[History of the American Clock Business for the Past Sixty Years, by Chauncey Jerome]@TWC D-Link bookHistory of the American Clock Business for the Past Sixty Years, CHAPTER XI 5/14
Here I lived two years, but very unfortunately happened to get in with the worst men that could be found on the line of Rail-road between Winsted and Bridgeport.
In another part of this book I have spoken of them; I do not now wish to think of them, for it makes me sick to see their names on paper.
I had worked hard ever since I left New Haven--one year at Waterbury, and two at this place (Ansonia,)--but got not one dollar for the whole time.
I was robbed of all the money which Mr.Stevens, (my son-in-law,) had paid me for the use of my trade- mark in England, for the years 1857-'58.
This advantage was taken of me, because I could collect nothing in my own name. I should consider my history incomplete, unless I went back for many years to speak of the treatment which I received from a certain man.
