Yea that would be interesting about the loan, wonder who the minister was in VT, and if they were part of the banking industry of the time. More than likely it was a personal loan, that was how most were done in that time.
Thanks for asking the question. A little digging (not much), and we have our answer. The minister is Moses C. Henderson. He married Susan Wood, of Hartland. Last name sound familiar? Well, Susan's younger sister by two years was none other than L. Lucinda Wood--Albert Eastman's wife. So, Moses gave his new brother-in-law Albert a hand with purchasing the place. So, yep...personal loan for sure!
