The
National Museum of the Morgan Horse thanks Mr. Charles Edward Dewey III,
of Bennington, Vt, who graciously donated the colorful Walloomsac stud poster
to the Museum recently. His grandfather, Charles Edward Dewey, was a prominent
member of the Bennington community, known for his fine farm, and selfless
service to the town as Selectman and school trustee. Mr. Dewey's grandfather
bred many fine Morgan trotters and carriage horses, including Walloomsac.
From "Wallace's Monthly", Vol. VI, September, page 616:
"Walloomsac, b. h. foaled 1871; got by a son of Noble's Vermont Hambletonian (that was out of the Stone Mare and was of a pair sold to Joseph Harker of New York); dam, the Stone Mare, (purchased in Kentucky by Eaton Stone, the famous bare-back rider, and used by him in his circus for high jumping) by imp. Trustee; g. d. not traced. Bred by C. E. & E. Dewey, as was also his sire, Bennington, Vt, and still their property."
