ELDER CHARLES CLAPP.
What He Did For His Family When He Joined the Shakers

To the editor of the Gazette:
Be so good as to make a correction of this statement in your issue of January 28: "Elder Clapp after living with his family fifteen years abandoned them, and taking his property with him joined the Shakers."

Please say that Elder Charles brought his family to the Shakers, and his wife not feeling inclined to join the society, and he feeling that he could henceforth live no other life, turned every cent of his property and money over to his family but eighteen cents, which he threw into a hedge before he reached Union Village.

These are the facts, and we shall feel obliged by their publication, both for the sake of our truly good and venerable elder and that of the society.

Yours truly,
O. C. Hampton
