Sent by Richmond Union

April 12 1900

with Eugene Steacy, farmer, P.O Ascot Corner, Sherbrooke, Quebec

Age 15, good home with pleasant surroundings, employed at farm work, good health, attends Church of England, does not attend school but would like to, character-honest and truthful but rather slow. Terms-Board, Lodging and Clothing. This boy gives his employer good satisfaction, and appeared to be quite contented, and certainly has a comfortable home.

placed with Eugene Steacy, Ascott Corner, Sherbrooke, Quebec

May 15 1902

Age 16, Mr Steacy gives a very good account of this boy, they find him very useful and appear to take an interest in him. He has good opportunities here to learn general farm work. Since his brother has gone to the United States he is somewhat unsettled and anxious to follow him. He is a strong healthy boy, and will remain here until the autumn. He receives $36 per year and board.
