"By 1860, about one-third of Fayston's "heads of household" were people born in Ireland. Farms were relatively
cheap and those hardworking people, born in privation, were happy to subsist for the privilege of freedom and
opportunity. Eventually, many of them were forced to abandon their farms or were lured away by brighter
prospects." - Fayston History, 1999. Full quote in references.

John was a farmer of about 50 acres, with a Waitsfield postal address. (I assume this refers to this John, rather
than to his son.)

3 INDICTED UNDER TOUGH DRUG LAW
Author:
Elizabeth Neuffer, Globe Staff
A federal grand jury yesterday indicted three men on charges of selling hundreds of grams of heroin
within 100 feet of a public playground in Lowell in the first indictment brought in Massachusetts under
a federal law establishing "drug-free zones."
Joseph Cruz, 23, and Anthony J. Garcia, 21, both of Lorain, Ohio, and Dennis Cruz, 25, of Lowell,
19
were charged yesterday with operating the heroin distribution scheme from a private home on Chase
Street in Lowell that abutted a playground.
The indictment comes at a time when Lowell and the Merrimack Valley have been experiencing a sharp
increase in the use and distribution of heroin. Yesterday's indictment marks the first use in
Massachusetts of a 1984 federal law establishing a drug-free zone, although cases have been previously
brought under as a similar state law.
Under the federal law, sentences of offenders can be doubled if they are convicted of selling drugs
within 1,000 feet of a school or 100 feet of a playground.
If convicted, the men face 10 to 20 years in jail on each count, double the typical sentence, according to
US Attorney Wayne A. Budd.
In Lowell, Mayor Richard P. Howe hailed the indictment as an "extraordinary move" and one needed to
control drug abuse in the city.
The investigation into the heroin scheme by agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration relied on
informants who had bought 1,318 bags of heroin for $20,000 since April from the Cruz brothers and
Garcia, according to an affidavit.
The affidavit, written by DEA Special Agent Robert A. Kew, describes a multitude of heroin
transactions that took place at 29-31 Chase St., a two- story, white vinyl-sided house that backs up on
the playground. The heroin, typically sold in packs containing 100 bags was often purchased by
confidential informants in multiple packs.
