Farm Debt and Charity In a Clever Trade
A Rochester area tale recounts a benevolent farmer who clears a debtor’s farm debt with a $500 check after the man offers a deed to a two hundred acre tract, a relief act that inspires the debtor’s gratitude and a later curiosity about the property. The story intertwines with local mortgaging schemes and a curious trip to Eaton New York revealing Bald Mountain and tax auctions. A Cincinnati lunatic scholar recounts Shakespearean lore and Columbus tale, claiming time-worn memories of events centuries past, including a gift to Columbus and a debated Lib remark about Elizabeth I.
