Description

Young writes concerning the two Wyandot Indian boys brought to him in December -- Thomas Clarke and Jacob Young. Thomas does not wish to go to school and would prefer to learn a trade, so he has been sent to Athens to work with a good man there (a tailor). Jacob has been a more difficult case, leaving the Young home for days at a time. He has been given permission to return to Sandusky for a short while, but promises to return to Lancaster in three months to attend school. Young is doubtful that this will happen, and believes it will be best for both boys to learn trades. Young reports about the mental derangement which currently afflicts him, a fact known only by Finley and Mrs Young. Abstract Number - 651
