Christian Ries Schreiner collection
Collection — Folder: S1114
Identifier: S1114
Scope and Contents
This copybook is mostly in German. The only English is on the last page, written in a different penmanship and in pencil. Entitled "Coming and Going," the entry is thus: "Good-by father." "Good-by, my Son; God bless you."
And the train starts, bearing the boy away to college. The old man watches it until it is out of sight, and brushing away his tears, turns to a friend. "There goes my boy to get an education. I tell you, Sir, it's something to have a boy like that!" and the happy father turns, and getting into his wagon, which stands near by, drives home.
A year has gone by, and the same wagon is standing in the same place, and the same old man, with a radiant face, is waiting for the train.
