Trials of a preacher in Delaware County posting a humble salary
A Methodist Episcopal clergyman recalls a Delaware County backwoods post with a 400 yearly salary and parishioners giving provisions to avoid starvation. The elder’s joked pride over a single shared white shirt leads to a humorous oyster dinner now etched in memory, reflecting frugal life and strong faith. An offhand war story from Mrs Custer’s interview adds another family vignette about a child’s love of military tales and a father’s restraint.
