Excerpt from A Memoir of the Life of Samuel Austin Hitchcock, of Brimfield, Mass The boy Samuel was a dutiful son, a hard-working, indus trions lad, and early in life supported himself by his own efforts.

It was a deprivation that he keenly felt, as he saw one and another of his youthful com panions enrolling themselves among the students of Monson Academy, and it had much to do with the special sympathy which he afterwards cherished for young men debarred by poverty, as he had been, from the enjoyment of advantages which others could afford. He attended school only during the winter terms working on a farm, riding post, or being engaged as store-boy, during the summer seasons.
