INTRODUCTIOH. 
 
 In presenting to the public the Gazetteer and Business Directory of 
 Jefferson County we desire to return our sincere thanks to all who have 
 kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains. Especially are our 
 thanks due the editors and manageis of the county papers for the uniform 
 kindness they have evinced in calling public attention to our efforts, and for 
 essential aid in furnishing material for the work and granting us the use of 
 their files ; to various members of the Jefferson County Historical Society for 
 aid and encouragement ; to the clergy throughout the county; to the follow- 
 ing citizens of Watertown : Luther J. Dorwin, Esq., for his paper on the 
 " Bench and Bar " ; Daniel S. Marvin for the papers on " Prehistoric Man " 
 and " The Ice Age " ; Moses Eames for various contributions ; Hon. Beman 
 Brockway for history of the "Press of Jefferson County"; Andrew W. 
 Munk and Mrs. John A. Sherman for valuable contributions on cheesemak- 
 ing : John C. Knowlton for his sketch of the papermaking interests; Col. 
 Albert D. Shaw for interesting history connected with the provost-marshal's 
 office during the civil war ; Dr. J. Mortimer Crawe for history of the Jeffer- 
 son County Medical Society ; T. H. Camp for biographical sketches ; Fred 
 Seymour for history of the schools of Watertown ; and Prof. R. S. Bosworth 
 for biographical work ; to F. E. Wilson, of Rutland, for his article on the 
 '•Grange " ; to Leonard G. Peck and the late George Gilbert, of Carthage, for 
 various historical papers connected with that village ; to Col. W. B. Camp, of 
 Sackets Harbor, for interesting sketches connected with the War of 1812-15, 
 concerning Madison Barracks, and for several biographical sketches ; to Col. 
 Richard I. Dodge and the officers of his staff for courtesies at Madison Bar- 
 racks ; to J. M. Cleveland, of Adams, for various papers; to D. A. Dwight, 
 of Adams, for history of several churches, and other sketches ; and to many 
 others who have rendered valuable assistance. We have also consulted the 
 following: Spafford's Gazetteers, published in 1813 and 1824; Hough's 
 History of Jefferson County, 1854; L. Vi.'Ev&xis Sz Cos History of Jefferson 
 County, 1878; Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, 1889;

 charts of Lake Ontario and the River St. Lawrence ; the several published 
 maps of the county ; the diary of James Mix for historical data of Champion ; 
 and various pamphlets and reports of societies, institutions, corporations, 
 and villages. 
 
 That errors have occurred in so great a number of names, dates, and state- 
 ments is probable, and that names have been omitted which should have 
 been inserted is quite certain. We can only say that we have exercised 
 more than ordinary diligence and care in this difficult and complicated feature 
 of bookmaking. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or 
 omissions we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in noting such 
 as have been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which 
 are found corrected in the " Errata'' at the close of this volume. 
 
 It was designed to give a brief account of all the churches and other 
 societies in the county, but owing in some cases to the negligence of those 
 who were able to give the necessary information, and in others to the ina- 
 bility of any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit special notices of a 
 few. 
 
 We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the ex- 
 planations at the commencement of the Directory, on page 3, Part Second. 
 The names it embraces, and the information connected therewith, were ob- 
 tained by actual canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of 
 those from whom they were solicited renders possible. Each agent is furnished 
 with a map of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is required to pass 
 over every road and call at every dwelling and place of business in the town 
 in order to obtain the facts from the individuals concerned whenever possible. 
 The margins have been left broad to enable any one to note changes 
 opposite the names. 
 
 The map inside the back cover will be found, in connection with the 
 Directory, very valuable. 
 
 We take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in 
 the book will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully con- 
 scious that the brief description of the county the scope of the work enables 
 us to give is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may 
 prove an aid to future historians, who will be better able to do full justice to 
 the subject. 
 
 While thanking our patrons and friends generally, for the cordiality with 
 which our efforts have been seconded,' we leave the work to secure that favor 
 which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public, hoping they 
 will bear in mind, should errors be noted, that " he who expects a perfect 
 work to see, expects what ne'er was, is, nor yet shall be."

 OF 
 
 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 JEFFERSON COUNTY once formed a part of the original county of 
 Albany, the line of evolution from the latter being as follows : Albany 
 County, formed November i, 1683; Tryon, formed from Albany, 
 March 12, 1772; Montgomery, changed from Tryon, April 2, 1784; Herki- 
 mer, formed from Montgomery, January 16, 1791; Oneida, formed from 
 Herkimer, March 15, 1798; Jefferson,* formed from Oneida, March 28, 1805. 
 A part of the act erecting Jefferson County is as follows: — 
 
 "Beit enacted hy the people of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly , 
 That all that part of the county of Oneida, contained within the following bounds, to wit: 
 Beginning at the southwest corner of the town of EUisburgh, on the easterly shore of Lake 
 Ontario, and running along the southerly line of said town ; thence along the easterly Une 
 thereof to the southwest corner of the town of Malta [Lorraine] ; thence along the southerly 
 line of the said town of Malta, and continuing the same course to the corner of townships 
 number two, three, seven, and eight; thence north along the east line of the town of Malta 
 aforesaid to the northeast corner thereof; thence in a direct line to the corner of the towns of 
 Eutland and Champion; thence along the line between the said town of Champion and the town 
 of Harrisburgto Black Eivor; thence in a direct line to the bounds of the county of St. Law- 
 rence, to intersect the same at the corner of townships numbers seven and eleven, in Great 
 Tract number three, of Macomb's Purchase ; thence along the westerly bounds ofthesaid coun ty 
 of St. Lawrence to the north bounds of this state; thence westerly and southerly along said 
 bounds, including all the islands in the Eiver St. Lawrence, in Lake Ontario, and in front 
 thereof, and within this state to the place of beginning, shall be, and hereby is, erected into a 
 separate county, and shall be called and known by the name of Jefferson." 
 
 ***** He 
 
 "And be it further unacted, That all that part of township number nine, which is com- 
 prised within the bounds of the said county of Jefferson, shall be annexed to and become a 
 part of the town of Harrison [Bodman], in said county, and that all that part of the said 
 township number nine, comprised within the bounds of the said county of Lewis, shall be an- 
 nexed to and become a part of the town of Harrisburg, in said county." 
 
 Hough's History says: " The relative limits of Jefferson and Lewis counties 
 have been three times changed. It will be noticed by reference that the 
 present town of Pinckney was then divided by a line that was a continuation 
 
 * Lewis County was formed from Oneida by the same act.

 of the west lines of towns 8 and 3, of Boylston's tract ; and that from the line 
 between Champion and Denmark, on Black River, the division ran straight 
 to St. Lawrence County, where the line of townships 7 and 1 1, of tract III., 
 touched the county line. On February 12, 1808, the whole of No. g 
 (Pinckney) was included in Lewis County. On April 5, 1810, the line east 
 of the river, beginning as before at the east corner of Champion, ran thence 
 to the southwest corner of a lot in 11 west and 21 north ranges, subdivisions 
 of No. 5; thence east between 20 and 21 northern ranges, to the southwest 
 ■corner of lot in 10 west, 21 north range ; thence north between 10 and 11, 
 to south line of lot No. 4; thence east to lots 808 and 809; thence along 
 808 and 809 to lot 857 ; thence to southeast corner of 857 and 809, to north- 
 east corner of 851; thence west, on line of lots 85 r and 850, to the south- 
 west corner of 850; thence northeast along line of lots to St. Lawrence 
 County. The present hue between the two counties was established April 2, 
 1813, by which this county received considerable accessions from Lewis in the 
 town of Wilna." 
 
 Jefferson County is situated in the northern part of the state of New 
 York, in an angle formed by the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, the 
 superficial area, according to the latest statistics, being 733,585 acres, equiv- 
 alent to 1,146 square miles. It is bounded on the northwest by the St. 
 Lawrence River, on the northeast by St. Lawrence County, on the west by 
 Lake Ontario, on the south by Oswego County, and on the east by Lewis 
 County. The southwest part is marshy, but at a short distance from the 
 lake the land rises in gentle undulations, and, farther inland, by abrupt ter- 
 races to the highest point, 1,200 feet above the lake, in the town of Worth.* 
 A plateau, about 1,000 feet above the lake, spreads out from the summit, 
 and extends into Oswego and Lewis counties. An ancient lake beach, 390 
 feet above the present level of the lake, may be traced through EUisburgh, 
 Adams, Watertown, and Rutland. North of Black River the surface is gen- 
 erally flat or slightly undulating ; in the extreme northeast corner it is broken 
 by low ridges parallel to the St. Lawrence. With the exception of a few 
 isolated hills no part of the region is as high as the ancient lake ridge men- 
 tioned. An isolated hill in Pamelia formerly bore a crop of red cedar ; and, 
 as this timber is now only found upon the islands in the lake and in the St. 
 Lawrence, it is supposed that the hill was an island at a time when at least 
 three-fourths of the country was covered by water. 
 
 * A recent correspondent in the Watertown Times claims the highest point of land in. 
 Jefferson County to be in the town of Wilna, on the farm of James Harvej'. about one 
 mile from Carthage village. This peak (which is but a huge rock) is known as Mount 
 McQuillan, and is one corner of the Adirondack survey. On the highest portion of the 
 rock is a spot chipped out by the surveying party to locate the place. On one side of the 
 rock there is a natural well, as round as a barrel and 12 feet deep, which furnishes pure and 
 wholesome water. From this well have been taken, in cleaning it, large quantities of small 
 stones, such as are found on the lake shores, that had the appearance of having been 
 washed by running water for years. 
 
LAKES AND WATER COURSES. 
 
 The main water features of the county are Ontario Lake and St. Lawrence 
 River. The main indentations of the lake are Black River Bay, Chaumont 
 Bay, Henderson Bay, and Guffin's Bay. Black River Bay is accounted the 
 finest harbor on Lake Ontario, and is surpassed by none on the upper lakes 
 for capacity, depth of water, and safety. It is completely land-locked, and, 
 including its various ramifications, covers an area of about 60 square miles, 
 with depth of water sufficient to float the heaviest vessels. The largest islands 
 attached to Jefferson County are Wells, Grindstone, and Carleton in the St. 
 Lawrence, and Grenadier, Galloe, and Stony islands in the lake. Besides 
 these there are innumerable smaller ones, including several m the mouth of 
 Black River, a number in Black River and Chaumont bays, and a portion of 
 the archipelago, known as the "Thousand Islands." Among the most prom- 
 inent headlands and capes are Stony Point and Six Town Point, in the town 
 of Henderson ; Pillar Point, in Brownville; Point Peninsula and Point Salu- 
 brious, in Lyme; and Tibbets Point, in Cape Vincent. 
 
 There are about 20 small lakes in the county, of which lo are in Theresa 
 and Alexandria, two in Henderson, four in Ellisburgh, two in Antwerp, and 
 one each in Orleans and Pamelia, Champion and Rutland. The largest of 
 these is Butterfield Lake, lying between Theresa and Alexandria, which is 
 about four miles in length. The other more important, ones are Perch Lake 
 lying between Orleans and Pamelia, nearly three miles in length, and Pleas- 
 ant Lake, in Champion, about two miles long. 
 
 The most important of the interior streams is Black River, which drains 
 about one-fourth of the county^ passing through a little south of the cetiter. 
 Between Carthage, on the east line of the county, and the lake this stream 
 falls 480 feet, and is almost a continuous series of rapids, with several cas- 
 cades varying from two to 15 feet in perpendicular descent. The other prin- 
 cipal streams are Indian River, a branch of the Oswegatchie ; Chaumont 
 River, flowing into Chaumont Bay ; Perch River, which drains Perch Lake 
 and discharges into Black River Bay ; the two branches of Sandy Creek, in 
 the south part of the county ; Stony Creek, in Henderson and Adams ; and 
 Mill Creek, in Hounsfield, the last four named flowing into Lake Ontario 
 south of Black River. These and minor streams will be described more 
 fully in the description of towns through which they flow. 
 
 When the settlement of Jeiferson County began its territory was embraced 
 in two towns of Oneida County. All south of Black River was a part of 
 Mexico, and all north of the river belonged to I^eyden. The formation of 
 Jefferson and Lewis counties from Oneida was made necessary by the rapid 
 settlement of the country, and the inability of the courts to meet the de- 
 mands of justice when their jurisdiction extended over such a vast territory. 
 It was at first intended to erect but one new county. Local interests began 
 to operate to secure the advantages expected from the location of the public 
 buildings. Each section had its advocates. Nathan Sage in Redfield, 
 Walter Martin in Martinsburg, Silas Stow and others in Lowville, Moss 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Kent, Noadiah Hubbard, and others in Champion, Henry CofFeen in Wat- 
 ertown, and Jacob Brown in Browuville were each intent upon the project 
 of a county seat. In case but one county was erected Champion had the 
 fairest prospects of success, and indeed such had been the chances, in the 
 opinion of several prominent citizens, that they located there. To obtain an 
 expression of public opinion on this subject three delegates, chosen at town 
 meetings, from each town interested in the question, met at the house of 
 Freedom Wright, in Harrisburg (Denmark), November 20, 1804. Many 
 went with the intention of voting for one new county only, but strong local 
 interests led to the attendance of those who so influenced the voice of the 
 delegation that, with but one exception, they decided for two new counties, 
 and the convention united upon recommending the names of the executive 
 officers of the federal and state governments, then in office, from whence 
 came the names of Jefferson and Lewis from Thomas Jefferson and Morgan 
 Lewis, both men of national celebrity. Application was accordingly made to 
 the legislature, and on March 4, 1805, Mr. Wright, then in the Assembly, 
 from the committee to whom was referred petitions and remonstran- 
 ces from the inhabitants of the county of Oneida relative to a division 
 thereof, reported " that they had examined the facts stated as to population 
 and extent of territory, in said county, and the inconvenience of attending 
 county concerns, and find the same to be true." A division was deemed 
 necessary, and leave was granted to bring in a bill, which was twice read the 
 same day, and passed through the legislature without opposition. * 
 
 Section 5 of the act erecting Jefferson and Lewis counties provided for 
 the appointment of three commissioners, " who shall not be resident within 
 the western district of this state, or interested in either of the said counties 
 of Jefferson or Lewis, for the purpose of designating the sites for the court- 
 houses and gaols, of the said counties respectively, and to that end the said 
 commissioners shall as soon as may be, previous to the first day of October 
 next, repair to the said counties respectively, and after exploring the same, 
 ascertain and designate a fit and proper place in each of the said counties for 
 erecting the said buildings." 
 
 The commissioners appointed were Matthew Dorr, David Rogers, and 
 John Van Bentheusen. The question of location was not settled without 
 the most active efforts being made by Brownville to secure the site • but the 
 balance of settlement was then south of Black River, and the level lands in 
 the north part of the county were represented to the commissioners as 
 swampy and incapable of settlement. Jacob Brown, finding it impossible to 
 secure this advantage to his place, next endeavored to retain it, at least 
 north of Black River, and offered an eligible site in the present town of 
 Pamelia; but in this he also failed. The influence of Henry Coffeen is said 
 to have been especially strong with the commissioners, although he was

 seconded by others of much ability. The location finally decided upon was 
 in WatertOwn, on the site of the present county jail, then quite a distance 
 from the business portion of the village. This, it is said, was to conciliate 
 those who had been disappointed in its location. A deed of the premises 
 was presented by Henry and Amos Coffeen. 
 
 The first meeting of the board of supervisors of Jefferson County was held 
 in the old frame school house, which occupied the site of the present Univer- 
 salist Church in Watertown city. The date of this meeting was October i, 
 1805, and the following persons constituted the first board; Noadiah Hub- 
 bard, of Champion ; Cliff French, of Rutland ; Corlis Hinds, of Watertown ; 
 John W. Collins, of letownville ; Nicholas Salisbury, of Adams ; Thomas 
 White, of Harrison (now li:)Jman); Lyman Ellis, of Ellisburgh; and Asa 
 Brown, of Malta (now Lorraine). Noadiah Hubbard was chosen president, 
 after which they adjourned the meeting until 3 o'clock p. m., at the house of 
 Abijah Putnam. They met according to adjournment and proceeded to 
 elect, by ballot, Zelotes Harvey, clerk, and Benjamin Skinner, county treas- 
 urer. The latter was required to furnish security in the sum of $5,000 for 
 the faithful discharge of his duties, which he did, Jacob Brown becoming his 
 bondsman. The session lasted seven days, the entire appropriations amount- 
 ing to $723.44- 
 
 The first officers of the county, after its organization, who were appointed 
 by the governor and council, were as follows: Henry Coffeen, county clerk ; 
 Abel Sherman, sheriff; Benjamin Skinner (appointed by board of super- 
 visors), county treasurer; Nathan Williams, district attorney (1807) ; Am- 
 brose Pease, coroner. 
 
 The following is a full list of members of the board of supervisors of Jef- 
 ferson County for 1890, and includes 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats: 
 Adams, W. D. Arms ; Alexandria, Fred T. Holmes ; Antwerp, Dr.. G. H.

 PREHISTORIC MAN. 
 
 For the following account of the occupancy of this territory, before the 
 advent of the white settlers, the pubUsher is indebted to D. S. Marvin, of 
 Watertown, who has devoted much time to the study of aboriginal traces, 
 etc., and is probably more competent to deal with the subject than any 
 other resident of the county : — 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 During the opening scenes of the historic era the territory of Jefferson 
 County was unoccupied by Indians, but held by the Oneidas and Onondagas 
 as hunting-grounds ; stealthily visited now and then by the St. Regis, Mas- 
 sasauga, and other Canadian tribes for like objects. 
 
 Dr. Hough, in his History published in 1854, mentions and describes some 
 20 mostly fortified Indian village sites, situated in all parts of the county. 
 Dr. Hough's accounts were mostly taken from Aboriginal Monuments of 
 New York, by E. G. Squier, Smithsonian contributions. Record is also made 
 in the 3d vol. of Documentary History of New York of others visited and 
 described in 1802 by an early itinerant missionary. But our most exact 
 knowledge comes from explorations since made of ti'd ;remains that lie buried 
 in the soils of the county. These show that th<r .'erritory had been occupied 
 by Indians for considerable but unknown periods of time, anterior to the 
 discovery of America. The territory of the county was ceded in 1788 to the 
 state, by the Oneidas, excepting some small individual grants. The document 
 was called a treaty, but it was really a deed. One fact in this connection, 
 bearing much significance as to Indian polity, has heretofore escaped com- 
 ment. It is this: there are the signatures of four women attached to the 
 instrument with those of the chiefs of the nation. This makes it evident that 
 the Oneidas had already emerged from the stage of savageism and advanced 
 to the middle stages of barbarism, for in the former or savage stage inheri- 
 tance is entirely in the female line. Here we see the chiefs and females are 
 associated to convey the title. Rights of hunting and fishing in the ceded 
 territory were reserved by the Oneidas, and this right was maintained until 
 the county was settled with whites by the Macomb purchase and its grantees, 
 Le Ray de Chaumont, and others. 
 
 The descriptions of Indian remains given by the authors referred to, and 
 others, like all accounts of early times, are no doubt in the main founded 
 upon facts ; but the immense size of some of the skeletons, the rows of double 
 teeth of the warriors, the remains of giants that lie buried in the soils of the 
 county, seem more or less mythical; no such remains are now found. Some 
 years ago Drs. E. W. and F. G. Trowbridge, of Watertown, exhumed some 
 15 or more skeletons near Apling postofifice, on the old Talcott farm in 
 Adams, one of the places described by Dr. Hough, and a typical forti- 
 fied village site, where the Hues of entrenchments made by the Indians 
 in defending themselves against their enemies may still be clearly traced. 
 These skeletons were the remains of men, women, and children, and instead of 
 showing the giants of prehistoric times, they were of less robust habit and 
 averaged smaller size than those of the Five Nations, and the generally faintly 
 traced muscle attachments show inferior muscular development, and the 
 whole osteology people of small stature. Their similar manner of entrench- 
 ing for defensive purposes evinces that the other sites were constructed and 
 occupied by the same tribe, at the same dates, and under like conditions. 
 The considerable amounts of burned corn, both upon the sites occupied 
 
PREHISTORIC MAN. 
 
 and in some of the graves, show them to have been to some extent an agri- 
 cultural tribe. For the purposes of easy tillage all these villages were located 
 upon sand-covered moraines, and other easily wrought soils. Considering 
 the rude stone tools, with which they were constructed, many years of labor 
 must have been expended upon these lines of defense ; much strategical 
 skill is displayed in locating the entrenchments, the lay of the ground was 
 well studied, and advantage taken of the situation wherever natural defen- 
 sive objects could be utilized, such as steep slopes, hills, rocks, and shores of 
 streams. The shapes are not regular, but the result of local conditions; 
 some have but one side entrenched, others have double lines, and the one on 
 Black River Bay, located upon an open plateau, was round, and had double 
 lines of entrenchments, with a lunette towards the water. Access to water was 
 never left unstudied. 
 
 Their stone hoes and other agricultural implements evince skill and adap- 
 tation'to the wants demanded ; stone gouges for tapping maple trees and 
 making sugar were common. This seems to have been quite a feature of 
 their domestic economies. Their war-like implements seem to have been 
 much less considered and elaborate than among the Iroquois, but the two 
 have sometimes been so intermingled that we cannot now always be certain 
 of which is local and which Iroquian. Many of their domestic utensils were 
 made of pottery, and broken pottery is a distinguishing feature of all these 
 village sites. A careful examination shows that this pottery was much used 
 for cooking utensils, boiling sap, etc., by throwing in heated stones. The 
 blackened inner surfaces still show charred food clinging to the broken frag- 
 ments. Some of these vessels seem to have been of considerable size. 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Pipes made of clay, of which figures i, 2, and 3 are typical styles, were a 
 ■distinguishing feature; those of conventionalized animal forms were common. 
 A few steatite and slate pipes, of fanciful and massive structure, have been 
 found, but their scarcity suggests that they were from other tribes. Tobacco 
 was much cultivated to fill these numerous pipes. 
 
 The debris accumulating around these ancient encampments has been 
 found several feet thick, and there can be distinguished several different 
 layers, showing interruptions in their occupation. In the lower layers the 
 bones are very rotten ; soon crumbling to pieces upon exposure to the air. 
 In the upper layers some of the bone implements, consisting of spear points, 
 bodkins, awls, and others of deer's horns, seem as fresh as if made and used 
 at the present day. Much more use was made of bone and horn utensils 
 and implements than among tribes where chert and fiint is more common in 
 the rocks. The stone hatchets seem more battered and broken than among 
 the Iroquois. 
 
 At Perch Lake, which seems to have been a favorite 
 fishing station, there are two kinds of so-called mounds, 
 one generally upwn the islands, .of small size and flat 
 top, the other upon the ridges, or lateral moraines of 
 the shores, the latter consisting of raised circles with 
 dish-shaped centers, from one to two rods across and 
 three or four feet high. 
 
 some of the circles over- 
 lapping, perhaps hinting 
 of the practice of polyg- 
 amy; for, beyond a doubt, fig. 3. 
 
 these are the remains of an earlier form of Indian dwellings in use before the 
 square house of the Iroquois had been devised. The same form is still in use 
 among the Digger Indians of California, and others ofour less advanced tribes. 
 
 The same form and style of houses is hinted by the circles of toad-stools, 
 growing from buried organic matter, upon the once strongly fortified mound, 
 also spoken of by Squier and Hough, on the Gragg farm near the hamlet of 
 Burrville. But it seems probable that this earlier form of dwelling was super- 
 seded by the later square house of the Iroquois, built mostly of wood and 
 partly above ground, without chimneys, except a hole in the roof for exit of 
 smoke, and as many, but partly separated, copartments as there were fam- 
 ilies to be accommodated, for there now remains none of the circles around 
 the sites of other villages. Chimneys were entirely unknown to the Indians ; 
 indeed, they did not come into general use in civilized European states until 
 the fourteenth century. 
 
 That the square house was a stage of evolutionary progress is made evi- 
 dent by a survey of the condition of the Iroquois. Whether the Indians were 
 autochthonous or not would carry the discussionjbeyond the scope of the pres- 
 ent inquiry. Judging from a careful survey of the facts it is evident that

 "Indians had inhabited the territory under consideration from one to two 
 thousand years. There were certainly no so-called mound builders here. 
 But the remains show clearly that the tribe inhabiting the county was forced 
 to defend themselves against some enemy. The local conditions seem to sug- 
 gest that the tribe here was the Massasugas, or some contiguous Adirondack 
 or Canadian Indians, and were driven from the county by the more progres- 
 sive and powerful Iroquois, who had already advanced so far as to under- 
 stand the value of combination and concert of action in war, and this is what 
 is termed advancement from savage to barbarian life. Whether the square 
 house was used by the tribe probably driven away is a question that cannot 
 now be answered; the older round or dirt house, being much more deeply set, 
 left a more lasting impression upon the soil. It is a notable fact that Lewis 
 and Clark found the same style of square house in use in 1805 among the 
 Oregon Indians, and on the Pacific, showing that the confederated and power- 
 ful Iroquois were not the only tribes that had advanced by natural laws from a 
 lower to a stage of development before the historic period came in. 
 
 There may have been occasional giants among the Indians, for they ap- 
 pear among both ancient and modern nations occasionally, but are more 
 common in modern than ancient times, — a natural result of civilization in 
 ameliorating the conditions for development. 
 
 The Oneidas, who sometimes spent their summers here in hunting, were 
 perhaps the most friendly to the whites, also the most progressive tribe of 
 the Iroquian confederacy. Indeed the whole Six Nations had developed so 
 far as to comprehend and adopt the advantages of strong combinations, 
 thereby placing themselves upon a higher plane than other tribes outside 
 of their confederacy, who showed less capacity for such development and 
 combination. This is made evident when we consider the territory and 
 tribes they had conquered and made tributary to themselves before the set- 
 tlement of the country by white men. Their sway already extended beyond 
 the lakes and St. Lawrence, westivard to the Mississippi, southward to 
 ■Georgia, eastward to the Hudson and ocean. But unfortunately for the con- 
 ifederation the clash of arms caused by the conquests of the whites resulted 
 in arrest of progress, if not in actual revertion, and their tenacious retention 
 ■of the old tribal laws and relations now retards and prevents civilization. 
 
 GEOLOGY. 
 
 Geology is that branch of natural science which treats of the structure of 
 =the crust of the earth and the mode of formation of its rocks, together with 
 the history of physical changes and of life on our planet during the succes- 
 sive stages of its history. It depends upon mineralogy for its knowledge of 
 the constituent rocks, and upon chemistry and physics for its knowledge of 
 the laws of change ; and in its study of fossil remains it is closely connected 
 ■with the science of zoology and botany. A knowledge of geology lies at the 
 
14 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 base of physical geography, and is essential to the skillful prosecution of 
 mining and other useful arts. 
 
 The geological history of the earth is ascertained by a study of the succes- 
 sive beds of rock which have been deposited on its surface, and of the masses- 
 which have been forced up in a liquid state from within its crust, together 
 with the fossil remains of animals and plants which certain of the beds con- 
 tain. As thus established, it is usually divided into four great periods, the- 
 names of which are taken from the progress of animal life, as this at present 
 affords one of the best criteria for geological classification. They are : I.,^ 
 the Eozoic, or " period of the dawn of life " ; II., the Paleozoic, or " period 
 of ancient life " ; III., the Mesozoic, or " middle period of life " ; and IV.,. 
 the Neozoic, or " recent period of life." 
 
 Each of these admits of subdivisions, which may stand as follows, beginnings 
 with the oldest: Eozoic — Laurentian and Huronian ; Paleozoic — Cambrian 
 or Primodial, Siluro Cambrian, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Per- 
 mian ; Mesozoic — Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous ; Neozoic — Eocene^ 
 Miocene, Pliocene, Post-pliocene, and Recent. 
 
 In the oldest condition of the earth, shown by the most ancient of the rock 
 formations above referred to, its surface was covered with water more gen- 
 erally than at present, and sediments were then, as now, being deposited in 
 the waters. The earth must, however, have an earlier history than this,^ 
 though not represented by distinct geological monuments. This primitive 
 condition of the earth is a subject of inference and speculation rather than 
 of actual knowledge ; still, we may begin with a consideration of a fact bear- 
 ing upon questions which has long excited attention. It is the observed in- 
 crease of temperature in descending into deep mines and in the water of 
 deep artesian wells — an increase which may be stated in round numbers at 
 one degree of heat of the centrigrade scale for every loo feet of depth from 
 the surface. These observations apply, of course, to a very considerable 
 depth, and we have no certainty that this rate continues for any great 
 distance toward the center of the earth. If, however, we regard it as indi- 
 cating the actual law of increase of temperature it would result that the 
 whole crust of the earth is a mere shell covering a molten mass of rocky 
 matter. Thus a very slight exercise of imagination would carry us back to 
 a time when this slender crust had not yet been formed, and the earth rolled 
 through space an incandescent globe, with all its water and other vaporizable 
 matters in a gaseous state. Astronomical calculation has, however, shown 
 that the earth, in its relation to other heavenly bodies, obeys the laws of a 
 riged ball, and not of a fluid globe. Hence it has been inferred that its 
 actual crust is very thick, perhaps not less than 2,500 miles, and that its fluid 
 portion must therefore be of smaller dimensions than has been inferred from 
 the observed increase of temperature. Further, it seems to have been 
 rendered probable, from the density of rock matter in the solid and liquid 
 states, that a molten globe would solidify at the center as well as at the sur- 
 
GEOLOGY. 1 5 
 
 face, and consequently that the earth must not only have a solid crust of 
 great thickness, but also a solid nucleus, and that any liquid portions must 
 be a sheet or detached masses intervening between these. Still this would 
 merely go to show that the earth has advanced far toward the entire loss of 
 its original heat. Other considerations, based oh the form of the earth and 
 the distribution of variances, lead to similar conclusions. It must be 
 observed, however, that there are good reasons for the belief that the products 
 of volcanoes arise chiefly from the fusion of portions of the stratified crusts. 
 Such considerations, however, lead to the conclusion that the former watery 
 condition of our planet was not its first state, and that we must trace it back 
 to a previous reign of fire. The reasons which can be adduced in support of 
 this are no doubt somewhat vague, and may in their details be variously in- 
 terpreted, but at present we have no other interpretation to give of that chaos, 
 formless and void, that state in which " nor aught nor naught existed," which 
 the sacred writings and the traditions of ancient nations concur with modern 
 science in indicating as the primitive state of the earth. 
 
 In the Eozoic time we have actual monuments to study. The Laurentian 
 rocks, more especially, occupy a very wide space in the northern part of 
 America. These rocks stretch along the north side of the St. Lawrence 
 River from Labrador to Lake Superior, and thence northwardly to an un- 
 known distance. In the Old World the rocks of this age do not appear so ex- 
 tensively, although they have been recognized in Norway and Sweden, in the 
 Hebrides, and in Bohemia. Geologists long looked in vain for evidences of 
 life in the Laurentian period, but its probable existence was inferred from 
 such considerations as the abundance of carbon, limestone, iron, etc. — mate- 
 rials known to be accumulated in the newer formations by the agency of life. 
 In addition to the inferential evidence, however, one well- marked animal 
 fossil has been found in the Laurentian of Canada — Eozoon Canadense, a 
 gigantic representation of one of the lowest forms of animal life, that of the 
 Protozoa, and a type still extant in the ocean, and remarkable for its power 
 of collecting and secreting calcareous matter. 
 
 The following pertaining to the geological structure of Jefferson County is 
 condensed from Dr. Hough's excellent chapter on that subject published in 
 his History of Jefferson County, in 1854 : — 
 
 Geologists divide rocks into two great c\a,sses, primary and sedimentary or 
 secondary ; the first, from their crystalline character and mode of occurrence, 
 often exhibit evidences of having been subjected to the agency of heat, 
 while the latter appear made up of materials derived from the former, broken 
 up and deposited in water, and usually contain fossil remains of animals and 
 plants, that lived at the period of their formation. Both primary and second- 
 ary rocks occur in Jefferson County ; the former of which, with the dividing, 
 line between them, affords only rational prospects of valuable metallic veins 
 and deposits, as well as most of the crystalline minerals. Of the latter we are 
 not without localities that vie with the most noted, and the primitive region of 
 
1 6 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 the county will abundantly repay the labor of naineral collection. The rock 
 constituting the primary is mainly composed of gneiss , a mixture of quartz, 
 feldspar, and mica, which are regarded as elementary or simple minerals, and 
 make up by far the largest part of what is known of the earth's surface. In 
 _gneiss these usually occur in irregular strata, often contorted, never horizon- 
 tal, and seldom continuing of uniform thickness more than a few feet. It 
 forms by far the largest part of the surface rock throughout the great north- 
 ern forest of New York, embracing nearly the whole of Hamilton, and a part 
 of Lewis, Herkimer, Fulton, Saratoga, Warren, Essex, Clinton, FrankUn, and 
 St. Lawrence counties, and in Jefferson this rock constitutes the greater part 
 of the islands in the St. Lawrence, between French Creek and Morristown, 
 and appears in Clayton, Orleans, and Alexandria on the river bank ; in the 
 latter town it extends back a mile or two from the shore. It forms a strip 
 extending up both sides of Indian River to Theresa village, and the shores 
 and islands of most of the lakes of that town and Antwerp, and much of the 
 country within the node of Indian River, towards the village of Philadel- 
 phia, where it forms the surface rock and extends to Antwerp, the greater part 
 of which it underlies. From this town it extends along Indian River to the 
 village of Natural Bridge, and thence to Carthage, where it forms the islands 
 among the rapids of the Long Falls, and thence follows up the river, keeping 
 a little west of its channel, through Lewis and Oneida counties. In this area 
 there are occasional ledges of white or primary limestone, especially in Ant- 
 werp, with limited quantities of serpentine, and superficial patches of sand- 
 stone. 
 
 Lying next above the primitive, and forming a considerable amount of sur- 
 face rock, in Alexandria, Theresa, Clayton, Orleans, and Antwerp, is the 
 Fotsdam sandstone, so named from the fine manner in which it is developed 
 in that town. It is the oldest of sedimentary rocks, and contains (but rarely) 
 the forms of organic bodies that were created at the dawn of the vital prin- 
 ciple. Two genera, one a plant, the other a shell, have been found in this 
 rock, but so rarely that it may be almost said to be without fossils. Its prin- 
 cipal constituent is silex, in the form of sand, firmly consolidated, and form- 
 ing, where it can be cleaved into blocks of regular shape and uniform size, 
 a most elegant and durable building material. 
 
 In the vicinity of Theresa, Redwood, etc., there occurs in numerous places 
 in this rock the cylindrical structure, common at many localities in St. Law- 
 rence County, and apparently produced by eddies acting upon the sands at 
 the bottom of the shallow water. This formation is generally in thick masses, 
 often disturbed by upheavals, almost invariably inclined from the horizontal, 
 and seldom in this county so evenly stratified as to admit of that uniformity 
 of fracture that gives value to it as a building material at Potsdam, Malone, 
 etc. It is, however, extensively used for this purpose, and forms a cheap and 
 durable, but not an elegant, wall. This rock has two applications in the use- 
 ful arts, of great importance — the lining of blast furnaces, and the manu- 
 
GEOLOGY. 1 7 
 
 facture of glass. The quarry that has been most used for lining stone is in 
 Antwerp, where the rock occurs highly inclined, but capable of being divided 
 into blocks of uniform texture and any desirable size. The edges of the stone, 
 when laid in the furnace, are exposed to the fire, and become slightly fused, 
 forming a glazing to the surface. For the manufacture of glass the stone is 
 calcined in kilns and crushed and sifted, when it affords a sand of much 
 whiteness, and eminently suitable for the purpose. 
 
 This rock is generally overlaid by a fertile soil, but this is more due to the 
 accidental deposition of drift than the disintegration of the rock itself, for 
 such is its permanence that it can scarcely be found to have yielded to the 
 destructive agencies that have covered many other rocks with soil. The 
 polished and scratched surfaces given by diluvial attrition are almost uni- 
 formly preserved, and wherever this formation appears at the surface it pre- 
 sents a hardness and sharpness of outline strongly indicative of its capacity 
 to resist decay. A very peculiar feature is presented by the margin of this 
 rock, which, by the practiced eye, may be detected at a distance, and which 
 strongly distinguishes it from all others. The outline is generally an abrupt 
 escarpment, sometimes extending with much regularity for miles, occasionally 
 broken by broad, ragged ravines, or existing as outstanding insular masses, and 
 always presenting, along the foot of the precipice, huge masses of rock that 
 have fallen from above. The most remarkable terrace of this kind begins on 
 the north shore of Black Lake, in Morristown, and extends through Hammond 
 into Alexandria, much of the distance near the line of the Military road, and 
 other instances are common throughout the region underlaid by this rock. 
 
 Next in the ascending series is a rock which, in this part of the state, con- 
 stitutes a thin but level formation, and from its being a sandy limestone has 
 been named a calciferous sandstone. This rock appears as the surface rock 
 between Antwerp and Carthage ; between the Checkered House, in Wilna^ 
 and Natural Bridge; between Antwerp and Sterlingville ; and in Theresa,. 
 Alexandria, Orleans, and Clayton. In many places it is filled with fossils,, 
 and is valueless as a building material. 
 
 Next above this rock is the chazy limestone, that occurs highly developed, 
 and abounding in organic remains, but, according to Professor Emmons, does 
 not appear in the Black River valley. The next rock there is the Birds-Eye 
 limestone, which includes the close-grained, hard, and thick-bedded strata,, 
 in which the layers of water limestone occur in Le Ray, Pamelia, Orleans, 
 Brownville, and Clayton. Its color is usually bluish and light gray, weather- 
 ing to an ashen gray ; its fracture is more or less flinty, with many crystalline 
 points; and its fossils few and seldom obtained except on the weathered sur- 
 face. Its characteristic fossil, in the manner in which its verticle stems divide 
 and interlace with each other, presents features totally distinct from any^ 
 known analogy, either in marine plants or the zoophiles. These sterns are 
 filled with crystalHne matter and often make up a great part of its 
 mass. When polished this rock presents an appearance which has given it 
 
1 8 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 the name, and in quarrying it readily breaks into regular masses. This forms 
 the surface rock over a considerable extent of Cape Vincent, Lyme, Brown- 
 ville, Pamelia, Le Ray, and Wilna. The part that overlies the yellowish 
 water lime strata abounds in nodules of flint that everywhere stand in relief 
 upon the weathered surface. These are thought to be the fossil remains of 
 sponges, or other form of animal life, analogous. These masses of flint often 
 contain shells, corals, crinoidea, and obscure traces of other organic bodies. 
 
 The Black River limestone, in the classification of Professor Hall, (the Isle 
 La Motle marble of Prof Emmons,) is interposed between the rock last 
 named and the Trenton limestone. It is a well defined mass of grayish-blue 
 limestone, in this county not exceeding lo feet in thickness, but in its fossils 
 clearly distinct from the strata above and below it. Five genera and six 
 species of corals, and five genera and lo species of cephalopoda, are de- 
 scribed in the State Paleontology, as occurring in this rock. It is this forma- 
 tion that contains the caverns of Watertown, Pamelia, and Brownville, 
 concerning which many fabulous accounts have been told.* 
 
 It is to be observed of the strata that intervene between the water hme 
 and the Trenton limestone that from their soluble natureihe natural seams 
 have generally been widened into open chasms, and that from this cause 
 streams of water often find their way under ground in dry seasons. Although 
 generally horizontal the strata are occasionally disturbed by upheavals, as is 
 seen at several places along the line of the railroad between Chaumont and 
 Cape Vincent. 
 
 The next rock above those described is named the Trenton limestone, 
 which mostly constitutes the rock underlying the soil in Champion, Rutland, 
 Watertown, Hounsfield, Henderson, Ellisburgh, Adams, and a part of Rod- 
 man and Brownville. In extent, thickness, number of fossil remains, and 
 economical importance it far surpasses the others. It underlies extensive 
 districts in the Western states, where it is recognized by its characteristic 
 fossils. Its color is usually gray, and its fracture more or less crystalline, 
 occurring usually m strata nearly or quite horizontal, and often separated by 
 thin layers of shale. Many of its fossils are common with the slates above. 
 
 Fossil plants of the lower orders are somewhat common, but are limited 
 to a few species. Of corals the number is greater ; 20 different species 
 of zoophiles are found in this rock. Of that singular class of animals called 
 trilobites, of which there are at present but few Uving analogies, the Trenton 
 limestone furnishes several species. Of shells this rock affords a very great 
 variety. Its stratification is generally nearly horizontal, and disturbances, 
 when they occur, are usually quite limited. In some places it contains veins 
 of calcite, and of heavy spar, the latter, in Adams, being associated with 
 fluor-spar. 
 
 * For an excellent description of these caverns see Hough's History of Jefferson 
 County, pp. 536-538. 
 
TOPOGRAPHY AND SOIL. 19 
 
 Resting upon the Trenton limestone, with which, in the bed of Sandy Creek, 
 in Rodman, it is seen in contact, is a soft black slate, readily crumbling to 
 fragments under the action of frost, and divided by verticle parallel seams 
 into regular masses. From its appearance in the hills north of Utica it has 
 been called Utica slate. It has not been found applicable to any useful pur- 
 pose, although experiments have been made to test its value as a lithic paint. 
 Where sulphuret of iron could be procured the manufacture of alum might 
 be attempted with prospect of success. Fossils are common, but less nu- 
 merous in this rock than in those below it. Several of these are common in 
 the rocks above and below this. Only one species of trilobite is found, 
 though they occur both above and below it. 
 
 Sulphur springs are of frequent occurrence in this rock, and native sulphur 
 is sometimes noticed incrusting the surfaces in ravines, where waters, charged 
 with sulphuretted hydrogen, have been exposed to vegetable action. 
 
 Covering this formation, and constituting the superficial rock of Lorraine, 
 Worth, and a part of Rodman, is a series consisting of alternating layers of 
 shale and slate, some of which are highly fossiliferous and others entirely des- 
 titute of organic remains. From the remarkable development of this rock 
 in Lorraine it has received the name of Lorraine shales. For a similar rea- 
 son it is known elsewhere as the Hudson River group, from its forming the 
 highly inclined shales that occur, of enormous thickness, in the valley of the 
 Hudson. This rock is nearly worthless for any useful purpose, although at 
 Pulaski and elsewhere layers are found that are adapted for building. The 
 mineral springs of Saratoga arise from this rock. Having thus briefly enu- 
 merated the leading geological features of the county some generalizations 
 of the several rocky formations may be made. 
 
 TOPOGRAPHY AND SOIL. 
 
 To one accustomed to close and careful observation the features of a 
 country and the contour of its hills afford a reliable means of opinion on the 
 character of the subjacent rock. There pertains to each of these in this 
 county a peculiarity of profile^ when exposed on the brow of hills, that is as 
 constant and as unmistakable as any class of phenomena offered to the ob- 
 servation of geologists ; and these distinctive features arise from the greater 
 or less facility with which the several rocks yield to disintegrating forces. 
 The shales and slates being easily decomposed, and offering Uttle resistance 
 to the action of running water, present a rounded outline ; running streams 
 have here worn deep, winding gulfs, through which the channels meander, 
 washing alternately the right bank and the left, affording a succession of 
 crumbling precipices, often of romantic beauty, and spreading over the plains, 
 where they issue from the hills, the broken materials brought down from the 
 ravines. The rock is everywhere covered with soil, derived from its own dis- 
 integration, and is inclined to clay, from which cause, when level, there is a 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 tendency to the formation of swamps, from the impermeable character of this 
 material. The soil is generally fertile, and especially adapted to grazing. 
 Wherever diluvial action has existed it has worn, with little difficulty, broad 
 valleys and removed immense quantities of the detritus to other places. 
 
 These shales form a ridge of highlands, extending from this county, through 
 Oswego, Lewis, Oneida, and Herkimer counties, being known in Lewis as 
 Tug Hill. The margin of this elevated tract is worn into deep ravines, but 
 when the head of these is reached the country becomes level and sometimes 
 swampy. 
 
 The limestone occurs in terraces, with steep but not precipitous margins,, 
 the whole of which is covered with a soil derived from its own decomposition' 
 where not protected by drift. The soil is inclined to be thin, and conse- 
 quently liable to be affected with drouth, but is extremely fertile, and alike 
 adapted to grass and grain. The richest and best portions of Jefferson 
 County, if not in the state, are underlaid by this rock. Running streams, 
 when small, do not wear ravines, but fall down the slope of the terraces in 
 pretty cascades, broken into foam, and noisy from the numerous points of 
 resistance which they meet. The Burrville cascades, in the southwest border 
 of the town of Rutland, are among the most romantic and picturesque which 
 the county affords. 
 
 The calciferous sandstone presents a flat country, with few valleys, and 
 those but a few feet below the level of the adjacent plains. The rock is 
 covered with a very thin soil, derived from its own decomposition, but one of 
 much richness, from the presence of hme. It seldom descends by a gentle 
 slope into the valleys, but presents & shelving ledge, very peculiar to this rock,, 
 in this section of the state. 
 
 The Potsdam sandstone generally presents a level surface, but more liable 
 to upheavals, and is covered with soil entirely brought from other formations, 
 and varies in quality with sources from which it has been derived. This rock 
 never presents a fertile slope into the valleys, but is bordered with abrupt 
 precipices, at the foot of which are piled huge masses that have tumbled from 
 the face of the ledge. 
 
 The primitive rocks of the county present a constant succession of abrupt, 
 rounded edges, scantily covered in a state of nature with timber, and, when 
 cleared, with a thin soil, with intervening valleys of considerable fertility, that 
 have received their soil from the wash of the hills. The nature and amount 
 of soil varies with the rock, and is abundant and fertile where limestone and 
 feldspar abound as its constituents, but much less so where the chief element 
 is quartz. The fact is observable that the south slope of the hills is more 
 abrupt than the north, as if they had been more upheaved. 
 
 Drift deposits occur promiscuously over rocks of every age, and when oc- 
 curring in hills present that rounded and conical outline often seen in snow- 
 drifts. These deposits may be distinguished from soil underlaid by rock by 
 the endless variety of rounded outline which they present, and are invariably-

 covered by vegetation. Several remarkable valleys occur in the county 
 that must be attributed to causes that have long since ceased to operate. 
 That of Rutland Hollow, parallel with Black River, continues across the towns 
 of Watertown, Hounsfield, and Henderson, by way of Smithville, to the lake, 
 having both its sides covered with Trenton limestone. It is considered by 
 some authorities to be one of the abandoned beds of Black River. Evidences 
 of the drift period are prominent in this valley, the surface of the rock often 
 presenting a polished and grooved appearance, and at no locality is this more 
 wonderfully shown than at the railroad bridge below Watertown village. The 
 grooves are here widened and deepened into troughs, that obliquely cross 
 the bed of the river, having their surfaces poHshed and scratched, showing 
 that the rock was then as firm and unyielding as now. 
 
 MINERAL LOCALITIES. 
 
 Anthracite has been observed in minute quantities in the Trenton lime- 
 stone at Watertown, and also in the Utica slate in the southwestern border 
 of the county. Apatite (phosphate of lime) is found in small crystals near 
 Ox Bow, in massive form on Butterfield Lake, and near Grass Lake in 
 Theresa. Azurite (blue carb. copper) is found on an island in Muskallonge 
 Lake, in Theresa. Cakite (carbonate of lime) occurs at Ox Bow and on the 
 banks of Vrooman Lake. Tufa is found in a few limestone springs, and 
 agaric mineral abounds in the caves on the north side of the river in Water- 
 town. Marl occurs in Pleasant Lake, and satin-spar near Ox Bow, not far 
 from Pulpit Rock. Celestine (sulphate of strontia) is said to occur in Trenton 
 limestone. Chalcodite, a very rare mineral, is frequently obtained at the 
 Sterling iron mine in Antwerp. Chondrodite has also been observed in Ant- 
 werp. Chlorite has been detected in bowlders, but is not common. Copper 
 pyrites has been found in Antwerp, adjacent to Vrooman Lake and near the 
 Ox Bow, and also about three miles from Natural Bridge, in Wilna. Dolo- 
 mite occurs in white limestone. Pearl-spar is found at Ox Bow, coating crys- 
 tals of calcite. Epidote is of frequent occurrence in bowlders of greenstone. 
 It has not been found in its original situation in this county. Feldspar 
 (orthoclase), besides forming a common ingredient in gneiss, often occurs 
 highly crystallized, in Antwerp and Theresa, near Grass Lake, etc. Fluor spar 
 occurs on the east bank of Muskallonge Lake, in Theresa, and is one of the 
 most remarkable localities of this mineral in the state. Graphite (black lead) 
 occurs in minute scales, to a small extent, in the white limestone of Ant- 
 werp. ITeavy-sparis found on Pillar Point, in Brownville, on the shore facing 
 Chaumont Bay and Cherry Island, in a vein of Trenton limestone, and in 
 Antwerp, about a mile east from the Ox Box, in a vein of white limestone. 
 It also occurs in Theresa, on the banks of Muskallonge Lake, and in Adams. 
 
 Hornblende, of the tremolite variety, is found in bowlders of white lime- 
 stone, and occasionally in small quantities in Antwerp and in Wilna, near 
 
JEFFteRSOtJ COUNTY. 
 
 Natural Bridge. Amphibole' (basoltic hornblende) is found in bowlders in 
 crystals, firmly imbedded in trap and greenstone. Dillage is rarely found in 
 bowlders of chloritic slate. Pargasite, in beautiful green crystals, occurs in 
 white limestone at numerous localities near Ox Bow, and in a neighborhood 
 known as New Connecticut, in Antwerp. Amianthos and asbestos are 
 found in minute quantities in bowlders of serpentine. The latter also occurs 
 near Theresa village. Idocrase, in small brown crystals, occurs occasionally 
 ■on the banks of Vrooman Lake, near Ox Bow. It has been found in larger 
 ■crystals in bowlders in Antwerp. Iron pyrites (sulphuret of iron) occurs in 
 Antwerp, Wilna, Theresa, and Alexandria. Labradorite (opalescent feldspar) 
 as occasionally found in bowlders. Limonite, or bog iron, is common in the 
 swamps in Wilna. Ochre occurs in Champion and other towns in small 
 quantities. Magnetite, or magnetic iron ore, has been found in Alexandria. 
 Malachite (green carbonate of copper) is found investing other minerals at 
 Muskallonge Lake, Theresa. Millerite (sulphuret of nickel) occurs at the 
 Sterling iron mine, in Antwerp, in delicate needle-shaped prisms, in cavities 
 of iron ore, associated with spathic iron, chalcodite, and iron pyrites. Mus- 
 covite (mica) occurs rarely in bowlders of granite. 
 
 Phlogopite. — This mica occurs frequently in the white limestone, but not 
 in sufficient quantity or in plaits of a size that give it value. It is found on 
 an island in Mill Seat Lake, in small quantities, and at a few localities near 
 Ox Bow. At Vrooman Lake a highly crystallized variety occurs, in which 
 sharply-defined prisms and groupes of crystals are found in great abundance. 
 Pyroxene is common in our primitive rocks. On Grass Lake, in Theresa, 
 it is found white and crystallized, in groupes. Near Ox Bow it has been 
 found in small quantities, and near Natural Bridge in large black crystals, 
 with sphene, etc. Coccolite occurs in the same vicinity. Quartz, while form- 
 ing the greater portion of primary rock, and almost the sole material of 
 sandstone, is rarely found crystallized. On Butterfield Lake, and at several 
 localities in Antwerp, it is found in crystals. At Natural Bridge chalcedony 
 occurs in nodules in white limestone. Flint is a common associate of the 
 Black River limestone. Agate in small quantities is found in Wilna, near 
 Natural Bridge. Jasper and basanite are very rarely found as pebbles in 
 the drift formations. Scapolite in detached crystals is rarely found, imbed- 
 ded in white limestone, in Antwerp. Adjacent to, and perhaps within, the 
 town of Wilna, near Natural Bridge, the variety Nicttallite, in fused crystals 
 of a pearl gray, color, occurs with pyroxene and sphene. It is sometimes 
 massive and admits of cleavage. Serpentine is of frequent occurrence in 
 nodules, in white limestone, in Antwerp, but it is far less abundant than in 
 St. Lawrence County. It is various shades of green, and its weathered sur- 
 face becomes white. A mmeral allied to this, and named by Prof. Emmons 
 Rensselaerite, but by other authors steatitic pseudomorph, occurs in great 
 abundance in Antwerp and Theresa, where it assumes various colors varying 
 from white, through gray, to black, and a texture from finely granular to

 ■fine-grained variety occurs on Butterfield Lake. 
 
 Specular Iron. — The red oxide of iron constitutes the principal ore of this 
 metal in Antwerp, Philadelphia, and Theresa, and may be said to be the prin- 
 cipal ore of Northern New York. It is invariably associated with brittle, va- 
 riegated mineral, which has been named dysyntribiie, but which recent anal- 
 yses indicate to be a rock of indefinite composition, closely related to agal- 
 matolite, and varying much in its proportions of alumina, magnesia, lime, 
 and the alkalies. In some form or other this mineral is associated with the 
 ■ore in every locaHty where the latter has been noticed in this county, as if it 
 were a necessary associate. Beside this nondescript mineral specular ore is 
 associated with calcite, spathic iron, chalcodite, quartz, Millerite, and, more 
 rarely, heavy-spar. In Theresa this ore was procured during the working of 
 the furnace near Redwood, and has been found on an island in Muskallonge 
 Lake. In the edge of Philadelphia, adjoining Theresa, there occurs a body 
 ■of specular iron ore between the gneiss and Potsdam sandstone. When 
 wrought alone it makes an iron known to founders as cold short, and from its 
 mixture with lime is found to be very useful as a flux in assisting in the 
 reduction of other ores. The mines which have been wrought with most 
 profit in Northern New York are those in the southwest corner of Gouverneur 
 and adjacent in Rossie. In this same range, in Antwerp, a deposit of iron 
 ore was discovered in 1837, and was developed and wrought by George Par- 
 ish. Adjacent to, and forming a part of this, is the Thompson mine. Ster- 
 ling mine, in Antwerp, was discovered in 1836, its location being in the same 
 range and geological relation as the last. There are seven or eight mines in 
 a range, including those in Philadelphia, apparently coeval in age and pro- 
 duced by a common cause. About two miles from Ox Bow, in Antwerp, 
 occurs the Weeks ore bed, once owned by George Parish. 
 
 Sphene (scilecio-calcareous oxide of titanium) is found in white limestone 
 with pargasite, in Antwerp, near Ox Bow, and near Natural Bridge. Spinel, 
 of a pale red color, has been observed in crystals at Vrooman Lake, near 
 Ox Bow, and four miles from that place towards Theresa. Talc occurs in 
 small quantities in bowlders. Tourmaline is occasionally found in gneiss in 
 Antwerp and Theresa. Wad (earthy manganese) has been noticed in 
 swamps in Watertown and elsewhere. Wollastonite (tabular spar) occurs 
 with augite and coccolite at Natural Bridge. Delicate fibrous varieties have 
 been found in bowlders in Wilna. 
 
 THE ICE AGE.* 
 
 It will be seen by an examination of the cut of the stratagraphical geology 
 on another page that the strata of the rocks of various ages, from the azoic to 
 the Hud son River, inclusive, are found in the county ; but of course the cut can-

 not show the fact that the various layers above the archean all thin out before 
 reaching the northern limits of the county. This fact is one that has much 
 significance in a study of the effects of the ice age upon denudation. There 
 are little or no evidences of intense glaciation previous to the tertiary period ; 
 it was not until the quartanary was ushered in that glaciation assumed its 
 grand proportions here. The fact that gneissoidal and granitic rocks are the 
 surface rocks in the northern portions of the county is evidence that the 
 territory was among the earliest portions of the globe to rise above the waters 
 of the primeval ocean without subsequent prolonged subsidence. There are 
 many theories concerning the causes that have produced and ushered in the 
 glacial period, among them the most plausible, changes of level of land sur- 
 face. Visitors to all mountain lands observe snow and ice upon each con- 
 siderable elevation, and perhaps it is sufficient in this connection to cite the 
 fact that glaciation seems to have been one of the finishing processes of world 
 making ; fitting the surface and soil conditions for their capabilities to mam- 
 tain and sustain the higher and more important forms of animal existences. 
 The countries that are the most thickly inhabited are the ones that have been 
 submitted to the most intense glaciation. The scenery of lake and forest, the 
 formation of hills and valleys, have in most instances been sculptured and 
 shaped by glaciation. 
 
 Professor Agassiz was the first to study the glaciation of the Alps; that of 
 Greenland, Alaska, and other countries has since been studied by others. It 
 has been found that exactly a similar wearing away and scoring of the rocks, 
 the transportation of detritus, and other forms of ice action may be observed 
 all over the north part of the continent, and this is now the accepted explana- 
 tion of the same phenomena and conditions here. They can be accounted 
 for in no other rational manner. It has been thought that there has been more 
 than one period of glaciation, but a study of the local conditions seem to 
 reveal but one period here. The section seems have been in the center and 
 track of the most intense denudation. The movement of the ice lobe seems 
 to have begun upon the shores of the Atlantic, perhaps as far north as Green- 
 land, and slowly crept southward year by year, always most intense upon and 
 near the ocean, or other large bodies of water, and to have extended as far 
 south as Central New Jersey, then following an irregular line northwestward 
 to near the east end of Lake Erie, thence southwestward to Cincinnati, Ohio, 
 thence northwestward to Central Iowa, and continuing via Bismarck, Dakota, 
 to an unknown distance over the Saskatchewan. There was at the same time 
 another lobe moving from Alaska on the Pacific, extending as far south as 
 Northern California, and another extending from North to Central Europe 
 upon the Eastern continent. Ice seems a solid and rigid body, but is really a 
 solid with some of the characteristics of a liquid. 
 
 These semi-sohd movements have been most carefully studied and 
 measured in Greenland. It has been found that ice moves over that conti- 
 nent wherever there is a slope of 40 feet to the mile; and in the Alps over a 
 
THE ICE AGE. 25 
 
 iike slope the distance, of 70 feet a day where there was an ice front of not 
 more than a half mile. On steeper slopes and wider fronts the movement is 
 ■several hundred feet a day. The power of ice to tear away and transport 
 rock masses from one place to another seems to lie in the fact of congeala- 
 tion at night, and thawing during the day time. Ice expands in freezing. This 
 is the force that loosens and rends the solid mountains. These detached 
 masses, falling upon the ice, are carried to lower levels, or frozen fast to the 
 bottom ice and carried onward with the mass, scoring and grinding the 
 rocks over which they move with prodigous energy. 
 
 THICKNESS OF THE ICE. 
 
 Glacialists estimate that the lobe of ice upon the shores of the Atlantic, in 
 New England, was over 11,000 feet thick. There has been no careful esti- 
 mate made for the thickness over Northern New York, but it must have been, 
 from like territorial conditions, nearly, or quite, as thick here. The local 
 circumdenudation that has taken place is quite as marked as that of most 
 other localities. There are no high mountains within the region under consid- 
 eration by which to measure the thickness. Dry Hill being the main low 
 range within the county, this has certainly been covered by ice, for there 
 is observed to be an abundance of bowlders and drumlins upon the highest 
 ■summits. Between the cemetery and the hamlet of Burrville may be seen 
 drumlins, lateral and medial moraines, also in the town of Rutland, and all 
 ■over the northern, and western, and central portions of the county. 
 
 GLACIAL STREAMS. 
 
 It was not until the closing scenes of the glacial period, when these great 
 masses of ice were thawing and wasting away, the slow accumulations of 
 many thousands of years, that the system of glacial rivers, seen all over the 
 •county, were formed. The more prominent ones came down from the direc- 
 tion of Carthage, trending southwestward, and emptying into Lake Ontario. 
 What is known as Rutland Hollow, and the swamp in the towns of Rutland, 
 Watertown, and Hounsfield, was one of these old glacial river beds, dividing 
 just east of the city of Watertown. One branch flowed along its bed through 
 the cemetery, the other through the fair ground, thus making the site of 
 Watertown an island at that time. Where it crosses the present river, near 
 the new engine works, deep striae may be seen in the heavy bedded birds-eye 
 limestone. Later on, and nearer the close of glaciation, this channel in Rut- 
 land was filled or dammed with ice, and a lower one, the same as the one 
 now occupied by the present river, formed. The old geologists, before gla- 
 ciation was much studied, believed that the present river channel, from Water- 
 town to Dexter, is later and denuded by causes now in action ; but the 
 tetter explanation seems to be that the present river bed is the old channel

 of preglacial erosion, temporarily dammed with ice during the glacial period,, 
 and that, upon the ice thawing, the present channel was again reoccupied. 
 It is readily observed and apparent that while the ice sheet overlaid the whole 
 country all previously existing streams became filled and dammed with ice,, 
 and new ones established, flowing southward, or, as in the case here, more 
 to the westward. 
 
 The St. Lawrence was turned back upon itself; the waters of Lake On- 
 tario forced to find an outlet into the Hudson through the channel of the 
 Mohawk ; then the channel of the Mohawk was dammed with ice, and the 
 whole watershed reversed and turned westward into the Ohio and the Wabash. 
 The old shores of Lake Ontario, 200 feet above their present level, may be 
 seen in many places and upon different levels as the successive channels- 
 were closed and opened. The theory of a molten condition of the earth's 
 center obtains some confirmation from these old lake shores occupying ele- 
 vations. They suggest that the vast masses of ice temporarily depressed the 
 portions of the earth that they covered. 
 
 Local conditions to some extent determined the directions of the streams 
 and rivers. The Adirondack Mountains, being a center of local glaciation, 
 forced all outflows of water and ice in southwesterly direction. The glacial" 
 scratches, the sculpturing of the hills, and directions of the valleys show this. 
 
 The Potsdam sandstone, the strata of the birds-eye limestone, and that of 
 the. Hudson River group probably extended further north than at present;, 
 but over all the northern and western portions of the county the edges have 
 been denuded and carried away. An examination of the sands that now lie 
 upon the western slopes of the mountains shows them to have been made up- 
 from the calciferous and Potsdam sandstone mainly. These same red sands 
 now fill the bottoms of the channels of the old glacial streams, and they over- 
 lie considerable stretches of the surface of the county. The " pine plains " 
 above Great Bend, once densely covered with pine forest, is made up of this, 
 sand, so little intermixed with sediment and glacial clays, common over 
 most other portions of the territory, that there is no fertility in the soil, it. 
 being almost pure sand. 
 
 The southeastern portions of the county seem not to have been so much 
 disturbed by glaciation. The streams are usually old channels of erosion, 
 and the general face of the country, though deeply scored in places, appears 
 more like unglaciated regions. There was undoubtedly the same covering 
 of ice there, but the land being higher, and a little outside of the center of gla- 
 cial activities, the ice melted more slowly. There is a fine natural expos- 
 ure of the edge of the Utica slate, where it thins out in the bed of Sandy 
 Creek, a short distance from Whitesville, perhaps the only natural thinning, 
 out exposure left in the county readily found. It was this natural thinning 
 out of the strata that presented the opportunity for the great displays of local 
 dynamic energy ; the ice, following the harder gneiss and granite, easily dis- 
 placed the edges of the stratified rocks, until it met the heavy bedded birds-

 Perch Lake and nearly all the other small lakes in the county are what are 
 termed by glacialists kettle holes. They were formed by glacial detritus, being 
 dropped at the lower ends of depressions, and there has not yet time inter- 
 vened for their fiUing up, or the wearing down of their outlets. It is in these 
 respects that the county has been benefitted by glaciation ; but taking the 
 county as a whole there may be doubts of any benefits arising out of former 
 glaciation. In too many places the fine preglacial soils have either been 
 covered up or removed to Central and Southern New York, Pennsylvania, 
 and Ohio, too little time since intervening for the reformation of fertile

 soils by natural causes. Judging by the data we have in the wearing away of 
 streams it is scarcely ten thousand years since glaciers were floating to Lake 
 Ontario from the Adirondack region, past the site of the city of Watertown. 
 
 The heavy bedded clays in the central and western part of the county, under- 
 laid by gravel and bowlders, are true glacial clays, deposited while the lake 
 was at a higher level. In some beds there are intermixtures of blue clay. 
 These have been derived from the denuded Utica slate and Lorraine shale. 
 
 Bowlders of gneiss, hornblende, granite, Labradorite,marble, mica schist, and 
 other minerals from the Laurentian rocks of Canada, and the highlands of 
 the Adirondack, some of them weighing an hundred tons, are common and 
 indiscriminately distributed upon and below the surface in nearly all parts of 
 the county. 
 
 AMOUNT OF RAIN-FALL FOR 44 YEARS. 
 
 Below is a carefully prepared table, by Moses Fames, of the amount of 
 rain-fall in each month of the years from 1846 to and including the year 1889. 
 Of the 44 years there have been 22 years below and 22 years above the 
 average. The yearly average for the 44 years has been 32.88 inches. The 
 total amount for that time was 120.55 feet. Up to 1861 the observations 
 were made in Rutland ; after that date in the city of Watertown. The 
 amounts are expressed in inches and hundredths of inches: —

 FRENCH EXPEDITIONS. 
 
 Although this territory was not actually inhabited at the time it became 
 "known to Europeans, it is not without incident connected with the wars be- 
 tween the French in Canada and Iroquois in New York, who from an early 
 period had been under the influence of the English. Within a very few years 
 from the time of first occupation the French ha^ penetrated far into the 
 interior, explored the great lakes, discovered the Mississippi near its source, 
 and established small posts for the double purpose of securing the fur trade 
 and converting to their religion the natives. The Dutch had conciliated the 
 Iroquois, and their influence had been transferred to the English, who suc- 
 ■ceeded them, which led to a hostile incursion by De Courcelles and De 
 Tracy against the Mohawks in 1665-66, resulting in nothing but the murder 
 of a few aged warriors, who preferred death to' the abandonment of their 
 homes, and in exciting to a greater degree of insolence the Indians, who 
 sometime after fell upon a party of French hunters, killed several, and car- 
 ried others away prisoners. Peace was subsequently gained, during which 
 the French got the permission of the natives to erect a fort at Cataroqui 
 {Kingston), ostensibly to protect the traders and their merchandise. The 
 Jesuits, meanwhile avaiUng themselves of the peace, penetrated the settle-

 ments of the Five Nations, and acquired to some degree an influence with 
 the Onondagas. The Senecas and Cayugas were still jealous of the French, 
 and continued to annoy their trade, which led to a complaint* from De la 
 Barre, governor of Canada, to Governor Dongan, of New York, that these 
 savages had plundered seven canoes, and detained 14 French traders; 
 to which the principal Seneca sachem returned a spirited reply, and Dongan 
 requested the French to keep to their own side of the lake.t This provoked 
 an insolent letter from the French governor, in which he said: — 
 
 * * * " I sent Sieur Bourbon to you to advise you of the vengeance I was about to wreak,, 
 for the insult inflicted on the Christian name by the Senecas and Cayugas, and you answer me- 
 about the possessions of lands of which neither you nor I are judges, but our two Kings who- 
 have sent us, and of which there is no question at present, having no thought of conquering 
 countries, but of making the Christian name and the French people to be respected, and in 
 which I will spill the last drop of my blood. I have great esteem for your person, and consid- 
 erable desire to preserve the honor of his Brittanick Majesty's good graces, as well as those of 
 my Lord the Duke of York; and I even believe that they will greatly appreciate my chastise- . 
 ment of those who insult you and capture you every day, as they have done this winter ia 
 Merilande. But if I was so unfortunate as that you desire to protect robbers, assassins, andi 
 traitors, I could not distinguish their protector from themselves. I pray you, then, to attach 
 faith to the credit which I give Sieur de Salvaye to explain everything to yon; and, if the 
 Senecas and Cayugas wish your services as their intercessor to take security from them, not 
 in the Indian, but in the European fashion, without which and the honor of hearing from you, 
 I shall attack them towards the 20th of the month of August, New Stile." X 
 
 A plan of operations had been previously arranged under the direction of 
 the home government, and a negotiation with the governor of New York 
 could have no other object than to keep inactive the English forces by pro- 
 fessions of amity, and a declaration that they were only at war with traitors 
 and robbers, common enemies of mankind. Preliminaries being settled De 
 la Barre, in June, 1684, sent five or six picked soldiers, and as many mechan- 
 ics, to Fort Frontenac, to repair that post, and on the 9th of July left Quebec, 
 in three divisions, at the head of 300 militia, which was increased to 550 at 
 Montreal. The regulars and Indian allies made the entire army about 2,000 
 men, a very powerful army for that time. From the difficulty of procuring 
 boats and provisions, the obstruction of the rapids, and the prevalence of 
 southwest winds the army was delayed till past the middle of August in ar- 
 riving at Frontenac. Meanwhile, through the influence of Lamberville, a 
 Jesuit, at Onondaga, that village had become anxious tiiat the difficulties 
 might be settled by mediation, a course to which De la Barre was the more 
 inclined from the shortness of provisions with which he was threatened. He 
 had crossed with his army to La Famine, a point favorable for hunting and 
 fishing, 24 leagues from Onondaga, to await the result of negotiations. 
 Here, exposed to the sultry heats of August, and scantily supplied with pro-

 visions, most of his men were attacked with intermittent fevers, which as- 
 sumed a malignant type, and destroyed numbers, while it incapacitated the 
 remainder from hostile operations. Being thus situated he hastily dispatched 
 a Christian savage to La Moine, at Onondaga, to have him hasten the depart- 
 ure of those whom the Iroquois had agreed to send to treat with the French 
 governor. This was done with promptness, and on the 3d of September 
 nine deputies from Onondaga, three from Oneida, and two from Cayuga 
 arrived from La Moine, and were courteously received by the governor, who- 
 deferred the business of the embassy till the morrow. The Senecas, against 
 whom the vengeance of the French was to have been directed, did not con- 
 descend to sen(J representatives to the treaty, and returned an insolent 
 answer to the invitation. They had been privately assured of assistance from 
 Dongan, the English governor, in case they were attacked. The inclination 
 for peace, which the Onondagas, Oneidas, and Cayugas evinced, may be 
 ascribed to the ascendency which the Jesuits residing among them had 
 acquired. Upon the convening of the council De la Barre with his 
 officers formed a semi-circle on one side, while Garangula, the Onondaga 
 orator, with the warriors that accompanied hira, completed the circle on the 
 other. The French governor made an address to the Indians, in which he 
 accused the several tribes of the Five Nations, and especially the Senecas, 
 who had no representatives in the council, of interfering with the trade with 
 the Ilhnois and Umamies, and other Indian nations, with whom the French 
 were on friendly terms, and demanded satisfaction and a discontinuance of 
 hostiHties, and warned them that the consequences of a refusal to comply with 
 his demand would be a declaration of war. Garangula, in replying to this, 
 assured the governor that the Five Nations feared not the result of a war 
 with the French, and declared that they had plundered none of the French 
 but those that carried guns, powder, and balls to their enemies, the Twigh- 
 twies and Chictagicks. He also assured De la Barre that he understood the 
 object of his journey to the Iroquois country "was to knock them on the 
 head, if sickness had not weakened the arms of the French." On the 6th of 
 September De la Barre hastily took his departure, having had all the sick 
 embarked the day before (so as not to be seen by the Indians), to the num- 
 ber of 150 canoes and 12 flat bateaux, and on the evening of the same day- 
 arrived at Fort Frontenac, where he found that no of the number left there 
 had departed, sick, for Montreal, whither the governor followed the next day. 
 The Marquis de Denonville succeeded De la Barre the next year, and 
 brought from France forces thought sufficient for the reduction of the Sene- 
 cas, which was undertaken two years after, with a large force,* but without 
 success, further than ravaging their country with fire, and destroying a few 
 aged and defenseless men and women. On July 26, 1688, the Iroquois, to

 the number of 1,200, invaded the island of Montreal without notice, and 
 destroyed more than 1,000 French, besides carrying away great numbers of 
 prisoners for torture. In these and other expeditions this territory must have 
 been the scene of many events of tragic interest, but the history of the de- 
 tails has not come down to us. 
 
 During the French and English war, which in 1760 resulted in the com- 
 plete subjection of the former, the frontier again became alive with military 
 operations, and the principal route between Canada and the Mohawk settle- 
 ments passed through this county. On Six Town Point, in the town of 
 Henderson, a small stockade was erected during this period. Between the 
 bastions, at each angle, the sides were but 48 feet, and the whole affair was 
 of slight aad transient character. In a work entitled Memoires sur le Can- 
 ada there is mentioned the occupation of a post at the mouth of Sandy 
 Creek, of which no trace remains. The most interesting relic of the olden 
 time within the county are the ruins of Fort Carleton, on Carleton Island, 
 which is described in connection with the sketch of Cape Vincent, page 311. 
 
 LAND TITLES.* 
 
 From time immemorial, down to a few years after the close of the Revo- 
 lution, the title of lands in this section of the state was shared in doubtful 
 supremacy by savages and other denizens of the forests. At the earliest 
 period of authentic history the Iroquois confederacy, and the Oneida nation 
 in particular, were acknowledged to be the owners of the greater portion of 
 our territory ; which, according to Gautinonty, a chief of the Oswegatchie 
 tribe, extended as far north as a line running from the mouth of French 
 Creek to Split Rock, on Lake Champlain ; while the Oswegatchies claimed 
 the land north, as far down the St. Lawrence as Cat Island (Louisville), where 
 a monument had been erected by Sir John Johnson.f The Oneidas, accord- 
 ing to a map and survey by Arent Marselis, at the request of John Duncan, 
 and by order of the surveyor-general, claimed " from the ' Line of Property ' 
 reversed, and continued from the Canada Creek, till it comes to a certain 
 mountain called Esoiade, or the Ice mountain, that Canada Creek, opposite 
 to the old Fort Hendrick, heads ; from thence running westerly to an old fort 
 which stood on the creek, called Weteringhra Guentere, and which empties 
 into the River St. Lawrence, about 12 miles below Carleton, or Buck Island, 
 and which fort the Oneidas took from their enemies a long time ago ; from 
 thence running southerly to a rift upon the Onondaga River called Ogoute-

 nagea, or Aguegonteneayea (a place remarkable for eels), about five miles from 
 where the river empties out of the Oneyda Lake." * 
 
 Marselis was doubtless the first surveyor in the county, and there is pre- 
 served a traverse of Hungry Bay made by him, in September, 1789, which 
 began "at a monument, or red painted post, setup by the Indians, as a di- 
 vision line between the Onendago and Oneida nation " ; from which it would 
 seem that the former claimed some right on the eastern shore of Lake On- 
 tario. To extinguish these claims a treaty was held at Fort Stanwix, Octo- 
 ber 22, 1784, with the Six Nations, by which all the country east of a 
 line drawn from Johnson's landing place on Lake Ontario, and keeping four 
 miles east of the carrying-path between that lake and Lake Erie, to the 
 mouth of Tehoseroron, or Buffalo Creek, and thence south to the north line 
 of Pennsylvania, and down the Ohio, was ceded to the United States. The 
 Oneidas were represented at this treaty by two chiefs. This tribe, by a defi- 
 nite treaty held in September, 1788, conveyed the greater part of their lands 
 to the state, by an instrument, the original of which is preserved in the sec- 
 retary's office ; it is on a sheet of parchment about two feet square, with 35 
 seals of the parties, and appended to it is a string of wampum, made of six 
 rows of cylindrical white and blue beads, strung upon deer skin cords. This 
 belt is about two inches wide and nearly two feet long. To this treaty, or 
 deed, was attached the names of the following Indians, those marked with a * 
 being women: Odaghseghte, Kanaghweaga, Peter Utsiquette, Toyohagwe- 
 anda, Shonoughlego, alias Anthony, Thaghniyongo, Tekeandyahkon, Olseto- 
 gou, Oneyanha, alias Beech Tree, Thaghtaghguisea, Gaghsaweda, Thougwe- 
 aghshale, Ojistalale, alias Hanquarry, Thaghneghtohs, alias Hendrick, Kan- 
 aghsalilgh, Thaghsweangalolis, alias Paulus, Agwelentongwas, alias Domine 
 Peter, Kahiektotan, Teyoughnihalk, Konwagalot*, Jonegh Fiishea, alias 
 Daniel, Alawistonis, alias Blacksmith, Sagoyontha, Kaskonghguea, Kanaw- 
 galet*, Thaniyeandagayon, Keanyoko, alias David, Hannah Sodolk*, Honon- 
 wayele* The commissioners authorized to treat with the Indians, and whose 
 names were also attached to the document, in addition to that of Governor 
 George Clinton, were Richard Varick, Peter Gansevoort, Jr., William Floyd, 
 Samuel Jones, Ezra L. Hommedieu, and Egbert Benson. 
 
 At a treaty held at Kon-on-daigua, N. Y., November 11,1794, the United 
 States confirmed this treaty with the Oneidas. 
 
 The office of land commissioners was created in 1786, and they were 
 clothed with discretionary powers in selling the unappropriated lands of the 
 state. The manner in which they exercised this trust has been made the 
 subject of severe censure. June 22, 1791, Alexander Macomb, of New York 
 city, acting as land agent of a company said to consist of himself, Daniel 
 McCormick, and William Constable, all of New York, applied for the pur-

 chase of a tract of land since known as Macomb's Purchase,* embracing the 
 greater part of Franklin, the whole of St. Lawrence, excepting the " ten 
 towns " and Massena, the whole of Jefferson (excepting Penet's Square and 
 Tibbets's Point), the whole of Lewis, and a part of Oswego counties. This 
 proposition included the islands in Lake Ontario and the Si. Lawrence, front- 
 ing the tract, and excepted five per cent, for roads, and all lakes of a greater 
 area than i ,000 acres. The proposed price was eight pence per acre. One-sixth 
 part was payable in one year, and the residue in five equal annual install- 
 ments. If one-sixth were secured by satisfactory bonds, and paid, and an- 
 other sixth in like manner secured, Macomb was to receive a patent for a 
 sixth part, in a square, in one of the corners of the tract, and the same rule 
 •was to be observed throughout, until the whole was paid. Carleton or Buck 
 Island and the Long Sault Island were expressly reserved to the state. This 
 proposition was accepted, and the surveyor general was directed to survey the 
 tract at the expense of Macomb. January 10, 1792, he reported that the 
 conditions had been complied with, and on that day a patent f was issued to 
 Macomb, for 1,920,000 acres, reserving 800 acres to be located by the surveyor- 
 general. f This included the whole of the tract not in the present counties 
 of Franklin and St. Lawrence, an uncertaincy existing in relation to the 
 islands in the St. Lawrence ; these were patented after the national boun- 
 dary had been determined, and to other parties. The reservation stipulated 
 to Penet was confirmed by the following proceedings of the land commis- 
 sioners: — 
 
 " At a meeting of the commisBioners of the land office of the state of New York, held at 
 the secretary's office in the city of New York, on Saturday, the 8th day of Atigust, 1789. Pres- 
 ent, His Excellency. George Clinton, Esq., governor; Lewis A. Scott, Esq., secretary; Eichard 
 Yarick, Esq., attorney-general; and Gerardus Bancker, treasurer. 
 
 " Resolved, That the surveyor-general be directed to lay out for Peter Penet, at his ex- 
 pense, the lands ceded by the Oneida Nation to the people of this state, by their deed of 
 cession dated the 22d day of September last, lying to the northward of Oneida Lake, a tract of 
 10 miles square, wherever he shall elect the same, and further, that he lay out for John Erancis 
 Pearche, and at his expense, a tract of land stipulated by the said deed of cession to be granted 
 -to him," etc., referring to a tract two miles square in Oneida County. § 
 
 On the 19th of November, 1789, the following action was taken : — 
 
 " The surveyor-general, agreeable to an order of this board, of the 8th of August last, hav- 
 ing made a return of survey of Peter Penet, of a tract of 10 miles square, as elected by John 
 Duncan, his agent, (of the lands ceded by the Oneida Nation of Indians to the people of this

 chase. It embraced but 600 acres, as surveyed by John Campbell in the fall of 1799.

 state by their deed of cession, dated the 22d day of September, 1788,) lying to the northward 
 of Oneida Lake, as by the said return of survey filed in the secretary's office will more fully 
 appear. And the said John Duncan, having, as agent aforesaid, made application to the 
 board for letters patent for the same, 
 
 " Besolved, Therefore, that the secretary do prepare letters patent to the said Peter Penet, 
 for the said tract of 10 miles square, accordingly, and lay them before the board for their ap- 
 probation." * 
 
 Peter Penet, by an instrument dated January 23, i789,f made John Dun- 
 can his attorney, and the latter received, November ig, 1789, a patent J for 
 a tract 10 miles square, which, on the 13th of July, 1790, he conveyed § for 
 the nominal sum of five shillings to James Watson and James Greenleaf, of 
 New York. February 26, 1795, Watson released || to Greenleaf his half of 
 Ihe tract for ^i,ooo, the latter having, September 4, 1797, conveyed by deed 
 the 64,000 acres to Simon DesjardinesH for _;£'i9,4oo. 
 
 Desjardines conveyed to Nicholas Olive, of New York, January 29, 1796,** 
 And the latter to Herman Le Roy, William Bayard, and James McEvers 
 44,000 acres of this tract, t f i" trust as joint tenants for certain heirs, of 
 •whom Mallet Prevost was entitled to 8,000 acres; John Lewis Grenus to 
 12,000 acres; Henry Finguerlin, Jr., 8,000 acres. At the time of this con- 
 veyance Olive held these lands in trust, and 16,000 acres in his own right. 
 A deed of partition between the proprietors was executed May 17, i8o2,Jf 
 according to a division by ballot, as follows : N. Ohve, 16,000; J. L. Grenus, 
 1,200 ; H. Finguerlin, Jr., 8,000; A. M. Prevost, 8,000 acres, making 44,000 
 Acres, which, with 8,000 to Louis Le Guen, and 12,000 to John Wilkes pre- 
 viously conveyed by Olive, § § made 64,000 on the whole tract. After the 
 .deed of partition, and on the nth of June, 1802, the proprietors released to 
 one another the quantity allotted to each, as follows : John Wilkes and 
 Louis Le Guen, to Le Roy, Bayard, and McEvers, of 44,000 acres ; L. B. 
 -& M. and Louis Le Guen, to John Wilkes, of 12,000; and L. B. & M. 
 and J. Wilkes, to L. Le Guen, of 8,000 acres. || || 
 
 Nicholas Olive, in his will, made his wife and Henry Cheriothis executors, 
 and his widow afterwards married Simon Louis Pierre, Marquis de Cubieres, 
 -of Paris, who with his wife did, May 9, 1818, appoint L. B. & M. to convey 
 to Prevost, Grenus, and Finguerlin their several shares. The latter. May

 conveyances Mr. La Farge became the owner of the greater part of Penet's 
 Square ; but he allowed the lands to be sold for taxes, and his claims were 
 subsequently confirmed by a comptroller's deed from William L. Marcy, May; 
 13, 1828. 
 
 On November 23, 1819, Francis Depau bought 15 lots (21 to 25, 41 to 45,. 
 56 to 60) for $12,000,1' excepting parts sold to Samuel Ruggles. In our 
 account of Orleans will be given a detail of the irregularities growing out of 
 occupation without title, and the conflicting claims which continued many 
 years and produced much difficulty. 
 
 The whole of Macomb's contract was estimated to contain, after deduct- 
 ing five per cent., 3,670,715 acres, and was divided into five tracts. Tract 
 No. I contained 821,819 acres. No. 2 embraced 553,020 acres, or the present 
 towns of Parishville, Colton, Hopkinton, Lawrence, Brasher, and a small 
 part of Massena in St. Lawrence County. No. 3 the remainder of St. Law- 
 rence County south and west of the "ten towns," or 458,222 acres. No. 4 
 contained 450,950 acres in Jefferson County, it being, with the exception of 
 Penet's Square and Tibbets's Point, all of that country north of a line drawn 
 from the southwest corner of St. Lawrence County, north 87° west to Lake 
 Ontario. No. 5 (26,250 acres) and No. 6 (74,400 acres) formed the rest of 
 the purchase ; the division line between which numbers was never surveyed. 
 Soon after perfectmg his title to a portion of this tract Macomb employed 
 William Constable (who is said to have been, with Daniel McCormick, the 
 principal proprietor) as his agent to sell the lands in Europe ; and June 6, 
 1792, he released, and October 3, 1792, conveyed to him the whole of tracts 
 4, 5, and 6, for ;£5o,ooo.** Macomb had become involved in speculations, 
 by which he lost his property, and was lodged in jail ; f t and his name does

 in Detroit, afterwards became a merchant and capitalist in New York, and 
 was the father of General Macomb of the War of 1812. 
 
 The first direct measure taken for the actual settlement of the section of 
 the state embraced in Jefferson County was in 1792. August 31 William 
 Constable, then in Europe, executed a deed to Peter Chassanis, of Paris, for 
 630,000 acres south of great lot No. 4, which now constitutes a part of Jef- 
 ferson and Lewis Counties. A tract in Leyden, previously conveyed to 
 Patrick Colquhoun and William Inman, was excepted. Chassanis acted as 
 the " agent for the associated purchasers of land in Montgomery County," 
 and the lands were to be by him held in trust for the use of the said William 
 Constable, and disposed of by sections of 100 acres each, at the rate of eight 
 livres Tournois* per acre; in which said conveyance it is declared that the 
 said Chassanis should account for the proceeds of the sales to Constable, 
 according to the terms of an agreement between them, excepting one-tenth 
 thereof. The state reservation for roads, etc., were stipulated. A deed for 
 625,000 acres having been made from Constable to Chassanis, and delivered 
 as an escrow to Ren6 Lambot, to take effect on the payment of ;^5 2,000, it 
 was agreed that the price for this land should be one shilling per acre. Con- 
 stable bound himself to procure a perfect title to be authenticated and 
 deposited with the Consul General of France, in Philadelphia ; and Chassa- 
 nis agreed that the moneys received by Lambot should be remitted to Ran- 
 som, Moreland, and Hammersley, in London, as received, subject to 
 Constable's order, on presentmg the certificate of Charles Texier, consul, of 
 his having procured a clear title. If the sales shall not have amounted to 
 £(>2,']^o the balance should be paid in six, nine, and twelve months, in bills 
 upon London. Constable granted, for one month, the right of prf emption 
 to tract No. 4, at the rate of one shiUing sterling, payable in three, six, and 
 nine months from the date of the deed, as above. The plan of association 
 contemplated by this company is minutely set forth in an extensive docu- 
 ment,! the execution of which was probably prevented by the French revo- 
 lution which soon followed. 
 
 The agreement of Constable and Chassanis, of August 31, 1792, was can- 
 celed, and the tract reconveyed March 25, 1793, in consequence of the 
 amount falling short, upon survey, far beyond the expectation of all parties. 
 On April 12, 1793, Constable conveyed 210,000 acres, by deed, for ;^25,ooo, 
 to Chassanis, { since known as the Chassanis Tract, Castorland, or The 
 French Company's Land, bounded north by No. 4 of Macomb's Purchase, 
 south and west by Black River, and east by a line running north, nine miles, 
 from a point near the High Falls, and thence northeasterly on such a course 
 as might include 210,000 acres. 
 
 April ri, 1797, Chassanis appointed Rodolph Tillier his attorney "to

 direct and administer the properties and affairs concerning Castorland," etc., 
 and in case of his death Nicholas Olive was to succeed him. February 18, 
 1797, a new agreement was made between Constable and Tillier, conveying 
 the Castorland tract to Chassanis, after the survey of William Cockburn & 
 Son, of Poughkeepsie, in 1799, and giving with greater detail the bounds of 
 the tract. The former conveyances made the north and east bank of the 
 river the boundary, but in this the center of the channel was agreed upon. On 
 March 6, 1800, Constable deeded to Chassanis, for one dollar, a tract of 
 30,000 acres in the eastern corner of tract No. 4, which was afterwards sub- 
 divided into 27 lots and conveyed to James Le Ray. Cockburn 's survey 
 ■divided the purchase into six very unequal tracts, formed by the intersection 
 of the principal lines and the river. The tract was subdivided by Charles C. 
 Brodhead and assistants, in 1794. In dividing the tract the line running 
 north from High Falls ivas assumed as the cardinal line, from which ranges 
 were counted east and west. An east and west line, crossing the other nine 
 miles from the falls, was fixed as a second cardinal, from which ranges were 
 reckoned north and south. The ranges extended from 19 east, 51 west, 27 
 north, and about 9 south ; and the lots included 450 acres each, except those 
 on the margin. These were again subdivided into nine square lots of 50 
 acres each, which were numbered from i to 4,828. This system of numbering 
 has since been observed in designating the location of lands. 
 
 The south line of tract No. 4 was run by John Campbell and others, in 
 August, 1794. At a very early period a settlement was begun by Tillier and 
 others near the High Falls, east of the river, and several families were set- 
 tled. Several extensive sales were made by Chassanis and Tillier to French- 
 men of the better class, who had held property and titles in France before the 
 revolution. Desjardines & Co. bought 3,002 acres on Point Peninsula ; Odier 
 & Bousquet, 1,500 acres on Pillar Point; Nicholas Olive (December 17, 
 1807), a tract of 4,050 acres north of Black River and Bay ; Henry Boutin, 
 1,000 acres around the present village of Carthage; C. C. Brodhead, 400 
 acres in the present tov/n of Wilna; and others. Among these was a con- 
 veyance dated March 31, 1801, of 1,817 half acres in scattered lots to 20 
 or 30 French people, many of them widows of persons who had acquired 
 an interest in the New York Company. May 1, 1798, James Le Ray pur- 
 chased 10,000 acres in Castorland, and February 15, 1801, all his lands not 
 previously sold. Chassanis, in his early sales, had reserved about 600 acres 
 (R. 26, W. 24, and 25 N.), between the present villages of Brownville and 
 Dexter, for the city of Basle. 
 
 March 27, 1800, Tillier was succeeded in the agency by Gouverneur Mor- 
 ris, who appointed Richard Coxe, November 13, 1801, his attorney. Febru- 
 ary s, 1802, Chassanis executed a trust conveyance for $1 to James D. Le 
 Ray of 220,500 acres as surveyed by William Cockburn & Son, and by 
 other instruments for nominal sums.* The lands were mostly sold to actual

 settlers by Mr. Le Ray, as agent or principal. David B. Ogden, G, Morris,* 
 and many others were at an early period concerned in these titles. 
 
