| Eleazer Wheelock was
educated on the grounds of Yale University College, in 1733. Soon after
that, he became a teacher. He was really enjoyed studying theology. For
extra money, Eleazer made a school in his own household, and that school
was to get children ready for college. He tried to let Indians in school
with white people. He was also an emotional preacher and a religious
leader. He was ordained and became a missionary. Eleazer Wheelock was
famous for owning the land where Dartmouth College is now located. He
had a son, named John Wheelock (1754-1817). His son died in Hanover, NH,
just like his dad. By Megan |
