Offered to you in this lot is an Oneida Newhouse, Animal Trap Company Number 114 Wolf Trap. Newhouse traps are the creation of Sewell Newhouse, and the Oneida Community. When Sewell moved to Oneida County, New York at the age of 14, he spent most of his time in the woods, becoming well-aquainted with local Native American tribes. Under their guidance, he became a well-rounded woodsman, especially interested in pursuit and capture of wild animals. Sewell made his first trap of scrap metal found in his fathers workshop at 17 years old. In 1849, Newhouse was approached by John Humphrey Noyes, who had just launched a communal living venture on the banks of Oneida Creek, a few miles from Kenwood, New York. The commune was a religious idea, intended to save mankind. It was based on the idea that a perfect life could only be lived if people sacrificed everything to the community