 Macomb's tract No. 4 was surveyed by C. C. Brodhead, in 1796, as- 
 sisted by Jonas Smith, Timothy Wheeler, Joshua Northrop, Elias Marvin, 
 John Young, Isaac Le Fever, Jacob Chambers, Elijah Blake, Samuel Tupper, 
 Eliakim Hammond, and Abraham B. Smede, each with a few men as as- 
 sistants, and the whole having a general camp or rendezvous at Hungry Bay, 
 on the north side of Pillar Point, at a place called Peck's Cove, near where 
 the Chassanis line crosses the bay. The early settlers here found huts stand- 
 ing, and the remains of an old oven were visible for many years thereafter. 
 The journals of these surveyors show that they suffered much from sickness 
 Some of their supplies were derived from Canada, but the most from the Mo- 
 hawk settlements. A few troops were stationed on Carleton Island, and 
 thither some of their sick were sent. This tract, excepting the east corner 
 conveyed to Chassanis, was divided into 1,000 lots of 440 acres each (ex- 
 cepting those around the border), which were numbered continuously. Evert 
 Van Allen had been employed, in 1795, in surveying the boundaries of tract 
 No. 4. 
 
 A proposition was entertained from Lord Poultney, in 1792, for the pur- 
 chase of a million of acres of Black River land, at a quarter of a dollar per 
 acre, of which ;^5,ooo were to be paid down, _;^20,ooo in one, and the same 
 in two years, and the remainder as soon as the surveys were made. Con- 
 stable was to guaranty against claims from the native Indians, and all other 
 parties, and to give immediate possession. The location was to be deter- 
 mined by Col. William Stephens Smith, of New York. This bargain failed, 
 and Poultney afterwards became largely concerned in lands in the Genesee 
 country. October 3, 1792, Jane, the wife of A. Macomb, released her right 
 to the lands previously conveyed. On April 12, 1793, Constable sold in 
 London, with the consent of Chassanis, who had previously held a preemp- 
 tion claim, to Charles Michael De Wolf, of the city of Antwerp, tract No. 4, 
 for 300,000 florins, money of exchange,t and in June following, of the same 
 year, De Wolf succeeded in negotiating his purchase at a great advance, viz., 
 for 68o,oco florins, to a company of large and small capitalists, of the city of 
 Antwerp, who subscribed to the stock in shares of i.coo florins each, and 
 organized under the name of the Antwerp Company. The stock was divided 
 into 680 shares. Like most other operations of foreigners in a distant coun- 
 try this company eventually proved unsuccessful, and a loss to the stock- 
 holders. Gouverneur Morris became their first agent in America, and on 
 January 2, 1800, a deed of half the tract, or 220,000 acres,:j: passed to him 
 from Constable, on account of the company, for $48,889, and on the day fol-

 lowing the other half, of equal extent, for $46,315.12 to James Donatien 
 Le Ray de Chaumont. Tract No. 4 was found by Van Allen's survey to con- 
 tain 450,000 acres, including the state reservations. A former deed from 
 Constable to De Wolf was canceled upon the new one being made. 
 
 The division line between Morris's and LeRay's conveyances commenced at 
 the northeast corner of Penet's Square, and run on a Hne, parallel with the county 
 line, to the south line of No. 4. Morris took all northeast of this, and Le Ray 
 the remainder. August 15, 1802, a new division line was agreed upon, com- 
 mencing near the southeast corner of Penet's Square, running thence to the 
 south corner of lot 512, thence to the west corner of the present corner of 
 Antwerp, and along the southwest Hne of that town to the south corner of 
 lot 337, and thence to the south line of No. 4. A tract of 30,000 acres in 
 the east corner of No. 4 was not included in these conveyances, having been 
 sold to Chassanis. In 1809 Morris retired from the business, his expenses 
 and commissions absorbing 26,840 acres of land. December 23, 1804, he 
 had sold for $62,000, to Lewis R. Morris, 49,280 acres in the present town 
 of Antwerp.* Mr. Morris subsequently conveyed 41 lots to Silvius Hoard 
 in the western part of Antwerp, f adjoining Theresa, and since known as the 
 Cooper tract. Abraham Cooper, from Trenton, N. Y., became interested 
 in this tract in 181 7. { The remainder of Antwerp, excepting three ranges 
 of lots on the southeast side, was purchased of Morris by David Parish, in 
 180S. The tract amounted to 29,033 acres, and was settled under agents of 
 the Parish estate. Moss Kent succeeded as agent of the Antwerp Company, 
 and June 15, 1809, the remainder of their unsold lands, 143,440 acres, were 
 conveyed to him. He was soon succeeded by Mr. Le Ray, and September 
 17, 18 10, the company sold to him for 145,000 florins, money of exchange, 
 all their interests in lands in America. The lands with Moss Kent were 
 reconveyed to Le Ray, June 24, i8i7,§ except 3,250 acres sold to William 
 H. Harrison and T. L. Ogden, in Lewis County, December 16, 181 1. 
 
 Mr. Le Ray is said to have been the owner of 126 shares in the Antwerp 
 Company, and G. Morris of 26. The former having acquired a title to No. 4, 
 and the Chassanis tract, removed to Le Raysville, where he opened a land 
 office and proceeded to sell land to actual settlers, to a very large extent. 
 He also effected with several Europeans sales of considerable tracts, among 
 which were to Louis Augustin De Caulincourt, due de Vincence, October 8, 
 1805, a tract of 4,840 acres near Milieu's Bay, being 1 1 lots which were con- 
 veyed January 28, 1825, to Peter Francis Real, known as Count Real, chief 
 of police under Napoleon ; to Emanuel Count De Grouchy, to General 
 Desfurneaux, and to others, considerable tracts. Several citizens of New 
 York became afterwards concerned in these tracts, on their own account, or

 as agents, and extensive conveyances were made; but as many of these were 
 trusts not expressed, and referred to considerations not explained in the 
 instruments of conveyance, or on record, an intelligent history of them can- 
 not be at this time obtained, with sufificient conciseness for publication, 
 should they be deemed of sufficient general interest. Among the lands con- 
 veyed were the following : — 
 
 To William and Gerarclua Post, June '3, 1825, for $17,000, 11,800 acres (with 3,503 acres 
 •excepted) in the present towns of Wilna and Diana; 6,500 acres were conveyed by one, and the 
 executors of the other of these, to T. S. Hammond, of Carthage, October 2, 1837, by two deeds, 
 for $18,000. To Herman LeEoy and William Bayard, for ®50,000, February 9, 1820, the interest 
 of J. Le Eay in numerous contracts to settlers on great tract No. 4. To Francis Depau for 
 $23,280, and $15,000, by two conveyances, a large tract in Alexandria, adjoining St. Lawrence 
 ■County. To Cornelia Juhel, October 9, 1821, numerous lots, and to many others. 
 
 In 1 8 18 Joseph Bonaparte, who in the United States assumed the title of 
 Count de Survilliers,* was induced to enter into a bargain with Le Ray, 
 by which he agreed to receive in trust, with a warranty, the conveyance of 
 150,000 acres of land, including 74,624 acres of the Antwerp Company 
 lands, to be taken in the most remote and unsettled portions, and at the same 
 time Mr. Le Ray received certain diamonds and real estate, the whole rated 
 at $120,000, and to be refunded in 1830, unless he should agree to accept 
 before that time the title of a part of these lands. A trust deed, with cove- 
 nant and warranty, was accordingly passed, December 21, 1818, to Peter S. 
 Duponceau, the confidential agent of the Count, for 150,260 acres, with the 
 exception of such tracts not exceeding 32,260 acres, as might have been con- 
 veyed or contracted to actual settlers. This deed included the greater part 
 of Diana, two tiers of lots from the southeast side of Antwerp, the whole of 
 Wilna and Philadelphia, a small piece south of Black River, where it makes 
 a node across the Chassanis line into No. 4, a tract of four lots wide and 
 seven long from Le Ray, and nine lots from the easterly range in Theresa. 
 It was recorded with a defeasance appended, in which it is declared a secu- 
 rity for $120,000 as above stated, and it provided for an auction sale of lands 
 to meet this obligation.! Diamonds having fallen to half their former price 
 the fact was made the subject of complaint; and in 1820 the Count agreed 
 to accept 26,840 acres for the nominal sum of $40,260. These lands lay in 
 the most remote portion of No. 4, and Mr. Le Ray, in a letter to one of the 
 Antwerp Company, dated April 9, 1821, complimented the Count upon his 
 taste in selecting a " tract abounding in picturesque landscapes, whose re- 
 mote and extensive forests, affording retreat to game, would enable him to es- 
 tablish a great hunting ground; qualities of soil and fitness for settlers were 
 only secondary considerations. * * * He regrets, notwithstanding, that 
 
 * This personage, who held successively the thrones of Naples and Spain, was born 
 in the island of Corsica, in 1768, being the next older brother of Napoleon I. His resi- 
 dence in this country was as an exile, and he returned to Europe as soon as political events 
 permitted.

 thus far he has not been able to find among the 26,000 acres of land a pla- 
 teau of 200 acres of land to build his house upon, but he intends keeping up 
 his researches this summer." The Count subsequently commenced an estab- 
 lishment near the present village of Alpina in Diana, where a small clearing 
 was made, but this was soon abandoned. 
 
 October 29, 1823, Le Ray conveyed to William H. Harrison, in trust for 
 the Antwerp Company, for $50,000, two ranges of lots in Antwerp, next to 
 Lewis County, subject to the mortgage of Duponceau, with a large amount 
 of lands in Lewis County. Meanwhile an act was procured, November 27,. 
 1824, allowing Charles Joseph Xavier Knyff, Charles Joseph Geelhand Dela- 
 faille, Jean Joseph Reinier Osy, Pierre Joseph De Caters, and Jean Joseph 
 Pinson, as trustees of the Antwerp Company, to take and hold lands, and to 
 them Harrison conveyed the above tracts. Duponceau and Bonaparte sub- 
 sequently released a large tract and took a title of 81,180 acres. The his- 
 tory of these transactions may be traced in the recorded conveyances. James 
 Le Ray, December 31, 1823, conveyed to his son Vincent all his lands in 
 Jefferson County, and by a similar conveyance his lands in Lewis County for 
 the benefit of his creditors. 
 
 July 16, 1825, Duponceau executed to Joseph Bonaparte (whOj by an act 
 of March 31, 1825, had been empowered to hold lands) a deed of all the 
 rights he had acquired in the above conveyances. Bonaparte, by an instru- 
 ment dated July 14, 1832, made Joseph Raphineau his attorney to deed 
 lands contracted by Joseph Boyer, his land agent. In June, 1835, he sold 
 to John La Farge, for $80,000, all the interest of Count Survilliers in lands 
 in this and Lewis counties. 
 
 In October, 1824, the Antwerp Company appointed J. N. Rottiers their 
 agent to receive and convey lands, and he was directed, by parties interested 
 in claims, to commence a prosecution against Le Ray, which was done. The 
 extreme depression in the price of land and the total stop of sales which fol- 
 lowed the completion of the Erie Canal, and the opening of the Western states 
 to emigration, operated disastrously to all parties who had based their plans 
 upon expectation of receipts from land sales ; and notwithstanding the es- 
 tates of Mr. Le Ray were both extensive and valuable, he could not at that 
 time encounter the combination of circumstances which bore so heavily upon 
 all land-holders throughout the northern counties, and he found himself com- 
 pelled to apply for the benefit of the insolvent act, and to surrender his es- 
 tates to his son, in trust for his creditors. As a justification of his course he 
 pubhshed, for distribution among his foreign creditors, a. statement in which 
 he vindicated in a satisfactory manner the course he had adopted, and set 
 forth the kind and quantity of property at his disposal to meet his liabilities. 
 He had at that time the following lands in this state : in Franklin County, 
 30,758 acres, valued at $22,500; in St. Lawrence County, 73,947 acres, val- 
 ued at $106,000; in Jefferson County, 143.500 acres, valued at $574,000; 
 in Lewis County, 100,000 acres, valued at $133,000. 
 
LAND TITLES. 43. 
 
 Of his Jefiferson lands one eighth were subject to contracts of settlers, upon 
 which were three grist mills, three saw-mills, and various clearings, with 
 buildings. At Le Raysville were a grist-mill, storehouses, etc., valued at 
 $26,000, and in Pennsylvania, Otsego County, and in France other proper- 
 ties of large amounts. In closing up his business a large amount of land was 
 confirmed to Vincent Le Ray, and the settlement of affairs was so managed 
 as to satisfy in full the claims of American creditors. 
 
 A considerable amount of the Antwerp Company's lands, remaining in 
 scattered parcels, was sold in 1828 by the agent to John La Farge, but this 
 sale was subsequently set aside by the Court of Chancery, and February 15, 
 1836, 24,230 acres, being most of the remaining lands of the company, and 
 situated in Theresa, Antwerp, Alexandria, and Orleans, were sold to Samuel 
 Stocking, of Utica, and Norris M. Woodruff, of Watertown, for $1 per acre. 
 William H. Harrison acted in the latter sale as the agent of the company. 
 
 Mr. La Farge, July 28, 1846, sold to Charles L. Faverger, for $48,513, a 
 tract embracing the two eastern ranges of lots in Antwerp, and 122 lots in 
 Diana, excepting parts previously conveyed, amounting to 48,513 acres. 
 William Constable, December 18, 1792, conveyed to Samuel Ward, for 
 ^100,000, 1,280,000 acres, it being the whole of Macomb's Purchase in Nos. 
 5 and 6, out of which was excepted 25,000 acres sold to William Inman. 
 Samuel Ward, December 20, 1792, conveyed to Thomas Boylston (of Boston), 
 for _;,£'20,ooo, a tract commencing at the extreme southern angle of Lewis 
 County as now bounded, running thence to the mouth of Salmon River, and 
 along the lake to Black River, and up that stream to the north bounds of the 
 present town of Leyden, and thence to the place of beginning. The course 
 of Black River was then supposed to be nearly direct from the High Falls to 
 the lake, and this tract was believed to contain about 400,000 acres, but 
 when surveyed around by William Cockburn & Son, in 1794, it was found to 
 include 817,155 acres ! Ward also sold 210,000 acres to John Julius Anger- 
 stein, a wealthy merchant of London, which the latter afterwards sold to 
 Gov. John Brown, of Providence, R. I., and which has been commonly 
 called Browns tract, and is yet mostly a wilderness. He also sold 50,000 
 acres and 25,000 acres to William Inman, who afterwards figured largely in 
 the titles of Lewis County; with the exception of the 685,000 acres thus 
 conveyed to Boylston, Angerstein, and Inman he reconveyed, February 37, 
 1793, the remainder to Constable. 
 
 On May 21, 1794, Boylston gave a deed of trust of 11 townships to 
 George Lee, George Irving, and Thomas Latham, assignees of Lane, Son & 
 Fraser, of London, and they conveyed them to John Johnson Phyn, of that 
 place (June 2, 1794), in whom, by sundry conveyances and assurances in the 
 law, the title became vested. April to, 1795, Phyn appointed William 
 Constable his attorney to sell and convey any or all of the Boylston tract, 
 who accordingly sold, July 15, 179S, (at $1 per acre, one-quarter paid down 
 and the balance in five installments, with mortgage,) to Nicholas Low, Will-

 iam Henderson, Richard Harrison, and Josiah Ogden Hoffman, a tract of 
 300,000 acres, since known as the Black River tract. This purchase conn- 
 prised Hounsfield, Watertown, Rutland, Champion, Denmark, Henderson, 
 Adams, Rodman, Pinckney, Harrisburg, and Lowville. April i, 1796, 
 Phyn confirmed this title. The tract was found by measurement to contain 
 290,376 acres, to make up which deficiency Constable, in 1796, conveyed 
 town No. 2 (Worth), excepting 948 acres in the southeast corner, which he 
 reserved for himself. On the last mentioned date Phyn conveyed to Con- 
 stable 401,000 acres, being the remainder of the Boylston tract, The pres- 
 ent town of Lorraine is in this conveyance. 
 
 William Constable gave his brother James a power of attorney to sell lands 
 March t6, 1798, and, to secure the confidence of the Europeans, and others, 
 in the validity of his title, he procured from Alexander Hamilton, Richard 
 Harrison, J. O. Hoffman (attorney-general of the state), Daniel McKinnen, 
 and other eminent lawyers a certificate that they had examined his convey- 
 ances and believed them perfect. 
 
 March 22, 1797, Constable conveyed to Marvel Ellis, of Troy, the town 
 of EUisburgh, in accordance with an agreement dated April ir, 1796, except 
 3,000 acres, conveyed March 17, 1797, to Robert Brown and Thomas Eddy, 
 in the southwest corner of the town. This town was long without a resident 
 agent, and from being settled by squatters it acquired the name of No 
 God. In June, 1804, Brown and Eddy sold half of this tract to General 
 Scriba, and the latter to William Bell. The remainder was exchanged for a 
 farm in New Jersey by Lord Bollingbroke. Ellis's purchase, according to 
 Medad Mitchell's survey of August, 1795, ^^^ SI1840 acres, but by a sub- 
 sequent survey of B. Wright it covered 52,834 acres. A part of No. 10 
 (Sandy Creek) was conveyed November 16, 1796, to Mrs. H. M. Colden, 
 for the Earl of Selkirk. Ellis, on the day of his purchase, mortgaged it for 
 the payment, and in i8or he became insolvent. In January, 1802, Con- 
 stable filed a bill in chancery, against Ellis and his creditors, to foreclose" to 
 equity of redemption. May 22, 1803, William Constable died, and his exec- 
 utors, James Constable, John McVickar, and Hezekiah B. Pierrepont, were 
 advised that the title was perfected by the answer to the bill in chancery, but, 
 to put all questions forever at rest, they deemed it advisable to proceed to 
 foreclose. It was accordingly advertised and sold under the direction of 
 Thomas Cooper, master in chancery, at the Tontine Coffee House, New 
 York, March i, 1804, to Daniel McCormick. On March 2 the executors of 
 Constable conveyed the town to McCormick, and on the 3d the latter recon- 
 veyed to the executors. On April 26, 18 19, a deed of release from the heirs 
 of William Constable was executed to H. B. Pierrepont, from whom the title 
 of the unsold portions passed to his son, William C. Pierrepont, who in like 
 manner acquired the title of Lorraine from Constable.

 These proprietors disposed of their towns as follows : No. i was sold, the 
 north half to Henry Champion and Lemuel Storrs, June 30, 1797, and the 
 south part (15,913 acres) to Peter Kemble and Ezra Hounsfield, for $4,000, 
 March 10, 1801, who sold to actual settlers through the agency of Elisha 
 Camp. The sales of the north part will be given in our account of that town. 
 Nos. 2, 7, and 1 1 were sold by S. Stow, M. S. Miller, and I. W. Bostwick, of 
 Lowville, agents for Low. No. 3 was first partly conveyed to actual settlers 
 by Asher Miller and Abel French, when the remaining interest of Henderson 
 was conveyed to Dr. Isaac Bronson, of Greenfield, Conn., who gave its 
 agency to his brother, Ethel Bronson, with whom it continued till death, 
 when it was transferred to George White, who completed the settlements 
 with settlers. No. 4 was sold to Champion and Storrs (with the north half 
 of i), and by N. Hubbard and A. Lathrop, agents, it was sold to settlers. 
 No. 6 began to settle under the same agent as No. 3. In 1806 Jesse Hop- 
 kins was appointed agent, and continued about 15 years. Certain lots, 
 amounting to 5,716 acres, were sold to Isaac Bronson, June 10, 1807, for 
 $10,003.44, and settled by the agents of the latter. No. 8 was settled for 
 the proprietors by I. W. Bostwick, agent at Lowville. Harrison and Hoff- 
 man continued tenants in common of 5, 8, and 10, until May i, 1805. In 
 July, 1809, an instrument was executed securing certain interests of HoflF- 
 man to Thomas L. Ogden and Abijah Hammond, and on January 5, 1810, 
 •Hoffman conveyed to Harrison his interest in these towns. 
 
 The greater part of township 2 (Worth) fell to the share of Harrison and 
 Hoffman. It was laid out by Medad Mitchell in 1795; and December 23, 
 1797, these proprietors made a partition, and Harrison conveyed the north 
 half to Hoffman, who, July 16, 1798, made a conveyance to Daniel McCor- 
 mick and Charles Smith, in trust, to sell and convey and to keep the money 
 until certain debts were paid. Several subsequent transfers were made, which 
 are not deemed of sufficient public interest to trace. The title to the south 
 part remained with Harrison many years. 
 
 The boundaries of the Eleven Towns were surveyed by Benjamin Wright, 
 in April and May, 1796, and the notes from his field book* formed the first 
 accurate data possessed in relation to the country south of Black River. 
 
 The islands in the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario were included in 
 the original contract to Macomb, with the state, of June 22, 1791, but from 
 the uncertainty about the boundary they were not patented till long after. 
 
 * See Hough's History of Jefferson County, p. 64. 
 
46 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 The claim of Macomb passed to Daniel McCormick, and was recognized by 
 the commissioners of the land office January 28, 1814, when they directed 
 the surveyor-general to survey such islands as were clearly within the limits 
 of the state, at the expense of the owner, and a release of damage was to be 
 granted, should the lands so laid out hereafter be included in Canada, upon 
 the running of the boundary. McCormick sold his interest to D. A. and T. L. 
 Ogden, which was also sanctioned by the commissioners, May 14, 181 7. For 
 running the boundary agreed upon by the treaty of Ghent Gen. Peter B. 
 Porter was appointed commissioner and Samuel Hawkins agent for the 
 United States, and John Ogilvie commissioner on the part of Great Britain, 
 who met at St. Regis, and, after carefully ascertaining the line of 45° north 
 latitude, by a series of astronomical observations, proceeded thence in two 
 parties, one to Lake Champlain and the other up the river. In 1818 the lat- 
 ter had reached Ogden's Island, and in 1819 their labors were completed.. 
 Patents were issued for the islands as follows : — 
 
 All the islands in the state, between a line drawn at right angles to the- 
 river, from the village of Morristown, and a meridian drawn through the 
 western point of Grindstone Island, to Elisha Camp, February 15, 1823. 
 These islands contained 15,402.9 acres, of which Grindstone Island contained 
 5,291, Wells or Wellesly Island 8,068, and Indian Hut Island 369 acres, 
 with several smaller ones without names. Patents were also issued to Camp 
 on the same day to Stony Island, 1,536 acres; Calf Island, 34.8 acres; Little 
 Galloe Island, 48.8 acres; the most of Galloe Island, 2,216.2 acres; and 
 Willow Island, half an acre. A patent to the United States, for 30.75 and 
 five acres on Galloe Island, was issued December 11, 1819, and to Melanch- 
 thon T. Woolsey, November 3, 1823, for Gull Island, 6.5 acres, and Snake 
 Island, 1.4 acres. Cherry Island, in Chaumont Bay, 108.4 acres i Grenadier 
 Island, 1,290 acres; and Fox Island, 257.5 acres, were patented to Hezekiah 
 B. Pierrepont and others October i, 1824. Five hundred acres on the west- 
 ern part of Carleton Island weie patented to Charles Smyth, October 2, 1828. 
 A partition deed was executed between Pierrepont, and Joshua Waddington 
 and Thomas L. Ogden, November 10, 1824, by which the former received 
 Grenadier and Cherry islands. They were sold February 19, 1825, for 
 $7,000, to William and Gerardus Post, of New York. These islands had 
 been occupied many years by squatters, who with great reluctance yielded 
 possession. The jurisdiction of a part of Galloe Island was ceded by the 
 legislature to the United States for a lighthouse, by an act of April 21, 1818; 
 that of Tibbets Point (about three acres), January 25, 1827 ; that of Horse 
 Island, April 26, 1831 ; and a part of Carleton Island, June 21, 1853. In 
 these cessions the state retains concurrent civil and criminal jurisdiction.

 BENCH AND BAR OF JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 BY LUTHER J. DORWIN. 
 
 A review of the bench and bar of the county of Jefferson would be incom- 
 plete without a brief history of the courts as existing at the time of its organ- 
 ization, their origin, jurisdiction, their officers, and how they were appointed. 
 
 The tracing back the courts to their origin has required much time and 
 patient investigation, and in the space limited for this article but little more 
 than a brief synopsis of their history can be given. Reference to the source 
 of authority will be given so that the reader whose curiosity may desire the 
 details, and who may be interested in the judicial history of the state, can 
 obtain the desired information. 
 
 The administration of justice in this county at the time of its organization 
 and thereafter was part of the judicial system of the whole state, differing in 
 many essentials from tha.t now in force. It may be stated here 'that the 
 source of information from which the writer has derived most of the facts 
 here related is the account of the Judicial Organization of the State, and of 
 its tribunals, from the time of its settlement by the Dutch in 1623 until the 
 adoption of the state constitution of 1846, written by Hon. Charles P. Daly, 
 one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the city of New York, 
 and published introductory in the first volume of E. D. Smith's report of 
 cases argued and determined in the Court of Common Pleas of the city of 
 New York. 
 
 Courts had existed in the colony of New York prior to T682, but in that 
 year Dongan was appointed governor. In Dongan the power to create courts 
 was vested, as also the power to convene a general representative assembly, 
 and one was convened to whom Dongan left the matter of creating the courts. 
 
 The Assembly met in 1683, and on October 30th of that year passed "The 
 Charter of Liberties and Privileges granted by his Royal Highness to the in- 
 habitants of New York and its dependences," a copy of which is in the 
 appendix No. 2, of 2 Rev. Laws of 18 13. 
 
 They also passed an act dividing the provinces of New York into 12 coun- 
 ties, a copy of which is also in the foregoing appendix, marked No. 3. This 
 was passed and approved November i, 1683. On October 29, 1683, they 
 passed an act to settle courts of justice, a copy of which is in the foregoing 
 appendix, marked No. 4. The courts thus established were in operation to 
 the year 1691. In 1688 Dongan was recalled and Lieutenant-Governor 
 Nicholson acted as governor until the arrival of Governor Stoughton in 
 1691. In the same year he convened a representative assembly, and being 
 under the impression that none of the acts of the General Assembly of 1683 
 and 1684 had been affirmed by James, and were therefore null and void, they 
 passed an act for the general judicial organization of the province. By thi& 
 
48 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 act the present Supreme Court was created; also justices of the peace in 
 the several towns in place of town courts, and created a Court of Common 
 Pleas for each county except New York and Albany ; and' Courts of General 
 Sessions of the Peace for each of the counties, and made the same provision 
 for a Court of Chancery which had been made by the act of 1683. These 
 courts thus organized continued down to the Revolution, and the adoption of 
 the constitution of 1777, without material change. In a note to Judge Daly's 
 article he says: "This act will be found in the first edition of the colonial 
 laws printed by Bradford in 1694, the only perfect copy of which now sup- 
 posed to exist is in the library of a private gentleman in New York. It has 
 also been reprinted in the appendix to 2 Paine & Duer's Practice, 715.'' It 
 is deemed of sufficient importance to reprint it here as an appendix to this 
 article, together with the introductory remarks by Paine and Duer. By this 
 act it was provided that there should be one judge with three justices in each 
 county, appointed and commissioned to hold the same Court of Pleas, three 
 whereof to be a quorum, " and that the several and respective courts hereby 
 established shall have jurisdiction to hear, try, and determine all actions, or 
 causes of actions, and all matters and things and causes tryable at the com- 
 mon law of what nature or kind soever." It also provided that there should 
 be appointed and commissioned for that purpose one clerk of the court to 
 draw, enter, and keep the records, etc.; one marshal, or crier of the court, to 
 call the jurors and proclaim the commands and orders of the court. It also 
 established a Supreme Court of Judicature, and "that there be five justices 
 at least appointed and commissioned to hold the same court, two whereof, 
 together with one chief justice, to be a quorum," which Supreme Court "is 
 hereby fully empowered and authorized to have cognizance of all Pleas, 
 Civil, criminal, and mixt, as fully and amply to all intents and purposes what- 
 soever as the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer within 
 their Majesties Kingdom of England have or ought to have." 
 
 And it was further provided "that all and every of the justices or judges 
 of the several courts thereby established be and thereby were sufficiently 
 empowered to make, order, and establish all such rules and orders for the 
 more orderly practicing and proceeding in the said courts as fully and amply, 
 to all intents and purposes whatsoever, as all or any of the said judges of the 
 several courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer in England 
 legally do." 
 
 By this act a Court of Chancery was estabHshed, and it was provided " that 
 the Governor and Council be the said High Court of Chancery, and have and 
 keep the said court, and that the governor may depute, nominate, and 
 appoint in his stead a Chancellor and be assisted with such other persons of 
 the council as shall by him be thought fit and convenient, together with all 
 necessary officers, clerks, and registers as to the said High Court of Chancery 
 are needful." 
 
 These courts remained practically unchanged and constituted the judicial 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 49. 
 
 tribunals of the state down to the adoption of the first constitution of this 
 state in 1777. This constitution made no change in the organization or 
 jurisdiction of either of these courts. It provided for the appointment of all 
 their officers, — that of chancellor, judges of the Supreme Court, and the first 
 judge of every County Court by the governor, and to hold their offices during 
 good behavior, or until they shall respectively attain the age of 60 years ;. 
 that sheriffs and coroners be thus annually appointed, but no one person to 
 hold either of said offices more than four years successively; that the 
 registers and clerks in chancery be appointed by the chancellor, the clerks of 
 the Supreme Court by the judges of said court ; all attorneys thereafter to 
 be appointed by the court and Hcensed by the first judge of the court in which 
 they shall respectively plead or practice, and be regulated by the rules and 
 orders of the said courts. It further provided that new commissions shall be 
 issued to judges of the county courts (other than to the first judge) and to 
 justices of the peace, one at least in every three years. By this constitution 
 a court for the trial of impeachments and the correction of errors was for the 
 first time established, — familiarly known as the " Court of Errors," — which 
 continued as thus organized until the constitution of 1846. 
 
 The counties of Jefferson and Lewis were organized in one act passed 
 March 28, 1805. In this act were the following provisions, viz.: Sec. 4. 
 " And be it further enacted. That there shall be held in and for the said 
 counties of Jefferson and Lewis, respectively, a Court of Common Pleas and 
 General Sessions of the Peace, and that there shall be two terms of the said 
 courts in each of the counties respectively in every year, to commence and 
 end as follows, that is to say: The first term of the said court in the said 
 county of Jefferson shall begin on the second Tuesday of June in every year, 
 and may continue to be held until the Saturday following, inclusive, and the 
 second term of the said court in the said county of Jefferson shall begin on 
 the second Tuesday in December in every year, and may continue to be held 
 until the Saturday following, inclusive. Similar provisions as to Lewis 
 County. And provided further. That the first of the said courts in each of 
 the said counties should be held on the second Tuesday of December next. 
 Sec. 9. And be it further enacted. That no Circuit Court, or Court of Oyer 
 and Terminer, and General Gaol delivery shall be held in either of the said 
 counties of Jefferson and Lewis until the same shall, in the opinion of the 
 justices of the Supreme Court, become necessary." 
 
 The courts as thus organized continued until the adoption of the second 
 constitution of this state, which took effect January r, 1823. By this consti- 
 tution the Supreme Court consisted of a chief justice and two justices. It 
 further provided that the state be divided by law into a convenient number 
 of circuits, not less than four nor exceeding eight, subject to alteration by 
 the legislature from time to time, as the public good may require ; " for each 
 of which a circuit judge shall be appointed in the same manner and hold his. 
 office by the same tenure as the justices of the Supreme Court, and who shall 
 
so JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 possess the powers of justices of the Supreme Court at chambers, and in the 
 trial of issues joined in the Supreme Court ; and in courts of Oyer and 
 Terminer and gaol delivery and such equity powers may be vested in said 
 circuit judges, or in the county courts, or in such other subordinant courts 
 as the legislature may by law direct, subject to the appellate jurisdiction of 
 the chancellor." It further provided that the judges of county courts should 
 hold their offices for five years. 
 
 Under this constitution an act was passed by the legislature of this state, 
 April 17, 1823, dividing the state into eight circuits, corresponding with the 
 then senatorial districts, and providing for tl»e appointment of judges for Fiid 
 circuits, and defining their powers and jurisdiction. By this act it was further 
 provided that the said circuit judges shall have, within the limits of their re- 
 spective circuits, concurrent jurisdictions with the chancellor of this state of 
 all matters and causes in equity of every description and character, subject, 
 however, in all cases, to the appellate jurisdiction of the chancellor. The 
 courts thus organized remained uncharged down to the constitution of 1846. 
 
 On the nth day of December, 1805, the following persons took and filed 
 their oaths as attorneys before Henry Coffeen, clerk, viz.: Augustus Sacket, 
 Moss Kent, Samuel C. Kannady, Benjamin Skinner, and Egbert Ten Eyck. 
 And on the nth day of June, 1806, Elisha Camp took and filed his oath as 
 such, and on the loth day of December, 1 806, Thomas Y. Howe did the same. 
 Augustus Sacket was appointed first judge of the Common Pleas, and on the 
 2Sth day of March, 1807, he qualified as such by taking and fihng the follow- 
 ing oaths, which, as a specimen of what was required, not only by attorneys, 
 but by all office-holders, are given here, viz.: — 
 
 " I, Augustus Saoliet, do solemnly and sincerely swear and declare that I will support the 
 Constitution of the United States. 
 
 "Augustus Sacket. 
 
 "Taken and subscribed this 25 day of March, 1807, before me, Perlcy Keyes, one of the 
 Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Jefferson." 
 
 "I, Augustus Sacket, do solemnly, without any mental reservation or equivocation what- 
 soever, swear and declare that I renounce and abjure all allegiance and subjection to all and 
 every foreign king, prince, potentate, and state in all matters, ecclesiastical as well as civil, and 
 that I will bear faith and true allegiance to the State of New York as a free and independent 
 State. 
 
 " Augustus Sacket. 
 
 "Taken and subscribed this 25 day of March, 1807, before me, Perley Keyes, one of the 
 Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Jefferson." 
 
 "I, Augustus Sacket, do solemnly swear and declare that I will, to the best of my know- 
 ledge and ability, execute the office of First Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in and for 
 the County of Jefferson, according to the constitution and laws of the State of New York, in 
 defence of the freedom and independence thereof, and for the maintenance of liberty and the 
 ■distribution of Justice among the citizens of the said state without any fear, favor, partiality, 
 affection, or hope of reward. 
 
 " Augustus Sacket. 
 
 " Taken and subscribed this 25 day of March, 1807, before me, Perley Keyes, one of the 
 Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Jefferson." 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 51 
 
 The first term of the County Court, of which there is any record, was held 
 on the second Tuesday of May, 1807, at the school-house next south of 
 Jonathan Cowan's mill, in the town of Watertown. Present, Augustus 
 Sacket, first judge ; Joshua Bealls, Perley Keyes, judges ; Thomas White, 
 assistant justice. 
 
 Samuel Whittlesey was at this time district attorney. The attorneys who 
 appeared in court at this time were Isaac W. Bostwick, Samuel C. Kannady, 
 Benjamin Skinner, Elisha Camp, Samuel Whittlesey, and John Kirkland. 
 As at this time no judgments were entered on default in vacation the record 
 Was a very good indication of the business and standing of attorneys. 
 
 The next term of the court was held at the same place on the second 
 Tuesday of August, 1807, before the same judges. At this term the name 
 of Thomas Y. Howe, Amos Benedict, and Moss Kent appeared as attorneys 
 on the record. At this term of the court the gaol liberties were estab- 
 lished, and also the following order was entered, viz.: — 
 
 "Ordered that the present rules of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New 
 York for the admission of attorneys and counsellors be adopted by this court, except the dis- 
 tinction between attorneys and counsellors, and excepting that attorneys and counsellors from 
 other states shall not be admitted to practice as attorneys or counsellors of this court unless 
 such attorney or attorneys, counsellor or counsellors, shall produce a certificate from a regu- 
 larly practicing attorney of this court of having Berved a regular clerkship for the term of 
 three years in the office of said attorney," 
 
 The records of the court were often imperfectly kept. At some of the 
 terms there is no record of the judges holding the same; and until about the 
 year 1815 there is no record of any order admitting attorneys to practice. 
 Their names have been obtained from their oaths as such, found on file, and, 
 in some instances, from their appearing upon the records in the trial of cases 
 as such attorneys. In the Supreme Court an attorney was required to prac- 
 tice three years before he could be admitted to practice as a counselor. The 
 admission as attorney did not entitle him to try or argue causes in court. But 
 in the Common Pleas the admission as attorney was also an admission to 
 practice as counselor. 
 
 The knowledge of the courts, by whom held, both of the Common Pleas 
 and of the Supreme Court, now possessed by the community, is derived 
 wholly by tradition, and is very indefinite. As much speculation and curi- 
 osity is often manifested as to the same it is deemed proper to give here the 
 terras of the courts, and when and by whom held, both of the Common 
 Pleas and the Supreme Court, from the organization of the county in 1805 
 to the time the constitution of 1846 went into operation; the names of the 
 attorneys admitted during that time; and the various officers of the court, so 
 far as may be gleaned from the records. The acts of the legislature chang- 
 ing the time of holding the terms is not noticed, being essential only as ac- 
 •counting for the variation from the act of organization of the courts.

 tion.

 This brings us down to the circuit courts held under the constitution 
 which took effect January i, 1823. Under this constitution Nathan Will- 
 iams was appointed circuit judge for the fifth judicial district, on April 21, 
 1823, and continued to serve as such until the appointment in his place of 
 Samuel Beardsley, April 19, 1834. It does not appear from the record that 
 he ever officiated as such judge, and is supposed to have resigned or not to 
 have accepted the appointment, for, on May 7, 1834, Hiram Denio was ap- 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 55^ 
 
 pointed such judge in his place. He officiated until April, 1838. Isaac H. 
 Bronson was appointed in the place of Hiram Denio, who resigned on ac- 
 count of ill health. Bronson was then a member of Congress from this 
 district, and whose vote was wanted in Congress to sustain the administration 
 of Martin Van Baren as President ; and for this reason he declined to accept 
 the appointment. In the fall of 1838 he was a candidate for reelection, and 
 was defeated. He was subsequently appointed by Van Buren as judge of the 
 United States Circuit Court of Florida. He left Watertown and thereafter 
 resided in Florida during the remainder of his Hfe. On July 17, 1838, Philo 
 Gridley was appointed circuit judge for this district, and immediately entered 
 upon the duties thereof; and continued to act as such circuit judge and 
 vice-chancellor until July, 1847, when the constitution of 1846 went into 
 effect. 
 
 Nathan Williams, circuit judge, held the June and December circuits in 
 each year, commencing in June, 1823, to the June circuit, 1830. 
 
 In March, 1829, Esek Cowan, circuit judge, held a court here, at which was 
 tried an indictment against three Gillinghams for a nuisance in obstructing 
 Perch River. They were convicted and the sheriff directed to remove the 
 obstruction. 
 
 At the June Term of this circuit, in 1828, Henry Evans was tried and con- 
 victed of murder, and was sentenced to be, and was, hanged on the 2 2d 
 of August : H. H. Coffeen, sheriff, Robert Lansing, district attorney, and 
 Charles E. Clark for the people ; Sterling & Bronson and Nathan Rathbun 
 for the prisoner. This execution was a great event, not only in the county, 
 but for hundreds of miles around it. Crowds from every direction came for 
 a day or two before hand. On that day the writer accompanied his father 
 with a team to Watertown,sympathizing with the general excitement, to witness 
 the execution. The nearest to the village he could get with his team was a 
 house occupied by Theodore Tuttle, on State street. Every other barn 
 and yard between that and the court-house, as well as the side streets, were 
 filled with teams and carriages. The streets were crowded with people. We 
 worked our way to a position near the jail. A little after 12 o'clock a mili- 
 tary company, with a band of martial music and a hearse, appeared before the 
 jail. Soon the jail door opened and Henry H. Coffeen, followed by the 
 prisoner between several deputies, came out and marched directly behind the 
 hearse, surrounded by the military, the band with muffled drum playing a 
 solemn death march, so-called. The prisoner was a tall, athletic looking man, 
 dressed in a white robe and a white cap on his head, being his grave clothes. 
 It was said he preferred to walk than to ride. The procession, so formed; 
 marched to and across the lower bridge to the place of execution, followed 
 by the immense crowd. The gallows was erected on a high point of ground 
 on the other side of the river. At that time there were no buildings there. 
 It was an open field, to be plainly seen from the south bank of the river. We 
 found a place on this bank, where the gallows and the immense crowd on the 
 
6o JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Other side of the river were in full view. As the prisoner ascended the scaf- 
 fold my father placed me upon his shoulders, where I had a full view of the 
 whole scene until the criminal was pronounced dead and cut down. After 
 he was suspended there were a few convulsive movements of the body, the 
 right arm and leg, and all was over. During this time and until he was taken 
 down there was almost breathless silence throughout this vast multitude, and 
 as the scene closed they turned, and the movement of this mass of men, 
 women, and children from the field was a sight never to be forgotten. The ' 
 writer was then but eight years of age ; but the history of that day is as vivid ■ 
 in his memory as if it had occurred within a year last past. It is well that ' 
 such public executions have been abolished. 
 
 The June circuit, and Oyer and Terminer for 1830, was held by Samuel 
 Nelson, judge of the 6th circuit. Until June, 1834, the court was held by 
 Nathan Williams, except the December circuit of 1833, at which no judge 
 attended, and the court was adjourned sine die by the sheriff. The June cir- 
 cuit of 1834 was held by Hiram Denio, as also the subsequent circuits in 
 each year until June, 1837. The June circuit of 1837 was held by Charles 
 H. Ruggles, judge of the 2d circuit. The December Term of the same year 
 was held by Hiram Denio, the last term of this court he ever held. The 
 June Term of 1838 was held by John P. Cushman, of the 3d circuit, and the 
 next circuit and all subsequent circuits to July, 1847, were held by Philo 
 Gridley. 
 
 The first court was held in the school-house next south of Jonathan Cow- 
 an's mills, in the village of Watertown, until the term in 1809. Subsequent 
 to that they were held in the new court-house, built upon a lot conveyed to 
 the county by Henry Coffeen, for the purposes of a court-house and jail ; 
 and so long as they should be used for that purpose. The lot was the same 
 as the one on which the present jail is situated. This court-house was burned 
 in 1821, and a new court-house, of stone, was erected on the same site, in 
 which courts were held until 1858 or 1859. The old stone building became 
 so dilapidated that it was totally unsuitable for court purposes, and courts 
 were held in Apollo Hall on Court street, and in Washington Hall, until the 
 erection of the present court-house in 1862. This house was dedicated Oc- 
 tober 7, 1862, at which John Clarke, Esq., delivered an able and very interest- 
 ing address on the reminiscences of the bench and bar of this county, after 
 which a supper, with toasts and speeches, was had at the Woodruff House. 
 The occasion was the sitting of the General Term of this district ; present, 
 the following judges : Joseph Mullin, Henry A. Foster, Leroy Morgan, and 
 William J. Bacon. 
 
 The following are the first judges of the Common Pleas, district attorneys, 
 sheriffs, surrogates, and county clerks from the organization of the county, 
 with the dates of their appointment and election down to the present time, 
 as taken from the civil hst: —

 The effort has been made to ascertain the names of all the attorneys who- 
 were admitted to practice in the Court of Common Pleas in this county, from, 
 its organization to July, 1847. This has been attended with great difficulty" 
 and much uncertainty. Prior to 1815 no order of the court admitting at- 
 torneys is found upon the record. The information has been derived from 
 the oaths as such attorneys found on file, and from their first appearance 
 upon the records of the court, and in some cases solely from tradition. From 
 1815, thenceforth, orders were entered, and particularly after 1820. It i& 
 not claimed that the list is accurate, but it is as much so as can at this day 
 be determined from the data at hand.

 Of the life and character of the judges of the early history of this county 
 but little is necessarily known. Many of them were laymen, never having 
 been members of the bar, and were appointed for poHtical reasons, as well as 
 for their prominent standing in the community. So far as can be ascertained, 
 without much time and difficulty at this time, a brief statement of each man, 
 not a lawyer, who officiated as a judge is here given, those who were at- 
 torneys being mentioned with attorneys hereinafter given. 
 
 Augustus Sacket was a very estimable gentleman, from whom Sackets Har- 
 bor took its name. He was part proprietor and agent of the lands comprised 
 in that village. It does not appear from the record that he officiated in any of 
 the courts of this county in any other capacity than that of first judge. 
 
 Perley Keyes resided in Watertown ; an able but uneducated man. He 
 had extraordinary judgment upon all matters — a shrewd politician. Events 
 of his life have been repeatedly written. In fact by nature he was a man of 
 superior intellect and nerve. He was the father of Perley G. Keyes, known 
 in his day as Gardner Keyes, and grandfather of Rev. Richard G. Keyes, 
 now living in the old homestead in Watertown. He died May 13, 1834. 
 
 Lyman ElHs was a quiet, unostentatious gentleman of EUisburgh, one of the 
 pioneers, and a long time agent for the lands there, and who gave name to 
 the town. 
 
 Joseph Clark was a resident of Watertown, and a prominent business man, 
 owning and carrying on the milling business below the lower bridge on the 
 river, and is said to have mingled quite extensively in politics. He was 
 father of the late Charles Clark, who died in 1880. 
 
 Eliphalet Edmonds resided in Adams. It is reported that while he held 
 the office of judge he was indicted for blasphemy in his own court. He suc- 
 cessfully defended himself on the ground that it was siniply a theological dis- 
 cussion ; and that such discussions were free under the constitution giving 
 liberty of speech.

 Ethel Bronson was one of the early settlers of Rutland, was agent of the 
 proprietors, and was the father of Isaac H. Bronson hereafter mentioned. 
 John Brown resided at Brownville ; was a brother of General Jacob Brown, 
 of the army of 1812, from whose father the town took its name. " But in 
 the mutations of life it retains now scarcely anything of this family or its 
 fortunes but the distinguished name." 
 
 Noadiah Hubbard was one of the very first settlers of the town of Cham- 
 pion, and a resident there until a few years since, when he died nearly 100 
 years of age. He was the father of Frederick W. Hubbard, one of the jus- 
 tices of the Supreme Court from 1852 to 1858, now deceased, and of Mrs. 
 George C. Sherman, who is now living, and of Mrs. Robert Lansing now de- 
 ceased. 
 
 Jabez Foster was " one of the early and enterprising merchants of Water- 
 town, whose name and widely extended business were coincident with the 
 early history and prosperity of the town and county, and who always 
 mingled with its industry and enterprise.'' 
 
 Amasa Trowbridge was a surgeon in the army of 1812, under Maj. -Gen- 
 eral Jacob Brown. After the war he settled in Watertown, and continued 
 the family physician of Gen. Brown until the latter's death by apoplexy. 
 He became one of the most eminent surgeons in the country. He was a 
 man of great energy and nerve, lived to an old age, and died in Watertown 
 a few years since. 
 
 Samuel Whittlesey. — See among the list of lawyers. 
 
 Elijah Fields resided in the town of Watertown, nearly on the line be- 
 tween that town and Hounsfield, known as Fields Settlement, and was 
 the owner of considerable land in that vicinity, and a hotel, which was kept 
 there, and after was well known for years as the Myrick Brown place. 
 
 Calvin McKnight resided in Watertown, was an amiable and upright gen - 
 tleman, not so noted for his legal ability or learning as for his integrity. He 
 was the judge who gave the opinion on the office of demurrer. 
 
 Aaron Palmer resided in Champion, was a justice of the peace there, and 
 in his own opinion was one of the most important men in the county. He 
 kept the hotel in Champion village for years. His strict integrity and court- 
 esy to all gained the confidence of his townsmen. He drew most of the 
 contracts and conveyances in that section, and his want of knowledge of the 
 requirements of such business has rendered the tracing of title through his 
 deeds, in many instances, an impossibility at this day. 
 
 Hart Massey was born in Salem, N. H., Decembers, 1771; came to 
 Watertown in 1800; purchased a tract of land on which a portion of the 
 city of Watertown is now situated ; moved his family here in 1801 ; and first re- 
 sided in a house where the Paddock Arcade now is, then on the lot now 
 owned by E. L. Paddock on Washington street. In 181 2 he built the first 
 brick house erected in the county, which is now standing on Massey avenue. 
 He was appointed a judge in 1820. He was very efficient in the support of 
 
66 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 the agricultural interests of the county. His numerous descendants are many 
 of them among the prominent business men of the county, and useful mem- 
 bers of society. 
 
 Thomas White resided in Rodman at the village called Whitesville, from 
 whom the village was named. But little can be learned of his history, except 
 that he was a prominent leading man in that community. 
 
 Abel Cole, judge and afterwards first judge of the county, also resided in 
 Rodman, where his decendants, many of them, now reside. 
 
 Corlis Hinds resided in the town of Watertown ; was a farmer, living in a 
 stone house which is now standing south of the city hmits. He was called 
 captain, having previously held that rank as a seaman. 
 
 William Hunter resided in Adams. His particular history has not been 
 ascertained. 
 
 William Baker resided at Sackets Harbor, and is said to have been the 
 father of the late Josiah Baker and Thomas Baker, but this information is 
 not very well authenticated. 
 
 Wolcott Hubbell resided in Champion; was a resident there with Egbert 
 Ten Eyck at an early day. He was the owner of considerable property in 
 what is now called West Carthage. 
 
 William Robinson resided in Brownville. His business has not been ascer- 
 tained. Some of his descendants now, or did lately, reside in the village of 
 Brownville. 
 
 Samuel C. Kannady was a prominent lawyer, surveyor, and the agent of 
 Le Ray, in addition to being judge. Many of the deeds of Le Ray are 
 signed by Mr. Kannady as attorney. He is represented as having been an 
 able lawyer and business man. 
 
 Joseph Hawkins resided in Henderson. There is no record of his acts, 
 except in politics. He is represented to have been the first man that over- 
 matched Perley Keyes in political management, having defeated him for 
 Congress in 1828. — See Hough's History, page 431. 
 
 Richard Goodell resided in Adams. He is remembered as a large and fine 
 looking man, and as having ability and influence, and a strong Keyes man. 
 
 Zeno Allen resided at Sackets Harbor. There are many anecdotes related 
 of him during his long period on the bench. His perceptions were slow. 
 Sometimes, after others had ceased to laugh at some humorous story, he would 
 break out laughing all alone, the gist of the story having just come through 
 his mind. Yet he was of sound judgment, and had a good standing as judge. 
 
 Alpheus S. Greene was by profession a physician. He lived for some time 
 at a place the other side of the bridge, across Perch River, on the road to 
 Gunn's Corners. He moved thence to Watertown, and resided on the corner 
 of Washington and Clinton streets until his death. He was reputed a good 
 physician ; was influential and active in politics ; was postmaster at Water- 
 town, and held other important offices from time to time. 
 
 George Brown resided at Brownville ; was one of the most dignified and 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 67 
 
 -venerable men in the county. He was, during the most of his life, a justice 
 of the peace in that town, before whom many important trials were had, and 
 the best lawyers of the county did not hesitate to appear before him. It is 
 -said his court was, at all times, as dignified and orderly as the Supreme Court. 
 He was postmaster for years, and had the utmost confidence of the com- 
 munity in his ability and integrity. He was a member of the state Assembly 
 in 1819, and secured the passage of the law erecting the town of Pamelia 
 from Brownville, giving it the name of the wife of General Brown. He was 
 paternal uncle of Lysander H. Brown, mentioned in the sketches of members 
 of the bar. 
 
 John Macumber resided at Evans Mills ; was a man of even temper and 
 <;ool judgment. He was the father-in-law of John W. Tamblin, an attorney 
 of this court, and they occupied the same office together at Evans Mills for 
 many years. He died at a very old age, highly respected by all. 
 
 Eldridge G. Merrick resided at Clayton ; was the most extensive lumber- 
 man m the state, and the owner of the greatest fleet of vessels on the lake. 
 He was the soul of honor and integrity, and of great financial ability. It is 
 impossible to conceive of any motive he had in accepting the office of county 
 judge. He held the office only a short time ahd resigned. Subsequently he 
 removed to Detroit, and remained there the rest of his life. 
 
 Hiram Dewey lived in Orleans. He held the office during the latter part 
 of the existence of the old Court of Common Pleas. He was a farmer until 
 he became a large stockholder and an officer of the Jefferson County Agri- 
 ■cultural Insurance Company, when he removed to Watertown, and resided 
 there until his death. 
 
 John Thurman resided at the village of Dexter, in the town of Brownville ; 
 was a clear headed man in business and on the bench. He discharged the 
 duties of the office with remarkable ability for a layman. 
 
 Jason Clark resided at Plessis, in Alexandria. He was the general land 
 agent for Woodruff and Stocking ; had been a surveyor for Le Ray for many 
 years ; was repeatedly elected supervisor of his town. He was an intelligent 
 and influential man, and well known throughout the county. 
 
 Joseph Boyer resided at Evans Mills, in Le Ray; was a large land owner, 
 and a man of considerable wealth. He died many years since, leaving a 
 highly respected family, most of whom still reside in this county. 
 
 Thomas Waite resided in Rodman. He was the last of the judges ap- 
 pointed by the governor. He died during the last year, highly respected by 
 the community in which he lived. 
 
 This comprises all those who officiated on the bench during the existence 
 of the old Common Pleas ; not lawyers by profession, as appears from the 
 record. There are very few persons now living who remember these men or 
 their history. What has here been written of them has been obtained mostly 
 from the records, and in part from tradition, which is very unreliable as to 
 accuracy. There are, doubtless, those now living in the county, if they could

 be found, who could furnish a more detailed history of their lives. But the pub- 
 lisher cannot afford the time or expense of searching them out. The location 
 of each has been given, so that those seeking this information may readily find 
 out such history. The names of the attorneys who sat upon the bench will 
 be found in the list of lawyers. 
 
 To give the history and character of the members of this bar, which is re. 
 puted to have, during the whole period, ranked second, if not first, in the- 
 state, may seem an easy task. But much time has been spent in searching 
 records, and inquiring of persons in different localities, without ascertaining 
 any thing very definite. Those living during the time, and who personally 
 knew the facts, have passed away. What information has been gained is- 
 from the records, newspapers, and scrap books, and much from the very able 
 address of John Clarke, in 1862, delivered at the dedication of the court- 
 house. Much has been taken verbatim from these sources, indicated only by 
 quotation marks. In confirmation of the difficulties here stated, and that the 
 meagreness of the history is no disparagement of the great ability of the mem- 
 bers of this bar, the following, from an eminent jurist, is here copied: — 
 
 " Of lawyers whose lives are devoted exclusively to their profession but 
 little is necessarily known. His life is usually devoted to attaining results 
 that cease to be' of interest when the end is accomplished, and it matters not 
 how great may be his talents, how extensive his learning, or unwearied his 
 industry. Unless he has had leisure to compose judicial works he can leave 
 little behind him that will interest posterity, or which will serve to show of 
 what he was able. A forensic argument or the occasional report of a trial 
 may survive; but such fragmentary memorials are not of themselves sufficient 
 to prove that a man had attained to commanding eminence in a profession 
 where general excellence depends upon the possession and thorough cultiva- 
 tion of so many qualities. Eminent professional merit, the fruit of strong nat- 
 ural ability, coupled with great industry and experiences, has, during the life- 
 time of its possessor, but a few select admirers ; and when he has passed 
 away from the stage of life there is nothing but their recollections to float 
 him down the stream of time, until he is lost in the mist that finally enshrouds 
 all that is traditional." 
 
 Benjamin Skinner was the first surrogate of the county, and held the office 
 until February 12, 181 1. He was then appointed county clerk, and held this 
 office till February, 1813. He was succeeded by Richard M. Esselstyn, who 
 held the office till February 16, 1815, when Skinner was again appointed 
 such clerk, and held the office until June 3, 1820, when he finally retired from 
 office. He had some considerable practice as an attorney, and was reputed' 
 an excellent clerk and a substantial man. He must have employed some sub- 
 ordinate to keep the records, not very proficient in the business, as they were 
 not very well kept, either in order or penmanship. Mr. Skinner lived the 
 remainder of his life and died at the residence of his son-in-law, George- 
 Webb, between Watertown and Evans Mills. 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 69 
 
 Moss Kent was a brother of the Chief Justice and Chancellor James Kent, 
 and first located in Champion. Soon after he removed to Le Raysville and 
 went into the office of Mr. LeRay as land agent, where he remained for 
 many years. In 1810 he was appointed first judge of the county, which 
 office he held until February 26, 1818. He was also elected to Congress. 
 Mr. Clarke's address says of him: " He was a brother of James Kent, with 
 very little share of the talent or learning of that great luminary of law and 
 equity. In this is exemplified one of the freaks of nature, or else the influ- 
 ence of circumstances over the character and fortunes of men. Here the 
 one brother, a star of the first magnitude m the constellation of eminent 
 jurists; the other, though educated to the law, a plodding land agent in the 
 new county of Jefferson, and judge of its Common Pleas." 
 
 Egbert Ten Eyck " graduated from Williams College in Massachusetts, 
 read law in Albany, and moved to Champion soon after 1800. After 
 remaining there a few years, and soon after the organization of the county, 
 he removed to Watertown and opened a law office. In 181 2 he was elected 
 to the Assembly, and in 1820 was appointed first judge of the county, and 
 held the office for nine years. He ran for Congress in 1822, but was defeated 
 by Ela Collins, of Lewis County. He ran in 1824 and was elected. He 
 was one of the side judges of the Jefferson Common Pleas in 1840. He 
 took an active part in the promotion of religious, agricultural, and other inter- 
 ests in this county, and for 40 years was a prominent citizen, and was one of 
 the most trustworthy and reliable lawyers. He died in Watertown in 1844, 
 at the age of 68 years. He was father-in-law of the late Judge MuUin." 
 The above is taken from a scrap book ; the writer is unknown. 
 
 Elisha Camp resided at Sackets Harbor, and the records show that for a 
 number of years he did an extensive law business. He was surrogate from 
 February 26, 1813, to June 27, 1815. He was a member of the firms of 
 Wright & Camp and Ely & Camp. In a few years he went into other busi- 
 ness, and gradually abandoned the practice of law. He became one of the 
 most prominent men in the county. His history is elsewhere written. 
 
 Thomas Skinner, one of the first attorneys admitted in this county, is said 
 to have resided in Adams. He became a partner for a few years with Micah 
 Sterling, under the name of Skinner & Sterling ; but soon his name disap- 
 pears from the record, and but little of his character or history is known. 
 
 Isaac W. Bostwick resided at Lowville, Lewis County. The record shows 
 that he did a large business in this county, in almost every term of the court, 
 for a number of years in his own name, and as Bostwick & Allen and Bost- 
 wick & Cohins. He was land agent for the original proprietors of a large 
 tract of land, and finally gradually left the law, and lived the rest of his life 
 in the enjoyment of a large estate, and died full of honors.

 record but a very few years, but has been supposed to have gone to Oneida 
 County. 
 
 Samuel Whittlesey resided in Watertown ; was the first district attorney 
 appointed for the county, which office he held from 1808 until 1813; and 
 was one of the judges in i8r5. He was an able lawyer with an extensive 
 practice, and highly respected until the event elsewhere recorded, when he 
 sank into obscurity and disgrace. 
 
 Thomas Y. Howe resided in Brownville. He was educated for and 
 officiated as an Episcopal minister. He vsas a man of great learning 
 of commanding presence, and an eloquent speaker. For some cause he 
 left that profession and entered upon that of law ; but he lacked that 
 practical talent so requisite for success in that profession. He was in 
 every way qualified to adorn the office of bishop in his church for 
 which office, it is said, he was a candidate before his fall. It has been said 
 that the charges against him were false, and the moral and religious life led 
 by him ever afterwards tends strongly to confirm that opinion. 
 
 Amos Benedict resided at Watertown. " He graduated at Yale College 
 in 1800 J studied law with Tapan Reeve, of Connecticut, (the noted lawyer 
 and author of Reeve's Domestic delations,) and settled in Watertown in 
 1807. He was among the very first attorneys who located in Watertown 
 and was appointed district attorney in 1810. He died in 1814, and before 
 the full development of talents and abilities as a lawyer. Yet from a small 
 business at court he had before his death as much as any of the other mem- 
 bers. He was profound and brilliant ; and although his career was brief, yet 
 he left a record behind him which still remains. He resided in a house which 
 stood where the mansion of the late Oscar Paddock now stands, and out of 
 which it was constructed. His family occupied that house as late as 1840. 
 He was the owner of considerable real estate in rear of it, through which 
 Benedict street runs, and after whom the street was named. 
 
 Henry R. Storrs first located in Champion, and was one of the original pro- 
 prietors of that township. How long he remained there is not ascertained ; 
 but he at some early day removed to Whitesborough, Oneida County. But 
 he attended almost every court here till after 1823. Mr. Clarke in his address 
 says, that at the first Circuit Court held in the new stone court-house, in 1822, 
 he first heard the ponderous eloquence of Henry R. Storrs. He subsequently 
 removed to Connecticut, and was for many years the chief judge of the 
 Supreme Court of that state, and so continued until his death. 
 
 Lyman Munson resided at Adams, and, judging from the record, was an 
 attorney of good standing and had a good practice. He was surrogate from 
 April 2, 1816, to November 26, 1820. His name is not in the list of attor- 
 neys in the state in i82r. 
 
 Ela Collins resided in Watertown for some time, and removed to Lowville • 
 was a partner of Isaac W. Bostwick ; was elected to Congress ; was a very 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 71 
 
 able lawyer. He left an impression upon the community in which he lived, 
 which is felt to this day. 
 
 Artemus Stoel. — After much inquiry nothing of him is known. He had 
 some business as attorney and some as a party litigant for three or four years, 
 and then his name disappears from the record. 
 
 Micah Sterling was born in Lyme, Conn., November s, 1784; enteredYale 
 College in 1800, and graduated in 1804. He was a classmate and a great per- 
 sonal friend of John C. Calhoun during his life, and corresponded with him 
 during the whole period, except during the nullification times. He at- 
 tended a course of law lectures in Litchfield,' Conn., and afterwards studied 
 law with Judge Williams, at Utica. He located in Adams about 1809 ; and it is 
 here that he formed a partnership with Thomas Skinner, under the firm name 
 of Skinner & Sterling. He was admitted to the Common Pleas in 181 1, and 
 soon thereafter removed to Watertown. He built the stone hotel called the 
 Mansion House, located about where the Iron block now stands, kept by 
 Luther Gilson. On this lot was his first office. He bought a tract of land 
 and built thereon the stone mansion, where his son. Rev. John C. Sterling, 
 now resides, and surrounded it with a beautiful park, long known as Sterling's 
 Park. He was elected to Congress in 1821, and in 1836 to the state Senate. 
 Soon after the admisson of Isaac H. Bronson as an attorney, in 1823, he 
 formed a copartnership with him under the name of Sterling & Bronson, and 
 so continued till 1840. Mr. Sterling from the beginning of his practice took 
 one of the most prominent positions at the bar. He was tall, strongly built, 
 and dignified in his deportment. He was a fluent speaker and cogent rea- 
 soner ; and during the term of their copartnership the firm of Sterling & 
 Bronson was at the head of the profession in this county. He died April 11, 
 1844, the same day of Judge Ten Eyck's decease. 
 
 Alfred Lathrop resided in Champion village for many years. He was the 
 agent of Champion & Storrs, the original proprietors of that township, until the 
 lands were all sold. He removed some time prior to 1840 to West Carthage^ 
 and engaged in farming, manufacturing linseed oil, etc., and lived to an old 
 age, highly respected and esteemed by the community. He left a large fam- 
 ily who left in early life for different parts of the county, one, Dr. Lathrop, 
 going to the Sandwich Islands. There is not a representative of the family 
 now living in this county. 
 
 Of Popham and [Radcliff nothing can be learned. The name of William 
 S. Radcliff appears in the list of attorneys for the state of New York in 1821, 
 as located in the city of New York, and is supposed to be the same person. 
 
 David W. Bucklin was admitted in 181 1. He soon attained the first rank 
 in the profession. He was district attorney for many years. The description 
 of Mr. Bucklin is best given in Mr. Clarke's address before referred to, and is 
 here quoted. He says, after speaking of Micah Sterling : "The equally tall 
 and more robust form of David W. Bucklin, with his powerful enunciation, 
 sometimes withering rebuke and sarcasm, bearing down his adversary by the 
 
72 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 very force of his presence, and frightening the witness out of his falsehood 
 or integrity, no matter which, by, so to speak, the momentum of his appear- 
 ance. This gentleman became afterwards involved in politics, went to the leg- 
 islature, removed to New York, and died ; and his mantle descended upon 
 George C. Sherman, Esq., his partner. The last time I heard him speak 
 was in the Court of Sessions in defending a prisoner on a charge of theft ; and 
 the question of intent was strictly involved ; in the language of the books the 
 animus fur audi, literally translated, 'intent to steal.' In suraing up to the 
 jury Mr. Bucklin, in his impassioned manner, urged this principle, and, if I 
 recollect right, successfully : that the legal term animus furandi signified a 
 furious mind, ' a most furious mind, gentlemen of the jury ! ' and that his cli- 
 ent's conviction or acquittal depended upon ' whether he, this poor, puny, 
 half-starved, misbegotten creature, had a furious mind when he took the prop- 
 erty. I tell you, gentlemen, the thing is impossible.' " " I could not deter- 
 mine," says Mr. Clarke, " at that time, though Mr. Bucklin had himself been 
 district attorney, but was not burdened with classical learning, whether he 
 was in earnest or jest in his argument; but from his manner every one 
 would be led to believe that he was in dead earnest." 
 
 John M. Canfield was born in Sharon, Conn., December 22, 1775 ; studied 
 law in the office of Judge Ambrose Spencer, at Albany, and completed- his 
 studies, and was admitted as an attorney in 1796. He then went to Catskill, 
 and practiced there till 18 10, when he came to this county and located in 
 Brownville. He soon formed a copartnership with William Brown, under the 
 firm name of Canfield & Brown. In 1813 he was appointed collector of 
 direct taxes by James Madison, then President of the United States, and 
 about this time he removed to Watertown ; and from the record it would ap- 
 pear that the firm for a short time practiced in Watertown. In 1819 he was 
 appointed collector of the port of Sackets Harbor by President James Mon- 
 roe, and removed to that place. He continued as such collector till 1828, 
 during which time he did very little practice as an attorney, and afterwards 
 did very little business of any kind. He died July 9, r849. He married 
 Fanny Harvey, of Stamford, Conn., by whom he had 11 children, of whom 
 Theodore Canfield, of Sackets Harbor, is the only survivor. 
 
 Harlow Emerson came originally from Norwich, Conn. He studied law in 
 the office of Micah Sterling, and was admitted in 1 815. Of him the follow- 
 ing from Mr. Clarke's address is quoted: " Mr. Emerson, now deceased, was 
 one of the old members of the bar of this county, and somewhat distinguished 
 as a special pleader. He was arguing a demurrer to a complaint upon a 
 promissory note; a complaint, plain, simple, without fault or blemish. I 
 believe the demurrer took umbrage at some ancient formality, as charging 
 that the defendant fraudulently intending to injure and had not paid, etc. 
 The demurrer; was obviously interposed for delay, and perhaps for fun, as at 
 that period it sometimes occurred. Mr. Emerson, quite unnecessarily, but 
 casually, stated to the court the office of a demurrer, and the derivation of the 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 73 
 
 term, which is from the Latin demorare, or old French demorien, to wait, 
 stay, delay, etc. The presiding judge (McKnight), after the statement of the 
 case, and without hearing the other side, after a few moments' consultation 
 with his associates, said, ' we think the demurrer well taken.' Mr. Emerson, 
 in utter amazement at the absurdity of the thing, and under the impulse 
 of the moment, and the influence of a habit contracted in early life when a 
 sailor, thrown off" after the gown was assumed, but coming strong upon him 
 at the time, replied : ' The hell you do!" The judge, without taking the least 
 umbrage at this very emphatic interjection, set about to vindicate the decision 
 upon the very principle and definition stated by the counsel, which the court 
 entirely appreciated : that the demurrer being for delay had performed its 
 office agreeable to the defendant, and so why not well taken, in the name of 
 common sense. This discussion and decision produced such an irresistible 
 impulse of laughter that the whole bar was convulsed, and Mr. Bucklin, in 
 the utter exhuberance of mirth, arose, clapped his hands, and hurrahed in 
 open court. This was said to have been one of the scenes in the old Court 
 of Common Pleas in its early history, when the wild woods were bowing 
 beneath the sturdy stroke of the stalwart men of the new settlement, and 
 ceremonials yielded to the sterner exigency of life." 
 
 Mr. Emerson was a great student of the sciences and general literature ; a 
 thorough scholar. His mind was particularly adapted to the science of the 
 law, and he was notorious in the special pleadings of the old practice, which 
 was the perfection of logic. He was the father of Fred Emerson, now a 
 prominent and influential citizen of the city of Watertown. Mr. Emerson 
 died June 24, 1846. 
 
 H. W. Channing, of whom but little is known, studied law with Judge 
 Ten Eyck; was admitted to practice in July, t8i2, and was for several years 
 a partner of Ten Eyck under the name .of Ten Eyck & Channing; and in 
 1 82 1 his name appears among the list of attorneys in the city of New York. 
 
 Samuel A. Talcott was admitted in 1813, and is said then to have resided 
 in Watertown, but soon removed to Lowville. He was the father of the late 
 Judge Talcott, of Buffalo. Samuel A. Talcott became attorney-general of 
 the state, and was reputed the greatest forensic orator in the state. He died 
 at the early age of 36 years, leaving a reputation belonging to the state at 
 large rather than to any particular locality. 
 
 Barnabas Yale resided in Martinsburg in 1814, when he was admitted to 
 practice, and resided there in 1821. He had but little practice in this 
 county. His descendants, it is said, reside there now, and his history belongs 
 more properly to Lewis County. Martinsburg was then the county seat of 
 that county. 
 
 Thomas C. Chittenden lived at Adams ; was admitted to the bar in 1813, 
 where he did an extensive law business till 1840. He had a fine dignified 
 presence, was a good speaker, and always came into court thoroughly pre- 
 pared. He was one of the ablest lawyers at the bar. He was elected to 
 
74 JEFFERSOH COUNTY. 
 
 Congress in 1838 and again in 1840; was in that year appointed first judge 
 of the county, and removed to Watertown, and lived there the remainder of 
 his life. He died full of years and honors. He was a perfect verification of 
 the old adage, that lawyers work hard, live well, and die poor. 
 
 John Cook. — Of his history or residence nothing has been ascertained. 
 
 H. Leavenworth. — The same is said of him. 
 
 Cornelius Low resided in Lowville. He was the proprietor of a large tract 
 of land in Lewis and Jefferson counties, of whom Isaac W. Bostwick was 
 agent. His object in being admitted to this court is not so obvious. His 
 name as an attorney appears upon the record a very few times, if any. There 
 is no record of his attaining any reputation in this state anywhere as a 
 lawyer. 
 
 Samuel Beardsley was admitted to practice in 181 5. He then resided at 
 Watertown, but remained here only a short time, when he went to Whites- 
 borough, Oneida County, and thence to Utica, where he became one of the 
 leading lawyers of the state. He was appointed one of the justices of the 
 Supreme Court, and was chief justice when the constitution of 1846 went 
 into effect. His history is a part of the judicial history of the state. 
 
 J. Rossiter studied law in the office of Daniel Wardwell at Mannsville ; 
 was admitted in 1815, and was a partner of Daniel Wardwell under the firm 
 name of Wardwell & Rossiter for several years, when his name disappears 
 from the record. His subsequent history is unknown. 
 
 George Smith, who was admitted in 1815, resided in Watertown, and was 
 a resident there in 1821. From the record it appears he did considerable 
 business. Beyond this, strange as it may appear, nothing has been learned 
 of the man or his history. 
 
 Baron S. Doty, admitted in 18 17, resided in Martinsburg. What is said 
 of Barnabas Yale and of his history is all that can be said of him. His his- 
 tory belongs to Lewis County. It would seem that some in the adjoining 
 counties, and who never resided in this, were admitted to enable them to 
 practice in this court. Others after being admitted, or after practicing here 
 for a short time, left to make and leave a reputation and history in some 
 other locality. 
 
 Enoch Ely was admitted in 1813 ; was a partner of Elisha Camp, under 
 the firm name of Ely & Camp. Nothing definite as to his character or his- 
 tory has been ascertained. It cannot be learned that he was in any way 
 related to the other Elys residing in Watertown and Brownville. The record 
 shows that he resided in Sackets Harbor and was a partner of Elisha Camp 
 in the law practice for a short time, and that is all. 
 
 Amos Holton was admitted in 1815 ; resided in Sackets Harbor, and for 
 a number of years did quite a large law business, as we learn from the record. 
 Quite an extensive inquiry has been made in that village and elsewhere in 
 the county to ascertain more of the history and character of this man, but 
 without success. 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 75 
 
 Charles Dayan resided in the county of Lewis, and like many other attor- 
 neys of that county was admitted to practice as an attorney in the Jefferson 
 Common Pleas. He was an able lawyer, and a good and fluent speaker. 
 For many years he was known as a member of the firm of Dayan & Parish. 
 He for a long time did considerable business in the courts of this county. An 
 anecdote is related of him which, as illustrating the character of the man and 
 court during those days, is here given: — 
 
 " He was trying a cause in that court, when he anticipated the same degree 
 of deference as he was accustomed to from judges of his own county. 
 During the progress of the trial he raised some objections to the evidence or 
 other questions, which the court seemed inclined to hold against him, despite 
 a most earnest argument to the contrary, and at length, as if he thought to 
 explode a petard upon them, said : ' May it please your Honors, if it is possi- 
 ble, that your Honors shall hold this point against me, I have to say to your 
 Honors, with great regret and entire deference to the court, but with a full 
 sense of my own rights and my imperative duty, however disagreeable it may 
 be to your Honors, I shall certainly be under the painful necessity of taking 
 an exception to your Honors' ruling.' " 
 
 Mr. Dayan was a sociable and very agreeable man, and highly respected by 
 all. He died many years since. 
 
 John McCarty resided in Hounsfield ; was admitted in 1820. Thorough 
 inquiry in that town has failed to discover anything of his history. The 
 records do not show that he did much business in this county. He probably 
 soon removed to, and made a history in, some other location. 
 -Horatio Shumway was admitted in 1820; in February of that year 
 was appointed district attorney, and was succeeded by David W. Bucklin in 
 February, 1821. Soon thereafter he removed to Buffalo, where he resided 
 the remainder of his life. 
 
 George P. Bond was admitted in 1822; is supposed to have resided in 
 Adams. Nothing further has been learned of his history. 
 
 Dyer Tillinghast, admitted in 1822, resided at Sackets Harbor. He also 
 removed to Buffalo very soon thereafter. 
 
 Benajah B. Phelps, admitted the same year, is also reported to have lived 
 in Sackets Harbor. No reliable facts regarding his history have come to 
 hand. (In the History of Jefferson County, published in 1877, he is recorded 
 as living in Rodman.) 
 
 John Adams was admitted in 1823 ; resided in Watertown, and for a time 
 was a partner of Harlow Emerson. He then removed to Monroe, Michigan, 
 where he died many years since. 
 
 Perley G. Keyes, admitted in 1824, was the only son of Judge Perley 
 Keyes, and always resided in Watertown. He was possessed of considerable 
 wealth, practiced law but little, was a prominent Abolitionist, and very active 
 in that line. He died of apoplexy many years since, leaving Rev. Richard 
 G. Keyes, his only heir, surviving him. 
 
76 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Edward Fowler, admitted in 1825, resided at Ox Bow, in this county, and 
 resided there in 1836. He had a limited practice, but is reputed to have 
 been a highly respectable citizen and good counselor. 
 
 Alexander W. Stowe, admitted in 1826, came from Lowville, and located 
 for a time in Sackets Harbor. He is reputed as having great briUiancy and 
 ability as a lawyer, though somewhat eccentric in his character. He remained 
 there only a short time, when he left and located in one of the Western states, 
 where he became a judge of one of the highest courts, and attained a repu- 
 tation as an able jurist. 
 
 Orson Parker was admitted the same year, and of him nothing can be 
 learned : whence he came, where he resided, or whither he went. 
 
 Of Marenus W. Matthews, admitted in 1828, the same must be said. 
 
 Of Stockwell Osgood, admitted in 1829, the same must be said. It is 
 quite probable that soon after their admission they left to practice their 
 profession, or at least to engage in some business, in some other locality. 
 Hough's History gives the name as one of the trustees of Union Library, 
 formed August 14, 1824, in Cape Vincent ; and Everts & Go's History the 
 name of S. Osgood as attorney in Adams in 1821. 
 
 Edmund M. Eldridge, admitted in 1829, resided in Belleville ; and resided 
 there in 1836, and many years later. He had considerable reputation in his 
 immediate vicinity, but less reputation as a lawyer in the county at large. He 
 finally removed to La Fargeville, and represented the town of Orleans as super- 
 visor in the county board of 1843. 
 
 Edwin Dodge studied law in the office of Sterling & Bronson, and was ad- 
 mitted in 1829. Sometime prior to 1836 he located in Gouverneur, St. Law- 
 rence County. He became one of the most wealthy and influential men of 
 that county; was elected to and held the office of county judge for many 
 years. His history belongs rather to the bar of that county than to this. 
 
 William A. Green was admitted in 1830 ; studied law in the office of Jus- 
 tin Butterfield, to whom he was in some way related by marriage, and whose 
 office was in Sackets Harbor. After Mr. Butterfield moved to Watertown he 
 went to Sackets Harbor and took Mr. Butterfield's business, and after about 
 two years he went to New York, and resided in Brooklyn until a few years 
 since, when physical inability compelled him to abandon the practice of law, 
 when he came to and located in Watertown. He was a clear headed, able, 
 and learned lawyer, and very successful, both in getting business and in doing 
 it. He now boards with Rev. Richard G. Keyes, is a very sociable and 
 agreeable gentleman, and is very interesting in his reminiscences of the bar 
 of this county and of the character of its members. 
 
 John W. Tamblin was admitted in 183 i. He resided at Evans Mills, and 
 married the daughter of Judge John Macumber. He early engaged in poli- 
 tics, and never had a very extensive law business. He had great influence 
 and strength in the political party to which he belonged. He was elected 
 assemblyman several times, and served one term of four years as senator. 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 77 
 
 Sometime after 1840 he removed to Watertown, and for several years was 
 editor of a weekly paper. Mr. Tamblin was a great reader ; but his reading 
 was mostly of that kind which stored the mind with scientific facts and theo- 
 ries, but added little to his practical knowledge. He died leaving behind him 
 no appreciation of his actual knowledge or learning, for the very reason that 
 he left no evidence of any application of it of any value or interest what- 
 ever. 
 
 Of Alfred D. Rathbun, admitted at the same time, nothing has been 
 learned. 
 
 Edward B. Hawes, admitted the same year, resided at Belleville. He was 
 "for many years engaged almost daily in trying suits in justice's court, at which 
 ■he was an expert. He had good legal ability, but was eccentric in his char- 
 acter. No man in the southern portion of the county was better known 
 than he. He was generous to a fault. He was alternately very piqus and 
 very profane ; yet ho one had more charity extended to him for his faults 
 "than he. After a long life of excitement he died, avowedly looking upon the 
 :grave as a place of rest. 
 
 William Ruger, admitted in 1831, was noted as a great teacher of mathe- 
 matics, teaching what was called select schools in various parts of the county, 
 and was the author of Ruger s Arithmetic. About 1836 be formed a copart- 
 nership with Charles Mason, who came from Madison County, and who about 
 1840 returned there to practice. Ruger then formed a copartnership with 
 Joshua Moore, then living in Brownville, under the firm name of Ruger & 
 Moore. He was elected state senator about 1838, dying in 1842. He was 
 reputed a sound lawyer, but a poor speaker. He was an uncle of the present 
 -chief justice of the Court of Appeals. 
 
 Andrew Z. McCarty resided in this county when he was admitted in 1831, 
 '>but very soon thereafter moved to Pulaski, where he resided, practicing his 
 profession till his death a few years since. His history belongs to Oswego 
 County. 
 
 William H. Shumway, admitted this year, was a peculiar character. No 
 man was better known throughout the county. He never married, and was 
 at times very intemperate, losing all his business, and suddenly reforming 
 ■would regain the confidence of the community and his business. The muta- 
 tions often occurred. He finally left Watertown and went to Oswego, into the 
 insurance business, where his alternating habits followed him. Thence he 
 went to Syracuse, and finally got into the state law library there as assist- 
 ant. He died in that capacity. It was said he got nothing for his services, 
 ■except what lawyers paid him for lookmg up books and authorities for them, 
 at which, it was universally conceded, he was an expert. 
 
 Of Henderson Spencer, admitted the same year, nothing is known. 
 
 Jason Marsh, admitted this year, lived and practiced the law for several 
 years in Adams, where he resided. Nothing has been learned of him except 
 what appears upon the record. It appears that for some time he did consid- 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 erable business, and was there in 1836. Probably a niore extensive inquiry- 
 in Adams might discover some one who could give more particulars of his 
 life, but they have not been found from the inquires made. 
 
 Of Albert Richmond, admitted in 1832, and of Peter Yates, admitted in 
 1833, and Ahera G. Eastman, admitted in 1835, nothing is known. 
 
 Samuel G. Watsoa studied law in the office of C. E. & J. Clark; was ad- 
 mitted in 1832, and located at Sackets Harbor; was there in 1836. He sub- 
 sequently located in Pulaski. He was a man of fair ability and industry; 
 respected by the community. He was postmaster at Pulaski for a number 
 of years. 
 
 Augustus Ford, admitted" in 1833, was a son of William D. Ford, and re- 
 sided in Sackets Harbor. He was respected for his legal abihty and great 
 social qualities. While at Sackets Harbor he was an intimate associate of 
 the officers at the garrison there, among whom was General Grant. For a 
 long time many soldiers and officers were stationed at Sackets Harbor, until 
 at length nearly all were ordered away ; and when this was done the town 
 became dull, and the lawyers from time to time left. Mr. Ford went first to 
 Buffalo, and, after staying there a short time, he went to New York ; located 
 in Brooklyn, where he now resides. 
 
 Nathan Rathbun, admitted in 1833, lived in Brownville ; had a good rep- 
 utation and business in his profession. How it happens that he was one of 
 the counsel who defended Evans for murder in the Oyer and Terminer, in 
 1828, when he was not admitted to the Common Pleas till 1833, five years 
 after, can be accounted for only upon the supposition that in 1828 he 
 had been admitted to the Supreme Court, and not to the Common Pleas 
 till 1833. There is none of his family now remaining in Brownville or in the 
 county so far as can be ascertained. 
 
 John S. Bagg resided in Watertown ; was a brother of an eminent physi- 
 cian who resided here ; and soon after his admission, in 1834, removed to 
 Detroit, Michigan. He formed and left behind him no reputation as a 
 lawyer. 
 
 Anthony Ten Eyck, admitted this year (1834), was a son of Judge Egbert 
 Ten Eyck. He also soon after his admission removed to Detroit, where he 
 gained considerable reputation as a lawyer, and died several years ago. 
 
 George A. Benedict, admitted at the same time, was a son of Amos Ben- 
 edict, and soon after his admission he removed to Cleveland, Ohio, where 
 hefpracticed law for awhile, and at length was part proprietor of a daily 
 paper in that city, until his death several years since. 
 
 Charles Mason came to this county from Madison County in 1835, and 
 was admitted to the Common Pleas. He soon thereafter formed a partner- 
 ship with William Ruger, which continued till 1839, when it was dissolved, 
 and he returned to Madison County, where he practiced law till he was 
 elected judge of the 6th district under the constitution of 1846. He filled 
 this office two terms, when he was appointed clerk of the Circuit Court 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 79 
 
 located at Utica, which office he filled till his death. His reputation belongs 
 to the state rather than to this county or this district. 
 
 Charles Hayden, admitted in 1819, lived in Richland, Oswego County. 
 His history belongs to that county. 
 
 David Brooks, Jr., was admitted in iSig, and all that is known of him is 
 that for awhile he was a partner of Justin Butterfield, under the name of But- 
 terfield & Brooks, and resided in Sackets Harbor. 
 
 Of Abel P. Vosburgh nothing can be learned. Whence he came, where he 
 resided, and vyhence he went is unknown. 
 
 Nothing of David Perry has been ascertained. Admitted in i8ri, he did 
 considerable business, but his name is not found on the list of attorneys of 
 1821. 
 
 Daniel Wardwell, admitted in 1814, then resided in Mannsville. J. Ros- 
 siter, probably a student in his office, admitted the year after, became his 
 partner. The firm of Wardwell & Rossiter appears upon the record for sev- 
 eral years. Mr. Wardwell removed to and practiced in Adams. He was 
 appointed judge, and first sat on the bench at the December Term, 1824, 
 the last time in December, 1826. He was elected congressman three suc- 
 cessive terms, representing Jefferson County six years. He is reputed as a 
 man of ability and integrity, and has left surviving a highly respectable family. 
 One of his sons is now living in Adams, and another in Rome. 
 
 William D. Ford, admitted in 181 7, is recorded as living in Sackets Har- 
 bor. There is some evidence that at one time he had an office and practiced 
 law in the then village of Watertown. For many years he was a prominent 
 member of the bar. He was the father of Augustus Ford hereinbefore men- 
 tioned. 
 
 Justin Butterfield was admitted to the bar of Jefferson County Common 
 Pleas in 1813, and had an extensive law business until he went to Chicago 
 in 1840. There is evidence that he was located in Watertown most of the 
 time, and a part of the time in Sackets Harbor. During the time he had 
 severel partners, among whom was David Brooks, Jr. In the opinion of 
 many of his cotemporaries he was the ablest lawyer in the county. He left 
 behind him a brilliant reputation, which still lingers in the memory of the 
 older inhabitants, and has been transmitted to and believed by those who 
 never saw or heard him. There are many incidents of his professional life, 
 of his genius, tact, and mental acuteness, worth recording, which would be 
 appropriate in an extended history of his life, but which the limits of this 
 article will not permit. He acquired a good reputation in Chicago. He 
 defended the prophet Joseph Smith before Judge Pope, and there were sev- 
 eral jurymen by the name of Angel. His opening address to the jury on 
 this occasion was, " May it please the court, I arise before the Pope in the 
 presence of angels to defend the prophet of the Lord." There are many 
 versions of this address, but the above is given as the substance of what h& 
 actually said. 
 
So JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Gouverneur M. Bucklin, admitted in 1836, was a son of David W. Bucklin. 
 He inherited from his father his physical development, voice, and " volubility 
 of tongue," but not his industry or ambition. He lived in Watertown till 
 about 1840. He had no business for the reason he would not do it. He 
 married a very estimable lady about this time, a Miss Abbey, and removed to 
 Carthage^ where he remained several years and did very well. He then 
 removed to New York and had an appointment in the custom-house, which 
 he held through all administrations until his death. He had most extraor- 
 dinary conversational powers, commanding attention in whatever social posi- 
 tion, high or low, he was placed. With brilliant talents nothing prevented 
 his success but want of application. He died several years since at his resi- 
 dence in Jersey City. 
 
 Alonzo M. Watson, admitted in 1837, was a resident of Watertown. In 
 1840 he formed a copartnership with John F. Hutchinson in the law busi- 
 ness. Though he had ability and integrity he was not successful. He or- 
 ganized a Fourier association here, located on Cold Creek some two miles 
 east of the village, of which he was president, upon several hundred acres of 
 land, and carried on the business until not only the association, but about 
 every one of its members, became insolvent. He left the law practice, and 
 finally removed to Rochester, and died there soon after, leaving a widow with a 
 large family of enterprising boys. They came back to this county after the 
 father's decease, and settled in Redwood, and one of the boySj Don M., became 
 for a long time a most efficient commissioner of common schools in the third 
 commissioner district of the county. 
 
 Westel W. Wager resided in Brownville, flourished as a lawyer, but mostly 
 in the lower courts, for a number of years. He died of consumption many 
 years since, leaving a son who is a successful practitioner in the city of New 
 York. 
 
 Frederick W. Hubbard, admitted in 1838, was a son of Judge Noadiah 
 Hubbard, of Champion, and married a daughter of Peleg Burchard. He 
 studied law in the office of Lansing & Sherman, his brothers-in-law, and was 
 a man of strict integrity and high moral character. He formed a copartner- 
 ship with J. H. Dutton, his cousin, under the name of Hubbard & Dutton, 
 for several years, and then with his nephew, Stephen J. Hubbard. He was 
 elected a justice of the Supreme Court, and took his seat upon the bench Jan- 
 uary I, 1852, for eight years. During these eight years the politics of the 
 county changed, and he was succeeded by Hon. Joseph Mullin. He then 
 resumed the practice of law, doing an extensive business till his death. Some 
 year or two before he died he removed his office to the city of New York. 
 
 Hiram Steele was practicing law and resided in Sackets Harbor prior to 
 1819. He was one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas in this 
 county during the years 1821 and 1822. 
 
 E. Smith Lee was admitted in 1 8 ig, resided in Sackets Harbor, and formed 
 a copartnership with Hiram Steele, under the name of Lee & Steele. An amus- 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 8 1 
 
 ing anecdote is related of this firm, as occurring at one of the circuit courts- 
 held in this county. At that time a written calendar of cases to be tried was 
 made up for the use of the court, on which was one, at least, wherein Lee & 
 Steele were the attorneys ; and the clerk, in writing the name of Lee, had neg- 
 lected to loop the e in the name of Lee, and some wag, or mischievous mem- 
 ber of the bar, found an opportunity to dot the first e and put a loop to the 
 second, so as to make the whole list of their causes read " Lie and Steele, attor- 
 neys for the," etc. This was not discovered till the judge was calling the calen- 
 dar and came upon the names, and, in his embarrassment, the judge, looking 
 through the list, called the attention of the clerk to it. This very soon 
 caused a breeze of mirth through the bar, and an expression of wrath from 
 the attorneys thus libelled, and a continual running fire of interjectional in- 
 vective during the term. This firm, however, for a number of years did a 
 large business, as appears from the record. Their subsequent history or 
 whereabouts is unknown. 
 
 Jeduthan Steele resided in Sackets Harbor. He was admitted in 1824,. 
 and was a prominent man there as well as in the county. He died in 1838. 
 Nothing further of his history could be learned, as none of his relatives are 
 now living in the county so far as can be ascertained. 
 
 Horace How came from Vermont to Sackets Harbor about 1830, and was 
 admitted that year. He married one of the daughters of John M. Canfield. 
 He had good ability, but did not engage extensively in the practice of the law. 
 He left there in 1848, and went to Chicago, where he died. 
 
