some may be familiar to readers, some are not. The book's purpose is to present a pictorial mosaic through photographs that help us gain an understanding and appreciation of what Tylerville looked like through the years. May we remember the people, places, and events that made the hamlet, as the above newspaper article suggests, a pleasant place to live.
