The following story was shared with me by Calvin Hoy:
"When I was young, I was told by my Great Aunt Ina that her "Auntie Franny" was a deaf-mute. I was too young to care that much about that statement and it never made sense to me, as she didn't have a sister by the name of "Franny".
"Looking at the the photo's from 2 old Hoy Family Photograph Albums Obtained during a Hoy Family Reunion in August 2007, I made a possible resolution to her statement. The first Photograph shows "Francie Albright (sister to Harry Henry Hoy's Wife, Elizabeth (Albright) Hoy. On the back of her photograph, it states that it was taken at a Philadelphia Photo-Studio.

The following is an excerpt from the book, "Laurent Clerc: Apostle to the Deaf People of the New World", written by Loida R. Canlas; Gallaudent University, Wash.D.C.;
"Laurent Clerc was invited to be the acting principal of the Pennsylvania Institution in Philadelphia from August 1821 to March 1822. Clerc's students and trained teachers founded other schools around the nation or taught in them, using Clerc's teaching methods. The first school modeled after the Hartford institution was established in New York; the second, in Philadelphia. Other schools were to follow in many states around the Union such as in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia, and Quebec in Canada. In all, more than thirty residential schools were established all over the nation during Clerc's lifetime. Clerc went on to complete 50 years of teaching (41 of those in the States), retiring in 1858".