 Lysander H. Brown. — The life, character, and eminent ability of Lysander 
 H. Brown, a member of the Jefferson County bar, deserve more than a com- 
 monplace tribute. The germ of eloquence seems to have been born in him. 
 It is not the eloquence that entertains without instructing, that is lost and 
 forgotten as soon as it is uttered ; but the eloquence of manner, thought, and 
 diction that leaves a lasting and enobhng impression upon the mind. He is 
 the only representative of the bar of this county so largely endowed by nat- 
 ure with this great gift, and he has never failed to use it at the call of the 
 profession. In the History of Jefferson County, published in 1878, by L. H. 
 Everts & Co., is a sketch of the principal events of his life ; but from that 
 sketch but little of the characteristic oratorical ability of Mr. Brown can be 
 learned. It will be the effort here to recall the ejrly events of his life, which 
 tended to develop his peculiar talent, and the growth and maturity of that 
 talent during a long life of exemplary usefulness. He was born in Brown- 
 ville, December 20, 1808. The early part of his life was spent upon a farm, 
 attending, during the winter, the district school. By this occupation he ob- 
 tained vigor of mind and body. In 1828 or 1829 he entered Union Academy 
 at Belleville, where he remained two years. It was here that he had the 
 opportunity of cultivating his special gift. The late Judge Mullin and 
 George F. Cqmstock, of Syracuse, were students there during the time. The 
 Rev. Jedediah Burchard, the eloquent evangelist, was an officiating clergy- 
 
82 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 man at that place, and taught a class in elocution, of which class Mr. Brown 
 was a most attentive and tractable member. Under the most excellent and 
 masterly tuition of this celebrated clergyman he laid the foundation of that 
 winning and lively oratory for which he was afterwards so distinguished. 
 In 1831 he entered Union College, graduating in July, 1834. During this 
 time the Rev. Dr. Nott, in the full vigor of his life, was the president, 
 and Dr. Alonzo Potter, afterwards bishop of the diocese of Pennsylvania, 
 was the vice-president of that institution, with a large faculty possessing as 
 high a character, and occupying as high a position in public estimation, as 
 any institution of learning in the country. 
 
 The very atmosphere he breathed was full of literature, classical and scien- 
 tific ; and he was permitted almost daily to listen to the private and public 
 talk 'of two of the highest specimens of oratorical genius. Graduating with 
 the highest honors of the college, and with a mind disciplined and exalted 
 under these influences, Mr. Brown, in October, 1834, became the principal 
 of the Champion Academy. Under his direction that academy at once took 
 high standing among the educational institutions of the country. He 
 remained in charge of the academy until March, 1838, and during the time 
 many of his students received that education and mental discipline which 
 afterwards gave them high positions in the business and professional world. 
 It was during this period that the public first became acquainted 'with 
 his ability as a captivating public speaker. His able and eloquent addresses 
 during this period raised him very high in the estimation of the public. In 
 March, 1838, he left the academy and came to Watertown to complete the 
 study of the profession, with a reputation unsurpassed by any one in the county. 
 It was during this summer that he commenced his political life by public 
 speeches in favor of the election of Isaac H. Bronson for Congress. In 
 October, 1839, he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court. In 1840 
 he was in the political field in support of Martin Van Buren, but his elo- 
 quence made little impression against the senseless excitement of that log- 
 cabin campaign. His mind was not adapted and could not bend to the 
 details and technicalities of the legal profession ; and yet he has been engaged 
 in the courts, and in business connected with the courts, during large portions 
 of his time. His familiarity with law and lawyers and judges has been exten- 
 sive for 50 years ; not only the professional courtesies but the social ameni- 
 ties have been cordial between them. In 1842 he was appointed to and 
 accepted the office of superintendent of common schools of lefterson County. 
 This employment was more congenial with his tastes. In this avocation he 
 excelled. During this time he made to Hon. Samuel Young, state super- 
 intendent, the most able report received by him from any of the counties in 
 the state. He held this office three years. 
 
 In 1844 occurred the presidential campaign between James K. Polk, the 
 Deraocractic nominee, and Henry Clay, the Whig candidate. During this 
 campaign Mr. Brown was nominated for the Assembly. The ablest political 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 83 
 
 speeches Mr. Brown ever made were during this campaign for the election 
 of the Democratic candidate for President. He was thoroughly posted on 
 €very issue involved in the canvass, and he handled them with great elo- 
 quence and power. During this canvass, in the old Agricultural hall, in the 
 rear of the county jail, the Hon. John A. Dix and Mr. Brown, on the same 
 occasion, addressed a crowded house. Both seemed to do their utmost. It 
 was the universal opinion that Mr. Brown, in the clearness of his statements, 
 the logic of his reasoning, and purity of diction, far exceeded that of Mr. Dix. 
 In after years Mr. Brown was often called to speak in company with such men as 
 John Van Buren, Horatio Seymour, Daniel S. Dickinson, and others of equal 
 •celebrity, invariably acquitting himself with conspicuous credit. Even as 
 late as the Cleveland and Blaine campaign he spoke with Lieut. -Gov. 
 Dorsheimer to an audience of over 3,000 at the armory in the city of Water- 
 town ; and his speech was considered on all hands the feature of the occa- 
 sion. Mr. Brown was elected to the Assembly, and took his seat January 
 I, 1845. His acts there are a matter of public record. It was universally 
 -conceded that he was the best speaker in the House. In 1846 he was a can- 
 didate for the nomination for Congress, and a majority of the delegates to 
 the nominating convention were elected pledged for him. But that majority 
 was changed by his opponents nominating one of his supporters for sheriff. 
 The result was the defeat of the nominee at the election. All the efforts of 
 Mr. Brown to the contrary could not prevent it. In 1847 he was elected 
 surrogate, the first under the constitution of 1846, and held the office from 
 July I, 1847, to January i, 1852. His prominence as a speaker, and his 
 activity in the pohtical field, continued down to 1884. 
 
 During the civil war he was frequently called to the forum for the Union 
 ■cause. At a celebration of the fall of Atlanta, in the city of Watertown, he 
 was the principal speaker. His patriotic sentiments were uttered with that 
 fervid eloquence of imagery and diction that a certain listener, an able critic, 
 remarked that the speech would have been a credit to any of the first ora- 
 tors of the country. His ability in this direction was not confined to politi- 
 cal subjects. It shone forth equally on every subject, and upon every 
 occasion when he was called upon to speak. The farewell address to his 
 ■students and the patrons of the Champion Academy, at the close of his 
 labors there, will long be remembered by those who heard him. More than 
 50 years have passed since that address was dehvered ; and perhaps a large 
 majority of his hearers have passed away; yet it is often referred to by those 
 who survive. This is characteristic of his pubUc efforts; they are remem- 
 bered. His various addresses before educational institutions are universally 
 ■commended for their abihty and their eloquence, both in matter and diction. 
 
 For nearly half a century he has been an active member of the Masonic 
 fraternity, and for a number of years was master of the lodge. In this ca- 
 pacity he has officiated at scores of Masonic burials. The reading of the 
 service of the grave, a service deeply pathetic in itself, was made doubly so 
 
84 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 by the manner, the emphasis, and depth of feeling with which he delivered it> 
 It was his custom, at the end of the formal ritual, to address his Masonic 
 brethren, and the mourning friends and relatives of the deceased, with senti- 
 ments appropriate to the occasion. These sentiments, so sympathetic in 
 their nature, clothed in chaste and eloquent language, and delivered as- 
 though coming from the very depths of his heart, left upon his hearers a pro- 
 found and lasting impression. These efforts have seldom been surpassed. 
 Among the burial services so conducted by him were those of Noadiah Hub- 
 bard, an aged and venerable member of the fraternity, at his grave in Cham- 
 pion ; of Joseph Curtis Pattridge, a personal friend ; and of Frank Nimmocks,. 
 of high standing, not only in the lodge, but in the community at large. 
 
 Mr. Brown for many years, and upon almost all occasions, attended thfr 
 meetings of the Jefferson County bar, and especially those called to pay 
 tribute to the memory of its deceased members. These occasions have been' 
 many during the past 25 years. Among the occasions especially to be noted 
 are those of the late Judge Lansing and Judge MulUn. The address on the 
 occasion of the death of Judge Lansing was delivered without notes, and it 
 is unfortunate that no record of it now remains. That upon the death of 
 Justice Mullin, his classmate at the academy and roommate in college^ 
 and a life-long friend and associate, is yet preserved. The writer sincerely 
 and heartily hopes that when his time shall come there may be some one to 
 pay an equally just tribute to his merits and memory. The limits of this- 
 article do not permit a record of his family and social connections, or of his 
 editorial life. He has written a great deal. It has been valuable and enter- 
 taining, and much of it profound and bright in thought and classical in 
 language. But of this it is not intended to speak in this notice. They may 
 be found elsewhere. The effort here has been to write of that great and rare 
 gift of oratory for which he is so justly celebrated. The engraving accom- 
 panying this sketch was made from a photograph taken after he was 80 years 
 of age. His most estimable wife died in 1875. He has three married 
 daughters living, whose solicitude for his comfort, and veneration for his pa- 
 rental affection, are praiseworthy. He is now living with one of them, Mrs. 
 George Hall, at Ogdensburg, where he says, in a letter to the writer, " I am 
 treated like a Prince here." That is as it should be. The veteran orator, 
 writer, and scholar deserves to be treated like a prince during what remains 
 of a long life, valuable in worth and achievement to his friends and the com- 
 munity. 
 
 Cyrus H. Stone came from EUisburgh to Sackets Harbor in 1835; was ad- 
 mitted in 1836. He married a daughter of John M. Canfield, in March, 
 1838, and died in October, 1838. He had fine ability, but poor health. A 
 few months before his death he left the law and went into mercantile busi- 
 ness. 
 
 Jasper W. Gilbert was a son of Marenus W. Gilbert, who for years was one 
 of the most prominent and influential men in the county. After his admis- 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 85 
 
 sion he removed to Rochester, and practiced law there for a number of years. 
 Then he removed to Brooklyn, where, after a few years, he was elected a 
 judge of the Supreme Court, and was continued in that office until disqual- 
 ified by the constitution. 
 
 Joshua Moore came from Plattsburgh, or in that vicinity, and after his ad- 
 mission located in Brownville. He took Judge Mason's place as partner of 
 Ruger, and for sometime kept his office in Brownville and Ruger's in Water- 
 town, and alternated between them. Upon the death of Ruger he removed 
 to Watertown, into Ruger's office. For several years he was comparatively un- 
 known, and had little business ; and when bis ability became known, through 
 his management of an important litigation, of which he had charge, his 
 business and his reputation suddenly and rapidly increased. He was the first 
 district attorney elected under the constitution of 1846. He had previously, 
 and in February, 1846, been appointed district attorney. He was succeeded 
 by James F. Starbuck, January i, 185 1. In 1852 he formed a copartner- 
 ship with Levi H. Brown, under the name of Moore & Brown. He died in 
 1854. It is doubtful whether a more able young lawyer, one of more influ- 
 ence, or who commanded more respect for his legal and social qualities, was 
 ever located in Jefferson County. The writer was a cotemporary of his, well 
 and intimately acquainted with him, and speaks from personal observation. 
 
 Randolph Barnes was born and studied law in Lewis County. He came 
 to Watertown and was admitted in 1839. Fo"" ^ t'™^ he was a popular and 
 successful lawyer, but he was so constituted that he could not do office work. 
 He was at home only in the excitement of a trial. After a few years he 
 located some where in the West, in farming and cattle business. Failing in 
 this he returned to Watertown for awhile, and then went to New York and 
 commenced the practice of law under the most favorable circumstances. 
 But it was not many years before, his habits being such, that he lost his 
 business, and in abject poverty returned to Watertown, where he soon died. 
 
 John Henry Button was a son of Rev. Nathaniel Button, of Champion. 
 He studied law in the office of Lansing & Sherman, and remained there after 
 his admission until he formed a copartnership with F. W. Hubbard. He 
 was elected justice of the peace, and held the office for a number of years, 
 which, in connection with the insurance business, gave him a competence. 
 He never married. He died finally of consumption, with which he suffered 
 for a long time. 
 
 Charles B. Wright was a step-son of Bernard Bagley, and immediately 
 after his admission they went into partnership, and so continued till Wright 
 was elected judge in November, 1859. The business was all done in the 
 name of Charles B. Wright, as attorney. They did a very extensive busi- 
 ness, having often a majority of the causes on the calendar. Mr. Bagley 
 was the trial lawyer, and Wright took charge of the practice. He was prob- 
 ably the best office lawyer and practitioner ever in the county. His industry 
 and long experience, and mental adaptation to that branch of business, gave

 him that reputation at the bar. He held the office of county judge -two 
 terms. Since that he has lived in comparative retirement, and is now living 
 in good health and holding a high position in society, and has the respect 
 of the whole community. 
 
 George W. Butterfield, admitted the same year, was born in Rodman, 
 studied law in Watertown, and practiced here a short time, and then removed 
 to St. Louis, Mo., subsequently locating in New York, where he died. 
 
 Wooster Sherman resided in Watertown, and for years was a successful, 
 banker. He studied law and got admitted, it is said for the sole purpose 
 of suing his own notes. He never practiced any otherwise. He is now liv- 
 ing in Syracuse. 
 
 William C. Thompson was in Judge Chittenden's office at Adams, m 1840. 
 He removed to Watertown, and did a fair business ; was elected county judge 
 in the fall of 1851, and held the office four years from January i, 1852, and 
 was reelected for another term of four years. He became interested in a 
 purchase of a tract of land in North Watertown, to be laid out for city lots, 
 and was principally engaged in that business during the rest of his life. 
 
 George Camp, admitted in 1839, was a son of Elisha Camp, of Sackets 
 Harbor. He practiced the profession very little ; was principally engaged in 
 the vast business of his father. He married a daughter of the late WilHam 
 Smith, of this village, and died, leaving his widow and an interesting family 
 surviving him. 
 
 Stephen G. Dodge was a brother of the late Judge Edwin Dodge, of Gouv- 
 erneur. He practiced very little in this county. It is said he now resides 
 in Ulica. 
 
 Allen Nims was a graduate of Union College; was a great student, of ex- 
 tensive reading, but had not the practicable knowledge or tact to succeed in 
 the legal profession. 
 
 Of Joseph Brackett, admitted in 1842, nothing is known. 
 
 George R. Fairbanks, admitted in 1843, was a son of Jason Fairbanks, of 
 Watertown. He graduated at Union College in 1839; studied in the office 
 of Joseph MuUin. Soon after he was admitted. He left this county and 
 took up his residence in Florida, where he has resided ever since. 
 
 David J. Wager was admitted the same year ; was a son of Joseph Wager, 
 brother of W. W. Wager, of Brownville, and Daniel Wager, of Rome. He 
 resided and practiced law in the village of Philadelphia, where he died, leav- 
 ing a son to take his place in the profession, who is said to be an intelligent 
 and promising young man. 
 
 Of Gould T. Curtis, admitted in 1843, nothing has been learned. 
 
 Eugene C. Leis studied in the office of Bagley & Wright. He was a 
 Frenchman, and half brother of Edward Leis, who was employed in Le Ray's 
 office. He was a bright, intelligent young man. Soon after his admission 
 he left the country, and it was said that he went to some of the Southern 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 87 
 
 States. He remained in this county till after 1845, but did nothing at the 
 practice of the law. 
 
 Wellington W. Biitterfield was a native of Watertown ; studied law with 
 La.nsing & Sherman, and after his admission went to Niagara County, where 
 he resided the last heard from him. He was accurate and methodical in 
 business. George C. Sherman selected him from among his students to take 
 charge of his private books and accounts in an office kept separate from his 
 law office. 
 
 John F. Hutchinson had, for several years before his admission, taught 
 a private school in Watertown. He was a very popular and efficient teacher. 
 He was appointed postmaster in 1840, and after the death of Harrison he 
 followed the fortunes of John Tyler. He, in fact, was the " John Tyler " of 
 this section of country. During the time he formed a copartnership with 
 Alonzo M. Watson, which continued three or four years, and until Watson 
 became president of a Fourier association, and Hutchinson's term of office ex- 
 pired. He was a large, tall, and powerful man physically, and of considera- 
 ble ability. But under a terrible domestic calamity he lost his nerve, pined 
 away, and died of grief. It is difficult to describe the character of this man. 
 He was a great and somewhat boisterous egotist, always talking of himself; 
 yet of a kind heart, and charity for all, He will ever be remembered by 
 those who knew him. 
 
 Marcus Bickford, admitted in 1840, resided at Carthage. He became a 
 partner of Judge Hiram Carpenter, and was an able and successful practi- 
 tioner. He continued the practice there until the gold excitement in Cali- 
 fornia broke out, when he left, and spent sometime in the gold mines. He 
 returned with a full purse, married, and settled down again to the practice. 
 He was taken with inflammatory rheumatism, which lasted him through life, 
 and interfered with his professional duties. He was justice of the peace for 
 many years, and edited a paper for some time. His constitution finally 
 yielded to his disease, and after much suffering he died. 
 
 William A. Forward studied in Lansing & Sherman's office, was admitted 
 in 1840, and went with Isaac H. Bronson as clerk of his court to Florida, 
 and permanently resided there. 
 
 Eleazer W. Lewis studied in the office of F. W. Hubbard, and remained 
 there after his admission. He then went to Depauville, or La Fargeville, 
 where he had been a merchant, thence to and resided in Sackets Harbor for 
 some time, and finally removed to some of the Western states. 
 
 Lawrence J. Goodale, a resident of Watertown, was admitted in t84o.

 ted in 1846, and practiced law in Watertown until 1850, when he left the

 profession and went into the newspaper publishing business, which he has 
 followed ever since. His history belongs to that of the press. 
 
 Edwin Clark was a nephew of C. E. & John Clarke, and was born in Say- 
 brook, Conn. When about seven years of age he came to Watertown, lived 
 with his uncle John, and studied in his office. He also attended the law 
 school at Albany, and was admitted in 1844. Sometime afterwards he 
 removed to Ogdensburg, and opened a law office there. He was bright and 
 intelligent, with every prospect of becoming a successful lawyer, but he died 
 before arriving at maturity. 
 
 Richard S. Hunt was a native of Watertown, and a printer and editor by 
 trade, until rather late in life. He finally studied law in the office of Ran- 
 dolph Barnes, and was admitted in 1844. He soon thereafter married and 
 removed to Gouverneur, and opened an office there. Not being very success- 
 ful he removed to Texas, where he formerly lived. He was reported to have 
 died many years ago. 
 
 John P. Brown was a native of Brownville, and a cousin of Lysander H. 
 Brown, under whom he prepared for college. He graduated at Union Col- 
 lege in 1842, studied law in Judge MuUin's office, and after his admission 
 became a partner, and remained so till his death. He died of congestive 
 fever in February, 1847. He was a young man of more than ordinary ability, 
 and possessed those traits to an eminent degree requisite for a successful 
 lawyer. 
 
 James R. A. Perkins was a son of Charles Perkins, the well known and 
 popular proprietor of Perkins Hotel in Watertown. He was admitted in 
 1844, and opened an office at Three Mile Bay, where he practiced law until 
 1852. He was elected to the office of surrogate, and removed to Watertown 
 and entered upon the duties of that office January i, 1852. He was reelected

 Joseph Curtis Pattridge, a resident of Watertown, graduated at Union Col- 
 lege, studied law in the office of Sterling & Bronson, was admitted in 1839, 
 and practiced law until 1848. He was for several years master in chancery. 
 In 1848 he was appointed paymaster in the army that went to Mexico, with 
 the rank of major. At the close of the war he returned and went into the 
 milling business for a few years, during which time he purchased a lirge tract 
 of land in Minnesota, and was about leaving to reside there when he died of 
 a /ever supposed to have been contracted in Mexico. He was noted for his 
 literary attainments and great social qualities. 
 
 Isaac Van Vleek, * admitted in 1845, resided at Sackets Harbor, where, for 
 a number of years, he practiced law, and was known throughout the county 
 as a prominent Democratic politician, and frequently represented his party 
 as a delegate to county conventions. He subsequently left the county, and 
 his residence since has not been ascertained.

BENCH AND BAR. 
 
 Luther J. Dorwin * has been a member of the Jefferson County bar longer 
 than any man living except Judge Wright. He has been in constant active 
 practice 46 years ; and it is no reflection upon the very able men of that bar, 
 to say that he has stood in the front rank of the profession among them. 
 He is an industrious student, as well as an alert and successful practitioner. 
 He loves the law. His trained brain delights to pry into its depths, to cull 
 its golden treasures, and unravel its intricacies. If a question of law pre- 
 sents itself he applies it to foundation principles for solution. Nothing is 
 sound with him till he finds the base on which it rests. 
 
 Mr. Dorwin has a birth-right residence in this county. In mind and body 
 he is a sturdy product of the Champion hills, having been born in that town 
 May 13, 1820. Coming through a line of robust, energetic New England ances- 
 try he inherits the powerful physical and intellectual qualities of his progenitors. 
 His father, Hubby Dorwin, was a native of Vermont, and his mother, whose 
 maiden name was Elizabeth Jones, was born in Champion, her parents hav- 
 ing removed to that town not long previously from New Hampshire. Dor- 
 win has been a prevalent name in Vermont since the early history of the 
 state. Two brothers of that name came from England to the Green Mount- 
 ain region away back in colonial times. One settled there, and hence the 
 name and the race in this country. The other wandered elsewhere, and, it is 
 said, never was heard of afterwards. 
 
 Luther J. Dorwin commenced acquiring the rudiments of education while 
 very young at the district school in Champion. In the course of a few 
 years he attended a select school in Denmark, and also one in his native 
 town, until October, 1834, when he entered the Champion Academy, then 
 under charge of Lysander H. Brown as principal. Here his studies were 
 principally the languages and mathematics. He pursued them with remark- 
 able persistence and earnestness, and mastered them thoroughly. When Mr. 
 Brown left the academy, in April, 1838, young Dorwin went to Union Col- 
 lege, entering that grand old seat of learning the same month. Here he 
 maintamed the highest grade of scholarship throughout. He graduated in 
 July, 1840, and immediately entered the law office of Lansing & Sherman, 
 in preparation for the practice of the law. In October, however, at the earn- 
 est solicitation of the trustees, he became principal of the academy in 
 which he prepared for college. He was a comparative youth, and the task 
 appeared a severe one; but with that spirit of fearlessness which an un- 
 swerving determination to succeed always begets, he took hold of the work, 
 and made it an encouraging success — profitable to himself and his patrons. 
 
 In 1842 he returned to his law studies ; and in January, 1844, he was ad- 
 mitted to the practice of his profession. He was then ready for his life work ; 
 and he was not only well read in the law, but he was a most thorough and 
 
 * This sketch of Mr. Dorwin was written by Lysander H. Brown, at the request of 
 the publisher.

 finished scholar in the classical and scientific branches taught in the schools. 
 His mental discipHne had been unusually severe ; and mental discipline is 
 what makes strong lawyers. In a comparatively short time after his admis- 
 sion he was largely occupied in conducting important and comphcated 
 equity cases. He has also been extensively and successfully engaged 
 through all his practice in real estate contests, being a first-class real estate 
 lawyer, a proficient in the settlement of estates, and an expert and skilled 
 accountant. For a series of years his principal and most formidable oppo- 
 nent in sharp, severe legal contests was the veteran and learned lawyer, John 
 Clarke, in his life time. 
 
 Mr. Dorwin's opinions, whether in law or otherwise, are formed after thor- 
 ough investigation ; and when formed they are stoutly and courageously 
 maintained, apparently without the least regard to popular approval. But 
 this notice would not be at all complete without a reference to his peculiar 
 forte in preparing causes for argument, and in the argument. His briefs are 
 profound expositions of the laws applicable to the cases in hand ; and his 
 opponents in the argument are left with no standing in court, unless their po- 
 sitions are impregnable to attack. He has had an extensive practice in this 
 Hne in the courts of the state, and he has won many notable and decisive 
 triumphs. And in all his work he is a man of dispatch. If he undertakes a 
 task it is not allowed to linger after it should be performed. 
 
 Mr. Dorwin is yet industriously engaged in the business of his profession. 
 He is in general good health, and in the full vigor of his intellectual faculties. 
 Profound learning and ample experience render his legal opinions sound and 
 reliable. They are especially so estimated among his professional associates. 
 
 Augustus D. B. Goodale was a native of VVatertown, son of Joseph Good- 
 ale, a leading druggist of that village, and a brother of Lawrence J. Goodale. 
 He was well educated, and was admitted to the Common Pleas in 1845. 
 After his admission he left this county, and resided for a number of years in 
 some of the Southern states. He finally returned to Watertown, where, with 
 the exception of the '' D. B.," he now resides, engaged in his profession, 
 advertising as a conveyancer and loaner of money. 
 
 William A. Gilbert resided in Adams; was admitted in 1846. He was

 ticed law to any extent. 
 
 Merritt Andrus studied law in the office of Judge MuUin; was admitted in 
 1846, but never opened an office as an attorney. He went into business 
 with Walter N. Woodruff, and finally alone, and so continues to this day. 
 He is one of the leading merchants and business men of the city of Water- 
 town. 
 
 Stephen J. Hubbard, son of Hiram Hubbard, of Champion, studied law 
 in the office of Hubbard & Button, and afterwards became a partner of Hon.

 In a few years thereafter he retired from the practice, and has ever since and 
 now resides in Champion. 
 
 Richard Ely was admitted during the same year, but of him nothing has been 
 ascertained. 
 
 Silas A. Webb is a native of this county, was admitted in 1846. He 
 soon after located in Three Mile Bay, practiced there for several years, 
 and became well known as a marine lawyer. He knew every part of a ves- 
 sel, and was engaged in the trial of many suits relating to vessels on account 
 of his ability to examine witnesses on such trials. He removed to Oswego, 
 where he now resides. 
 
 William A. Ely was a son of William Ely, a merchant, of Brownville. He

 but never practiced law to much extent. He was afterwards ordained as an 
 Episcopal clergyman. His health was poor, and he finally died of consump- 
 tion. 
 
 Samuel B. Starr was a native of Jefferson County, studied law in the ofifice 
 of John Clark, and upon the death of Harlow Emerson was clerk in the 
 office of Nathaniel P. Wardwell, as surrogate ; and after his death was clerk 
 for Calvin Skinner, county judge, acting as surrogate until the election of 
 Lysander H. Brown to that office, with whom he remained about two years, 
 after which he left and resided in some of the Western states. His practice 
 of the law in this county was very limited. 
 
 Samuel Wardwell was a son of Daniel Wardwell and resided in Adams. 
 He was admitted in 1847, but never practiced law to any amount. He went 
 to, and now resides in, Rome, Oneida County, and is a banker. 
 
 Alexander Wilson was for a time a merchant here, as a partner of Roderick 
 Chittenden, in the boot and shoe business. He studied law with Lansing &

 in charge of their business. He left and went into the lumber business in 
 Canada, where he still resides so far as known. 
 
 Albert B. Gilbert resided in Watertown for several years; was admitted in 
 1847, but never practiced. He went to Rome and engaged in the ready- 
 made clothing business, and has never since resided in Jefferson County. 
 
 Laban H. Ainsworth resided in Cape Vincent. After his admission he 
 practiced law there for many years. He finally removed to Watertown, was 
 active in getting up the city charter, and was the first recorder of the city,

 justice of the peace, which office he held for several years. During the past 
 year he has removed to and now resides in the city of Rochester. 
 
 Charles W. Rogers resided at Adams at the time of his admission to the 
 bar. He studied law in Utica, in the office of James Watson Williams, reg- 
 ister in chancery. He came thence to Adams, and was admitted in 1848.

 WiUiara L. Sherman was distantly related to George C. and Wooster Sher- 
 man, and a nephew of John A. Sherman. He had some practice, but was 
 unpopular with the profession, and an attempt was made to debar him, as 
 appears from the record. He finally disappeared from the records of the 
 court. 
 
 Albert B. Hawes resided at Belleville. He was a brother of Edward B. 
 Hawes, and was an associate justice of the Sessions, but it is not known of 
 his practicing law to any extent. He died several years since. 
 
 Lyman E. Boomer was a graduate of Union College, and a resident and 
 native of Ellisburgh. He studied law in Judge Mullin's ofiice. He was a 
 man of wealth, and it is not now known of his practicing law to any extent 
 in this county. He also died several years since. 
 
 George A. Gates was born in Rodman, graduated at Union College in 
 1840, studied law in John Claike's office, and was admitted in 1843. Soon 
 after he was admitted he was afflicted with a peculiar disease, and he visited 
 many eminent physicians for a remedy, but found none. He quietly settled 
 down under his paternal roof, and remained there till he died. 
 
 Charles E. Clarke was a native of Saybrook, Conn., was a graduate of Yale 
 College, studied law in Greene County, came to Jefferson County, and was ad- 
 mitted as an attorney in 1815, and resided in Watertown. He at once took 
 a prominent position at the bar. In 1825 his brother, John Clarke, having 
 studied in his office, was admitted, and soon thereafter the two brothers 
 formed a copartnership under the name of C. E. & J. Clarke, and continued 
 until about the year 1848. About 1830, or a little later, he purchased a 
 grist-mill, saw-mill, and distillery at the Great Bend, most, if not all, of which 
 was formerly owned by Angel Potter. His time thereafter was mostly spent 
 there, except during the terms of the courts, when he came to and assisted 
 his brother in the preparation and trial of causes. He took the leading part 
 until after 1840, and in important cases till 1848. He was elected to the 
 Assembly in 1839 and 1840, and in 1848 was elected to Congress. The 
 various attainments of Mr. Clarke, his wit, humor, and eloquence, have left 
 an impression upon the judicial history of this county which will long remain- 
 He was a genius, and taking him all in all he never had his equal in this 
 county, if he had in the state. He died in 1863, at the age of 74 years. His 
 humor was probably inherited, for, it is said, that he and his brother John 
 visited their aged father in Connecticut. The father was then over 80 
 years of age. As they were about leaving Charles E., in a very pathetic 
 tone, said to his father that they were all growing old, that he and John lived 
 a great way off, and that it was probable they should never meet again. The 
 
 father replied that he had read a good many papers and accounts of deaths 
 
 that he very seldom saw an account of the death of a man of his age. 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 93 
 
 Robert Lansing was a son of Sanders and Catharine Lansing, and was 
 born at Albany, February 2, 1799. He was a member of Union College, 
 but for some reason did not remain there and graduate. In 1817 he came 
 to Watertown and entered the law office of Egbert Ten Eyck, and was ad- 
 mitted in 1820. In June, 1826, he was appointed district attorney for the 
 county of Jefferson, which office he held until February, 1833, when he was 
 succeeded by George C. Sherman. He was elected to the state Senate in 
 November, 1831, and held that office four years from January i, 1832. He 
 was then succeeded by Micah Sterling. Mr. Lansing was again elected to the 
 state Senate. I don't know the precise year, but he was the immediate 
 -successor of Ashley Davenport. He said he was nominated by the 
 Democratic Union. On December 22, 1831, he married Maria Hub- 
 bard, the eldest daughter of Noadiah Hubbard, of Champion. She died 
 in the year 1839, leaving one child surviving, now so well and favor- 
 ably known in the profession as John Lansing. On February 2, 1841, he 
 married Cornelia Hubbard, the second daughter of Noadiah Hubbard. Soon 
 after the expiration of his senatorial term he formed a copartnership with 
 George C. Sherman, under the name of Lansing & Sherman. In February, 
 1845, he was again appointed district attorney, and held the office for one 
 year, when he resigned. In June, 1847, he was elected county judge under 
 the constitution of 1846, which office he held until January i, 1852. At the 
 expiration of this office he practically retired from the profession, except to 
 act as referee, which for many years he was afterwards called upon to do. 
 He died October 3, 1878, aged nearly 80 years. He was thoroughly imbued 
 with the principles of the law, unostentatious of his great legal learning, and 
 of scrupulous integrity. He was a fluent speaker, and logical and clear in his 
 -arguments. After his partnership with Mr. Sherman he seldom took the 
 lead in the trial or argument of causes ; but the writer has heard him on sev- 
 •eral occasions in important cases, and can confirm the traditional reputation 
 of his earlier years. 
 
 George C. Sherman was born in Providence, R. I., December 14, 1799, 
 and came to this county at an early day. He worked when a boy for David 
 W. Bucklin, and developing at an early age uncommon ability, Mr. Bucklin 
 took him into his office as a law student. He was admitteil to practice in 
 1823, and formed soon thereafter a partnership with Mr. Bucklin, which con- 
 tinued until the latter left for New York. On January 3, 1828, he married 
 Mary Ann Hubbard, the third daughter of Noadiah Hubbard, of Champion, 
 who now survives him. In 1833 he was appointed district attorney, which 
 office he held till February, 1840. In 1843 he was appointed one of the 
 judges of the Common Pleas, which office he held until July, 1847, when the 
 constitution of 1846 went into effect. He was elected to the state Senate in 
 the fall of 1843, and held the office for two years from the first day of Jan- 
 uary then next. He early speculated in land, buying a large tract at from 
 Iwo to three dollars per acre, and commenced selling immediately at $8. 
 
94 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 The firm of Lansing & Sherman did a very extensive law business. In 1842 
 he had a separate office for his private business, and put Wellington W. But- 
 terfield, one of his students, into that office to take charge of the same. In 
 1838 he organized a bank under the laws of the state of New York, named 
 the Watertown Bank and Loan Co., and kept it in force till about 1848, when 
 he practically abandoned the law and devoted his whole time to banking, and 
 continued that until he died. He accumulated a large fortune, which he left 
 to his family, to be divided between his widow and five children equally- 
 Taken in all things he was the ablest lawyer in this county. He had no su- 
 perior in the examination of witnesses. It was said no witness under his 
 examination could avoid telling the truth. His perceptions were quick and 
 keen. He had an intuitive knowledge of the nature of men, and of their 
 motives and methods of thought. He was not so great a student of law, de- 
 pending mostly upon the briefs of his partner, Mr. Lansing, which he would 
 apply to advantage at all times. He had great energy and flow of spirits, the 
 force of which in the trial was almost irresistible. Much might be said of his 
 general business capacity ; but we are here to speak only of him as a law- 
 yer. The five men, Sherman, Chittenden, Bagley, C. E. and J. Clarke, at 
 the time cotemporaries, could not be equalled by any five men in any other 
 county in the state. He died April 23, 1863. 
 
 Isaac H. Bronson was born in Rutland, the son of Ethel Bronson, and 
 studied law in the office of Micah Sterling. Soon after his admission, in 
 1833, he formed a copartnership with Mr. Sterling, and this firm of Sterling 
 & Bronson was famous throughout the county. He was a very able lawyer, 
 and down to 1836 they were the leading law firm in this part of the state. 
 But in 1830 Micah Sterling was elected to the ."tate Senate, and Mr. Bronsort 
 to Congress, which broke up the firm, and, to a great extent, their business. 
 The subsequent history of Mr. Bronson is given elsewhere. 
 
 John Clarke, a brother of Charles E. Clarke, was born in Say brook, Conn.> 
 May I, 1799. He was not a graduate of any college, but had, neverthe- 
 less, a good education. He commenced the study of law in the office of Mr. 
 Anthon, of New York, and was in his office at the time he wrote his notes to 
 Shepard's Touchstone, and aided in looking up the authorities cited in that 
 work, and in writing the notes. He came to Watertown and entered the 
 office of his brother, Charles E. Clarke, about the year 1820. He was ad- 
 mitted in 1825, and soon thereafter formed a partnership with his brother 
 Charles E. In 1830 he married a daughter of William Smith, one of the 
 earliest residents of Watertown. He was appointed surrogate of Jefferson 
 County in February, 1840, which office he held till February, 1844. This is 
 the only office of any importance he ever held. He became a partner of De- 
 lano C. Calvin, about 1855, which continued until the winter of 1865. At 
 this time Mr. Clarke decided to abandon the business of an attorney and de- 
 vote himself exclusively to that of counsel. The firm was dissolved and the 
 attorney business passed over to Mr. Calvin. The last court Mr. Clarke ever 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 95 
 
 attended was the General Term at Syracuse, in April, 1865. He died about 
 two weeks thereafter. Mr. Clarke was a very peculiar man ; peculiar in his 
 habits, of mind and body ; a great student and intense thinker. He usually 
 came to his office at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and remained there 
 till five or six o'clock in the evening. Then he went home, eat for the first 
 time since morning, returned to his office, and, night after night, worked till 
 midn-'ght. His general health was good, yet in court and elsewhere, when 
 holding a paper, his hand would tremble as if he had the shaking palsy, so- 
 called. His mind was not affected. He was a clear and cogent reasoneron 
 facts and law before court or jury ; not a fluent speaker, yet his arguments 
 were always listened to with intense interest. His style was nervous, earnest, 
 and impressive ; often more eloquent in the thought than the diction. He 
 was fond of his garden and of his flowers. After working all night and until 
 daylight in his office he would go home and into his garden and work till 
 breakfast. He was a great reader of all kinds of literature. He was never 
 idle. A history of his life would not only be interesting, but instructive. 
 
 Bernard Bagley was born in Durham, Greene County, N. Y., November 5, 
 1791. He came to Jefferson County in 1812, first settling in the town of 
 Antwerp, teaching school and taking contracts for building roads. He is re- 
 puted to have held the office of constable in that town, in which his inclina- 
 tion to the legal profession was first developed. He came to Watertown in 
 i8r5 or 1816, and entered the law office of Charles E. Clarke, soon thereafter, 
 as a law student. It is said that for years he wai constantly engaged in the 
 trial of cases in justice's court, where his instinctive knowledge of human nat- 
 ure and shrewd management gained him a great reputation throughout the 
 county. In 1823 or 1824 he married a Mrs. Wright, a young widow, the 
 mother of Charles D. Wright, late judge, and now living in Watertown. He 
 was admitted in 1826, and the records of the next term of the court show 
 that he entered at once into an extensive practice, having sometimes as many 
 as 60 cases on the calendar. In 1839 Charles D. Wright was admitted, and, 
 becoming a partner, all the business of the office was done in his name there- 
 after. In 1849 ^^- Bagley was a member of the Assembly and chairman of 
 the judiciary committee. The partnership continued till Wright was elected 
 judge, in November, 1859. Mr. Bagley continued to practice as long as his 
 health would permit. He died June 26, 1878. He was one of the five noted 
 lawyers who were cotemporaries in this county. Mr. Bagley, in the trial of 
 the most intricate and lengthy cases, never had a brief or memorandum. Yet 
 he was never known to omit the least important fact or point on his side of 
 the case. His skill in the examination of witnesses, in getting the most hon- 
 est witness to testify to facts in his favor, and believe them though false in 
 fact, was wonderful, and was only exposed by the equally rigid cross-examina- 
 tion of George C. Sherman when he was his opponent. The history of the 
 professional life of Mr. Bagley would form an interesting volume. 
 
 Calvin Skinner for many years resided in Adams, studied law in the office 
 
g6 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 of Thomas C. Chittenden, and was admitted in 1826. He was master in 
 chancery, and held divers other small offices. In April, 1845, he was 
 appointed first judge of the Common Pleas of this county, and held the office 
 till July I, 1847. He continued the practice there until he died several years 
 since. Mr. Skinner was a sound and learned lawyer. He was not a promi- 
 nent jury advocate. His practice, and where he excelled, was in chancery; 
 and was somewhat noted for the ingenuity of his questions before an exam- 
 iner, all of which were required to be written. It is not known that he left 
 any descendants or relatives now residing in this county. 
 
 Joseph Mulhn was born in Ireland in September, 181 1, and came to this 
 country with his parents when very young, and resided in Brownville, where 
 he attended the common school for awhile. He worked in a printing office 
 a short time, setting type, with the view of becoming a printer; but the desire 
 for a higher education prevailed. With the assistance of friends he went to 
 the Union Academy at Belleville, where he prepared for college. He entered 
 the junior class in 183 1, and graduated in 1833. He then taught the 
 academy in Belleville and afterwards in Watertown a few years, and studied 
 law in the office of Sterling & Bronson, and was admitted in 1837. At this 
 time Sterling was in the state Senate, and Bronson in Congress. The whole 
 business of the office fell to the charge of Mr. MuUin, the duties of which he 
 discharged with ability. He at once took a prominent position at the bar, 
 the peer of the older members. N. P. Wardwell having married the daughter 
 of Mr. Sterling, the latter took him into partnership and Mr. Mullin opened 
 an office by himself. In 1845 he entered into a partnership with John P. 
 Brown, who had been a student in his office, and so continued until the 
 death of Brown in 1847. In the fall of 1847 he formed a copartnership with 
 Lawrence J. Goodale, which continued five years. After that he entered 
 into partnership with the present Justice Merwin, and so continued until he 
 was elected a justice of the Supreme Court in the fall of 1859. He was 
 reelected in the fall of 1867, and again in the fall of 1875. Having arrived 
 at the age of 70 years, his office, by the constitutional limitation, expired 
 December 31, 1881. He was district attorney for the county from February, 
 1843, to February, 1845. He was elected to the Thirtieth Congress in 
 1847 and served to 1849, and held several municipal offices during the time 
 he was at the bar. He died in June, 1882, while temporarily at Saratoga, 
 and his remains were brought to Watertown and interred in Brookside Cem- 
 etery. At a meeting of the bar of Jefferson County, held June 14, 1882, 
 resolutions were introduced by Lysander H. Brown, his school-mate at the 
 district school, his roommate at the academy and in college, accompanied 
 with an address, paying a just and eloquent tribute to his memory. The 
 resolutions and the address were published in the Watertown Times of June 
 15th, and were ordered to be entered, and are now on record, in the proceed- 
 ings of the court which was then in session. The history of Justice 
 Mullin is a matter of record. The eminent position he attained in the 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 97 
 
 judiciary sufficiently appears in the state reports, where it will remain for 
 generations to come, a fitting monument to his learning and ability. 
 
 James F. Starbuck was born in Cayuga County, N. Y., September 5, 1815, 
 and at an early day removed with his parents to Niagara County. In the 
 sprmg of 1839 he came to Watertown and entered the law office of Lansing 
 & Sherman, where he remained until he was admitted to the Common Pleas 
 in 1843, and to the Supreme Court in 1844. In 1845 he opened an office by 
 himself in Watertown. In 1846 he was elected a secretary of the convention 
 that formed the constitution of that year, and in November, 1850, was elected 
 district attorney, and held the office three years from January i, 1851. He 
 married Sarah Burchard, a daughter of Peleg Burchard, in May, 1855, who 
 died in 1857, leaving a daughter surviving her — now the wife of E. S. Goodale, 
 a merchant in Watertown. In 1861 he married Mrs. Boyer, the widow of 
 Judge Joseph Boyer, who now survives. In i860 he was a candidate for 
 Congress, but was defeateil. In 1876 he was elected to the state Senate, 
 from the district comprising Jefferson and Lewis counties. He died Decem- 
 ber 20, 1S80. The political history cf Mr. Starbuck may be found in a his- 
 tory of New York with an encyclopedia of biography of prominent men in 
 the state, published by W. J. Comley, in 1877, which also contains his htho- 
 graph. We are here concerned with his professional histoiy, character, and 
 standing only. His election to the office of district attorney enabled him to 
 develop his great ability in the trial of causes, especially before juries, and he 
 at once took a leading position in jury cases in the countv, his main com- 
 petitors being John Clarke during his life, and Levi H. Brown thereafter. 
 He was from an early day laborious in his profession. In special cases he 
 was probably one of if not the most powerful advocates before a jury ever 
 in the county. His efforts were not uniform. Only in those special cases 
 adapted to his temperament and his methods of thought did he excel his 
 cotemporaries. His long habit of, and thorough preparation and study in, 
 preparing to argue facts before a jury somewhat disquahfied him from excell- 
 ing in the argument of questions of law before the court. But he excelled 
 in that which was the great object and ambition of his early life. 
 
 Levi H. Brown was born in the town of Lorraine, March 25, 1818. His 
 father, Aaron Brown, was a wealthy farmer and a prominent citizen of that 
 town. When 19 years of age Levi H. commenced to obtain an education, 
 and prepared for college at the Belleville Academy. He entered Union Col- 
 lege in 1841, and graduated in 1843; studied law in the office of Judge 
 Jones in Schenectady, and in the office of Calvin Skinner at Adams, and was 
 admitted in 1846. He practiced in Adams until June i, 1852, when he re- 
 moved to Watertown and formed a partnership with Joshua Moore under the 
 name of Moore & Brown. This firm, under the lead of Mr. Moore, did a 
 large business. Mr. Moore died in April, 1854, when Mr. Brown formed a 
 partnership with Allen C. Beach, under the name of Brown & Beach. Upon 
 the death of Mr. Moore the responsibility of a large and important business- 
 
98 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 devolved upon Mr. Brown, and he in all respects proved equal for the occa- 
 sion. This firm did a large and increasing business until 1871, when Mr. 
 Beach was elected lieutenant-governor, and the firm dissolved. Mr. Brown 
 has since and now practices alone, except for a short time, when he was in 
 company with Mr. Gipsonnow in Minnesota, and S. S. Trowbridge. He held 
 many local offices — supervisor, mayor, etc. Here we are to record princi- 
 pally his professional life as a prominent member of the bar of Jefferson 
 County for more than 40 years. Of the vast business he has done, and the 
 intense and untiring labor he has performed, much might be written. 
 
 His cases were thoroughly prepared, and his arrangement and presenta- 
 tion of the facts and evidence to the jury were unexcelled. He entered upon 
 the trial of case after case at the circuit with strength and vigor. His pre- 
 sentation of his case to the jury was clear and logical. He has a smooth and 
 pleasant voice, and is a fluent speaker, and exercised a great influence over 
 juries. Mr. Brown has been, not only a good jury lawyer, but is equally able 
 in the argument of cases on appeal in the higher courts. After John Clarke 
 the writer has never met a more formidable adversary in the appellate court. 
 Mr. Brown is now at work with apparently all the mental and physical vigor 
 and strength he had 30 years ago, having apparently many years of labor and 
 usefulness still before him. He does little in law business as attorney, but 
 still retains his practice as counselor. His private business occupies nearly 
 all his time and attention. 
 
 Edmund B. Wynn's first appearance in Watertown was as a student in the 
 office of James F. Starbuck. He was admitted in 1846, and soon thereafter 
 opened an office at Three Mile Bay, and practiced there till about 1852, when 
 he removed to Watertown, and established an office here, where he has 
 practiced ever since. He very soon became an attorney for the Rome & 
 Watertown Railroad, and has continued and is now such attorney. He was 
 for sometime a partner of Denis O'Brien, now a judge of the Court of Ap- 
 peals, and also of Wilber F. Porter, but for several years last past has been 
 alone. He was a candidate for the office of justice of the Supreme Court in 
 the sth district a few years since. He is now possessed of a vigorous con- 
 stitution and good health, and is eminent as a railroad attorney. 
 
 Denis O'Brien was born in Ogdensburg, March 13, 1837. The events of 
 his life have become a subject of public history. Though the positions he 
 has held, and now holds, entitle him to a prominent place in the official 
 records of the state, yet in the history of his adopted county, where the germ 
 of his future success was developed, it is proper that a brief sketch of his life, 
 character, and ability should be recorded. He was favored by nature with a 
 strong physical constitution and equable temperament, which properly di- 
 rected impart great intellectual strength. Thus endowed he early entered upon 
 the realities of life with a determination to succeed. He studied law in the 
 office of Messrs. Meyers & Magone, of Ogdensburg ; was admitted to the 
 bar in May, 1861 ; and in November of that year removed to Watertown to 
 
// 
 
BENCH AND BAR. 99 
 
 reside permanently. From that time his business, and reputation in his pro- 
 fession, gradually increased. From 1869 he was an alderman in the city for 
 some four years, and afterwards was elected mayor. His judicious man- 
 agement of these offices won the respect and confidence of the substantial 
 portion of the city's population. His success in his profession gave him a 
 high local reputation through the county. In 1880 he succeeded the late 
 James F. Starbuck as a member of the State Democratic Committee. This 
 gave him an opportunity of extending his reputation for ability and fidelity 
 beyond the bounds of his county and generally over the state ; and he im- 
 proved it. For four years he held this position. In November, 1883, he 
 was elected attorney-general and reelected in November, 1885, his term of 
 office terminating January 1, 1888. His administration as state's attorney 
 for this great commonwealth established confidence in his thorough capabil- 
 ity and integrity with all parties throughout the state. In 1889 he remained 
 at home, during which time it became evident that public opinion was tend- 
 ing towards his nomination by the Democratic party for judge of the Court 
 of Appeals. This seems to have been conceded on account of his exalted 
 though comparatively brief public service. When the state convention met 
 he was nominated with remarkable unanimity. The nomination was ratified 
 by the people at the election by a large majority; and he has now entered 
 upon the discharge of the duties of his dignified and responsible position. 
 It is not only heartily desired, but universally believed, that he will discharge 
 his high judicial duties with credit to himself and honor to the already 
 exalted standing of the Court of Appeals. 
 
 In concluding this sketch of the bench and bar of Jeiferson County the 
 writer concedes that there may be therein many errors, both of fact and of 
 judgment. But the facts have been gathered from the best and most reli- 
 able sources in his reach. The character of the judges and members of the 
 bar, so far as it has been written, has been derived from tradition, and from 
 the record, when the individual was not personally known ; and no exemption 
 from error is claimed in the delination of character even where personally 
 known. 
 
 The sketch properly ends at the adoption of the constitution of 1846. By 
 that instrument the whole organization of our judicial system was changed, 
 and from that time a new era in the practice and administration of the law 
 commenced. Though over 40 years have passed since that time, yet from 
 the records now so v/ell kept, and the printed calendars required at every 
 term of the Supreme Court, a history of the bench and bar from that time is 
 comparatively an easy task. It is a history that should be written and pre- 
 served before many more years pass away. 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 THE PRESS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 WATERTOWN. 
 
 The pioneer newspaper in Jefferson County bore the high-soaring name of 
 American Eagle. It was established in Watertown in 1809, by Henry Cof- 
 feen. It was printed by Abram Taylor, Jr., and was Republican in politics, 
 supporting the administration of President Madison. Judge Coffeen was one 
 of the first settlers of Watertown, and possessed large influence. Where the 
 materials on which the Eagle was printed were obtained is unknown, but it 
 is not unlikely that they were the same employed in the publication of the 
 Black River Gazette, established at Martinsburg, Lewis County, in 1807. 
 The journal last named was a short-lived venture ; its publisher, James B. 
 Robbins, removed to Watertown, and it is probably fair to presume that the- 
 press found its way here. The Martinsburg paper, it is believed, was the 
 first one in Northern New York west of the Adirondacks. Of the Eagle and 
 its conductors nothing more is known than has been stated. In January, 
 1812, Jarius Rich, who had read law in Massachusetts and been admitted to 
 practice, but whose license had been revoked in consequence of his partici- 
 pation in a broil in a justice's court, purchased the establishment from Cof- 
 feen, changed the name of the paper to the American Advocate, and con- 
 tinued in it until 1817. He appears to have been a man who had the cour- 
 age of his convictions, who freed his mind when he had anything to offer, and 
 who did not shrink from the consequences of his utterances. He was in the 
 Advocate in 1813, when Com. Perry won his brilliant victory on Lake Erie, 
 and naturally indulged in words of exultation. Referring to Perry's achieve- 
 ments he suggested that the " old cock," as he termed Com. Chauncey, then 
 in command of the small fleet on Lake Ontario, ought to follow Perr'ys ex- 
 ample. This enraged the Commodore, and he came straightway to Water- 
 town. Entering the office of the Advocate he inquired for the editor. Rich 
 told him he was the mm. The Commodore then said he had come all the 
 way from Sackets Harbor to obtain satisfaction, and proposed to cane him. 
 Thereupon Rich seized the Commodore and pitched him headlong to the 
 foot of the stairs. This ended the affair. In the spring of 18 17 Seth A 
 and Dorephus Abbey came to Watertown from Albany, and finding the 
 Advocate advertised for sale, by the sheriff, bought it, and, in connection with 
 John H. Lord, a journeyman printer, i\.a.ntd.\h^ Jefferson and Lewis Gazette. 
 This paper was continued till April, 1819, when Dorephus Abbey and Mr. 
 Lord went to Oswego, and S. A. Abbey started the Independent Republican, 
 continuing it till February, 1825, when the house and office of the publisher 
 were destroyed by fire, and the publication of the paper suspended. Pre- 
 vious to this date (January 27, 1824), and perhaps because the paper was 
 not sufficiently subservient to the Democratic leaders, the Watertown Free- 
 man was started by W. Woodward, who was backed by Perley Keyes. This

 paper continued till 1833, when its name was changed to the Democratic 
 Standard,\mAt\ which cognomen it was continued till July 19, 1835, when it was 
 united with the Watertovun Eagle, which last paper was started September u, 
 1832, by J. Calhoun.* The new paper was called the Eagle and Standard. 
 It was in the Eagle that Alvin Hunt made his d^but as editor. When the 
 two papers were consolidated Mr. Hunt took the interest of Mr. Calhoun, 
 when it was conducted by that gentleman and A. L. Smith. In October, 
 1836, Mr. Smith withdrew from the concert, and in November, 1837, the 
 name of the paper was changed to the Jeffersonian, and under that appella- 
 tion, and the Watertown Jeffersonian, the paper continued till united with 
 the Democratic Union. 
 
 T\vt Jeffersonian, under date of March 2, 1841, contained the following 
 account of a " talking machine," then being used in England. It tends to 
 the opinion that the telephone was in use long before the present instrument 
 was perfected: — 
 
 "KAILWAY TALKING MACHINE. 
 
 "A late English journal, in referring to the London and Blackwell Railroad, mentions a. 
 ' talking machine,' constructed with galvanic wires, by means of which conversation could be 
 carried on between London and Blackwell with the greatest ease and precision. By way of 
 illustrating the efficiency of this talking machine Mr. Stephenson said that he went to the 
 station in London one day to enquire for one of the assistants. He was not there, but the 
 attendant said that he could enquire if he was at the other end; he did so; in a few seconds 
 the answer was that he was not there. But about five minutes afterwards the talking machine 
 informed him in London that his assistant had arrived at the Blackwell terminus; upon which 
 he instructed the attendant to say by the same agency, ' Tell him to come here directly.' In 
 10 minutes he arrived, the distance being seven miles. If the distance were 100 miles the con- 
 versation could be carried on just as readily, for the conversation traveled at the rate of 20 
 miles a second." 
 
 December 5, 185 1, J. W. Tamblin became the associate of Mr. Hunt. 
 March 15, 1853, J. C. Hatch purchased Mr. Tamblin's interest, but resold 
 the same in the following September. A daily paper was issued from the 
 Jeffersonian office from May 10, 1851, till November, 1853. 
 
 August 29, 1846, the first number of the Democratic Union was issued: 
 Thomas Andrews and James Sivindells, publishers; Lysander H. Brown, 
 editor. . Swindells was in the paper only one week. April 15, 1847, Stephen 
 Martin became an associate pubhsher. September 2 John A. Haddock 
 succeeded Martin. In June, 1848, Mr. Brown withdrew from the paper, 
 J. C. Hatch taking his place, when the pohtics of the paper were changed from 
 the support of Cass to that of Van Buren for the presidency. It subsequently 
 passed into the hands of Charles A. Stevens and John A. Haddock. In the 
 great fire of May 14. 1849, the office was destroyed, but in two weeks the 
 publicatioa of the paper was resumed. September 12 Haddock became the 
 proprietor and publisher, and October 15, 1851, Lysander H. Brown again

 first newspaper in Chicago, called The Democrat.

 became connected with the paper, and continued with Haddock till Novem- 
 ber, when he became sole publisher. January 9, 1853, Messrs. L. H. Brown 
 and E. R. Pollard became the publishers. Mr. Brown continued in the con- 
 cern till 1854, when Haddock again obtained possession and soon after trans- 
 ferred it to Elon Comstock, who consolidated it with the Jeffersonian, styling 
 the combined papers the Jefferson Union. In December, 1855, Mr. Corn- 
 stock sold the Jefferson Union office to J. W. TarabUn, who, in May, 1 856, 
 sold two-thirds of the concern to J. A. Haddock and Royal Chamberlain, of 
 St. Louis. In the fall of 1856 E. J. Clark purchased this establishment, 
 and changed the name to Jefferson County Union, associating with him Royal 
 Chamberlain. Three years subsequently he purchased Chamberlain's interest 
 and was sole proprietor until January i, 1865, when he sold the paper to 
 R. A. Oakes. Previous to this time J. M. Sigourney, for a year or more, had 
 been employed to edit the paper in Mr. Clark's absence. 
 
 January 16, 1861, Hall & Bragdon started the Watertown Daily News, 
 which was merged in the Daily Reformer, January 20, 1862. At this time 
 the Weekly News was purchased and edited by J. W. Tamblin. January 
 19, 1865, Stephen Canfield purchased the interest of TambUn in the News, 
 and the paper was merged in the Jefferson County Union: S. Canfield & 
 Company, publishers; R. A. Oakes, editor. July i, 1865, Mr. Canfield 
 bought the interest of Mr. Oakes, who gave place to H. H. Young as editor. 
 The name of the paper was changed to The Democrat; and in August 
 Henry S. Munson bought the interest of Mr. Canfield and a daily was 
 started called the Daily Democrat, with Young and Munson, editors. It 
 was issued till February, 1866, when it, with the weekly edition, was 
 suspended. This left the Democracy without an organ. In May following, 
 however, Anson B. Moore purchased the plant, and, with H. H. Young as 
 editor, revived the Democrat. In 1868 A. H. Hall purchased the paper and 
 changed the name to the Re- Union, and continued the paper till 1870, when 
 he sold to George Moss and Walter A. Boon. In 1872 they started the 
 Morning Dispatch (daily), and it was continued by them, C. W. Havens, 
 
 C. J. Hynes, and others until May 7, 1881, when the plant was sold to 
 
 D. Kelley and Charles W. Clare, who run the daily one year, when Kelley 
 retired and the daily was discontinued. The Re-Union has since that time 
 been under the management of Mr. Clare, who has made it an entire success. 
 
 The Democratic press in this county has received its inspiration from 
 Jarius Rich, Alvin Hunt, Lysander H. Brown, E. J. Clark, Royal Chamber- 
 lain, and R. A. Oakes. The latter gentleman possesses fine literary talents 
 and never writes anything that is not written in the best manner. Mr. Cham- 
 berlain was a very fair writer; Mr. Clark is botli a ready writer and speaker. 
 He has never done much out of the line of purely party politics ; but he has 
 labored early and late in the service of the Democratic organization, and I 
 judge without much profit to himself. Mr. Hunt was decidedly a strong 
 writer, and made himself felt for nearly a quarter of a century; Lysander H.

 Brown, in his prime, was ready with his pen, and made an excellent speech 
 without preparation; while Mr. Rich, we judge, was one of the "rough and 
 ready " sort of men. Only one of these men, E. J. Clark, was a practical 
 printer, and it is a noteworthy fact that not one of them ever accumulated 
 any great amount of money out of the business, which is an evidence either 
 of unselfishness or want of financial tact. Mr. Clare is the first and only 
 individual connected with the Democratic press of this county who has made 
 anything out of his calling. I have given precedence to the Democratic press 
 because it is the oldest. The party has never been without an organ, except 
 for a brief time noted above. To-day that organ rests on a more secure 
 basis than at any previous period. 
 
 The anti-Masonic Press. 
 
 When the Abbeys came into possession of the America7i Advocate there 
 was very little party feehng. Mr. Monroe had been chosen president the 
 previous year, receiving 230 out of the 231 electoral votes cast. There was 
 little opposition to the Democratic, then styled Republican, party. That 
 little was chiefly local. It was therefore up-hill work for a purely party paper, 
 as were those which had been published in Watertown. So their paper 
 stopped at the end of two years. Another, however, was soon after started 
 by one of the firm, Seth A. Abbey, which was called the Independent Repub- 
 lican, probably because there were men of adverse pohtical views. This 
 paper, I judge, was the first one in Watertown which ventured to avow 
 sentiments antagonistic to the Republican organization, though there was 
 one at Sackets Harbor, established in 1817, which was undisguised in its 
 opposition to so-called Republicanism. 
 
 The Independent Republican was kept running till February, 1825, when 
 the office was burned, a period of nearly six years. The next year, October 
 19, 1826, Theron Parsons & Co. established Thursday s Post* and con- 
 tinued it until January 17, 1828, when H. L. Harvey purchased the estab- 
 lishment and changed the name of the paper to the Register. May i, 1830, 
 he took Benjamin Cory into partnership with him. Two weeks later the 
 name of the paper was changed to the Watertown Register and General Ad- 
 vertiser. In May, 183 1, Mr. Cory became sole proprietor. Up to this date 
 the paper had been neutral in politics, but soon after became the organ of 
 the party opposed to President Jackson. In the meantime — May, 1828 — 
 a paper was started which was called the 
 
 * It was in the office of the Post that the late Judge MuUin worked as an apprentice 
 several years, commencing in 1826. In 1828 Parsons started the Censor, at Adams, the 
 publication of which was continued six months at that place and then removed to Water- 
 town and the anti-Masonic paper in existence there, and published by Parsons or Harvey, 
 was discontinued. 
 
104 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Independent Republican and Anii- Masonic Recorder, which lasted until the 
 Censor was removed to Watertown from Adams, January, 1830, and was 
 called the 
 
 Watertown Censor, and was published by Abner Morton, was anti-Dem- 
 ocratic in politics. It was succeeded by the 
 
 Anti-Masonic Sun, which was published by Enoch Ely Camp. It was soon 
 changed and published 39 weeks, commencing December 19, 1830, by Dr> 
 R. Goodale, as 
 
 The Constellation. Subsequently it passed into the hands of Mr. Morton, 
 who called it the 
 
 Jefferson Reporter, and published it from September ii, 1832, till January 
 21, 1834, when he removed to Monroe, Michigan, taking his press with hira. 
 
 September 19, 1831, Mr. Cory dropped the words General Advertiser 
 from the title of his paper, and it appeared as the Watertown Register till 
 March 25, 1835, when it was changed to the North American, with John 
 Haxton, editor. Under this cognomen the paper continued until September, 
 1839, when H. S. Noble became the publisher, and restored the name of 
 Watertown Register. Noble kept in the Register xSA March 12, 1842, when 
 he sold to William Hough. On the 9th of April Hough sold to William 
 Welch, who conducted the paper until May 20, 1843, when he discontinued 
 it and started the Black River Journal.' Subsequently Joel Greene purchased' 
 a half interest in the concern, and the paper was continued two years (until 
 1845), when Welch sold out and went West. 
 
 In the spring of 1846 Greene commenced the publication of the Daily 
 Journal, ran it a short time, then changed it to the Watertown Tri- Weekly 
 Journal, and as such it was continued till August 26, 1846, when A. W. 
 Clark became the purchaser, and established the Northern State Journal. 
 Two years later George W. Smith and H. S. Noble became the publishers,, 
 the firm being styled Smith & Noble. John Fayel subsequently bought 
 into the concern, and was joined by A, W. Clark, Smith & Noble retiring. 
 In 1856 Clark & Fayel sold the paper to the "American party,'' but after a 
 few months it came back into their hands. 
 
 Clark & Fayel continued in the paper until July, 1863, when the partnership 
 was dissolved. Indeed Mr. Clark paid little attention to the paper after tak- 
 ing his seat in Congress in i86r.* When Mr.. Fayel retired from the paper 
 he took an office in the Postoffice Department at Washington, but failing 
 health compelled him to relinquish the same, and he died at Saratoga, where 
 he had gone m the hope of obtaining relief, July 12, 1864, at the age of 39- 
 years, and after a service of 12 years as associate editor of the JournaL 
 The paper then passed into the hands of J. Budlong and Orson L. Haddock. 
 After a few months, however. Haddock sold his interest to Budldng, and Bud-

 long sold the same to H. H. Smith, September 16, 1865, and under their 
 management \}a^ Journal was continued most of the time as a serai-weekly 
 until April i, 1867, when it was sold to Solon M. Hazen, and continued by 
 him until it was finally disposed of to the proprietors of the Reformer, May 
 15, i868,and the paper discontinued. In August 28, 1850, L. Ingalls, A. H. 
 Burdick, and L. M. Stowell started the New York Reformer, independent in 
 politics. Mr. Burdick retired from the paper October 16, 1851, and Mr. 
 Stowell left it March 11, 1858. From this dale to August 26, 1858, Mr. In- 
 galls had no partner. At that time John A. Haddock was taken into the 
 concern. March 22, i860, this notice appeared in the Reformer : — 
 
 "Hon. Beman Brockway, late of Oswego County, will hereafter be associated with the un- 
 dersigned in the conduct of this paper Ingalls & Haddock." 
 
 September 27, in the same year, Mr. Haddock retired from the paper, and 
 Isaac M. Beebee became interested in the same. He remained in the paper 
 until October 10, 1861, when he resigned to go to the war, and Ingalls and 
 Brockway became the publishers. December 17, 1863, Lafayette J. Bigelow 
 became connected with the paper and continued his interest therein until his 
 death, which occurred January 13, 1870. On the ist of June following 
 Charles R. Skinner came into the establishment as a partner, the firm name 
 being Ingalls, Brockway & Skinner. December i 2, 1873, Mr. Brockway pur- 
 chased the interest of Mr. Ingalls at public sale, and at private sale the in- 
 terest of Mr. Skinner the ist of August, 1874, since which time he has been 
 the editor of the paper, and he and his sons, J. W. and H. A. Brockway, 
 the proprietors of the establishment. 
 
 It will be seen that the array of names concerned in bringing into exist- 
 ence the Republican press in Watertown, and brmging up what is now the 
 Daily Times and Weekly Reformer, is large and respectable, to say the 
 least. Benjamin Cory was a solid man, both physically and intellectually. 
 H. S. Noble did good work. William Welch, who was the founder of the 
 old Black River Jpuriial, is a good deal of a man, and had he remained in 
 the paper would without doubt have made his mark here as he has else- 
 where. A. W. Clark, though never a strong writer, was a good newspaper 
 man, possessing a level head and a good heart. George W. Smith, who is 
 still living at his home in Herkimer, in his day excelled both as a speaker 
 and writer. John Fayel was one of the cleverest writers and best hearted 
 men ever connected with the press in this county. Lotus Ingalls's varied 
 talents are too well known to require special mention. Mr. Stowell wrote 
 pointedly and well. Mr. Haddock wields a ready pen, and, had he stuck to 
 journalism, could hardly have, failed to achieve credit. Lafayette J. Bigelow 
 was the readiest speaker Watertown has ever had, and he wrote well. Charles 
 R. Skinner is a rapid and excellent writer, and ought to have continued in 
 journalism and let offices alone. But he got into politics, somewhat acci- 
 dentally, and does not find it an easy thing to get out. The life-work of the 
 writer will be left to speak for itself.

 Besides the foregoing there have been numerous newspaper ventures in Wa- 
 tertown. Among them may be mentioned the Herald of Salvation, a-XSnivti- 
 salist semi-monthly magazine, by Rev. Pitt Morse, commenced November 30, 
 1822 ; first year printed by S. A. Abbey; second, by W. Woodward. It was 
 then united with a magazine in Philadelphia. 
 
 The Genius of Philanthropy, temperance, started by H. L. Harvey, who 
 bought Thursday s Post, January 17, 1828, and issued a new paper, called 
 the Watertown Register, and united the Genius of Philanthropy with it. 
 Just when the last named publication was started is not stated. 
 
 The Monitor, quarterly, started January i, 1830, and designed as a record 
 of the benevolent societies of the Presbyterian and Congregational churches. 
 
 The Student, by the students of the Black River Institute, and printed by 
 
 B. Cory, commenced August i, 1837. It lasted one year. 
 
 The Pioneer Phalanx and Independeyit Magazine, edited by A. C. S. Bailey, 
 and begun in November, 1843, monthly — only one number issued. It was 
 to be the organ of the Fourier Association in Watertown. 
 
 Watertown Spectator, for temperance and no license, by Joel Greene, com- 
 menced December 22, 1846, lived two years. 
 
 The Sinai and Calvary Reporter, quarterly, by Rev. Joseph A. Livingston, 
 begun October, 1852. Only one number issued in Watertown. 
 
 The Phare des Lacs (Beacon of the Lakes), commenced in May, 1858, by 
 
 C. Petit, editor and proprietor, was published several years in Watertown, 
 then removed to Buffalo, and from there to Toledo, where it was discon- 
 tinued. 
 
 At a later date several papers have come into being, to wit: The Water- 
 towfi Post, which was started July 16, 1870, by George C. Bragdon & Co., 
 G. C. Bragdon, editor. November 2, 187 1, Mr. Bragdon retired and the 
 firm name was changed to Hanford, Wood & Plumb, W. C. Plumb, editor. 
 In 1872 Mr. Plumb retired from the paper and was succeeded as editor by 
 J. H. Treadwell. In June, 1874, R. A. Oakes succeeded Mr. Treadwell, 
 and the following September the paper was purchased by L. Ingalls, who has 
 since edited it. 
 
 In 1883 the Republican was started by Gen. Bradley Winslow, who edited 
 and published it until 1884, when it was merged in the Watertown Post. 
 
 The Sunday Miscellany, started in 1878, by Frank M. Redfield as a Sun- 
 day paper, at the end of six months was sold to G. Preston Sikes, who 
 changed it to a Saturday publication. It lived a year and three weeks. 
 
 The Watertown Advocate, Prohibition, was started in 1884 by George E. 
 Satchwell, and is still in existence. 
 
 The Watertown Herald, Independent, was started July 3, 1886, by Jere. 
 Coughlin, assisted by F. D. Rogers, and is still pubUshed. 
 
 The Silent Worker, an evangelical newspaper, published semi-monthly, 
 and edited by Rev. W. D. Stokes, commenced in Watertown, January i> 
 
NEWSPAPERS. 107 
 
 Northern Harvester, one number issued in the latter part of 1882, then 
 changed to the Good Farmer, a quarterly, published by Greaves & Dewey, 
 edited by D. S. Marvin, published one year at 25 cents. 
 
 The Poultry Chronicle, only a few numbers issued. 
 
 The Annals of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (Catholic monthly) was 
 started in June, 1887, and still lives. 
 
 The Liar, a monthly devoted to " wit, humor, sports, and satire," made its 
 first appearance in September, 1889. It was discontinued after a few num- 
 bers, its editor and proprietor, Frank D. Rogers, having been appointed to a 
 government position in Washington. 
 
 Daily Papers. 
 
 There has been a great demand for a daily paper in Watertown, as is evi- 
 dent from the repeated efforts made to bring one into existence. The first 
 was started by Joel Greene, in the spring of 1846 — a short-lived venture. 
 
 The Daily Jeffersonian, issued from the office of the Weekly feffersonian, 
 initial number dated May to, 1851, was published two and a half years. 
 
 A campaign paper, called the Daily Republican, was issued from the office 
 of the Reformer, by Ingalls & Stowell, from the first of May, 1856, to the 
 close of election in that year. It was devoted to the interests of Col. Fre- 
 mont and the Republican organization. 
 
 The Daily Telegraph was started in 1858, after the successful laying of the 
 Atlantic cable, by J. D. Huntington, who then had charge of the telegraph 
 office in Watertown. The enterprise was aided by John H. Rice, William 
 Farwell, and other stock speculators. It was succeeded by the 
 
 Daily News, started by L. M. Stowell, March 13, 1859, published one 
 year. It was from this office that A. H. Hall issued his 
 
 Daily News, which was commenced in January, i86i. Most of the orig- 
 inal matter was prepared by L. J. Bigelow, until March 16, when G. C. Brag- 
 don assumed charge of the editorial department, and continued with the 
 paper until January 20, 1862, when the plant was sold to the proprietors of 
 the 
 
 Daily Reformer, the publication of which was commenced April 22, 1861, 
 and while Ingalls, Brockway & Beebee were the publishers of the Weekly Re- 
 former. The name of the daily paper was changed to the 
 
 Watertown Times, January 4, 1870. It was then a small sheet with less 
 than 1,000 subscribers, but now ranks among the best dailies of the country, 
 and has a circulation aggregating 4,000. The present publishers and pro- 
 prietors are Beman Brockway, J. W. Brockway, and H. A. Brockway. It is 
 edited by B. Brockway, assisted by W. D. McKinstry, Alpha Child, L. L. 
 Pratt, Charies E. Cole, Charies S. Adams, Fred Britton, and A. W. Munk. 
 
 The Daily Republican, also a morning paper, was started in July, 1888, by 
 Ingalls, Shepard & Dewey, L. Ingalls, C. R. Skinner, and H. E. Knicker- 
 bock, editors. It lived six months.

 Campaign Papers. 
 
 Campaign papers were issued in the summer and fall of 1828, supporting 
 Dewitt Clinton for governor, printed by Harvey & Hewitt, and called the 
 Voice of Jefferson ; in 1832, anti-Masonic, called the Veto. 
 
 In 1834, anti-Republican, printed -by B. Cory, called the Spirit of ^6. 
 
 In 1838, Democratic,' supporting Ezekiel Lewis for Congress, and C. Par- 
 sons, W. C. George, and S. Robbins for Assembly, printed by Randall D. 
 Rice, called the Patriot and Democrat. 
 
 In 1840 a Democratic paper from the office of \hQ Jeffersonian. 
 
 SACKETS HARBOR. 
 
 The first printing office in Sackets Harbor was established by George 
 Carap, who, as "proprietor, pubHsher, and editor," issued the first number of 
 the Sackets Harbor Gazette, March 18, 1817. The following year the title 
 of Advertiser was added, and by that title continued to the close of its third 
 volume, 1820. Subsequently Matthew Cole, Elisha Camp, and others became 
 owners and changed its name, February 9, 1821, to Jefferson Republican. 
 The Gazette and Advertiser was a 20-column folio sheet, and for the times 
 was on a par with the better class of newspapers of the state. 
 
 The firm of Camp, Merrell & Camp, of Utica, had been publishers of 
 books of a high order of merit previous to their dissolution in 1816. The 
 junior member came to Sackets Harbor in December, 1816. His first issue 
 contained 18 columns of solid matter and two of advertisements, and was 
 gotten out with the help of one assistant. Before the year expired there 
 were eight columns of advertisements and many judicial notices. The 
 steamer Ontario appears, with cut, in the first number, announced to sail 
 upon the opening of navigation, which was to test the question : " Can boats 
 be propelled against waves by steam ? " All the current news, foreign and 
 domestic, was carefully collated, bringing the most important events with 
 illustrious names in history to the front. The Republican was continued for 
 a year or more, when its pubhcation was suspended. In the spring of 1824 
 Truman Haskall started the Freeman's Advocate, which continued to the 
 close of 1828. All these papers advocated Federal principles. The last was 
 strongly anti-Masonic. 
 
 Between this date and 1837 the Sackets Harbor Courier was conducted 
 •with considerable credit by James How. 
 
 Edward H. Purdy began the publication of the Jefferson County Whig in 
 September, 1837. This continued only one year, though it is pleasantly re- 
 membered by the old inhabitants. In October, 1838, Edmund M. Luff pub- 
 lished the Sackets Harbor Journal, edited by D. N. Burnham for a season, 
 
NEWSPAPERS. 109 
 
 after which W. Luff conducted the paper, with C. Woodward as printer, to 
 the spring of 1841. 
 
 About this latter date, when [General] Grant was stationed here, Lieuten- 
 -ant Lee gave us that disturbing reflection on Watertown, in his contribution 
 to the Journal: — 
 
 " South, Adams wears her deacon's face, 
 North, Brownville stands with modest pace, 
 And Watertown 's a little place, * 
 
 Just back of Saokets Harbor." 
 
 On Mr. LufF retiring from the Journal Joel Greene became proprietor. 
 Tat Journal was enlarged under his management. The spirit that had per- 
 vaded the previous papers passed away with the new element, and, however 
 active, it did not presage success. After his second year as publisher his in- 
 terest passed to Calvin Green, who, in the same year, 1843, discontinued 
 the paper. Joel Greene now undertook to ride two "mules," by publishing 
 ^z' Black River yournal ^'i Sackets Harbor and Watertown, removing the 
 press to Watertown. In 1846 it passed into the hands of A. W. Clark. 
 
 No paper was published in Sackets Harbor thence till O. H. Harris issued 
 the first number of the Sackets Harbor Observer, March 20, 1848, and un- 
 der that head continued with its Whig proclivities until 1852, when Mr. Har- 
 ris and Mr. Huntington then associated in the 'Jefferson Farmer, which was 
 published as a neutral sheet. Mr. Harris again restored the former title of 
 Sackets Harbor Observer, and with his removal from the village ended the 
 newspaper enterprise in this village. 
 
 To the credit of these varied sheets none ever stooped to low partisan or 
 -vulgar methods, but maintained a high standard as instructors of the people. 
 In fact they reflected the sentiment of the citizens and the character of the 
 inhabitants, who early gave prominence and a marked individuality to the now 
 historic town. 
 
 ADAMS. 
 
 The first paper at Adams was started July i, 1828, by Theron Parsons, 
 who had previously lived in Watertown, and as the paper he published, 
 which was called the Censor, was removed to Watertown after 26 numbers 
 nad been issued perhaps he did not change his residence. The Censor was 
 anti-Masonic, and probaby anti-Republican. Abner Morton was the editor. 
 A reasonably perfect file of the Censor, from the time it was commenced at 
 Adams, July i, 1828, to the time it was sold to Abner Morton, in Watertown, 
 January 5, 1830, has been presented to the Jefferson Historical Society, by 
 Justus Eddy, of Syracuse, and handsomely bound for its use. The first 
 issue of the paper under Mr. Morton's management is " number 70, of vol- 
 •unie 2," indicating an unusual way of numbering, as in the regular way the 
 highest number for a weekly issue would be 52, after which the volume would 
 change, and the numbers of the issues would begin at one again. When the 
 
no JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Censor was removed to Watertown the Anti-Masonic Recorder was discon- 
 tinued, the Censor taking its place as the organ of the Anti-Masonic party. 
 When Abner Morton announced his connection with the Censor in Water- 
 town, January 5, 1830, there were two papers in the village — the Freeman, 
 Republican, and the Register, anti-Republican. 
 
 The Censor was published about five months (till June 8, 1830), when 
 Enoch Ely Camp was announced as the editor. He is said to have been 
 concerned in the paper from the beginning. He changed its name to the 
 Anti-Masonic Sun. It was afterwards published 39 weeks by Dr. R.Goodale, 
 commencing December 13, 1830, as the Constellation, and subsequently it 
 passed into the hands of Mr. Morton, who called it the Jefferson Reporter, 
 and published it from September ti, 1832, till January 21, 1834, when he 
 removed to Michigan, taking his press with him. 
 
 There was no other paper at Adams until 1844, when Josephus C. Hatch, 
 a practical printer, and brother-in-law of the late Alvin Hunt, started . the 
 Jefferson County De77iocrat, which he continued until 1847, when the paper 
 passed into the hands of E. J. Clark. He was with Mr. Hatch about three 
 years, or until the first of July, 1847, when he purchased the interest of Hatch, 
 and continued the publication of the paper eight years, when he removed 
 to Watertown and went into the milling business with his brother, Samuel 
 Clark. The business not being remunerative he quit it, and in the fall of 
 1857 purchased the Jefferso7i County Union, associating with him Royal 
 Chamberlain. Three years afterward he purchased Mr. Chamberlain's inter- 
 est, and remained sole proprietor until the fall of 1864, when he sold out to 
 R. A. Oakes. Since that date, though a writer for various papers, he has had 
 no pecuniary interest in any except for a brief term, while a resident of 
 Michigan. 
 
 After the removal of Mr. Clark to Watertown the Democrat came into 
 the hands of Justus Eddy. Mr. Eddy changed the name of the paper to 
 the Jefferson County News, and made it independent in politics. It had 
 hitherto been Democratic, belonging to the free-soil or barn-burner wing of 
 the party. This was in 1855. Mr. Eddy was the publisher of the paper 
 about eight years. 
 
 In 1863' D. A. D wight, an Adams bookseller, was associated with Mr. 
 Eddy, and the paper was continued by them until April, 1865, when it 
 was sold to George C. Bragdon, who changed the name to the Adams 
 Visitor, and was burnt out a day or two before his first number was to have 
 been printed. He immediately purchased new type and presses, issued 
 the following week, thus skipping only one number, and continued to publish 
 the paper something over three years, when he sold to Babcock & Delong, 
 who conducted it until 1868. 
 
 The next year S. R. Pratt purchased Mr. Babcock's interest, and on the 
 15th of April, i86g, the form of the paper was changed to eight pages, and 
 the name to Northern Temperance Journal, becoming the organ of the Good 
 
NEWSPAPERS. Ill 
 
 Templars. It was continued as such until October 20, 1870, when Pratt & 
 Belong changed the name to the Jefferson County Journal, and made it an 
 independent sheet. 
 
 In 1 87 1 William J.Allen purchased Pratt's interest, and four months later 
 S. W. Hatch Delong's interest, the new firm being Hatch & Allen. The 
 paper was continued by these gentlemen until the health of Mr. Hatch gave 
 out, when he sold his interest to Mr. Allen, who has since been-its efficient 
 conductor. 
 
 The Adams Herald was founded in March, 1876, by H. W. Gunther & 
 Co., with C. W. Jennings as editor, and continued one year, when the ma- 
 terials were purchased by the Journal. 
 
 CARTHAGE. 
 
 On December 19, 1839, the first paper appeared in Carthage, the most of 
 the funds being furnished by H. McCollom, then the leading business man 
 of the place. It was named the Carthagenian, and David Johnson was the 
 editor. It was a weekly Whig paper, but principally devoted to the Black 
 River Canal. June i8, 1840, William H. Hough became the editor. It was 
 a six-column folio. 
 
 In April, 1843, the paper appeared under the name of the Black River 
 Times, reduced in size, with the same editor. It was only continued for a 
 short time. 
 
 January i, 1847, Myron F. Wilson began the publication of the Peoples 
 Press, a semi-monthly neutral paper. In the third number W. H. Colston 
 became associate editor, and in September L. Jones took charge of it. It 
 was soon discontinued. 
 
 In January, 1858, W. R. Merrill and E. R. Cole, who were publishing a 
 paper in Cpnstableville, were prevailed upon to bring their press and mate- 
 rial to Carthage, and A. W. Allen started the Carthage Standard. W. R. 
 Merrill became proprietor soon after the paper was started, and in a few 
 months it was published by Merrill & Cole, with Charles T. Hammond as 
 associate editor. 
 
 The Standard was succeeded in December, 1858, by the Black River 
 Budget, which was published by Almont Barnes and Alva Wilson. This 
 paper was continued for a little over a year. Mr. Barnes became sole pro- 
 prietor after it had run about eight, months. 
 
 In the spring of i860 Marcus Bickford commenced the publication of the 
 Republican, with O. T. Atwood, associate editor. In September, 1865, 
 James H. Wilbur became proprietor, and Mr. Bickford was retained as editor. 
 In September, 1866, M. M. Williams became a partner, and in 1872 the sole 
 proprietor. It was during his administration that the paper was enlarged to 
 its present size, the old hand press discarded, and the power press intro- 
 duced. In January, 1873, S. R. Pratt became proprietor. Mr. Pratt started. 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 "in connection with the Republican, the Farmers' Journal, as an organ of 
 the State Grange, and sold it to John O'Dohnell, of Lowville, in 1876. 
 
 In April, 1875, Durham & Gillett started the Northern New Yorker, and 
 in the fall Wesley Barr became proprietor. In the April following Jere. 
 ■Coughlin became editor, and continued so until the paper was consolidated 
 with the Republican. 
 
 In August, 1876, Lloyd G. Chase became proprietor of the Republican, 
 with Jere. Coughlin as associate editor. Mr. Chase is the present proprietor- 
 
 In 1879 E. D. Bates moved his press and material from Copenhagen, and 
 started the Carthage Democrat. It lasted about three months. 
 
 In March, 1876, B. G. & C. E. Seamans started the Carthage Leader. 
 In June of the same year it was purchased by Jere. Coughlin, who combined 
 its list with three other papers in starting the Watertown Herald. 
 
 In October, 1887, the Carthage Tribune was started by a stock company, 
 with William B. Kesler as editor and business manager. G. W. Dickinson 
 is now the editor. 
 
 THERESA. 
 
 The Theresa Chronicle was started at Theresa, January 14, 1848, and con- 
 tinued 28 weeks, published by Elisha Church Burt, brother of Benjamin Burt, 
 of Ox Bow. The press was subsequently removed to Madrid, St. Lawrence 
 County, whence it was taken to Canton. The Chronicle was to a large ex- 
 tent edited by James L. Bufford and William Fayel. The latter went from 
 Theresa to Lockport and was engaged in the conduct of the Lockport Journal 
 something like two years. He then removed to St. Louis and took a posi- 
 tion upon the Republican, which he still holds. Mr. Bufford went to Boston, 
 and from there to California, where, it is said, he was killed in a duel. Vic- 
 tor Cooper, who still resides in Theresa, worked in the office of th^ Chronicle 
 during the time of its publication, and afterwards with the late Alvin Hunt, of 
 Watertown, but ultimately abandoned printing to engage in trade. Mr. Burt 
 went west from Theresa, and turned up a soldier in the late war. 
 
 When Major Durham started his paper in Carthage, in 1875, he proposed 
 to print an edition for Theresa, to be called the Theresa Journal, and to con- 
 tain the local doings of that thrifty village. The enterprise, however, was 
 short-lived, and Theresa again found itself without a newspaper of any kind. 
 
 In 1881, or thereabouts, W. S. Saunderson, a practical printer, went to 
 Theresa and started a paper, which he called the Theresa Advertiser, and 
 •which was continuted somewhere about two years. The materials were finally 
 brought to Watertown, and were employed in the newspaper commenced 
 by Gen. Bradley Winslow, called the Northern Neiei York Republican, and 
 Mr. Saunderson officated as foreman in the office. The paper did not last 
 a great while, however, and the materials were sold to the proprietors of the 
 Rost, and are now in use in that office. 
 
NEWSPAPERS. II J 
 
 The next effort to give the Theresa people a newspaper was made by Mr. 
 Van Slyke, of the Antwerp Gazette, who dated some copies of his paper at 
 Theresa, calling it the Sentinel. That arrangement is continued by Mr. Van 
 Slyke's successors. Mr. Beamen at one time had charge or the Theresa 
 branch office ; at another time Robert Jackson was the Theresa editor. 
 
 CAPE VINCENT. 
 
 The Cape Vincent Gazette was started by Paul T. Leach, and the first 
 number was dated May 8, 1858. It was succeeded by the Frontier Patriot, 
 May 10, 1865, with P. H. Keenan, editor and proprietor. Mr. Keenan 
 entered the array the same year, when the name of Robert Mitchell appeared 
 as editor, and P. H. Keenan as proprietor. In the fall of 1862 Mitchell 
 absented himself to buy a new stock of paper, and did not return. The Cape 
 Vincent Eagle appeared on the loth of April, 1872, established by Ames & 
 Hunt. Hunt soon after sold out to his partner, who continued as publisher 
 till the spring of 1877, when Mr. Ames disposed of his paper to Charles B. 
 Wood, who subsequently changed the name to the Democratic Eagle, and 
 has since conducted it with success. It now bears the name of the Cape 
 Viruent Eagle. 
 
 CLAYTON. 
 
 The first paper published in the town of Clayton was started in May, i873,_ 
 when two young men, William D. Clark and George Beden, started the Clay- 
 ton Independent. It was a seven-column folio, and was printed on a Wash- 
 ington hand press. Mr. Beden retired from the partnership after the first 
 issue, and Mr. Clark continued the business for two years and then sold out 
 to W. H. Rees, a young lawyer, and a native of that place. Mr. Rees ran 
 the paper for about a year, when he sold the plant to Warren W. Ames, of 
 De Ruyter. He soon sold out to George A. Lansing, who did not make a 
 financial success of the business. Mr. Ames, again having control of the 
 paper, sold a half interest to Frank D. Rogers, then of Chaumont. In about 
 a year Frank D. Braun purchased the interest of W. W. Ames, and for two 
 years the paper was published by Rogers & Braun. During this time the 
 paper was enlarged to a five-column quarto. E. C. Rogers, a younger 
 brother of Frank D., purchased the interest of Mr. Eraun and a power press 
 was added. For three years the business was successfully carried on and a 
 large circulation was secured. In the winter of 1882-83, owing to disagree- 
 ment in the management, the pubUcation of the paper was suspended. 
 
 June 26, 1883, the first number of the Clayton Standard was issued, with 
 C. E. & F. G. Hocknel as editors and proprietors. In November, 1884, C. E. 
 Hocknel purchased the interest of the brother, and two months later changed' 
 the name of the paper to On the St. Lawrence. A year later Ratchford,. 
 Phillips & Slate purchased the paper. 
 
114 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 In the spring of 1884 the Clayton Independent was again started by 
 Frank D. Rogers, but after six months was again discontinued, owing to a 
 lack of patronage. 
 
 In the spring of 1885 E. D. & W. M. Vincent began the publication of a 
 seven-column folio, called the Free Press, \)\i.\. failing to secure a fair share of 
 the patronage soon suspended. 
 
 In the fall of 1886 W. H. Rees purchased the plant of Ratchford, Phillips 
 & Slate. January 1, 1888, Phillips & McCarn purchased the paper from 
 W. H. Rees. The name of W. B. Phillips now appears as editor and pro- 
 prietor. 
 
 ANTWERP. 
 
 The Antwerp Gazette was commenced by James M. Beaman, September 
 I, 1873. He sold to James W. Van Slyke, December 24, 1874, who con- 
 ducted it till December 12, 1888. He then sold to M. H. Bent. Mr. Van 
 Slyke started the Philadelphia Monitor, May i, 1883, and the Theresa Sen- 
 tinel, November i, 1886. Both papers are still published, and issued from 
 the office of the Gazette. 
 
 BLACK RIVER. 
 
 The Black River Herald, weekly, formerly the Croghan News, was estab- 
 lished in Black River in May, 1889; proprietor and editor, P. B. Mereness ; 
 independent in politics. It suspended publication in April, 1890. 
 
 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. 
 
 '■ The Thousand Isles! The Thousand Isles! 
 Dimpled, the wave around them smiles, 
 Kissed by a thousand red-lipped flowers, 
 Gemmed by a thousand emerald bowers; 
 A thousand birds their praises wake, 
 By rooky glade and plumy brake; 
 A thousand cedars' fragrant shade 
 Falls where the Indians' children played; 
 And Fancy's dream my heart beguiles 
 While singing thee, thou Thousand Isles! " 
 
 The Thousand Islands have been the subject of descriptive writers — poets, 
 novelists, historians, tourists — since they were first visited by white men, all 
 bearing testimony to the wondrous natural beauty and picturesqueness of this 
 incomparable region. Long before the advance of civilization had driven the 
 aborigines hence the Indians had recognized the beauty and tranquil grand- 
 eur of the place, and had designated it Manatoana, or Garden of the Great 
 Spirit. 
 
