As is the case with most American families [sic] he could not boast an ancestry. . . When he was 14 years of age [sic] Ward was apprenticed as a compositor to the Skowhegan Clarion; next year he became a compositor on the Carpet Bag, a comic weekly published in Boston His first printed contribution appeared in the Carpet Bag. . .
