129The eldest son, David Finney, who learned his father's trade, built, in 1861, the house Francis C. WAID now lives in; also, at a later date, George N. WAID'S house. "At that time (the fall of 1851 and spring of 1852) there was no academy at Meadville nor Saegertown, but being acquainted with S.S. Sears, who graduated in 1852 from Allegheny College, Mr. WAID was induced by him to accompany him to Waterford, Erie County, where he (Mr. Sears) had received an appointment as teacher; and so our subject became one of his pupils during the fall term of 1852, in company with C. R. Slocum and E. T. Wheeler, boarding with Matthew Smith, a farmer. In the fall of 1853 Mr. WAID attended, one term, the academy at Meadville, taught by Samuel P. Bates and Thomas Thickstun, C. R. Slocum and he boarding, during that term, with Mr. Henderson.