 For many years before the locality became famous as a summer resort a 
 few persons, some of them men of note, made this their favorite fishing-ground 
 and summer outing-place. It was not until 1872, however, that the grand 
 
THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. II5 
 
 rush to the islands commenced. Since that time hundreds of thousands of 
 dollars have been expended in the erection of private homes, hotels, and pub- 
 lic parks, and in the improvement of the many beautiful islands, of which 
 there are, in this famous archipelago, as stated officially in the Treaty of 
 Ghent, 1,692. 
 
 This charming locality attracts people from all parts of the United States 
 and Canada, and from Europe, who spend a portion of their summers here, 
 hundreds, almost thousands, of whom have built for themselves summer 
 houses, some modest but comfortable, while others are more pretentious, and 
 in many cases grand and palatial. The scene at night during the height of 
 the season is gorgeous mdeed. At that time the cottages on the islands are 
 mostly illuminated with colored lanterns, and the steam yachts, with their 
 gay parties, go flitting by, the whole scene, like a kaleidoscope, continually 
 changing, but ever beautiful and full of surprises. 
 
 Much of historical interest is associated with this region, which has four 
 times been the boundary line between contending nations. The first great 
 strife was inaugurated before white men were known here, and was car- 
 ried on between the two great savage nations, the Algonquins and Iroquois, 
 the former dweUing for the most part to the northward and eastward, while 
 the latter had their principal homes along the lakes and rivers of Central and 
 Western New York. Champlain found this feud in existence in 1608, and 
 formed an aUiance with the Algonquins againt the Iroquois, which made the 
 latter nation the deadly enemy of the French ever after. Following this 
 sanguinary period came one not less bloody — the French and Indian war. 
 The next period of strife was the Revolutionary war, which was followed by 
 the War of 1812, thoroughly establishing the independence of the United 
 States. The hostile events of 1837-40, generally denominated as the 
 " Patriot war," in which an abortive attempt was made to revolutionize the 
 Canadas, also found in this region the theater of operations. 
 
 An extensive sketch of the Thousand Islands should include a particular 
 description of the portion owned by private individuals, with their costly 
 improvements. This we will not attempt here, but will simply give some 
 account of the public parks and hotels, which receive the patronage of thous- 
 ands of visitors during the summer season. 
 
 The Thousand Island Park Association was incorporated as " The Thous- 
 and Island Camp-Meeting Association," in December, 1874, with a cap- 
 ital stock of $15,000, in shares of $10. Its present name was assumed by 
 special act passed January 18, 1879. It was organized as a religious institu- 
 tion, and is under the management of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, 
 although many persons not of this denomination have residences upon the 
 grounds and participate in the proceeding's. The park is located upon 
 Wells or Wellesley Island^ and occupies the point known upon Capt. Owen's 
 British chart of 1818 as " Talayera Head." It was surveyed by Frank A. 
 Hinds, of Watertown, in 1875, and originally embraced a tract of about 983 
 
Il6 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 acres, which has since been curtailed by the sale of about 200 acres. The 
 capital stock was, about 1883-84, increased to $50,000, and a large hotel, 
 facing upon a fine lawn and overlooking the river, was erected. The park 
 contains about 400 cottages, and is supplied with a general store, meat 
 market, book store, plumber's shop, and other trade conveniences. A post- 
 office is located here, and a deputy customs office is stationed here during 
 the season of navigation. 
 
 The tabernacle, erected at the head of St. Lawrence avenue, will seat 3,500 
 people, and for a period of about a month, in July and August, interesting 
 lectures, meetings, concerts, etc., are held almost daily. A system of sewer- 
 age has been inaugurated. Water from the river is forced by a steam pump 
 to the reservoir tanks on the mountain, from whence it is very generally dis- 
 tributed to cottages about the park. The present officers are George P. 
 Folts, president; O. P. Hadcock, treasurer; and W. R. Fitch, secretary. 
 
 The Westminster Park Association of the Thousand Islands was incorpo- 
 rated in 1875 with a capital stock of $50,000, divided into shares of $ioo- 
 each. In 1877 the capital stock was reduced to $30,000. The association 
 purchased 500 acres on the northwest point of Wells Island, known on Owen's 
 chart as Point Victoria, having nearly five miles of water front in the mean- 
 ders of the shore. In addition to this purchase there has also been made 
 another, of Isle Mary, or Picnic Point, of 25 acres area, separated from the 
 park by a narrow channel a few feet in width, connected with the park by a bridge. 
 The enterprise, though inaugurated under the auspices of the Presbyterians, 
 is not intended to be strictly denominational. Extensive improvements have 
 been made, a good hotel (H. F. Inglehart, prop.) and numerous fine cottages 
 erected, and withal the park is, with other resorts upon the river, growing in 
 patronage. It is connected by steamer with Alexandria Bay. 
 
 Round Island Park ^dL%vacox'^axaxe.A.\xx 1879 with a capital of $50,000, 
 in shares of $100. The island contains about 175 acres, and has been laid 
 out into 400 lots, besides avenues, ornamental parks, picnic grounds, etc. 
 It is one mile long and from 800 to 1,200 feet wide, and lies about a quarter 
 of a mile from the mainland, and a mile and a-half from Clayton village. 
 This park was originally under the especial patronage of the Baptists, but its 
 management is now non-sectarian. A dock 260 feet long and 14 feet in 
 depth was built, and in 1880 an hotel 50 by 200 feet, four stories high, was 
 erected. In 1889 the hotel was enlarged and greatly improved, and will now 
 accommodate between 400 and 500 guests. 
 
 Central Park is located upon the mainland, about midway between Alex- 
 andria Bay and Thousand Island Park. This park was incorporated about 
 i88i, with a capital stock of $25,000. A commodious hotel, now under tht 
 management of H. F. Inglehart, and 12 cottages have been erected, with suf- 
 ficient dockage and other improvements, making about $40,000 invested. 
 The present officers are Byron B. Taggart, president ; O. G. Staples, vice- 
 president ; Joseph Atwell, Jr., secretary ; S. T. Woolworth, treasurer. 
 
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. II7 
 
 Grand Viezv Park was surveyed and laid out as a public park in 1885. 
 It is located on the northwestern point of Wells or Wellesley Island, on 
 what was given the name of " Oporto Head " on Captain Owen's chart of 
 1818, and contains about 25 acres. It is the enterprise of Hamilton Child, of 
 Syracuse, who, in i885, erected a cottage and commenced the extensive im- 
 provements which have greatly enhanced the natural beauty of this pictures- 
 que spot. Since then the cottage has been enlarged and used as an hotel, and 
 numerous private residences have been erected. For so recent a venture its 
 growth has been phenomenal, owing largely, no doubt, to its central location 
 and contiguity to the best fishing-grounds in the Thousand Island region. 
 This park has 228 building lots. It has almost hourly connection by steamer 
 with Thousand Island Park. 
 
 Grennell Island Park is the property of Samuel B. Grennell, who for more 
 than 30 years has resided on a small island near that upon which the park is 
 located, and with which it is connected by a bridge. This park was started 
 about 1882, and is situated upon what is known on the early charts as Stew- 
 art or Jeffers Island, which lies south of Wells Island, opposite Thousand 
 Island Park. A new hotel has been erected on the small island, which is 
 owned by J. I. Sayles, of Rome, and will be ready for occupancy during the 
 season of iSgo. Several private cottages have been erected on the larger 
 island. 
 
 Prospect Park occupies a tract of 50 acres upon Bartlett Point, about a 
 mile above the depot at Clayton. It has been laid out into lots and streets, 
 and a considerable amount of grading and improvement has been done; but 
 it has not as yet attracted much attention from island visitors. The point 
 commands a fine prospect, and was the scene of an engagement in the War 
 of 1812-15. 
 
 Edgewgod Park is located upon the mainland, near the village of Alexan- 
 dria Bay. A fine hotel, or club house, and several cottages have been erected 
 here. It contains about 30 acres, and has been incorporated by the Edge- 
 wood Park Association, composed mostly of gentlemen from Cleveland, Ohio. 
 
 Murray Hill Park. — Hancock or Murray Island will hereafter be known 
 as Murray Hill Park. The island has been purchased of Captain J. A. 
 Taylor, the former owner, by a syndicate of capitalists, who are now (May, 
 1890) surveying and laying it out in lots and avenues. The island is well 
 located, and no doubt will, in due time, become a very popular place of 
 summer resort. 
 
 INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. 
 
 The first effort to improve the facilities for travel in this section of the 
 state was probably made in 1791, when Arthur Noble and Baron Steuben 
 petitioned the legislature of the "state of New York for a road " from the 
 Little Falls on the Mohawk River to the falls on the Black River which runs 
 
 8* 
 
Il8 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 into Lake Ontario." The committee in the legislature to whom the petition 
 was referred reported in favor of the project, but we have not been able to 
 ascertain that anything further was accomplished. The first settlers found 
 their way into the country by using the navigable channel of Black River from 
 the High Falls to the present village of Carthage, or by the tedious and peril- 
 ous navigation of the lake, by way of Oswego. 
 
 The French road. — In anticipation of settlement Rodolph Tillier, agent of 
 the French Company, had caused to be opened a route from the High Falls, 
 east of Black River, to near the great bend, from which it continued in a line 
 nearly direct to the present village of Clayton. A branch from this diverged 
 from the head of navigation on Black River Bay, but these roads, though 
 cleared and the stumps removed, had no bridges, and consequently were of 
 no use to the early settlers. This road fell entirely into disuse, and it is 
 doubtful whether a rod of it is now traveled. 
 
 The Oswegatchie road. — The first traveled road in the county north of 
 Black River owes its origin to Judge Nathan Ford, of Ogdensburg. The 
 road extended from Ogdensburg to Turin, in Lewis County, and thence to 
 Albany. It entered Jefferson County at Ox Bow, in the town of Antwerp, 
 where it met the Black River road, on the opposite side of the river. Judge 
 Ford, in a letter to Samuel Ogden, announced "having finished cutting the 
 road, and all the logs turned, excepting about eight miles, and the party goes 
 out to-morrow morning to finish that ; after which, I think, the road may be 
 said to be passable for sleighs, although there is considerable digging yet to 
 be done, as well as crossways." 
 
 The road was first opened by a subscription among the landholders, and its 
 continuation through Lewis County was long known as the Oswegatchie road. 
 The sums raised by these means proved inadequate to build the road of the 
 character which the country demanded, and narrow, sectional, and local jeal- 
 ousies were found to embarrass the enterprise. 
 
 It was next attempted, with success, to obtain state patronage for this work; 
 and on April 9, 1804, a lottery was created for the purpose of raising the sum 
 of $22,000 to construct a road from Troy to Greenwich, and " from or near 
 the head of Long Falls, in the county of Oneida, to the mills of Nathan 
 Ford, at Oswegatchie, in St. Lawrence County." The latter was to be six 
 rods wide, and Nathan Ford, Alexander J. Turner, and Joseph Edsell were 
 appointed commissioners for making it. Of the above sum $12,000 was 
 appropriated for this road. The summer of 1805 was devoted to the loca- 
 tion and opening of the road, and on October 26, 1805, Judge Ford wrote: 
 "I have just returned from laying out the State road between Ogdensburg 
 and the Long Falls, upon Black River, and I am happy to tell you we have 
 made great alterations (from the old road) for the better, also as well as 
 shortening the distance." 
 
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. II9 
 
 STATE ROADS. 
 
 An act was passed March 26, 1803, for opening and improving certain 
 great roads of the state with the proceeds of a lottery, to be drawn under the 
 supervision of Philip Ten Eyck, Thomas Storm, William Henderson, Mat- 
 thias B. Tallmadge, and Jacobus Van Shoonhoven. The fund so raised was 
 intended to be chiefly applied to the opening of roads in the Black River 
 •country, and was limited to $41,500. Nathan Sage, Henry Huntington, and 
 Jacob Brown were appointed commissioners for opening a road from Salina, 
 and thence through Redfield to Champion and St. Lawrence County, and 
 these were, by an act passed April 9, 1804, authorized and empowered to 
 make such deviations on said route as they deemed proper, nothwithstanding 
 the provisions of the original act. 
 
 Jacob Brown, Walter Martin, and Peter Schuyler where appointed under 
 the act of March 26, 1803, to locate the road'through the Black River valley, 
 which, for a long time, was known as the State road, and $30,000 were ex- 
 pended under that act. Silas Stow acted a short time as one of the com- 
 missioners, both on the Black River and the Johnstown section, with Brown, 
 Martin, and Schuyler. By an act of April 8, 1808, Augustus Sacket, David 
 I. Andrus, and John Meacham were empowered to lay out a public road four 
 rods wide, "commencing at such place in Brownville and Hounsfield as 
 shall, in the opinion of the commissioners, best unite with the great road 
 leading from Rome to the River St. Lawrence at Putnam's ferry, and pursu- 
 ing such route as in their opinion shall best accommodate the public in gen- 
 eral, to the village of Salina." 
 
 By an act of April 2, 1813, the surveyor-general was "authorized and re- 
 quired to sell and dispose of so much of the unappropriated lands of this 
 state, on a credit of 1 2 months, lying in the county of Oneida, called the 
 Fish Creek land, as shall raise the sum of $4,000 ; and the same is hereby 
 appropriated for improving the road from Sackets Harbor, on Lake Ontario, 
 to the village of Rome, in the county of Oneida, being the road heretofore 
 laid out by commissioners appointed by the state, and pay the same over to 
 Henry Huntington, Clark Allen, and Dan Taft, who are hereby appointed 
 superintendents to take charge of the expenditures of said sum, for the ob- 
 jects aforesaid." 
 
 An act was passed April i, 18 14, appointing WiUiam Smith, George Bray- 
 ton, and Benjamin Wright to lay out a road from Salina to Smith's Mills 
 (Adams), to intersect at that place the State road from Rome, through Red- 
 field and Lorraine, to Brownville. The road was completed to Adams, and 
 waslong known as the Salt Point road. In i8i6 a State road was directed 
 to be laid out from Lowville to Henderson Harbor, which was surveyed, but 
 the whole of it was not opened. A road from French Creek to Watertown 
 -was, by an act of April i, 1824, directed to be made under the supervision of 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Amos Stebbins, Azariah Doane, and Henry H. Coffeen. By an act of ApriT 
 19, 1834, Loren Bailey, Azariah Walton, and E. G. Merrick were appointedi 
 to lay out a road along the St. Lawrence, from near the line of Lyme and 
 Clayton, to Chippewa Bay, in Hammond. The cost, not exceeding $ioo per 
 mile, was to be taxed to adjacent lands ; and in 1836, 1838, and 1839 the 
 act was amended and extended. April 4, 1841, a State road was authorized 
 to be laid out from Carthage to Lake Champlain, which was subsequently 
 surveyed and opened the whole distance. 
 
 The enterprise of individual proprietors led, at an early day, to the open- 
 ing of extended lines of roads, among which were the Morris and Hammond' 
 road, the Alexandria road, etc. The tour of President Monroe in 181 7 proba- 
 bly led to the project of uniting the two prominent mihtary stations of Platts- 
 burgh and Sackets Harbor by a military road, which was soon after begun. 
 A report of John C. Calhoun, then Secretary of War, dated January 7, i8ig,. 
 mentions this among other national works then in progress. The labor was 
 done by rehef parties of soldiers from these garrisons, who received an extra 
 allowance of 15 cents and a gill of whisky daily. The western extremity, 
 from Sackets Harbor, through Brownville, Pamelia Four Corners, and Red- 
 wood, to Hammond, and from Plattsburgh to the east line of Franklin County, 
 only were completed. The care of the general government ended with the- 
 opening of these roads, and the portion in this county has been maintained 
 as a town road. 
 
 TURNPIKES. 
 
 The Oneida and Jeff^erson Turnpike X2ompany was incorporated April 8, 
 1808, for the purpose of making a road from Rome via Redfield and Malta. 
 (Lorraine) to Putnam's ferry, on the St. Lawrence. The persons named in 
 the act were Nathan Sage, Peter Colt, Augustus Sacket, Jacob Brown, David' 
 Smith, and Eliphalet Edmonds ; capital, 4,700 shares of $25 each. A 
 company with the same name and a capital of $20,000 was chartered May 3, 
 1834, but never got into efficient operation. The commissioners named 
 were Elisha Camp, Thomas C. Chittenden, Clark Allen, Ira Seymour, Nelson 
 Darley, and Alanson Bennet. 
 
 The St. Lawrence Turnpike Company, formed April 5, i8io, of 29 leading 
 landholders of Northern New York, headed by J. Le Ray, built, in 181 2-13, 
 a turnpike from a point five and a half miles north of Carthage to Bangor, 
 Franklin County. They were, in 18 13, released from completing the terminiy 
 which had originally been intended to be the Long Falls and Malone. The 
 road was opened under the supervision of Russell Attwater, and built from 
 the proceeds of lands subscribed for its construction along the route. Dur- 
 ing the war it was a source of great profit, but afterwards fell into disuse, and) 
 the company was, by an act of Apri', 1826, allowed to abandon it to the public. 
 
 The Ogdensburg Turnpike Company, formed June 8, 1812. capital $50,000,. 
 and mainly sustained by David Parish, soon after built a turnpike from Car- 
 
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. 
 
 thage to Ogdensburg, by way of Antwerp, Rossie, and Morristown. This 
 was also, by act of April, 1826, surrendered to the public. By an act passed 
 March 30, 181 r, the governor was to appoint commissioners to lay out two 
 turnpikes. One of these was to pass from Lowville, by way of Munger's 
 Mills and Watertown, to Brownville; the other from Munger's Mills toSackets 
 Harbor. 
 
 On February 13, 1812, James LeRay asked permission of the legislature 
 to make a turnpike road from Chaumont, in the town of Brownville, to Cape 
 Vincent, and from the Black River, opposite the village of Watertown, to inter- 
 sect the St. Lawrence turnpike road at or n.ear where the same crossed the 
 Indian River, in the town of Le Ray. The war which soon ensued diverted 
 attention for a time from this improvement ; but in March, 1815, an act was 
 passed empowering Le Ray to build the Cape Vincent turnpike from that 
 place to Perch River. On April 12, 1816, he was allowed to extend the 
 road to Brownville village. By an act of April 21, 1831, this road was 
 surrendered to the public, and with it ended the era of turnpikes in the 
 ■county. 
 
 PLANK ROADS. 
 
 The first plank road in the county was completed in 1848, and extended 
 from Watertown to Sackets Harbor. The Lowville a?id Carthage Flank 
 Road was inspected August 4, 1849. The Carthage and Antwerp Plank 
 Road was inspected November 13, 1849. The Sterling Bush and North 
 Wilna Plank Road, connecting the last road with the village of Louisburg, 
 or Sterling Bush, in Lewis County, was finished about 1854. The Gouverneur, 
 Somerville, and Antwerp Plank Road was inspected November 14, 1849. A 
 •continuous line of plank roads connected this with Ogdensburg, Canton, 
 and the depot of Canton and Madrid on the Northern Railroad, and one mile 
 from Antwerp village with the Hammond, Rossie, and Antwerp Plank Road, in- 
 •spected October 24, 1850, 20 miles in length, passing through Rossie vallage, 
 and connecting with the village of Morristown. At the village of Ox Bow 
 it connected with the Evans Mills and Ox Bow Plank Road, 17 miles long, 
 completed in June, 1852. The Pamelia and Evans Mills Plank Road, con- 
 tinuing this route to Watertown, was completed in June, 1850. Antwerp and 
 Watertown were connected by the Antwerp, Sterlingville, and Great Bend 
 Plank Road, completed in August, 1849, and the Watertoivn andGreat Bend 
 Plank Road, completed late in the same year. The latter passed through the 
 villages of Black River and Felt's Mills. At the village of Great Bend this 
 and the former road connected with the Great Bend and Copenhagen Plank 
 Road, completed in November, 1849. This road passed through Champion 
 village, and connected with the Rutland and Champion Plank Road, which 
 extended from Copenhagen to within three and a half miles of Watertown 
 village, and was completed in August, 1849. This line was continued to 
 
JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Watertown village by the Watertown Plank and Turnpike Road, which was 
 completed in September, 1849. 
 
 The Watertown Central Plank Road, two miles long, completed in August, 
 1849, was at first designed to connect with other roads, forming a line of 
 plank roads to Syracuse, but the building of the railroad necessitated the 
 abandonment of the plan. The Adams and Ellisburgh Plank Road was 
 completed in June, 1849, and connected with roads to Syracuse, Oswego, etc. 
 The Dexter, Brownville, and Pamelia Plank Road, connecting Pamelia vil- 
 lage with Dexter, was completed in October, 1850. It was continued by the 
 Dexter and Limerick Plank Road to the town line of Lyme, towards Cape 
 Vincent, completed in May, 1850. It also connected with the Dexter and 
 Hounsfield P lank Road, which ran from Dexter to the Watertown and Sackets 
 Harbor Road near the latter place. A line of roads from Alexandria Bay to 
 Watertown was projected, and mostly finished, consisting of the Theresa and 
 Alexandria Bay Plank Road, 12 miles long, completed in December, 1849, 
 and the Theresa Plank Road, towards Evans Mills, of which about four miles 
 were completed in July, 1852. The Theresa and Clayton Plank Road, 
 between these places, was completed in June, 1850. This road passed 
 through La Fargeville. 
 
 These roads generally contributed much to the prosperity of the country 
 for a time, until the railroads were extended through the county, when the 
 system was abandoned and the lines transformed into graveled or ordinary 
 turnpikes. Nothing now remains to remind the traveler of their existence, 
 save here and there a piece of scantling or broken plank. 
 
 RAILROADS. 
 
 The Watertown and Rome Railroad was incorporated April 17, 1832. 
 The company was empowered to build a railroad from Rome to Watertown, 
 and thence to St. Lawrence River or Lake Ontario, or both, with a capital 
 of $1,000,000, in shares of $100. The charter, which was repeatedly revived 
 and amended, was never allowed to expire, and after years of patient and 
 preserving effort the road was opened. Work was commenced at Rpme in 
 November, 1848, and soon after at other important points, and the road was 
 so far completed as to allow the passage of trains to Camden in the fall of 
 1849. May 28, 1851, the road was completed to Pierrepont Manor, and a 
 large party from Watertown, Rome, and other sections assembled to cele- 
 brate the era of the entrance of the first railroad train into Jefferson County. 
 The first engine reached Watertown September 5, at 11 o'clock at night, and 
 on the 24th of the same month its completion to that place was again cele- 
 brated with festivities. On November 20 it was finished to Chaumont and 
 in April, 1852,10 Cape Vincent. The first officers were Orville Hungerford, 
 president ; Clark Rice, secretary ; and Orville V. Brainard, treasurer. Mr. 
 Hungerford died before the road was completed, and on April 10, 1851,

 Hon. William C. Pierrepont was elected president. The total length of the 
 hne was 97 J miles, and its total cost $1,957,992. 
 
 In January, 1852, a company was organized to construct a road from 
 Watertown to Potsdam Junction, a point on the Vermont Central Railroad, 
 which latter extends from Ogdensburg to Rouse's Point, at the foot of Lake 
 Champlain. The Potsdam branch, 76 miles in length, was completed in 
 1854, and up to i860 was called the Potsdam and Watertown Railroad, when 
 it came into the possession of the Watertown and Rome Railroad Company. 
 In 1861-62 the latter company put down a track from De Kalb Junction, a 
 point on the Potsdam and Watertown road, to Ogdensburg, a distance of 19 
 miles, and the roads were consolidated and the names changed by the legis- 
 lature to the Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad Company. 
 
 In 1866 the Oswego and Rome Railroad, extending from Oswego 29 miles 
 to Richland, was put in operation and leased to the R., W. & O. The Syra- 
 cuse Northern Railroad, extending from Syracuse to Sandy Creek Junction 
 on the R., W. & O. R. R., was completed in 1870, and in 1875 was consoli- 
 dated with the latter. The Lake Ontario Shore Railroad, running from 
 Oswego west to Charlotte (Rochester's port of entry), and to its western ter- 
 minus at Niagara Falls and Suspension Bridge, ont he Niagara River, 150 
 miles, was also merged in the R., W. & O. in January, 1875. 
 
 The Utica and Black River Railway was opened from Utica to Boonville, 
 Oneida County, a distance of 35 miles, in 1855. In 1868 the line was put 
 in operation to Lowville, Lewis County, a further distance of 24 miles. In 
 1872 it reached Carthage, 16 miles farther. The original plan to construct 
 a line to Clayton, Morristown, and Ogdensburg, on the St. Lawrence River, 
 was not immediately carried out. While the division between Lowville and 
 Carthage was in course of construction a company was organized in Water- 
 town, under the title of Carthage, Watertown, and Sackets Harbor Railroad 
 Company, and a road constructed in 1872, from Watertown to Carthage, 18 
 miles, which was completed about the time the Utica and Black River Com- 
 pany reached the same point. U^on the completion of the road from Wa- 
 tertown to Carthage it was leased to the Utica and BlacK River Company. 
 
 In 1873 the Clayton and Theresa Railroad was completed, mainly through 
 the efforts of Aid en F. Barker and Russell B. Biddlecom, and in 1885 was 
 consolidated with the Utica and Black River system. In 1874 the Carthage, 
 Watertown, and Sackets Harbor Company completed a road from Watertown 
 to Sackets Harbor, which was the same year leased to the Utica and Black 
 River line. 
 
 The Black River and Morristown Railway filed articles of incorporation 
 with the secretary of state March 22, 1870. The capital stock was fixed at 
 $600,000, and Philadelphia, in Jefferson County, and Morristown, in St. 
 Lawrence County, were made the termini of the road. The length of the 
 proposed line was 37 miles. The railroad was opened from Philadelphia to 
 Theresa, a distance of eight miles, in December, 1872, and by October, 1873, 
 
124 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 the work was nearly completed. On October 29, 1873, the company 
 contracted with the Utica and Black River Railway Company to complete 
 the road, giving that company the use of the road for eight years, and trans- 
 ferring to them the unexpended balance of $500,000 in bonds issued by the 
 Black River and Morristown Company. Under this contract the road was 
 completed and opened to Redwood in November, 1874, and to Morristown 
 in November, 1875. Connection was soon after made to Ogdensburg. It 
 remained under the control of the U. & B. R. R. R. until the latter was leased 
 to the R. W. & O. 
 
 On April 15, 1886, the Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad leased 
 the lines of the Utica and Black River Railroad, and since that time the 
 lines have been under one management, the system being known as the 
 Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad Company. The general offices 
 of the company are located at Oswego, and the following are its present 
 officers : Charles Parsons, president, New York ; Charles Parsons, Jr., 
 vice-president. New York ; J. A. Lawyer, secretary and treasurer. New 
 York ; R. E. Smiley, assistant secretary, Watertown ; E. S. Bowen, general 
 manager, Oswego ; Edwin Parsons, assistant general manager and general 
 purchasing agent. New York ; M. B. Sloat, auditor, Oswego ; L. A. Emer- 
 son, general traffic manager. New York ; F. W. Parsons, general freight 
 agent, Oswego ; Theodore Butterfield, general passenger agent, Oswego ; 
 H. T. Frary, paymaster and traveling agent, Oswego; G. H. Haseltine, 
 superintendent of motive power and machinery, Oswego ; W. W. Curries, 
 superintendent transportation, Oswego; W. S. Jones, superintendent middle 
 and eastern divisions, Watertown ; H. W. Hammond, assistant superintend- 
 ent eastern division, Carthage ; J. H. McEwan, assistant superintendent 
 western division, Oswego. 
 
 In 1837 the Trenton and Sackets Harbor Railroad was chartered, but no 
 work was ever done. In 1850 the Sackets Harbor and Ellisburgh Railroad 
 Company was organized, and June 1, 1853, was completed to Pierrepont 
 Manor and opened for the regular passage of trains. It was run to connect 
 with the R., W. & O. Railroad at the Manor, and with the Ontario and St. 
 Lawrence Steamboat Company at the Harbor. The road was abandoned 
 in 1862. 
 
 A company called the Sackets Harbor and Saratoga Railroad Company was 
 incorporated in April, 1848, for the purpose of building a road from the 
 first named point via Watertown, Carthage, and Castorville, and through 
 the wilderness, to Saratoga, and eventually to Boston, Mass. No part of the 
 road in this county was ever built. 
 
 The Carthage and Adirondack Railroad. — The building of this road was 
 the consummationof a project conceived by George Gilbert, of Carthage, N.Y. 
 as early as 1865. At that time very little lumbering had been done in the 
 country now tributary to this road. A tannery had then recently been 
 erected at Natural Bridge village, and at Harrisville, Lewis County. The

 large lumber interest at Gouverneur, St. Lawrence County, that has now for 
 more than 20 years drawn almost entirely from this section for its supply of 
 logs, was then in embryo. Little was then known of the large mineral resour- 
 ces of this locality ; yet small quantities of very excellent iron ore had been 
 rained, and the sanguine predicted its existence in endless quantities. By 
 occasional trips through this section Mr. Gilbert had become acquainted with 
 the large resources of the locality in its forests, and the great wealth that might 
 be derived therefrom if some adequate mode of transportation could be pro- 
 vided. The importance of penetrating this country with a railroad, having 
 its starting pomt at Carthage, began to be discussed by him, and while every 
 one conceded the desirableness of such an enterprise if it could be accom- 
 plished, yet the poverty of the country to be directly benefited was so great 
 as to lead most people to view it as a quixotic undertaking. Nevertheless 
 the project found some friends who thought it worthwhile to try and see how 
 much interest could be developed. 
 
 Acting upon this idea Mr. Gilbert prepared a bill and submitted the same 
 .to the legislature of 1866, providing for the incorporation of a company 
 with power to construct a railroad from Carthage, Jefferson County, N. Y., 
 to some point on the Oswegatchie River, at or near Harrisville, in Diana 
 Lewis County, and to purchase timber lands in unlimited quantities and en- 
 :gage in the business of lumbering. This bill was arnended by the legislature 
 by striking out the provision empowering the company to purchase lands, etc., 
 and then passed it. It became a law, but without the element that in the 
 judgment of its author made it of any particular value. Nevertheless it 
 served the purpose of forming a nucleus which was of some service in work- 
 ing up the scheme. In the fall of 1866 very thorough preliminary surveys 
 ■were made between Carthage and Harrisville. Statistics were collected, and 
 in the following winter a report showing the feasibility of the route and the 
 resources of the country was made and published. This report was very 
 tgenerally circulated and attracted much attention. Carthage was then a 
 village of nearly 2,000 inhabitants, nearly equal to the number of inhabitants 
 in all the remaining country along the line of this proposed road. The prop- 
 osition was then to build a railroad about 20 miles in length through a sec- 
 tion of country containing no men of large means, and where the business 
 necessary to its maintenance would have to be created to a very great extent. 
 Nevertheless confidence in the scheme began to increase. In the following 
 year the Clifton Company began the construction of a railroad from its mines, 
 in the town of Clifton, St. Lawrence County, to De Kalb Junction, on the 
 Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad, using wood rails instead of iron. 
 This was a new idea, and seemed to be a feasible one for a pioneer road in 
 a country where timber was abundant. In the fall of this year preliminary 
 surveys were made from Harrisville to a point of intersection with the Clif- 
 ton road in the town of Russell, St. Lawrence County, and soon after the 
 work of securing pledges for a sufficient amount of stock to organize a com- 
 
126 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 pany under the general law for the incorporation of railroad companies was 
 set about in good earnest, and prosecuted with a zeal that seemed to preclude 
 all doubt of success. 
 
 In December following the persons pledging subscriptions for stock in the 
 company to be organized met at the hotel in Harrisville and selected a, 
 board of directors ; but the articles of association then adopted were not 
 signed, and the lo per cent, was not paid in until the latter part of June, 
 1868. It was provided that the company should be known by the name of 
 the Black River and St. Lawrence Railway Company. The length of the 
 proposed road was to be 38 miles, and was to extend from the Black River 
 at Carthage to the point of intersection above named. The amount of 
 capital stock as fixed in the articles of association was $380,000. The 
 board of directors selected to serve the first year was composed of George 
 Gilbert, Hezekiah Dickerman, Richard Gallagher, Jackson Weaver, Samuel H. 
 Beach, Joseph Palmer, William Palmer, WiUiam Hunt, Silas Bacon, George M. 
 Gleason, Henry Rushton, Lucius Carr, and George Smith. Samuel H. Beach 
 was made president ; George Gilbert, vice-president and secretary ; and 
 Henry Rushton, treasurer. In the winter of 1868 laws were passed author- 
 izing the company to use wood rails instead of iron ; also authorizing the sev- 
 eral towns along the route of the proposed road to issue bonds, and subscribe 
 for and take stock in this company. In pursuance of the provisions of the 
 last named law the town of Wilna subscribed for stock to the amount of 
 $50,000; the town of Diana, Lewis County, subscribed for alike amount;, 
 and both of these towns paid their subscriptions in full. The town of 
 Edwards, in St. Lawrence County, subscribed for stock to the amount of 
 $35,000, but paid only a small part of its subscription. The work of build- 
 ing this road was let to Row, Fields & Co., of Brockville, Canada, in the 
 winter of i868-6g. 
 
 The work of construction was actually commenced on April 29, 1869, and 
 prosecuted by the contractors until about the middle of October of the same 
 year, when some difficulty arose between the directors of the company and 
 the contractors, resulting in the directors assuming the work of construction 
 and the discharge of the contractors. Litigation ensued, but was subse- 
 quently settled ; work was suspended during the winter, but resumed in the 
 spring and prosecuted in a very moderate way until late in the fall, when 
 further operations were stopped for the want of funds. The road was oper- 
 ated, so far as completed, for a part of one year, when it was practically 
 abandoned, and nothing further of any moment was done with it until the or- 
 ganization of the Carthage and Adirondack Railway Company in the spring 
 of 1883. For sometime previous to this Byron D. Benson, of Titusville, Pa.^ 
 had been investigating the extent and character of the deposits of iron ore at 
 Jayville, Fine, and other points in St. Lawrence County, the title to which 
 had been secured by Joseph Palmer, of Harrisville, to be used in aid of the 
 completion of this road. Mr. Benson and his associates became satisfied 
 
COUNTY CHARITIES. 12 J 
 
 that these ores were of sufficient value to warrant the construction of a rail- 
 road from Carthage to Jayville, and a company was organized for that pur- 
 pose, as above stated. The property and franchises of the Black River and 
 St. Lawrence Railway Company were transferred to the new organization, 
 and the work of construction was commenced and prosecuted for a short 
 time, and then suspended until 1886, when the road was completed to Jay- 
 ville, a distance of about 29 miles. In the summer of 1887 an extension was 
 commenced from Jayville to Little River, in the township of Chaumont, St. 
 Lawrence County, which was completed in the summer of 1889. 
 
 Although not as much iron ore has been transported over this road as its 
 promoters expected, yet in other respects the widsom of its construction has 
 been fully demonstrated, and the shipment of ore will undoubtedly be greatly 
 augmented at no distant day. The present company is an outgrowth of the 
 former one, and it is evident that neither would have been formed and the 
 road not constructed but for the untiring efforts of Mr. Gilbert from the first 
 conception of the enterprise until the fall of 1869, subsequently reenforced by 
 Mr. Palmer's efforts in directing attention to the mineral resources of the 
 country penetrated by it. 
 
 TAe Rome and Carthage Railroad is a contemplated line, with terminal 
 points at the places named. The company has been incorporated, and J. C. 
 Smith, of Rome, is president ; Chester Ray, of Martinsburg, vice-president ; 
 A. W. Orton, of Rome, secretary and treasurer. 
 
 The Dexter and Ontario Railroad is also a contemplated line to extend 
 from Dexter village to connect with the R., W. & O., about two miles from 
 Brownville village. James A. Outterson is president of the company. 
 
 COUNTY CHARITIES. 
 
 Those who from age, infirmity, or otherwise become unable to support 
 themselves, and are so unfortunate as to be obliged to rely upon public char- 
 ity for support, are provided with a comfortable home on the county poor- 
 farm, situated in the town of Pamelia, one mile below Watertown city. The 
 first county poor-farm was located in the town of Le Ray. The present 
 farm was purchased in 1833, and cost, including buildings erected soon after 
 the purchase, $6,123.36. In 1855 a lunatic asylum was built of brick, at a 
 cost of $4,811.57. In 1870 the poor-house was remodeled and rebuilt at an 
 expense of $13,750. In 1887 other improvements and additions were made, 
 and it will now accommodate 150 inmates. The present superintendent of 
 the poor-farm is John Washburn. 
 
 The Jefferson County Orphan Asylum has served a most useful purpose 
 since it was started as the "Watertown Home" in 1859. It is a brick struct- 
 ure, and is pleasantly located on Franklin street, surrounded by a beautiful 
 grove. The institution is ably managed, and more than maintains itself. 
 A. O. Freeman is superintendent ; Mrs. A. O. Freeman, matron ; G. W.

 are cared for here. 
 
 STAPLE PRODUCTS, ASSESSED VALUATION, ETC. 
 
 The soil generally of Jefferson County is of average fertility. The districts 
 underlaid by limestone and slate are exceedingly fertile, and particularly 
 adapted to dairying and the raising of spring grains. The intervales are also 
 remarkably fertile, while the ridges are often naked rock. The soil, over a 
 part of the sandstone, is too thin for cultivation, but the barren region is 
 •comparatively limited. Barley, oats, corn, rye, and peas are staple products. 
 For many years, from the first settlement of the territory, manufactures have 
 received much attention, and employed a large amount of capital. They 
 have been principally carried on along the line of Black River, and are quite 
 'fully described in the sketches of the towns in which they are located. The 
 growing of hay for the great markets has become a chief staple, and we are 
 told by a New York dealer that Jefferson County grows the best hay that 
 •comes to that market. Ship-building and lake commerce form prominent 
 pursuits at several points along the lake and St. Lawrence River. 
 
 To give the reader an idea of the business of the county in the early days 
 we quote the following from Stafford's Gazetteer of 1813: — 
 
 " Agreeable to the census of 1810, there are in this county 660 looms; 16 tanneries, 16 dis- 
 tineries, two breweries; eight clothiers, five carding machines, and seven or eight large ash- 
 •eries, which produce large quantities of pot and peajrl ashes, and bring much money into the 
 county." 
 
 In the same author's Gazetteer, of 1825, the following for 1820-21 is 
 quoted: — 
 
 ** Statistics. — * * * Postoffices, 20; persons engaged in agriculture, 8,907; in commerce, 134; 
 in manufactures, 1,603; slaves, 6; free blacks, 135; school districts, 165, in which schools are kept 
 an average of seven months in 12; public money received in 1821, $3,071.77; No. of children 
 between five and 15 years of age, 8,000; No. of persons taught in the schools, 8,444; electors, 
 7,196; taxable property, ©2,483,671; acres of improved land, 122,209; neat cattle, 34,896; 
 horses, 6,118; sheep, 59,448; yards of fuU cloth made in the household way in 1821, 54,470; 
 yards of flannel, 77,082; yards of linen, cotton, and other thin cloths, 144,758=276,310 yards; 
 55 grist-mills; 98 saw-miUs; one oil-mill; 27 fulling-mills; 27 oardingmaohines; fourootton and 
 woolen manufactories; four forges; one furnace; 10 trip-hammers; 33 distilleries; 139 ash- 
 •eries; two paper-mills; and two printing offices." 
 
 From the census report of i88o we find that Jefferson County, in that 
 year, had 6,422 farms, representing an area of 594,899 acres of improved 
 land, valued at $26,869,176, including fences, buildings, etc. The value of 
 farming implements and machinery was $1,009,347 ; value of live stock, 
 $3,468,873 ; cost of building and repairing fences (1879), $86,458 ; cost of 
 fertilizers purchased in 1879, $9>2i4; estimated value of all farm produc- 
 tions (sold, consumed, or on hand) for 1879, $5,199,352. 
 
 In 1880 the principal vegetable productions of the county were : Barley, 
 393,024 bushels ; buckwheat, 33,556 bushels ; Indian corn, 357,964 bushels ; 
 
STAPLE PRODUCTS, ASSESSED VALUATION, ETC. 
 
 129- 
 
 oats, 1,256,468 bushels; rye, 57,312 bushels; wheat, 189,322 bushels;, 
 orchard products valued at $86,105 i "hay, 236,060 tons ; hops, 135,955 
 pounds; Irish potatoes, 460,881 bushels; tobacco, 1,850 pounds. Of live 
 stock in the county there were 17,463 horses, 45 mules and asses, 427 work- 
 ing oxen, 61,900 milch cows, 29,280 other cattle, 15,642 swine, and 18,748 
 sheep (exclusive of spring lambs), which produced 90,975 pounds of wool. 
 Of dairy products there were i3,26r,68o gallons of milk, 4,071,740 pounds 
 of butter, and 283,990 pounds of cheese.

 CHEESEMAKING. 
 
 The following account of the first manufacture of cheese for market in Jef- 
 ferson County is extracted from an article written by Mrs. John A. Sherman, 
 and read before the Historical Society in April, 1887: — 
 
 " My husband and myself were the pioneers in that now vast industry, having commenced 
 making cheese for sale in 1834. The causes that led to our starting the business were so in- 
 terwoven with the circumstances of Mr. Sherman's family at that date that a brief hislory of 
 his early struggles may not be inappropriate, and may be of interest to the people of the pres- 
 ent day. 
 
 " Alfred Sherman, the father of my husband, diea in 1827, five years before our marriage, 
 leaving a widow and six children to obtain the necessaries of life, on an unproductive farm of 
 90 acres. My husband, who was then 17 years of age, and was living with Norris M. Woodruff, 
 of Watertown, was called home to care for the widowed mother and her children, five younger 
 than himself. But little change for the better had taken place in the family at the time of 
 our marriage, November 17, 1832. It was arranged that we should take the farm and pay 
 off the heirs as they became of age. To Mr. Sherman, with all his energy, it looked like an 
 endless task, and he was also discouraged by unforeseen and unexpected misfortune. A large 
 flock of sheep had all died, and also a fine colt, and there was a hundred dollars due Adriel 
 Ely that he could see no way of paying. At this point in our severe struggles there came a 
 ray of light. A young man and his wife from Herkimer County purchased a farm adjoining 
 ours, and as soon as convenient I called and made friends of our new neighbors. I found the 
 lady in poor health. She said the farmers of Herkimer County had all got rich from cheese- 
 making, but it had broken down all the wives and daughters with hard work. Caring little 
 for the hai'dship I immediately resolved that we should have some cows and make cheese. 
 Why could not cheese be made in Jefferson as well as in Herkimer County ? I hastened home- 
 
130 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 with the inspiration of hope, to mature the plan with my husband, which he readily approved, 
 and before sleeping that night he had resolved to loan the money of Mr. Woodruff, and go to 
 Canada for the cows. 
 
 " As spring was upon us there was no time to lose, and in three days he was in Canada 
 buying cows, and one week from that time we were milking many of them. He had driven 
 the cows across the St. Lawrence River, with the snow and water nearly knee-deep, and the 
 ice dangerously thin in many places. Foot-sore and weary he reached home late in the even- 
 ing, to spend a sleepless night of suffering from his blistered feet. We were soon in readiness 
 to make our first cheese, and the Herkimer County lady, as she had promised, was ready to 
 teach me. As the process was simple I was, in about three days, an independent cheese- 
 maker. Our first cheese was a wonderful one, and weighed 40 pounds. We had never seen so 
 large a cheese before. Our little hoop would not hold the curd, and the now Kev. Jedediah 
 Winslow, who was then a member of our family, a tall, handsome youth of 16 years, was sent 
 in great haste to Dr. Kimball's to borrow a hoop. Mr. Sherman told him to run the horse. 
 
 " Our admiration knew no bounds. This promise of future prosperity — this first cheese — 
 was absolutely on the table, and I had made it, and could make any number more. Little did 
 I think then that this was the starting point of a great and important business in Jefferson 
 County. We had improvised rude and inexpensive implements for present use, that would 
 look curious to the dairymen in this day of gi-eat inventions and labor-saving machinery. I 
 distinctly remember the press, a rough plank, and probably a ton or more of stones thereon. 
 It was worked by a lever, lifting it off and onto the cheese by main strength. It was a 
 terror to me, whed I was sometimes left alone, to use it. But rude as the implements were 
 they served our purpose, but were not labor-saving. The making of the cheese was but a 
 small part of the labor. Order and cleanliness were absolutely necessary, to maintain which 
 required plenty of water, which had to be lifted over the top of a cistern and drawn up from 
 the ■well in the old oaken bucket. There was much discussion at the time as to the propriety 
 of making cheese on Sunday; but as we must do that, or nearly waste our milk, we continued 
 to make it on Sunday with no compunctious of conscience, and we were as early to church as 
 our neighbors, riding in the farm wagon. Sometimes, on great occasions, Grandmother Sher- 
 man would come and take us in her carriage. 
 
 " We had commenced this new mdustry in the early spring, and, there being no one to 
 purchase the cheese, had continued its maniifacture until our temporary rooms and tables 
 were full to overflowing. By the advice of Mr. Crosby, our new friend from Herkimer, Mr. 
 Sherman sent it to New York to be sold. It took 21 days by lake and canal to reach there. It 
 proved to be good, sold readily, and we soon had returns at six cents a pound, suificient to 
 pay for every cow. But this was not all of our product. At the close of the season we had 15 
 beautiful calves, one room full of cheese, several tubs of butter, and plenty of everything 
 after the summer's product was sold. We cured the late-made cheese with stove-heat, and 
 kept it for spring market. 
 
 " There soon joined us on the dairy business such men as Isaac Mnnson, C. P. Kimball, 
 Daniel Sherman, Moses Eames, Franklin Hunt, Clift Fames, David Granger, Z. Larned, Henry 
 Hopkins, Gardner Town, Jerod Canfield, arid a host of others. But these were our immedi- 
 ate friends and neighbors. We had many visitors to see and many to learn the art of cheese- 
 making, and we all had much to learn from experience, and, as in everything in life, we never 
 arrived at a state of perfection. Moses Eames, the following year, made a journey to Herki- 
 mer County, to learn the best mode of building for the manufacture and cure of cheese, but 
 not approving of the Herkimer buildings, he constructed a building after a plan of his own, 
 which was every way convenient, with running water and steam. Franklin Hunt's dairy build- 
 ings were the first built in the county. Moses Barnes's cheese-house, which but recently sur- 
 vived the destructive fire which swept away the old home, was one of the finest in this county, 
 a,nd recalls recollections of pleasures past. These two buildings were the first, and are stand- 
 ing monuments of enterprise in the great business that spread rapidly over the county, re- 
 sulting in prosi>erity to all classes. 
 
 "The winter was our season of rest and social gatherings, and the few of us who are left 
 well remember the joyous festivities of the farmers of that day. There were no factories for 
 many years to lighten our labors, bat the butter and cheese was all made in our own homes, 
 and with our own hands, and the farmers of the present know little of the hardships of our 
 
STAPLE PRODUCTS. I31 
 
 day, and perhaps little of our pleasures. The business was new and exciting, and cemented 
 us in the bonds of friendship and interest for each other's prosperity. lu a very few years 
 prosperous results were very perceptible in the farmers of .Jefferson County. They could ride 
 In line carriages, dress in rich clothing, furnish their homes pleasantly, send their children to 
 the High school, have an instrument of music for their daughters, and good teachers to in- 
 struct them. Their daughters were also required to help do the work, and were taught that 
 good housekeeping was an accomplishment essential to their education, and we could trust 
 them to make good bread and coffee, prepare a farmer's boiled dinner, or anything required 
 for the table. The business was very prosperous to us, and Mr. Sherman added farm to farm, 
 until we had nearly 400 acres of land, and had also increased the number of cows to, I thinlc, 
 about 50 — 20 being our first number. The large farm and dairy required many laborers, who 
 had constant employment, and occupied the different houses belonging to the farm, — three in 
 number, besides our own home, — to one of which our dairy was removed, and ever after the 
 ■cheese was made by the laborers, until the dear old home passed into other hands, and we to 
 other scenes far less congenial than our quiet rural life." 
 
 FROM I 86 1 TO 1890.* 
 
 The cooperative cheese factory system was first started in Jefferson County 
 in 1861. David Hamlin, of Watertown, was the first in this county to 
 make the milk of other dairies into cheese. He charged from $1.75 to $2.00 
 for every 100 pounds of milk that he manufactured into cheese. They were 
 not cheddared as now, and not uniform in size, weighing all the way from 
 100 to 300 pounds each. They were sold at anywhere from 20 to 25 cents per 
 pound. From 1861 to 1879 there was a rapid growth in the number of new 
 factories erected, and a vast change in the method of its manufacture. At 
 present there are 98 factories in Jefferson County, which produce 150,000 
 cheese annually, equal to 9,000,000 pounds. Manufacturers do not get on 
 an average $1.05 for every too pounds of milk manufactured into cheese. 
 Most all of these cheese are cheddared, and the average weight is just 60 
 pounds each. Three-fourths of the county's cheese is exported to foreign 
 •countries. The average price for the past 10 years has been just $0.092343, 
 nearly 9J cents per pound. 
 
 Since 1888 very little Limburger cheese has been manufactured in Jeffer- 
 son County. The cheese factories have taken the place of butter factories 
 and creameries, and there are only four in active operation during the sum- 
 mer months. 
 
 The cheese of this county are sold principally on the board of trade, which 
 was organized in 1874, and known as the " Watertown Board of Trade and 
 Jefferson County Dairymen's Association." Of the 150,000 cheese manu- 
 factured in this county annually, 50,000 of them are sold directly upon this 
 board, and the balance at the weekly ruling, average or extreme prices paid 
 for the direct purchases. This board holds weekly sales days, beginning the 
 first Saturday in May, and continuing until the season's product is all sold, 
 when it adjourns to the following May. This organization is sustained by 
 the annual dues of factories represented, which was formerly $3 each per

 annum, but in 1889 was reduced to $2. Buyers doing business on the board 
 pay the same as is charged the factories. At the annual meeting of the fac- 
 tories a patron is chosen to represent the factory at the board, and sell the 
 cheese during the season. This board has proved quite a boon to dairymen, 
 as it brings buyers together in competition, and often it is the case that prices- 
 paid in Watertown are relatively higher than those ruling in New York. 
 
 The Jefferson County Butter and Cheese makers' Association was organ- 
 ized February 2, iSSg. According to article 2 of its constitution the objects- 
 of this society are to "further promote the interests of the dairymen of Jef- 
 ferson County; to advance the standard of their goods ; to enforce all laws 
 which are now or may hereafter be enacted in their interest ; and by thorough 
 organization be prepared by petition or otherwise to further promote the wel- 
 fare of this association and the interests of the dairymen at large." 
 
 The officers of the society for 1889 were: E. A. Ayers, of Rice's, presi- 
 dent ; D. A. Goodrich, of South Champion, James Purcell, of Sterlingville, 
 Anson Miller, of Rodman, vice-presidents ; A. W. Munk, of Watertown,. 
 secretary; R. H. Bent, of Antwerp, treasurer. 
 
 JEFFERSON COUNTY GRANGE.* 
 
 Previous to 1873 there had been in this county several farmers' clubs, but 
 no attempt had ever been made to organize the farmers into one complete 
 organization for purposes of protection and cooperation. The town of Ellis- 
 burgh had long been noted for the character of its inhabitants. Its early set- 
 tlers were mainly from New England, bringing with them habits of thrift and' 
 frugality. For many years successful township fairs were held in Belleville,, 
 and a well-attended farmers' club was one of the means whereby the settlers 
 were kept posted and in advance of their brethern in other parts of the 
 county. It is not strange, then, that when the Patrons of Husbandry, com- 
 monly called " The Grange," were beginning to attract attention, that these 
 hardy and wide-awake sons of toil should be the first to investigate its merits. 
 At a meeting of the Farmers' Club, held at the residence of H. W. Milliard, 
 June 27, 1873, the first Grange in the county, and the fifth in the state, was 
 organized, with 30 charter members. William H. H. Ellsworth was elected' 
 master, and V. C. Warriner, secretary. A dispensation was granted by the 
 National Grange, dated July 22, followed by the charter, dated January 26, 
 1874. Thus was set in motion in this county what was destined to be the 
 greatest and most complete organization of the farming class the world has 
 ever seen. Other towns were quick to begin work in a like manner, and July 
 5, at the meeting of the Farmers' Club at Watertown, it was voted to start 
 a Grange at the next meeting, which was held July 12, when Watertown 
 Grange, No. 7, was started, with 25 charter members, A. H. Hall being its first 
 master, and Curtis Terry, secretary.

JEFFERSON COUNTY GRANGE. 133 
 
 Granges were now rapidly organized in all parts of the county, and it seemed 
 as though they would carry everything before them ; but with the increased 
 membership (and there had not been at this time that close scrutiny as to who 
 should be admitted that came with later years) many of the Granges were 
 made up of characters something like we used to, in the school days, count 
 off buttons on the boys' vests, 
 
 " Eich-man, poor-man, beggar-man, thief. 
 Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief," 
 
 and a few farmers. Many of the broken-down politicians and sore-heads'- 
 were quick to avail themselves of an opportunity to join the Grange, with the- 
 hope and expectation that in the near future a strong political party would' 
 grow out of it. This brought into the organization an element that waS' 
 foreign and antagonistic to all its aims and objects; and as the farmers here- 
 tofore had had but limited experience in meetings of this kind, they had but 
 little chance to carry out, compared to the wily politicians, what they would 
 like to have accomplished, and what the Grange was originally intended for. 
 
 In the fall of 1874 A. C. Middleton was nominated for state senator 
 by the Grangers of Lewis and Jefferson counties, and although the district 
 was largely Repubhcan, with the assistance of the Democrats, who made no 
 nomination, he was elected by a majority of more than 800. His election so 
 elated many of the members that before another election time had come the 
 aspirants for office was so numerous that jealousies arose in different locali- 
 ties, which caused much dissension in the different Granges. As the discus- 
 sion of politics in the meetings was strictly prohibited by the constitution of 
 the Grange, those who cared more for the good of the order than the spoils 
 of office demanded that all matters of this kind be discontinued in the Grange 
 meetings. The politicians, quick to see that only through united strength 
 could they achieve success, began to drop out, and in a year or so the mem- 
 bership had greatly diminished. Many of the Granges were allowed to die 
 out, and others barely existed. 
 
 Not until 1885 did there seem to be much change in the standing of the 
 order. The fire insurance, which had been in operation for several years, the 
 benefits of which were confined to members in good standing, had so far 
 been the means of saving a large amount of money to its patrons. Other 
 insurance companies having raised their rates on farm property, and the con- 
 tinual depression of farm products, caused many of the leading farmers to look 
 around for some way in which they might lessen their expenses. At this time 
 the Grange was the only avenue. The public press, instead of ridicuhng the 
 society as formerly, published extensive articles calHng the attention of the 
 farmers to the advantages to be derived from a thorough organization. This 
 caused a healthy revival in its favor, and many new members were received. 
 
 At the session of Pomona Grange, held in Belleville in June, 1889, a com- 
 mittee was appointed to ascertain the advisabihty of holding a farmers' pic- 
 
 9* 
 
134 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 nic in August. After quite an animated discussion, as to what the object 
 was in calling such a meeting, it was said to be partly for the purpose of get- 
 ting together, comparing ideas, and, if thought best, to put in nomination a 
 candidate for member of Assembly in the First District, and perhaps a full 
 county ticket to be composed of farmers. This was strongly opposed by 
 Tnany who favored only making a nomination for member. Before the meet- 
 ing closed, however, it was voted to hold the picnic and convention at Hen- 
 derson Harbor, August 8 and g. No vote was taken as to what should be 
 done at the picnic, but the impression went forth and gained rapidly that 
 nominations would be made, and when the time arrived it was estimated that 
 full 3,000 were in attendance. On the second day of this meeting delegates 
 were appointed from the different towns in the First Assembly District, and 
 called to meet in the village of Adams, August 14, to put in nomination a 
 candidate for member from that district. The delegates met and nominated 
 L. D. Olney, of Rutland, and adopted resolutions settmg forth their wants 
 and grievances. Later in the canvass Mr. Olney resigned on account of 
 business relations, and Floyd C. Overton was nominated in his stead. The 
 nomination of the Grangers was indorsed by the Democrats, but the Repub- 
 lican majority of 1,600 in the district could not be overcome, and Mr. Over- 
 ton was defeated by a majority of 172. The result of this so encouraged the 
 farmers that in a few weeks five new Granges were started, and the old ones 
 nearly doubled in membership. 
 
 The State Grange held its 17th annual session in Watertown, February 4 to 
 7, inclusive, the first ever held in the northern part of the state, and was said to 
 have been the largest, in point of numbers in attendance, in its history. 
 
 There are now, in the county, about 26 Granges, with a membership of 
 more than 1,600. Of these, " Watertown," " Star," " Indian River,'' " South 
 Rutland," and " Pamelia " Granges own buildings, while the others rent.

 The future prospects of the Granges are very flattering, and it is thought 
 that in a short time they will embrace in their membership 75 per cent, of 
 the farmers of the county. 
 
 MANUFACTURES. 
 
 The manufacturing interests of Jefferson County have been generally writ- 
 ten up in the sketches of the towns and Watertown city, in which the many 
 important industries of this character are located. In addition to these we 
 are fortunate in being able to give the following history of the paper-mills of 
 this county, prepared by John C. Knowlton, of Watertown : — 
 
 SKETCH OF PAPER MANUFACTURE. 
 
 The beginnings of the papermaking industry in Jefferson County are to be 
 credited to Gurdon Caswell, who was born in Norwich, Conn., in 1783. He 
 
136 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 was a tailor by trade, and in 1804 came to Westmoreland, Oneida County. 
 At Walesville, Oneida County, about nine miles west from Utica, was, and 
 still is, a paper-mill on Oriskany Creek, which, in 1804, was owned by Nathan- 
 iel Loomis and his son Erastus. Now Nathaniel had not only a son, but 
 also a daughter, Mary, and the young tailor from Connecticut forthwith fell 
 in love with and married her, and joined his fortunes with his father in-law in 
 the paper-mill. He must have found papermaking more attractive than the 
 tailor's bench, for, in 1808, when the Black River country was the Mecca for 
 so many pilgrims from the Mohawlfl region, Gurdon Caswell came to Water- 
 town and built the first paper-mill on the south bank of the river opposite 
 Beebee's Island, above Cowan's grist-mill. This site was about where the 
 easteily end of Knowlton Brothers' wood pulp-mill now stands, and may have 
 been partly in Mill street, for there was no street or bridge there in 1808. 
 The building was a two-story frame structure, 35x50 feet, but a considerable 
 part of the second floor was used for a wool-carding machine. The machin- 
 ery in this mill consisted of a small rag engine, or Hollander, carrying about 
 150 pounds of rags ; two or three potash kettles set in a brick arch, for boil- 
 ing the rags and preparing the sizing ; one vat for making the paper, sheet by 
 sheet; and a rude standing press to squeeze the water out of the pack, as the 
 pile of alternate felts and wet sheets was called. After pressing the sheets 
 were taken from the pack and hung on poles to dry, and, if intended for 
 writing purposes, were afterward dipped in sizing, a few sheets at a lime, and 
 dried again. There was no steam used in any part of this process ; no 
 chlorine for bleaching; no calendering, the substitute for the latter being 
 pressing between boards. 
 
 Such a mill costing from $3,000 to $5,000 would employ four or five men 
 and as many women, and was capable of turning out 150 pounds of paper 
 per day ; but there was httle of the pushing that to-day crowds every ma- 
 chine to its utmost capacity. Rags were scarce, the demand for paper limited, 
 and the men had an uncomfortable habit of going on prolonged drunken 
 sprees, when all work must come to a stop. Caswell called the mill " The 
 Pioneer Mill." William Thornton and Gardner White were interested with 
 him in building it. 
 
 It continued to make paper till r833, when Knowlton & Rice, who had 
 bought the mill in 1824, sold the lot and moved the building to their new 
 premises, a few rods further up stream. The old building, as removed, still 
 stands on Factory street, in front of Knowlton Brothers' mill, and is used by 
 them for a storehouse. Caswell's family remained in Oneida County till 
 1814, when he bought a farm on State street, know later as the Emerson prop- 
 erty, and removed them to Watertown. In 18 19 he built his second mill 
 on Factory Square, between N. Wiley's machine shop and Fairbanks's tan- 
 nery, a part of the property now owned by the H, H. Babcock Co. This 
 mill was soon sold to his brother, Henry Caswell, and brother in law, Erastus 
 Loomis, and in r824 was bought by Knowlton & Rice, who co; tinued to use

 it till February 7, 1833, when it was burned with Fairbanks's tannery and sev- 
 eral other buildings. 
 
 In 1823 Caswell, in company with Ralph Clapp and William K. Asherd, built 
 his third mill on Sewall's Island, occupying part of the premises now owned 
 by the Bagley & Sewall Co. This mill was torn down about 1830. Gurdon 
 Caswell removed to Clayton, Jeflferson County, in 1832, and died there in 
 1862, aged 78 years. 
 
 In 1824 George W. Knowlton and Clark Rice, then living at Brattleboro, 
 Vt., bought of Joseph Fessenden, of Brattleboro, the first two mills built by 
 Caswell for $7,000. For the next 30 years, till 1854, Knowlton & Rice were, 
 with unimportant exceptions, the only paper manufacturers in Jefferson 
 County. In 1833 they abandoned both the old mills, and built on the site 
 now occupied by the easterly half of Knowlton Brothers' mill a new mill, 
 with two rag engines and the first machinery for making a continuous sheet 
 of paper (36-inch cylinder). At first the wet web of paper was wound on a 
 reel, cut open with a knife, and dried on poles as before; but copper dryers, 
 calenders, and a cutter were added, and the mill ran successfully until 1848, 
 when it was burned on March 21, in a great fire which swept several manu- 
 factories from the south shore of Black River, opposite Beebee's Island. It 
 was immediately replaced by a brick mill having three rag engines and im- 
 proved machinery. The capacity of this mill was 600 pounds to 700 pounds 
 per day. This mill continued to run till 1869, when it was practically rebuilt 
 by Knowlton Brothers and equipped with modern machinery. 
 
 In 1854 Knowlton & Rice retired from active business and sold the mill 
 to Brown & Chamberlin, of Dalton, Mass., though either Mr. Knowlton or 
 Mr. Rice retained an interest in the business most of the time till i86r, when 
 Mr. Knowlton 's sons, John C. and George W., Jr., bought the mill, and un- 
 der the name of Knowlton Brothers still continue the business, having added 
 adjacent premises and additional buildings as their business increased. 
 
 Up to 1854 most paper-mills had made a great variety of papers, partly to 
 use up all kinds of stock collected and partly to supply the local demand for 
 different kinds of paper. Wrapping paptr, news paper, paper for school 
 books and blank books, ruled foolscap, and letter papers were all turned out 
 of the same mill with the same machinery, the main difference being in the 
 quality of the rags used, for all the stock was rags in those days. But after 
 the completion of railroads, and the greatly increased facilities for the ex- 
 change of goods with remoter parts of the country, it was found to be more 
 economical for each mill to have its specialty and confine itself to one line of 
 goods. Thus the Brown & Chamberlin mill — subsequently operated by 
 Chamberlin, Farwell & Co. and Knowlton Brothers — was about this time 
 devoted entirely to the making of writing papers, and so continued till 1873, 
 when its product was changed to colored papers. 
 
 In 1854 I. Remington & Sons, then operating a mill at Fayetteville, N. Y., 
 eased the long-idle Juhelville cotton-mill from P. O'Dougherty, and fitted 
 
138 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 it up for papermaking, with four rag engines and an 84-inch Fourdrinier 
 machine. The mill was run entirely on newspaper. It had a capacity of 
 one ton per day and was, in those days, considered a large mill. The firm 
 was composed of Illustrious Remington and his two sons, Hiram and Al- 
 fred D. A. D. Remington removed to Watertowh, and to his energy, busi- 
 ness ability, and mechanical skill much of the development of the paper- 
 making industry in this section is due. In 1863 he became sole proprietor 
 of the mill, and in 1865 organized the Remington Paper Co., now operating 
 one of the most extensive plants in the country. On the expiration of the 
 O'Dougherty lease, in 1867, the mill was removed to Sewall's Island, and in 
 1869 the first wood pulp machinery was introduced. From that time there 
 has been an almost constant increase of facilities and capacity until now the 
 Remington Paper Co. operates two large paper mills, three wood pulp-mills, 
 and one sulphite fibre-mill, the daily output of paper being 30 tons, all made 
 from spruce logs on its own premises, no rags or other fibre being used. 
 
 In 1862 the mill now owned by the Watertown Paper Co. was built by 
 A. D. Remington, at the island end of the upper dam, crossing the south 
 channel at Sewall's Island. This mill was for many years operated by Hirara 
 Remington and Charles R. Remington, a third son of I. Remington. Since 
 i88r it has been owned by H. Remington & Son. 
 
 The mill now owned by the Taggart Bros. Co., on the lower dam in Wa- 
 tertown, was formerly a distillery and fiouring-raill, built by William H. 
 Angel. The buildings were purchased by West, Palmer & Taggart in 1866, 
 and paper machinery put in the western part of the buildings. Subsequently 
 all the buildings were utilized for papermaking, part of the product being 
 paper made frcm manilla rope, which is made into fiour sacks on the prem- 
 ises. B. B. Taggart and W. W. Taggart have been identified with this en- 
 terprise from the first, and are now largely interested in the Taggarts Paper 
 Co., owning a fine new mill at Felt's Mills. 
 
 Charles R. Remington sold his interest in the Watertown Paper Go's 
 mill in x88i, and in company with his son Charles H. built a mill three 
 miles below Watertown, at Wood's Falls. This mill has a magnificent power, 
 3.000 to 4,000 h. p., and is equalled only by the Ontario Pjper Co's power 
 just below it. C. R. Remington & Son use most of this power in their ex- 
 tensive wood pulp mills. 
 
 After the completion of the Sackets Harbor Canal a hand mill was built 
 there about 1836, by Elisha Carap, and was burned on May 23, 1S38. 
 
 The Great Bend Paper Co's mill, built by George Clark in 1868, was 
 at first intended for a straw board-mill, but machinery was soon put in for 
 making hanging paper. After Mr. Clark's death (1887) the mill was pur- 
 chased by F. A. Fletcher, of Watertown (1888), who associated with himself 
 E. H. Thompson, also of Watertown, and made extensive additions to it, 
 continuing to operate it under the name of Great Bend Paper Co. 
 
MANUFACTURES. 
 
 139 
 
 The manufacture of straw boards was begun in Brownville in 1880, by 
 Haight & Lane Bros. This mill later developed into the paper-mill of the 
 Black River Paper Co., now known as Globe Paper Co. 
 
 The development of the paper industry since 1887 has been so rapid that 
 the details must be looked for under the accounts of the several towns. The 
 table appended gives a full statement of all mills now in operation in the 
 county, with the full daily capacity (not average product) of each, and dates 
 of commencement of the business, and also date of organization of present 
 company or firm. The 13 companies operate 14 mills, with 19 Fourdrinier 
 and two cylinder machines, and have a daily capacity of 140 tons.

 Wood pulp. — When the Vcelter process for grinding wood for paper pulp 
 was introduced into this country it was at once adopted by the Remington 
 Paper Co., who started their first wood pulp-mill in 1869. 
 
 Owing to our abundant water-power, and our proximity to forests of suit- 
 able ti'mber, there has been, in recent years, a rapid increase in the produc- 
 tion of this pulp, which is now essential for the making of news paper. 
 
 The table below gives the names of the mills now in operation. Most of 
 these, it will be seen, belong to the papermakers, and produce pulp for 
 their own consumption. A limited part of the product is shipped to mills 
 out of the county. The date given is either organization of the company, 
 or, in case of some of the older mills, the date when they began to make 
 wood pulp.

 Sulphite fibre.— Ty^o large mills for the production of this new and im- 
 portant addition to our resources for paper stock have recently been com- 
 pleted. This fibre, made from wood, is much more costly than the ground 
 wood pulp, but in strength and color can be made to equal the best rag 
 stock, and is used by all the mills to take the place of rags.

 WAR OF 1812. 
 
 For 30 years after the independence of the colonies was acknowledged by 
 the mother country peace brooded over all the land, and the free American 
 states had rapidly advanced in prosperity. The troubles which preceded the 
 declaration of war in 18 12 are familiar to all. England, seeming to forget 
 that her American offspring had arrived at maturity and was able to protect 
 its own institutions, and looking upon herself as mistress of the ocean, dur- 
 ing her wars with Napoleon, utterly disregarded the rights of the United 
 States as a neutral nation. Her cruisers would stop and search American 
 vessels and seize such able-bodied seamen as were needed, on the pretext 
 that they were British subjects. An American frigate, not in condition to 
 resist, having been subjected to this indignity almost within sight of an 
 American port, after receiving several broadsides for denying the right of 
 such search, the President issued a proclamation ordering all British ships of 
 war to quit the waters of the United States. Congress also laid an embargo 
 on American vessels, detaining them at home, but afterwards substituted a 
 non-intercourse act, prohibiting trade with Great Britain. Notwithstanding 
 all this, England persisted in her offensive course. All hopes of obtaming 
 
PATRIOT WAR WAR FOR THE UNION. I4I 
 
 concessions on the injpressment question from her were at length abandoned. 
 George III., who was still on the throne, had become insane, and the men 
 who managed affairs were as short-sighted as his advisers had been 40 years 
 before, whose folly had provoked the Revolution. Longer submission to 
 England's arrogant and tyranical treatment was deemed unworthy of a free 
 nation, and war was therefore formally declared June 18, 1812. 
 
 Jefferson County early became the theater of active military and naval 
 operations. Sackets Harbor was then the most important point on Lake 
 Ontario. It was made the headquarters of the northern division of the 
 American fleet, and here were fitted out numerous important expeditions 
 against the British in Canada. The main incidents of this war, as connected 
 with this territory, are generally given in the " Gazetteer of Towns," follow- 
 ing the County Chapter. It was the intention of the publisher of this work 
 to give a detailed account, under this heading, of all the military and naval 
 operations originating and transpiring on the frontier of Jefferson County ; 
 but the materials at hand, and not previously published, regarding other 
 matters of importance, have taken so much space that we deem it advisable 
 to curtail this subject here, and refer the reader, for a full account, to 
 Hough's History of Jefferson County, pubbshed in 1854, and also to Everts's 
 History of 1878. 
 
 PATRIOT WAR. 
 
 Many of the exciting incidents of the Patriot War, 1837-40, are also given 
 in the " Gazetteer of Towns." For the reasons mentioned above we will 
 omit further mention of the subject here, and respectfully refer the reader to 
 the histories previously named, in which will be found detailed and interest- 
 ing accounts of this foolish and abortive attempt to revolutionize the 
 Canadas. 
 
 WAR FOR THE UNION. 
 
 For nearly half a century after the War of 181 2 the angel Peace gave her 
 sweetest smiles to the industrious and patriotic inhabitants of the Empire 
 state. No affairs of the nation called them from their peaceful avocations, 
 and nothing disturbed the tranquil serenity of their busy lives. The sun 
 rose each day and smiled on a happy, prosperous, and contented people ; but 
 alas ! on the morning of April 21, 1861, it awakened no answering smile in 
 their hearts, which were touched with the fire of patriotism and burned with 
 martial ardor. The dreams of peace were forgotten ; naught was remem- 
 bered but the insulted fiag^ — the flag purchased by the blood of their fathers, 
 — to which they owed their liberties, homes, and the plenty that surrounded 
 them. 
 
 Side by side with her sister states New York endured the weary marches 
 and bore the brunt of battles, and side by side their sons sleep the long

 sleep — some 'neath the sun-kissed plains of the willful South, and some 
 rocked in the bosom of the broad Atlantic, "held in the hollow of His hand." 
 Others have been borne to rest among their kindred by sympathizing friends, 
 who, year by year, to muffled drum-beat, wend their way to their consecrated 
 tombs to deck their graves with beautiful spring flowers — a national tribute 
 to the gallant dead. Jefferson County gave Uberally of her treasure, and 
 quite 5, GOO of her sons went forth to battle for the preservation of the na- 
 tion's unity, and to free our country from the curse of slavery, so long a foul 
 blot upon her fair fame. From the beginning of the war until the close of 
 1864 the county had paid, according to the report of the Bureau for 1865, 
 bounties to the amount of $333,475.16. 
 
 Following is a brief account of the regiments in which residents of Jeffer- 
 son County served, taken from Everts's History of Jefferson County. In part 
 II. of this work, in the general directory, will be found the individual record 
 of many of the soldiers of the war now living in the county. Space will not 
 permit of a complete and separate roster of all: — 
 
 TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY. 
 
 " Company K of this regiment was organized at Ellisburgh, by Andrew J. Barney, who 
 became its captain. The regiment was organized and numbered by the State MiKtary Board, 
 May 16, 1861, and on .Inly 2 it was mustered into the service of the United States, leaving 
 Elmira the same day, fully armed and equipped, and proceeding via Harrisburg and Balti- 
 more to Washington, where it arrived July 3, and camped on Meridian Hill till July 21, at 
 which date it received long Enlield rifled muskets in exchange for the percussion muskets 
 with which it had left New York state. During the winter of 1861-62 the regiment was en- 
 camped on Upton's Hill. After being brigaded differently several times it was, in March, 
 1862, assigned to the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Corps, and in September, 1862, the brigade 
 was known as the * Iron Brigade,' commanded by General Hatch and Colonel Sullivan. Col. 
 Phelps, of the 22d Regiment, took command of the brigade September 14, and continued in 
 that position until its dissolution by reason of the expiration of the terms of service of the 
 22d, 2ith, and 30th regiments. 
 
 " After various minor engagements a sharp skirmish was had in Ma}^. 1862, called the bat- 
 tle of Falmouth. August 10 they left Falmouth for Cedar Mountain (sometimes called Slaugh- 
 ter Mountain), where they stayed four days under artillery fire, the regiment losing one man 
 killed'in Company D. On August 28 they were under fire at Groveton, but were not engaged. 
 On the 30th they were sharply engaged at Bull Eun for about an hour and 20 minutes, 
 losing several men. Between four and five o'clock on Sunday evening, September 14, 1862, 
 they went into the fight at South Mountain, Md., to which point they had been moved ma 
 Washington, EockviUe, New Market, and Frederick City. After several times changing posi- 
 tion, and constantly skirmishing, they forded Antietam Creek on the morning of the 16th and 
 moved to the right, abreast of the celebrated cornfield. On the morning of the 17th they 
 became hotly engaged, and lost several men, among them Captain J. D. O'Brien, of Company 
 A, and Ensign John S. McNair. The regiment next participated in General Burnside's unfort- 
 unate Fredericksburg battle, December 13, 1862. In the battle of Chancellorsville they were 
 also engaged, and about the middle of Msy, succeeding that engagement, were ordered home, 
 and mustered out at Oswego at the expiration of their term of service — two years." 
 
 THIRTY- FIFTH INFANTRY. 
 
 "This organization, known as the ' Jefferson County Regiment,' was organized at Elmira, 
 June 3, 1861. The following companies were raised in Jefferson County: — 
 
 " Company A, recruited at Watertown; Capt. Stephen L. Potter; accepted May 9; mustered 
 into service at Elmira, July 9, 1861.

 " Compa»!J/ /vT, Brownville ; Capt. Newton B. Lord ; acceptedMay 9; mustered in at Elmira, 
 July 10. 
 
 " At a meeting of the State Military Board, held May 24, it was, on motion of Lieut, -Gov. 
 Campbell, 
 
 " 'Resolved, Thattbecompaniescommandedby the following named captains, viz. : Capts. 
 Lacy, Lord, Potter, Mendell, Angle, Flower, Spalsbury, Todd, Nutting (Co. D), and Elwell, be 
 organized into a regiment, to be numbered No. 35, and an election for field officers ordered to 
 be held therein.' 
 
 " June 11 the election of William C. Brown as colonel, Stephen L. Potter as lieutenant- 
 colonel, and Newton B. Lord as major, was confirmed, and on the 10th of July the field and 
 staff were mustered into the service of the United States for the term of two years from June 
 11, 1861. Flags were presented to the companies as follows: Co. A, by citizens of Watertowu; 
 Co. E, ditto; Co. K, by citizens of Brownville; and Co. C, by citizens of Theresa. The first 
 regimental flag was obtained by subscription among the officers. Subsequently the regiment 
 was presented with colors by Hon. A. W. Clark. 
 
 " July 11, 1861. the 35th left Elmira for the seat of war, arriving at Washington on the 
 13th, and encamping on Meridian Hill. It was finally brigaded with the 21st, 23d, and 80th 
 (20th militia) N. Y. Vols., the brigade being known as the First Brigade, First Division, First 
 Army Corps. 
 
 " The regiment was commanded from June 3 until August 2, 1861, by Col. William C. 
 Brown; from August, 1861, to February 10, 1863, by Col. Newton B. Lord; and from February 
 10 to June 5, 1863, by Col. John G. Todd. 
 
 "Soon after the arrival of the regiment in Virginia it furnished details to work under 
 Lieut. -Col. Alexander, U. S. engineers, in forming abattis. Col. Alexander placed the work in 
 charge of Col. Lord, and the regiment felled timber from the forests surrounding the camp, 
 and formed abattis several miles in length and 400 feet in width. After this it worked on the 
 lunette forts near the Arlington House, and built one seven-gun lunette fort. The forts upon 
 which the regiment performed most of its labors were afterwards named Forts Tillinghast and 
 Craig. For five and a half months after this the regiment was kept on picket duty, losing in 
 the entire time but one man wounded and none killed. It captured two lieutenants and 23 
 men, and killed three men. 
 
 "In January, 1862, the muskets supplied the regiment by the state were exchanged for 
 Austrian rifles, calibre 54. From March until August the 35th participated in a series of weary 
 marches and occasional skirmishes, and became greatly depleted by disease. At Eappahan- 
 nock Station, August 30, it was a support for Battery L, of the First New York Artillery, 
 which was sharply engaged. At the battle of Warrenton Springs it was exposed to a tire of 
 artillery and sharpshooters. At Gainesville but two companies were engaged, and they as 
 skirmishers, and after the battle the regiment was placed on picket duty, losing five men capt- 
 ured by the enemy the next morning. At the memorable second Bull Hun fight, August 29, 
 1862, the 35th lost nine men killed and 13 wounded. It was also fii-ed into through mistake by 
 the 23d, with a loss of five killed and eight wounded. On the second day the 35th lay behind 
 a stone wall, near the turnpike, where it lost 72 men in killed and wounded, although it did 
 not fire a gun during the day, the position being upon the ground in front of the artillery. 
 When the retreat commenced it was withdrawn, and reached Centerville about 7 in the 
 evening. During the battle of Chantilly in lay in the rifie pits on the right of the turnpike, 
 and was not under fire. After this battle it marched via Fairfax to Falls Church, arriving on 
 the 3d of September, and camping near its camp of the previous winter. On its aiTival at 
 Falls Church it had for its music two drums and one bugle, the regimental band of 24 pieces, 
 having been discharged, and the drum corps having lost its drums while attending the 
 
144 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 "wounded at Bull Eun. It was also without Imapsacks, coats, or blankets, these having been 
 left at Centerville and destroyed on the retreat. 
 
 "At the battle of South Mountain, September 14, the regiment was deployed as skir- 
 mishers, one company being left at the foot of the hill with the colors, while three,moved on 
 the left and six on the right of the turnpike, under strong support. The three companies on 
 the left lost, during the day, 19 men in killed and wounded. After the enemy was driven from 
 the hill the regiment was relieved, and reached its colors at the foot about 3 a. m. of the 15th. 
 On the 15th the regiment passed through Txirner's Gap, and on the morning of the Ifith 
 reached the bank of the Antietam, where it was exposed for an hour to artillery flre, and lost 
 tihree or four in wounded. During the forenoon it changed position, and in the evening, w.hile 
 moving across an open field to take up its position in a belt of woods, received a fire from a 
 ■battery of the enemy, losing three men killed and five wounded. On the 17th it was marched, 
 with the 1st Brigade, to the right, across the turnpike and into the woods in the rear of Bun- 
 ker's Church, where it remained about one hour. It was then formed parallel to the turn- 
 pike, in the rear of a cliflf, for the purpose of attacking the flank of a line of the enemy, which 
 had advanced against the 2d and 3d Brigades. Here it lay down behind the fence and ditch 
 of the turnpike, and opened fire on the enemy's line, which had been reformed and reenforced, 
 and kept it up until the line gave way, after which it moved forward its left wing and capt- 
 ured the battle-flag of the 7th Alabama. Just at this time the enemy formed a line on the 
 right and rear, and opened a galling flre, forcing our Une to fall back to the cliff, where it re- 
 turned flre. Ammunition was soon exhausted, and the 35th and 23d were marched by the left 
 flank towards the rear of the army. On reaching the hill where the batteries were posted the 
 two regiments were halted and faced about in the edge of the woods to give General French 
 an opportunity to form" his division. The flre from the euemy became intensely severe, and 
 French's division was again thrown into confusion. The two regiments then moved back for 
 cartridges, and on being suppUed were placed in support of two batteries, where they remained 
 until the morning of the 18th. In this action the 35th lost 32 killed and 43 wounded. 
 
 '• On the 19th the regiment went into camp a mile and a half from Sharpsburg, near the 
 bend in the Potomac, where it remained a month, during which time it 8ufi"ered much for 
 want of clothing and shoes, and from disease occasioned by its occupation of a battle-ground 
 and the vicinity of the mounds of the dead. Half its officers and men were unfit for duty. 
 
 "At the battle of Fredericksburg, December 12 and 13, the regiment lost heavily, being 
 exposed for six hours on the 13th to a flre from the enemy's artillery without an opportunity 
 to retaUate. Not a shot was flred by it until subsequent to this on the 13th and during the 
 14th, when it was placed on picket, losing, on the night of the 15th, six men prisoners. The 
 duty of the 35th after this was comparatively hght. The total immber of men on the rolls of 
 the regiment was 1,250, of which number 593 were mustered out on the 5th of June,*1863, at 
 Elmira, N. Y. For the flrst time in four months the regiment assembled on dress parade on 
 the 19th of May previous, and General Patrick shook hands with each man as an earnest of 
 the feeling with which he bade them good-by. The next day they took the cars for Aquia 
 Creek, proceeded thence by transport to Washington, where they were received by Capt. Camp, 
 of Co. K (then on detatched duty as aide-de-camp to General Martindale), with a full baud. 
 The regiment reached Elmira May 22, and, as mentioned, was mustered out June 5. It had 
 lost 130 men killed in battle, 70 by deaths from disease, 90 discharged for wounds, and 140 for 
 disability." 
 
 NINETY-FOURTH INFANTRY. 
 
 " This regiment was organized at Sackets Harbor to serve three years. The companies 
 composing it were raised in the county of Jefferson . It was mustered into the United States 
 service on the 10th of March, 1862, and in March, 1863, was consolidated with the 105th In- 
 fantry. On the expiration of its term of service the original members (except veterans) were 
 mustered out, and the regiment, composed of veterans and recruits, retained in service until 
 July 18, 1865, when it was mustered out in accordance with the orders from the War Depart- 
 ment. The 94th was actively engaged while in the service, and but little time elapsed between 
 the date of its organization audits flrst engagement. The regiment participated in the battles 
 of Cedar Mountain, second Bull Eun, Chantilly, Chanoellorsville, South Mountain, Antietam, 
 Gainesville, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Mine Eun, Tolopotomy, Bethesda Church, Peters-

 burg, and Weldon Railroad, besides many sliirmishes of more or less importance, and suffered 
 to a considerable extent. The record of this regiment is one of valiant deeds, and its scarred 
 battle-ilags and maimed and dead soldiers are covered with the praises awarded by a grateful 
 people to those who have made themselves famous,"

 Through the commendable generosity of Mr. and Mrs. George Cook, of 
 Watertown, a beautiful memorial is being erected on Public Square, in that 
 city, in honor of the soldiers and sailors who fought and the martyrs who fell 
 during the late war in the struggle for the freedom of a race and the preser- 
 vation of the Union. The corner-stone of this monument was laid on Me- 
 morial Day, 1890, with appropriate and impressive ceremonies, participated 
 in by veterans of the late war and other citizens. 
 
 The publisher considers himself fortunate in securing the following inter- 
 esting paper anent the exciting events connected with the provost-marshal's 
 office, from the pen of one of Jefferson County's ablest and most patriotic 
 citizens: — 
 
 A BRIEF HLSTORY OF THE PROVOST-MARSHAL's OFFICE OF THE 20TH CON- 
 GRESSIONAL DISTRICT, COMPOSED OF THE COUNTIES OF JEFFERSON, 
 HERKIMER, AND LEWIS, FROM 1 863 TO 1 865.? 
 
 It is a matter of regret that no careful diary of events centering in the 
 provost-marshal's office in Watertown was kept. The stirring and important 
 duties that pressed upon the staff of the office were so engrossing, and the 
 work so overwhelming, that little heed was paid to the claims of history. Few 
 appreciated how great the responsibilities of the position were, or how much 
 of care and toil came to those entrusted with the delicate and trying semi- 
 military service. That it was highly important is now generally conceded ; 
 and it is fitting that an outUne of the details of the office should be given in the 
 Gazetteer of the county now about to issue. It has been difficult to collect 
 data such as one would like to present in this connection, owing to the fact 
 that the records were all sent to Washington at the close of the office, and 
 these the writer has not been able to consult. In the main, however, it is 
 believed that the facts herein stated, and the descriptions of the various 
 phases of the v/ork done, cover the most important details, and will, it is 
 hoped, convey a fair picture of an unique chapter in the history of Jefferson 
 County. 
 
 At the outbreak of the great Rebellion patriotic sentiment ran high, and 
 the flower of our youth flocked to enlist in defence of our Union. The grim 
 and terrible sacrifices of war were little known to the masses of our people. 
 Wise Statesmen predicted that the mad folly of secession would soon give 
 way before the uprising of a loyal North, and a short war was anticipated. 
 For many months volunteers met every demand for fresh troops, but as the 
 conflict widened, and the sad realities of brutal war came to be fully realized 
 
 * By Colonel Albert D. Shaw. 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 1 49 
 
 through returning wounded and dead heroes, it became apparent that the 
 government could not safely rely for future levies upon volunteers alone. 
 
 To provide recruits for the armies of the Union an enrollment law was 
 passed by Congress, and a provost-marshal in each Congressional district in 
 the loyal states was appointed. What was done had to be done quickly, 
 under the urgent necessity for filling our rapidly organized battalions, and 
 making good the waste and ruin of war. The armies at the front were con- 
 stantly pressing forward over fields of carnage, and enormous losses through 
 wounds, death, and disease resulted. It became vitally necessary to pro.mptly 
 fill tl\e vacant places in our ranks, and to this great duty the provost-marshal's 
 office in Watertown brought the unselfish and devoted services of competent 
 and patriotic citizens. 
 
 The selection of the provost-marshal for the 20th Congressional district, 
 composed of the counties of Jefferson, Herkimer, and Lewis, was made by 
 the Hon. Ambrose W. Clark, then ably representing the district in Congress^ 
 His choice of Frederick Emerson, Esq., of Watertown, was specially fort- 
 unate. At the time he was appointed few appreciated what a part the 
 office would play fn the attending incidents of the great war, or how serious 
 the service was destined to become. It is only the truth of history to affirm 
 that for nearly three years the provost marshal's office was a household word 
 in every family in the district. Next to the news from the seat of war the 
 provost-marshal's office was a center of deep and solicitous interest. With 
 the wild havoc of battlefields spread before the people through the daily 
 press the people felt the growing need for fresh troops, and the enrollment 
 tnade record of those who were liable to military duty. At the time the office 
 was fully organized in Watertown the stupendous strife had grown to such 
 dimensions that it was clear to all how serious the struggle must be before an 
 honorable peace could be won. Political excitement naturally ran high, and 
 the position of provost-marshal at once became prominent and extremely 
 important. 
 
 The appointment of Captain Emerson was most satisfactory from the first. 
 He was in the prime of life, of well known ability and integrity, and specially 
 fitted by legal and mental attainments for the position. He brought a well 
 trained mind and perfect poise of temperament to the discharge of his very 
 difficult duties. Few can appreciate how harrassing and wearying and diver- 
 sified his responsibilties were. It was one long strain by day and by night, 
 in a service where great latitude necessarily had to be exercised, in a round 
 of perplexing questions new to all concerned. Few officers at the front had 
 greater anxieties, or more delicate duties to perform. In all the wide circle 
 of his devoted work as provost-marshal he was a model officer and an honest 
 man. In purity of life, in zeal for the efficiency of his official staff, and in 
 never failing sweetness of personal intercourse. Captain Emersion was a 
 model chief. It was the writer's good fortune to be associated with him for 
 over two years, and he owes much to the manly inspirations of these event- 
 
 10* 
 
15° JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 ful times. Nothing appeared to worry him, and his self-command was ad- 
 mirable. Courteous, dignified, and firm, every subordinate felt his inspiring 
 and commanding presence as specially helpful in every personal and official 
 relation. 
 
 Captain Emerson was averse to all ornamental flourishes in penmanship, 
 ■and nothing stirred up his ire sooner than showy and useless ornamentation. 
 A young man from Adams — since a judge in our county — called one day 
 and made application for a clerkship. The Captain handed him a sheet of 
 paper, and pointing to a desk requested him to write a letter to show his 
 style. This was done. After some httle time the production was handed 
 in. It was profusely ornamented with flowing flourishes, showing the worst 
 sort of folly in the useless waste of time in needless curves, etc. The Cap- 
 tain gave it one glance and said, " Young man, you had better go back 
 home and learn to write quickly a plain, even hand, and leave off all these 
 worthless flourishes. We have no time here for such nonsense." Years after- 
 wards this applicant called the attention of the ex-provost-marshal to this 
 characteristic incident. It was a good practical lesson, kindly administered. 
 Besides, it was in keeping with the Captain's well known dislike for all pre- 
 tentious display in any direction. 
 
