VETROMILE, Eugene, Italian missionary, born in Gallipoli, Italy, 22 February, 1819; died there, 21 August, 1880. He came to the United States in 1840 and entered Georgetown college, Georgetown, D. C., where he finished his studies and obtained his first knowledge of the Abnaki language. He was then ordained a priest, and assigned to missionary duty at Port Tobacco, Maryland He was afterward professor in a college at Washington, and in 1858 was given charge of the mission of Old Town, Maine His labors among the Penobscot Indians for more than a quarter of a century affected his health, and he returned to Italy shortly before his death. He published " Travels in Europe, Egypt, Palestine, and Syria," and "The Abnaki and their History." His knowledge of the Indian dialects made him widely known. Reverend Edward Ballard, of Brunswick, Maine, says, in the "Collections of the Maine Historical Society," that Vetromile was the only person who could "read a verse of John Eliot's Indian Bible with a true understanding of the words of that translation." His chief Indian works are "Aln'amby Uli Awikhigan," a volume that comprises devotions and instructions in various Abnaki dialects; "Ahiamihewintuhangun," a collection of hymns set to music; "Vetromile Wewessi Ubibian," an Indian Bible; and an "Abnaki Dictionary" in three folio volumes, which occupied him twenty-one years.
