ions, Thomas Buck and Joseph Erminer
were in a piece of woods about half
mile from the barn. An investigation was
quickly made, and the bodies Of the
truants were found in the woods.

lack OF food, they sat down to Sest and
slept into death. Their ages ranged from
thirteen 10 fifteen years. The Christian
