Looks like almost 200 farmers / business had Carlisle Indian School students in their employ / or were perhaps boarding them, in the Trenton area. There were 266 in Robbinsville and one of them was the greatest athlete in the world - Jim Thorpe (Sac and Fox). In fact, he lived with the same farmer twice for a total of over 18 months between between 1905 and 1907.

Just stumbled onto your blog while doing some family research. We have 8 Carlisle students in our family - and they married 3 more. It’s 4 years later, but thought you might find this interesting :)
