Subject: [INOWEN] Bedford Seminary
A 1878 Oregon biography notated that Silas W. R. Jones of Owen
County,
Indiana "...He attended the Seminary at Bedford about seven months;
paying
his way by hard work all the time. After this short term at school he
commenced teaching on occassion ... for about two years..." S.W.R. Jones
(1814-1911) lived Owen County ca 1825 until 1853 when he left for Oregon. He
attended the Bedford Seminary at the age of 19 (1833). Does anyone know
where this Bedford Seminary was in the Owen County area and anything of its
history?
