What happened here

An account from the chapter on Freedom township, in the words of 1897.

1897, Freedom Township

The Pioneer An Athlete

UNCLE GUY NEARING took a subcontract from Contractor Beebe, on the Miami and Erie Canal. Contractor Beebe drew the money and appropriated it to his own use. He failed to pay Nearing, who was thereby ruined, having mortgaged his property. While his canal work was going on he became involved in a difficulty with some of the canal men, and while passing up the river with a team he was attacked by seven Irishmen with clubs.