 The provost-marshal met with a serious accident in connection with his 
 duties in Watertown. Complaints had been made to him about the accom- 
 modations at the government quarters for recruits, then situated on the 
 northeast side of the river, at the lower bridge, and while inspecting the 
 house the back veranda gave way, precipitating the inspecting party some 
 feet to the ground below. Captain Emerson was severely injured, his spine 
 receiving a hard blow from the falling ddbris. From the effects of this acci- 
 dent he was confined to his home for sonhe time, suffering greatly from his 
 wounds. He has never recovered from this hurt, and it eventually caused a 
 curvature of the spine, seriously deforming him, and making it necessary for 
 him to walk in a half-stooping condition, with the aid of a cane. While shut 
 up at home by this accident he continued to give attention to the necessary 
 work of the office, and as he was the mustering officer the recruits were 
 marched up to his residence to be sworn in, he sitting in a chair at a 
 window inside, while the volunteers were formed in line outside. In this 
 manner there was no interruption to the regular business of the office, 
 although the suft'erings of the provost-marshal were at times hard to bear. 
 
 A copy of the commission of Captain Emerson is here given as a matter 
 of historic record : — 
 
 " Wab Depaetjment, Washington, April 16, 1863. 
 
 " Sir:— You are hereby informed that the President of the United States has appointed 
 you Provost-Marshal of the 20th Congressional District of the State of New York, with the 
 rank of Captain of Cavalry in the service of the United States, to rank as such from the 15th 
 day of April, 1863. 
 
 ■' Immediately on the receipt hereof please communicate to this Department, through the 
 Provost-Marshal-General of the United States, your acceptance or non-acceptance; and, with 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 151 
 
 your letter of acceptance, return the oath herewith enoloued, properly filled up, subscribed 
 and attested, and report your age, birthplace, and the State of which you are a permanent 
 resident. You will immediately report by letter to the Provoat-Marshal-Geueral, and will 
 proceed to establish your Headquarters at Watertown, N. Y., and enter upon your duties in 
 accordance with such special instructions as you may receive from the Provost-Marshal- 
 General. (Signed) " Edwin M. Stanton, 
 
 " Secretary of War. 
 "To Captain Frederick Emerson, Provost-Marshal, ) 
 20th Dist., Now York." f 
 
 Dr. Edward S. Walker, of Herkimer County, was detailed as examining 
 surgeon. His position was one of the utmost delicacy — requiring a wide 
 range of medical knowledge, as well as great decision of character. Upon 
 his examinations largely depended the decision as to who should be ac- 
 cepted as recruits, and who were legally entitled to exemption on account of 
 physical disabiHties. His position was a laborious and irksome one, for the 
 reason that the ills of drafted men, and men seeking exemption, were being 
 constantly poured into his ears. Through all his valuable service to the close 
 of the office Dr. Walker acquitted himself with conspicuous ability, and won 
 the well deserved reputation of being one of the best examining surgeons in 
 the service. 
 
 Dr. Charles Goodale was appointed assistant surgeon, and was in every 
 way equal to the duties that fell to his share of the trying work. 
 
 Arthur W. Pond, of Lewis County, was appointed commissioner — the three 
 above named constituting the "examining board." Pond was a capable 
 man, and understood perfectly the details of the office. 
 
 James J. Cook, of Herkimer County, and James B. Phillips, of Lewis 
 County, were appointed deputy provost-marshals, and both performed their 
 duties with marked ability and integrity. They gave their best services in a 
 trying round of responsibilities, being faithful in all things. 
 
 Charles H. Van Brakle was appointed chief clerk by Captain Emerson in 
 April, 1863, and very efficiently filled the position until September of the same 
 year, when he resigned his clerkship to accept the adjutancy of the 14th 
 Heavy Artillery N. Y. Vols. John J. Safford became Van Brakle's suc- 
 cessor, and proved himself a capital official. 
 
 Brayton C. Bailey was made enrollment clerk, and he was a model guard- 
 ian of the responsible position in which Captain Emerson's partiality placed 
 him. He served with great credit until the office was abolished at the close 
 of the war. 
 
 J. Harvey Simmons was appointed quartermaster, and occupied a store on 
 Court street. Here all the recruits, substitutes, and drafted men were clothed 
 after being mustered into the service. He was a man well qualified for the 
 position, and no truer patriot ever served his country in any age. 
 
 David D. Gates was early appointed assistant enrollment clerk, and re- 
 mained in the office until failing health forced him to give up work ; but the 
 rest did not bring relief, and he died late in 1863, the only one connected 
 
152 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 with the office who died during its existence. He was a young man of gentle 
 life, and beloved by all who knew him well. ' 
 
 Edward M. Gates was a clerk in the ofifice for some months, and a most 
 competent one. He had the honor of turning the wheel for the last draft,, 
 and as his own name was among the number it is but fair to beheve that he 
 was happy when the last man was drawn and he was not chosen. 
 
 Louis C. Greenleaf, on the resignation of Chief Clerk Safford, was ap- 
 pointed to his place in 1864. He had been a sergeant in Co. A, 3Sth N. Y. 
 Vols., serving with distinguished zeal and faithfulness, and he performed his 
 responsible duties as chief clerk with equal credit. He was occupying this 
 position when the office was closed. 
 
 Lieut. L P. Woddell, a veteran and a capital officer, had charge of the 
 Veteran Reserve Corps in Watertown for some months. He was a careful 
 guardian of the rights and needs of the position he so admirably filled, and 
 was an honored and useful aid at the headquarters. He knew his duty and 
 always faithfully performed it. 
 
 First Lieut. George McOmber was appointed special agent upon Captain 
 Emerson's recommendation in May, 1863. He had served in the 94th N. Y. 
 Vols, with distinguished bravery, and was badly wounded at the second bat- 
 tle of Bull Run, on August 30, 1862, from the effects of which he was dis- 
 charged for disability. Returning home, and partially regaining his health, 
 he accepted the position in question, but resigned the following August to 
 accept a first lieutenancy in the Veteran Reserve Corps, and was ordered 
 on duty in Kentucky. His parchment commission was signed by Abraham 
 Lincoln, and will hereafter be regarded with pride by those who bear his- 
 name. Lieut. McOmber was a fine type of the American citizen-soldier,, 
 and did his whole duty during the four years of the Rebellion. 
 
 James P. Kirby, a veteran of the 94th N. Y. Vols., was also appointed, 
 special agent by Captain Emerson. He was wounded in the same battle 
 that Lieut. McOmber was in 1862. Two special agents were provided for 
 at each provost-marshal's headquarters, and their duties were of an exacting 
 character. All deliveries of recruits to the various U. S. rendezvouses at 
 Elmira, Albany, or New York were under the command of special agents. 
 Special investigations, the arrest of deserters, and a general supervision of the 
 outside semi-military duties of the headquarters constituted the wide range 
 of their responsibilities. Special Agent Kirby was a very competent, faithful, 
 and honorable officer, and filled his trying position with great credit and 
 acceptability up to the close of the office. 
 
 Albert D. Shaw was appointed special agent to fill the vacancy occasioned 
 by the resignation of Special Agent McOmber. He had served two years — 
 through his term of enlistment — in Co. A, 35th N. Y. Vols., and was barely 
 of age when he accepted the position. He served in the capacity of special 
 agent until the office was abolished, and received the thanks of Provost-

 The enrolling officers. — The experiences of the enrolling officers were of a 
 varied and interesting character. Often these officials were treated with 
 scant courtesy on their rounds, and sometimes they were regarded in the 
 light of would-be destroyers of the harmony of households. The visit of an 
 enrolling officer was a serious event in many homes. In all it was a severe 
 lesson in the line of duty, and taught how powerful a people's government 
 really was. The memories of mothers — and fathers as well — were frequently 
 at fault as to the date of birth of sons, the tendency sometimes being to rep- 
 resent the boys as less than i8 years of age. And there were instances where 
 the 45th birthday came swiftly! These two extremes- — 18 and 45 years — 
 were troublesome to enrolling officers. In these days cosmetics were not used 
 to make beards grow on young faces, and hair dyes found few purchasers to 
 make people along the 45-year line look younger. It was a happy era when 
 slow beards and gray hairs found no tricks played upon them, but were allowed 
 to take their growth unvexed with the barbers' art ! 
 
 The enrollment was no joke in any aspect in which the official's visit might 
 be regarded. Every name placed upon the rolls was to take its chance in the 
 revolving wheel. This fact made the enrollment a serious subject of family 
 contemplation. With the terrible havoc of war daily brought home to the 
 people through reports of great battles and great losses in killed and wounded, 
 in some cases cutting down brave soldiers from localities where the enroll- 
 ing officer was going from house to house, it can be realized in part how 
 solemn the questions as to who was liable to the draft really were. To many 
 it seemed like a roll-call of death amid the home circle of peace. There was 
 brought to the citizen a foretaste of how much the government relied upon 
 . the whole people for support in the fiery trial of war. Health and age were 
 prime factors in the problem of saving the Union through crushing out the 
 Rebellion. In this light the enrolling officer was the man who placed on the 
 rolls the men who were liable to obey the demands for more soldiers when 
 the draft came. It is not strange, under such conditions, that occasionally 
 the age of a son was reported less than it really was, or that 46 years were 
 reached by some born the same year as a neighbor whose record of life only 
 measured 44 years. Such lapses of memory and faults of family records — 
 some on the Bible's record — were found, were even not uncommon. The 
 ■enrolling officers were quick at hunting up facts as to the age of citizens 
 where the least question arose about ages, and as the hsts were hung up in 
 €very town few would-be deceivers escaped finally being placed on the rolls. 
 
 The writer had some experience in correcting the enrollment in Water- 
 'town, and in several instances was met with sharp and angry replies. It was 
 quite a common thing to lock the door and pretend that no one was at home 
 when the officer called. Curiously enough the enrolling officer was known 
 the moment he put in an appearance on a street. The news of his coming 
 
154 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 was swiftly circulated. Twice in the writer's experience the wife and children 
 wailed and wept,as though the husband and father had just been killed in battle, 
 when his name was placed on the list as liable to a draft. This period was one 
 that tested the " girth and groin " of the whole people, and, all in all, the world 
 never witnessed a nobler example of national patriotism and individual heroism 
 than was exhibited in this stupendous conflict. It is a matter of sincere re- 
 gret that the list of enrolling officers is not at hand for insertion in this con- 
 nection. A few only are recalled ; one especially, Sidney Cooper, Esq., of 
 Le Ray, was regarded as the model official, as his rolls were so neatly and 
 accurately prepared. L. D. Morgan was enrolling officer for Watertown. In 
 Le Ray a German pleaded with Enrolling Officer Cooper to be left off, for, 
 he said, " Some rats dig into my cistern and die in dare, and I drinks the 
 water and got some poisoned." He was sure he should not be enrolled. 
 Mr. Cooper suggested that a change of air and scenery, in a trip South, 
 would do him good. This idea gave no hope to the alarmed neighbor, for 
 he thought the remedy very unlikely to do him any good. However he stood 
 his draft and got free. 
 
 Special Agent Kirby, in correcting the enrollment for that then portion of 
 Watertown called " The Swamp," made his task efifective and easy by pre- 
 tending to be engaged in making a new directory of Watertown; but after he 
 had finished his work, and the truth leaked out, it was not a healthy section 
 of the town for this officer to visit. The consternation of the excitable resi- 
 dents was indeed great over the situation. There was a lack of words to 
 describe their indignant feelings. 
 
 The enrollment. — The enrollment of each town" in the district' called for 
 the name of every male citizen, at the first, between the ages of 2r and 45 
 years. This was taken by enrolling officers appointed by Captain Emerson 
 in every town, and involved a great deal of labor. Three copies of each en- 
 rollment had to be made — one for use at Albany, another at Washington, 
 and one for the files of the Watertown office. After this was completed these 
 enrollments were carefully revised, and every man. with a plam disabilit)', 
 such as the loss of an eye, an arm, or a leg, or teeth, or with any serious 
 chronic complaint, was, upon medical examination in Watertown in person, 
 stricken from the rolls. In this way the lists were cleared of men who were 
 unfit for mihtary duty. Some of the incidents attending these examinations 
 were both amusing and ludicrous. Wide notice was given of the nature of 
 the examinations preparatory to striking off the clearly exempt citizens, but 
 great crowds presented themselves before the board, a large majority of whom 
 did not come under the operation of the regulations in question. The exam- 
 ining board met for convenience in the supervisors' room at the court-house, 
 on Arsenal street, and here for many days was witnessed one of the most 
 eager and anxious gathering of the " lame, halt, and blind," as well as a very 
 large number who felt sick, or imagined they did, that ever visited Water- 
 town. The crowd was a motley one. Rich and poor met on the same seri-

 ous level. The rigorous law knew no favorites. Each pressed to the front 
 prepared to prove that he was not burning or able to go to the war to share 
 in the hardships of the camp and the battlefield. The disappointment of 
 such as were firmly turned away, for the good reason that their cases did not 
 come within the scope of the order, was often painful to witness, for some- 
 how a sort of panic fell upon many to have their names stricken from the 
 rolls. It was customary for applicants for exemption to bring with them affi- 
 davits of family physicians to prove their ills, and if the history of some of 
 the prominent practitioners in the district could only be faithfully given, bear- 
 ing upon this branch of their then extremely perplexing business, it would be 
 rich reading for the student of character. The family physician was over- 
 whelmed with sick friends during this trying period. He was called upon to 
 remember ills long past, and to make clear weaknesses of uncertain serious- 
 ness, in many anxious cases. To the flexible and accommodating trickster, 
 who could see weaknesses for a consideration, — and there were a few such in 
 our district truth compels me to admit, — the opportunity was a — greenback 
 one ! Such affidavits, as a rule, did more harm than good, for Dr. Walker 
 had a keen eye for shams. The delight shown in some instances by persons 
 who were .exempted upon medical examination was strikingly strange. One 
 nervous applicant, far gone with lung disease, came out of the examining 
 room and excitedly exclaimed to a friend, " Thank the Lord, the Doctor says 
 I won't live six months, and so I 'm exempt." Another came for examina- 
 tion, whose case was doubtful, owing to his evident efforts to appear nearly 
 helpless from " weak and crooked legs,'' as he termed his trouble. His anxi- 
 ety to create an impression of his great physical infirmity was clear. In a 
 mirthful moment the board allowed him to appear before the examining 
 surgeon. Waddling about the room, with ill-concealed attempts to show how 
 weak his legs were, the picture he presented, as he hobbled along with panta- 
 loons rolled up above his knees, was ludicrous in the extreme. The Doctor 
 took in the situation at a glance, and, looking serious, he sympathetically 
 asked, "Where is the greatest pain when you walk? " "All over, if you 
 plase, sir; sore as a bile, all along from me feet to me body, sure." "Try 
 and walk quickly across the room," said the Doctor, and Patrick began as 
 laughable a march as was ever witnessed. At every step his facial expres- 
 sions were so comical, and his bow-legged walk was so clearly a make-up, 
 that roars of laughter followed his funny performance. The door being 
 reached Patrick was ordered out past the guard, and so into the yard, by the 
 " left flank." Turning to the guard he asked, " Am I eximgt ? " " No," was 
 the reply, " you will make a good soldier." The vigorous and bad language 
 used by the disgusted man proved his ability to roundly abuse every one con- 
 nected with the office, and, without turning down his pantaloons, he walked 
 away as nimbly as possible. His trick had resulted in an absurd failure, and 
 no one knew this better than himself. 
 
156 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 One pathetic incident in the examination of Rev. E. W. Reynolds, the 
 eloquent and patriotic Universalist clergyman in Watertown at the time, is 
 worthy of record. He attended the examination, and when Dr. Walker 
 sounded his lungs he quickly said, " Mr. Reynolds, you are clearly unfit for 
 the duties of a soldier." " I know it only too well," replied the clergyman, 
 " for I should have been at the front had I been strong enough. My heart 
 is with the army, and how I wish I could be at the seat of war in this trying 
 hour." The pathos of his touching words drew tears from those present, as 
 he passed out, to die not very long afterwards. These examinations " cleared 
 the rolls " of those who could not render military service on account of plain 
 and permanent physical disabilities, and thus a sound basis for computing the 
 quota of each town was provided. 
 
 Substitutes and recruits. — After it became clear to all that extra induce- 
 ments and efforts would be necessary to fill the depleted armies of the Union 
 a system of bounties was hit upon in the towns, whereby a sum of money 
 was raised to pay for volunteers, as an inducement to enlist. Those who 
 were fit for military service were liable to the draft, and many enlisted and 
 took the local bounties, and a bounty the general government ofifered in 
 addition. 
 
 Many also, being of sound body, patriotically furnished a substitute so as 
 to be free from annoyance from the draft, and to be represented at the front 
 by a good soldier, in lieu of personal service. The first bounty generally paid 
 by towns was $300 for three years' men. The supervisors of the towns were 
 active in securing substitutes, and tried hard to fill their quotas without a 
 draft. Canadians came over quite freely, and men were ready to get them a 
 chance to go as a substitute. Some amusing cases of disappointments took 
 place among those seeking a substitute. One instance was well known — that 
 of Elmer Everett, a prominent citizen of Watertown, who, though a staunch 
 Democrat, was not averse to having a colored man fill his place in the array. 
 Through a broker — one who made it a business to bring principal and sub- 
 stitute together — Mr. Everett sent to Montreal and had a colored appli- 
 cant come to Watertown to go in as his substitute. The man reached the 
 city on a Saturday after the office had closed, and Everett secured an order 
 from the provost-marshal to have his man kept in the guard-house until Mon- 
 day morning, at his own expense. Bright and early on Monday Everett 
 brought his man up for medical examination, when, lo, and behold ! it was 
 found that he was suffermg from compound hernia. The surprise and dis- 
 gust of Everett can well be imagined in view of the expenses he had already 
 borne in getting the man to Watertown. The colored brother seemed to enjoy 
 the situation immensely, " for,'' said he, "you knows T 's ready to go, boss." 
 It was not pleasant afterwards for any one to inquire of Everett how his 
 colored substitute was getting along. Among the volunteers from Canada 
 were quite a number of deserters from the British force stationed at Kings- 
 ton. A well-known Canadian became somewhat famous for his prophetic 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 157 
 
 forecast of coming visitors to the provost-marshal's office, who wore the 
 scarlet uniform of British soldiers. His horoscope of the stars was so fault- 
 less that he frequently foretold to an hour when a squad of deserters would 
 make their appearance. There was one thing, at least, to be said in favor of 
 this man, and that was his perfect fairness in dealing with the Canadian de- 
 ■serters, who relied upon him for advice. Captain Emerson always made it a 
 rule before enlisting a man to explain to him the amount of bounty he was 
 entitled to receive, and insisted that the money due him should be paid to the 
 recruit in his presence. These deserters made fine soldiers, and as they had 
 no sentiment behind their first enlistment in the British army they gladly 
 -availed themselves of a chance to enlist in our army for better piy. Few or 
 none of this class ever deserted from our army and went back to Canada. 
 The writer knew one of these men well. His name was Charles Flemming, 
 and he was a member of Co. A, jsth N. Y. Vols. At the battle of Fred- 
 ericksburg he lost both legs by a cannon shot, and died the next day in hos- 
 pital. He had served in India and in the Crimea, and often declared that 
 he never had seen hotter fighting than he experienced in our regiment. He 
 lies in an unmarked grave within sight of the bloody field on which he re- 
 ceived his death wound. How many thousands — foreigners to our soil — died 
 like Flemming, on the battlefields of our struggle, in helping tread out the 
 heresy of secession amid the horrid havoc of contending armies ! 
 
 Some of the incidents attending the escape of British deserters from the 
 47th Regiment of the line at Kingston are worthy of record. The distance 
 between the American shore and Kingston is only some 12 miles, but to 
 most of the soldiers it was an unknown route. Long Island intervened, and 
 guards were thickly stationed on its southern shore to intercept any deserters 
 who might be caught making their way to the American side. For many 
 months during 1863-64 the 9 o'clock evening gun at Kingston was eagerly 
 listened for, as one gun each was fired at that hour for all deserters, in order 
 that the guards might keep a keen watch for them. A party of six deserters 
 from this regiment seized a boat at Kingston late one evening and rowed 
 away around the head of Long Island, intending to land at the light-house 
 on Tibbitt's Point, in Cape Vincent. By some mistake, being strangers to 
 the route, they kept too far to the westward, and after an exhausting tug at 
 the oars, an exercise few of the soldiers were used to, they made land on 
 Grenadier Island, near its eastern point. Seeing a light in the early morning 
 ■one of their number cautiously approached it, and this proved to be in the 
 house of Abram Cooper, a wealthy farmer, and owner of most of the island. 
 The deserter nervously inquired, " What place is this ; is it in Canada or 
 the United States?" "The United States, and you are all right," was 
 Cooper's cordial greeting, as he took in the situation at a glance. Turning to 
 his comrades, who were anxiously awaiting his report, he Shouted, " Come 
 on, boys, we are all safe !" Their delight was unbounded, and happier men 
 never sat down to an ample breakfast than were these weary and hand-blis-

 tered deserters. The next day Mr. Cooper accompanied them to Cape Vin- 
 cent, where quite an excitement was created by their appearance in bright 
 scarlet uniforms. They were splendid fellows, and several officers of their 
 regiment came over in the afternoon to try and induce them to return to 
 their regiment. The citizens made it somewhat uncomfortable for these 
 officers, and the soldiers would not go into any private room for consultation, 
 making the interview very public, with any amount of advice freely inter- 
 spersed by the excited by-standers. The change in the relations between 
 these soldiers and the young martinets, who a few hours before were formal 
 and indifferent to them, was striking, The deserters appreciated it keenly, 
 and curtly refused all the persuasive appeals made to them on the part of the 
 officers. They all at once enlisted in our army. Another party of 10 de- 
 serters crossed over on the ice, following the line of the Long Island Canal. 
 Big Bay somehow bewildered them, and two of the party became exhausted 
 through the heavy walking in the deep snow, and had to be left behind. The 
 others pressed forward, and seeing a light on Carleton Island made for this 
 point. The walk was a long and tiresome one, and they soon found that 
 they had several miles to tramp before they would reach Cape Vmcent. Few 
 can realize how bitter cold a walk in the night on the ice in the River St. 
 Lawrence really is, who have had no experience, and when the night is cold, 
 and the distance long, the situation is far from being an agreeable one- 
 On finally reaching the Cape they struck the shore near the engine house, at 
 the railway, and seeing a light, just at the dawn of day, one of them peeped 
 in, much to the surprise of the night watchman. " Is this in the United 
 States ?" was his pathetic query. On being assured that he was on Uncle 
 Sam's free soil he called to his half-frozen companions to " Come on," and 
 a grateful coal fire never seemed friendlier to these deserters than on this 
 occasion. The following day they enlisted at Watertown. 
 
 The case of a LowviUe applicant to have his name struck off the enroll- 
 ment on account of short sightedness was most amusing. He protested 
 stoutly that he could not see 50 yards to distinguish a man from a cow. 
 After a severe examination Dr. Walker became satisfied that his eyes were 
 good, and that the man was shamming. When told that he must stand his 
 chance in the draft he said, " I can't see to fight." " Oh," said the Doctor, 
 " we have had so much running lately in our army that it will be a good 
 thing for one like you to be there so as not to see the enemy and hold your 
 ground." 
 
 The tricks tried upon the officers to enable men to get " exempt," or to 
 secure bounties as substitutes when unfit for mihtary duty, covered a wide 
 range of cunning, and it often required the utmost vigilance to detect these 
 brazen-faced frauds. A drafted man in our district was exempt on account 
 of the total loss of his upper teeth. Months afterwards he presented himself 
 as a substitute when the bounties were largest, and, not being recognized in 
 the rush of recruits, he was accepted and sent down to Quartermaster Sim- 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 159 
 
 mens, on Court street, to be furnished with a suit of Uncle Sam's clothing. 
 By some mischance he took out his new set of teeth while being clothed, and 
 the quick eye of Special Agent Kirby detected him in the act. After he had 
 put on his uniform he was taken before Captain Emerson — who had been 
 made aware of the facts — for a sljort drill. " Take oflf your cap,'' ordered 
 the captain in a quick, sharp voice. It was promptly done. " Front face !'' 
 and he faced to the front looking every inch a soldier. " Take out your 
 teeth,'' came next, and so unexpectedly that, amid a shout of laughter from 
 those present, he instantly took them out. » The Captain sent him before 
 Dr. Walker, with his teeth in his hand, with the request that he be informed 
 how a soldier was to eat hard-tack without his upper teeth ! The Doctor, 
 who had been shrewdly deceived by the man, was in a furious rage, and made 
 it lively for the would-be deceiver. Dr. Walker did not hear the last of this 
 ludicrous incident during his service in Watertown. 
 
 Deserters and " bounty Jumpers." — There were two classes of deserters 
 who became well known along the northern frontier, bordering on Canada, 
 during the war days of 1862-65. First, there was the "bounty jumper,' 
 who enlisted with the sole intention of securing a large bounty and then 
 making his escape to Canada, only to reappear at some distint point in the 
 states to repeat the operation. "Jumping the bounty'' and "bounty 
 jumpers " described this precious class of rascals in the popular speech of the 
 time. Second, there came the much smaller class who deserted from the 
 front, or while home on furlough, and made their way to Canada, or, as was 
 frequently the case, hired out to farmers on the American side near the bor- 
 der, so as to easily cross into the Dominion in case of danger. The first 
 class named were, as a rule, a bad lot, without patriotism or character, and 
 mere robbers of the bounty paid for the purpose of securing recruits for our 
 army, while many of the second class, returning to their homes along the 
 northern border on furlough, in a moment of weakness, and weary of the 
 dangers and hardships of active service, and not unfrequently suffering from 
 wounds and ill-health, were tempted to make their way across the St. Law- 
 rence into the Queen's dominions. The records of deserters from various 
 New York regiments were sent to the provost-marshal-general at Washington, 
 and through his office transmitted to the provost-marshal of the section in 
 which the original enlistments were made out. It was found that the usual 
 course of a deserter finally led him back to his old home haunts, and there 
 traces of him were most likely to be found. 
 
 The record of some of the arrests made in this county will be of interest, 
 as a part of the stirring events of this exciting period, and a few will be given. 
 It may be said in this connection that Jefferson County and the provost- 
 marshal's office in Watertown were regarded as poor places for bounty jump- 
 ers and deserters to conceal themselves or ply their game of fraud, owing to 
 the excellent organization of Captain Emerson's office, and the zeal displayed 
 in bringing all delinquents to justice. 
 
l6o JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Information having reached the provost-marshal that several deserters were 
 lurking about in a not distant town. Special Agent Shaw was ordered to 
 take a couple of guards and carriages and seek their arrest. It was a beauti- 
 ful October morning in 1864, and the drive was delightful. By i o'clock 
 p. M. two deserters had been arrested, and a third was known to be in the 
 vicinity. The utmost secrecy was necessary, for these men were always on 
 the alert, and took to their heels at the first suspicion of any danger. Most 
 deserters changed their names, and this deepened the difficulties of finding 
 out through inquiries where they were located. In this instance, while a full 
 description of a deserter known to be in the immediate vicinity was in the 
 officer's possession, no trace of him could be found. At last, well along in 
 the afternoon, Officer Shaw sent the guards on to Watertown with the two 
 deserters already secured, and set out in a single carriage to make still further 
 efforts to find the person wanted. By diligent inquiries he got trace of his 
 man, but failed for some time to find out where he was working. While 
 passing a school-house, just as the scholars had been dismissed for the day, 
 a bright lad of seven or eight years of age, with ruddy cheeks and neatly 
 dressed, was asked by the officer if he would not like to ride. He nimbly 
 cUmbed into the carriage, and was soon on terms of intimacy with the driver. 
 The small boy is always one of the detective's best friends, for what he does 
 not know about a neighborhood and its current gossip is not worth knowing, 
 as a general rule. Under careful questioning the boy was asked if he knew 
 
 a man by the name of , the assumed name of the deserter. " Oh, 
 
 yes/' was the prompt reply, " he works for my pa." The officer's horse was 
 given a free rein, and the boy was told that he would be driven home. The 
 house where he lived was situated off the main road on which he was driving 
 about half a mile, and they were soon at the place. Hitching the horse 
 the boy led the way, and luckily the farmer was at home. The officer took 
 the farmer one side and told him the facts. He knew Captain Emerson 
 well, and when assured that his favorite hired man was a deserter his aston- 
 ishment was great. "A deserter ! " he repeated, " it cannot be, for he is one 
 of the best men I ever have had on ray farm. His young wife works for us 
 also, and they have been here for some weeks. They are very loving and 
 religious people, and there must surely be some mistake about this." He 
 was given to understand that there was no doubt about his identity. " Well," 
 
 said he, " is just putting the horses into the stable down under the 
 
 barn there, and you can soon see whether you are right or not." Walking 
 quietly down to the stable, under the guidance of the alert small boy, the 
 
 officer had just reached the stable door when stepped out. " How 
 
 are you ? " said the official. The deserter stood bewildered for a moment on 
 being called by his real name, but quickly shaking off his embarrassment re- 
 plied, "That's not my name." He was told it was one of his names, as he 
 edged away in the direction of some straw stacks near at hand. The care- 
 less display of a large Colt's revolver by the officer had a magical effect upon 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. l6l 
 
 him, and he retraced his steps saying, " There is some mistake about all this; 
 but what can be done ? " He was informed that he must accompany the 
 officer to Watertown, and at this point his face was a picture for an artist. 
 The agony of the situation was really painful ]:o witness. " Great Heavens ! " 
 
 he said, " what a mistake you have made. My name is , and I know 
 
 nothing about the army. My wife and I work here, and we have been here 
 for weeks. What can I do? " It was soon made clear to him that he must 
 get ready to go to Watertown, and at once, and placing him in front he was- 
 marched to the house from the barn. Here a strangely pathetic scene took 
 place. The farmer, his wife, and the small boy, with the deserter and his 
 wife, met in the dining-room. " What does this mean ? " asked the farmer. 
 
 " Mean ! " bravely answered , " I don't know. This man declares I 
 
 am a deserter, and I am now under arrest and must go with him to Water- 
 town. It 's all a big mistake." At this point his really very pretty young wife 
 threw her arms about his neck and sobbed as though her heart would break. 
 The farmer's family were all in tears, and the officer looked on not unmoved 
 by the picture of pain before him. For nearly a minute not a word was 
 spoken, and the almost frantic wife clung to her husband as though it was to 
 be her last interview with him before he was shot. Finally he was ordered 
 to hastily make ready to go to Watertown, when he asked to have an oppor- 
 tunity to change his clothes before going away. This request brought its. 
 embarrassments, for the officer well knew how great the temptation to bolt 
 out of a window would be^ and frankly told him so. It was arranged that the 
 wife should bring his clothing into a closet, with no window, and here, under 
 the range of the officer's revolver, a fitting change in dress was made. This 
 proceeding called forth angry remonstrances from the deserter, who loudly 
 declared that he would " make the officer smart " for such indignities prac-^ 
 ticed upon an innocent man ! 
 
 The farmer and his wife were completely overcome and presented a woe- 
 begone appearance. " Why," said the farmer, " has always joined in 
 
 our family prayers, and so has his wife, and nicer Christian people 1 have 
 never known, to all appearances." He was told that the man was no doubt 
 a deserter, and arrangements were made for the prisoner's wife and their 
 effects to come to Watertown the following day, when " all was to be made 
 clear,'' to use the deserter's words. " Dear me,'' replied the farmer, " how 
 unfortunate I am ! This is the second deserter who has worked for me this- 
 fall." After a leave-taking, mingled with tears and prayers, the officer and 
 the deserter drove off. As soon as the carriage was out of hearing the offi- 
 cer said to the deserter, " What cheek you have got ! You would make a 
 good actor. How could you lie so, looking that good man and his wife 
 square in the face ?" " I 'U tell you," was the quick and frank answer ; " the 
 truth is that I could not do otherwise after making them believe I was a 
 Christian man, and kneeling down every day with them at family prayers. I 
 really had not the courage to tell them the truth when you so suddenly 
 
l62 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 brought me before them face to face. No, sir, I could n't do it. I am the 
 man you want, and I 'm glad you have got me, for I have lived in a hell 
 within myself for months past. Every man I 've seen coming across the lots, 
 or down towards the house, has seemed to me to be an officer coming to ar- 
 rest me. Twice when plowing recently I have dropped the lines, ready to 
 run for the woods, before I found out there was no cause for alarm. I 'm 
 glad it is over, for I 've grown poor under the ever present fear, and now I '11 
 go back to my regiment and manfully serve out my time. I was a great fool to 
 desert ; but I got married when I came home on furlough, and when they re- 
 fused to grant me a longer furlough I very foolishly took one. It was kind 
 of hard to leave her and go back, and so I told her I had been discharged, 
 
 for I had been wounded in battle. I went to 's to work, half resolving 
 
 I would give myself up and go back to my regiment again. I 'm glad I am 
 going back now, and if I don't redeem myself, as, a good soldier, when I 
 take ray old place, then I don't know myself." The next morning the wife 
 and trunk were brought in, and the farmer — a loyal Republican and a good 
 citizen — found out that his " hired man " had a previous engagement to keep 
 
 with Uncle Sam. No amount of persuasion, however, would induce to 
 
 see the farmer. He said he " could not bear to have him see what a sneak he 
 had been." This deserter, who was at heart a really good fellow, was sent 
 back to his regiment along with some new recruits, and proved as good as 
 his word in his soldier record. 
 
 A second adventure of the same officer took place about the same time 
 on the St. Lawrence, a few miles below Millen's Bay, at Grennell's Island. 
 On the Canadian shore opposite this point quite a little colony of deserters 
 had found work at small pay on farms about the sectior, and several were 
 in the habit of crossing over the river to pay visits to relatives and friends 
 who met them at the shore. Word having been sent to the provost marshal 
 Private Payne and Special Agent Shaw were sent to the river to break up 
 the practice, and secure the arrest of some of the deserters if possible. Tak- 
 ing up quarters with a family named Carter, living just across from Gren- 
 nell's Island, the detectives had not long to wait before the wife of a deserter 
 came down and waved a signal to her husband to come across. The detec- 
 tives were concealed in the chamber, and soon saw a small boat put out 
 from the other side. It came over, and just as it struck the beach the offi- 
 cer, pistol in hand, stepped forward and ordered the deserter to surrender. 
 He was sitting in his skiff, talking to his wife, so as to be ready for any sur- 
 prise, as was his custom, and the moment he was confronted by the officer 
 he sprang up, and with an oar quickly pushed his boat out beyond reach. 
 Pointing his pistol at the deserter Shaw commanded him to come ashore or 
 he would iire. His wife jumped up and down and shouted " Don't you do 
 it ; don't you do it ; let him shoot you first." She was no coward, and her 
 ringing words had a strange effect upon the now pale-faced deserter — giving 
 him courage, the blind courage of despair, and his wife's stirring words, 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 163 
 
 shrieked into his ears, spurred him on in his desperate effort for freedom. 
 Shaw shoved off his boat, and, being a good oarsman, soon gained upon the 
 retreating deserter. The wife kept up her encouraging appeals, while the 
 lady residents of the house on the shore were eager spectators of the comical 
 race taking place before them. The deserter had a small sail to his skiff, 
 and this began to aid him as he pulled out from under the shore. Shaw found 
 that the race was an uneven one under the conditions of oars and sail, and 
 in hastily looking over his shoulder to see how the thing was working, an oar 
 sUpped up on the thole-pin, and it bent down, and over went the officer on his 
 back, in the bottom of the boat, with his heels in the air. A shout from the 
 jubilant wife on shore did not add to the officer's feelings, and regaining his feet, 
 in the tottling boat, he shouted that he would shoot if the deserter did not in- 
 stantly surrender. No heed was paid to the summons, and fire was opened upon 
 him in brisk fashion, at less than loo yards distance. Bullet after bullet, from a 
 heavy Colt's revolver, was sent point-blank at the desperate man, who was row- 
 ing for dear life to get across the river. Each shot went close to the mark, as 
 could be seen as they splashed into the river just beyond him. Six shots 
 were fired, when the chase had to be abandoned, and Shaw returned to the 
 shore, a disgusted and beaten man. 
 
 The deserter's wife was on the shore and greeted him with jeers, but a 
 threat that her own arrest might follow silenced her abuse — which was, per- 
 haps, not unnatural under the circumstances. Later in the day a drum and 
 fife was heard across the river, and by the aid of a good glass a gathering of 
 men could be seen there. Early in the evening a neighbor, who had been on 
 the other side, came and told us that an attack was contemplated from the de- 
 serters, who had sworn vengeance on us for our attempt to arrest one of their 
 number. The officer and guard prepared to give them a warm reception in 
 case they should come. • Ballets were cut up into slugs so as to make a scat- 
 tering charge, doors and windows were barricaded, and all was made ready 
 for a stubborn defence. The ladies volunteered to go out on picket, but this 
 was not permitted. The drum and fife could be heard plainly for more than 
 an hour, and when darkness came on a sharp outlook was kept for the threat- 
 ened attack. But none came. The night passed with no alarm, and the next 
 day the forces of the United States withdrew. 
 
 The deserter, after the war, said that one bullet passed through his hair, 
 and several of them whistled so near to him that he feared he had been hit. 
 He declared that he was " too scared to surrender," and that he mechanically 
 took to the oars, rowing away in vigorous fashion, in sheer desperation from 
 the first impulse that came over him. This adventure had a marked effect, 
 however, upon the actions of the deserters living across the river. They 
 made a great deal of noise and threatened great things because of this at- 
 tempt to arrest one of their clan, but they took good care to keep themselves 
 safely on the Canadian side of the river. The officer, on returning to Water- 
 town, was unmercifully hector^ over this failure to arrest the deserter. Even 
 
164 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 the good Captain Emerson laughed until his sides must have ached as he was 
 told the interesting tale of the adventure. This was an instance where the 
 force of the United States was baffled by the escape of the enemy. It was 
 the only instance in the history of the office where a failure was met with in 
 arresting a deserter ; and in this case there was only reason for gratitude on 
 the part of the officer afterwards that some of his shots did not hit the un- 
 fortunate deserter. 
 
 A third instance of the arrest of a deserter made a good deal of excite- 
 ment. A man brought information to the provost-marshal that his youngest 
 brother, who had come home from his regiment on furlough, was intending 
 to desert, and that he was being harbored and encouraged in this intention 
 by a " copperhead " uncle, and he wished him to be arrested before he had 
 time to run away to Canada. A zealous Republican himself, in the days when 
 patriotic excitement ran high, he was deeply pained at the course of his young 
 brother, and so came to have him secured and sent back to duty. Special 
 Agent Shaw was ordered to take the case in hand, and went to the elder 
 brother's house early the next morning. Together they drove to the uncle's 
 place, and the latter's rage on being charged with concealing the deserter 
 knew no bounds. Finally the volley of abuse was cut short by the action of 
 the officer in pulling out a pair of " handcuffs," and declaring that he would 
 clap them on him unless he instantly ceased his tirade and point out where 
 the deserter was in hiding. This had the desired effect, and with a crest- 
 fallen look he led the way to the horse barn, in the loft of which young 
 
 had a hiding-place. A more woe-begone young man was never seen than 
 this one, with his hair and clothes covered with literal " hay seed," and half 
 scared out of his wits. He was really a pitiable sight, and cried like a child. 
 Taking him into the two-seated carriage he was driven to the elder brother's 
 house, so that the prisoner might see his old mother, who lived with him, a 
 sweet woman with white hair, and in feeble health. Arriving there the officer 
 went in first to comfort the old mother by explaining that the erring son stood 
 in no danger from being shot, but that on being returned to his regiment only 
 a nominal punishment, such as loss of pay, ^?as likely to be inflicted upon 
 him. The prisoner had been left in the kitchen in charge of two of his 
 brothers, and presently a great shout was heard there. Shaw rushed out to 
 see the three brothers running for dear life across a field at the rear of the 
 house. Taking in the situation at a glance he gave chase also, but found him- 
 self a bad fourth, with no hope of coming up with the deserter. Calling on 
 him to stop, with no effect upon the lively retreating foe, Shaw fired at him. 
 The bullet cut the wind close to his face, and he at once stopped, throwing 
 up his hands. For an instant the officer feared that his shot had taken ef- 
 fect, but this soon proved not to be the case. The two brothers coming up 
 seized him by the collar. " O dear ! O dear ! " he cried, gasping for breath, as 
 he stood pale, trembling, and hatlfiss; "I don't know what made me run 
 away, t really couldn't help it. My legs started off with me before I. knew 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 1 65 
 
 what 1 was doing. O dear ! O dear ! what shall I do, what shall I do ! " 
 The serious side of this scene having happily passed without injury to the de- 
 serter, a reaction took place, and the officer and the two brothers laughed 
 until the tears ran down their cheeks. The prisoner was duly brought to 
 Watertown without further incident, and honorably served out his term of 
 enlistment as a good soldier. He lived to return after the close of the war, 
 and married a worthy wife, thus wiping out by manly service the weakness 
 induced by ill health and bad counsel. 
 
 Special Agent Kirby got upon the track of a deserter who was engaged 
 in Watertown in the bounty broker business. . Owing to a quarrel with his 
 partner he was '• given away " to the officer as being a deserter from the 
 navy. Kirby found him out, but he said he had a discharge up in Rutland 
 at his father's, and suggested that he hire a horse and buggy and accompany 
 hira up there for it. This was done ; and on arriving at the house Kirby 
 proceeded to follow him up to his wife's room, but finding the lady unpre- 
 pared for their visit he remained outside in the halL '■ Mary," said the de- 
 serter, "where is my discharge?" " In that lower bureau drawer over there," 
 was the instant response of his wife. Kirby remained for a few minutes 
 awaiting the advent of his prisoner, when, deeming the time sufficient, he 
 opened the door only to see an open window and his prisoner exercising 
 "leg bail" in a brilliant burst of speed for the woods not far off. A glance 
 at the situation showed Kirby that the game was up, and he returned to 
 Watertown somewhat crestfallen. However, he said nothing, hut concluded 
 that his deserter would return soon, and in this view he made no mistake. A 
 week later he was caught in his boarding place in town, and sent back to his 
 ship, serving faithfully, and came back to the county after the war, dying 
 here only a couple of years ago. 
 
 On another occasion Special Agent Kirby and Chief Clerk Greenleaf went to 
 Le Ray in a buggy to arrest a deserter. Having found him at work in a field 
 some miles distant from his home, he said he was not a deserter, but had his per- 
 mit to be absent on leave at his house. This seemed possible, and the man said 
 he would harness his horse to the wagon and drive with them to show them the 
 order. The horse was a poor looking animal, and as the man's brother was 
 with him they were allowed to drive ahead and show the way. All went well 
 until a turn in the road was reached, when the whip was applied by the de- 
 serter to his old horse, with such result as to completely outpace the officer's 
 roadster. .A.mid a cloud of dust the disappearing fugitive reached his home, 
 and bolted for the woods, escaping in the deepening darkness. This escape 
 was comically described by an eye-witness, and "the race" was long after- 
 wards remembered as a decidedly laughable scene. 
 
 This same excellent officer arrested seven deserters on one trip to Hen- 
 derson, the largest capture made in the history of the office. 
 
 When the draft for the town of Salisbury took place Deputy Provost-Mar- 
 shal Cook was present, this being his residence. He was requested to try

 a turn at the wheel, and did so, remarking that " he knew how to shake his 
 own name to the bottom." The blindfolded man drew out the card, and a 
 shout went up when " James J. Cook '' was the name read off. The fre- 
 quency of such a coincidence was striking, for it occurred several times during 
 the draft in Watertown. 
 
 One diy a would-be recruit entered a barber shop in Watertown and had 
 hair and whiskers neatly dyed. The watchful Kirby spied out his trick and 
 advised Dr. Walker of the scheme. When he appeared for the surgeon's 
 examination his attempt to appear younger than he was came to grief. He 
 acknowledged that he was 55 instead of 45 years of age, but declared he was fit 
 to be a soldier. His investment in hair dye was a dead loss on this occasion. 
 
 William Wright, of Watertown, a well known person at the time, was ap- 
 pointed janitor at headquarters. Wright was a happy, easy-going man, 
 always ready to take it easy when he could. While the officials were all out 
 at dinner one day a soldier called to see about securing transportation back to 
 his regiment. Wright told him to wait a few minutes until some one who could 
 attend to him appeared. A musket of the old pattern, left by one of the 
 veterans not then on duty, was in the corner, and the soldier took it up, say- 
 ing that he would shov him how to handle a gun. Wright was sitting with 
 his chair tilted back agamst the wall of the room, reading a newspaper, and 
 the soldier went through the manual of arms with a great deal of vim. Finally 
 he shouted, " take aim, fire !" Suiting the action to the word, and to his hor- 
 ror, the musket was discharged with a report in the small room like a cannon. 
 It was loaded with the old-fashioned " ball and three-buck-shot" cartridge, 
 and these crashed through the window, the bullet lodging in the casing of 
 the window of the American Hotel opposite, while one of the buck-shot 
 swept into the dining-room, where many guests were at dinner, causing no end 
 of exi,:tement. Wright, when the gun went off, sprang out of his chair and 
 fell sprawling on the floor, half dead with fright, while the soldier ran out and 
 down stairs, never appearing afterwards. Tfiis exploit was the talk of the 
 town for days, and several persons claimed that the charge just missed them. 
 It was the only shot fired at the provost-marshal's office during the war. 
 Wright allowed no loaded guns about after this adventure. 
 
 The draft. — After long preparation, calling for severe and continuous hard 
 work, the efforts of supervisors failed to furnish men fast enough to fill the 
 quotas of the towns, and a draft was ordered, both in 1863 and in 1864, to 
 make up the required number of recruits. Great excitement prevailed 
 throughout the district. Bitter political opponents of the administration 
 uttered dire threats against the provost-marshal and his subordinates, and 
 many feared that a riot would take place if the order for a draft was carried 
 out. The fact was that the dreaded draft was no joke. The revolving wheel 
 knew no law save that of chance. Within its cheerless and capacious circle 
 were received the cards copied from the carefully compared rolls containing 
 the names of all the men liable in a town to do military duty, and the out- 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 1 67 
 
 come was left to the chances of a blind draw. The revolving wheel — a cir- 
 cular box some three feet in diameter by one foot in width, and mounted 
 much as a grindstone usually is — used for the draft was designed by E. B. 
 Wynn, Esq., at his special request. He did his work very creditably, but the 
 fates brought about a strange reward for his kindness, his being one of the 
 earliest names drawn from the cylindrical wheel he had so skillfully con- 
 structed. This wheel is now in charge of the sheriff of the county, having 
 been bought at the sale of the office effects by Captain Emerson, and by him 
 loaned to the sheriff for safekeeping, and to be used in the drawing of jurors. 
 Captain Emerson has presented it to the Jefferson County Historical Society, 
 and it will be given over into their keeping as soon as a suitable building for 
 keeping their records is secured. It is one of the most interesting relics of 
 the draft in existence. The draft days were busy ones at the provost-mar- 
 ■shal's headquarters, as well as painfully exciting to the residents of towns 
 about to undergo its trying ordeal. A full record of the daily incidents of the 
 draft would be of intense interest, for many characteristic scenes of the pe- 
 riod would be recalled by the record, now lost forever. It being the object 
 of the writer to place a fair and full picture of the work of the provost mar- 
 shal's office on record, details are given to this end. 
 
 The basis of a draft was determined at the provost-marshal-general's office 
 in Washington, and based upon the population of the various states, as shown 
 by the last census. The enrollment under this same data came under Cap- 
 tain Emerson's jurisdictionin the three counties embraced in the 20th Congres- 
 sional district. When a town was to be "drafted," as the phrase went, the 
 roll was brought out, the cards copied from it, carefully compared and checked 
 off, and the number of men called for to complete the quota was announced. 
 Owing to the nervous and suspicious state of public feeling Captain Emerson 
 was anxious to have every one satisfied that strict impartiality was observed 
 in all the stages leading up to the draft. He believed that patience and care 
 in explaining all the details connected with the important event would do 
 much to convince all interested that no favoritism whatever was permitted, 
 and that all was open for inspection, everythmg being conducted on the fair 
 and square principle. 
 
 At this distance of time, when a new generation has grown up in the in- 
 terval, it is hard to form any adequate idea of the bitter and malignant preju- 
 dices which were aroused by the draft. Anti-war Democrats — as a class of 
 grumblers connected with the Democratic party were then generally called — 
 openly declared that there would be some sleight of hand used whereby Re- 
 publicans would escape and Democrats would be drafted herein Watertown. 
 Absurd and senseless rumors flew thick about, deeply stirring up strife and 
 creating bad blood. It was a threatening time about the city, and grave 
 fears were entertained by good men as to the result of a draft during this 
 heated period. The object of the Democratic tactics was to make the en- 
 forcement of the law difficult, and with the masses of the people unpopular. 
 
I 68 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 War had become serious by this time. The cruel and bloody record of many- 
 months of disease and carnage, and the burial-mounds multiplied amid the 
 old home scenes, where gallant soldiers were laid away to rest, surrounded 
 with the hallowed associations of peace and youth, had made war a terrible 
 alternative. Besides, those who could go readily early volunteered ; later on,, 
 others followed as duty made the way clear; but when a great additional 
 " 300,000 more " was needed the solemnity of the situation became deep 
 and impressive. The Union rested on the bayonets of our soldiers, and if 
 these were allowed to trail in the dust all would be lost. Every man at home 
 who gave the government loyal support even in the humblest way was a hero, 
 in full measure, for united patriotism at home and the boys in blue at the front 
 struck down a false flag and wiped out tlie dark shadow that had cursed our 
 civihzation from the first. The pent-up eagerness of the people in the early- 
 da) s of June was painful. The public pulse was in a flutter. Many beheved 
 that the draft would be resisted by blind force. Men who never thought of 
 going to the front to fight the rebels openly swore that they would fight to- 
 stop the draft ! Somehow, and why it is hard to explain, the people had an 
 idea that the government would not dare to enforce the proposed drafting of 
 men. The morning before the first draft took place in Watertown a prom- 
 inent Democrat stopped Captain Emerson on his way to his office early in 
 the day, and calling him aside said, "Captain, you must 7iot have the draft 
 to morrow, for if you do there will be bloodshed. You and I are old friends, 
 
 and I tell you this in seriousness. It is a dangerous time. Why, even 
 
 swears he will shoulder a musket and help prevent it." " The draft will pro- 
 ceed to-moirow as ordered," replied the Captain coolly, " and if it is resisted 
 I will see that my duty is performed as I understand it," and he walked on. 
 to his office. All through the day leading citizens of both parties called, and 
 most of them came to decry allowing the draft to take place until public 
 excitement had time to cool off. The Union League of Watertown held a 
 meeting the same evening to consider the situation, and Captain Emerson 
 was invited before them and earnestly advised to postpone the draft owing 
 to the unrest about it. " Gentlemen," was the Captain's dignified answer, 
 "I have been ordered by superior officers at Washington to commence the 
 draft to-morrow, and it will take place. It is simply my duty as a military 
 officer to obey orders, and this is what I propose to do." A leading Repub- 
 lican lawyer, John Clark, Esq., patriotic and honored as few of our citizens 
 ever were, said to Captain Emerson on this occasion, " You don't seem to- 
 realize the danger we are in. You don't know what trouble there is brewing. 
 You had better order the draft delayed so as to let this intense excitement 
 die out. Why, blood will flow in our streets, most likely, if you persist in 
 your determination to go on with this draft." " I cannot answer for what may 
 occur," slowly and impressively responded the Captain, "beyond the fact 
 that I shall go on with the draft in the morning at the appointed hour. My 
 duly is to obey orders, and it is also the duty of all good citizens to respect 
 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 169 
 
 and obey the laws. If we are to have bloodshed I shall not commence it ; 
 and if riotous proceedings take place I shall do my best to enforce order, and 
 I believe I shall be able to do so. At any rate I will do my part, and if any 
 disturbance follows those who incite it must answer for the consequences." 
 The situation jvas critical, and no one knew this better than did Captain Emer- 
 son. He had a list of the fault-finders and turbulent "anti-drafters," and knew 
 what threats had been made and who made them. But, better than all, he 
 had a goodly company of invalid soldiers ready at hand, armed and equipped, 
 prepared to compel peace at the point of the bayonet. The cool and digni- 
 fied bearing of the provost- marshal did much to quiet the anxious and awe the 
 would-be disturbers. The facts were that he did not "scare," as one of the 
 Democrats phrased it, "worth a cent." The draft took place as ordered, and 
 a quieter town could not be found anythere. It was even painfully still, as 
 though a funeral was taking place. Captain Emerson had inspired both fear 
 and confidence by his tact and courage, and the embers of what at one time 
 threatened to burst into a blaze of party fury died out utterly. 
 
 For convenience sake the draft took place in the historic old county clerk's 
 office on Court street. It was so small that only a few could be admitted, 
 but enough of both parties were called in to examine the cards and rolls to 
 insure full and unquestioned evidence of the perfect fairness of the opera- 
 tion. The manner of conducting the draft was briefly as follows: After a 
 satisfactory comparison of the rolls and cards the latter were placed in the 
 "wheel" through a little trap door, and then this was closed. The supervi- 
 sor of the town being drafted was generally invited to turn the wheel, thus 
 ■shaking up the cards thoroughly. A blindfolded boy was then allowed to 
 open the slot, reach in his hand, and take out one card. This was handed 
 to the official in charge, and the name and number on it was read out aloud at 
 the door, for the benefit of the deeply anxious crowd outside. This name 
 was put down, the card checked and filed, and thus the operation was re- 
 peated- until a sufficient number of names had been drafted to fill the quota. 
 
 There never was the slightest ground for any complaint, so far as the draft- 
 ing process was concerned, in our district. Some curious results, however, 
 came out of the "wheel," as the circular box used for drafting was called. 
 At Evans Mills a club of young men was formed for mutual protection in 
 case one of their number was drafted. When it took place nearly every one 
 of them was drafted ! In one town in our county, having a Democratic 
 supervisor, six veterans, who had reenlisted in the field, sent home to have 
 their bounty of $300 paid to them from this town. As they had been 
 credited already to the town this supervisor thought he had them sure and 
 fast, and refused to pay over their bounty. This caused a row, of course, 
 and the outcome of it all was that Captain Emerson got an order to credit 
 these six men to a town that stood ready to pay the bounty due, and this was 
 ■done quickly and gladly by the supervisor of Watertown. Word was sent to 
 that a draft for six men would take place the next week. A clap of

 thunder from a clear sky could not have mide more commotion than did this 
 order. The town was up in arms against tlieir foolish supervisor. Curses 
 long and loud fell upon him. The day of the draft nearly every man liable 
 to its claims was on hand. These crowded one of our offices in the Safford 
 block, and after the examination of the rolls, etc., had been satisfactorily 
 made the draft commenced. The supervisor was invited inside the railing, 
 as were several prominent citizens of the town, to see that all was properly 
 done. After three men had been drafted Captain Emerson, noticing the 
 pale face of the supervisor, invited him to turn the wheel. He did so, revers- 
 ing it twice or three times, and giving it a good shaking up. " Put in your 
 hand and take out a card," said the Captain. The supervisor did so, handing 
 it to the officer conducting the operations. When the name was read out it 
 was the supervisor's. He had drafted himself J A great, angry shout of ap- 
 proval went up from his disgusted neighbors and townspeople, as the poor 
 man sank back in his chair, pale as though mortally wounded by a shot from 
 the enemy in battle. The comments made by those present were far from 
 comforting, and he sat half dazed until the draft was over and many had 
 gone out of the room. It cost him $1,500 to get a substitute, the unwilling 
 price of pig-headed meanness and folly. 
 
 The " draft " was an efficient way to fill quotas, but in our Congressional dis- 
 trict only a small percentage were drafted. The able supervisors of the sev- 
 eral towns — each being selected for useful service — succeeded in largely mak- 
 ing up their quotas through substitutes and volunteers. The bounties raised 
 by the various towns amounted to large sums, but these were paid cheerfully. 
 The town of EUisburgh, in Jeff'erson County, wiped off" its indebtedness in 
 one year, the tax rate being seven per cent.! 
 
 It can be truthfully and deservedly claimed for the officials in the provost- 
 marshal's offi-e in VVatertown thit they very effi2iently did their whole duty 
 as honest and patriotic men. They were all intensely in earnest in the work 
 committed to their hands. In no district was the discipline better or the rep- 
 utation superior, in all that contributed to the public confidence in the pro- 
 vost-marshal's office. Many of the subordinates had been tried in battle ; 
 several were suff'ering from serious wounds. Lieut. McOmber,Brayton C.Bailey, 
 S. Harvey Simmons, Lieut. I. P. Woddell, Louis C. Greenleaf, James P. Kirby^ 
 and Albert D. Shaw were all veterans, each having volunteered at the com- 
 mencement of the war, and either served two years, the term of enlistment, 
 or had been discharged on account of wounds or disabihty. Bailey carried 
 a bullet in his head, having received a severe wound at the second battle of 
 Bull Run. 
 
 An honorable and highly valuable public service was rendered by Captain 
 Emerson and his subordinates in a very trying period of the nation's history^ 
 and in a manner reflecting the greatest credit upon them all. They filled the 
 measure of a patriotic duty without fear and without favor, and brought no 
 reproach upon the fair name and fame of the 20th Congressional district. It

 is fitting and altogether proper, therefore, that a brief record of this perilous 
 era in the history of Jefferson County should have a place in this Gazetteer, 
 for the work performed was in every way well done. 
 
 The following communication from the War Department will show that an 
 effort to secure a complete list of the enrolling officers from the files of that 
 office was unavailing. The records of the provost- marshal's oflSce in Water- 
 town were all turned over to the proper authoriiies at Washington, and no 
 duplicates were retained. This will explain the regretted omission in this 
 instance : —

 "The district embraced the counties of Jefferson, Lewis, and Herkimer, and was sub- 
 divided for enrollment and draft purposes into flfty-eight (58) sub-districts, with an enrolling 
 officer for each. B. H. Huntington was enrolling officer for Adams, first sub-district (Jeffer-

 THE JEFFERSON COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY. 
 
 A history of the medical profession, with a personal sketch of the physicians who be- 
 longed to it, and who are now members of the Jefferson County Medical Society, 
 or are in sympathy with its Code of Ethics, in so far as can be ascertained. 
 
 BY DR. J. MORTIMER CRAWE. 
 
 In February, 1806, the legislature of this state passed a law to incorporate 
 state and county medical societies, and repealing all former acts relating to 
 the practice of medicine and surgery in this state. Three months after its 
 passage, and pursuant to its provisions, some 20 societies were organized, and 
 within two years scarcely a county in the state was without a regularly incor- 
 porated medical society. Under this act a meeting of the physicians of the 
 county was held at Watertown, December 17, i8o6, and the Jefferson County 
 Medical Society was organized. At this meeting there were present, and 
 united with the society, the following physicians : — 
 
172 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 Roster of the founders of the original Jefferson County Medical Society, 
 1806: Daniel Barney, John Durkee, Eli Eastman, Benjamin Farlie, Hugh 
 Henderson, Jabez Kingsbury, Isaiah Massey, Isaac Magoon, David B. Ripley, 
 Ozias H. Rawson, James D. Seisco, Elias Skinner, H. Wilcox. The follow- 
 ing officers were elected : John Durkee, president ; Daniel Barney, vice- 
 president ; Hugh Henderson, secretary ; Isaiah Massey, treasurer ; Benjamin 
 Farlie, Eli Eastman, and Hugh Henderson, censors; Hugh Henderson, del- 
 egate to State Society. 
 
 In February, 1807, a State Society was formed at Albany, consisting of 
 delegates from the various county societies. 
 
 Hugh Henderson, the first representative of the Jefferson County Medical Society to the 
 State Society at Albany, is believed to have been a graduate of the College of Physicians and 
 Surgeons, of the Westem District of New York, situated at Fairfield, Herkimer County. He 
 located at an early day in Rutland Center. His death, within a very few years, cut short a 
 life full of promise for the future. He was one of the founders of the old Jefferson County 
 Medical Society in 1806, its first secretary, one of the board of censors, aod the first delegate 
 to the State Society, and must have been one of the founders of that society, as its first meet- 
 ing was in 1807, and it was composed of delegates from the various county societies. He 
 probably died soon afterwards, as the records show that, at the meeting of the County Society, 
 in 1808, Dr. Henry H. Sherwood was appointed to fill the vacancy of delegate to the State 
 Society, caused by his death. He was the first person buried in the Rutland cemetery (on the 
 hill opposite the lake), and years afterwards bis remains were removed to Brooksiae Cemeterr, 
 of Watertown. Dr. Henderson was supervisor of Rutland in 1808. 
 
 John Durkee , another of the founders and the first president of the Jefferson County 
 Medical Society, lived near Champion village, on the road to Great Bend, across the gulf, next 
 lot to the cemetery, and nearly opposite the old Baptist Church. Judge Hubbard credits him 
 with coming to this town in 1800. Here he resided for a number of years, having a large and 
 extensive practice, and was the physician of that country; "and in his day was the oldest and 
 best known i^ the community." That he was much respected by, and stood well in the opin- 
 ion of, his fellow citizens, and had their full confidence, is evident from the fact that, in 1811, 
 he was appointed, by the governor, judge under the first constitution, and was sent to the 
 Assembly in 1812. In November, 1804, he was chosen one of three delegates to discuss the 
 site for a county seat, and represented Champion as the possible place. That he had also the 
 confidence of his fellow practitioners is apparent from their conferring upon him, at their first 
 meeting as a body politic, the honor of being president of the County Medical Society at its 
 inauguration. Shortly after the War of 1812-15 he was a partner of Dr. G. P. Spencer, who 
 succeeded him. Becoming imbued with the western fever he removed to Terre Haute, Ind., 
 where he died. 
 
 Daniel Barney, another founder of the County Society, and its first vice-president, was 
 born in Swansea, Bristol County, Mass.. July 2, 1768. He married Abigail Bucklin, of Kent 
 County, B. I., and with his wife and son Lowrey came to Little Falls, Herkimer County, N. Y., 
 in 1794. He removed to Rutland, this county, in 1802, and from thence moved to Adams vil- 
 lage in March, 1803, and finally settled in Henderson, April 7, 1807, where he died May 19, 
 1828. He was a prominent man in his day, well remembered and spoken of by the old inhabi- 
 tants, and had a large practice. 
 
 Isaiah Massey was a brother of Hart Massey, who was one of the pioneers that settled 
 Watertown in 1800. He was uncle of Solon Massey, the author of A Link in the Chain, which 
 gives a description of the early settlement of Jefferson County; also granduncle of Drs. Will- 
 iam Penn and Isaiah Massey. He came here from Vermont some time in the fall of 1801. 
 Soon after arriving his services were required to dress the wounds of a man who had been 
 accidently shot; "the first case of surgery and gun-shot wound in his pioneer practice; and 
 he was often heard to say that it was the greatest trial his nerves had ever endured"; — on horse- 
 back and alone, in the night threading his way through the dark and gloomly woods, to see a 
 man, whom, from the description given by the messenger, he expected to find dead, but on his

 arrival, to his great relief and joy, be found alive and able to unbolt the door for him, he, 
 like many others of the profession, learning that in many cases the anticipation was worse 
 than the reality. In 1802 he opened an inn, the first one in Watertown. In 1805 he was one 
 •of nine persons who deeded to the village land now occupied as a public square. In 1806 he 
 was secretary of Eastern Light Lodge, No, 136, He was one of the founders #1' the County 
 .Society, and its fi.rst treasurer. He was born June 2, 1778, and died at Jerseyville, 111,, August 
 20, 1820, 
 
 Benjamin Farhe is reported to have come to this county from Lee, Oneida County, and is 
 ■ credited by Judge Noadiah Hubbard with being in Champion in. the year 1800. We learn, 
 .also, from Mrs. John A. Sherman, that he came into Eutlaud about 1803, and was cotemporary 
 ■with Dr. Abel Sherman. He lived in a house then standing near the present site of the 
 •cheese factory, between it and the residence of George Waffel. He is also reported to have 
 practiced in Sacliets Harbor previous to the War of 1812-15; afterwards as practicing in Water- 
 -town. He joined the County Society in 1806, was censor that year, and was its seci-etary in 1813 . 
 Dr. Farlie was a widower, and had a son, Ichabod, who practiced with him in Watertown; and 
 .although his name does not appear on the County Society rolls it is presumed he was a mem- 
 ber during the period he remained in this county. There was also a daughter, Arthesa, who 
 married Dr. John M. Burton. After his death she married Mr. Mattison, father of Governor 
 Mattison, of Illinois. Dr. Farlie and his son were handsome, noble looking men in stature, 
 respectively six feet two inches and six feet. They wei-e always neatly and tastily dressed, 
 iept fine horses, had a large practice, and were highly respected. When they left Watertown, 
 •or where they located, is not known . 
 
 Eli Eastman, one of the first board of censors, was born in Guilford, Conn,, October 3, 
 1777. That he received an academic education was very evident, but where, at this late day, 
 it is impossible to determine, nor when or where he graduated, or with whom he read medi- 
 cine. Mrs. A. P. Sigourney, his daughter, who resides near Watertown, remembers distioctly 
 .having seen his diploma. He was married at Wetmore, Oneida County, N. Y., September 16, 
 1809, and came directly to Adams, where he practiced until his death, September 16, 1844. It 
 is thought he was the first physician permanently settled in that town. Tliere is a tradition 
 .about a Dr. Green, previous to his time, but how long he stayed, where he came from, or went 
 itO, is not known. Dr. Eastman was highly esteemed, had an extensive practice, and so much 
 were his professional services sought after that for the two or three years previous to his death, 
 .after he was unable to drive himself, people from the surrounding country having severe 
 •cases of sickness in their families came in their carriages and :took him to their homes, where 
 they kept him until the result was known. He was at the battle of Sackets Harbor in the ca- 
 pacity of a sui'geon. He was again elected censor of the society in 1826. 
 
 Of the seven remaining members, founders of the County Society in 1806, 
 ■no record can be obtained. 
 
 In 1807 there is no record of officers of the society, but that there was a 
 meeting is evident from the following, copied from the remnants of the 
 journal and roster of members, preserved from the fire of 1849, and in the 
 possession of the late Dr. William R. Trowbridge, the last secretary of the 
 ■old society : "Committee appointed to ascertain whether unauthorized per- 
 sons were practicing medicine, and if so to prosecute them," Six persons 
 were admitted to membership. A notice of each will be found as follows: — 
 
 William Baker, the first physician who settled in Sackets, went there in 1803. He joined 
 ■the County Society in 1807. 
 
 Joshua Beals, Jr., settled in Adams about 1806, and became a member of the County So- 
 ■ciety in 1807. 
 
 Daniel Brainard, father of O. V. Brainard, came to Watertown from Whiteetown, Oneida 
 ■County, about 1805, and married Miss Lorraine Hungerford, sister of Hon. Orville Hunger- 
 ford, in 1806. He practiced medicine in Watertown, joined the society in 1807, and died the 
 27th day of January, 1810.

 Joel Dresser practiced in Ellis village about 1805, and was made a member of the society 
 in 1807.

 Isaac Weston "was the first physician to permanently locate in Lorraine, about the year 
 1806. He joined the County Society in 1807, and was its vice-president in 1825. 
 
 Abel Sherman, born in Brimfield, Mass-, came to Clinton, Oneida County, N. Y., where 
 he remained a few years, when he moved to Butland, Jefferson County, in 1803. Ho was the 
 grandfather of John A. Sherman. Mrs. J. A. Sherman has in her possession a dictionary with 
 his name and a date — 1782 — and a Bible. An entry, on the page for family record, reads as fol- 
 lows: "Abel Sherman and Orinda Bicknal was married June 14. 1784, by Bev. John Willard, 
 of Stafford, Connecticut." He settled in Eutland on the north side of the South road, next 
 farm to where John A. Sherman lived, about three-fourths of a mile above Biirrville. He built 
 a frame house, which was considered a grand affair at that time, and it still stands there. He 
 bought and cleared 220 acres of timbered- land, and was the first sheriff of Jefferson County. 
 An active, energetic man, the duties devolving upon him in his official capacity, combined- 
 with the fatigue and hardships of his professional life, broke down a naturally strong consti- 
 tution, compelling him, for many years previous to his death, to relinquish active practice. 
 Ho was admitted to membership in the County Society in 1807, and died in the summer of 
 1835. aged 72 years. 
 
 Eli West, born in Hampton, Washington County, N. Y,, July 26, 1792, came into Car- 
 thage, May 15, 1816, and was successful in building up a large practice. He was a man 
 greatly respected and had a large influence in the community. A volunteer in the War of 1812- 
 15, he did good service, and was present at the battle of Plattsburgh. He was member of 
 Assembly in 1834 and 1844, and supervisor in 1823-27, 1830-32, and 1840-41. He held the 
 office of justice of the peace for a number of years, being appointed to the first term of office- 
 by Governor De Witt Clinton. He was school commissioner and town superintendent of com- 
 mon schools; was also brigade surgeon in the militia, was a member of the board of village 
 trustees eight years, six of these being its president, and was made chairman of the flret meet-

 Carthage, May 4, 18G1, and took a very decided stand for the government, giving of his own 
 means and successfully urging others to subscribe money to aid in the prosecution of the war, 
 by supporting the families of volunteers. He gi'eatly rejoiced that he lived to see the close of 
 the war and the government's authority sustained. He died June 28, 1866, after a period of 
 compulsory retirement from his labors, made necessary through age and infirmities. His 
 funeral was among the largest ever occurring in Carthage, and bore evidence of the high re- 
 gard in which he was held in the community. Rev. Mr. Stewart preached the funeral sermon, 
 and the Masonic fraternity performed the last service. He joined the society in 1807. 
 
 Horatio Orvis was the first practicing physician who located in Le Ray, about 1807. In 
 1816 he was one of the two composing the first graduating class of Fairfield Medical College.

 cian. He was appointed loan commissioner in 1810 and served to 1829; was associate justice 
 in 1818; and was appointed, by the governor, county clerk March 5, 1821. He had, no doubt, 
 practiced in Rutland previous to 1808, as the first mention of him is in the records of the- 
 County Society as being elected delegate to the State Medical Society to fill vacancy caused 
 by the death of Dr. Henderson. It is believed that he moved to Watertown about the date of 
 his appointment as county clerk, as he served two terms, or six years, in that office. He built

 went to Turin, where he died April 15, 1829. The following extract is made from Lis obituary 
 by Dr. Willoughby, president of Fairfield Medical College: — 
 
 " For nearly 30 years Dr. Sherwood pursued the objects of his important calling; priva- 
 tions, ordinary ill health or fatigue never kept him from visiting the sick when necessity re- 
 quired. Benevolence formed one of the distingnisbing traits of his character. His liberaUty 
 was as extensive as his means; his friendships warm and abiding; his piety to God, his useful- 
 ness as a citizen and physician, his resignation to the Divine will, hisperiect disiuteiestedness,. 
 and his aident love of truth have been rarely equalled."

 Ithemer B. Crawe, a native of Connecticut, was born at Enfield, Hartford County, in that 
 state, June 11, 1792. In 1802, when he was nine years old, the family moved to Hamilton, 
 Madison County, N. Y. He worked on his father's farm summers and went to the district 
 school winters until he was 19. In August, 1811, he inj ured himself by overwork in the wheat- 
 field. From this time until 1813 he was under medical treatment. Being able to walk and 
 ride about he turned his attention to botanical pursuits, and so great an enthusiast did he be- 
 come that he has been known to ride long distances in pursuit of some particular plant. From 
 his youth he was noted for the interest he took in anything belonging to the animal or veg- 
 etable kingdom. During this time he made a large collection, arranging and classifying them, 
 laying the foundation for that acknowledged proficiency in botanical research he afterwards 
 attained. His physicians advising him to visit the seashore he went to Block Island, in Ehode 
 Island, and returning taught school four months in Earlville, Madison County, S. Y. In 
 April, 1815, he went to Augusta, Oneida County, where be taught a district school three terms, 
 in all 17 months, aud from November, 1816, to April, 1817, he had charge of a school at Clin- 
 ton, in the same county. His health again failing he went to New Bedford, Mass., and sailed 
 from there, about the first of May, for the Grand Banks of New Foundland, on a fishing voy- 
 age. After making two voyages, his health being restored, in October be started for home, 
 and on his way stopped at Albany, where he engaged to teach a select school. Here he stayed 
 two terms of 12 weeks each, and returning home in March, 1818, he entered the office of Dr. 
 Hastings, where he remained, pursuing his medical studies, about two years. Through the 
 kindness of his preceptor he was enabled to indulge in his favorite pursuit, having the use of 
 a plot of ground, wheie he raised many rare plants, among them being a bed of poppies, from 
 which he obtained a quantity of opium. He next studied and worked in the laboratory with 
 Dr. Noyes, professor of chemistry in Hamilton College. Connected with the college was a 
 large cabinet of minerals, to which he had fiee access, and here, no doubt, his love of research 
 in this branch of the natural sciences received additional stimulus, which never abated- for at 
 his death his cabinet of minerals attained such size tl.at it weighed eight tons. During the 
 
THE JEFFERSON COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY. 1 79 
 
 session of 1821 and '22 he continued liis studies at the College of Pliysicians and Surgeons of 
 Hew York city. Coming home io the spring of 1822 he entered into partnership with Dr. 
 Bissel, of Clinton, with whom he remained some six months, when he moved to Watertown, 
 N. y., where he married Charlotte F. Mortimer. After practicing here a number of years he 
 was invited by some of the prominent citizens of Ogdensburg to locate there. Accordingly 
 he went there, remaining about three years, and left to take charge of some lead mining op- 
 erations at Lubec, Maine. This proved a failure, and he returned home and moved to Pontiae, 
 Mich., where he resided some three years. 
 
 Sickness of himself and family obliged him to return to Watertown, where he continued 
 to reside until his death. He discovered and described a number of new plants, one of which 
 bears his name, Caret' Orawei. or Crawe's Sedge. His friend Prof. Grey, of Cambridge, MSss., 
 requested him to procure for him some rare plants which are found on the marsh at Perch 
 Lake, and are in their greatest perfection about the iirst of June. Having patients on ihe 
 opposite side of the lake he went there to Eee them June 3, 1847. After visiting them he 
 crossed the lake in a leaky boat, the only one obtainable at that time, taking a small pan to 
 bail with, and accompanied by Enoch Eddy, a, large fleshy man, and William C. Gould, a 
 young man, the son of one of liis patients. They crossed the lake safely, and he made a large 
 collection of the desired specimens, which he arranged in a large book, with heavy, strapped 
 covers. About 5 P. M. they started to return. The wind having freshened since morning the 
 waves were rolling, causing the boat to strain and leak badly. When about 20 rods from 
 shore it became evident that the boat must sink. The Doctor, rising in the boat, threw his 
 book as far towards the shore as possible, and, taking out his watch, said, '"It is just 6 o'clock; 
 this boat will sink in a few minutes. Mr. Eddy, you stick to the boat; Gould and I can swim." 
 When the boat sunk he caught and held up Mr. Eddy, turned over the boat, and helped him 
 onto it, and he soon floated near the shore. With Mr. Gould he started for laud. The 
 former was ahead and reached the shore with difficulty, and turning to look back he saw the Doc- 
 tor's feet sticking out of the water. He was an exceedingly fine, powerful swimmer, and must 
 have had cramps in his shoulders caused by the extra exertion he was obliged to make, en- 
 cumbered as he was with clothing and long, heavy boots made to wade through wet, marshy 
 grounds. When the news reached his home some of his Masonic friends started out that 
 nigljt and began dragging the lake early the next morning. His body was found some six 
 rods from shore, in atiout seven feet of water. Thus was he out down in the vigor of his 
 manhood. 
 
 Dr. Crawe was widely known among men of science, both in this country and in Europe, as 
 was evinced by his extensive correspondence and exchanges of specimens, by the notices of his 
 death that appeared in scientific journals, and by the resolutions of respect and condolence 
 offered and passed by the County and State Medical societies, and by the Masonic order. He 
 enjoyed a large practice, was well and favorably known, and his lots at the time, and in the 
 manner it happened, was a great shock to his family, and deeply felt by the community in which 
 he lived. He was a prominent Mason, which fraternity attended his funeral in a body, and 
 with the rest of his friends and neighbors testified their respect for his memoiy, sympathizing 
 with his family in their great afHiction, and manifested their own sorrow and regret at his 
 loss. He became a member of the County Society in 1822; was its secretary in 1825; censor in 
 1826, '28, '29, '30, '34, and '41; president in 1827 and 1842; and delegate to the State Society in 
 1834 and 1844. In 1846 the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon him 
 by the Kegents of the University on the recommendation of the State society.

 Peace having been declared, and his services being no longer required. Dr. Spencer, on his 
 way home, pas-sing through Champion, was called in by Dr. Durkee to assist in dressing the leg 
 of a man which had been crushed. He arranged with the Doctor for a partnership, and began 
 practice with him. He had an iron constitution, indefatigable iu the pursuit of his profes- 
 sional duties, and rode on horseback by day and by night, fording streams, with his clothes 
 strapped to his horse's head, as I have heard him relate it. In pursuing his extensive and ex- 
 tending practice, as long as his health would permit, he was called to visit patients and in 
 council, in both medical and surgical cases, into Lewis, Oneida, Oswego, and St. Lawrence 
 counties, and Canada, riding one horse over 20 years. In 1854 he was attacked by a malignant 
 congestive fever, and it was about four months before he could resume his practice. Finding 
 his health was so much impaired as to prevent his attending upon his numerous professional 
 engagements, he concluded to change his residence, and moved into Watertown in the summer

 James K. Bates. — The following is taken from a sketch of Dr. Bates, written by his brother- 
 in-law, Dr. Massey, of Brownville : — 
 
 " The late Dr. James K. Bates was born in Killingly, Conn ., on the 24th day of June, 1806, 
 and died in Watertown. N. Y., June 30, 1872, in the 66th year of his age. His mother was a 
 sister of Jason Fairbanks, Esq., of this city. His' early life was spent on a rough, stony Con- 
 necticut farm till he was neaily 18 years old. He had the advantage of a good common school, 
 in the district in which his father resided, and made the most of his opportunities. He de- 
 veloped such proficiency in his studies that his father decided to give him a collegiate educa- 
 tion; with this in view he was sent to a preparatory academy at Monson, Mass. During his 
 first year at Monson his father died. This made it necessary for him to go home. Not long 
 after the death of his father his uncle, Jason Fairbanks, of this city, went to Connecticut to 
 look after the affairs of his family, and while there had some intimations that James would 
 like to be a physician. Just as his Uncle Fairbanks was about to start for home again he said 
 "to James: ' So you want to be a doctor, do you? ' ' I have sometimes thought I would,' he re- 
 plied. * Well, go home with me,' his uncle said, ' and I will see what I can do for you.' Ac- 
 cordingly he came to Watertown, and entered his name as a student of medicine in the oflace 
 of the late Amasa Trowbridge. 
 
 " The next winter he taught school at the center of the town. He soon went to Fairfield, 
 Herkimer County, and continued his studies in the office of Dr. Sherwood, paying his way by 
 -taking charge of the postoffioe. In 1830 he attended medical lectures at the Fairfield Medical 
 College. He, with three others, look a room, boarding themselves, doing their own cooking, 
 etc., at an expense of six shillings a week each, all told. One of this number was Jesse Ayers, 
 of Brownville; another Dr. K. Hannahs, of Watertown. His economical mode of living gave 
 llm obstinate dyspepsia, and before the close of his second course he left, sick, poor, and dis- 
 couraged, and came back to Watertown. Regaining his health somewhat he took the village 
 «chool at Brownville, and began practice with Dr. Gray. He was soon after licensed to practice 
 medicine by the County Medical Society, and practiced under this license until 1840, when he 
 received an honorary degree of M. D. from the Medical College of Castleton, Vt. In February, 
 1831, he married Miss Sei'ena L. Massey, of Watertown, and for 20 years practiced in Brown- 
 ville. Early in his business life he took great pains to help young men who wished to study 
 medicine. Among his students were William A. Wood, now of Wisconsin; David Hunter, of

 Sackets Harbor; Levi Jerome, of Wisconsin; George Brown, Jr., of New Jersey; I. B. Kaasey, 
 of Sandusky, Ohio; Oscar Earl; E. Sill, of Watertown; Dr. Sloat; Dr. Bingham, of Kome; A. M. 
 Shew, bf the Insane Asylum of Middleton, Mass.; and many others. His house was my home 
 from the time I was nine years old until I commenced business for myself, as his junior part- 
 ner. He boarded many of his students, doing them many kindnesses. He never took, to my 
 knowledge, a dollar for board or tuition, except that while in Brownville he was postmaster, 
 and his students would assist in taking charge of the office. He assisted several of his students 
 through their lectures, and helped them to horse and equipage after graduating, taking his 
 pay in small sums as they could earn it. 
 
 "Dr. Bates was a man of no ordinary mind and faculties, and wherever he sought to make 
 his iniluence felt he was a recognized leader. He was a man of fine presence and good address, 
 quiet and reserved in his manners, but dignified and always the gentleman; scrupulously neat 
 in his person and dress, and as pure in his mmd and manners. In 1848 he moved to Water- 
 town, where he took a good position, very soon working into a large and lucrative practice. 
 To this his best energies were given for 10 or 12 years. He was an active politician, and in 
 1861 was elected inspector of state prisons, which position he held for six years. On retiring 
 from this office he accepted an appointment as medical director of the Empire State Life 
 Insurance Co., and continued in it until his death. He was also for many years a director and 
 vice-president of the National Union Bank. Dr. Bates was agood financier andbusiuess man, 
 without being hard or exacting to the poor. He was a good collector and accumulated a 
 handsome property. He was an active, earnest Christian, and a liberal supporter of every 
 enterprise looking to the good of others; was president of the Medical Society in 1837, vice- 
 president in 1836, and censor in 1842-44."

 His youth was spent working on his father's farm vacations, and In attending the district 
 school when in session, until he was 19, when he left home to become a student at Fairfield 
 Academy. After completing his academic course he entered the College of Physicians and 
 Surgeons at that place, graduating therefrom in January, 1834. Soon after graduating, hav- 
 ing purchased the interest of his brother, Henry J. Munson, he located at Evans Mills as the 
 partner of Dr. Ira Smith, where he remained three years. May 24, 1836, he was married to 
 Miss Cornelia Stebbins, of Rutland, and in the following year he located in that town. In the 
 winter of 1839 he attended another course of lectures at Geneva Medical College, N. Y. He 
 continued active practice until November, 1849, when, as the Democratic candidate, he was 
 elected county clerk. This making a change of residence necessary he moved to Water- 
 town, January 1, 1850. In March, 1803, the organization of the Agricultural Insurance Co. 
 was perfected, and he was chosen one of its directors and its vice-president. It was then lo- 
 cated at Evans Mills, but was soon moved to Watertown, and Dr. Munson was made its .secre- 
 tary and manager. For-a number of years he con+inued- the practice of his profession in 
 connection with his duties to the company, but in course of time it became evident that his 
 whole energies must be engrossed in looking after the interests of the company, and he re- 
 luctantly gave up his practice. It may be truly said of Dr. Munson that by his genial and 
 courteous manners, his sound common sense, and his intelligent and ready reasoning powers, 
 he commanded the respect and esteem of his cotemporaries. Broad and Catholic in sprit, 
 generous and confiding in his friendships, he will long be remembered by a large circle of 
 companions and friends."

 studied with his father and graduated at Fairfield in 1835. He then settled at Medina, Ohio, 
 and married there. His wife dying in 1837 he came to Belleville and was a partner of Dr. 
 Houghton. Here he remained a few years, and in 1843 married Dr. Fisk's daughter, of Ellis

 from bis obituary: — 
 
 "Dr. Amasa Trowbridge, Jr., was accidently killed in the following manner: He was re- 
 turning on horseback from a professional visit to the upper part of the village, and when 
 directly opposite the Catholic Church, on Factory street, was overtaken by a pair of horses, 
 attached to a lumber wagon, on the full run. The pole of the wagon was driven into the 
 Doctor's horse, throwing both horse and rider to the ground, crushing the skull of the latter 
 iu a most frightful manner. On raising the Doctor to a sitting posture the blood gushed from 
 his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He died in about 45 minutes from the time of the acci- 
 dent, and, as may be supposed, was insensible during the whole time . Dr. Crawe and sev- 
 eral other physicians were called, but he was beyond earthly help. He was a bold, skillful, 
 and successful operator, and at the time of his death was 28 years and some months old. He 
 had attained a high professional reputation. Cut off in the morning of his usefulness, his 
 death is regarded as a public calamity, and has diffused a general gloom over our village and 
 vicinity,"

 R. Goodale, and graduated at Fairfield. He afterwards went to Paris, attended lectures, and 
 visited the various hospitals in that city. Returning to Watertown he was for some time with

 sylvania,) he spent two years in Paris, adding to and perfecting his knowledge of medicine 
 and surgery. Returning to Adams he practiced there some time, and moved to Watertown. 
 Here he practiced a number of years, when he retired from active practice. His father, a man 
 of large means, enfeebled from age and debility, unable to attend to his affairs, required his 
 assistance, necessitating the Doctor's reluctantly taking this step, though he still evinced his 
 love for, and interest in, all new developments and discoveries in medicine, and its collateral 
 sciences. Modest and retiring, averse to show or display, he was not understood by the masses, 
 but by his friends he was fully appreciated. His private charities were large, and some young 
 men are indebted to him for the means which enabled them to educate themselves for future 
 usefulness. With a mind well stored, to which he was daily adding by constant reading, and 
 a deep thinker, he was a pleasant and instructive companion; one who freely and wiUingly im- 
 parted it to the young men who took an interest in and were anxious of adding to their store 
 of knowledge in the arts and sciences. 
 
 Alonzo M. Van Ostrand, born in "Watertown, April 4, 1818, studied medicine with Drs. 
 Smith and Comstock, of Evans Mills, N. Y., and graduated from the Geneva Medical College in 
 1842. He first settled in Philadelphia, where he remained two years, when he moved to Evans 
 Mills, where he practiced about 20 years. He joined the County Medical Society in 1843> 
 and was supervisor of the town of Le Bay in 1842 and '43. He is highly spoken of as a 
 physician. 
 
 Leonard Powers, born in Denmark, Lewis County, N. Y., in October, 1816, was educated at 
 Brown's Academy, in that village, studied medicine with Dr. French, of Denmark, and 
 Dr. Eli West, of Carthage, and attended lectures at Fairfield, where he graduated about 1840. 
 He located at Depauville, and practiced with Dr. William Frame about two years, and moved 
 to Stone Mills, where he died May 8, 1844. 
 
 William E. Tyler was born in the town of Hounsfield. His early education was acquired 
 at the common schools, and at Belleville Academy and the Black Elver Literary and BeUgious 
 Institute at Watertown. He attended two courses of lectures at Geneva, and graduated there- 
 from in 1843. He settled at Saokets Harbor, where he has continued to reside. Dr. Tyler has 
 seized as supervisor of the town of Hounsfield from 1873 to 1875. He became a member of the 
 County Society in 1843, and joined the reorganized society April 3, 1877. He has enjoyed the 
 confidence and respect of the community in which he resided, as a physician, as a man of 
 business, and as a good citizen. 
 
 "William G. Comstock was born at Norway, Herkimer County, N. Y., in October, 1809. 
 His parents moved to the town of Salisbury, in the same county, where nearly all his early life 
 was spent. After leaving the district school he took a course at Fairfield Academy, studied med- 
 icine with Dr. Brown, of Salisbury, and Dr. Calvin Smith, of Little Falls, and entered the 
 Fairfield Medical College, graduating from there in 1830. He spent a short time at Ox Bow, 
 Jefferson County, but located at Auriesville, Montgomery County. He was married the same 
 year to Miss Jane Munson, of Salisbury, cousin of Dr. Isaac Munson, of Watertown. Dr. 
 Comstock remained at Auriesville about five years, but becoming impressed with the idea that 
 there was a good opening in the South he spent a few months there during the winter of 
 1837 and '38. His expectations, however, were not realized. At this time a desirable oppor- 
 tunity presented itself of forming a partnership with Dr. Ira A. Smith, of Evans Mills, Jef- 
 ferson County. He went to Evans Mills in the spring of 1838, and the partnership formed 
 remained in force a number of years, but was finally dissolved by mutual consent. He was 
 faithful and conscientious, both as a physician and as a man, and these qualities soon won for 
 him the confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He was very successful, 
 but it was a success won by hard work and loss of health. He died at Evans Mills on the 3d 
 of June, 1851, from consumption, superinduced by overwork and exposure. His colleagues 
 at Evans Mills were Drs. Ira A. Smith and AlonZo M. Van Ostraud."

 ■"President 'Munson delivertd an address; subject, 'Scarlet fever.' Thanks 
 ■of the society extended for the same. A fine for non-attendance of members

 1846. — The following is the only record of officers: Charles Goodale, sec- 
 Tetary ; admitted as a member, E. S. Maxon. 
 
 E. S. Maxon, born in Petersburg, Eensselafir County, N. Y., received the benefits of the 
 ■schools and academies where he resided. Subsequently he took a college course, and had the 
 degrees of A. M. and LL. D. conferred on him in Philadelphia, Pa. He began the study of 
 medicine in 1841 with Drs. Walter Webb and W. T. V. Eosa.of Adams, and graduated from the 
 Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, Pa., in 1845. He practiced at Adams one year, 
 Adams Center 10 years. Genera 10 years, Philadelphia, Pa., three, and Syracuse 17. Dr. 
 Maxon is the author of Maxon's Practice of Medicine, published in Philadelphia in 1861, and 
 JBbspitals: British, French, and American, in 1867. He was a delegate to the International 
 Congress at Paris in 1867. 
 
 1847. — There is no record for this year. 
 
