Rev. Joshua Young, Deaf edit

Latest comment: 10 hours ago2 comments1 person in discussion

In the book, Deafness and Cheerfulness, A.W. Jackson, a fellow Unitarian Pastor, identifies Rev. Young Thusly:

"...In a Massachusetts village there toils a minister, and for more than a quarter of a century has toiled, though his deafness is so extreme that speech with him is scarcely possible, who once told me that in all these years no unpleasant reminder of his infirmity, either by act or word, had ever come to him from his people*…"

The footnote reads as follows:

"*I cannot think I need hesitate to say that my reference here is to Rev. Joshua Young, of Groton. With this testimony before them, all deaf people should pray for the prosperity of his church." Iamyoursheppard (talk) 18:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Follow up:

Deafness and Cheerfulness was published in 1901. If Young began preaching in Groton in 1875, the timeline would seem to line up perfectly. Iamyoursheppard (talk) 18:03, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
