Apostle Caple's Humble Life and Charity Trust
Robert Caple, a Scottish trader who lived in Clayville Oneida County, died at about seventy after a life trading horses. He became Roman Catholic 25 to 30 years ago and spent his fortune repaying old trades, then gave to the poor in the Sauquoit valley while living modestly in an abandoned farm house. He sought out former trading partners to reimburse them, sometimes restoring sums like 176 dollars in Watertown, and chose only worthy recipients.
