Under the date of 1840 instances of apprenticeship might interest by showing the relative value placed upon youth in that early day. Three children evidently orphans Benjamin 16, Hannah 13, and George Washington Van Gundy 11,whose guardian Joseph Myers, apprenticed them as follows: Benjamin to Michael Van Gundy until his 18th birthday and was to receive a new Bible, two suits of clothing one of which was to be of home manufactured woolen cloth and his guardian was to receive $40 but Benny had to pay his own doctor bills. His sister Hanna was to receive a new Bible, a cow not over 8 years old, two suits of clothing, one new, and a good bedstead with bedding. Her master was David Goodman. George Washington was to receive a new Bible, two suits of clothing one of which must be of as good woolen cloth, as George Harper, his master, dresses in his mill and his guardian was to receive $40. Each was bound until the age of 18 and to receive the usual amount of education.