 1848. — The record shows that WiUiam R. Trowbridge was secretary, and 
 that Simon Goodie and M. J. Hutchins were admitted as members. The 
 admission of Dr. Hutchins does not appear on the original record obtained 
 •by me, but I have added his name to the list. He personally stated that he 
 was made a member this year, which statement proves there was a meeting. 
 Of Simon Goodie we have no record 
 
 Mai-tin J. Hutchins was born November 7, 1825, at Schuyler, Herkimer County, N. T. He 
 "was educated at the common and select schools of the town, and studied medicine and surgery 
 with Drs. Davison and Brewster, of Theresa, with whom he continued three years. He at- 
 tended lectures for six months at Castleton Medical College, of Vermont. In 1845 he com- 
 menced the practice of his profession atPlessis, in Alexandria, and remained there until June, 
 1853. In May, 1846, he was granted a license to practice from the Jefferson Medical Society, 
 ■and in 1852 he received an honorary diploma from the Burlington (Vt.) Medical College. Be- 
 ing a pronounced Democrat, and one of the party leaders, he received the appointment of 
 «ustom-honse inspector in June, 1853, and moved to Alexandria Bay, where he assumed the 
 responsibilities of that position, the duties of which he continued to exercise with satisfaction 
 to the powers that be, as he held the office under both the administrations of Pierce and 
 iiichanan, until June, 1861, in all eight years. He then settled at Kedwood, and resumed the 
 ■active practice of his profession, where he has continued up to the present time, having prac- 
 ticed 44 years in the town of Alexandria. He is still hale and hearty, and we trust he miy be 
 spared for many years to come; that he may continue his long, active, and successful career, 
 ■an example to the younger members of the profession ; of one who has lived and toiled to ele- 
 Tate the standard of his profession, and on any and fivery occasion, at all times and in all 
 places, opposing quackery and empiricism in all their various forms. He has always been con- 
 sidered as one of the active members of the society, and has contributed some eight papers to 
 its archives on various medical subjects. He was elected county superintendent of the poor 
 and served three years, was twice elected town superintendent of common schools, and was 
 the treasurer of the board of pension examiners from November, 1885, to August, 1889. Dr. 
 Hutchins joined the reorganized society June 7, 1870, was its president in 1873, and was one 
 ■of the board of censors in 1877 and '79, 
 
 That this was the last regidar meeting of the society there can be 
 no doubt. One or two of the older members of the profession, Drs. Will- 
 
I 9° JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 iam R. Trowbridge and Isaac Munson, think a call was issued for a meeting^ 
 at North Adams in 1849, and one in 1850 at Sackets Harbor; but there was 
 not the necessary quorum present to transact business. The question 
 naturally arises as to the causes which operated to suspend the meetings. 
 Members from distant parts of the county, who had to travel long distances 
 by stage or in their own conveyances, found it difficult and inconvenient, 
 and were offended because the meetings were not held in different parts of 
 the county. Many became disheartened and disgusted when the restrictions 
 and protection thrown around the practice of medicine were rescinded by the 
 legislature, and, as they thought, placed quacks and charlatans on an equal 
 footing with the regular practitioner. Not considering that, as they were 
 thrown upon their own resources, it became their duty, and would have been 
 more praiseworthy in them, as members of an ancient, learned, and honor- 
 able profession, to have girded up their loins anew, determining that by 
 united, harmonious action, looking towards mutual improvement and greater 
 professional attainments, they would gain the confidence of the public and 
 out-distance their opponents. Twenty years elapsed without the opera- 
 tions of a medical society in this county. 
 
 During this time the following physicians have resided in this county, and 
 though some of them practiced medicine during the existence of the old 
 society there is no record of their having joined it: —

 The following named gentleman, though his name does not appear on the 
 rolls of the society, is eminently worthy to be selected from the above list, 
 and some notice taken of him, as one who, by his inventions and discover- 
 ies, has shed a lustre on the town and county in which he lived:— 
 
 Samuel Guthrie was born in Brimfleld, Hampden County, IMaes. Here he studied medi- 
 cine with his father, Samuel Guthrie, Sr., practiced medicine a few years at Smyrna, Chen- 
 ango County, N. Y. , and moved to Saoketa Harbor. He is known as a chemist, wbose reputa- 
 tion is world wide, as being one of the three discoverers of chloroform. Soubeiran in France 
 and Liebig in Germany were the others, and they appear to have made the discovery inde- 
 pendently and simultaneously. He was the first inventor and manufacturer of percussion 
 pills. He died at Sackets Harbor, October 9, 1848. 
 
 In 1868 Dr. F. B. A. Lewis called upon Dr. H. G. P. Spencer and intro- 
 duced the subject of reorganizing the Medical Society. This interview re- 
 sulted in a call dated August 15, 1868, for a meeting of the physicians of the 
 county, to be held at the American Hotel in Watertown, September i, 1868. 
 This call was headed by Dr. Spencer, and signed by 15 other physicians, 10 
 of whom ultimately became members, and which call was duly published in 
 the Watertown Daily Reformer. Pursuant to this call the following gentle- 
 men assembled : — 
 
 Drs. H. G. P. Spencer, William R. Trowbridge, James K. Bates, J. Mor- 
 timer Crawe, and F. B. A. Lewis, of Watertown ; H. S. Hendee, James 
 T. Peeden, and George N. Hubbard, of Carthage; Truman Tuttle, of Rod- 
 man ; and E. G. Derby, of Antwerp. Dr. Peeden was called to the chair 
 and F. B. A. Lewis appointed secretary /rt? tern. After some preliminary busi- 
 ness the meeting proceeded to the election of permanent officers, as follows: 
 H. G. P. Spencer, president; H. S. Hendee, vice-president; F. B. A. 
 Lewis, secretary; William R. Trowbridge, treasurer. A committee was ap- 
 pointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, composed of the following gen- 
 tlemen: Drs. William R. Trowbridge^ James K. Bates, and J. Mortimer Crawe, 
 of Watertown. A committee was also appointed to prepare a fee-bill, com- 
 posed of Drs. Truman Tuttle, of Rodman ; E. G. Derby, of Antwerp; George 
 N. Hubbard, of Carthage ; James K. Bates, WiUiam R. Trowbridge, and 
 J. Mortimer Crawe, of Watertown ; L. E. Frame, of Depauville ; William 
 P. Massey, of Brown ville; W. E. Tyler, of Sackets Harbor, and Dr. Piersons, 
 of Adams. After some other business of minor importance the society ad- 
 journed to meet in annual session at the American Hotel in Watertown, 
 January 12, 1869. By this action the Jefferson County Medical Society was 
 reorganized. 
 
 1869. — " Jefferson County Medical Society, first annual meeting, American 
 Hotel, Watertown, January, 12, 1869. Meeting called to order by the 
 president [Dr. H. G. P. Spencer], and the minutes of the last meeting 
 read by the secretary and approved. The committee on constitution 
 
192 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 and bylaws presented and read the same. The by-laws, as framed 
 hy the committee and amended by the members present, were then 
 adopted. Drs. H. M. Stevens, of Watertown, Frederick Bott, of La Farge- 
 viUe, H. W. Jewett, of Chaumont, E. A. Chapman, of Belleville, and Ira H. 
 Abell, of Antwerp, were then duly elected members of the society. On mo- 
 tion of Dr. Chapman the time for the semi-annual meeting was fixed for the 
 second Tuesday in June, 1869, to be held at Watertown." Drs. H. G. P. 
 Spencer, of Watertown, and H. S. Hendee, of Carthage, were appointed 
 delegates to the State Medical Society. 
 
 At the serai-annual meeting, June 8, 1869, the ordinary rules of pro- 
 ceeding were suspended in order to allow the admission of new members, as 
 follows: Drs. Charles Parker, of Three Mile Bay; L. E. Frame, of Depau- 
 ville ; A. H. Gordinier and L. F. Mason, of Evans Mills ; Charles M. John- 
 son, of Watertown ; and Robert Clink, of Redwood. 
 
 Henry Q. P. Spencer, M. D., son of Gordon P. Spencer, was born in Champion, Jefferson 
 County, N. Y., August 23, 1821. His education was acquired at the Champion Academy and 
 "the Black Eiver Literary and Eeligious Institute of Watertown. He studied medicine with 
 his father and attended lectures at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pa., sessions 
 of 1844, '45, and '46, receiving the diploma of this institution in March, 1846. Returning to 
 Champion he entered into partnership with his father. His health failing him he came to 
 Watertown in 1849, where he now resides. He was one of the main founders of the reorgan- 
 ized County Medical Society in 1868, was its first president, and was also delegate to the State 
 Medical Society and censor in 1872, '73, and '83. He was also vice-president of the State Med- 
 ical Society in 1884. Dr. Spencer is conspicuous for his kindness of heart and unwearied 
 attention to his brother physicians and their families whenever it has been their misfortune 
 to he afflicted with sickness. He has enjoyed a large and lucrative private and consultation 
 practice, and devoting himself as he has to general practice he has made surgery a specialty. 
 He is a bold and skillful operator, has performed many of the major operations, and it has 
 been his aim and ambition to keep pace with the rapid strides and extensive improvements 
 made in modern surgery. 
 
 Horatio S. Hendee was born in Greig, Lewis County, N. T., November 11, 1827. His 
 father died when he was six years old, and at the age of 10 years he was compelled to care for 
 himself and earn his support. His mother, having only good common sense advice to give 
 him, counseled him to get an education. He obtained a fair common school education at the 
 Denmark and Lowville academies and CKntou Liberal Institute. In 1847 he commenced the 
 study of medicine and surgery in the office of Dr. Amasa Trowbridge, at Watertown, and after 
 a year and a half he attended his iirst course of lectures at Pittsfield (Mass.) Medical College. 
 On his return from Pittsfield he obtained a situation in the drug department at the State 
 Asylum, Utica, which claimed his attention about one hour morning, noon, and night, the 
 compensation being board and 812 a month. The balance of his time he had for study and 
 reading from a fine literary and medical library belonging to the asylum. From this institu- 
 tion he went to his last course of lectures at Castleton (Vt.) Medical College, where he gradu- 
 ated in June, 1851. Soon after he opened an office in Rome, N. Y., and in the spring of 1854 
 lie removed to Deer River, N. Y. In 1860 he went abroad, spending some time in the hospi- 
 tals of London, Edinburgh, and Paris, and in the summer of 1862 he was assistant surgeon 
 with Dr. William Trowbridge in examining the 2,500 men enlisted and mustered into the ser- 
 vice at Sackets Harbor, N. Y. Soon after he went to the front with 1,500 of these men, and 
 was commissioned surgeon of the 153d N. Y. V. August 25, 1862' He served with the regiment 
 until February 18, 1864, when he resigned and resumed practice at Deer River. March 1, 1868, 
 he removed to Carthage, and in 1872 was nominated for member of Assembly for the second 
 district of Jefferson County, and was elected. In 1873 he went to Lowville, where he has since 
 practiced his profession. He was another of the original founders of the County Medical 
 Society, was its first vice-president, and-was one of the delegates, to the State Medical Society.

 large, have lost in the death of Dr. Parmelee the fellowship of a Christian gentleman, and on& 
 of its most liberal members; and it is further 
 
 " liesolved, That the sympathies of the society are offered, not only to its individual mem- 
 bers, but to the public in general, by whom he was so highly esteemed as a Christian and a 
 gentleman, and that, above all, the heart-felt sympathies of this society are extended and es-

 The author deems it necessary, in justice to himself, to append some ex- 
 planatory remarks in regard to the plan of his work. It has been my aim, 
 and one of the main inducements that prompted me to engage in this work, 
 to rescue from the oblivion that was about to surround them the members of 
 the medical profession practicing in this county at an early day, belonging to 
 the regular school, and especially those who, by their action in joining the 
 old County Medical Society, manifested their interest in their flrork, and their 
 desire to elevate the standard of their profession. The reorganized society's 
 members are nearly all alive, and, before the public, can, as individuals and 
 collectively as a society, by their conduct and their work, speak for them- 
 selves. I have merely noted the time and place of their meeting, the number 
 present, and enough of their transactions to show when and why the time of 
 said meetings were changed ; the names of the new members, and their places 
 of residence at the time they were enrolled ; resolutions of respect in cases 
 of deceased members, and a short sketch of the officers of the society for 
 each year. Thus I have shortened my task, and left a foundation on which 
 others with more time and space can build. If any have been omitted it was 
 not intentional, nor for want of zeal. This work, to be complete and 
 accurate, should have years instead of months devoted to its preparation. 
 I have been obliged from the limited space allowed me, for the large amount 
 of work to be accomplished, to curtail my original plan as carried out in 
 relation to the old society, and instead of giving a sketch of each member, to 
 give sketches only of the officers of the society. By this plan, and much to 
 my regret, I am obliged to leave out individual notices of many personal and 
 highly esteemed friends, and many other very worthy members of the profes- 
 sion. By request of the publisher an appendix has been added containing 
 sketches of the physicians of the city of Watertown, who, from not having 
 been officers of the society, were left out of the main body of the work. The 
 publisher thought that the book would require about 8oo pages with about 
 
 14'* 
 
2o8° JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 lo devoted to the medical profession. Instead the work has grown until it 
 requires about 1,250 pages to complete it and the medical department four or 
 five times the original estimate. The number of physicians who have and 
 are now practicing in the county were so much in excess of all our calcula- 
 tions that a longer time and more space were required than was at first 
 thought necessary, in order that I might do myself and the profession justice. 
 All the members of the old society are dead with the exception of Drs. 
 William E. Tyler, of Sackets Harbor, and M. J. Hutchins, of Redwood.

 society: —

 Jefferson County Literary and Religious Institute, studied medicine with Dr. 
 H. G. P. Spencer, and attended lectures at Jefferson Medical College, Phil- 
 adelphia, sessions of 1856, '57, '58, and 59. He first settled in Hamilton, 
 Madison County, N. Y., in September, 1859. His health faiUng it was 
 thought a change would benefit him, and he moved to Champion, Jefferson 
 County, the following May, and in July, 1 861, he returned to Madison County

 consented to take charge of them, and finally concluded to remain permanently. 
 In September, 1862, he went to the front as assistant surgeon of the iS7th 
 Regt. N. Y. Vol. Inf., raised in Cortland and Madison counties. When 
 the army advanced that fall on Thoroughfare Gap he was placed in charge 
 of one of the reserve hospitals at Fairfax Court House. Here he remained 
 until March, when, his health having failed, he was ordered to Washingtgn, 
 where he was ordered to report to Dr. Climer, in charge of sick and disabled 
 officers, and by him was sent home on sick leave. He remained at home 
 two months and rejoined his regiment at Aquia Creek, below Washington, 
 on the eve of the march for Chancellorsville. Here with his wounded he was 
 made a prisoner, remaining with them on the field for three weeks, when, an 
 exchange being effected, he returned to his regiment. His health having 
 been affected by the anxiety and exposure he had endured he was sent home 
 on sick leave. After a short time, learning that the army was about to move, 
 he rejoined his regiment, and with them participated in the march to and the 
 battle at Gettysburg. Having, by order of the medical director, been de- 
 tailed both at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg as an operating surgeon he was 
 detained here in charge of the sick and as recording officer of the i rth Corps 
 Hospital for about a month, when he was ordered to report to Gen. Hallack 
 at Washington. He found his regiment had been ordered to Charleston, S. C. 
 Reserved in this department until February, 1864, when he was promoted to 
 the rank of surgeon and sent to the 128th Regt. N. Y. Vol. Inf., in Gen. 
 Sherman's command at Savannah. Dr. Crawe served with his regiment as 
 medical inspector and brigade surgeon until August, 1865, when they were 
 mustered out of the sercice at Albany, N. Y. 
 
 He was one of the founders of the reorganized Jeff"erson County Medical 
 Society; was elected in 1868 and served as censor from its organization to 
 1872 and from 1880 to 1886; was treasurer in 1873, vice-president in 1874, 
 president in 1885, and was delegate to the State Medical Society from 1886 
 to 1880. Dr. Crawe was made permanent member of the State Medical 
 Society in 1879, and was one of its delegates to the American Medical Asso- 
 ciation in 1878, of which he was made a member. In 1884, becoming dis- 
 gusted and dissatisfied with the action of the State Society in regard to its- 
 Code of Ethics, he, with Dr. C. M. Johnson, of Watertown, then delegate 
 from Jefferson County, and Dr. Ira H. Abell, of Antwerp, ex-delegate, in 
 connection with many others, withdrew from the State Society and founded 
 the New York State Medical Association. Dr. Crawe was its first vice-pres- 
 ident. He was appointed pension surgeon about 1869, served some years, 
 and resigned. When boards for the examination of pensioners were formed^ 
 in 1881, he was solicited, and accepted an appointment on the board for 
 Jefferson County, and was its president for four years. He still continues in 
 active practice in partnership with his son. Dr. J. M. Crawe, Jr. 
 
 N. 0. BemxB, M. D., a native of Massachusetts and a graduate of Berkshire Medical Col-

 aged 63 years. His death was caused by his horse running away, throwing him out of his 
 carriage. He lived only a few days after the accident. Dr. Bemie became a member of the 
 County Medical Society June 3, 1S73, and was elected censor in 1875. , 
 
 J. H. Miller was born iu the town of Hammond, St. Lawrence County, N. Y., February 12 
 1830 or '35. He was educated at the common and High schools of Theresa, and for some 
 years he was a teacher. He studied medicine with the elder Dr. Davison, attended lectures at 
 Geneva, N. Y., and Castleton, Vt., and was a graduate of the latter institution. Dr. Miller 
 practiced at Hermon, St. Lawrence County, and Chaumont, Champion, and Carthage in Jef- 
 ferson County. He became a member of the County Medical Society June 4, 1872, and was 
 censor in 1875. ■ He now resides at Glendora, Cal, 
 
 William P. Massey was born near Watertown, September 23, 1824. His younger days were 
 occupied with his studies and his duties as a clerk to his uncle. Dr. James K. Bates, who car- 
 ried on a drug store and was postmaster at Brownville from 1840 to 1848, and he was his chief 
 clerk most of that time. His character was the result of hard study and close apphcation at 
 the select schools of Brownville, and as a student of the Black Eiver Literary and Religious 
 Institute of Watertown. During the winter of 1843-44 he taught school near Cape Vincent. 
 He then regularly commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Bates, attended lectures at the 
 "University of New York during the sessions 1846-47 and 1847-48, and graduated in 1848. Ee- 
 turning to Brownville he was taken into partnership by Dr. Bates. In a short time Dr. Bates 
 decided to move to Watertown, and Dr. Massey bought his business and property. He suc- 
 ceeded beyond his expectations in building up a large practice, and in gaining to the utter- 
 most the confidence, respect, and esteem of the community in which he lived. In August 
 1855, while returning from Perch Eiver, he was thrown from his carriage. When found he 
 was lying in the road unconscious, his shoulder broken, his spine injured, and his limbs 
 paralyzed. This so disabled him that he could not attend to his business until the next 
 November, and then he had not f uUy recovered, as any overexertion or anxiety would pros- 
 trate him, and on three or four occasions these attacks were of so grave a nature that his lite 
 was considered in great danger. This accident, by prostrating his nervous system, greatly 
 interfered with his usefulness by limiting his powers of endurance, and was the main factor 
 in shortening his life. He was naturally an energetic, ambitious man, and in spite of the 
 incubus of his bodily ills he led an active Ufe. The winter of 1860-61, with a view of increas- 
 ing his medical knowledge, and to acquaint himself with all the new discoveries and additions 
 to medical science, he spent in New York attending the lectures and visiting the various hos- 
 pitals of that city. Coming home he again entered actively the ranks of the profession. In 
 1881 he received the appointment of examining surgeon for pensions, and with Dra. C. M. 
 Johnson and J. Mortimer Crawe constituted the board of pension surgeons for Jefferson 
 County, of which he was the treasurer. Dr. Massey was ever conscientious, painstaking, and 
 courteous. In him the government found a good, faithful servant, and the pensioner a kind, 
 sympathizing friend. May 22, 1885, he died while dressing the foot of a patient who had just 
 been injured. He gave a groan, fell over, and lived only a few moments. Thus peacefully 
 passed away the good physician, 'the kind friend; for in him was combined all that goes to 
 make up the character of the good citizen and a Christian gentleman. 
 
 WilUam T. Burdick, M. D., son of Dr. Charles W. Burdiok, is a graduate of Syracuse Uni- 
 versity, class of 1875. He came to Watertown and entered into partnership with his father, 
 remaining two or three years, when he went to Pamelia Pour Corners, and practiced there a 
 few years and moved to PuUerviUe, Lewis County, Ky., where he now resides. He became a 
 member of the County Medical Society April 6, 1875, and was elected secretary and served 
 from 1877 to 1888. 
 
 S. L. Parmelee, M. D., was born at Stockholm, N. Y., February 21, 1829. He was educated 
 at the schools of Jericho, Vt., until he was 18, when he went to Coburg, Ontario, and taught 
 school three years. He began the study of his profession in 1850 with Dr. Baxter, of High- 
 gate, Vt., and also with Dr. Day, of St. Albans Bay, Vt. He attended lectures in the winter 
 of 1851-52 at Castleton, Vt., and was two years at Woodstock, Vt., graduating from thelatter 
 place in 1853. Dr. Parmelee settled at Gouverneur, St. Lawrence County, where he practiced 
 23 years, and in 1876 moved to Watertown, where he practiced until his death, April 17, 1881, 
 aged 52 years. His sudden death was a shook and surprise to the community, and he was 
 mourned by a large number of friends and patients, to whom he had endeared himself hy bit

 wards he entered into business on his own account. Previous to going there he had been in 
 Utioa and New York. Upon the death of his brother Amasa, Jr., he came back to his native 
 place and began the study of medicine with his father. He attended lectures at Willoughby 
 TJniversity, Ohio, and received his diploma from that institution in 1846. Eeturning home he 
 ■entered into partnership with his father, and since then he has ranked as one of the most 
 active, conscientious, and skillful physicians and surgeons in this county. In 1862 he was 
 appointed by Governor Morgan surgeon of the 18th District Eegt., afterwards tbe 10th Heavy 
 Artilleiy. In the same year he resigned and returned to his practice. Dr. Trowbridge was 
 made a member of the old Jefferson County Medical Society in 1846, was its last secretary, nnd 
 "was one of the founders of the reorganized County Medical Society in 1868, and was its first 
 treasurer, in which capacity he faithfully served the society until 1872. In 1868 and 1878, and 
 from 1881 to 1885, he was elected censor. He also was one of the founders of the City Medical 
 Society, and was its iirst president, to which office he was elected April 2, 1878. He was ap- 
 pointed pension examiner in June, 1885, to fill a vacancy in the board of pension examiners 
 for Jefferson County caused by the death of Dr. William P. Massey. Dr. Trowbridge died 
 August 19, 1886, aged 70 years. He was a gentleman of the old school, cordial, genial, and 
 polite, a skillful and easy operator, careful to a fault, never undertaking an operation until he 
 was satisfied that he understood the case, and believed it could be carried to a successful ter- 
 mination.

 John Grafton, a native of England, came to Quebec, Canada, where he had the misfortune 
 to lose nearly all he possessed by fire. He then went to Montreal, where he remained some 
 time, and then moved to Brownville, N. Y., where he boarded with Daniel Chase. Here he 
 practiced medicine some few years, and, after traveling through the West, settled at Janes-

 attending nearly all its meetings and contributing much valuable information derived from 
 his extensive reading, deep study, and great clinical experience. He was a man of strong 
 likes and dislikes, manifesting them without fear or favor. As a physician he was quick to 
 form his diagnosis, and firm, prompt, and energetic in carrying it out. He built up a large 
 practice, and his name and reputation were well and favorably known in this and adjoining

GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 
 
 ADAMS. 
 
 ADAMS is situated in the southern part of the county, and is bounded 
 on the north by Hounsfield and Watertown, east by Rodman, south 
 by Lorraine and EUisburgh, and west by Henderson. It is watered 
 by the north branch of Sandy Creek and many tributary brooks in the south, 
 and by Stony Creek, with numerous small branches, in the northern part. 
 Both streams are fed by springs and afford permanent water-power, which 
 has been utilized. The surface of the town is generally level, except in the 
 northwestern part, which is somewhat broken by the lake ridge which here 
 traverses the town. The territory was originally timbered with maple, beech, 
 birch, elm, and butternut, a considerable area of which yet remains. Cedar 
 and pine also prevailed, and contributed largely to the early wealth of the 
 town. The soil is generally fertile — a black mold, sandy loam, or a loam 
 somewhat mixed with clay, underlaid by limestone, with outcroppings of this 
 rock on high ground. There is very little waste land in the town, a portion 
 of the most elevated being susceptible of cultivation. That which seems 
 most sterile affords excellent grazing. 
 
 This town was formed from Mexico, April i, 1802. It received its name 
 in honor of President John Adams, and included No. 7, or Aleppo, and No. 
 8, or Orpheus, of the "Eleven Towns," or the "Black River Tract." This 
 area was maintained until No. 8 became a separate town, with the name of 
 Rodman, March 24, 1804. 
 
 Adams, or No. 7, fell to the lot of Nicholas Low, in the subdivision of the 
 eleven towns, by ballot, and was surveyed by Benjamin Wright in 1796, into 
 fifty-six lots, numbered from west to east and from north to south, commenc- 
 ing near Henderson Bay and extending on the line of Lorraine. Mr. Wright 
 complained of local attractions, that rendered it impossible to run straight 
 lines. The lots varied in contents from 240 acres to 676 acres, and the 
 whole made an aggregate of 26,505 acres. The town is nearly square, its 
 sides measuring about six miles from east to west, and not quite seven from

 north to south. This tract of land had been mortgaged to WiUiam Constable, 
 June 15, 1796, by Henderson, Low, Harrison, and Hoffman. It was assigned 
 to the Bank of New York, but Low succeeded in getting a release, June 16, 
 1804. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the house of Eliphalet Edmonds, March 
 I, 1803, when the following officers were chosen : Nicholas Salisbury, super- 
 visor ; Phineas Keith, clerk ; D'Estaing Salisbury, John W. Smith, David 
 Grommon, Jr., Thomas White, assessors; Isaac Biker, collector; Thomas 
 White, David Comstock, overseers of the poor; Paul Stickney, Jacob Kel- 
 logg, Simeon Hunt, commissioners of highways; Isaac Biker and Anson 
 Moody, constables ; Daniel Comstock, David Smith, George H. Thomas, 
 George Cooper, fence viewers ; Jacob Kellogg, Benjamin Thomas, pound 
 keepers ; Abraham Ripley, James Perry, Enan Salisbury, John Cowles, Con- 
 sider Law, Solomon Robbins, Hezekiah Tiffany, Thomas White, Daniel 
 Mansfield, Asa Davis, Squire Read, Abel Palmer, overseers of highways; 
 David Comstock, Simeon Hunt, deer reeves. 
 
 At a special town meeting, held November 10, 1803, a remonstrance was 
 voted against taking three rans;es of lots from the north side of the town to 
 annex to the contemplated town of Newport ; also to agree to the division 
 of the town on the line between towns Nos. 7 and 8. Wolf bounties of $5 
 were offered in 1803 ; of $10 from 1804 to 1815 ; and of $15 in 181 5. 
 
 In 1880 Adams had a population of 3,302. The town is located in the 
 first school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 14 school districts, 
 in which 19 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. The whole number 
 of scholars attending school was 682, while the aggregate days attendance 
 during the year was 68,234. The total value of school buildings and sites 
 was $13,690, and the assessed valuation of all the districts was $1,870,305. 
 The whole amount raised during the year for school purposes was $6,817.30, 
 $4,352.94 of which was received by local tax. S. Whitford Maxson was 
 school commissioner. 
 
 Adams is a large and thriving post village located on the north branch of 
 Sandy Creek, and is a station on the R., W. & O. R. R. 13 miles from 
 Watertown, 169 miles from Albany, and 311 miles from New York. It con- 
 tains two national banks, is the seat of Adams Collegiate Institute, has four 
 churches (Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, and Episcopal), two hotels, a 
 weekly newspaper, express, telegraph, and telephone accommodations, and 
 the requisite number of shops and stores necessary to supply its 1,500 inhab- 
 itants and the surrounding country. A daily stage runs to Belleville, Hen- 
 derson, and Worth. The village was incorporated under the general act, by 
 the Court of Sessions, November ir, 1851, and confirmed by a vote of 79 
 to 51 on the 19th of December of the same year. The village plat includes 
 812 acres. In 1823 an unsuccessful attempt had been made to obtain 
 an act of incorporation, the notice of application being signed by Elihu 
 Morton, David Smith, Benjamin Wright, and John Burch. The first trustees 
 
TOWN OF ADAMS. 
 
 -of the village were John H. Whipple, Samuel Bond, Calvin Skinner, Calvin 
 R. Totman, and Wells Benton. May 27, 1852, the village was divided into 
 five wards, and a code of by-laws adopted. The Rural Cemetery Associa- 
 tion was formed January ty, 1848, of 33 citizens, who Itid out a neat and 
 -quiet lot for the purpose in the eastern part of the village. Maple Wood 
 Cemetery, in the northwestern part of the village, is one of the finest rural 
 ■cemeteries in the county. A fire company was formed in Adams about 
 1836, and a small crank engine purchased by voluntary subscriptions. Since 
 its organization the village has made ample provision for protection against 
 the destructive element. April 23. 1852, an appropriation of $650 was voted 
 to purchase a fire engine and its necessary apparatus. May 24, 1853, the 
 "'"Tempest Fire Company "was formed with 44 men. The new waterworks 
 •have added largely to the protection against fire. 
 
 Smithville is a post village on Stony Creek, on the west line of the town, 
 lying partly in the town of Henderson. It is 12 miles from Watertown, five 
 miles from Adams Center, five from Sackets Harbor, and six from Hender- 
 son Harbor. It has telegraph, telephone, and express accommodations, and 
 a stage line to Sackets Harbor. It has one church (Baptist), two stores, two 
 truss factories, a grist and saw-mill, two blacksmith shops, a cheese factory, 
 and about 200 inhabitants. It was named in honor of Jesse Smith, one of 
 the early settlers and a prominent business man. Settlement was begun here 
 in 1804 by Daniel Hardy, who kept the first hotel here. Brooks Harring- 
 ton was the first postmaster. 
 
 Adams Center is a very pleasant post village of about 500 inhabitants, 
 located about three and a half miles north of Adams village. It contains 
 three churches (Baptist, Seventh-Day Biptist, and Seventh-Day Advents), a 
 grocery store, boot and shoe store, drug store, hardware store, four general 
 ^stores, a clothing store, two hotels, three blacksmith shops, three millinery 
 shops, a grist-mill, sash and blind factory, a manufacturer of handy package 
 •dyes, two livery stables, a dealer in sewing machines and musical instruments, 
 a lawyer, two physicians, a printing office, and a furniture dealer and under- 
 taker. Settlement in this locality was first made in 18 r6, by Luman and 
 Hiram Arms, on a farm just north of the village site. The first house where 
 the village stands was built by a man named Priest, who sold out to Luman 
 Arms before it was entirely completed. Jonathan Davis built the first store 
 about 1830. 
 
 Adams Collegiate Institute was incorporated by the Regents, April 22, 
 1855, but not luUy organized when a proposition was received from General 
 Solon D. Hungerford, of Adams, for a substantial endowment. The name 
 was changed to " Hungerford Collegiate Institute," March 24, 1864. Under 
 this name an academic school was opened in the S. J. Mendell building, — 
 known as the " Bisswood Hotel," located near the sulphur springs and a isfi 
 rods east of the present railroad depot, — with Rev. J. Dunbar Houghton as 
 principal. About this time a very valuable mineralogical cabinet was pre- 
 
TOWN OF ADAMS. 
 
 sented to the institute by Mr. J. G. Webb, which was nearly destroyed by 
 the burning of the school building some years later. During the second 
 year Prof. David Holbrook, a former tutor of Hamilton College, became as- 
 sociated with Prof. Houghton as vice-principal. During the administratioty 
 of Prof. Houghton the school was noted for its thorough scholarship and ex- 
 cellent discipline. Col. E. S. Salisbury and others maintained military drill,, 
 materially aiding in the discipline of the school. January 29, 1868, the 
 building was consumed by fire, and about $13,400 was paid by the insurance 
 companies to the trustees. February 3, five days after the fire, a meeting of 
 the trustees was held, when it was resolved to erect another building imme-

 diately. At this meeting the question of a change of site was introduced,, 
 and the site upon which the building now stands was selected. Gen. S. D. 
 Hungerford donated the new site, and also made a very liberal cash dona- 
 tion. The trustees had at their disposal about $16,000, and they were au- 
 thorized to expend $20,000 in the erection of a suitable building for an acad- 
 emy and boarding hall, that should accommodate at least as many students- 
 as the former building. About June i work on the new building was begun. 
 The plans were by Prof. J. D. Houghton and Mr. White, of Syracuse. The 
 mason work was under the direction of Asa Lyons, of Adams. The carpen- 
 ter work was done by William H. Wheeler, with David Gaylord as architect 
 in charge. Both these latter gentlemen were of Adams. The building is of 
 brick, 97 by 129 feet, four stories high, and is heated by steam and thor- 
 oughly ventilated. The building was completed in August, 1870, and on the 
 28th of that month school was opened with the following corps of teachers :. 
 
TOWN OF ADAMS. 
 
 213 
 
 Albert B. Watkins, A. M., principal; Orlo B. Rhodes, A. M., vice-principal; 
 Mrs. H. N. Butterworth, preceptress; Mrs. L. B. Woodward, teacher com- 
 •mon English; Miss L. Chatfield, oil painting and drawing ; Mr. W. H. H. 
 Taylor, natural sciences and commercial ; Mr. Gustave Gunther, music ; 
 Mrs. H. B. Watkins, Spanish and English. There are six courses of study : 
 I, classical; 2, English; 3, college preparatory ; 4, scientific or engineering ; 
 5, commercial ; 6, music. There are two literary societies connected with 
 the school — Calisophian a,ndi Nousas-Kean. The library contains about 650 
 carefully selected volumes. The chemical and philosophical apparatus is 
 full and complete, and there is also a first-class mineralogical cabinet, mainly 
 the gift of WiUiam Rosa, M. D., of Watertown, and J. G. Webb. 
 
 The building will accommodate sixty boarders and 200 day pupils. The 
 school had its home in this building from 1870 to 1882, when the same was 
 sold for debt, and the school was removed to a block in the business part of 
 the village. The name " Adams Collegiate Institute " was restored by the 
 Regents, November 16, 1883. August 28, 1884, the block in which the 
 school was held was burned. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Dwight, of Adams, in co- 
 •operation with the trustees and citizens, purchased the Hungerford Collegiate 
 building, $6,500, the insurance' from the building burned, being applied 
 toward the payment of the same. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight have conveyed this 
 building by lease, subject to certain conditions, to the present board of trus- 
 tees, one of the provisions of the present charter being that no person or 
 persons shall have the power to encumber the institution with a debt of more 
 than $100. This makes it impossible to again put out its light with the snuffles 
 of the law. Since 1882 the institute has been under the management of 
 Principal Orlo B. Rhodes, A. M., an alumnus of Brown University, a fine 
 scholar and a cultured gentleman. During the years 1884-85 119 students 
 were in attendance. The grade of scholarship is high, and the faculty com- 
 petent and faithful. The following corps of teachers constitute the faculty of 
 the institution: Orlo B. Rhodes, A. M., principal, Latin, Greek, English Htera- 
 ture; Mrs. A. H. Coughlan, preceptress, French and mathematics ; Mrs. L. B. 
 Woodward, English department; Prof Herm Haydn, music; Lincoln 
 B. Irvin, commercial, chemistry, and physics ; Mrs. W. D. Arms, painting 
 and drawing; Miss Clara M. Cooper, elocution; Prof. R. S. Bosworth, lec- 
 turer on natural science. 
 
 Students who complete the college preparatory course are admitted on the 
 certificate of the principal to Hamilton, Wihiams, Dartmouth, Hobart, and 
 Vassar colleges, and the universities of Madison, Rochester, and Vermont. 
 The institute has cost the community, of which Adams is the center, more 
 than $80,000. The situation of the building is commanding ; the prospect 
 from its windows is wide and beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight have in their 
 generosity offered the building to the Presbyterian denomination of Adams, 
 free from debt, upon the condition of their giving it a perpetual endowment, 
 the same to be used for school purposes forever. The citizens again contrib-

 uted to the repairs and the building was entirely refurnished at an expense of 
 $5 ooo. The ladies of the town assumed the debt of $800 to put the chapel 
 in repair. 
 
 The Farmers National Bank, of Adams village, successor to the Adams 
 National Bank, was organized May 29, 1889, with a capital of $65,000. The 
 officeis are: C. D. Potter, president; I. P. Wodell, vice-president; and 
 G. W. Hannahs, cashier. The Adams National Bank was organized January 
 2, 1883, with a capital of $50,000. W. A. Waite was president and G. W". 
 Hannahs, cashier. 
 
 The Citizens National Batik of Adams was organized August 7, 1889, 
 under the " National Bank Act," with a paid in capital of $50,000, and with 
 the following directors : George Mather, Abel Bickford, Joshua W. Over- 
 ton, Newton M. Wardwell, Lafayette Caulkins, William Mather, Talcott H.. 
 Camp, Willis A. Waite, Lucy J. Bullock, Anson S. Thompson, Charles A> 
 Eastman, De Alton Rich, William H. Hathway. The officers are: George 
 Mather, president; Lafayette Caulkins, vice-president; William H. Hath- 
 way, cashier. The bank was opened for business September 9, 1889. 
 
 Elmwood Cemetery is governed by an association bearing its name, formecJ 
 in 1867, with James M. Cleveland as president and superintendent, who has 
 had entire charge and control until the present time. The association was 
 reorganized April 26, 1876, with the following board of trustees: B. Ran- 
 dall, A. Maxon, W. M. Johnson, R. P. White, W. E. Overton, G. W. Will- 
 iams, N. Vickery, S. D. Hungerford, J. M. Cleveland, W. A. Gilbert, H. 
 Green, G. W. Bond. The cemetery contains about 20 acres of ground finely 
 laid out and kept with conscientious care and taste. The title is perfect and 
 the association is entirely free of debt. It contains two miles of beautiful 
 drives, shaded by trees, through a little valley lymg between two ridges of 
 land. In natural and acquired beauty it is a gem, and by common consent 
 is regarded as the finest rural cemetery in Northern New York. It is ap- 
 proached by Elmwood avenue, a third of a mile in length, shaded by rows of 
 stately elms set by Mr. Cleveland personally. They now form a beautiful 
 and complete arch over the entire avenue. The cemetery is entered through' 
 a handsome gateway. At the left as you enter is a fine Doric chapel and 
 receiving vault, with excellent pieces of statuary presented by Mr. Cleveland. 
 Passing along over a rustic bridge that spans a clear, winding brook you come 
 to the family lot of Mr. Cleveland, in the center of the cemetery, where his 
 ancestors as far back as 1722 are buried, representing five generations. Some 
 of these remams were sought out at great expense from obscure places in. 
 New England. This lot is adorned by a very fine monument surmounted by 
 a life size figure of Memory, beautifully wrought in the attitude of casting a 
 wreath of flowers upon the graves below. From this point ail the beauties of 
 Elmwood may be seen at a glance. .Lots carefully laid out and made beau- 
 tiful with fine monuments in memory of the beloved dead fill the valley and 
 cover the ridges. Space forbids special descriptions, but the eye is satisfied

 with seeing, and tine better sentiments of the heart are gratified with the good 
 taste and spirit everywhere displayed in this charming little city of the dead. 
 Here, if anywhere, one is reminded of the beauty of life and the blessedness 
 of death. To have so fair a home to sleep in for ages steals away unawares 
 the fears of dissolution, and makes one " half in love with easeful death." 
 The charming drives, the green grass, the shrubbery, the fragrant flowers, the 
 bursting buds on hundreds of trees, the gleaming monuments, the air vocal 
 with the songs of birds and the babbUng of the brook, — all combine to make 
 one say, " How lovely is this place !" Elmwood is the just pride of Adams, 
 and the pet child of Mr. Cleveland's heart. Everywhere its beauty is his 
 handiwork, its charm the product of his skill and faultless taste. It has been 
 his care by day and his dream by night to beautify and adorn it. It repre- 
 sents 20 years of almost constant labor and superintendence, and a per- 
 sonal expenditure of $ro,ooo. What has been the patient, unremitting care 
 of his life is still the pride and pleasure of his old age, and the results are 
 more than an adequate compensation in the assured prospect that Elmwood 
 Cemetery will be to Adams, not only a thing of beauty and a source of joy for 
 the present, but " a possession forever." It will be a monument to his devo- 
 tion more enduring than the stately shaft which adorns the graves of his an- 
 cestors. 
 
 Adams Water Works was organized as a stock company by Muffett, 
 Hodgkins & Clarke, now of Syracuse, in 1885, and were built the same year. 
 They are located on the north side of Spring street, have a 30-horse-power 
 engine, with an H. R. Worthington high- pressure pump — capacity 400 to 
 600 gallons per minute. The water-tower on Doxtater hill is 15 feet in diam- 
 eter and 40 feet high. Height of water above Main street, 120 feet. The 
 main pipes are of cast iron, six and eight inches, and will stand a pressure of 
 300 pounds to the inch. The village of Adams pays $1,000 yearly for fire 
 purposes. Isaac W. Payne is superintendent. 
 
 The Adams Electric Light and Power Company {Limited) was organized 
 March 28, 1889, with D. A. Dwight, president ; C. H. Wardwell, vice-presi- 
 dent; W. H. Gillman, managing director; Dr. W. H. Nickelson, secretary; 
 and W. J. Allen, treasurer. 
 
 Maple Grove Place and Stock Farm, located in the southerly part of 
 Adams village, on Grove street, was established by the present proprietor, 
 R. P. White, in 1859. Among the most celebrated horses raised and owned 
 by him the following are particularly worthy of mention : " Capt. Emons," 
 witharecord of 2:19!, sold for $5,500; " Wizz," 2:23^; "Buzz," 2:28; 
 " Rufus," 2:29 ; ''Venus," 2:31, who sold for $3,500; four mares — "Floss," 
 "Silk," "Satin," and "Velvet," three of whom were valued at more than 
 $6,000. " Whitewood," raised by Mr. White, when less than three years old 
 trotted a mile in 2:24. Mr. White is one of the most noted horsemen in the 
 state.

 Adams flouring mill was built by Willard Smith, on the site of the old 
 David Smith mill, about 1825. In i860 it was purchased by George Frasier, 
 and in the spring of 1863 S. H. Pitcher became half owner. In 1879 Mr. 
 Pitcher became sole proprietor. The mill has four runs of stones and grinds 
 60,000 bushels of grain annually. 
 
 O. De Grasse Gree?te's sash, door, and blind matiufactory is located at 
 Adams Center, and is run by water-power furnished by springs situated within 
 100 rods of his mills, which give an adequate and unfailing power. Mr. 
 Greene manufactures doors, sash, bUnds, and house builders' materials, and 
 does all kinds of custom planing and matching, furnishing employment to 
 from two to 20 men. 
 
 F. L. Webster's canning factory, in Adams village, on Railroad street, was 
 established in July, 1889, and has a capacity of turning out 250,000 cans of 
 goods annually. Mr. Webster makes a specialty of canning dandelion and 
 spinach, and employs 60 hands. 
 
 The Adams foundry and machine shop was first started in 1863 or 1864 by 
 T. P. Saunders and D. O. Holman. After several changes in proprietorship 
 the property, in 1881, passed into the possession of the first named gentle- 
 man, who has since been its sole proprietor. The machine shop is 72 by 24 
 feet in size and the foundry 72 by 32. Mr. Saunders employs about five 
 hands in general job and repair work. 
 
 The Adams Lumber Company. — Mills were established by Julius Fox 
 about i860 for dressing lumber and manufacturing doors, blinds, moldings, 
 and builders' supplies. In 1864 the works were purchased by William H. 
 Wiieeler, who subsequently (in 1865 or 1866) bought the old woolen factory 
 by the bridge and converted the building into an addition to his works. Mr. 
 Wiieeler continued the business until April, 1889, when it was purchased by 
 W. H. Proctor, of Ogdensburg, who immediately formed the Adams Lumber 
 Company, with W. H. Proctor, J. G. Idler, Thomas F. Strong, and George 
 L. Ryan, of Ogdensburg, and J. A. Cameron and W. L. Pratt, of Adams, as 
 partners. The company manufactures and deals at wholesale and retail in 
 lumber, and as contractors are prepared to erect buildings of any kind. The 
 works are located on Factory street, Adams village. 
 
 Adams Furniture and Manufacturing Company {Limited) was organized 
 September 22, 1888; capital, $20,000. D. A. Dwight is president; A. W. 
 Ingraham, vice-president ; John St. Clair, secretary ; G. W. Hannahs, treas- 
 urer • Edwin Gregory, superintendent ; and Dr. A. K. Hale and Harrison 
 Fuller, with the officers of the company, trustees. The company occupies 
 buildings 50 by 100 feet, three stories high, and 50 by 100 feet, two stories. 
 In their engine room, 20 by 30 feet, is an 80-horse power engine. They 
 have a dry kiln 17 by 44 feet.

 James H. Moultons grist-mill, on Stony Creek, was built by Hiram Cook 
 about 1807. Mr. James Moulton, Sr., bought the mill about 1835, and it is 
 now run by J. H. Moulton. It has three runs of stones. 
 
 Sneir s grist and feed-mill, at Adams Center, was built by W. D. & M. D. 
 Snell in 1884. It is operated by steam. 
 
 Muzzy cheese factory, two miles south of Smithville, was established by 
 F. M. & J. B. Muzzy in 1864. It has a patronage of 250 cows. 
 
 W. A. &= E. J. Waite's malting establishment was started by Rufus P. 
 Whito, and was purchased by the present proprietors in 1876. It has a 
 -capacity of 40,000 bushels of malt aimually. 
 
 Although in the fall of 1799 many parties were looking for lands in the 
 vicinity of Adams, yet no settlement was made until April 16, t8oo, when 
 Nicholas Salisbury, from Western New York, found his way into town through 
 iLowville, by a tedious journey of 26 days, bringing with him an ox team and 
 -sled, his family and goods, fording the streams with great peril, and camping 
 at night wherever necessity compelled them. Samuel and David Fox and 
 Solonnon Smith and son accompanied as hired men. John Smith, Francis 
 McKee, Consider Law, David Smith, Peter Doxtater, and others, several 
 ■with families, came into town and began small clearings, mostly in the valley 
 •of Sandy Creek. The terms of purchase were $3 per acre, and an obliga- 
 tion to clear two acres and build a house within a certain time. In the spring 
 -of 1800 David Smith came in, taking up 500 acres of land including the site 
 of the present village, where he built and operated a saw-mill. The same 
 ■season witnessed the arrival of numerous settlers, mostly from Oneida County. 
 Those on foot came by way of Redfield, but this route was then impassable 
 for teams. The first acre of clearing was cut in May and June, iSoo, by 
 Samuel Fox,* three miles above the village. In 1801 or 1802 David Smith 
 got in operation a very small grist-mill that superseded the stump mortars of 
 the first season, and relieved the settlers from the long and tedious journeys 
 to Coffeen's mill in Rutland, or voyages in open boats from the mouth of 
 ;Sandy Creek to Kingston. In i8or Jacob Kellogg, John Cole, and many 
 •others moved in, and in the second or third following years a flood of immi- 
 gration soon filled up the town, which everywhere presented small patches of 
 •clearing, rude huts, blind paths through the forest, destined to become roads, 
 and from every side echoed the woodman's axe, that gradually prepared the 
 way for cultivation. 
 
 The first deeds of land to actual settlers were given August 20, 1802, to 
 •George Houseman, Peter Doxtater, Francis McKee, Robert Myrick, and 
 David Smith. The first death in town was that of Alexander Salisbury, who 
 
 * Mr. Fox, with his wife, remained upon this farm about 50 years and reared a family of 
 12 children.

 was drowned March 21, 1801, while attempting to cross the creek above the 
 dam in a scow. The first marriage is said to have been his widow to Daniel 
 Ellis, June 8, 1802. In 1803 schools were begun at Smith's Mills. The first 
 innkeeper in town was Abel Hart ; the first merchant Jesse Hale. Dr, 
 Green is said to have been the first physician to settle in town. 
 From Spafford's Gazetteer (18 12) we quote :— ^ 
 
 " On the N. branch of Sandy Creek in the S. part of this town is situated a flourishing- 
 village * * * by the name of Smiths Mills [now Adama village]. * * * Here are 2 
 saw-mills, 1 grist-mill, 1 fulling-mill, a small air-furnace, 2 distilleries for grain spirits, a card- 
 ing-machine, and a convenient variety of artificers, tradesmen, Ac. In the north part of the 
 town are 2 saw-mills, 1 grist-mill, and a distillery." 
 
 From the same author's Gazetteer of 1824 we learn that in 1821-23 the 
 village contained the postoffice, 45 dwellings, a church, school-house, several 
 stores, and about 400 inhabitants. There were then in the town three grist- 
 mills, five saw-mills, two fulling-mills, one carding machine, four distilleries,* 
 and 13 asheries. There were, according to the census of 1820, 2,3 14 cattle, 447 
 horses, 4,136 sheep, and there were woven, in families, 18,959 yards of cloth. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Presbyterian Church of Adams village was organized as the " First Con- 
 gregational Church of Adams," by Rev. Ebenezer Lazell, in July, 1804, with 
 the following six members : Joshua Beals, Jacob Kellogg, Abram Griswold, 
 David Comstock, Betsey Griswold, and Asenath Cooper. Religious meet- 
 ings had been held on the Sabbath, in 1801, at the house of Jacob Kellogg,. 
 and in 1802 the first sermon was preached by Mr. Woodward, a missionary. 
 From the time of the organization of the church until 1821 the church services- 
 were conducted according to the ordinances of the Congregational Church. 
 January 29, 1821, while the Rev. George W. Gale was pastor, the Presby- 
 terian form of government was adopted, and has prevailed ever since. The 
 membership increased gradually, and in i8ii, while Rev. Chauncy Cook was 
 pastor, at a meeting held September g, it was "voted that a meeting-house, 
 45 hy 55 feet, the body to be painted white and the roof red, be built the 
 ensuing season." Jacob Kellogg, Joseph Stirling, and Simeon VVhitcomb 
 were appointed to serve as a committee to superintend the building. This, 
 committee was inactive, however, and in 1814 Morris Homan, Joseph Stirling, 
 and Jacob Kellogg were appointed to superintend the building of a church 28 
 or 34 by 45 feet in size. It appears from the records that this building was 
 commenced after some delay, and left in an unfinished state. July 5, 18(7, 
 Joseph R. Rossiter, William Benton, and Elijah Wright were appointed a 
 
 * Whiskey in those days was believed by many to be a necessary adjunct to the success- 
 ful harvesting of the crops, the raising of buildings, or the satisfactory issue of any "bee"; 
 and so, as the means of transportation was limited, local distilleries seemed to be as nec- 
 essary as the blacksmith shop or the school-house. The county contained 33 distilleries.

 committee to draft plans and ascertain expense and devise means for finishing 
 the meeting-house. The committee reported July 14, 1817, and their plans 
 and estimates were adopted. John Cowles, William Doxtater, and Elijah 
 Wright frere appointed a committee to superintend and receive proposals for 
 building. It was also voted the pew ground be sold July 21st. Terms of 
 sale, one-fourth cash in two months, one- fourth in four months, one-fourth 
 in six months, and one-fourth in eight months. The house contained 4? 
 pews, and 36 of them sold for $2,300. The building was completed in 1818,. 
 and at the annual meeting August 25, that year, William Benton was chosen 
 sexton. In a few years this church proved to be too small to accommodate 
 the fast growing settlement, and in 1824, August 30, it was voted that a new 
 meeting-house be built "if a sufficient sum can be raised." Francis McKee,. 
 M. V. V. Rosa, P. D. Stone, J. H. Whipple, and Rev. G. W. Gale (then 
 pastor) were appointed a committee to procure a plan with expense of the 
 same, and it was voted that the owners of pews in the old house receive 4a 
 percent, on their stock in exchange for stock in the new house. In 1825 
 the old church was moved off to make room for a new building. Worship 
 was continued in the old church until 1827, when it was sold to William- 
 Grenell for $102. November 25, 1825, the building committee (William 
 Grenell, P. D. Stone, and Seth Gaylord) reported the house enclosed and 
 ready for glazing and painting at an expense of $2,057. January 3, 1826,. 
 the society met and more than $5,700 was realized from the sale of pews. 
 In 1858, at an expense of about $2,000, the church was thoroughly repaired 
 and an organ put in. In 1850 the society purchased of R. B. Doxtater and 
 S. D. Hungerford the Adams Seminary for a chapel, and it was used for that 
 purpose until 1881, when a new chapel was built upon the church lot. In- 
 1866 the society purchased the parsonage on Park street for $3,300, and held 
 it until 1883, when it was sold, and from the avails a new parsonage was 
 erected on the church lot. In 1881 extensive repairs were made to the out- 
 side of the church. These repairs included a new roof, a new tower, a new 
 cut-stone foundation, a new chapel with kitchen attached, and new stained 
 glass windows in both church and chapel, a new furnace put in, the total 
 expense being $5,940. In 1884 the church was refurnished, carpeted, and 
 decorated, and a new window put in the south end, the whole at an expense 
 of $1,100, making in all for repairs of the whole church the sum of $7,040. 
 The church was dedicated and reconsecrated by the pastor, Rev. James I. 
 Root, December i, 1884. In 1818 this church established the first Sunday- 
 school in Adams, which is also said to have been the first Sunday-school in 
 Jefferson County. Deacon Stone was its first superintendent. 
 
 Adams Village Baptist Church. — On October 22, 1846, a number of per- 
 sons holding membership in several Baptist churches in the neighborhood 
 met in the " old school-house " for the purpose of prayer and conference, and 
 exchanging views with reference to forming themselves into a Baptist church. 
 It was resolved at this meeting that the several persons present should procure

 letters from the churches of which they were members with this end in view. 
 The services of Rev. Charles Clark, of Denmark, who had been laboring in 
 the vicinity, were secured, and at a meeting held November 14, 1846, articles 
 •of Faith and Covenant were adopted and resolutions passed to organize a 
 Baptist Church. At a meeting held December 4, 1846, the following Baptist 
 churches were invited to send their pastors and one delegate each to sit in 
 ■council to consider the propriety of recognizing the newly-organized church : 
 First Adams, Lorraine, Belleville, Henderson, and Smithville. The council 
 met at the old " engine-house," where the meetings were held from this time, 
 December 17, 1846, and the church was duly recognized and the hand of 
 fellowship was given. The sermon on this occasion was preached by Rev. 
 E. Sawyer, the charge to the church was given by Rev. Thomas Bright, and 
 the hand of fellowship was given by Rev. A. Webb. 
 
 At a meeting held March i, 1847, a subscription was circulated for "the 
 purpose of purchasing a site and building a meeting-house," and the amount 
 raised at this time was $1,125. At a meeting held March 9 it was resolved 
 to build, and the following persons were appointed a building committee: 
 Rev. Charles Clark, W. Warriner, Spencer Woodward, Jesse Wright, and 
 Hannibal Miller. The house stood on the siteof thepresent church, and was 
 built of wood at a cost of $2,000. It was dedicated October g, 1847. The 
 dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. J. Freeman. 
 
 In March, 1849, the church denounced secret societies and put itself on 
 record as regarding "connection with such societies as inconsistent and sin- 
 ful to all professing godliness." It is difficult to say, after a lapse of so many 
 years, whether under all circumstances this was wise or otherwise. But it is 
 clear that this movement greatly hindered the church in its work by causing 
 dissension, discord, and even bitter enmity among the members for many 
 years, and more than once threatened its destruction. The church grew and 
 prospered until 1870, when the old building proved too small and inconven- 
 ient for the growing congregation, and a movement was commenced for the 
 erection of the present church edifice. On January i, 1870, the following 
 were appointed a building committee: Rev. S. P. Merrill, Judge A. J. Brown, 
 H. O. Kenyon, J. S. Brown, and A. W. Ingraham. The church was built by 
 H. A. Wheeler and Asa Lyons, of this village. The total cost of the building 
 and furnishing was $30,000, and $12,000 of this amount was paid by the 
 Kenyon family. The church has had 13 pastors, their names and terms of 
 service being as follows: Rev. Charles Clark, November 14, 1846, to Octo- 
 ber 6, 1850; Rev. C. M. Manning, October 12, 1850, to March 26, 1854; 
 Rev. A. Cleghorn, July i, 1854, to February 28, 1857 ; Rev. H. C. Beals, 
 July II, 1857, to November i, 1858; Rev. Wilham Garnett, January i, 
 i860, to January r, 1861; Rev. I. N. Hobart, March i, i86r, to March i,

 tendents: Hannibal Miller, Libbeus Andrus, W. D. Cook, Rev. I. N. Hobart, 
 A. J. Brown, J. O. Brown, and H. F. Overton. The present superintendent 
 is Prof O. B. Rhodes, The present membership of the church is 290, and 
 that of the Sunday-school 225. 
 
 Emanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, of Adams, was organized in 1849,. 
 with 10 members, the Rev. J. M. Bartlett being rector. October 9, 1849, the 
 corner-stone of a church was laid, and it was completed at a cost of $2,000. 
 Henry B. Whipple and William M. Johnson were chosen wardens ; and John 
 McCarty, David Gaylord, Hiram Salisbury, PhiHp R. Ward, John Wright,, 
 Justus Eddy, Charles W. Rogers, and Thomas Dobson, vestrymen. Rev. T. 
 F. Wardwell succeeded the Rev. Mr. Bartlett as rector, and remained a year. 
 The other rectors of the church have been the Revs. O. E. Herrick ; William. 
 Paret, 1861-63; J- H. Bowling, 1865; L. Weaver, 1866; Jedediah Winslow,.

 and the church property is valued at $3,500. In connection with the church 
 is a flourishing Sabbath-school, of which the rector is superintendent, and 
 W. G. Bentley is assistant superintendent. 
 
 Adams Center Baptist Church. — About 50 members having withdrawn 
 from the old Adams church, for the purpose of forming themselves into a- 
 church at the Center^ on December 17, 1852, they were organized with the 
 above name. Abram Sheldon, J. W. Horton, and L. Alien were elected 
 deacons. In March, 1853, the " Adams Center Baptist Society " was formed, 
 with 32 members, and Oliver McKee, Ezra Hull, and Silas Glasier, trustees. 
 The following summer a fine frame church, 44 by 60 feet, with a tower in 
 front, was erected on the principal street of the village, at a cost of $3,500.- 
 It will comfortably seat 400 persons. J. F. Nelson is the present pastor.

 bership of 300, with Hon. I. L. Hunt, superintendent. Hon. James G. 
 Kellogg is president of the board of trustees. 
 
 JAMES M. CLEVELAND. 
 
 The history of the town of Adams and of Jefferson County would not be 
 complete, nor should it be written, without prominent mention of James M. 
 Cleveland, an old and nearly life-long resident of Adams. Mr. Cleveland 
 was born in 1820, from a family early identified in the history of New Eng- 
 land, and is a direct descendant of Moses Cleveland, who came from Suffolk 
 County, England, in 1635, and settled in Woburn, Mass., as appears by the 
 custom house lists and militia rolls at that date ; and from said Moses Cleve- 
 land can be directly traced, as descendants, all persons bearing the Cleveland 
 name in the Northern states. Mr. Cleveland was educated for and com- 
 menced life as a farmer, and up to 185 i was successful in his vocation, and 
 by industry and foresight paying for and owning a fine property in the 
 town of Adams. He was always a thinking man, not only devising schernes 
 for his own advancement, but for the benefit of the agricultural community 
 in which he lived. He was a prominent and valuable member of the agri- 
 cultural societies of Jiff^rson County, and was always looked up to as a 
 man of excellent judgment. In 1851 he conceived the idea and established

 1887, gives this date as 1804.

 at Adams the business of growing peas, beans, and other seeds for seed pur- 
 poses for the donnestic and foreign markets. This was the first business of 
 the Icind ever estabhshed in Northern New York, and proved of incalculable 
 value to the farmers of his town and of Jefferson County, whose lands were 
 so well adapted to the cultivation of such products, and furnished them a fine 
 income from their farms, as hundreds can testify who have paid for homes 
 out of this industry alone. Mr. Cleveland conducted this business from 1851 
 to 1877, when the business was removed to Cape Vincent, and subsequently 
 to New York city. As long as Mr. Cleveland was interested in the business 
 it was one of the finest enterprises in the state, and from which he retired 
 with a competency. The farmers of this county will for years to come grate- 
 fully remember Mr. Cleveland for the advantages he furnished them, and the 
 fair dealing which characterized his transactions with them. Few men, and 
 certainly no other man in this section of the country, have been endowed 
 with the love of the beautiful and taste for adornment of nature in an equal 
 degree with Mr. Cleveland. His house and grounds where he resides are 
 arranged with the finest idea of symmetry, and a veritable paradise of flowers 
 greets the eye of the visitor in their season, and his neighbors and friends 
 delight in viewing his collections and asking his advice in laying out and 
 beautifying their homes. The people of the village of Adams have fully ap- 
 preciated this quality on the streets and improvements of different kinds 
 affecting the public. 
 
 Mr. Cleveland has always borne an enviable reputation for honesty, integrity, 
 and charity. He has been foremost in the advancement of all the interests 
 which pertain to the best advantage of his vilkge and the community in which 
 he Uves. All of the religious societies of Adams have in time of need met 
 with liberal donations from him, and the cause of education has received sub- 
 stantial tokens of his liberality from the competence which he enjoys. The 
 poor and needy have cause in every instance to thank him for kindly re- 
 membrance in their adversity, and on all occasions speak of him in terms of 
 praise. In rounding out a Hfe full of business activity Mr. Cleveland can rest 
 assured that he is and will be gratefully remembered by his fellow citizens. 
 
 In politics Mr. Cleveland has always been a Democrat, and though not in 
 any sense a politician, has always stood well in the councils of his party. In 
 1880 he was nominated for member of Assembly for the First Assembly 
 District of Jefferson County; and though the district was hopehssly Repub- 
 lican, he made a very successful canvass and lead his ticket throughout the 
 district, showing in an eminent degree his personal popularity. Though the 
 general public attest to his worth, yet it is in his own village that he is most 
 appreciated. Eight times have the citizens of Adams elected him to the 
 presidency of the village, and each time by majorities that have made his 
 election almost unanimous ; showing their appreciation of his judgment and 
 conservative actions in controlling their municipal affairs. 
 
 Mr. Clevelan h has been acquired

 by contact with men and affairs, augmented by wide experience in travel and 
 research. At various times in his life, on business and pleasure, he has- 
 visited nearly all the cities of note in his own country, and traveled through 
 the South and on the Pacific coast, visiting all the places of interest, thu^ 
 acquiring an inexhaustible store of knowledge upon topics connected with 
 his country which it is a pleasure to hear him recount, enjoyed by his neigh- 
 bors and friends. 
 
 DE ALTON DWIGHT. 
 
 De Alton Dwight was born in Henderson, Jefferson County, September 25, 
 1825. He was the son of Dr. Pelatiah Dwight, who was born in Somers,. 
 Conn., January 14, 1785, and died in Adams, N. Y., December 12, 1882, 
 aged nearly 98 years. His genealogy is traceable directly back through seven 
 generations to John Dwight, the settler who came over from England in 1634. 
 or 163s and settled in Dedham, Mass. From him it is believed sprung all 
 who bear that honored name in this country, — a name traceable far back in 
 English history. His mother, Azubah (Redway) Dwight, daughter of Pre- 
 served and Azubah Redway, was born in Galway, N. Y., August 25, 1792,. 
 was married in Adams, N. Y., July 9, 1822, and died in Henderson, April 6, 
 1871, aged 78 years. The family records show his ancestors to have been 
 very long-lived ; his father, Pelatiah, attaining the age of 98, his grandfather,. 
 Alpheus Dwight, 85, his grandmother, Phanna (Prentice) Dwight, 97, and his 
 great-grandmother, Dorothy (Sexton) Prentice, 99. 
 
 The subject of this sketch engaged in his first business enterprise in 1847, 
 with his brother-in-law, Dea. Horace Brown, in Henderson, where they cir- 
 ried on a lumbering business successfully together for five years. He then 
 purchased a farm in the same town, upon which he lived two years. Having 
 sold this he purchased another, in 1857, in Belleville, where he lived four- 
 years. He then moved to Adams, in 1861, and purchased a book store, just 
 five days before the firing upon Fort Sumter. There was also connected with 
 the store a news agency, where were sold, during the excitement of the 
 war, as many as 200 daily papers to this small village of 1,400 inhabitants 
 and the surrounding country, an evidence that Adams was not behind in 
 eagerness for news from the front in those perilous times. Mr. Dwight stilk 
 continues the same business. In 1882 he purchased a part of his grandfather 
 Redway 's farm, which he still continues to own. In 1887 and 1888 he 
 took a deep interest, in common with many others, in the material interests- 
 of the village of Adams, and gave liberally to various measures for their ad- 
 vancement. With others he formed the Adams Furniture and Manufacturing. 
 Company (limited), and was one of its first directors and president of the 
 board. He also, with others, upon its completion, purchased the plant of the 
 Adams Electric Light and Power Company (limited), and was the first presi- 
 dent of the company. He was an incorporator of the Adams National Bank^

 and one of the directors during its existence, from January 1, 1883, until its 
 dissolution, in 1889. He was also one of the for iders of the Farmers Na- 
 tional Bank of Adams, which commenced businei July 8, 1889, and is now 
 one of its directors. 
 
 Mr. Dwight's connections with the educationa' interests of the county 
 began in 1852, as a teacher of common schools, an occupation which he con- 
 tinued for four successive winters, during which tirre he was elected commis- 
 sioner of the common schools of the town of Henderson. During his term 
 of office he assisted in establishing the first teachei's' institute in the county, 
 which was held at Watertown, October 9, 1854. In 1882, when the Hunger- 
 ford Collegiate Institute of Adams was discontinued, he, with his devoted 
 wife, purchased the Cooper House, and rented it to the newly-incorporated 
 Adams Collegiate Institute, which organization afterwards bought the build- 
 ing. He was one of its first trustees, and after the removal to Albany of Dr. 
 A. B. Watkins, the first president of its board of trustees, Mr. Dwight v/as 
 elected to that honorable position, which he has held to the present time 
 (1890).^ 
 
 The institute to which Gen. S. D. Hungerford gave so liberally of his time 
 and money, and which, passing through various misfortunes, had finJly beerk 
 sold, was bought back m 1884 by Mr. and Mrs. Dwight, in cooperation with 
 the trustees and citizens, and was offered to the Presbyterian denomination 
 upon their giving it a suitable endowment to insure its becoming a permanent 
 Christian school. This noble object has been the desire of their lives, and 
 they fondly hope to see it accomplished. 
 
 When the Washingtonian temperance movement first swept over this county, 
 in 1842 and '43, Mr. Dwight became one of its ardent supporters, and has ever 
 since been a persistent temperance worker. In Henderson he was secretary cf 
 the temperance society during its existence. In the spring of i856 he was a 
 charter member of the Good Templars Lodge in Adams, and one of its lead- 
 ing officers during its entire existence. He was also one of the founders of 
 the Jefferson County Lodge of Good Templars, and held his full share of the 
 offices, both as secretary and chief templar. During the " Reform Club '' 
 effort he was also fully identified with the cause. In the endeavor to carry 
 and enforce the local option law he has been among its best supporters in the 
 town, having lectured in nearly every school-house and church in Adams, and 
 in many of the adjoining towns, laboring side by side with that devoted 
 apostle of temperance, Rev. Silas W. Hatch. 
 
 June 4, 1854, Mr. Dwight was married to Catherine S., daughter of Dea. 
 Araasa and Sarah (Hopkins) Brown, (daughter of Judge Jesse Hopkins, 
 of Henderson,) who has since been the sharer of his toils and the comfort of 
 his life. She united with the Congregational Church at Smithville at the 
 early age of 11 years. During her married life she has been connected with 
 the same church with her husband, to which it has been her chief delight to 
 give her best services and liberal gifts. The devotion and generosity extended 
 
2 26 TOWN OF ADAMS. 
 
 to the institute in its time of need saved it and enabled it to maintain its 
 .high rank, and gave it its present sound financial standing free from debt. 
 Mr. and Mrs. Dwight's daughter, Ella M., married Charles H. Wardwell, an 
 •estimable young man of Adams, who carries on a successful business in grow- 
 ing seeds. They have two little sons, their eldest son, Dwight, having died 
 •during the summer of 1889. 
 
 Mr. Dvight united with the Odd Fellows Lodge in its early history, filling 
 all its offices and sharing all its honors. But to the church of God his greatest 
 efforts have been put forth. He indulged a hope in the Saviour at the 
 early age of 17, and being of Puritan stock naturally gravitated to the 
 Presbyterian Church. There being no such church in his native town he 
 united with the one in Adams, and has since remained a member thereof 
 except during his stay in Belleville, where he united with the Presbyterian 
 Church and was elected a ruling elder, which office he has continued to fill in 
 the church in Adams since May, 1867. The Sabbath-school has also received 
 a large share of his attention, having filled the offices of teacher and super- 
 intendetit during the most of the time since his connection with the church. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Uwighl have always been earnest and active promoters of the 
 religious, educational, and social interests of the community, and now m the 
 maturity of their lives their works do follow them. Their hearts are still 
 warm with sympathy, and their purses open for every good cause.

 ALEXANDRIA. 
 
 ALEXANDRIA occupies the northern extremity of Jefferson County 
 opposite the Thousand Islands, of which a, number are included within 
 the limits of the town, the principal one being a portion of Wells 
 Island. This town is bounded on the northwest by the St. Lawrence River, 
 on the northeast by St. Lawrence County, on the southeast by Theresa, and 
 on the south and west by Orleans. The surface of the town is generally 
 rough and rocky, but that portion underlaid by sandstone is level, with a thin 
 clayey and sandy soil. It may be pertinent here to add that the Potsdam 
 sandstone substratum generally prevents a level surface, but more liable to 
 upheavals, and is covered with soil entirely brought from other formations, 
 and various in quality with the sources from which it has been derived. 
 Where not covered with drift, as occurs near Plessis, it is a barren rock, which, 
 although exposed from time immemorial to the action of the elements, still 
 preserves the traces of deluvial abrasion. This rock never presents a fertile 
 slope into the valley, but is bordered with abrupt precipices, at the foot of 
 which oftentimes are piled huge masses that have tumbled from the face of 
 the ledge. 
 
 Besides the grand St. Lawrence River, which forms its northwestern 
 boundary, this town is watered by numerous small streams, which have their 
 source in the southern part of the town. Butterfield Lake, Mud Lake, and 
 Clear Lake are in the southeastern part, and the first two mentioned lie partly 
 in the town of Theresa. It is claimed time has changed the appellation of 
 these lakes. That now known as Butterfield Lake was once Grand Lake; 
 Clear Lake was Crown's Lake ; and Mud Lake was Edmond's Lake. 
 
 This town was erected from Brownville and Le Ray, April 3, 1821, by the 
 same act that formed Philadelphia and Orleans, the first town meeting being 
 held at the house of William Merrill. By the first act its limits included 
 Theresa. An act of February 6, 1840, restored to the town of Orleans a 
 small part that had been annexed to the latter. The town derives its name 
 from Alexander, son of J. D. Le Ray, who obtained a colonel's commission 
 in the Texan revolution, and was killed in a duel in 1836. The early records 
 of the town are lost, and hence it is impossible to give a full account of the

 early organization. James ShurtlefF was the first supervisor ; Nathaniel 
 GoQdell the first clerk ; Ashley Tanner, assessor ; and Allen Cole and Joel 
 Porter, inspectors of election. 
 
 In 1880 Alexandria had a population of 3,135. The town is located in the 
 third school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 22 school districts, 
 one of which was joint, in which 28 teachers were employed the same number 
 of weeks or more. The whole number of scholars attending school was 93 r, 
 while the aggregate days attendance during the year was 78,606. The total 
 value of school buildmgs and sites was $17,400, and the assessed valuation of 
 all the districts was $1,275,061. The whole amount raised during the year 
 for school purposes was $8,602.05, $5,299.11 of which was received by local 
 tax. Charles E. Whitney was school commissioner. 
 
 Alexandria Bay, the most populous and most important village in the 
 town, was selected by Cadwallader Child, in 1804, while surveying a road (the 
 Alexandria road) from the Friends' settlement to the St. Lawrence, as an 
 eligible place for a port, and accordingly a reservation of a mile square was 
 made by Mr. Le Ray for a village, which was surveyed out for that purpose 
 by Edmund Tucker about i8i8. Mr. Le Ray erected a tavern and ware- 
 house, and for many years a thriving lumber trade was carried on, which con- 
 tinued as long as the supply lasted. The port has always been a landing- 
 place for the American and more recently for the Canadian steamers. A 
 custom house was established here in 1828, subordinate to the Cape Vincent 
 district. The first log house was erected by John W. Fuller, in 18 18, and the 
 first frame house by Dr. Jerre Carrier, in 1820. The latter occupied the 
 present site of the St. Lawrence Hotel, of which, in fact, it forms a part. 
 The first store was erected by Messrs. Jerre Carrier and John W. Fuller, and 
 stood on the " Point." Prominent among the business men of the place have 
 been Jerre Carrier, Azariah Walton and his sons, John W. Fuller, Andrew 
 Cornwall and his sons, Humphrey Sisson, and O. G. Staples. The business 
 men of the present time are represented in the directory of the town. The 
 first school-house was a primitive log structure, erected in 1821. It stood on 
 the lot now occupied by the Reformed Church. The first church was that 
 of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church Society, erected in 1848, and 
 opened for pubhc religious worship in 185 1. 
 
 A fine graded school building was erected in 1884, and in 1885 it was first 
 opened for classes. It has five departments under the instruction of compe- 
 tent teachers, and John O'Leary is the principal. 
 
 For more than a quarter of a century Alexandria Bay has been visited as 
 a summer resort. Its location in the immediate vicinity of the most numer- 
 ous cluster of the Thousand Islands, and its beautiful situation on the St. 
 Lawrence, constitutethe salient characteristics of its popularity. In 1848 Mr. 
 C. Crossmon began keeping hotel at the Bay, but it was not until 1872 that the 
 rush commenced, although a few persons, some of them men of note, had 
 made it their summer vacation place for years. Among these early visitors

 were Governor Seward, Martin and John Van Buren, Silas Wright, Frank 
 Blair, Preston King, General Dick Taylor, and Rev. George Bethune. In 
 1872 President Grant and family and a party of their friends accepted an 
 invitation from George W. Pullman, of palace-car notoriety, to visit his island 
 cottage. In 1872-73 the present magnificent "Thousand Island House'' 
 and the equally fine " Crossmon House" were erected and thrown open to 
 the public, since which time no watering-place has received a better or more 
 elegant patronage. 
 
 Alexandria Bay has never been noted for its manufactories, except perhaps 
 for the superior class of small skiffs and steam yachts built here. It con- 
 tains two steam saw and lumber-dressmg mills, and a goodly number of stores 
 and mechanic shops, including the machine shop of Louis Tassey, where the 
 repairing^of marine machinery is made a specialty. A. C. Mclntyre's photo- 
 graphic studio supplies a great number of Thousand Island views, and the 
 variety is constantly increasing. Indian baskets, bead work, and other curios 
 here find a ready market during the summer season. The village is provided 
 with a steam fire engine and other adequate fire apparatus. 
 
 The Alexandria Bay Steamboat Co., organized in 1887, built the steamer 
 New Island Wanderer, which took the place of the Island Wanderer, and 
 has for two years made the famous route inaugurated by Capt. E. W. Visger, 
 under whose management the new boat has been run. A. C. Cornwall, of 
 Alexandria Bay, is treasurer of the company. The boat is one of the fastest 
 on the river and is very popular with summer visitors. 
 
 Redwood (p. o.), a thriving village near the line of Theresa, owes its ori- 
 gin to a glass factory established by John S. Foster, who for several years had 
 been engaged in this business, as agent, in various localities. In April, 1B33, 
 he visited this county, examined several localities, and finally selected this, 
 which is on the stream connecting Mud and Butterfield lakes, the former of 
 which is about 94 feet above the latter, affording a limited water-power, that 
 had several years previous been improved by the erection of a saw and grist- 
 mill by David Smith, of Adams. Foster contracted with Francis Depau for 
 a tract of 10,000 acres, as agent, borrowed several thousand dollars of Depau, 
 and the same summer erected a glass factory, and on September 30, 1833, 
 the first glass was made. The village was surveyed by Thomas Clark, and 
 named Jamesville, but Mr. Foster gave the place the present name, from its 
 similarity to " Redford," his late residence, in hopes of thus being able to 
 compete in the sale of glass with an establishment from which he claimed to 
 have been unjustly discharged. The glass factory has at times been con- 
 ducted by the following : Schmauss & Co., Gerlach & Son, Ingleson, 
 Forbes & Co., and H. S. White, and from 1844 by Dezeng & Co. from the 
 Clyde glass factory. In 1853 ajoint stock company, with a capital of $12,- 
 000, was formed, entitled the " Redwood Glass Manufacturing Company." 
 In 1859 W. W. Butterfield became connected with the concern as its presi- 
 dent, and subsequently purchased all the stock. The works are not now in

 operation. A wool-carding and cloth-dressing factory was built here in 1846, 
 by William Page. Cook & Smith manufacture sash, doors, blinds, and 
 moldings, and Daniel Springer has a steam saw-mill at Redwood. 
 
 Plessis (p. o.) is situated midway on the old Alexandria and Theresa 
 plank-road, three miles from Redwood. It derived its name from a place 
 in France. It is familiarly known as " Flat Rock," from the prevalence of 
 the Potsdam sandstone formation in the vicinity, which presents a consider- 
 able portion of naked rock. In 1817 Mr. Le Ray erected a grist-mill here on 
 Plessis Creek, which was purchased by Jason Clark and William Shurtleff and 
 rebuilt in 1830. The first store was opened by Lull & Walton, in 1820. 
 The first log house was erected by William iVIerrill in 1818, and was after- 
 wards by him converted into an inn. Here, in 1826, he was murdered by 
 one John Powell, who was sentenced to r4 years imprisonment for the crime. 
 The first frame house was erected by William Tanner, and was used by him 
 as a dwelling and a store. The first church edifice was the Union building 
 -erected in 1833. A tannery was erected near the village on Plessis Creek in 
 182 1, by James Carter. A school-house was built in 1826, after the forma- 
 tion of the districts. The chief manufactories in the vicinity of Plessis are 
 the grist, saw, and shingle-mills of John H. Cline, and the saw-mill of Horace 
 P. Hoyt. 
 
 Spafford fitoXt in 1823 of Alexandria in 1821, when it was erected as a 
 township : Alexandria Bay had several houses, a tavern, store, and forward- 
 ing house. On Mullet Creek there was a saw-mill, and on Plessis Creek a 
 saw-mill and a grist-mill. The population was estimated zX. 150 families, the 
 census being included in that of Le Ray and Brownville. 
 
 The first improvement in this town was made about 181 1, by Mr. Le Ray, 
 who caused a clearing to be made at Alexandria Center, to afford facilities to 
 first settlers by supplying them with grain until it could be raised by thera- 
 •selves. He paid $r2 per acre with the ashes, and half the first crop, for 
 these jobs, and built a log barn. In i8it the proprietors made the Morris 
 and Hammond road, extending from Hammond village to the Red Tavern, 
 near Theresa, where it intersected another road, from the river to Philadelphia. 
 The former was cleared four rods wide, bridged and seeded with grass, but 
 had become nearly closed up when it was opened as a part of the Military 
 road, in 1820-23. 
 
 Cranberry Creek, about three miles from its mouth, was, during the War 
 ■of 1812, the scene of an engagement that is detailed in the County Chapter 
 under the heading " War of i8r2." Sales of land commenced in this town 
 in 1816. The first contracts were made payable in seven years, and required 
 the settlers, within one year, to build a house, equal to a log house 18 feet 
 square, and to clear one tv/enty-fifth part of the land contracted in a farmer- 
 like manner. Prices began at $3 per acre, and after 1820 mineral reserva- 
 tions were inserted in contracts and deeds. James Carnagie, Samuel Youngs,

 Fuller, Jerre Carrier were early settlers. The town continued to increase i» 
 population rapidly until 1828, when a sickly season checked its growth, and 
 gave it a reputation for unhealthfulness from which it was slow in recovering.. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Reformed Church of the Thousand Isles, located at Alexandria Bay,. 
 was organized August i, 1851, with five male and eight female members. 
 Rev. Anson Dubois was the first pastor. The church building, a stone struc- 
 ture, 35 by 55 feet, was begun in 1848, and was opened for worship May 25,. 
 1851. It has a seating capacity for 300 persons, cost $2,822, and is now

 The Sunday-school has 150 scholars and 10 teachers. 
 
 The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Alexandria Bay had, for its- 
 first pastor, Rev. William M. Holbrook. The church building, a wooden, 
 structure, cost $6,500, and is now valued, including grounds and other church' 
 property, at $10,000. It has a seating capacity for 280 persons. The present

 municants. Rev. George G. Perrine, of Theresa, is rector. The Sunday- 
 school has a membership of 35 scholars and six teachers. 
 
 The Church of St. Lawrence (Protestant Episcopal), at Alexandria Bay,, 
 was begun as a mission in 1880, with Rev. F. B. A. Lewis, M. D., as rector, 
 and has not yet been organized as a separate parish church. Their house of 
 worship, now in process of erection, of Laurentian stone, will comfortably

 ANDREW CORNWALL. 
 
 Andrew Cornwall, the ancestor of Andrew Cornwall, of Alexandria Bay, 
 emigrated to this country from England, with his family, some where about 
 1710, and settled in Old Chatham, Conn, (now Portland), where three 
 generations of the same name lived and died. The third Andrew Cornwall, 
 grandfather of our subject, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and died 
 after the close of that war from a wound received in the battle of Bennington. 
 Andrew Cornwall, 4th, father of our subject, with two brothers, William and 
 Ancil, left Connecticut about 1800, and came to what was at that time called 
 the far West, or Genesee country. Their first stop was at what is now the city 
 of Rochester, then a wilderness, where there was a small settlement; but think- 
 ing it was a swamp country, and not a good place to locate, they went to what 
 is now Pultneyville, Wayne County, N. Y., where there was another small set- 
 tlement with a saw-mill and grist mill. Here they located and married, and 
 here our subject was born March 25, 1814. After attending the district 
 school winters, and working on the farm summers, until 13 years old, he 
 entered the country store of John Reynolds, and continued in his employ for 
 13 years as clerk and bookkeeper. His health failing him, from close appli- 
 cation to business, he purchased a small vessel and went on the lakes as a 
 sailor. After three years of this business, his health being fully restored, he 
 sold his vessel and left the water. In January, 1843, he was married to Mary 
 C. Cathoun, who is still living. In July, 1844, he moved to Redwood, Jef- 
 ferson County, N. Y., and entered the employ of De Zang & Burlingame, 
 manufacturers of glass. He was in charge of their store for two and a half 
 years. In November, 1846, at the solicitation of Azariah Walton, he moved 
 to Alexandria Bay, and took an interest in the firm of L. A. Walton & Co., 
 then organized, which continued until 1853, when L. A. Walton died. A new 
 firm was then organized, under the name of Cornwall & Walton, John F. Wal- 
 ton being the junior partner, which partnership contmued until April i, 1877, 
 when Cornwall and Walton both retired from business, and the firm of Corn- 
 wall Brothers was formed, consisting of the four sons of Andrew Cornwall, 
 viz.: Andrew C, Charles W., John I., and Harvey A. This firm is still in, 
 business. 
 
251 TOWN OF ALEXANDRIA.. 
 
 Andrew Cornwall was supervisor of his town from 1852 to 1856, and again 
 from 1861 to 1865. Being what, was then called a war Democrat he was 
 made a member of the war committee of the county, though the board of 
 supervisors was largely Republican. He served the committee faithfully in 
 recruiting and filling the quotas of his own town and the county, often to 
 the serious detriment of his own private business. In 1867 he was nominated 
 by his party for member of Assembly, and, although his competitor was elected 
 the year previous by a large majority, Mr. Cornwall was successful. While in 
 the Legislature of 1868 he was a member of the Committee of Ways and 
 Means, of the manufacture of salt, and of the sub committee of the 
 whole. He was, in the fall of 1868, candidate for Congress against Hon. 
 A. H. Laflin, and as his party was largely in the minority he was defeated by 
 very small msjority. 
 
 In 1845 Azariah Walton bought of Henry Yates the north half of Wells 
 Island, and all the small islands in the River St. Lawrence, in American 
 waters, from Round Island, in Clayton, to the village of Morristown, St. 
 Lawrence County. At his death the firm' of Cornwall & Walton bought 
 them from his estate, for the timber, and for many years they cut steamboat 
 wood from them, some years getting as high as 12,000 cords. After the wood 
 was mostly cut off the larger ones were sold for faims. About i860 wood 
 began to give way to coal, and they determined to sell them at a ngminal 
 price to induce people to build on them summer homes, thereby making the 
 St. Lawrence River a famous watering-place, cf which there can be nodoubt 
 they have succeeded. 
 
 Mr. Cornwall commenced his business career with very limited means, but 
 with a determination to succeed. With close attention to every detail, and a 
 constant care that no debt should be made that could not be met when due, 
 and no unnecessary expense incurred, he has succeeded in his determination 
 to attain to a reasonable competency. 
 
 Mr. Cornwall has never been an ostentatious man, though in business mat- 
 ters he has always been energetic and prompt, exacting from others only 
 what he would himself do if in their places. The example of such a life as 
 Mr. Cornwall's is a benefit in any community. Any young man, if he pur- 
 sue a persistent course towards a desirable and honorable end, may succeed, 
 if he will, in this favored land of ours.

 Bay, where he now resides. 
 
 AUTYIKRP. 
 
 ANTWERP lies in the northeastern part of the county, in the form of a 
 parallelogram, of which the longer lines run about northwest and 
 southeast. It is bounded on the northeast by St. Lawrence County, 
 on the southeast by Lewis County, on the southwest by Wilna, Philadelphia, 
 and Theresa, and on the northwest by Theresa. The surface of the town, 
 which cannot properly be termed hilly, is yet rolling and uneven, and in many 
 parts rough, broken, and seamed by rocky ridges ; notwithstanding which 
 blemish the soil is strong and productive. 
 
 Its principal stream is Indian River, which enters from Wilna, and, after 
 miking a bold sweep towards the northeast, and passing through the princi- 
 pal village, fljws back across the southwest line into Philadelphia. There is 
 also the Oswegatchie River, which enters the town from the northeast, and, 
 making a short and abrupt bend, known as the "Ox Bow," passing the village 
 of the same name, turns sharply back into St. Lawrence County, after having 
 received Antwerp's tribute, a small stream fljwing out from her three lakes, 
 which are Sherman's, Vrooman's, and Moon — the last named lying on the 
 northwestern boundary, and partly in Theresa. 
 
 This town was formed from Le Ray, with its present limits, April 5, 1810. 
 A part of Lewis County was annexed to Jefferson by the same act. Its name 
 was given in honor of the Antwerp Company, who owned large tracts of land 
 in this and in the neighboring townships, and whose seat was in Antwerp, Bel- 
 gium. 
 
26o TOWN OF ANTWERP. 
 
 The organization went into effect January i, 1811, and tlie first annuat 
 meeting of the new town was held on the sth of the following March, "at 
 the house of Francis McAllaster, occupied by William Fletcher, inn-keeper 
 in said Town." Daniel Sterling was chosen moderator, and the following 
 persons were elected to the town offices: Daniel Heald, supervisor; Samuel 
 Randall, clerk; John Jennison, Zopher Holden, and Silas Ward, assessors; 
 Francis McAllaster, Oliver Stoweli, and Elkanah Pattridge, commissioners of 
 highways; William Fletcher and John C. Foster, overseers of the poor;. 
 Daniel Sterling, Jeduthan Kingsbury, Salmon White, Matthew Brooks, and 
 Samuel Hendrix, overseers of highways ; Elkanah Pattridge, constable and 
 collector. 
 
 In 1880 Antwerp had a population of 3,414. The town is located in the 
 second school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 25 school dis- 
 tricts, three of which were joint, in which 27 teachers were employed 28. 
 weeks or more. There were 530 scholars attending school, and the aggre- 
 gate days attendance during the year was 57,902. The total value of school 
 buildings and sites was $9,500, while the assessed valuation of all the dis- 
 tricts was $1,477,525. The whole amount raised for school purposes was- 
 $5,260.47, of which $2,374.59 was received by local tax. Truman C. Gray 
 was school commissioner. 
 
 Antwerp village is situated on Indian River at the point where it is 
 crossed by the " old state road," and on the R., W. & O. Railroad, 24 miles, 
 northeast from the city of Watertown, and 12 miles southeast from the 
 village of Gouverneur. The corporate limits, as recently surveyed and 
 indicated by stone monuments, is a square of one mile. Its first building 
 was a saw-mill built by General Lewis Robert Morris, in 1806, upon the site of 
 the one now owned by A. H. Monro, which was erected by Ezra Church in 
 1816. In the same year (1806) a small frame hotel (kept by Gershom Ma- 
 toon) was erected on the site now occupied by the Proctor House, and the 
 settlement thus begun became known as " Indian River.'' 
 
 In 1808 the first physican ever located in the town made his appearance in 
 the person of Dr. Samuel Randall, who erected himself a dwelling upon the 
 site of the present Congregational Church, and the following year was ap- 
 pointed postmaster and established the first postoffice in the town in a 
 room of his house. 
 
 In 1 810 a grist-mill, with one run of stones, quarried from a neighboring 
 ledge, was erected upon the site of the present structure by Ezra Church. 
 This property was owned by David Parish until 1839, when it was sold to- 
 Isaiah Bailey. It was destroyed by fire in 1841 and rebuilt the following, 
 year. Is is now a prosperous fiouring-mill of a capacity of six sets of rolls,, 
 and is owned and managed by Morgan Augsbury and sons. 
 
 In the year 1812 Mr. Church built a clothing-mill near the site of the 
 present J. G. Bethel planing-mill, and the same year Isaac L. Hitchcock 
 built a tannery on the lands now occupied by the store and office of the Jef- 
 
TOWN OF ANTWERP. 26 1 
 
 ferson Iron Co. Both of these buildings long since disappeared, but the new 
 •cloth-mill building, built in 1828 by Thompson and Wait, still stands and is 
 Tcnown locally as the "Red shop," the subject of a hot contest between the 
 town and village several years ago, the question being " aye " or " nay" to an 
 appropriation of several hundred dollars for the purpose of moving it out of 
 the highway to its present location. The villagers carried the day. The 
 pioneer merchants of the village were Zebulon H. Cooper, 18 10; Dr. Ran- 
 dall and Orin E. Bush, 1812 ; the first distillers were Emmons & Bissell, 1820; 
 and the first wagonmaker was Henry Welch about the same year. 
 
