The Boy from Brecknock

Maude Warye Good suggested to her husband that he write down his life experiences so that their three daughters could know more about his upbringing. In 1960 he completed a manuscript that was professionally published for the first time in 2018. In the following pages he describes living in the 1880s and 1890s on a Mennonite farm in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. He also tells of his decision at age 26 to leave the community that had nurtured him enroll at Goshen College and dedicate his life to the further education of himself and others. Harry Gehman Good was wise interesting bright and ethical with a kind twinkle in his eye. All of this is preserved in The Boy from Brecknock.