 In 1816 David Parish built a church and school-house for the benefit of 
 the people at his own expense, with brick made near the spot, which struc- 
 tures, as late as 1879, were still standing. In that year the school-house was 
 torn down and the present wood structure erected in its place. The church 
 was built with its front and rear walls on the hne of the meridian, at a cost of 
 $10,000, and for many years was free to all denominations, but finally fell 
 into the hands of the Roman Catholics, who now own and occupy it. It 
 was the second church edifice built in the county of Jefferson. The second 
 hotel was built on the west side of Main street, and was first run by Reuben 
 Nott. John P. Hind, of eccentric notoriety, was its second landlord, and 
 John C. Foster its last. The building was destroyed by fire. The Foster 
 House, now owned and conducted by Tilly M. Foster, was built and opened 
 by Gen. T. R. Pratt, and the Proctor House, on the corner of Main and 
 Van Buren streets, now conducted by H. W. and E. E. Proctor, was opened 
 by Smith Copeland. He was succeeded by his son Clewley, and he by a 
 line of proprietors, including such well-known names as African Gates, Martin 
 Hamlin, Parwin Bates, John N. Green, E. L. Proctor, and Capt. J. B. 
 Proctor. 
 
 In 1853 the village was incorporated under the Revised Statute, by a vote 
 of S3 to three, and a board of officers elected, consisting of five trustees and 
 a clerk, as follows: clerk, Publius D. Foster; trustees, Jonas S. Conkey, 
 Solomon J. Childs, Edward L. Proctor, William Carpenter, and George 
 Brown. Mr. Conkey was chosen president of the board. The following 
 year a bill drawn by Foster and passed by the legislature made the village a 
 separate highway district, and somewhat modified the powers and duties of 
 the trustees. March 7, 1871, H. W. Moore, G. N. Crosby, H. D. Hatha- 
 way, and S, W. Somes being the trustees, and John F. Cook the clerk of 
 the village, the people, by a vote of 94 to 22, adopted the general law of 
 1870 as their charter, and this with its amendments is the present law of the 
 village. The present board is made up as follows : Edward B. Perley, pres- 
 ident; Charles W. Moffett, George H. Lathan, and O. G. Devendorf, trus- 
 tees. At the date of its first iucorporation the village is said to have con- 
 tained_^about 500 inhabitants; it now has 1,100.* 
 
 * February i, 1890, bv a vote of ql to i^ , the citizens of Antwerp village decided to 
 adopt electric lights. 
 
TOWN OF ANTWERP. 
 
 In 1854 the people, feeling deeply the necessity of enlai'ged educational 
 facilities, an effort was commenced, the purpose of which was the founding of 
 an institution of learning in the village, the result of which was the Antwerp 
 Liberal Literary Institute. The buildings are two large imposing sandstone 
 structures of similar architecture, four stories in height, standing at nearly 
 right angles to each other, on an eminence overlooking the village. One of 
 these is the boarding hall ; the other contains the chapel, laboratory, Ubrary,. 
 and class-rooms, the buildings together having a capacity of about 200 board- 
 ing pupils. 
 
 From Spafford s Gazetteer of 181 2 we quote : — 
 
 " This tovra was first settled about 1807 by people from the Eastern states. The post-road' 
 from Utioa to St. Lawrence [aft'ording a weekly mail] lies through this town about nine or ten 
 miles, along which are the settlements. A saw-mill, a grain-mill, and a whisky-niill, or distil- 
 lery, and one store mark the present extent of those improvements." 
 
 Froip the same author, in 1820, we learn that the town contained 4,784. 
 acres of improved land, 1,456 cattle, 157 horses, 1,588 sheep; also one grist- 
 mill, four saw-mills, one fuUing-mill, one carding machine, iron works, one 
 trip-hammer, one distillery, two asheries, and a scythe factory. There were 
 12 school districts, at which school kept five months in the 12. The public 
 money received was $47. 
 
 Ox Bow (p. o.) village, near the northeast line of the town, is pleasantly 
 situated on a remarkable bend of the Oswegatchie River, which gives nanne 
 to the place. It contains two churches (Presbyterian and Methodist), one 
 hotel, a sash and blind factory, wagon shop, three blacksmith shops, one har- 
 ness shop, five stores, and about 300 inhabitants. 
 
 Gen. G. R. Morris, the first proprietor, sold a tract of about 18,000 acres- 
 of land, including the site of the village, to Silvius Hoard and others. About 
 i8t7 Abraham Cooper, of Trenton, N. Y., purchased the tract which thence- 
 forth took his name, and he may be properly called the founder of the village. 
 In the spring of 1818 he moved here and established the first store in this 
 part of the town, in the " old yellow store." Dr. Abner Benton, for many years 
 a prominent citizen, was the first physician. He came in 1818. In 1819 
 Abraham Cooper built the stone store, afterwards the IVIethodist Church. 
 The public house at Ox Bow, a part of the present hotel, was built by Abra- 
 ham Cooper in 18 19, and Solomon Loomis was the first landlord. The post- 
 office at Ox Bow was established in 1819, and Dr. Abner Benton was the 
 first postmaster. 
 
 Pulpit rock, on the road from Ox Bow to Evans IVIills, is an object of 
 interest to all who pass that way. By a fracture in the ledge by the roadside 
 a huge pot-hole is opened to view, which in its fancied resemblance to a 
 pulpit has gained the name it bears, and it is said that a sermon was preached 
 from it many years ago. 
 
 Sterlingburg, a mile above Antwerp village, on the southerly bank of 
 Indian River, is a hamlet now mainly the property of Alexander Copley. It 
 
TOWN OF ANTWERP. 263 
 
 was named from James Sterling, who was its proprietor for many years, and 
 who formerly had located here one of his several furnaces for the manufacture 
 of pig iron. At an early day a distillery was operated here by William Mc- 
 AUaster, as agent for Mr Parish. A saw-mill and grist-mill, owned by Mr. 
 Copley, are now the chief business interests. 
 
 Spragueville (p. o.), St. Lawrence County, is a small village, the main 
 street being on the county line. It is a station on the R., W. & O. Railroad, 
 and from here large quantities of iron ore have been shipped from the Keene 
 ore beds, which are located just over the line, in St. Lawrence County. The 
 business of the place is mostly in that county. 
 
 Bentley's Corners, Steele's Corners, and Nauvoo are hamlets. 
 
 Ives Seminary, located in Antwerp village, is an outgrowth of two previ- 
 ously-existing educational enterprises, — the Antwerp Liberal Literary Institute 
 and the Gouverneur Wesleyan Seminary. The last named institution was 
 incorporated April 5, 1828, and was successfully conducted as a grammar 
 school until 1837, when it was placed under the patronage of the Black 
 River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and became their con- 
 ference seminary, with Rev. Jesse T. Peck as principal. It remained under 
 the patronage of this church until i86g, when, as the buildings and facilities- 
 had become inadequate to the needs of the institution, it was transferred to 
 Antwerp. The Antwerp Liberal Literary Institute furnished the beginning 
 of the educational facilities, buildings, etc., which are now in use by the Ives 
 Seminary. The institute received a provisional charter in 1856, which was 
 afterwards extended to February i, i860, and in 186 1 it was made absolute. 
 The erection of a stone building, three stories in height, 105 feet long and 
 50 feet wide, was commenced during the summer of 1857, but was not 
 finished until May 9, 186 r, at which date it was dedicated. The value of 
 buildings, grounds, library, and apparatus at that time was $13,000. Of this 
 sum about $7,000 had been raised by subscription and $3,000 by bonding 
 the town, having an indebtedness of $3,000, which amount was loaned to the 
 institution by the state and subsequently made a free gift. The institute was 
 opened May 20, 1 86 1 , with J. M. Manning and two assistants in charge. Dur- 
 ing the following year three teachers were added and the number of students 
 was about 120. In 1863 it was proposed to transfer the property to (he 
 state for use as a Normal school, but this was not accomplished. In i86t; 
 an unsuccessful attempt was made to change the institute to a graded school. 
 In 1868 a proposition was made to lease the property to the Protestant Epis- 
 copal Society, but the parties interested could not agree on conditions. About 
 this time the Black River Conference leased the buildings, and the legisla- 
 ture changed the name of the institute to Black River Conference Seminary. 
 In 1870 the erection of a boarding and ladies' hall, of stone, 72 by 43 feet and 
 four stories high, was commenced. It was finished two years afterwards and 
 cost $r6,ooo. In 1873 it was resolved by the trustees to place the mstitu- 
 tion forever beyond the possibility of failure by raising a fund of at least 
 
264 TOWN OF ANTWERP. 
 
 $30,000. Hon. Willard Ives, of Watertown, immediately headed the subscrip- 
 tion with $8,000, and two years later the conference had succeeded in rais- 
 ing about $26,000. The entire wealth of the institution, including buildings, 
 €tc., is more than $50,000. April 21, 1874, the name was changed to "Ives 
 Seminary," at the suggestion of Dr. E. O. Haven, and at about the same 
 time an arrangement was made by which the seminary was adopted as Gym- 
 nasium C of Syracuse University, students graduating from it being admit- 
 ted there without re- examination. The school is in a prosperous condition, 
 sustained by the following faculty : Rev. E. M. Wheeler, A. M., principal, 
 mental, moral, and political science; Miss Alice Morris, preceptress, Enghsh 
 literature, ancient and modern history, French, and German ; Miss Lydia F. 
 Root, Latin and Greek; Prof. C. H. Murray, natural science and mathemat- 
 ics ; Prof. W. L. Wheeler, commercial and common English, normal course, 
 higher English ; Miss Mina Monroe, music ; Miss Florence Kinney, drawing 
 and painting and elocution; Miss Jennie Wait, preparatory. 
 
 Iron Mi?ies. — In the town of Antwerp there is a range of ore deposits 
 owned by the Jefferson Iron Company. They are, beginning at the southwest, 
 Colburn, Ward, Dickson, White, and Old Sterling mines. The Dickson 
 mine was first opened in 1858. It is 120 feet deep, and worked wholly as an 
 underground mine. The geological relation of the ore is much the same as 
 in the Old Sterling mine. The White mine is a small pit on the White farm, 
 between the Dickson and Old Sterling. The Old Sterling mine is one mile 
 northeast of the Dickson mine, and three miles from Antwerp. First opened 
 by George Parish, in 1836, it has been in operation ever since. For years it 
 was in the possession of the Sterling family, who used the ore in their furnace, 
 and refused to sell any of it. In 1869 it became the property of the Jeffer- 
 son Iron Company, which was organized in that year. The open pit at the 
 northeast is 115 feet deep, and approximately 500 by 175 feet. The under- 
 ground workings are south and southwest of it, and the ore has been followed 
 for a distance of 900 feet, and to a depth of 185 feet. This deposit lies be- 
 tween the gneissic rocks on the southeast, 400 feet distant, and the sandstone 
 (Potsdam) on the west side of the mine, but no walls have as yet been reached 
 in the mine. A serpentine rock occurs with the ore, apparently without any 
 order in its relations to it. The ore varies from a specular ore of metallic 
 lustre and steel-gray shade of color to amorphous, compact masses of deep 
 red. The crushed pov/der answers well as a paint, and stains deeply all with 
 which it comes in contact. The chemical composition is shown'by the follow- 
 ing analysis : —

 The ore stands up well, and, by leaving pillars, with arched roof in the gal- 
 leries and drifts, no timbering is necessary. There is comparatively little 
 water in the mine. The serpentine is not so firm as the ore, and is full of 
 slickensides surfaces. Small mine cars are used on the narrow gauge tram- 
 ways in the mine drifts. A skip track runs to the bottom of the open pit. 
 A branch railroad three miles long connects this mine and the Dickson with 
 the main line of the R., W. & O. Railroad near Antwerp, although in a due 
 east course the latter is less than a mile away. 
 
 The Dickson and Old Sterling ores are sold to furnaces on the Hudson 
 River, and in eastern Pennsylvania, and some in Ohio. The ease with which 
 the old Sterling ore is smelted, being almost self-fluxing, creates a demand for 
 it in mixtures with other more refractory ores, and even where the freights 
 make it expensive. Tha total output of these mines is estimated by Mr. 
 E. B. Bulkley, president of the company, at 750,000 tons. 
 
 C. W. Hall 6-» Co' s furniture manufactory, AocdA^di on Indian River, at Ant- 
 werp village, was established in 1870. It employs five men, and does a busi- 
 ness amounting to about $5,000 per year. 
 
 William Monro's saw-mill, on Indian River, at Antwerp village, employs 
 two men, and cuts 5,000 feet of lumber per day. 
 
 f. G. Bethel's sash, door, and blind factory, located on Indian River, at 
 Antwerp village, was established by the present owner, who is also a contractor 
 and builder. The factory furnishes employment for 20 men. 
 
 Antwerp foundry was started by Joseph Newton, in 1857 or '58. About 
 1873 it was purchased by D. & W. Hogan, the present proprietors, who em- 
 ploy two men in the manufacture of stoves, plows, etc., doing an annual busi- 
 ness of $3,000. 
 
 Antwerp roller flouring-mill, located on Indian River, at Antwerp village, 
 was built in 1840, by I. Bailey. It has passed through several hands, and in 
 i868 was purchased by Morgan Augsbury, who in 1884 changed it to the Hun- 
 garian roller process. It is run by water-power, and its capacity is 80 barrels 
 per day. 
 
 The honor of having made the first settlement in the territory now com- 
 prising the town of Antwerp lies between Captain William Lee and Peter 
 Vrooman. It appears evident that both settled the same year, 1803, though 
 both were then but squatters on land which they afterwards purchased. Lee 
 located on the State road on lot d^T, and Vrooman built his log house at 
 
2 66 TOWN OF ANTWERP. 
 
 the great bend of the Oswegatchie, at a point near the lower end of the pres- 
 ent village of Ox Bow. Both these settlers opened their log dwellings as- 
 public houses for the accommodation of the travelers and explorers who had' 
 already commenced to journey through that new country. Mention of both- 
 these establishments as early as 1804 is found in the diary of James Constable, 
 who, during the summers of 1803, '04, '05, and '06, made extended tours 
 through Jefferson and adjoining counties on business, as executor of the 
 estate of his deceased brother William, who had been an extensive land- 
 owner in this region. Under date of August 21;, 1804, he says: — 
 
 " Pass on through No. 4 * * * 10 (ten) miles to the Long Falls (Carthage) where we break- 
 fasted at a middling good tavern. * * * Proceed on i miles from the river to a log hut, then 
 6 miles to another, then 12 to a third, there being but three settlers on the Great Tract No. 4, 
 unless there are some on Pennet's Square. * * * This tract belongs to, or is under the man- 
 agement of, Mr. Le Ray and Mr. G. Morris, and nothing has yet been done towards settling it. 
 The three people now on it have a verbal promise that they shall have the land at a fair price 
 as first settlers, but they are very anxious in their enquiries after General Lewis E. Morris,, 
 who, it is understood, has undertaken the selling of 100,000 acres. * * * Sleep at Lee's tavern 
 22 miles from the falls, with hard fare and poor lodgings." 
 
 It is apparent from this that Mr. Constable's journey was northward from 
 Carthage, through the present towns of Antwerp and Wilna, and that he 
 found a cabm at the end of the first four miles, then another six miles fur- 
 ther on, then nothing but wilderness for a distance of 12 miles, including the 
 present site of the village of Antwerp, until he reached Captain Lee's log. 
 tavern, north of Antwerp village. He then proceeded, according to the con- 
 tinuation of his diary, "five miles to the Ox Bow, a remarkable bend in the 
 Oswegatchie River," where he breakfasted in a log hut (evidently Vrooman's); 
 with another in sight. After a journey through St. Lawrence and Franklia 
 counties he returned over the same route, and under date of September 9. 
 says: — 
 
 " Set off from Lee's after breakfast and stop at Steam's, on No. IV., at twelve miles distance, 
 then ten miles more to the Black Kiver at Long Falls." 
 
 In his tour of the next year (1805) he again traversed the same route, and 
 thus recorded his journey from Carthage to the Ox Bow under date of 
 August 16: — 
 
 " Proceeded through"the Great Tract No. IV., and stopped at Steam's, ten miles, where we 
 dined, and arrived at Lee's, twenty miles from the falls, where we passed the night, and, as 
 the house was completely full, an uncomfortable one it was. I see no alteration in this part of 
 the country since last year; the road at least as bad, and no more settlers. We were told General 
 Lewis B. Morris has been through it, and has now gone to Vermont, intending shortly to 
 return, perhaps with his family. He has quieted Lee and other squatters, who seem well satis- 
 fied. He is expected to build at the Ox Bow." 
 
 The next day (August 17) Mr. Constable left Lee's and journeyed to Ox 
 Bow, " five miles of as bad road as we have yet traveled." 
 
 In the spring of 1806 Silas Ward commenced the erection of a saw-mill at 
 the present village for Mr. Morris, the proprietor of the town, which was the 
 first improvement here, and the place acquired and long maintained the name 
 
TOWN OF ANTWERP. 267 
 
 of "Indian River." It being at the point where the State road crossed the 
 river, and affording a good water-power, the place wai naturally destined to 
 become the center of business for the surrounding country. In the winter 
 of 1805 a road was opened from Philadelphia to this place and Ox Bow, and 
 the next year to Gouverneur, which began to settle at about this time. 
 Gershom Matoon kept the first inn at the village. In January, 1807, John 
 Jennison was appointed a local agent, under whose direction a grist-raill was 
 built. The land books show the following names of settlers, with the dates 
 of their purchase: 1805, William Lee. 1806, John Bethel, John Robinson, 
 Peter Vrooman, Edward Foster, Jr., Mary Sterling, Benajah Randall, John 
 Jennison, Peter Raven, Hopestill Foster, and John C. Foster. 1807, Zebulon 
 Rockwell, Samuel Griswold, David Coffeen, Zopher Holden. 1808, Sirauel 
 Randall, Zebina Bishop, Mary Bishop, Alfred Walker, Daniel Gill, William 
 Fletcher. 1809, Richard McAllaster, Dexter Gibbs, Sherebiah Gibbs, 
 Jonathan Marbles, Isaac L. Hitchcock, Timothy Ruggles, Jesse Jackson, 
 Danield Heald, John Pease. tSio, Amasa Sartwell, Almond Beecher^ 
 William Fletcher, Duthan Kingsbury, Harrison Moseley. 181 1, OHver 
 Howell, Lemuel Hubbard, Anson Cummings, John White, Levi Wheelock. 
 1812, William Harris, William McAllaster, Daniel Sterling, Salmon White, 
 Warren Streeter, William Randall, Elkanah Pattridge, Ira Ward, Asher Sey- 
 mour, Roswell Wilder, Benjamin Goodwin, Elliott Lynde, Daniel Gill, Caleb 
 Cheney, Henry C. Baldwin, James Briggs, Silas Brooks, Shailer Beckwith, 
 Silas Ward, Ezra Church. In 1808 Divid Parish, an eminent banker of 
 Hamburg, made extensive purchases in Northern New York, including 
 29,033 acres in this town. 
 
 Soon after this purchase great alarm was spread throughout the settlement 
 by the misrepresentations of a vicious-minded person who had previously 
 been employed as a land agent in St. Lawrence County. With no apparent 
 motive but a morbid love of mischief, he visited some of the settlers and 
 announced that they had now changed masters, and would soon know what it 
 was to be in the hands of a tyrant ; that their dues would be exacted with 
 vigor ^x^A. forthwith, or they would b*e stripped of their property and turned 
 off destitute from their homes. This announcement, coming from one of 
 supposed knowledge of such affairs, created consternation throughout the 
 settlement, and when they were shortly after visited by Mr. Joseph Rosseel, 
 agent of the new purchaser, the excitement was intense. He soon succeeded 
 in restoring confidence, which was firmly established on the arrival of Mr. 
 Parish, who visited every family and assured them that they might depend 
 upon any indulgence that might be reasonably asked. The sincerity of this 
 promise they never had reason to distrust. 
 
 In 1808 a party of militia under Captain Timothy Tamblin was stationed 
 near the intersection of the two great roads leading into St. Lawrence County, 
 a mile north of Antwerp village, to prevent smuggling under the embargo 
 law. During the War of 1812 a company of regular troops was stationed 
 
268 TOWN OF ANTWERP. 
 
 near the same place, and also for the purpose of preventing smuggling into 
 the country from Canada. Much ingenuity was exercised in evading the 
 vigilance of sentinels, and sometimes with great success. 
 
 At a special town meeting held July 2, 1812, to take measures considered 
 necessary in consequence of the war, it was " Resolved, That Samuel Ran- 
 dall, town clerk, shall be made moderator. Resolved, That there be built 
 a fort 36 by 20, the lower story, and upper 40 by 22, for the security of 
 the inhabitants of said town. Resolved, That it be set north of Indian 
 River 30 rods, in front of Sylvius Hoard's house.'' John Howe, Silas Ward, 
 and Oliver Hoard were appointed a building committee; 50 cents were 
 to be alloived for a day's work, to be paid by tax. July 17 another 
 special meeting was held for the purpose of devising " a proper method 
 for our defense, through a tragedy of war which is now beginning action be- 
 tween the United States and Great Britain," and according to law notice 
 was given to the inhabitants for the said meeting, to be held at the house 
 of Francis McAllaster, inn-keeper. A similar series of resolutions were 
 passed, with the additional clause requiring the laborers on the fort to work 
 for 50 cents a day and board themselves. 
 
 In the spring of 1867 a large part of the business portion of the village 
 was destroyed by fire, a circumstance which resulted in greatly improving the 
 appearance of the place, as the buildings, which had been only an inferior 
 class of wood structures, were replaced with brick and stone blocks of good 
 style. 
 
 On February 3, 1889, the village was again visited by a disastrous confla- 
 gration, which destroyed the business portion of the town, leaving only two 
 buildings which could be used for offices and stores. About 11 o'clock 
 Sunday night, the thermometer registering 22 degrees below zero, fire was 
 discovered in the basement of Fred Spears's drug store, and before the 
 flames could be got under control over $50,000 worth of property had been 
 destroyed. The village had no facilities for fighting fire, as it owned neither 
 engine nor hose. The tannery in the village was run by an engine which 
 had a force pump attached. There was also about 200 feet of hose belong- 
 ing to the tannery which could be used, and this was brought mto play, but 
 it was not sufficient to reach all the burning buildings. About two hours 
 after the fire started word was telephoned to Watertown for help. An engine 
 and hose-cart were loaded on a special train and immediately dispatched, 
 arriving at the scene about 3:30 a. m. By the breaking of a cog-wheel the 
 engine was rendered useless a few minutes after starting. The hose brought 
 by the Watertown firemen proved to be a valuable acquisition, for by attach- 
 ing it to the tannery pump the burning property was reached and several 
 buildings saved that otherwise would have burned. When the fire was dis- 
 covered in the basement of Spears's drug store it had made such progress 
 that nothing could be done to save either the store or the Antwerp bank. 
 Trom these two buildings the flames communicated to Fuller's restaurant, 
 
TOWN OF ANTWERP. 269 
 
 E. B. Perley's drug store, and Miss A. Beaman's dry and fancy goods store in 
 quick succession. As the fire devoured the latter place the wind changed 
 and drove the flames back along their course, which had so far been through 
 wooden structures, to the brick block in which John Burtis kept a restaurant.. 
 William Bentley's dry goods store followed ; then J. Winkler's boot and 
 shoe store, the Antwerp Gazette office, W. S. Smith's grocery, and C. B.. 
 Hall's undertaking rooms. 
 
 Over the stores were the offices of Dr. Abell, Dr. Wood, George H. Lathan, 
 dentist, and that of Attorney J. C. Trolan. Mr. Burtis made his home over 
 the restaurant, and Mrs. Johnson had a dressmaking estabhshment on the 
 second floor. The office of Dr. W. L. Hartman was situated in the block. 
 John C. Trolan 's valuable law library was completely destroyed, and the 
 medical works, comprising libraries of the physicians who were located in 
 the building, were burned. The Masonic hall, W. R. Smith's block and 
 stock of groceries, Miss Pauline Mcintosh's stock of millinery, Hall Broth- 
 ers' stock of furniture, and the goods in the store of the Jefferson Iron Com- 
 pany were more or less damaged by water and smoke and haste in removal.. 
 The total insurance on the property destroyed was about $31,500. The 
 young lady who telephoned the Watertown office for help stuck to the tele- 
 phone until her face was scorched by the heat, but she got her message 
 through and received an answer before she left her post. 
 
 At this writing (October, 1889) these buildings are all replaced with nearly 
 completed and much better stone and brick buildings than those destroyed. 
 In addition to those there is also in process of construction a brick block 
 93 by 65 feet. It is located on the corner of Main and Van Buren streets,, 
 and contains four stores and a large public hall. It is the property of Fred 
 Y. Spears, Charles L. Dillenbeck, George and Daniel Alton, and William T. 
 Bentley, and is known as the Opera House block.* The new block by E. P.. 
 Parley and Cassius Marsh is of brick, ornamented with Gouverneur marble 
 and Potsdam sandstone. It is in three stories, and will contain the Perley 
 drug store and the Marsh shoe store, the Odd Fellows hall, the office of Dr.. 
 I. H. Abell, and the dental office of G. H. Lathan. 
 
 In i88o the board of town officers, then consisting of H. H. Bent, super- 
 visor; John F. Cook, William N. Johnson, M, M. Gillett, and Daniel W. 
 Sprague, justices of the peace; and James W. Van Slyke, town clerk, de 
 cided to build a stone bridge across Indian River on Main street, and 
 appropriated $6,000 for that purpose. The bridge was built by Howard 
 Sterling, who was then highway commissioner of the town of Antwerp. It is- 
 a massive double arch of heavy blocks of limestone laid in Rosendale cement. 
 
 Martin L. Willard, the postmaster at Antwerp, possesses an interesting old 
 docuraeijt. It is the commission of an ancestor as captain in the colonial 
 troops of King George II., and is highly prized by the family. It reads : — 
 
 On February 14, 1890, this opera house was formally opened by a grand ball.

 WILLIAM MC ALLASTER. 
 
 William McAllaster was bora in Antrim, N. H., March 6, 1792. His- 
 father, Richard McAllaster, was an Irishman; his mother, Susan, Scotch. 
 They were highly respected in the community, and until William was 13. 
 years of age in easy circumstances. Then misfortune came and swept away 
 the results of years of industry and frugahty. The times were hard and the 
 exigencies of the case demanded vigorous action on the part of Richard, and 
 one of the measures he took to relieve himself and family from the pressure 
 of want was to bind William under the apprentice laws, then existing in that 
 state, to a neighboring farmer for a term of years. At the age of 18, finding 
 himself at liberty and on the world, with only a small amount of money in 
 his pocket, William packed his scanty wardrobe in a bundle, and taking it 
 upon his back set out upon a long march through the wilderness, hardly 
 knowing whither he was going, but carrying in his breast a stout heart and 
 in his vigorous frame the health and strength requisite to a successful encoun- 
 ter with fate however obstinate she might prove. Of the length of time con- 
 sumed or the hardships and privations endured upon this journey we can say 
 nothing ; but we know that upon reaching Antwerp he found little or nothing to- 
 do, and so continued his journey to Ogdensburg. Here he obtained employ- 
 ment of Mr. Ford, the builder of the State road, one season. Returning to- 
 New Hampshire he came again to Antwerp, bringing with him his parents and 
 one brother and five sisters. The journey was performed with a yoke of cattle 
 and a two-wheeled cart. On arriving at Antwerp village Richard immediately 
 set about the erection of a house on a site now within the limits of Hoyt street,, 
 just in the rear of the new Congregational Church. Richard and Susan died 
 in 1813, their graves being among the first dug in the old burying-ground on 
 the hill. In the meantime William was laboring hard at small wages on the 
 turnpike, which was then being built from Antwerp village to the Ox Bow. 
 Subsequently he was elected constable and collector. As collector he com- 
 pelled Parish to pay his taxes in Antwerp instead of Albany, somewhat against 
 the gentleman's inclination, but WiUiam's energy and promptness in the mat- 
 ter pleased the wealthy land-owner and he subsequently made the young man 
 his agent. In 1828 he married Nancy Stowell, a lady who came to Antwerp- 
 in 1809 from New Hampshire, and who was born January 6, 1804. Of this 
 marriage were born four children, WiUiam P., George D., Oliver R., and 
 Major. Of these only George D. is now living. Major died while young, 
 and William P. and Oliver while engaged in the service of the United States 
 in the war of 1861-65. The Grand Army Post at Antwerp bears the name of 
 Oliver. Hon. George D. McAllaster has served one'term in the legislature,, 
 and has been several times supervisor of his town. 
 
 WilHam McAllaster continued as Parish's agent until his land was all soW 
 and he ceased to do business in the town. For many years he managed the 
 whole of that gentleman's business in this section with satisfaction to his em-

 ployer. In 1828 he purchased 550 acres of Parish, and this he kept until 
 his death. He was elected to the Assembly in 1840, and for one year was 
 ■supervisor of his town. During the latter part of his life he dealt in real 
 estate and personal property. He died May 5, 1870.

TOWN OF BROWNVILLE. 
 
 BROV/KYILLK. 
 
 BROWNVILLE was formed from Leyden, April i, 1802, and was named 
 in honor of its founder and first settler, Jacob Brown, who afterwards 
 became major-general in the United States army. The town origi- 
 nally embraced all that portion north of Black River from a line running from 
 ■the northwest corner of Champion, north 45 degrees east to the southwesterly 
 bounds of the county of St. Lawrence. Le Ray was taken off in i8o6;Lyraein 
 1818; Pamelia in 1819; and Orleans and a part of Alexandria in 1821. It is 
 situated on the north side of Black River and Black River Bay, which separate 
 it from Hounsfield and Watertown, is bounded on the north by Clayton and 
 Orleans, on the east by Pamelia, on the west by Lake Ontario, and on the 
 northwest by Guffin's Bay (an arm of Chaumont Bay) and the town of Lyme. 
 The present limits of the town include 33,994 acres. Railroad facilities are 
 afforded by the R., W. & O. Railroad, which passes through the town, with 
 stations at Brownville village and Limerick. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the house of Samuel and Jacob Brown^ 
 and adjourned to Brownville Hotel, March i, 1803, at which the following 
 town officers were elected: Jacob Brown, supervisor; Isaac Colhns, clerk 
 John W. Collins, Richard Smith, and Peter Pratt, assessors; J. W. Collins, 
 Ozias Preston, Samuel Starr, commissioners of highways; O. Preston, Rich 
 ardson Avery, Henry A. Delamater, Samuel Brown, Benjamin Brown, Will 
 iam Rogers, Abijah Putnam, fence viewers; S. Brown, S. Starr, overseers of 
 the poor; S. Brown, Sanford Langworthy, Caleb J. Bates, Sylvanus Fish, 
 H. A. Delamater, Frederick Sprague, George Waffle, Ethni Evans, pathmas- 
 ters ; J. W. Collins, H. A. Delamater, and S. Brown, poundmasters. 
 
 Prior to 1788 these lands were in the possession of the Oneida Indians of 
 the Iroquois Confederacy. In September of that year the Oneidas, by treaty, 
 conveyed, for a consideration, the greater part of their lands to the state. 
 The United States confirmed this treaty November ii, 1794. In 179T Alex- 
 ander Macomb bargained for a large tract embracing this section, and in 
 1792 employed William Constable to sell lands in Europe. April 12, 1793, 
 Constable effected a sale of 210,000 acres of this land to Peter Chassanis, of 
 Paris ; and Chassanis appointed Rodolph Tillier, of New York, to manage and 
 sell this property. 
 
 Macomb's tract No. 4 was surveyed in 1796 by C. C. Broadhead, assisted 
 by Jonas Smith, Timothy Wheeler, Joshua Northrup, Elias Marvin, John 
 Young, Isaac Le Fevre, Elijah Blake, Samuel Tupper, Eliakim Hammond, 
 and Abraham B. Smede, each with a corps of assistants, and the whole hav-

 ing a general camp or rendezvous at Pillar Point, at a place called Peck's 
 Cove, near where the Chassanis line crosses the bay. 
 
 When Chassanis first arranged for this tract of land it was proposed to 
 •divide it into lots of 50 acres each, giving title and possession of one lot to 
 each purchaser, and reserving for each purchaser another lot of 50 acres, 
 of which he was not to come into possession until a future period. Provision 
 was also made for two cities, one of which was to be located between Brown- 
 -ville and Dexter ; 600 acres were set aside for that purpose, to be called the 
 "city of Basle." 
 
 The surface of Brownville is level or gently undulating. The soil is sandy 
 ■or clayey loam. Sulphate of barytes is found on Pillar Point, and the vein 
 has been worked to some extent for lithic paint. Upon the west bank of 
 Perch River, a few rods below Limerick, is a cave extending 150 yards into 
 the bank and 30 feet below the surface. Perch River enters the town in the 
 northeast corner, and taking a southwesterly direction empties into Black River 
 Bay. It is a dull, sluggish stream, and the lay of the land along its course 
 is flat and in many places marshy. A dam was built at Limerick at an 
 early day, but it was found to overflow the flats above and render them un- 
 healthful, when it was removed by order of the court, and afterwards built be- 
 low. 
 
 Brownville, in 181 2, was about 24 miles north and south, and nearly the 
 same in breadth. The village contained at that time about 20 houses, sev- 
 eral stores, a school-house, a grain and a saw-mill, and a distillery. 
 
 In 1820 the village contained about 60 dwellings, a stone church, school- 
 house, two grist-mills, three saw-mills, one fulling-mill, one carding machine, 
 a woolen factory, a cotton factory with 1,000 spindles, a rolling and slitting- 
 mill, a trip-hammer and nail factory, and a number of stores ; and there were 
 besides these in the town five grist-mills, seven saw-mills, one fulling-mill, 
 two distilleries, and 33 asheries. There were 15 school districts. 
 
 In 1880 Brownville had a population of 2,624. The town is located in the 
 first school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 20 school districts, 
 in which 24 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. There were 632 
 ■scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance during the year 
 ^^s STiS^g. The total value of school buildings and sites was $16,600, 
 while the assessed valuation of all the districts was $1,654,733. The whole 
 amount raised for school purposes was $5,913.19, $3,194.39 of which was 
 received by local tax. S. Whitford Maxson was school commissioner. 
 
 Brownville village, a station on the R., W. & O. Railroad, was incorpo- 
 rated April 5, 1828. It is located on Black River, four miles from Watertown, 
 has telephone, telegraph, and American Express offices, one hotel, several 
 churches, three or four paper and pulp-mills, a foundry and machine shop, 
 two blacksmith shops, shoe shops, harnessmaker, livery stable, a general 
 store, two groceries, a dry goods store, and a population of about 600. Many

 of the residences and other buildings are constructed of stone, which give, 
 the village an ancient appearance. 
 
 Dexter is an incorporated village and postoffice, situated at the mouth of 
 Black River, from which it derives a valuable water-power, and one and a half 
 miles from the station on the R., W. & O. Railroad at Limerick. It has 
 telegraph, telephone, and express offices, four churches, three pulp-mills, two- 
 paper-mills, a sash, door, and blind factory, two grist-mills, saw-mill, wool- 
 carding-mill, three general stores, drug store, several groceries, meat markets, 
 restaurants, dressmakers, wheelwrights, blacksmiths, etc., and about 700 
 inhabitants. The postoffice was established here in 1836, and the village 
 was incorporated May 8, 1855, under general law, and amended by special 
 act April 15, 1857, and January 28, 1865. It is one of the most enterpris- 
 ing villages in the county, and will doubtless grow in importance. Steps 
 have been taken towards erecting a large summer hotel here, which the 
 healthful and desirable location of the village warrants. 
 
 Limerick is a postoffice and station on the R , W. & O. Railroad, eight 
 miles from Watertown. It is located on Perch River, has telephone, tele- 
 graph, and American Express offices, a hotel, store, a few shops, and about 
 75 inhabitants. 
 
 Perch River (p. o.) is a small hamlet on the river of the same name, and 
 is located in the northern part of the town. At an early day it was known 
 as Moffattville. It has telephone and express offices, a church, a few shops, 
 and about a dozen dwellings. 
 
 Pillar Point (p. o.) is located in the southern part of the town on Black. 
 River Bay, opposite Sackets Harbor. It owes its name to the appearance 
 of certain rocks along the shore in this part of the town, which the action of 
 the water has left standing, partly supported. A church, a few shops, and 
 about two dozen dwellings are located here. 
 
 Ontario Paper Co., G. W. Knowlton, president ; S. F. Bagg, vice-presi-

 wheels and two i,soo-lb. and six i,ooo-lb. engines to furnish motive power. 
 The mill has in successful operation one 86-inch and one 96-inch paper machine, 
 on which is manufactured 20 tons of news paper every 24 hours ; also eight pulp 
 and six wet machines, which turn out 16 tons of wood pulp in the same time.

 This town was first explored, with a view of settlement, by Jacob Brown,* 
 
 * Jacob Brown was born in Pennsylvania in May, 1775, of Quaker parentage. He died 
 in the city of Washineton, in February. 1828. He was first a school teacher, then a land 
 surveyor, and finally became a lawj'er. While General Hamilton was acting chief com- 
 mander of the army intended to fight the French in 1798, Brown was his secretary. He 
 settled upon lands he had purchased upon the Black River, and was the founder of Brown- 
 ville. He became a county judge, a militia general, and was placed in command of the 
 northern frontier of New York in 1812. He performed eminent service during the war, 
 and received the thanks of Congress and a gold medal. He was made general-in-chief of 
 the army in 1821. At his death his remains were buried in Congressional burying-ground.

286 TOWN OF BROWNVILLE. 
 
 afterwards a distinguished citizen, who, while teaching school in New York, 
 had met with Rodolph Tillier, the general agent for the Chassanis lands, and 
 was induced to purchase a large tract and become the agent for commenc- 
 ing a settlement, at a time when the difficulties attending such an enterprise 
 were very great. Having engaged in this business he repaired, in 1799, to- 
 the location of the French company, at the High Falls, and made several 
 journeys to Utica, when, having completed his arrangements, and collected 
 provisions at the Long Falls, he, in March, 1799, passed down the old French- 
 road, in company of three or four hired men, and happening to reach the 
 river at the mouth of Philomel Creek, he was charmed at the prospect of a 
 water-power, apparently perennial, and at once decided upon stopping here.. 
 He commenced clearing land, having sent for his father's family, who started 
 on the 22d of April, from Bucks County, Pa., and after stopping a few days 
 at New York and Schenectady, and hiring at Utica an extra boat, at length 
 arrived at the location on May 17, 1799, having been nearly three weeks on 
 the road. George Brown, a relative, came on in the same company, with a 
 part of his family, making, with the boatmen, a parly of nearly 20. The- 
 boatmen soon returned, leaving one boat that served the means of communi- 
 cation with Kingston, whence they derived most of their provisions, the stock 
 left at Long Falls having been sold. When this company had arrived the- 
 first had cleared a small piece and got up the body of a log house, 20 feet 
 square, which occupied a site in the village. The same season a log house 
 was erected, 25 by 30 feet, and two stories high. This was not completed' 
 for occupation, however, till the spring of i8or. In the fall of 1800 a saw- 
 mill was built at the mouth of Philomel Creek, the millwrights being Noah- 
 Durrin and Ebenezer Hills, and late in the fall a grist-mill was biiilt for Mr. 
 Brown by Ethni Evans, afterwards the pioneer of Evans Mills. In 1799 a 
 great number came in to look for lands, many of whom selected farms on 
 Perch River, and between that place and Brownville. Among these were 
 John VV. Collins, Richardson Avery, Nathan Parish, Horace Mathers, and 
 others. In the summer of 1800 a great number settled, and the clearings- 
 had extended from the bank of the river nearly half a mile. The first settlers 
 on Perch River incurred an obhgation to clear a certain amount of land and 
 erect a cabin. 
 
 About 1800 Jacob Brown brought to his new home a bride. Her maiden- 
 name was Pamelia Williams, daughter of Captain Judge Williams, of Williams- 
 town, a lady who proved herself in every way worthy of her distinguished hus- 
 band. During the same year Charles Welch and Otis Britton, from Remsen, 
 settled here. They took a job of chopping out a road from a point on the 
 river, at Brownville, to the ferry at Chaumont, a distance of 10 miles. They 
 began their job in November, but before it was completed a heavy fall of 
 snow came; their shoes were worn out. They could get no others, and were 
 obliged to finish their work and travel to Herkimer County, a distance of 
 more than 80 miles, in their bare feet. Before leaving, however, they assisted

 Samuel Britton, an uncle of Otis, to put up the body of a log house. By 
 some mishap Otis had his leg broken, and was drawn on an ox sled to Floyd,. 
 Charles preceding the team with his axe to clear the road. The following 
 fall Charles Welch married Eunice, daughter of Moses Cole, of Newport,, 
 and they settled in this town and commenced house -keeping in the little log 
 cabin built by the Browns and used for a smoke-house. Nathan, twin- 
 brother of Charles, came in with him, and they took up a farm in the Parish 
 neighborhood, where a son was born to Charles and Eunice, the first white 
 child born in the new town north of Black River, and named Charles. 
 Charles Welch afterwards settled on Prospect hill. 
 
 The first bridge at Brownvilie was built by Oliver Bartholomew, at the 
 mouth of Philomel Creek, in the summer of 1802, and the price, $1,000,. 
 was raised by subscription. This bridge was carried off by the great flood in 
 the spring of 1806, and was rebuilt by Mr. Bartholomew and his sons in 1807^

 The first public house in Brownvilie was built by Jeremiah Phelps, in 1805, 
 on the site of the present stone hotel. The latter was built about 1820, by 
 Henry Caswell and a Mr. Emerson, who soon afterward sold it to a company 
 made up of William Lord, H. Lawrence, W. S. Ely, E. Kirby, L Shields,, 
 and John E. Brown. In 1805 John Brown (afterwards Judge Brown) bought 
 the lands on the south side of the river and built the mills there; and in 1806- 
 the first dam was thrown across the river at that place. In 1805 Samuel 
 Starr built a log distillery down by the brook near his house, where was made 
 the first whisky in town. Nathaniel Peck married a daughter of Mr. Starr 
 and was in company with him in the manufacture of whisky; he afterwards 
 removed the distillery to what was known as the Nathaniel Peck farm. 
 
 Alexander Moffatt, or "Conkey," as he was called, was the first settler in 
 the vicinity of Limerick, about 1805. A Mr. Smith, Samuel Shelley, and 
 Isaac Day were also early settlers here. Mr. Shelley once owned a mill at 
 Limerick. 
 
 Among the early settlers in the neighborhood of Pillar Point were Horatio 
 Sprague, Eleazar Ball, Peter and Solomon Ingalls, Mr. Sherwin, Eliphalet Peck, 
 Isaac Luther, Mr. Burlingame, Daniel Ackerman, Jere. Carpenter, Jesse 
 Stone, George Rounds, James Douglass, Henry Adams, Samuel Reed, Mr.^ 
 Fulsora, Luther Reed, and Henry Ward. Samuel Knap bought and cleared 
 up 150 acres of land on the road to Limerick. Jere. Phelps, David Lyttle, 
 and Solomon Stone located at Dexter, and later Mr. Willis and Jere. Wine- 
 gar, and still later Kendall Hursley, Joshua Eaton, Jesse Babcock, Sylvanus 
 Pool, John T.Wood, James A. Bell, Solomon Moyer, John P. Shelley, and 
 others. 
 
 After the erection of Jefferson County a strenuous effort was made by Mr . 
 Brown and others to have the county buildings located here ; but a greater 
 influence was brought to bear in favor of Watertown, and that village was se-

 lected as the county seat, greatly to the disappointment of the settlers in 
 Brown ville. 
 
 In 1802 there were six frame and four log houses in the village of Brown- 
 ville. In 1807 there were in the town 81 legal voters, with proper qualifications. 
 The bounties on wolves ranged between $5 and $25 between 1806 and 1821. 
 During the same years fox bounties were from 50 cents to $2.50. In 
 1806 a bounty of $10, and in 1807 of $5, was offered for panthers. 
 
 The navigation of the mouth of Black River, up as far as Bniwnville, was a 
 subject of much importance in the early days. It was thought that by mak- 
 ing the river navigable to Brownville it would be made a port of entry for the 
 commerce of the lakes, and a shipping port for the produce of the country. 
 In i8io the legislature passed an act to improve the navigation of the mouth 
 of the river up to Brownville. With so good a harbor and port as was af- 
 forded by the bay at Sackets Harbor the project failed. June 5, i8ro, the 
 Black River Navigation Company was formed. The object of the company 
 was the construction of locks at the rapids in the river at Fish Island (now 
 Dexter). In 1815 wooden locks were built of capacity sufficient to allow 
 the passage of Durham boats. About 1828, these wooden locks having de- 
 cayed, they were replaced by stone ones. 
 
 April 10, 1810, a post route was established from Utica, by Whitestown, 
 Rome, Camden, Adams, and Sickets Harbor, to Brownville; and another 
 from Harrisburg, by Champion, Watertown, and Brownville, to Port Putnam; 
 April 30, 1816, from Brownville to Cape Vincent; June 15, 1832, from 
 Watertown, by Brownville and La Fargeville, to Cornelia, at the mouth of 
 the Fiench Creek, thence by Depiuville to Brownville. A|.ril 12, i8r6, an 
 act was passed allowing Mr. Le Ray to extend the Cape Vincent turnpike 
 road to Brownville village. By an act of April 21, 183 t, this road was sur- 
 rendered to the public. In 1817 a military road was projected to unite the 
 two prominent stations of Plattsburgh and Sackets Harbor, which was com- 
 menced, but only a portion completed. The western extremity from Sack- 
 ets Harbor passes through this town to Pamelia Four Corners. After being 
 opened by the government it passed into the hands of the town. 
 
 On the announcement of the declaration of war Brownville became the 
 seat of much activity and excitement, from its being tlie headquarters of 
 General Brown, who had the personal direction of military operations on this 
 frontier during most of the first season. A hospital was established here, 
 and troops were stationed in the village and vicinity at various times during 
 that period. The greatest alarm prevailed throughout the country upon the 
 arrival of the first tidings of war, but this soon wore away. 
 
 The inhabitants living on Perch River on receiving the news were greatly 
 alarmed, from their supposed exposure on the frontier, and some of the 
 timid ones resolved to leave the country. To dissuade them from this it was 
 proposed to build a block -house, which was forthwith done by voluntary 
 labor, but when completed only served as a storehouse for the wheat of a

 neighbor. The apprehensions soon subsided, however, and men resumed 
 their customary pursuits, except when occasional drafts, or general alarms, 
 called out the militia, or the emergencies of the service required the assem- 
 bling of teams for the transportation of the munitions of war. Prices of 
 produce were, of course, extremely high, and from the large amount of gov- 
 ernment money expended here the basis of many fortunes in the county 
 were laid at that period. 
 
 Samuel Brown, the father of Jacob Brown, resided in Bucks County, Pa., 
 on the banks of the Delaware River. He was a man of wealth, and Jacob, 
 with an older brother, was being educated at an academy in Trenton when 
 his father, through unfortunate speculation, sustained financial reverses, and 
 Jacob, at the age of i6, was obliged to leave school and become the teacher 
 of his younger brothers and sisters. He afterwards taught a large school at 
 Crosswicks, N. J., in the meantime preparing himself for his chosen profes- 
 sion of land surveyor. He spent a year as surveyor in the Miami country, 
 Ohio, thus early developing those sterling quahties of energy and self-reliance 
 that fitted him for pioneer life, as well as the arduous duties of his brilliant 
 military career. 
 
 The Brown family was now casting about to retrieve their fortunes, and 
 Jacob, as well as his father, had strong proclivities towards a home in Ohio, 
 and, with that in view, had entered into some negotiations for a tract of land 
 now the site of the city of Cincinnati. These plans were not matured, and 
 Jacob returned to New York in 1798 and took charge of a Quaker school; 
 and while thus engaged formed the acquaintance of TiUier, the agent of 
 Chassanis, and the prospect of coming into the Black River country was dis- 
 cussed. TiUier accompanied him on a visit to his father's house, and a writ- 
 ten agreement was entered into by which TiUier agreed to pay all the expense 
 of a prospecting trip, whether he purchased or not. In February, 1799, hav- 
 ing closed his school in New York, he proceeded to the French settlement 
 at the High FaUs, finding his way from Utica by marked trees. Here he 
 remained to complete his plans, making several journeys to Utica, and return- 
 ing with such supplies as would be needed in his projected trip. 
 
 In March he launched his boat upon the swollen waters of Black River 
 and floated down to Long Falls (Carthage), and thence, in company with two 
 men by the name of Chambers and Samuel Ward, and a few hired men, he 
 took the route of the " French road," so-called, which TiUier had caused to 
 be opened at the expense of the French company from the High Falls on 
 Black River to Great Bend, thence nearly direct to Clayton or French Creek. 
 Traveling this road until they thought they had gone far enough, he struck 
 off towards the river, which he reached at the Basin, one and a half mUes be- 
 low the present village of Brownville, Here he heard the sound of a waterfall 
 and followed the river up till he came to a point where a creek,* swollen by 
 
 Philomel Creek, so named by Mr. Brown from hearing the song of a bird resembling 
 the nightingale, or philomela, among the trees that skirted its banks.

 the spring freshet, poured its torrent of waters into Black River. This creek 
 did not then run in its present channel, but at a point near the present rail- 
 road bridge it made an angle, and found a channel down through Scrabble 
 Hollow into the river. A straight channel was afterwards cut through the 
 rocks to the river, as at the present day. 
 
 It was the intention of Jacob Brown to establish himself at the head of 
 navigation, and believing this creek would afford water sufficient for mills 
 and all manufacturing purposes, and the river below need but little im- 
 provement to make it navigable for boats, he determined to locate here, and 
 thus began the settlement of Brownvillc. 
 
 He first set about clearing land, and built a log cabin. In the meantime 
 he sent for his father's family, who arrived May 27, 1799, having found their 
 way by the tedious navigation of the Mohawk, Oneida Lake, and Lake On- 
 tario, pitching their tent at night on the shore and resuming their way by 
 day. When the family arrived the log house had neither roof nor floor, door 
 or window. It was built of pine logs, and a sail cloth taken from the boat 
 and stretched across the upper timbers served as a roof. The openings for 
 doors and windows were closed as well as possible by quilts and blankets. 
 In this rude domicile, 20 feet square, were gathered the 20 persons, male and 
 female, old and young, who composed this little colony. 
 
 At this time there were not more than three families within 45 miles, and 
 nothing like a settlement for 24 miles, all north of Black River being a dense 
 wilderness. The Brown family at this time consisted of Samuel Brown and 
 wife, Christopher, Jacob, John (afterwards Judge Brown), Joseph, Mary, Ben- 
 jamin, Samuel, Hannah, William (who was drowned in Lake Erie while act- 
 ing as aid to his brother, Major General Brown, during the War of 1812), 
 Abi, and Joseph. With them had come George Brown, a relative, with his 
 two sons, Henry and Thomas, aged respectively 14 and eight years. These 
 hardy pioneers endured hardships and overcame obstacles which would now 
 be considered almost impossible even to those enured to the hardest kind of 
 manual labor. Do we who are now enjoying the fruits of their toil ever stop 
 to consider how fortunate we are that we were not men and women here 100 
 years ago ? 
 
 Thomas Y. How, from Trenton, N. J., a graduate of Princeton College, 
 was one of the pioneers in this town, and brought with him his patrimony of 
 $10,000. He loaned large suras to the Browns to aid thpm in carrying on 
 their enterprises. He took up 100 acres of land on Perch River fiits, 
 which Jacob Brown engaged to clear for him. Mr. How was an agreeable 
 companion and valuable acquisition to the colony, but as a business man he 
 was not successful.

 ■Court of Connecticut. He was born at Litclifield, Conn., April 18, 1794, 
 and entered the array in 1812, as lieutenant, and served during the war upon 
 the Northern and Western frontiers. From 1815 to 1820 he was stationed at 
 Detroit, and in the latter year he joined Major-Gen. Jacob Brown at Brown- 
 ville, as an aid de-camp. From 1821 to 1823 he discharged the duties of 
 adjutant-general at Washington, and in 1824 was appointed to the pay depart- 
 ment, and again took post at Brownville. From 1832 to 1840 he was engaged 
 in the Black Hawk Creek and Seminole wars, in which he was actively em- 
 ployed, as well in the fulfillment of his duty as the exercise of humanity to 
 the sick and wounded, for whom he voluntarily encountered many dangers. 
 During the Mexican war he was chief of the pay department, and disbursed 
 many millions of dollars. A volunteer aid to General Taylor at the storming 
 of Monterey, and in like capacity to General Scott at Vera Cruz, Cerro 
 ■Gordo, Contreras, Cherubusco, Chepultepec, and the Mexican capital, he 
 was ever distinguished for courage, bravery, and devotion to his country's 
 cause. He died at Avon Springs, N. Y., August 20, 1849, and was buried 
 in Brownville cemetery with military honors, where a granite monument has 
 •been erected to his memory. Major Kirby married a daughter of General 
 Brown, and subsequently purchased his family estate in the village of Brown- 
 ville.

 Anson Potter (Hounsfield) is an example of untiring industry, a pioneer of Honnsfield, and 
 .a present citizen of most honorable standing. Anson Potter has demonstrated qualities of 
 Jiigh order, and to acquire superiority in a chosen calling has put forth unremitted exertions. 
 He was the second child in the family of John and Lydia (Holloway) Pottir, and was born in 
 North Brookfield, Mass., March 29, 1803. His father was a farmer of limited means, and came 
 with his family to Stowell's Corners, in the town of Hounsfield, in 1805; here he remained for 
 several years, and maintained his family by working as a day-laborer. About 1808 he pur- 
 chased 50 acres of land, which is a part of the farm now owned by his grandson, Newman H. 
 Potter, for which he was to pay §55 per acre; here he struggled with poverty for a number of 
 years, for the maintenance of his family, and the removal of the encumbrance upon his prop- 
 erty was a severe task; but, being a man of indomitable will and perseverance, he overcame 
 every obstacle, and to his first purchase added 100 acres, which is at this time one of the finest 
 farms in the township. As may be supposed, our subject's advantages were limited in every 
 particular, excepting the acquirement of a robust constitution and a strong pair of arms with 
 which to fight the battles incident to the settlement of anew country. As soon as able to 
 swing an axe he commenced work upon the farm, attending the district school for a fi-w weeks 
 in the winter; he, however, acquired a good common school education. When about 19 years 
 ■of age he commenced business for himself by taking jobs in clearing land, and being desir- 
 ous of securing some one to share " his joys and sorrows," he made the acquaintance of Miss 
 Abby M. Fall, whom he married September 26, 1826. Her father, Henry T. Fall, was an offi-

 eer in the Eevolutionary army, and served during the war; soon after peace was declared he 
 settled in Litchfield County, where Mrs. Potter was born, April 11, 1802. In 1811, meeting 
 with some reverses in business, he emigrated to the town of Eodman; he, however, ended hig. 
 days in the town of Brownville, at the advanced age of 96 years. 
 
 Soon after Mr. Potter's marriage he purchased about 100 acres of wild land on "big lot 
 number 36," town of Hounsfield, for which he was to pay $5 per acre. His situation at this: 
 time was certainly not an enviable one, his resources being his good wife, an axe, a pair of 
 fustian breeches, on ox team, good health, and a strong will, while his liabilities were an en- 
 cumbrance of $500 upon his farm. And now commenced the struggle for the possession of 
 his home; the land was heavily timbered, and the construction of a farm was no small task; 
 but, by degrees, field after field was added, and industi-y and frugality were rewarded, and to 
 the first purchase he added from time to time until he became the owner of over 1,000 acres of 
 fine land, 700 of which was in one body and lay in the town of Hounsfield. This magnificent 
 property was acquired, not through speculation or heirship, but by honorable toil, and Mr. 
 Potter's success as a farmer shows what can be done by industry, economy, and good execu- 
 tive ability. He now owns a beautiful farm of 200 acres, which is a monument to his thrift 
 and energy. This farm is probably one of the best in Jefferson County. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Potter have been blessed with five children, named in the order of their 
 ages: "Walter W., Newman H., Lorentine C, Lydia M., and Anson A. Walter W. is a faraoer 
 and a resident of Eaton County, Michigan ; Newman H. is one of Hounsfield's thrifty farmers, 
 and did his country good service as sergeant of Co. K, 35th New York Infantry: Anson A. is 
 living in Brownville; Lydia M. is the wife of Harrison E. Spalsbury, of Leonidas, Mich.; Lor- 
 entine C. is the wife of Chauncey W. Bates, of Polk City, Iowa. No family of children were 
 ever blessed with parents more kind or indulgent, and their parents are proud to know that 
 they are fully appreciated. Although they have outlived their alloted time, they are still in 
 the possession of good health and all their faculties, and are sustained by an implicit rehgious- 
 faith, — that of the Presbyterian Church, of which he is a " ruling elder " and a liberal patron, 
 and at whose altar they kneel, " humble recipients of its holy symbols." Mr. and Mrs. Potter 
 are exemplars of "long lives well spent," and it is the wish of their many friends that many 
 years may yet be granted them.

 CAPE VINCENT. 
 
 CAPE VINCENT was formed from Lyme, April lo, 1849, ^^d named 
 in honor of Vincent Le Ray, son of James D. Le Ray de Chauraont^ 
 the early proprietor. It is the northwest corner town of the county, 
 and embraces Carleton, Grenadier, and Fox islands. It is bounded on the 
 west and northwest by the St. Lawrence River, on the northeast by Clayton, 
 and on the southwest by Lyme. The surface of the town is level, or slightly 
 undulating, and the soil is a clayey loam. Kent's Creek, the principal stream^ 
 rises in the eastern part of the town and, flowing in a southwesterly direc- 
 tion, empties into the St. Lawrence River. There are a number of sulphur 
 springs in the town. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the hotel of Jacob Beringer, May 15, 
 1849, at which the following officers were elected: Frederick A. Folger, 
 supervisor; John W. Little, town clerk; W. H. Webb, superintendent of 
 schools ; Jacob Beringer, Augustus Awberton, and Barney W. Payne, justices 
 of the peace ; E. Clement, collector ; John H. Lawton and Adam A. Gray,

 assessors; Buel Fuller, commissioner of highways ; Francis A. Cross, over- 
 seer of the poor. 
 
 In 1880 Cape Vincent had a population of 3,143. The town is situated 
 in the third school district of Jefferson County, and in 1889 had 16 school 
 districts, in which 20 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. There were 
 726 scholars attending school, while the aggregate days attendance during 
 the year was 64,310. The total value of school buildings and sites was $1 1,- 
 360, and the assessed valuation of all the districts was $1,816,705. The 
 whole amount raised for school purposes was $6,432.27, $3,904.80 of which 
 was receved by local tax. Charles E. Whitney was school commissioner. 
 
 Cape Vincent village is pleasantly located on the St. Lawrence River, 
 and is the most important village in this town. It is the terminus of the 
 Cape branch of the R., W. & O. Railroad, and is connected with the lower 
 river towns, and with Kingston, Ont., by steamboat. The village was incor- 
 porated April 14, 1853, with a population of 1,218 within the proposed lim- 
 its, or 312^ acres. It now contains a weekly newspaper, four churches 
 {Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, and Roman Catholic), two large seed 
 houses, a brewery, planing-mill, grist-mill, a grain elevator, six hotels, one 
 large lumber yard, the usual number of stores and business houses^ and a 
 population of 1,700. It is popular and healthful as a watering-place, and 
 many illustrious personages sojourn here during the summer months. The 
 custom-house district of Cape Vincent was organized in 18 18. Previous to 
 this date Cape Vincent was only a port of entry in charge of a deputy, with 
 Sickets Harbor as the headquarters. It is now the point where the chief 
 officer is stationed, and comprises the entire coast of Jefferson County, 
 Sackets Harbor having been consolidated with the Cape Vincent district 
 March 3, 1863. The first collector was John B. Esselstyn; the present one 
 is Henry E. Morse. Before the completion of the railroad the greatest 
 amount of business was done in the winter. 
 
 St. Lawrence (p. o.) is a village of considerable local business in the 
 midst of a good farming region. It has a hotel, church, and several shops,

 tablished. The hamlet containes a union church, hotel, and a few dwellings. 
 
 RosiERE is a postoffice and station on the R., W. & O. Railroad. It is 
 quite a thriving hamlet, and contains a Catholic Church, a store, and a small 
 number of dwellings. 
 
 French Settlement is the name given to a locality near the central part 
 of the town. It was originally settled by Americans, who gradually disposed 
 of their lands to a French colony which was induced to come to this town 
 through the influence of Mr. Le Ray. After the French a company of 
 Germans appeared and made themselves neighbors. The colonies were both

 The A B. Cleveland Company {Limited),\ocsXtdi in Cape Vincent village, 
 was established in 1879 by Artie B. Cleveland. In 1887 a large addition to 
 the buildings was erected to accommodate a vegetable canning department, 
 and for the preparation of garden and field seeds, and for wholesale and 
 retail trade. The establishment has a capacity for handling annually 100,000 
 bushels of vegetables, and cans about 1,000,000 cans of peas, beans, corn, 
 and tomatoes. The establishment is one of the largest of ils kind in the 
 United States. It is now under the management of Jordon, Thurber & 
 Gallandet, trustees, and Henry T. Hopkins is superintendent.

 Cape Vincent village. They do a flourishing busmess, and their seeds main- 
 tain an excellent reputation. 
 
 The St. Lawrence Hotel is a magnificent brick structure occupying a po- 
 sition in the center of Cape Vincent village. It was erected in 1884, by 
 H. J. Crevalin, at a cost of about $100,000, and was subsequently sold to 
 satisfy several mortgages and liens against the property. In 1887 Edwin D. 
 Fox purchased the property and is the present proprietor. It will comfort- 
 ably accommodate 300 guests, and is one of the most popular of the river 
 hotels. 
 
 R. S. Scobells brewery, at Cape Vincent village, was built by the pres- 
 ent proprietor in 1852. It has an annual capacity of 6,000 barrels.

 the town, was built by the present proprietor in 1883 at a cost of $1,500. 
 Mr. Cornaire manufactures annually about 60,000 pounds of cheese. 
 
 Peter Fraley's saw, shingle, and grist mill, located on road 51, was built 
 by the present proprietor in 1886. He does a thriving local business. 
 
 This town is the oldest in settlement in the county, Carleton Island having 
 been occupied by a British fort for a long period before the adjacant country 
 had been purchased and colonized. The island was reserved by the state in 
 their cession to Macomb. A military bounty, or class-right, was issued to 
 William Richardson, a sergeant in the New York line of the Revolutionary 
 war. Matthew Watson and WilHam Guilland became the purchasers of this 
 right, and on the 2d of October, 1786, located the same on Carleton Isl- 
 and, generally. The land commissioners sanctioned this location, but in- 
 serted the condition that it should be void if the island, in the division, should 
 fall to Canada. Guilland sold his right to Watson, who died leaving three 
 children, John, Margaret, and Jane, two of whom (John and Jane) died with- 
 out issue, leaving their sister Margaret their heir-at-law, who married one 
 Jacob Ten Broeck, and these sold their right to Charles Smyth. The mat- 
 ter of this sale and title was brought to the notice of the state legislature in 
 1821, when it was found that the title to the land covered by the military 
 bounty was not good. The British held the island when Richardson sold 
 
TOWN OF CAPE VINCENT. 3H 
 
 his right, and continued to hold it till it was surrendered, at the connmence- 
 ment of the War of i8[2. By special legislation the title was made a legal 
 one, and on March 2, 1821, an act was passed directing a patent to be issued 
 for the amount of land designated as the original military bounty. This was 
 500 acres on the west end of the island. In 1823 F. R. Hasler made a sur- 
 vey of Carleton Island and reported an area of 1,274 acres. At the time of 
 this survey there was about 30 acres of old improved land near the south 
 shore, called the " King's garden." 
 
 In 1823 Grenadier Island was surveyed and the area put down as 1,290 
 acres. In 1803 Samuel English and Hezekiah Barret petitioned the legisla- 
 ture of New York for the grant of Grenadier Island, which they evidently 
 supposed belonged to the state, and which they proposed to settle within 12 
 months after such grant was made ; but no good title could be given until 
 the national boundary line had been agreed upon. This was done in 1819, 
 and the islands were patented soon after. John Mitchel was probably the 
 first settler here. There is good reason to believe that the island was visited 
 by French explorers more than 100 years before the settlement of the county. 
 La Salle and Count Frontenac undoubtedly visited this island. In 1813 
 General Wilkinson, with several thousand men, started out from Sackets 
 Harbor with the ultimate purpose of capturing Montreal. It was the inten- 
 tion of this army, fully equipped with heavy and light artillery, to rendezvous 
 at Grenadier Island. They started out about dusk, with flags and banners 
 waving, all filled with confidence in the success of the expedition — full of 
 enthusiasm, it is said, and bad whisky. All went well until a little after raid- 
 night, when a storm arose which completely wrecked the fleet of scows, bat- 
 teaux, sail-boats, etc., in which the army was embarked, and it was four days 
 before all the survivors reached Basin Harbor, with an immense loss of am- 
 munition and supphes. Some of the boats were driven to Wolf Island, some 
 to Chaumont Bay, and others stood off for Kingston after working out into 
 the lake. On the way to Cape Vincent from Grenadier, General Wilkinson 
 encountered similar difficulties. He had a small fight with the British near 
 Clayton, and again encountered the enemy below Ogdensburg. And then 
 what was left of the flotilla went into winter quarters on the banks of the 
 Salmon River. On account of the mismanagement of this expedition Gen- 
 eral Wilkinson was court-martialed and removed from command. 
 
 No spot in this vicinity has excited more historical curiosity than the head 
 of Carleton Island, where now can be seen the conspicuous ruins of the old 
 fort— Fort Haldimand. At the head of the island are two land-locked bays, 
 with a depth of water sufficient to accommodate large vessels, and beyond is 
 a low peninsula. On the high bluff overlooking the river is the ancient forti- 
 fication, which, at the time of its completion, was a first-class work. Five of 
 the massive stone chimneys are still standing, and deep excavations in the 
 rock, probably used for magazines or secret storage, are very noticeable. It 
 overlooked the Httle peninsula and the two harbors below, and effectually

 commanded both the channels of the St. Lawrence lying south of Wolf Island. 
 The gorge, or rear wall, was mostly formed by the high cliff at its base, which, 
 for about one-half of its length, hangs nearly perpendicular over the waters 
 of the north bay. Excavations at the base of the first shoulder of the cliff 
 would seem to indicate magazines or store-rooms, though the main magazine 
 was located a little north of the center of the work. The front, looking 
 towards the main land of the island, was defended by a somewhat irregular 
 line of earth-works, with a sohd parapet having three unequal faces, with a 
 strong bastion on each face, calculated for four guns, and there were guns 
 mounted at intervals between the bastions. The ditch was excavated through 
 rock to a depth of six feet. A zigzag wall, built of stone taken from the 
 ditch, ran along the front, parallel to and distant from the outer wall of the 
 ditch about 30 feet, and the glacis was formed of debris of the ditch filled 
 in beyond, making the approach of an enemy exceedingly difficult, the whole 
 glacis and ditch being under direct fire from the guns of the parapet. The 
 quarters appear to have been built along three sides of a parallelogram, and 
 a low wall of loose stone inclosed the space between on the south and east 
 sides of the quadrangle. Originally there were about 15 buildings within 
 the work, as indicated by the immense chimneys^ five only of which remain 
 standing. These chimneys were very solidly constructed of hammered stone, 
 and were about six feet square at the base and 20 feet high. Most, if 
 not all, of the chimneys were constructed with two fire-places, and in opposite 
 faces, with double flues. There were two gatewa3S, one near each extremity, 
 on the north and south, connecting with roads leading down to the landings. 
 The lime-kiln used in manufacturing the lime with which the chimneys were 
 constructed was on the plain near the water's edge, and can be seen yet. 
 The fort, including the ditch, probably covered an area of from eight to 10 
 acres, and could accommodate a garrison of 500 men. It was accord- 
 ing to the system of Vauban, and must have cost an immense sum. The 
 cemetery was on the plain east of the works, but very little remains of 
 the head-stones at the present day. The relics found in and around the 
 works consist of buttons, coins, tomahawks, flints, etc. Pieces of wrecked 
 vessels are distinguished, on a still day, at the bottom of the river in the north 
 bay. There is a sunken dock on the west side, and some little distance in 
 the rear are the broken and almost obliterated graves of the soldiers' ceme- 
 tery. When Charles Smyth obtained possession of the island, about 1820, 
 many of the burial-places were still marked by carved oaken pieces of wood, 
 but when Dr. Hough published his History of Jefferson County, 1854, he 
 found only one grave that was indicated by a head-stone, on which was the 
 following : " J. Farrar, D. 23 Fy. 1792." The oldest coin ever found was 
 dated 1696. 
 
 There has always been considerable doubt whether the French or English 
 built the fort, but in the history of Carleton Island and the Old Fort recently 
 pubhshed by Major J. H. Durham, of Cape Vincent, is a letter written Oc- 
 
TOWN OF CAPE VINCENT. 313 
 
 lober 14, 1778, by Gen. Sir Frederick Haldimand, who succeeded Sir Guy 
 Carleton in command of His Majesty's forces in Canada, whicii proves conclu- 
 sively that the fort was built by the English in that year. In his letter to his 
 ■commander in England he says he has sent several officers and their compa- 
 nies of soldiers to establish a " post at the entrance of Lake Ontario, to serve 
 the purpose of a safe place for the traders to send their goods to, which go 
 from Montreal in boats, till the king's vessels, now the only craft allowed to 
 navigate the lakes, can be spared from the more urgent services to transport 
 them to Niagara, a secure harbor for these vessels, and a defense against the 
 enterprises of the rebels upon this province by that great avenue into it." 
 He also writes that he has sent an officer to build gunboats, and says: " The 
 place pitched upon by these gentlemen, after having been carefully examined, 
 is an island about 12 mlies below the entrance of Lake Ontario, having Grand 
 Isle (now Wolfe) on one side, from which it is divided by a channel of some- 
 thing less than a mile, and the south continent on the other, at a distance of 
 ■one mile and a quarter from it." He also states "the name of Carleton Isl- 
 and is now given to this in question. Very favorable ground for fortifying, 
 •commanding a commodious and safe harbor which the island possesses at the 
 upper end of it looking toward the lake, induced the gentlemen sent on this 
 ■service to fix upon this spot, where a fort is begun, and barracks are building 
 'for the troops, and the place will be in a tolerable state of defense and habita- 
 tion by the winter." As will be seen by this letter, there is no longer any 
 •doubt who built the fort or when it was built. It was named Fort Haldi- 
 /raand, after the general who ordered it constructed. 
 
 In 1796 Fort Haldimand was defended by a small British guard and six 
 ■pieces of cannon. In 1812, as soon as the news reached Cape Vincent that 
 a second war had been declared against Great Britian by the American Con- 
 rgress, Abner Hubbard, an old Revolutionary soldier living at Milieu's Bay, au- 
 thorized himself and several of his neighbors to capture the fort. They 
 'Crossed over the river in the night and demanded its surrender. Two women 
 -and three invalid men surrendered. The following day the fort was destroyed 
 and the prisoners taken to Sackets Harbor. Immediately adjoining the ruins 
 of the old fort, and lying clear across the head of the island from shore to 
 ■shore, a plot of ground of more than 100 acres has been surveyed, and a 
 park laid out. Messrs. Folger and Hance, the present owners, contemplate 
 the erection of a large hotel, and the locality once the scene of warlike prep- 
 •arations against Fort Stanwix, Cherry Valley, and Fort Edward, and the 
 meetings of the mighty Iroquois chiefs who here assembled thier followers 
 ■and prepared for their sanguinary raids, will give place to the beauties and 
 pleasures of a summer resort among the Thousand Islands. 
 
 The earliest settlement on the main land in this town was made by Abijah 
 Putnam, from Rome, who, in 1801, located two miles below the present vil- 
 lage of Cape Vincent, at a place early known as " Port Putnam," where he 
 established the first ferry to Wolf Island. He was sent there for the purpose

 by Jacob Brown, the agent of Le Riy. One Samael Cone settled on the op- 
 posite shore of the island at the sanae time. In 1803 the State road was ex- 
 tended from Brownville to this place, and cut out and partly worked in the 
 winter of 1803-04. In 1804 John Macombs and Peter Sternberg purchased 
 Putnam's interest, laid out the plan of a village, and sold a few lots. In 
 Miy, 1803, John B. Esselstyn settled three miles belo'.v the present village of 
 Cape Vincent. Daniel Spinning came in 1804, and soon after two families- 
 
 by the name of Smith. Jonathan Cumraings, Sheldon, and others located 
 
 near the place. In i8o6 Richird M Esselstyn settled near Putnam's ferry 
 with his brother. In the summer of 1809 Eber Kelsey came to the present 
 village of Cape Vincent, and cleared for Mr. Le Riy, the proprietor, a tract 
 of 50 acres, erected a wharf, block, divelling house and tavern, a frame barn,, 
 etc., and the same season Richard V[. E-isalstyn built a house and store, and: 
 commenced trade with John B., under the firm name of J. B. & R. M. Es- 
 selstyn. Dr. Avery Ainsworth, the first physician to settle in this part of the 
 county, came from Vermont in 1809, and the same year built a house and 
 store here. Mr. Le Rav, from an early period, designed Cape Vincent, or 
 " Gravelly Point," as it was sometimes called by the pioneers, as the site of 
 a village, and in 181 1 a mile square was surveyed and lotted by Musgrove- 
 Evans, one of the surveyors employed by Le Ray. 
 
 In 1809 an extensive lumbering business was commenced in this town,, 
 which gave employment to many men and brought a transient population to- 
 the place. A large business was done in importing staves in 18 10, and also- 
 the building of arks for the Montreal trade, which was continued in i8[i. 
 The War of i8[2 necessitated the discontinuance of this business, and the- 
 lumber on hand was mostly used as fuel by Wilkinson's army. The business, 
 was not continued until the close of the war. The news of the war spread 
 terror throughout the settlement, and this point being nearest to Kingston 
 was considered of much importance by General Brown, upon whom the care 
 of the early military operations of this place was laid. Capt. Farrar had been, 
 stationed here with a small company of militia to enforce the embargo laid 
 in 18 1 2. 
 
 A few days after war had been declared, but before the news was received, 
 the Niagara and Ontario, schooners, laden with flour and potash, from' 
 Queenstown to Brockville, were seized by Mr. Elijah Fields, Jr., deputy col- 
 lector at Cape Vmcent, and taken to Sackets Harbor, where, after an inves- 
 tigation, the iV/a^ara was condemned and sold, and the Ontario vis.s released. 
 
 During the war, this being the most exposed point on the whole frontier, 
 and one of the few places then inhabited on the river, it became the scene of 
 adventures that attracted notice at the time. On one occasion, probably in 
 the summer of 1813, a man by the name of Draper, who belonged to Capt, 
 Getman's company, obtained permission from Col. Dodge, of Sackets Har- 
 bor, to raise a party of volunteers from the company, to dislodge a party of 
 Indians that had been discovered lurking on Wolf Island. A gunboat, under 
 
TOWN OF CAPE VINCENT. 315 
 
 Capt.Hawkins, having touched at the Cape, agreed to take them over, but not 
 to take part in the affair. As the boat approached a gun was fired which put 
 the Indians to flight. They were pursued about a mile, when Draper care- 
 lessly exposed himself to the shots of the enemy and was killed. Two oth- 
 ers were slightly wounded, when the party hastily returned. 
 
 A little before the attack on Sackets Harbor a British gunboat touched at 
 Cape Vincent in the night, and a part of the crew, having heard of the pres- 
 ence of three dragoons, who had put up for the night from Sackets Harbor, 
 resolved upon their capture. One of the dragoons, named Moore, who was 
 an accomplished fencer, retreated to a corner of the room and kept off his 
 assailants so effectually that, finding it impossible to take him ahve, they shot 
 him, a most cowardly act and one unworthy of a true soldier. His comrades 
 escaped. Two weeks later another visit was made, a store plundered, and 
 temporary barracks burned. Subsequent visits for plunder followed, and 
 many of the inhabitants sought a less exposed situation. 
 
 The Royal George, a British war ship of 24 gun's and three masts, once 
 stopped at Cape Vincent, but withdrew without making any demonstration. 
 Major Esselstyn was taken prisoner near Chaumont, August 23, 1813, was 
 removed to Canada, and two weeks later was exchanged for a British officer 
 of equal rank. 
 
 The Patriot movement in 1838, when a number of deluded persons of the 
 United States and Canada organized for the purpose of freeing Canada from 
 British rule, caused considerable excitement in this locality. Hunter lodges 
 were organized, secret meetings were held, and among the initiated a myste- 
 rious sign-language was used. The robbery of the arsenal at Watertown, 
 the burning of the Sir Robert Peel nssx Wells Island, the memorable trip of 
 the United States across the lake and down the river, when the Patriots gath- 
 ered at Windmill Point, and the disastrous end of the expedition are matters 
 of historical interest previously mentioned in the County Chapter. Daniel 
 George, one of the patriots who suffered the death penalty, was a resident of 
 Cape Vmcent village. 
 
 During the civil war Cape Vincent contributed her full quotas. The quota 
 under the call of October 17, 1863, was 44; under that of February i, 1864, 
 it was 70; March 14, 28; July 18, 50; December 19, 40. At a meeting of 
 the citizens held August 6, 1862, a permanent war committee was appointed, 
 which continued till 1865. In February, 1865, the committee reported that 
 $235.85 still remained in its hands unexpended, of the moneys raised to pay 
 bounties, which was used by the committee in providing for the families of vol- 
 unteers. At a special town meeting held January 12, 1864, it was voted (263 
 for and 52 against) to tax the town sufficiently to pay a bounty of $300 to each 
 person who should thereafter volunteer into the service of the United States 
 and be credited to Cape Vincent. Previous to the appointment of this war 
 committee the volunteers received little or no bounty, although small sums 
 were given them by individuals as they left home, and they went under the

 Stimulation of a patriotism that no one could lay to the charge of green- 
 backs. Through the efforts of the women of the town several hundred dol- 
 lars were raised for the purpose of establishing a " Soldiers' Relief Fund." 
 Several cows and sheep were donated for the benefit of this relief fund, and 
 on the occasion of festivals given by the ladies were sold. 
 
 Previous to 1816 the settlements in the town were limited to a few points 
 on the river ; but about this time the country around about began to be 
 taken up, new roads were opened, and the country rapidly advanced in pop- 
 ulation. About this time several educated and accomplished French fami- 
 lies located here, among whom, in 1818, was Peter Francis Real, known in 
 European history as Count Real, the chief of police under Napoleon. The 
 political changes in France, in a few years, recalled many celebrated exiles 
 who had adhered to the fortunes of Napoleon, and fled from the disasters 
 which overtook that dynasty, among whom were Count Real and others who 
 had made this country their home. At about the same time Mr. F. R. 
 Hasler, the eminent philosopher and engineer, having become interested in 
 real estate in this place, came here to reside with his family, and planned the 
 establishment of a Normal school, which he never perfected. The village 
 was a favorite resort of Mr. Le Ray, and he was often accompanied by emi- 
 nent foreigners, who never visited the county without becoming his guests, 
 and sharing that refined hospitality which he knew so well how to bestow. 
 The first visit of Le Ray to this place was in 1803, and was attended with 
 the following incident, the account of which we take from Hough's History 
 of Jefferson County : — • 
 
 " He waB accompanied by Gouverneur Morris, and after visiting Brownville they took an 
 open boat to continue their journey, as Mr. Morris had a wooden leg, and could not conven- 
 iently travel in the woods by the rude means of communication which the country then 
 afforded, and he was moreover very partial to sailing, and claimed to be especially skillful 
 in managing water craft. On passing Cherry Island Mr. Morris observed that there must be 
 iine fishing there, and as he had with him his French cook and culinary apparatus, he de- 
 clared he woulcj serve his friend a better fish dinner than he had ever tasted. Mr. Le Eay 
 objected that it was getting late and cloudy, and they had a great ways to run before reaching 
 Putnam's, the first settlement on the shore. Nothmg would do: Mr. Morris was as fond of 
 good cheer as of sailing, and they stopped. They had good fishing, and a capital dinner; but 
 it was late before they set sail again and dark before they reached the St. Lawrence, and they 
 were obliged to stop at Gravelly Point, two miles above Putnam's, where they pitched their 
 tent and went to bed, for they had all the necessary implements. In the middle of the night 
 a fire built before the tent set it in flames; Mr. Morris, thus unseasonably disturbed, felt all 
 around for his wooden leg, but was obliged to flee without it. The exposure to wind and rain 
 produced in Mr. Le Kay a violent illness, and he with difftoulty returned to Brownville. Dr, 
 Kirkpatrick was summoned from Eome and attended him thiough a long and dangerous 
 fever." 
 
 The first grist-mill in the town was built on Kent's Creek. Previous to 
 its erection the early settlers were obliged to have their grain ground at Chau- 
 mont, and it was not an uncommon feat for the hardy pioneers to shoulder 
 a bushel of corn and carry it to Chaumont, and bring home their meal in the 
 same manner.

 bers in that part of the town. The Methodists around Millen's Bay are con- 
 sidered as members of the M. E. Church at St. Lawrence village. These two 
 societies occupy the church on alternate Sundays. Their house of worship, a

 CHAMPION. 
 
 CHAMPION was formed from Mexico, March 14, 1800. A part of 
 Harrisburgh was taken off in 1803. It is the central town on the 
 southeast border of the county. The surface is broken and hilly. 
 The most elevated portions are the hills in the south angle (known as the 
 "peak"), which are about 1,700 feet above tide water. From their summits 
 the land descends in a series of broken and irregular terraces to Black River. 
 The north part is more level. The soil is generally a clay loam, but near 
 the river in some places it is sandy. The town was No. 4, or " Howard," of 
 the eleven towns. It fell to the share of Harrison and Hoffman, and by them 
 was sold to Gen. Henry Champion, of Colchester, Conn., in whose honor it 
 was named, and Lemuel Storrs. It is bounded on the north and east by 
 Black River, which separates it from the towns of Wilna and Le Ray, south- 
 east by Lewis County, and west by Rutland. It is watered by numerous 
 small streams, the principal ones being Townsend and Deer Lick creeks, the 
 former of which is in the western part of the town and the latter in the cen- 
 tral part, both emptying into Black River. In the south part of the town is 
 Pleasant Lake, the outlet of which empties into Black River just south of 
 West Carthage village. The town was surveyed in 1797 by Moses and Ben- 
 jamin Wright, the former subdividing and the latter surveying around it. 
 
 The town was organized and the first town meeting held April i, 1800, at 
 which the following officers were elected: Noadiah Hubbard, supervisor; 
 Eli Church, clerk; Timothy Pool, David Coffeen, and William Hadsall, 
 assessors; Ephraim Chamberlain, constable and collector ; John Ward and 
 Reuben Rockwood, overseers of the poor; Solomon Ward, Amaziah Parker 
 and Elihu Jones, commissioners of highways ; Daniel Coffeen, WiUiam 
 Crowell, Timothy Pool, and Moses Goodrich, overseers of highways ; Levi 
 Barns, fence viewer; Bela Hubbard, poundmaster. 
 
 In iSio the town had 210 families and 1,471 inhabitants. There were 53 
 framed houses, 157 log houses, 79 framed barns, three stores, two distilleries, 
 nine school-houses, one clothier's works, a carding machine, four grist-mills, 
 eight saw-mills, and a brewery. A writer of 1813 says: "The inhabitants 
 
 22* 
 
338

 are very industrious and thriving ; * * *' in no country so recently set- 
 tled have I ever seen such a spirit of improvement, or more of sober and 
 Tjersevering industry, with so good roads — the veins and arteries of public 
 and private prosperity." 
 
 Spafford's Gazetteer, published in 1824, says of this town in 1820 :— 
 "There is a small village at the head of Long Palls, opposite Carthage, of Wilna, where 
 there is a bridge over the Black Biver ; and near the center of the town is Champion -rillage, 
 where are a few dwellings, a church, two stores, a school-house, and the postoffice, 77 miles 
 north of TJtica. Population, 2,080; taxable property, $146,358; school districts, H: electors, 
 387; 2.442 cattle, 565 horses, 4,562 sheep; 21,179 yards of cloth made in families in 1821; six 
 grist-mills, five saw-mills, four fulling-miUs, three carding machines, four distilleries, and 
 two asheries." 
 
 In i88o Champion had a population of 2,259. The town is located in 
 the second school district of Jefferson County, and in 1889 had 16 school 
 ■districts of which three were joint, in which 18 teachers were employed 28 
 weeks or more. There were 482 scholars attending school, and the aggre- 
 gate days attendance during the year was 45,104. The total value of school 
 buildings and sites was $9,280, while the assessed valuation of all the dis- 
 tricts was $1,197,344. The whole amount received for school purposes was 
 $4,867.17, $2,653.55 of which was received by local tax. Truman C. Gray 
 was school commissioner. 
 
 West Carthage is a village situated in the extreme western part of 
 the town, on Black River. This village was incorporated March 18, 1889, 
 and the following were the first officers elected : Marcus P. Mason, presi- 
 ident ; L. W. Babcock, Philip Hull, and S. G. Van Pelt, trustees; Charles 
 A. Beyer, treasurer ; Charles Jones, collector ; W. B. Van Allen, clerk ; 
 Pierre De Peyster, street commissioner. The village now contains one pulp- 
 mill, a sash and blind factory, two tub and pail factories, one furniture man- 
 ufactory, one tannery, grist-mill, saw-mill, wood turning shop and planing- 
 mill, one hotel (temperance), one church (Congregational), a district school 
 with three departments, a wagon and blacksmith shop, one drug and grocery 
 store, a grocery and notion store, a general store, two greenhouses, a meat 
 market, photograph gallery, and about 1,000 inhabitants. A knitting fac- 
 tory was in operation here until the spring of 1889, when it was discontinued. 
 It did a prosperous business with a pay-roll aggregating $1,200 per month. 
 
 Champion (p. o.) village, located in the central part of the town, contains 
 one hotel, a general store, three churches (Episcopal, Congregational, and 
 Methodist Episcopal), a cheese factory, blacksmith shop, telegraph, telephone, 
 and express offices, and a population nf about 200. 
 
 Great Bend (p. o.) is a hamlet in the northern part of the town, on Black 
 River. It contains a paper-mill where wall paper is manufactured, a gen- 
 eral store, two hotels (one being in Le Ray), the usual complement of shops, 
 two churches (Methodist Episcopal and Episcopal), telegraph, telephone, and 
 express offices, and about 300 inhabitants.

 South Champion (p. o.) is a small hamlet in the southern part of the 
 town. 
 
 The Great Bend Paper and Pulp Company, whose establishment is located 
 on the south bank of the Black River at Great Bend, was incorporated in 
 1868, with George W. Clark as its president. Its stockholders at the time 
 of incorporation were George W. Clark, Heman Burr, and Lewis H. Mills. 
 The purpose for which it was organized was the manufacture of straw-board, 
 but after a lapse of five years Mr. Clark and Mr. Mills purchased Mr. Burr's 
 interest, when they manufactured what is termed " brown hanging paper," 
 which was composed largely of straw at first, but subsequently the straw was 
 discarded^and rags substituted. In April, 1887, Mr. Clark died and the prop- 
 erty passed into the hands of Mr. Mills, who continued the business until 
 February, 1888, when the mill was sold to F. A. Fletcher, of Watertown. Its 
 present owners are F. A. Fletcher, Ida A. Fletcher, F. X. Zapf, and E. H. 
 Thompson. The capital stock of the company is $50,000. It gives employ- 
 ment to 26 hands, and manufactures about four tons of paper and three tons 
 of pulp per day. 
 
 The Champion village cheese factory, William E. Bellinger, proprietor, was 
 built in 1864 by George C. Freeman. It has the patronage of 450 cows, 
 receives about 1,080,000 pounds of milk for the season, from which is made 
 108,000 pounds of cheese valued at $9,720. 
 
 The McNitt cheese factory, situated on the Copenhagen and Watertown 
 road, in the southern part of the town, two and a-half miles from Copenha- 
 gen, was built by the McNitt Brothers in 1870. It receives the milk from 
 300 cows, and makes 80,000 pounds of cheese annually, which is valued at 
 about $7,200. 
 
 The G. Searl cheese factory was built by Nathaniel Whitney in 1864, and is 
 located at South Champion. It receives the milk from 300 cows and makes 
 about 97,750 pounds of cheese annually, valued at $8,793. 
 
 The Hadsall &> Moore cheese factory, situated three miles west of Cham- 
 pion village, on road 23, was built in the spring of 187 1, by its present pro- 
 prietors. It has the patronage of 450 cows, receives about 1,259,137 pounds 
 of milk annually, and manufactures about 123,153 pounds of cheese valued 
 at $11,083. 
 
 The Babcock cheese factory, situated two miles north of Champion, is one 
 of the oldest in the county, being built by William P. Babcock in 1862. It 
 has the patronage of 400 cows, receives about 1,320,000 pounds of milk dur- 
 ing the season, from which is made 132,000 pounds of cheese valued at 
 $11,880. Mrs. E. M. Greenfield has made the cheese ever [since the fac- 
 tory was built." 
 
 0. K. cheese factory was built in 1889, by E. H. Olmstead and F. A. 
 Knapp. It receives the milk from 500 cows, and manufactures from 10 to 
 12 cheeses per day.

 The following regarding the commencement of settlements in the town of 
 Champion is an extract from a letter written by Noadiah Hubbard to Dr. 
 F. B. Hough, in June, 1853, and published in Hough's History of Jefferson 
 County, page 121 : — 
 
 " De. F. B. Hough, Dear Sir : As you requested some montha sinoe, I now transmit to 
 you a few of my recollections of the early settlement of this county. * * * i have not very 
 many records of those early days, * * * yet some I have, and when I give you dates at all 
 they are from memoranda made at the time. 
 
 " I first came to this town, Champion, in the year 1797, with Lemuel Storrs, a large land- 
 holder, when he came on for the first time to view his purchase. I was then residing 
 in Steuben, in what is now Oneida County, but then, or shortly before, Herkimer. Mr. Storrs 
 then hired several packmen, whose business it was to carry the necessary provisions for the 
 expedition on their backs. This was late in the autumn. We traveled on foot by what was 
 called the French road to the High Falls on Black Kiver. This road had been cut for 
 the accommodation of the French refugees who had made a settlement at High Falls, and 
 had then a log city. Many of these French belonged to the nobility of France, who were 
 obliged to abandon their country during the revolution in 1793, but who were afterwards per- 
 mitted to return when the star of empire rose upon the Bonapartes. Their settlement 
 was made upon what was called the French tract, on the north and east side of Black Eiver, 
 and extending a great distance. From the High Falls we descended the river in a boat to the

 rapids, called Long Falls, now known as Carthage. Here we landed, and in two days 
 explored the township, then an unbroken wilderness. On our way down Silas Stow, then a 
 young man, and afterwards known as Judge Stow, of Lowville, joined us. On the third day 
 we reembarked and proceeded up the river, and it was two days hard rowing to get back again 
 to the High Falls. As I believe I before mentioned, it was late in November, and the night 
 we were obhged to be out we encountered a severe snow storm. To protect ourselves in some 
 measure we made a shanty by setting up some crotchets, and laying on poles, and covering 
 them with hemlock boughs. * * * 
 
 ■■' In due time we arrived safe and well in Steuben, where I passed the winter. Mr. Storrs 
 offered me very liberal inducements to come on here and commence a settlement; so liberal 
 that I determined to accept them, though I may say in passing, and then dismiss the subject 
 forever, that he failed to fulfill his liberal offers. But in consideration of those offers I left 
 my home in Steuben the 1st of June, 1798, and started for this place, accompanied by Salmon 
 Ward and David Starr, with 15 head of cattle. We traveled again upon the French road as far 
 as it availed us. This township had been surveyed the year before by Ben j amin and Moses Wright 
 and this year Mr. Storrs had engaged Benjamin Wright to survey Hounsfield, and on his way 
 there he was to mark a road to this place, and to precede me. I met the surveyors agreeably 
 to appointment at a Mr. Hoadley's, and from there we came on to what is called Turin Four 
 Corners. There was only one log house there then. From there we went west about 30 or 40 
 rods to Zaocheus Higby's. There we laid down our maps and consulted them, and came to the 
 conclusion to take from thence a north course. Tliis led us up on to the top of a hill, now known 
 as Tug Hill. We were entirely ignorant of the face of the country, and of the most eligible 
 route to pursue, and therefore took the one which seemed the most direct, not knowing the 
 obstacles to be encountered. We had before come down by water, and on this route there was 
 not even a marked tree. It was the duty of the surveyors to precede us, mark a road, and 
 chain it. Mr. Wright started in advance of us for this purpose. It was a beautiful, clear 
 morning and we followed on, progressing finely until the middle of the afternoon, when we 
 came to a great gulf, and an abundance of marked trees. We went over the gulf, but could 
 find no more trees marked. We then made afire and took out the stoppings from our bells, and 
 suffered our cattle to feed around the fire, while we set ourselves to search for marked trees, 
 over the gulfs and up and down, but could find no place to cross, or marks by which to deter- 
 mine what course the surveyors had taken. In this predicament we prepared to construct a 
 shelter for the night of hemlock boughs, &c. 
 
 " The next morning the sun came up clear and bright, and I called a council. I told the 
 men how much damage it would be to me to return, how great a loss not to proceed, and asked 
 them if they were willing to come on. David Starr replied that he would go to h — 1 if I would. 
 Though no way desirous of going to the latter place, even in good company, I determined to 
 come on, if such a thing were possible, without a compass or guide. We then set ourselves to 
 work, and felled trees, with which we made an enclosure, into which we drove our cattle, and 
 then shoved them down the precipice, one after another; they went up slantingly on the other 
 side, and much better than we got them down, so that finally they were all safely over, after 
 much toil and trouble. I then agreed to pilot the company down, took off the ox-bell and car- 
 ried it in my hand, lef.ding the way, and steered a north course by the sun and watch. We 
 had the advantage of a bright sunshine. We had to cross a number of gulfs and one windfall, 
 which was the worst of all. We continued to travel upon the summit of the hill, where we 
 found much fine table-land. The cattle would travel as fast as I could lead the way. One 
 man drove them, and another followed, axe in hand, to mark the trees, and leave traces 
 behind us, so that if we could not advance we could retrace our steps. 
 
 " We descended the hill before reaching Deer Eiver. The latter we struck and crossed 
 above the falls, — not far from where the village of Copenhagen now stands, — and, coming on, 
 Tu succeeded in finding the town line, which was identified by marked trees. * * * We 
 then changed our course, following the line to the Black River, at Long Falls, where we ar- 
 rived before night. We there found Mr. Wright and his men. They had not arrived more 
 than an'hour before us. When seeing us Mr. Wright exclaimed, ' How, in the name of God, 
 have you got here ? ' I replied, ' You scoundrel ! You ought to be burnt for leaving us so ! ' 
 It was a most rascally piece of business, their leaving us as they did. But I suppose the truth 
 was, they thought it impossible for us ever to get through with our cattle. * * * 
 
 " My boat, which I had dispatched from High Falls, soon after arrived with my provisions.

 yokes, chains, cooking utensils, &c., &a. The next day we left one to watch our effects, while 
 the others were searching for a desirable location. In a fewdays I selected the farm upon which 
 I now live, principally for the reason that it was the center of the township, rather than for 
 any peculiar advantages it possessed over other portions of the town. * * * Not one tree 
 had been cut here for the purpose of making a settlement, nor was there a white man settled 
 in what is now the county of Jefferson, when I came here. I was the first white settler in the 
 county. I remained here through the summer, and until October, engaged in making a clear- 
 ing. We then returned to Steuben, where my family was, to spend the winter. 
 
 " During the summer some families had come into Lowville, and Mr. Storrs had caused a 
 road to be marked from there to the Long Falls, and by that we returned, driving our cattle home 
 again. * * * I found a living spring of pure water, a few rods before where the public 
 house in this place now stands, which had its influence in deciding my location. Near it I 
 built my first house, and there I kept ' bachelor's hall ' two summers, being myself ' chief cook.' 
 My first habitation was a cabin, erected in a few hours' time, with the aid of my men. It was 
 a rude structure, but served our purpose. * * * 
 
 " Early in the spring, 1799, I sent on two men to make sugar, before I came on myself. 
 They commenced making sugar, and one day went out hunting, leaving their sugar boiling. 
 The consequence was, the house took fire and burned down, with all of the little it contained. 
 During the winter the Indians had stolen all the cooking utensils I had left, and the potatoes 
 which I had raised and buried the autumn before. I came on soon after. This spring Esqnire 
 Mix and family came on ; John and Thomas Ward, Ephraim Chamberlain, Samuel and David 
 Starr, Jotham Mitchell, Salmon Ward, Bela Hubbard, David Miller, and Boutin, a French- 
 man, came to Carthage. The above were all young unmarried men, save Mix. We continued 
 our labors through the summer of 1799. but not with that spirit which we should have done, 
 had not a rumor reached us of the failure of Mr. Storrs, and the probability that we should 
 lose, not only all our labor, but the money which I had advanced for my laud. But I will not 
 enter into particulars here — let it suffice that I could not afford to lose all I had done and paid, 
 and consequently entered into a compromise with him to save a moity of what was justly mine 
 — of not only what I had actually paid for, but of what I was to have had, for leading the way 
 in this first settlement of a new country, and subj ecting myself again to all its discomforts and 
 inconveniences. Consequently, in view of making this my permanent home, I moved my 
 family here in the autumn of 1799. We had a very unfavorable time to come. There had been 
 a snow-storm in which about six inches of snow had fallen. We were obliged to travel on 
 horseback, the horses' feet balled badly: we had sloughs to go through, and altogether it was 
 very uneomfortable traveling in that manner, with children. We arrived' at Mr. Hoadley's 
 the first night, and our ox-teams and goods the next day. From there we came to the High Falls, 
 where I had a boat awaiting us, which I had caused to be built for my own use. Here we em- 
 barked with all our goods and chattels, of all kinds, loading the boat to its utmost capacity, bo- 
 that when all were in it was only about four inches out of water. We spent one night at the- 
 Lowville landing, where a family were living, * * * 
 
 "Wo arrived at the Long Falls about noon the second day from our embarkation. The 
 weather had by this time become warm and pleasant. Our oxen arrived soon after by land, 
 we unloaded our boat, put our wagon together, loaded it with some of our effects, set off, and 
 before night reached our "wilderness home." My wife said, in view of the difficulties in 
 getting here, that, if she had anything as good as a cave to live in, she would not retm'n in 
 one year at least. She, of choice, walked from the Palls here, a distance of four miles through 
 the forest. We arrived on the 17th of November, 1799. The weather continued pleasant 
 until the 27th, when it commenced snowing. * * * I kept 15 head of cattle through the winter 
 by browsing them, and they wintered well. Isolated though we were, yet I never passed a more 
 comfortable winter. We had a plenty of provisions ; my wheat I had raised here, a very fine crop 
 from seed sown in the autumn of 1798,and my pork, Ac, was fatted in Oneida County, andbronght 
 here by boat. And, take it altogether, I perhaps settled this country as easy as any one ever settled 
 a new country.*' '* * In the spring of 1800 people began to flock into the country by hundreds, 
 and, as my log house afforded the only accommodation for wayfaring men,"' we were obliged 
 
 * It is not understood that Mr. Hubbard intended to convey the idea that his house was 
 then the only accommodation in the town, but the only one where Champion village now 
 is. At this time Mr, Mix kept a tavern at Long Falls, on the west side of the river, and 
 Mr. Boutin on the east side, in Wilna. — Editor.

 to keep them, wliethei' we woiild or no. * * * This rush continued two or three years, and 
 was full of incident and interest. * * * The town settled rapidly, with an intelligent and 
 energetic class of people. Perhaps there was never a more intelligent and interesting ceople- 
 -congregated together in an obscure little inland town, than in this within a few years from 
 its first settlement. * * * We were once honored by having in our midst such men as 
 Egbert Ten Eyck, afterwards first judge of the court, who was then a young lawyer, and 
 married here to one of our beautiful maidens; Olney Pearce and wife, Hubbel and wife, Judge 
 ■Mobs Kent; Henry E. Storrs, who opened an ofBoe here, and afterwards became one of the- 
 most distinguished lawyers of the state; Dr. Baudry, a Frenchman; Drs. Durkee and Farlie,. 
 and many others, too numerous to mention, as well as many ladies of grace and beauty, whom 
 it would be invidious now to particularize. Religious meetings were held on the Sabbath, after 
 old Deacon Carter came into the town, and in very few years, I think as early as 1805, the Eev 
 Nathaniel Button came. He was sent out by some missionary society in the East, to form 
 churches in this western world, and coming to this place was invited to remain, which he did, 
 and continued here until the close of his valuable life, in September, 1852, and for the greatei- 
 part of that time was the pastor of the Congregational Church, which fiourished under his- 
 ministrations and enjoyed many powerful revivals of religion. 
 
 " A house was built at a very early day, on the hill west of the village, which combined 
 the double purpose of a church and school-house. It was an expensive house for the times 
 and community. In a few years it was burned to the ground. The next school-house was alsO' 
 a large one, located across the gulf, on the road to the Great Bend. This was also used as a. 
 meeting-house. * * * " Yours, &c., Noadiah Hijbeabd." 
 
 The following interesting local history was written many years ago by 
 James Mix, son of the pioneer Joel, and is taken from a diary now in the 
 possession of one of his descendants. It contains many interesting incidents- 
 pertaining to the early settlers at West Carthage : — 
 
 "In 1798 Joel Mix, from Connecticut, came to the High Falls and assisted 
 in surveying there. He came down Black River, explored Champion, and 
 returned to Connecticut in the fall. Encouraged by General Henry Cham- 
 pion and Colonel Lemuel Storrs, who then owned the land in Champion, in 
 the winter of 1799 he moved to High Falls. Nathaniel Merriam moved him. 
 He then had four children. He left the children with Hannah Merriam, his 
 wife's sister, and with his wife came down the river (then the only highway) 
 with a 'one-horse pung,' to West Long Falls, where Daniel and David Miller, 
 two young men who came with him from Connecticut as workmen, and Auer 
 Terrel had been building a shanty on the bank of the river. On the 13th 
 day of April he went up the river on the ice to High Falls, 42 miles, on foot, 
 stayed the 14th, and on the 15th the ice in the river was broken up, and on 
 the i6th he set out for the Long Falls with a scow loaded with some of his 
 household goods, with his wife's sister, Hannah Merriam, and his four chil- 
 dren, Sylvester, James, Electa, and Sally, and two hired men. They set out 
 in the morning behind the ice (there was no dam, but rapid falls). As night 
 was coming on the scow went more rapidly than they were aware of, and 
 they soon found the scow changing ends and being drawn rapidly in towards 
 the falls. The two hired men were so terrified that their strength deserted 
 them and they were of no use to help manage the boat. But Joel Mix was 
 not the one to shrink from duty in the hour of danger, and while the boat

 was darting rapidly down toward the foaming falls he caught the chain of the 
 boat in one hand, and as the boat swung around he saw the top of a tree 
 which hung over the river some feet from the boat. With a great effort he 
 sprang from the boat and caught with one hand the limb of the tree, and 
 with the other held fast to the chain, his body dangling between the boat and 
 the tree. About the same time that they saw their danger, Hannah Mer- 
 riam called at the top of her voice for help, and was heard on the bank by Mrs. 
 Mix, who was at the shanty, where were also Daniel and David Miller and 
 Auer Terrel, who ran to the river, but could not assist as there was no boat 
 on that side of the river. But they had heard the cry on the other side of 
 the river, where one or two French families had settled, among whom was 
 Joanna Ward and husband and Peter Belmont, and one or two others. All 
 except Ward came speedily across the river and rescued Mr. Mix from his 
 perilous position, where he had hung partly in the ice and water utitil he was 
 nearly exhausted. They succeeded in landing the boat about nine o'clock 
 that night, about 15 rods below Lake Creek, at the head of the falls. 
 
 " After all had safely arrived at,'the shanty, it being dark and the ice running 
 in the river, those who came over to the rescue thought it not prudent to re- 
 turn that night, and they all stayed in the shanty. 
 
 " Mr. Mix cut down the first trees on a small piece and commenced build- 
 ing a house. The boards used in its construction, and all his provisions, 
 were brought down the river by boat. After his house was completed he 
 commenced the erection of a saw-mill, which was put in operation late in the 
 fall in that year. Some few individuals came to Long Falls that summer 
 (1799), among them being Elihu Jones, Samuel Starr, and Noadiah Hubbard, 
 the last named of whom settled in the center of the town, had built a log 
 cabin in 1798, where Champion village now is, and was the principal man 
 of that settlement. 
 
 " In 1800 the settlement of the town of Champion was rapidly advancing. 
 In I Sot Joel Mix built a grist-mill on the site of the present grist-mill, which 
 was afterwards called the Cofifeen mill. The millwright was Ethni Evans, who 
 afterwards settled and built mills in the locahty known as Evans Mills, in the 
 town of Le Ray. Joel Mix was the principal man of business on the west 
 side of the river, John Bossant on the east side, and Noadiah Hubbard in 
 the center of the town. Stephen Hubbard was also a prominent man in the 
 center of the town. He died a few years after settlement here. The first 
 town meeting was held at Joel Mix's house in 1801. 
 
 "In 1802, the population increased rapidly. Joel Mix kept a 'settlers' 
 house of entertainment,' a few groceries, and the most necessary farming tools, 
 such as axes, hoes, and sickles. He also built and put in operation a distill- 
 ery. At this time no one thought it a sin to distill and drink moderately, and 
 no one was troubled with delirium tremens. 
 
 " The woods were alive with wild animals, and hogs were frequently killed 
 by bears. On one occasion a bear killed a sow near the old mill, in open

 ■day, and the settlers immediately instituted a bear hunt and soon succeeded 
 in dispatching bruin. 
 
 " The Indians were in great numbers and were very expert in their bark 
 canoes on the rivers. About this time two were occupying a shanty together 
 up the river after the tribe had gone to St. Regis. They had visited the settle- 
 ment at the falls and were seen to go up the river in a canoe. One of the 
 Indians was subsequently found dead on a flat rock in the river near the fer- 
 rying-place, which was afterwards known to the inhabitants as ' Indian Rock.' 
 (It was out of water the most part of the year before the dam was built.) 
 Mr. Mix was justice of the peace and acted as coroner under the appoint- 
 ment of Oneida County. He summoned a jury, and their verdict was that 
 'the other Indian was the cause of his death.' Mr. Mix issued a warrant 
 which was placed in the hands of Philo Taylor, an athletic and courageous 
 man, and he arrested the Indian. Mr. Taylor thought he could take charge 
 of the prisoner safely during one night, but the Indian succeeded in making 
 his escape and went to St. Regis, where he told the members of his tribe that 
 his comrade had been murdered by the white men at Long Falls on the Black 
 River, and was found in the river with two bullet holes through his head. 
 At this report the Indians were greatly exasperated, and their chief, with 12 
 warriors, were preparing to go and massacre the settlers at the Long Falls. 
 But a friendly Indian, who had been acquainted at the falls, and had re- 
 ceived some special kindness, felt that he could not have it so, and went to 
 Judge Ford, at Ford's Settlement (now Ogdensburg), and told him the de- 
 sign of the Indians, and expressed such great anxiety that the Judge felt 
 that he would be sure to do anything he could to prevent the crime. The 
 Judge wrote to Mix, who had visited Ford's Settlement, and told him of the 
 contemplated action of the Indians, and advised that they must use their best 
 judgment. The Indian took the letter and said he would deliver it before he 
 slept. He did so, and immediately disappeared. Mr. Mix consulted with 
 Mr. Bossant, and they thought best to go and meet the Indians. Early the 
 next morning they set out and met them between the Long Falls and Indian 
 River. Most of the Indians were known to Mix and Bossant, and the In- 
 dians recognized them. After a friendly interview they told the Indians that 
 'they were glad to see them, aad wanted them to go to the Long Falls 
 and find out all they could about one of their tribe who was found dead on 
 a rock in the river. They came with them, a part staying with Mix and the 
 others with Bossant. The next morning they dug up the murdered Indian 
 and found no bullet holes in his head. Mix then told them the decision of 
 the jury, and the chief, after the examination, said, ' White man no kill him. 
 He kill him,' pointing to the accused Indian, who was one of the party. They 
 bound,him on the spot, promised the murderer would not live two days, and 
 went away satisfied. By the faithfulness of one poor Indian the inhabitants of 
 ihe settlement were saved from an awful death. 
 
 " Jean Baptiste Bossant owned the farm now owned by Philip Hull. He 
 
346 TOWN OF CHAMPION. 
 
 built a potashery on the small creek (then much larger than now) above 
 the road opposite where the barn is now located. This was a great con- 
 venience to the pioneers, and a source of considerable revenue to the owners. 
 
 " The land cleared, being new and out of the hard winds, yielded an abun- 
 dance of all kinds of grain. The corn, growing where the ground had pre- 
 viously been burnt over, needed no hoeing, and large crops were raised among: 
 the logs where the brush had been burnt out. In one instance Johnson Tift, 
 residing on the lower side of the farm now owned by Phihp Hull, trimmed 
 out the brush on the flat, and among the logs raised over 300 bushels of shelled' 
 corn and more pumpkins than could be disposed of. David Miller raised 16- 
 bushels of wheat from one bushel hoed in among the logs. 
 
 " Among the first settlers was a colored family from Connecticut, Benjamirv' 
 and Dolly Buck and two children, Larry and Daniel. Benjamin was a butcher, 
 and also a very expert performer on the violin. He was often called upon to- 
 furnish the music at the merry-makings. Dolly, his wife, was an excellent 
 nurse, and was often called to attend the sick. 
 
 "About i8o5 Joel Mix sold his grist and saw-mills to David Coffeen and' 
 Wolcott Hubbel. Mr. Hubbel also opened a small general store. These- 
 mills afterwards went by the name of the " Coffeen mills." 
 
 " Henry Champion and Lemuel Storrs were the owners of the town of 
 Champion. They offered great inducements to Joel Mix and Noadiah Hub- 
 bard (the first two settlers) to commence the settlement of the town. Mix. 
 commenced at the Long Falls, and Hubbard at the center of the town. Both- 
 were well situated to assist in a speedy settlement, which they did. Mix built 
 mills, a potashery, and distillery, and kept tavern. Hubbard also kept a. 
 tavern, built an ashery, and kept some necessary farming tools, groceries, etc. 
 He made early clearings, raised stock, and soon furnished seed grain for new 
 comers. The town settled rapidly with a very industrious, intelligent, and 
 energetic class of pioneers. 
 
 " It is due to Messrs. Champion and Storrs to say that they did not assist 
 nor reward these men for their sacrifice and service. They had to pay for 
 land for their roads, lay them out and work them, pay for surveying, one dol- 
 lar for a contract, with compound interest if not paid punctually, and if they 
 saw fit to renew a contract an additional charge was made. If one were for- 
 tunate enough to succeed in paying all these charges, and the principal, he 
 then had to pay for a deed, and all the expense connected with it. To give- 
 every one their due, I have heard it said that Champion gave a piece of land- 
 for a meeting-house, and in some school districts a few feet for a school-house. 
 These proprietors came on in June every year, got all the money they could>. 
 and carried it away with them. They did nothing to assist or encourage the 
 inhabitants, and held their land at a high price." 
 
 Among the early settlers at Great Bend was Roswell Gates and EU Wat- 
 son. The latter had a grist-mill, hotel, and distillery. Daniel Potter keptthe--

 first Store here, Nathan A. Carter was the first blacksmith, and Schamel Reed 
 made the first chairs. 
 
 In the Champion Evergreen Cemetery, near where Orson Merrill now 
 resides, two Revolutionary soldiers lie buried, one of whom was the grand- 
 father of Abel P. Lewis, who resides at Black River. 
 
 Mr. Mosley and Rev. Mr. Button were well-known men of Champion in 
 these early days. Champion village was a place of great expectations : it 
 aspired to be the county seat of Jefferson County. There were two stores 
 in the village, kept by Stephen Hubbard and Judge Hubbard. Judge Hub- 
 bard also owned a distillery, which was tended by Levi Tuttle, and the Judge 
 was the proprietor of the first tavern. 
 
 The oldest person living in this town is Mrs. Rachel Loomis, widow of Otis 
 Loomis, who is now 95 years of age. August 9, 1887, her 93d birthday was 
 celebrated, and 62 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were her 
 guests, as was also a brother who resides in New York. Mrs. Loomis came 
 to this town from Ilion, Herkimer County, in 1802, with her parents, Mr. and 
 Mrs Asa Harris, who were originally from Connecticut. [Mrs. Loomis died 
 in the autumn of 1889. J The road on which Mr. Harris settled is the one 
 leading from Champion to Watertown, about two miles west of the former 
 place, where he died in 1834 and his wife in 1848. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The First Congregational Church of Champion was organized in 1801, and 
 called its first pastor. Rev. Mr. Button, in 1805, who was not installed, how- 
 ever, until 1807. In 1 81 9 its membership numbered nearly 400. Some two 
 or more churches have been organized from this one, and, with removals and 
 deaths, in 1876 the membership was only about 14. After being without any 
 stated preaching for about seven years, in 1876 an effort was made to revive 
 the old church. The services of Rev. I. M. H. Dow were secured, who served 
 the church for about nine Sabbaths, when sickness compelled him to leave 
 the field. The church suffered a severe blow by the sudden loss of Mr. Bow, 
 as there was no more regular preaching until February 11, 1877, when the 
 services of Rev. W. T. Osmun were secured through Rev. J. C. Hol- 
 brook, B. B. After preaching two Sabbaths the church and society gave 
 Mr. Osmun an unanimous call to become its acting pastor, which position he 
 held for one year, when Rev. Charles Fifield became pastor. He remained 
 with the church five years, since which time the church has had only occa- 
 sional services. 
 
 The First Methodist Church of Champion, located at Great Bend village^ 
 was organized in 1826 by Nathaniel Salisbury and Gardner Baker. Their 
 first Bouse of worship, a wooden structure, was built in 1826, about two miles 
 from the present site. This whole territory was then called the " Black River 
 Circuit." Nathaniel Salisbury and Gardner Baker were colleagues upon the 
 
^48 TOWN OF CHAMPION. 
 
 circuit when the first church was built, which would seat about 300 persons. 
 The house stood upon one of the four corners known as " Francis and Bab- 
 cock Corners," was built of wood, plain, without steeple or belfrey — no daub 
 of paint was ever upon it inside or out, and no cushions were ever upon its 
 seats, except one individual one. Jesse Penfield, Isaac Puffer, F. H. Stanton, 
 and many others were among its pastors. As churches were built at Felt's 
 Mills and Champion village, the congregation here grew smaller, members 
 died, and when it was decided to abandon the " old church " but few mem- 
 bers remained. The church was dedicated at a watch-meeting held Decem- 
 ber 31, 1826, and the last benediction was pronounced January i, rSSy, 
 when the new year was but just dawning. The present house of worship, also 
 a wooden structure, was built in 1887, at a cost of $2,300, about its present value. 
 It will seat about 200 persons, and was dedicated about four months after 
 the old church was abandoned. Wilson Pennock, a local preacher, Jason 
 Francis, Josiah Townsend, and Elijah Francis were the first trustees of the 
 -church. About two years after the organization of the church Nathan Fran- 
 cis was appointed class-leader, and has since served in that capacity without 
 intermission. The present trustees are Emerson Peck, E. J. Pennock, and 
 J. D. Pennock. The present church building is modern in style, with a tower 
 50 feet high, is nicely furnished and carpeted, and is heated by a furnace. 
 It was dedicated free from debt, is in a flourishing condition, with a present 
 membership of 54, and Henry Ernest is the present pastor. The Sunday- 
 school has about 80 members, with Edwin Sweet, superintendent. 
 
 The First Congregational Church, of West Carthage, was organized by 
 Rev. Mr. Button, the first pastor, March 31, 1835, with 12 members. 
 Their house of worship, the present wooden structure, was built in 1852, 
 will comfortably seat 200 persons, and is now valued, including grounds, at 
 $3,000. The present membership is 83, with Rev. George B. Rowley, 
 pastor The Sunday-school has a membership of more than 100, with an 
 average attendance of about 60. 
 
 The Baptist Ecclesiastical Church, at Great Bend, was organized in 1842, 
 of two societies, — one at Champion village and one at Rutland, — and at its 
 organization consisted of 200 members. Rev. John Wilder was the first pas- 
 tor. Their first house of worship, the present wooden building, was erected 
 in 1844, at a cost of $1,500. It will comfortably seat 220 persons, and is 
 valued, including grounds, at $r,2oo. The present membership is 69, with 
 Rev. F. H. Richardson, pastor. The Sunday-school has a membership of 60 
 ■scholars and nine teachers, with O. F. Dodge, superintendent. 
 
 Trinity Chapel (Protestant Episcopal), located at Great Bend, was started 
 as a mission in 1873 by Mrs. Mary Bradford Sterling Clark, acting under 
 Rev. L. R. Brewer, now missionary bishop of Montana, who was the first 
 rector. It has never been organized as a parish. Their house of worship, 
 the present wood structure, was erected in 1875, at a cost of $2,500. It 
 will comfortably seat 150 persons, and is now valued, including grounds, at 
 
TOWN OF CHAMPION. 
 
 349- 
 
 $3,000. The mission has been operated from the first mainly by Mrs. Clark, 
 above mentioned, as deaconess, with fortnightly services by the rector of 
 Trinity Church, of Watertown. The chapel has 33 communicants, and Rev. 
 Russell A. Olin, of Watertown, is the present rector. 
 
 JAMES MIX. 
 
 James Mix, son of Joel and Eleanor Merriam Mix, was born August 24, 
 1797, in Wallingford, Conn. He was one of a family of 10 children. In the 
 fall following his first birthday his parents with their family migrated to High 
 Falls (now Lyons Falls, Lewis County), and in the following spring came 
 down the Black River by boat to Champion (see sketch of Joel Mix), land- 
 ing at the place now occupied by the village of West Carthage, where he 
 resided with his parents until his father's death, which occurred when he 
 was 17 years of age. Soon after his father's death he went to Watertown 
 and commenced reading law with Egbert Ten Eyck, afterwards first judge of 
 Jefferson County; but soon thereafter his health failed, and acting under the 
 advice of his physician he returned to Champion and commenced farming. 
 
 His first business venture was made during the War of 1812, when troops 
 were being moved through Champion to Sackets Harbor. A disabled cav- 
 alry horse was offered for sale, and young Mix purchased him for $1 and soon 
 after sold him for $17. Perhaps this was indicative of the success he after- 
 wards achieved in the purchase and sale of horses and cattle, for which he 
 became somewhat famous. 
 
 October 13, 1822, he was married to Anna Martin, a granddaughter of 
 Capt. Martin, after whom Martin street was named. By this marriage he had 
 one child, a daughter, who died at the age of 19. The mother of this child 
 died October 31, 1825. April 4, 1827, Mr. Mix married Eliza Wilmot, by 
 whom he had four children, viz.: Mrs. Le Roy Wood, Mrs. Melvin C. Rice, 
 Harrison Mix, and Mrs. Mary E. Smith, all of whom survive except Mrs. Smith. 
 The mother of these children died March 4, 1847, S-nd on April 24, 1862,, 
 Mr. Mix married Lovina Birdseye, of Trenton, Oneida County, who died 
 November 11, 1881. He was always happy in his domestic relations and 
 commanded the respect of all who knew him. 
 
 In June, 1852, Mr. Mix formed a copartnership with Erastus H. Whitney 
 and Edgar Darhng, under the firm name of Whitney, Mix & Darling, for the 
 purpose of carrying on the business of merchandising and tanning in the vil- 
 lage of Carthage, just across the river from where his father landed with his 
 family when he came to Jeff'erson County. Mr. Mix then removed from his 
 farm in Champion to Carthage, where he resided until December, 1853, 
 when the above named copartnership was dissolved. Whitney and Mix 
 transferred their interests to James G. Darling. With the exception of the 
 briefperiod of his residence in Carthage and Watertown, as above stated, he 
 resided in Champion from the spring of 1799 until his death, which occurred 
 August 28, 1887. Until three weeks before his death he always managed his. 
 
350 TOWN OF CHAMPION. 
 
 own business, never finding it necessary to call any one to his aid by reason 
 of any infirmity of mind or body. He died of no particular disease, and it is 
 safe to say that at the time that event occurred he had resided within the 
 territory comprising the county of Jefferson longer than any other person 
 then living. In 1824 he commenced keeping a diary, in which he entered 
 the principal occurrences of each day. He had also written out statements 
 of various matters of interest relating to the early history of Champion and 
 Carthage occurring previous to that year. Some of these it is believed never 
 found their way into print until the publication of this book. 
 
 Mr. Mix never availed himself of any opportunities for making himself 
 prominent, but was always contented with a faithful discharge of the duties 
 of life as they came to him from day to day. When a young man he united 
 with the Congregational Church at Champion village, but subsequently united 
 with others in forming the church at Carthage, and for a long time acted as 
 superintendent of the Sabbath-school. He was always regular in his at- 
 tendance at church and maintained a spotless Christian character. In poli- 
 tics he was a Whig until the dissolution of that party, after which he affiliated 
 with the Democratic party. He was a man of positive opinions, and one of 
 a class necessary to the well being of every community. 
 
 FAMILY SKETCHES. 
 
 Joel Hubbard, with his brothers Noadiah, Fairohild, Bela, and Stephen, came from Middle- 
 town, Conn., some time previous to the settlement of the " Black River country," and located 
 in Steuben, Oneida County. They left one brother on the old homestead at Middletown, and 
 his posterity are numerous there at the present time. There are also two sisters in this family 
 of eight children, which, with its numerous descendants, may be worthy of a passing notice as 
 noted for the longevity of its members. Joel Hubbard came with the other brothers men- 
 tioned from Steuben to Champion in the year 1799. Noadiah Hubbard had previously visited 
 the town and made a clearing where Champion village now is. Joel took up a wilderness farm, 
 erected a log hufc, and with his wife, whose maiden name was Mercy Austin, to whom he was mar- 
 ried in Steuben in 1797, bravely commenced tlie struggle for e.-iistence. Joel and Mercy Hubbard 
 were the parents of 13 children, four of whom died in infancy. The remaining nine lived to 
 an advanced age. Their names were Edward, Clement, Joel A., Charles, Wealthy, Pho3be, 
 Julia Ann, Laura, and Cberille, all of whom, with the exception of the latter, married early in 
 life, settled in Champion, and raised families. There survive at the present writing (1889) 
 three of this remarkable family, viz.: Edward S., who resides with a, married daughter near 
 Champion village; Mrs. Wealthy Knowles, relict of the late E. K, Knowles, of West Carthage, 
 to whom we are indebted for many of the facts herein given; and Miss Cherille, a maiden lady 
 residing with a niece near Carthage. Mrs. Knowles is a remarkably preserved woman at the 
 advanced age of 86 years, having a memory extending back almost to the beginning of the 
 present century. She is quite deaf, but otherwise is in the possession of all her faculties. She 
 was the first woman in the town of Champion who signed the pledge of total abstinence, in the 
 summer of 1829, and she says : " What is better, I have always kept." She is the mother of 
 six children, all of whom are living. Joel Austin Hubbard, mentioned above, who died in 
 1888, became the possessor of a farm which was originally deeded, in 1807, from Storrs and 
 Champion, the old land-holders, to Joel Hubbard, his father, of whom he purchased it in 1835, 
 and upon which he always after lived, and which upon his decease became the property of his 
 son, J. Austin Hubbard, Jr., who is thus not only in possession of the old family name, but 
 also of an estate which has descended through three generations in the same family. The old 
 original deed is shown and is an interesting document. Among many well-known and 
 
TOWN OF CHAMPION. 35 I 
 
 respected descendants of this family we will mention P. H. and E. H. MoNitt, of Copenhagen, 
 N. Y.; Edwin C, Alfred 0., and Joel C. Hubbard, all farmers, of Champion ; Charles L. and 
 Samuel Knowles, of Carthage; besides many others. Five of Joel Hubbard's grandchildren 
 -are residents of Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Missouri. The farm which Joel Hubbard 
 cleared, and upon which he lived to the day of his death, is now owned by T. M. Hadsall, near 
 Champion Tillage. Upon this farm, and almost as good as new, stands a large stone barn, 
 which, according to the legend inscribed upon a large block of granite in the front gable, was 
 ■erected by " Joel Hubbard in 1829." 
 
 Joel Hubbard's descendants are not among those who have aspired to great wealth or high 
 position, but to those humbler virtues of temperance and honest industry which are their own 
 best reward. They are almost without exception, even to the third and fourth generation, a 
 race of farmers, and are successful in their chosen vocation. 
 
 Ward Hubbard was born in Oneida County, September 26, 1797, and came with his father, 
 Noadiah, to this town in 1799. He was a prominent farmer, and held several town ofEices. He 
 married Clarissa S. Fish, and they had one son and six daughters, of whom two daughters, 
 Mary and Clara E., are living and reside in Watertown. 
 
 Ehhu Jones came from Connectiut into Champion in the spring or summer of 1798, and 
 ;purchased 100 acres of land about one and three-fourths miles west of Champion village. He 
 -made a small clearing and built a log shanty, and returned to Connecticut; in 1799 he returned 
 with his wife, accompanied by William Davis, his brother-in-law, and his family. Mr. Jones 
 sold to Davis 40 of the 100 acres, retaining the balance. Davis raised a large family of chil- 
 dren and lived on this 40 acres till he died, a very old man. Jones had but one child, a 
 ■daughter, born in 1800, who married Hubby Dorwin, and lived on the old place till about 1840, 
 when they removed to Champion village. 
 
 Sylvester Mix, son of Joel, was born in 1795, and was four years of age when his parents 
 located in Champion. When Sylvester was 13 years of age his father died, and being the eldest 
 ■of seven children the cares of the family devolved upon him. His mother also died while he 
 was yet young. He married Hannah, daughter of John Eeed, of Lowville, and settled upon 
 the farm now occupied by his son Joel. He had five children, namely: Mary, Nahar, George, 
 David, and Joel. Joel Mix was born March 27, 1S30. In 1852 he married Abigail D., daughter 
 •of George and Lydia (SeUeck) Fulton, and located on thrf homestead, where he has since re- 
 sided. He is engaged in farming, and is one of the road commissioners of the town. 
 
 William Bockwood, son of Eeuben, came to Champion in 1799, and settled on the farm now 
 ■occupied by his son Charles G. He did not remain long, however, but about 1801 or '02 re- 
 turned and commenced a clearing. In 1808 he married Polly, daughter of Seth Cutler, and 
 they had 12 children, six of whom are now living, namely: PrisciUa (Mrs. David Eoulston), in 
 St. Lawrence County; Sally (Mrs. George Sayre), in Champion; Eeuben, in Michigan; Sabrina 
 {Mrs. Johnson), in Croghan, Lewis County; John W., in Wisconsin; and Charles G., in Cham- 
 pion. Charles G. Eockwood was born March 26, 1816. He married, first, Mary S. Bounds, and 
 second, Jane Van Deusen. He has two children, F. L., who resides at Felt's Mills, and Demp- 
 ster, who lives with his parents. Dempster Eockwood married Anna, daughter of Joseph 
 Wise, of Watertown, and they have one son, Wesley W. Charles G. Eockwood has always 
 resided upon the old homestead. Eeuben Eockwood came to Champion about 1803, and located 
 near his son William. His sons Daniel, .Asa, and Eoswell also settled on adjoining farms in 
 this town. 
 
 Leonard Harris was born in Herkimer County in 1792, and when quite young his father 
 settled in school district No. 6, of this town, west of Champion village, on a tract of 200 acres, 
 which he purchased of the Champion estate. Here Leonard was reared amid the hardships 
 and privations of pioneer lite, receiving such education as his surroundings afforded. At the 
 age of 20 he married Miss Lucinda Thompson, of this town, and built him a log house 
 on his grandfather's farm in the same neighborhood. He lived here for two years, when 
 he removed into a new frame building which he built on the same farm. This he occupied till 
 1849, when he purchased of the heirs his father's estate on the old State road, between Cham- 
 pion and Butland, where he died January 24, 1873. The children born to him were as fol- 
 lows,: Boena, who now resides at Natural Bridge, this county; Alfred, who died in 1858; 
 Bachel, who resides in Wayne County; Clarissa, who lives in Pulaski, Oswego County; Guilford, 
 who resides in town; Lovioa, who died in Chicago, lU., in 1874; Erastus, who is a resident of 
 
352 TOWN OF CHAMPION. 
 
 this town; Chester, who resides on his father's homestead; and Jane S., who lives at Copen- 
 hagen, Lewis County. Mr. Harris was a soldier of the War of 1812, and was a pensioner of 
 that war at the time of his death. Mrs. Harris died in August, 1831, when their youngest 
 child, Chester, was but one year old. He was again married in 1833, and his widow now sur- 
 vives him. 
 
 Joseph Sanders was born in Halifax, Vt., whence he removed to the town of Champion 
 about 1800. About 180i he married Liicinda Pairman and located near Pleasant Lake, where- 
 he lived until 1817, when he removed to Wilna and settled on the farm now occupied by Edwin 
 Cowan, where he died. He was captain of a company of militia and served in the War of 1812. 
 He had 12 children, four of whom are now living, namely: Jared, at Natural Bridge, in 
 Wilna; Lueinda (Mrs. Daniel Jackson), on Martin street, in Champion; Clarinda (Mrs. 
 Abram Poole), in Kansas; and Orin F., in this town. Grin F. Sanders was born in Champion 
 in 1809. In 1836 he married Mary, daughter of William Sarvay, by whom he had four chil- 
 dren, namely: Mary (Mrs. Germain Tallman), of Orleans; Annette (Mrs. J. H. Phelps), of

 from Delaware. It embraces two-fifths of Penet's Square, a gore 
 west and another north of that tract, and Grindstone and several smaller 
 islands in the St. Lawrence. The surface of the town is level or slightly roll- 
 ing. The principal streams are Chaumont River, which takes a southwest- 
 erly course through the town a little south of its central part, and French 
 Creek, which takes a northeasterly and northerly course through the north- 
 western part, emptying into the St. Lawrence River. The town is bounded 
 on the north by the St. Lawrence River, on the east by Orleans, on the south 
 by Broivnville, and on the southwest by Cape Vincent and Lyme. Among 
 the smaller islands lying within the limits of this town, and occupied as sum- 
 mer homes, are Governor's* and Calumet* islands, opposite Clayton village. 
 Round Island, upon which is located the Frontenac Hotel, one of the finest 
 hotels in this famous region, Washington Island, Little Round Island, and 
 Bluff, Robbins, Hemlock, and Maple islands. The latter has recently been 
 purchased by Messrs. Charles H. Pierce and W. Allen Butler, of Syracuse, 
 who contemplate the erection of an elegant park here. The topography of 
 the island and its location are favorable for such an enterprise. Jefferies 
 and Grennell islands, constituting Grennell Island Park, are also in this town. 
 At the first town meeting held at the house of Isaac L. Carter, June 4, 
 1833, the following town officers were elected : Hubbell Fox, supervisor;

 peace ; Jesse Noyes, Abram Burdick, Bariah Carpenter, Jr., assessors ; Caleb 
 Closson and James Barney, overseers of the poor; Samuel P. Payne, Lloyd 
 B. Farrar (or Traver?), Elkanah Corbin, commissioners of highways; Alfred 
 
 * Governor's and Calumet islands were once known respectively as Shot-bag and Powder- 
 horn islands.

 In 1880 Clayton had a population of 4,214. The town is located in 
 the third school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 25 school 
 xiistricts, in which 33 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. The 
 whole number of scholars attending school was 1,063, while the aggregate 
 -days attendance during the year was 96,909. The total value of the school 
 buildings and sites was $21,295, and the assessed valuation of all the dis- 
 tricts was $1,141,563. The whole amount raised for school purposes was 
 $7,704.21, $3,669.12 of which was received by local tax. Charles E. Whit- 
 ney was school commissioner. The town has an area of 49,244 acres. 
 
 Clayton (p. o.) village was incorporated April 17, 1872, by a vote of the 
 •citizens, as provided in an act passed by the state legislature, April 20, 1870. 
 The vote stood 140 for and 5r against, the assumption of corporate honors. 
 The first election for village officers was held at the Walton House, May 8, 
 1872, at which the following were elected : Elijah McCarn, president; S. G. 
 Johnston, William Hawes, and S. D. Johnston, trustees ; Stephen Hill, 
 treasurer; Charles M. Marshall, collector; and C H. Ross was appointed 
 clerk. The village is situated on the St. Lawrence River, at the mouth of 
 French Creek, and was the scene of a brief conflict during the War of 18 12. 
 The advance of General Wilkinson's army, under command of General 
 Brown, reached French Creek on the afternoon of November i, 1813, where 
 it was attacked by a British force of two sloops, two schooners, and a strong 
 infantry force in boats. Captain McPherson, with a battery of three 18- 
 pounder guns, took position on Bartlett's Point, now Prospect Park, and re- 
 turned the fire of the enemy, who were repulsed, but renewed the attack in 
 the morning, when they were again defeated and forced to abandon their 
 purpose. Three Americans were killed and two wounded, while the loss of 
 the British was never fully known, although it was afterwards ascertained to 
 have been very severe. The safety of the Americans lay in the fact that the 
 British vessels, with their heavy 32-pounders, fired too high, and thus overshot 
 their foes. Some of their shots have been plowed up on what is known as 
 the Kline farm, now within the corporate hmits of the village. 
 
 The village was in 1823 named Cornelia. In 1831 the name was changed 
 to Clayton, which it has since retained. It was at one time very generally 
 known as French Creek. In the primitive patent of Penet the creek and 
 bay is named Weteringhra Guentere. 
 
 The village is a terminal station on the Utica & Black River division of 
 the R., W. & O. Railroad, and is a popular stopping-place for visitors to the 
 Thousand Islands, who pronounce a summer stay at Clayton the height of 
 enjoyment and repose. Here within sight are many of the beautiful isles 
 forming that most wondrous of all archipelagoes — The Thousand Islands.

 The village was surveyed by Clark W. Candee, in 1824, and resurveyed in 
 1833 by Oliver Child. It now contains five churches, one of the best graded 
 schools in Jefferson County, two prosperous banks, several fine hotels, nu- 
 merous manufacturing institutions, a weekly newspaper, telegraph, telephone, 
 and express offices, electric light plant, and a population of about 1,800. 
 
 E. G. Merick in his day probably carried on the most extensive business 
 of any man who has ever lived in Clayton. He and his associates since 
 1828 conducted a very large business here in rafting, lumbering, ship building, 
 and merchandising. Mr. Merick came to Clayton soon after the village be- 
 gan to develop, and remained until about i860, when he went to Detroit, 
 where he died. 
 
 Depauville, named in honor of Francis Depau, an early settler here, is- 
 situated on Chaumont River, at the head of boat navigation, six miles from 
 Chaumont Bay. The place was once known as "Catfish Falls," and above- 
 the falls the river was known as " Catfish Creek." It has a telephone and 
 express from Chaumont, two churches (Methodist Episcopal and Freewill 
 Baptist), an hotel, grist-mill, saw-mill, several stores and shops, and a popu- 
 lation of about 300. The first improvement here was made by Simon and' 
 Jared White, who came on as trespassers to get out lumber ; but, being 
 warned off by the agent, left a quantity of hewn lumber and removed to- 
 Three Mile Point, on Chaumont Bay, from which place they started, in May^ 
 1817, for the West in an open boat. The party consisted of the brothers,, 
 their mother, wives, and children, — eleven in all, — and had arrived in Houns- 
 field, a mile or two beyond Sackets Harbor, where they put up for the night.. 
 After leaving this place they were never seen ahve. Their boat was found' 
 robbed of household goods, several hundred dollars which the men had was 
 gone, and their bodies exhibited unmistakable marks of violence. The chil- 
 dren were found drowned, but the bodies of the women were never found. 
 The first house in this village was erected in 181 8 by John Smith. The first 
 store was kept by Peter B. Beadle, agent or clerk for Stephen Johnson. 
 The first mills were built in 1824 ; the first tavern was kept by one Winthrop- 
 in 1820, in which year, and in the same building, was also taught the first 
 school. The first church edifice was built about 1825, by the Episcopaf 
 Methodists.

 of the town. A postoffice was once established here, but has been discon- 
 tinued. 
 
 Corbin's Corners is the local name for a settlement about a mile north- 
 west from Depauville. 
 
 Thurso (p. o.) is on the north side of Grindstone Island, near which are-

 cashier. The bank was so continued until the fall of r882, when it was re- 
 organized as a state bank, under the same title,with a capital of $26,000, and 
 remained so until July, 1884, when Mr. Grant and others purchased Mr. 
 . Barker's interest, and it was soon after merged into the Exchange Bank. 
 
 The Exchange Bank of Clayton was organized in 1884, under the state 
 law, with an authorized capital stock of $100,000, and a paid up stock of 
 $40,000. The present officers of the institution are those elected at its 
 organization, and are as follows: John Johnston, president; Jacob Putnam, 
 vice-president; and R. P. Grant, cashier. The directors are, in addition to 
 the officers of the bank, Lucien J. Strough, William H. Lingenfelter, Alfred 
 D. Lowe, Geoige H. McKinley, John Faley, and William D. Clark. The 
 Bank of Clayton was merged in the Exchange Bank soon after the organi- 
 zation of the latter, and the business of the old organization was discon- 
 tinued. The Exchange Bank is one of the prominent financial institutions 
 of the northern part of Jefferson County, and its officers and directors are 
 men of recognized business ability, experience, and integrity. The office of 
 the bank is pleasantly located on Water street, commanding a fine vieiv of 
 the famous St. Lawrence River. According to the quarterly report, dated 
 September 7, 1889, the surplus of the bank was $10,000.

 Barker, as a private bank, with William Rees, president ; A. F. Barker, 
 cashier ; and O. L. House, assistant cashier. The bank was thus continued 
 until October 4, 1887, when it was reorganized as the 
 
 First National Bank of Clayton, with a paid up capital of $50,000. 
 The officers were origmally and are now as follows: A. F. Barker, president; 
 William Rees, vice-president ; H. W. Morse, cashier ; A. A. Warner, assist- 
 ant cashier. The directors are A. F. Barker, WilUam Rees, George H. Strough, 
 Charles A. Ellis, Frank L. Hall, James J. Belden, R. B. Biddlecome, and 
 W. F. Ford. The surplus is now $9,000. 
 
 The Security Building, Loan, and Savings Association, of Clayton, was in- 
 corporated in 1889, under the building and loan association laws of the state 
 of New York, with a capital stock of $1,000,000 with shares at $100 each. 
 The officers are Hon. James Johnson, president ; Thomas E. Walt, vice- 
 president ; A. E. Wood, secretary ; WiUiam D. Clark, treasurer ; Charles E. 
 Hocknel, manager. 
 
 Thousand Island Electric Light and Power Company was organized in 
 1887 and reorganized in 1888. The new company went into effect January 
 I, 1889. The plant is at Strough & Brooks's mill. Twenty-eight arc lights 
 and 100 incandescent lights are now in use. The capital stock of the com- 
 pany is $15,000. C. A. Ellis is president ; C. E. Rees, secretary; and Sey- 
 mour B. Barker, treasurer. 
 
 St. Laturence River Skiff, Canoe, and Steam Launch Co., successors to 
 A. Bain & Co., is located in Clayton village, where an extensive business is 
 done in the manufacture of all kinds of small water craft. A specialty is

 made of skiffs, canoes, and steam launches. The fame of the St. Lawrence 
 , River skiffs is known, not only throughout the United States and Canada, but 
 also in England, Australia, and other foreign countries. The boat' building 
 industry in Clayton was begun in a desultory way about 20 years ago by Xaviar 
 ■Colon. His means were limited, and his appliances for skillful and economi- 
 cal work were crude, yet his genius was in the right direction, and led to 
 splendid results. As the island population increased the demand for boats 
 grew rapidly, until finally several men were employed in their manufacture. 
 Finally Dr. A. Bain conceived the idea of uniting the entire boat building 
 business under one head. In 1873 the first shop was built for Xaviar Colon^ 
 and the business was prosecuted with much vigor. In 1887 the present com- 
 pany was formed under the firm name of A; Bain & Co., backed by capital 
 in the hands of wealthy citizens of New York city, which was followed by the 
 erection of the present extensive factory, 50 by 100 feet in size, three stories 
 high, with a basement, and an extensive garret, or dormer story. One year 
 after the formation of the company the present comprehensive name was 
 given to it, and the manufacture of steam launches, canoes, and other special 
 forms of boats was undertaken. The busmess is still under the management 
 of A. Bain, and Mr. Colon, who laid the foundation of the business in 1870, 
 is still with the firm. 
 
 The Jefferson County fish hatchery, formerly known as the St. Lawrence 
 fish hatchery, and owned by M. B. Hill, was established in 1881, and is 
 located at Prospect Heights, near the western part of the town, on road 50. 
 It is now a state institution, in the jurisdiction of Superintendent Monroe A. 
 Green. M. B. Hill is the local superintendent. 
 
 Clayton Fiirniture Manufacturing Company, on Theresa street, was or- 
 ganized in the spring of 1889, with a capital stock of $12,000. The com- 
 pany is at present engaged in the manufacture of chamber suits, the power 
 being furnished by the Electric Light and Power Co. Frank L. Hall is presi- 
 dent ; Wilham H. Consaul, vice-president ; C. A. Shaver, secretary; and 
 H. S. Barker, treasurer. 
 
 Gardiner M. Skinner, at Clayton, is engaged in the manufacture of troU- 
 ,ing spoon bait, and his goods have acquired a national reputation for their 
 sterling worth. Besides being attractive lures, they are uniformly made in 
 such substantial manner as to win the confidence of the angler, and withstand 
 the struggles and throes of greedy and powerful fish. 
 
 Strough dv Brooks. — The business of retailing lumber in the village of 
 Clayton was first entered into by Luther Eddy, who may be considered as 
 the pioneer in that line. In April, 1880, he associated with him George H. 
 Strough, a school teacher, who purchased the business for his son, Arthur B. 
 Strough, having no intention of engaging in the business himself. During 
 this copartnership the firm name was Eddy & Strough. The first year's busi- 
 ness aggregated but little over $6,000. The third year it was over three times 
 that amount. Mr. Strough, who had continued teaching up to this time, 
 
TOWN OF CLAYTON. 371 
 
 then decided to give his whole attention to the lumber trade, and on Jan- 
 uary I, 1883, purchased Mr. Eddy's interest, and for the next four years his 
 trade increased to over five times the amount done in 1880. January i, 1887, 
 wishing to add manufacturing facilities to his increasing business, Mr. Strough 
 entered into partnership with Otis Brooks, a well-known and experienced 
 lumberman and manufacturer, formerly a member of the firm of Roberts & 
 Brooks, of Philadelphia. January 20, 1887, Strough & Brooks bought out 
 the lumpier and manufacturing business of the firm composed of J. B. Flynn 
 and Myres Thompson, who occupied the extensive mill and factory at the 
 corner of Mary and Theresa streets, where a rock projects out into the bay, 
 forming a natural dockage, surrounded by water from six to 12 feet deep. 
 Messrs. Strough & Brooks proceeded at once to inaugurate a system of im- 
 provements which cost them thousands of dollars, but which added corres- 
 pondingly to their facilities. Among the improvements have been the erec- 
 tion of a store-house for dressed lumber, etc., a fine office building, in which 
 is also a hardware and weighing room below and a large room on the second 
 floor for priming and glazing purposes ; also docks, a coal-house, an engine- 
 house in which the Electric Light and Power Company have an 80-horse- 
 power boiler and a 60-horse-power engine which propels the machinery for 
 Strough & Brooks. The factory is furnished with the latest improved ma- 
 chinery for manufacturing sash, doors, and blinds, wood turning, and for the 
 manufacture of all kinds of joiner goods, furnishing employment to from 20 
 to 30 skilled workmen. The transactions of Strough & Brooks iluring their 
 first year were about $20,000 more than the aggregate of both concerns be- 
 fore the purchase of the property of Flynn & Thompson. Arthur B. Strough 
 is the efficient foreman of their factory, and John W. Williams is employed 
 as architect and supervising foreman on all their job work outside. A large 
 part of their contract work is in the erecting of buildings planned and drafted 
 by him. 
 
 Syracuse Granite Company, incorporated, has a capital stock of $50,000. 
 The quarries of the company are located on Grindstone Island, and the busi- 
 ness office is in Syracuse. John H. Tolman is president, and William Van 
 Auken, secretary. 
 
 The following relating to the ship building interests of Clayton is a revision 
 of the sketch published in the History of Jefferson County (1878). 
 
 Ship building began at Clayton in 1832, by Smith & Merick, and has 
 since been continued, sometimes giving employment to as many as 100 men. 
 From two to four vessels have been built here annually, making a total of 
 from 75 to 100, including most of the splendid steamers of the old Onta- 
 rio and St. Lawrence Steamboat Company's lines. This business began 
 here at about the. time the burdensome tonnage duties upon the lakes, 
 amounting almost to * prohibition, had been removed in part by Hon. Jo- 
 seph Hawkins, of Henderson, who represented this district in Congress. 
 From this time there existed no limit to the size of the vessels but that of the

 locks of the Welland Canal. The first vessels built here were the Jesse Smith 
 and Horatio Gates, commenced by Captain Pickering and completed by 
 George S. Weeks, for Smith & Merick, in 1830. G. S. Weeks continued 
 building for the same firm, and built the steamer Black Hawk, and the 
 schooners Franklin, Jefferson, Morgiana Willetts, Monroe, Gazelle, Madison, 
 Liuinda, Cleopatra, Western, Chesapeake, Robert Wood, E. G. Merick, 
 Sylph, and others, besides the steamer Swan. Mr. Weeks subsequently built 
 vessels in Oswego, and later in Chicago. 
 
 John Oades commenced building for E. G. Merick & Co. and Fowler & 
 Esselstyn in 1841, and built the schooners St. Lawrence, John Oades, D. N. 
 Barney, Superior, Invincible, New York, Quebec, America, Flying Cloud, 
 Sovereign of the Lakes, Northern Light, White Cloud, Northerner, Sky Lark, 
 Republic, Clayton, Amelia, Adriatic, Northern Belle, Dashing Waveffmoti- 
 ticello, Adirondack, Radiant, Clayton Belle, M. F. Merrick, MontanaYKear- 
 sarge, and others, and the steamers Niagara, Cataract, Ontario, Bay State, 
 New York, Jen?iy Lind, British Empire, British Queen, Midge, and Widgeon. 
 
 Thomas Rees built the schooner Mountaineer, and Harrison Persons the 
 schooner Marshfield. In 1863 John Oades built the schooner Portland iox 
 A. F. Barker. In 1867 John Cantwell built the schooner F. D. Barker, and 
 in 1868 Simon G. Johnston built the schooner Hoboken for A. F. Barker. 
 Simon G. Johnston commenced building for Fowler & Esselstyn in 1854, 
 and built the schooners Greyhound, Eagle Wing, Watchful, Mediator, Sen- 
 ator, Snow Bird, Brooklyn, Montpelier, Montcalm, Montgomery, Montmorency, 
 Mont Blanc, Irene, L. B. Stone, Scud, William Home, Hattie Johnson, Henry 
 Falger, and Biack Diamond. He also built the steamers T. S. Faxton, 
 H. S.' Johnston, ds^A Island Belle. 
 
 Mr. Johnston is the only one now engaged in ship building at Clayton, 
 Messrs. John Oades and Fowler & Esselstyn having removed to Detroit, 
 Mich. The St. Lawrence River Skiff, Canoe, and Steam Launch Company 
 has recently been organized, and the company will continue the business of 
 Dr. Bain in the building of skiffs, and will also include small steamboats 
 During the last few years Mr. Johnston has built several steam yachts. 
 
 Hough's History of St. Lawrence County is authority for the statement that 
 in 1799 there was a single log hut in this town, probably that of some lum- 
 ber thieves, who plundered the frontier without restraint or limit during 
 many years before any one appeared to show title. Mr. Nathan Ford, the 
 pioneer of Ogdensburg, in a letter to Samuel Ogden on this subject, dated 
 December 27, 1799, wrote: — 
 
 "There are several persons now cutting timber upon the two upper townships. I liaveno 
 authority to say anything about the matter; but vast injury will take place upon the town- 
 ships, and if there are not measures taken immediately, not less than 30,000 or iO,000 staves, 
 overhand above the square timber which is now getting, that will be taken off. Mr. Wilkins 
 took down the names of several who pretended to settle; their motive was only stealing oil' 
 the timber. The thing is now working as I told him would be the case, and if something is 
 not done about this business great destruction will arise. An example ought to be made, and

 this can not be done without sending an officer from Port Stanwix. They have got the timber 
 so boldly that they say there is no law that can be executed upon them here." 
 
 The first permanent settlement in this town was commenced in 1801 or 
 1802, by a Mr. Bartlett, at a place called Bartlett Point, about a mile above 
 Clayton village, at the mouth of French Creek. The point has recently 
 been surveyed and laid out for <^ummer homes, and is known as Prospect 
 Park. Bartlett had been placed here by Smith and Delamater, land agents 
 at Chaumont, to keep a ferry to Gananoque, but after staying a year or two 
 seffire to his house, as tradition says, and ran away by its light. 
 
 In the winter of 1803-04 Smith and Delamater undertook the erection of 
 a saw-mill, near the mouth of Wheeler Creek, upon which it was built. The 
 expense attending this measure embarrassed them considerably, and contrib- 
 uted to their subsequent failure. 
 
 In 1816 Nathaniel Norton, Jr., who had previously been a merchant at 
 Russia, N. Y., came as agent for C. H. and E. Wilkes, owners of 12,000 
 acres on Penet's Square, and adjoining the present village of Depauville.* 
 Soon after David and Nathaniel Holbrook came to the falls, and with their 
 father, under a contract of Alexander Le Ray, the agent of Depau, erected 
 a rude apology for a grist-mill, but upon failure of payment the premises were 
 sold in 1824 to Stephen Johnson and Peter Martin, who had located as mer- 
 chants and lumbermen. At this time there were but two or three log houses 
 and the rude mills where Depauville now is. 
 
 In 181 7 Phineas Osborn, father of Thomas S., Schuyler, and -Phineas A. 
 Osborn, came in from Herkimer County and settled about three miles north- 
 west of Depauville, on what is known as Elm Flat. In 181,8 Jerry Carter 
 came in and settled near Clayton Center. He came with his father, who was 
 a great hunter, and told marvelous tales connected with his hunting expedi- 
 tions. In 1 81 9 James D. Gloyd came in with his father, Amos, from Ver- 
 mont, and settled on lot No. 39. In 1820 Adam Fry came from Denmark, 
 Lewis County, and settled in this town. Gaylord Enos came in from Her- 
 kimer County in 1824, his first purchase of land being 50 acres from Depau. 
 The first justice of the peace in the town was Gurdon Caswell. 
 
 Grindstone Island is one of the largest of the Thousand Islands, being 
 more than five miles in length and from two to three in width. This island, 
 with many others, was claimed by the St. Regis Indians at an early day, and 
 leased by their agent to British subjects for a long term of years. Upon 
 survey of the boundary in 1818 they were found to belong to our govern- 
 ment, and in 1823, upon these islands being patented by the state, in pursu- 
 ance with an agreement with Macomb, difficulties arose that threatened for 
 a time to result in serious measures, and which have been known locally as 
 the War of Grindstone Island. A quantity of pine timber had been cut 
 and prepared for rafting, which was claimed by the patentee, but was refused 
 
 * His power of attorney is dated June 20, 1820.

 to be given up by those in possession. Finding it probable that any attempt 
 to serve legal papers upon the parties alleged to be trespassers would be re- 
 sisted, a detachment of militia from Lyme, under Capt. S. Green, was called 
 out. The timber had mostly been passed over into British waters, and after 
 some firing the party in charge of the timber dispersed. One of the militia men 
 was accidentally killed by the discharge of his own gun. The question subse- 
 quently became a subject of Htigation, and was Snally settled by arbitration. 
 The first court on Grindstone Island was held April 30, 1889, when S. H. 
 Slate, justice of the peace, was called upon to investigate a charge of assault 
 and battery between two women, sisters-in-law, whose husbands were em- 
 ployed in the quarries at Thurso. The defendant in the case was fined $30, 
 which was paid. 
 
 The islands in this vicinity have many associations connected with the 
 War of 1812, and affairs growing out of the Patriot movement, which are de- 
 tailed in the County Chapter. During the embargo period of 1808 the old 
 French road, that had been cut through from the High Falls to the river at 
 this point, became a thoroughfare for teams laden with potash, and this con- 
 traband trade continued with comparative impunity till the commercial re- 
 striction was removed. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Freewill Baptist Church, of Depauville, was organized March 20, 
 1820, by Amasa Dodge, the first pastor, with 15 members. The primi- 
 tive structure in which the society first worshiped was built of logs, in 1820, 
 and was the first house of worship in the town of which we have any record. 
 In 183s the present stone structure was built at a cost of $3,000. It will 
 comfortably seat 250 persons, and is valued, including grounds and other 
 property, at $8,000. The society now has a .membership of 65, under the 
 pastoral charge of Rev. Barton G. Blaisdell. The Sunday-school has a mem- 
 bership of eight teachers and 80 scholars. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church of Depauville. — A Methodist class was or- 
 ganized at Depauville as early as 1821, and it is mentioned as one of the 
 23 appointments in the old Black River district, and within the Genesee 
 Annual Conference, in 1822. The society was organized November 25, 
 1834, with Martin Spicer, Abel F. Low, Caleb Closson, Wareham P. 
 Case, and Timothy O'Connor, trustees. Meetings were at first held in pri- 
 vate dwellings, and in the old frame school-house. The present church edi- 
 fice was erected in 1851, at a cost of about $3,000, and was dedicated by 
 Rev. A. J. Phelps. The present value of church property, including build- 
 ing and grounds, is $6,500. The present membership is 150, and Rev. 
 Leroy Grant is the pastor. The Sunday--school has 25 teachers and 88 
 scholars. 
 
 The Second Methodist Episcopal Church of Clayton, located on the corner 
 of John and Jane streets, in Clayton village, was organized October 5, 1840, 
 
376 TOWN OF CLAYTON. 
 
 by Rev. Hiram Shepard and seven trustees, with eight members. The first 
 pastor was Rev. Benjamin Phillips, who was succeeded by Rev. Hiram Shep- 
 ard. The first church edifice, the present wood structure, was built as a 
 union church by the Methodists and Baptists in 1840, at an original cost of 
 $4,000. In 1846 the present society purchased the Baptists' interest in the 
 building, which will comfortably seat 350 persons and is valued, including 
 grounds and other church property, at $11,000. The present membership 
 is 15s, under the pastoral charge of Rev. S. O. Barnes. The Sunday-school 
 has a membership of 18 teachers and 175 scholars. 
 
 The First Baptist Church of Clayton, located on John street, in Clayton 
 village, was organized October 6, 1840, by five trustees, and at its organiza- 
 tion consisted of 17 members. The first pastor was Rev. E. G. Blount. 
 The church edifice was erected of wood in 1850, at a cost of $2,000. It will 
 comfortably seat 250 persons, and its present value, including grounds and 
 other church property, is $3,500. The present membership of the church is 
 50, under the pastoral care of Elder Thompson. The Sunday-school has a 
 membership of 11 teachers and 75 scholars. 
 
 Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, located in Clayton village, was organ- 
 ized in 1868, by the rector, wardens, and vestry, and at its organization 
 consisted of 10 members. The first rector was Rev. H. R. Lockwood (now 
 D. D.), present rector of St. Paul's Cathedral, Syracuse. Their house of 
 worship was erected in 1869 at a cost of $10,000. It is built with a stone 
 basement and brick superstructure, will comfortably seat 250 persons, and is 
 valued, including grounds and other church property, at about $12,000. The 
 church now has 60 communicants, and Rev. J. E. Walton is the rector. The 
 Sunday-school has 13 teachers, and about 60 or 70 scholars. 
 
 The German Methodist Episcopal Church, located in the eastern part 
 of the town, was organized in 1880, with Rev. Samuel Bean as the first 
 pastor. Rev. W. J. Merle, of Orleans, is the present pastor. The Sunday- 
 school as a membership of five teachers and about 50 scholars. 
 
 St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, located on James street in Clayton 
 village, was organized in 1838 by Rev. Francis Gouth, the first pastor, and 
 at its organization had 15 families in its parish. Occasional services 
 were held by missionaries in private dwellings and in the school-house some 
 years prior to the regular organization of the church. The first house of 
 worship was erected in 1841 or '42. The present elegant stone structure was 
 commenced in 1885, was dedicated December ir, 1889, and cost about 
 $23,000. The exterior of the church presents a fine appearance, and the 
 interior is appropriately furnished and decorated. The aggregate cost of the 
 three marble altars was about $1,250. The church will seat 1,200 persons, 
 and is valued, including grounds and other property, at $25,000. The 
 present number of families in the parish is 300, under the pastoral charge of 
 Rev. Edward G. Brice.

 ALDEN F. BARKER. 
 
 Alden Farnsworth Barker, the subject of this sketch, was born October 21, 
 1822, in the town of Walden, Caledonia County, Vermont — a town nestled 
 among the Green Mountains. He was the eldest of nine children — five sons 
 and four daughters. His parents were descended from Enghsh stock, and 
 were as rugged and hardy as the hills that witnessed the birth of these children . 
 Here young Alden passed his early boyhood, doing chores on the home- 
 stead and going to the district school at odd intervals, until 1833, when 
 II years of age, he went to the village of Pierrepont, St. Lawrence County, 
 this state, to work on his father's farm of 60 acres, of that place, and the 
 following year he went to the town of Potsdam, same county, to live with 
 Aaron Eddy, and in May, 1837, moved with Mr. Eddy to Clayton and was 
 clerk in the grocery store of A. & L. Eddy, of that place, until 1842, when, 
 with his savings aggregating the modest sum of $100, and the credit 
 •obtained through strict honesty and sober and industrious habits, he 
 purchased the stock of that firm, and thus may be said to have got his first 
 start in his business career. 
 
 In August, 1844, he married Laura D. Smith, who was then teaching a 
 district school in the town of Clayton, and a daughter of the late Hon. Ben- 
 jamin Smith, of Russell, St. Lawrence County, N. Y. Three sons and one 
 daughter have been the issue of this marriage, all of whom are now living in 
 •Clayton. 
 
 Henry S. Barker, the eldest son, is engaged in the mercantile trade at that 
 place. Seymour B. Barker, next youngest, is secretary of the Thousand 
 Island Steamboat Company, and is engaged also in the vessel business. 
 Frank D. Barker, the youngest son, is an alumnus of the Syracuse Univer-||, 
 sity and the Albany Law School, and occupies the position of deputy collec- 
 tor of customs at Clayton, to which office he was appointed in October, 1885, 
 under President Cleveland's administration. Celinda, the daughter and 
 youngest child, is married to Solon H. Johnson, only son of the Hon. James 
 Johnson, of Clayton. 
 
 Mr. Barker continued in the grocery trade at the old stand known as the 
 "^'Cataract House," on Water street, until 1845, when he, together with A. & 
 L. Eddy, put up the building now known as the " Hayes House," and con- 
 ducted the business with them until 1847, when he built a store of his own 
 and carried on a general merchandise business in this building until it was 
 destroyed by the great fire of August^ 1853, but this was replaced by a brick 
 -structure the following year, and which is still standing. , In 1856 he formed 
 a partnership with Simeon D. Fobes, then a clerk in the store, and contin- 
 ued this relationship up to the year i860, when the partnership was dissolved, 
 Mr. Barker continuing the business, together with other and larger inter- 
 ests, up to the year 1873, when he was succeeded by his sons, H. S. and 
 S. B. Barker. 
 
378 TOWN OF CLAVTON. 
 
 In 1856 Mr, Barker purchased his first interest in vessels, engaging in the 
 grain trade on the chain of lakes between Chicago and Ogdensburg. Dur- 
 ing the years 1863, 1867, and r868, respectively, and while having atv 
 interest in other vessels, he built at Clayton the schooners Portland, Frank 
 D. Barker, and Hoboken, and continued in the business up to the year 1887. 
 
 But the enterprise with which Mr. Barker's name is most prominently as- 
 sociated, and with which the interests and prosperity of his town have been 
 most closely connected, was the building of the Clayton and Theresa Railroad. 
 The bonding of the several towns along the line for this project was com- 
 menced m 1 87 1, but on account of the strong opposition made by many of 
 the taxpayers it was only accomplished after a hard fought and closely con- 
 tested struggle. But the organization of the Clayton and Theresa Railroad Co. 
 was effected that year with Mr. Barker as president, and Russell B. Biddlecom,. 
 of the town of Orleans, as secretary and treasurer, which respective offices 
 these gentlemen held until the road was merged into that of the Utica and' 
 Black River Railroad in 1885. The building of the road was commenced 
 soon after the towns were bonded and was pushed forward with great vigor,, 
 and was completed in October, 1873, but only after many formidable obsta- 
 cles had been overcome. 
 
 An appeal had been taken from the decision of Judge Sawyer (then county 
 judge), that the several towns along the line had taken all the necessary 
 steps to qualify them to issue bonds in aid of the construction of this road ;. 
 and while this appeal was pending the bonds, which nevertheless had been 
 issued, had no market value. As it was necessary to realize on these bonds 
 to buy the iron and carry the project forward, Mr. Barker bought $25,000- 
 of them with his own means, and thus enabled the company to carry on the 
 work to a successful termination. It is not too much to say that while this 
 road, which has been the great source of the prosperity of the towns of 
 Clayton and Orleans for the past 17 years, would have ultimately been, 
 built in the then distant future, its building would have undoubtedly been 
 many years postponed had it not been for the indomitable pluck and perse- 
 verance, the untiring labors and generous support of Alden F. Barker andi 
 his able coadjutor, Russell B. Biddlecom. 
 
 In 1873 he, together with S. G. Johnston and L. A. Holt, built the steamer 
 T. S. Faxton for the excursion business on the St. Lawrence, and in 1877 they 
 built the steamer Island Belle to run between Cape Vincent and Alexandria. 
 Bay in connection with trains on the R., W. & O. Railroad at Cape Vincent. 
 In 1884 Mr. Barker associated himself with the Folger Brothers, of Kings- 
 ton, Canada, in building the magnificent steamer St. Lawrence, to take the- 
 place of the Island Belle, and an organization was effected under the name 
 of the " Thousand Island Steamboat Company," which still owns this steamer 
 with several others, controlling as it does most of the steamboat traffic on the 
 river. Mr. Barker is at present vice-president of tMs company. Prior to 
 1876 Clayton had had no bank, but that year Mr. Barker formed a partnes-

 ship with R. P. Grant and conducted a private bank, styled the Bank of Clay- 
 ton, Mr. Barker being the president and Mr. Grant, cashier, and continuing 
 the same to January, 1883, when it was organized into a state bank and with 
 the san:ie officers. In July of the following year Mr. Barker sold his interest 
 in the bank, and in Decen:iber following organized a private bank known as 
 the "Citizens' Bank'' and conducted the same to October, 1887, when he 
 organized the " First National Bank of Clayton," with over 70 stockholders 
 and a capital of $50,000, and with himself as president ; William Rees, 
 vice-president; H. W. Morse, cashier; and A. A. Warner, assistant cashier, who 
 are the present officers of the bank. It is doing a large and profitable busi- 
 ness, and is now counted one of the leading financial institutions of the 
 county. Mr. Barker is also a trustee of the Jefferson County Savings Bank. 
 Thus this account of Mr. Barker's long and successful business career is 
 largely the history of the village of Clayton. 
 
 In pohtics Mr. Barker has always been an ardent Democrat, casting his 
 first vote for James K. Polk for President in 1844, He has uniformly de- 
 clined office, and has only accepted a nomination when he knew his party 
 was in a hopeless minority. He was nominated for member of Assembly in 
 1866, but declined the nomination, although he could have undoubtedly been 
 elected. He has always encouraged home enterprise, and has contributed 
 largely of his efforts and means to that end. He built the large three story 
 brick block on Water street, and his large brick residence on John street, 
 recently completed to take the place of the one destroyed by the great fire of 
 1887, is one of the handsomest in the county.

 ELLISBURGH. 
 
 ELLISBURGH was formed from Mexico, February 22, 1803, and 
 named in honor of Marvel Ellis, an early proprietor, and Lyman Ellis, 
 the first settler. It was originally " Minos " of the "Eleven Towns." 
 Henderson was set off February 17, 1806. It is situated in the south>vest- 
 ern corner of the county, and is bounded on the north by Henderson and 
 Adams, on the east by Lorraine and Boylston in Oswego County, on the 
 south by Sandy Creek in Oswego County, and on the west by Lake Ontario. 
 Its area is about nine miles square. The surface is rolling and inclined to- 
 ward the lake. A range of low sand hills extends along the shore, and these 
 are succeeded by a wild, marshy region. North and South Sandy creeks, 
 which take a general southwesterly course through the town, are the princi- 
 pal streams. Skinner Creek, in the southern part, is quite a considerable 
 stream. North, South, Little Cranbury, and Little Sandy ponds are located 
 along the western border of the town, the latter lying partly in the town of 
 Sandy Creek, in Oswego County. The soil is sandy in the west, clayey 
 through the center, and a slaty loam in the east. It is one of the wealthiest 
 agricultural towns in the county, and is surpassed by but few in the state. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the residence of Lyman Ellis, at which 
 the following town officers were elected: Edward Boomer, supervisor ; Lyman 
 Ellis, clerk; Caleb Ellis and Amos B. Noyes, overseers of the poor; Jere- 
 miah Mason, Samuel Rhodes, and Benjamin Boomer, commssioners of high- 
 ways ; Matthew Boomer, constable and collector ; Abiah Jenkins, constable ; 
 John Thomas, Christopher Edmonds, and Dyer McCumber, fence viewers ; 
 C. Ellis, Jeremiah Mason, Timothy Harris, Benjamin Boomer, D. McCum- 
 ber, Joseph HoUey, overseers of highways.

 TOWN OF ELLISBURGH. 
 
 April II, 1796, Marvel Ellis, of Troy, N. Y., contracted with William Con- 
 stable for the purchase of this town, excepting a marshy tract each side of 
 Sandy Creek, near the lake, which was afterwards included, and a tract of 
 3,000 acres in the southwest corner, sold to Brown & Eddy. The sum of 
 $22,111.50 was paid, and a deed given, March 22, 1797, upon which a mort- 
 gage was given back upon the balance, amounting to $98,943.45. This 
 mortgage embarrassed the early sales, and confidence was not restored until 
 the property had reverted to the Constable estate, some years afterwards. 
 
 The greater part of the town was surveyed by Calvin Guiteau, in 1796, 
 "except the eastern part, which was surveyed by Nelson Doolittle, and the 3,000- 
 acre tract in 1800, by Benjamin Wright, of Rome; the latter, in 1808, sur- 
 veyed the whole town. 
 
 The first school commissioners and inspectors for the town were elected at 
 a special meeting held July 24, 1813, and were as follows: commissioners, 
 Oliver Scott, Elijah Woodworth, and William Case; inspectors, George An- 
 drus, Lyman Ellis, and George Jenkins. Asa Averill was subsequently ap- 
 pointed school commissioner in place of OHver Scott, resigned. In 1813-14 
 the town was divided into 17 school districts, and public school buildings 
 were first erected during those years. Previous to this school-houses were built 
 and schools maintained by subscription. 
 
 The following account is taken from Spafford's Gazetteer of 18 13 : — 
 
 "In 1810 there were four grist-mills, six saw-mills, two fulling-mills, one trip-hammer, 
 a distillery, and a convenient number of common mechanics. There were six school-houses, 
 which also served for worshiping assembhes. Ellis village, or Ellisburgh (?), contained a grist 
 and a saw-mill, a fulling-mill, distillery, school-house, and about 14 or 15 houses and stores." 
 
 From the same author's Gazetteer of 1824 we quote : — 
 
 "In 1820 the taxable property was $242,465. There were 13,454 acres of improved land, 
 4,386 cattle, 682 horses, and 8,729 sheep. There were made in families 51,576 yards of cloth in 
 1821. There were in town five grist-mills, 14 saw-miUs, one oil-mill, five fulling-mills, four 
 carding machines, three trip-hammers, two distilleries, and 13 asheries. The school districts 
 numbered 23, where were taught 1,039 children. The schools were kept eight of the 12 
 months." 
 
 In i88o Ellisburgh had a population of 4,8 ro. The town is located in the 
 first school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 31 school districts, 
 five of which were joint, in which 34 teachers were employed 28 weeks or 
 more. There were 939 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days 
 attendance during the year was 85,067. The total value of school buildings 
 and sites was $27,020, while the assessed valuation of all the districts was 
 $2,130,815. The whole amount raised for school purposes was $9,071.06, 
 $Sii7S-33 of which was received by local tax. S. Whitford Maxson was 
 school commissioner. 
 
 Ellisburgh (p. o.) village is located on the south branch of Sandy Creek, 
 about four miles from its mouth, and is the oldest village iti the town. A 
 postoffice was established here in 1806, and Lyman ElHs was the first post- 
 master. Among the early industries here was a clothing works, by Joseph

 Bullock, Hiram Warren's tannery, Lyman Ellis's grist and saw-mill, above 
 " Stone Mills," and a grist-mill owned by Andrew Scott and Thomas Davis, 
 and located where the Hudson furniture factory now is. The village is 23 
 miles from Watertown, 163 from Albany, and 305 from New York city. It 
 contains three or four general stores, two drug stores, a hardware store, whole- 
 sale seed store, two hotels, two grist-mills, a saw-mill, sash, door, blind, 
 and furniture manufactory, a number of shops, a cheese factory, telephone 
 and American express offices, a daily stage to Pierrepont Manor, and a pop- 
 ulation of about 400. 
 
 Belleville (p. o.) village is situated on the north branch of Sandy Creek, 
 20 miles from Watertown, and 175 miles from Albany. Settlements were 
 commenced here by Metcalf Lee, Bradley Freeman, Joshua Freeman, Martin 
 Barney, James, Benjamin, and Jedediah McCumber, and others who engaged 
 in farming, about 1802. The place being favorably situated for mills it grad- 
 ually grew to a village. Its name is said to have been suggested by Calvin 
 Clark, an early merchant here, and taken from Belleville, Canada. It had 
 first been known as Hall's Mills, from Giles Hall, who, in 1806, purchased of 
 J. McCumber a hydraulic privilege here. The first merchant was Laban 
 Brown, and John Hawn kept the first tavern. The Sackets Harbor and ElHs- 
 burgh Railroad, completed in 1853, passed through this village and gave it a 
 healthy impulse for a time. The road was discontinued in 1862. The first 
 school was taught here in 1805, in a blacksmith shop, and in 1807 a log 
 school-house was erected. This building was without floors, and its roof was 
 made of elm bark. The EUisburgh Agricultural Society's fair is held here. 
 Belleville village was incorporated in i860, and at an election held on May 
 29, of that year, the following officers were elected : De Alton Dwight, Al- 
 cander Dickinson, Daniel Hall, Abner M. Durfee, Calvin Littlefield, trustees; 
 Arthur J. Brown, clerk; William R. Pennell, Collins F. Armsbury, Henry F. 
 Overton, assessors; James E. Green, treasurer; Cyrus N. Rowe, collector; 
 Patterson W. Stevens, poundmaster. At this election 52 votes were cast. 
 Although Belleville is located principally on the north bank of the north 
 branch of Big Sandy Creek, the corporation includes a considerable territory 
 on the south side of the stream. The village now contains the Union Acad- 
 emy, two grist and flouring-mills, a woolen-mill, a cheese factory, four gen- 
 eral stores, one jewelry store, one millinery and fancy goods store, two cloth- 
 ing stores, a hardware store, drug store, a dealer in agricultural implements, 
 a furniture dealer, two wholesale seed dealers, two meat markets, two black- 
 smith shops, a shoe shop, two dentists, two physicians, an hotel, and about 
 500 inhabitants. 
 
 Pierrepont Manor is a post village and station on the R., W. & O. Rail- 
 road, and is located in the eastern part of the town, 19 miles from Water- 
 town, 164 from Albany, and 306 from New York city. Stages run daily to 
 EUisburgh, Woodville, and Rural Hill villages. The first settlement was 
 commenced here in 1805 by Joseph Allen, Pardon Earl, and Arnold Earl, 
 
404 TOWN OF ELLISBURGH. 
 
 who came in from Galway, N. Y., by way of Redfield to Adams, and thence 
 worked their way through the forest to Bear Creek. William Tabor, William 
 Case, and several others soon after settled here and engaged in farming. 
 Mr. Allen opened the first inn, and Oliver Snow the first store. Mr. Allen 
 also kept the first blacksmith shop. Pardon Earl became a local land agent 
 and a man of extensive business, residing here until his death in 1844, aged 
 62 years. The first school-house here was built on the north side of Bear 
 Creek, in 181 1, and served the purpose of school-house, church, and place 
 for public meetings. The first school teacher was Orson Tuller. Thomas 
 E. Williamson was the first postmaster. The village now contains one hotel, 
 two general stores, one millinery and fancy goods store, two blacksmith shops, 
 harness shop, meat market, a fruit evaporating establishment, a livery stable, 
 two churches (Episcopal and Union), about 60 dweUings, and 300 inhabi- 
 tants. It has telegraph, telephone, and express offices. 
 
 Mannsville (p. o.) is located in the southeastern part of the town, on 
 Skinner Creek, 21 miles from Watertown, 161 from Albany, and 303 from 
 New York city, and is a station on the R.,W. & O. Railroad. David I. An- 
 drus, as agent for Samuel Wardwell, of Rhode Island, was the first settler 
 here previous to 181 1. In 1822 Daniel Wardwell, son of Samuel, came on 
 and took charge of the purchase made several years previously by his father, 
 and in 1823 commenced the erection of a cotton factory, which stood a short 
 distance below the present village, and was fitted for 600 spindles. Major 
 H. B. Mann soon after purchased an interest in the factory, which was burned 
 February 16, 1827. Upon the estabhshment of a postoffice here the 
 present name was given to the village in honor of Newton Mann, one of the 
 early settlers. David I. Andrus erected the first saw-mill here, and after- 
 wards the first dweUing, which was subsequently used as a tavern. The vil- 
 lage now contains two general stores, two drug and grocery stores, a grocery, 
 flour, and feed store, a grocery, bake stuffs and confectionery store, a 
 hardware and agricultural implement store, a furniture and undertaking es- 
 tablishment, three blacksmith shops, a millinery and fancy goods store, shoe 
 shop, a cider and vinegar manufactory, gnst-raill, saw-mill, tannery, two meat 
 markets, an hotel, photograph gallery, a lawyer, three physicians, several 
 churches, and about 500 inhabitants. 
 
 WooDViLLE (p. o.) village is located on the north branch of Sandy Creek, 
 about three miles from its mouth, 22 miles from Watertown, 170 from 
 Albany, and 312 from New York city. The settlement was begun here by 
 Ebenezer, Ephraim, and Jacob Wood, sons of Rev. Nathaniel Wood, of 
 Middletown, Vt., who came in to look for lands with Orimal Brewster, Simeon 
 Titus, Ephraim Wood, Jr., and Hezekiah Leffingwell, in the fall of 1803. 
 May 26, 1804, Ebenezer and Ephraim Wood purchased a tract of 754 acres, 
 for which they paid $2,294.80, and, in March, Ephraim came in with a daughter 
 and three sons. Nathaniel Wood, father of Ephraim, came on in June, 1804. 
 Obediah Kingsbury, Oliver Scott, and others came the same year. A small 
 
TOWN OF ELLISBURGH. 405 
 
 saw-mill was built and in 1805 got in operation. In 1805 Ebenezer Wood, 
 Nathaniel Wood, Jr., Mosely Wood, Samuel Truesdale, and families, and 
 •several young men, came in. Oliver Batcheller opened the first blacksmith 
 shop in the village about 18 ro. The first store and the first hotel were kept 
 by Ebenezer Wood, in his dwelling. The postoffice was established here be- 
 tween 1820 and 1830. The village now contains one general store, an hotel, 
 grist-mill, door, sash, and blind factory, wagon shop, blacksmith shop, paper- 
 mill, saw-mill, cheese factory, a drug and grocery store, telegraph, telephone, 
 and express oflSces, and about 100 inhabitants. J. F. Converse's Riverside 
 slock farm is also located here. 
 
 Rural Hill (p. o.) is a small hamlet in the northwestern part of the town. 
 The postoffice was established here in 1849, and Philo Hungerford was 
 appointed postmaster. The first settlement was commenced here in the 
 spring of 1815 by Jedediah Hill. The locality was once known as " Buck 
 Hill." Edwin Burnham opened a store here before the establishment of 
 the postoffice, caUing it " Rural Hill store," hence the present name. It has 
 had at different times several stores and shops and a hotel, but at present 
 has very little business. 
 
 Wardwell is a settlement in the northeastern part of the town on the 
 south branch of Sandy Creek, and was once considered of enough importance 
 to have a postoffice, which has been discontinued. 
 
 Union Academy of Belleville. — Some time previous to 1824 Rev. Joshua 
 Bradley, an eminent Baptist divine, made a persistent effort to mterest the 
 people in the vicinity of Belleville on the subject of education. He canvassed 
 the towns of EUisburgh and Henderson, here and there, and everywhere, 
 again and again, to influence the people to give from their limited means for 
 the purpose of schools. Before the building was determined upon he opened 
 a school of higher grade at Mather's Mills, in the upper part of the house 
 belonging to John R. Hawes, and employed Mr. H. H. Haff as teacher. 
 This school was opened in the fall of 1824, and its prosperity awakened 
 a greater interest, so that the people were anxious to establish an academic 
 institution in Belleville. After a long trial Mr. Bradley presented a plan for 
 a manual labor school, and stock was subscribed sufficient to erect a build- 
 ing. A lot of about six acres was given by Giles Hall to be forever after 
 used for school purposes. April 13, 1826, an act of incorporation was ob- 
 tained by which Jotham Bigelow, Orin Howard, James W. Kennedy, John 
 Hagedorn, Amos Heald, Peter N. Cushman, Wesson Thomas, Pardon Earl, 
 Samuel S. Haws, Edward Boomer, Sidney Houghton, Benjamin Barney, 
 Samuel Boyden, Ebenezer Webster, Israel Kellogg, Jr., Jesse Hubbard, 
 Hiram Taylor, Henry Green, Rufus Hatch, Charles B. Pond, Calvin Clark, 
 John Barney, ist, Samuel Pierce, and Godfrey W. Barney were constituted, 
 with such as might associate with them, a body corporate, under the name of 
 ^' Union Literary Society," to have perpetual succession, and limited in their 
 powers to the support of an academic school ; the yearly income of their

 estate might not exceed $5,000 ; the number of their trustees, from 241© 
 30, to be elected annually, or until others were chosen. Elections were held 
 on the first Wednesday of November, and the payment of $5 entitled 
 to membership and one vote. The school was moved into the upper part 
 of the stone church in the village. The stone school building was erected in 
 1828, and dedicated January i, 1829, and on the 5th day of January, 1830,. 
 it was received under the visitation of the Regents, upon the application of 
 the trustees and Benjamin Durfee, Nahum Houghton, James McCumber, 
 Henry Shaver, Jesse Brewster, Matthew Green, Thomas Clark, Amos Pratt, 
 Daniel Wait, Culver Clark, Jotham Littlefield, Wadsworth Mayhew, and 
 Charles Avery, who had contributed to its erection. Charles Avery was 
 appointed principal in 1829, and he served two years, being assisted the first 
 year by Isaac Slater and the second year by W. D. Waterman. The academy 
 flourished to a degree that justified the highest expectation of its friends, and 
 attracted great numbers of students from distant parts of the county. A 
 building was erected for a shop, partially furnished with tools, a,nd a few stu- 
 dents engaged on the manual labor plan. This was soon abandoned, how- 
 ever, and the building sold and converted into a dwelling. The second! 
 principal was George W. Eaton, a graduate of Union College, who was suc- 
 ceeded by La Rue Ferine Thompson, who served two years, when Joseph 
 MuUin (late Judge Mullin), a graduate of Union College, became principal, 
 remaining one year, he being succeeded by Hiram H. Barney, also a Union 
 graduate, who remained about two years. Lyman E. Boomer became prin- 
 eipal in 1836, and was followed by Truman C. Hill in 1837. Both were 
 graduates from Union College. During this time the debt on the building 
 had been accumulating by reason of the unpaid interest on a mortgage, and 
 in the fall of 1837 the academy was closed by the mortgagee. The trustees 
 engaged with much zeal to raise the required amount, and were greatly 
 assisted by Rev. Jedediah Burchard, the noted evangelist. Their efforts were 
 attended with success, and in 1840, after needed repairs had been made, the 
 academy was reopened under the principalship of Rev. George I. King, who 
 was assisted by his wife, Betsey Sprague, as preceptress, and David Hunter. 
 The school was well attended at once, and great joy was manifest among 
 students and citizens that " Old Union " was again free. 
 
 In the fall of 1841 Mr. King associated with him Richard Ellis, a graduate 
 of Hamilton College, as joint principal. Mr. Ellis had, during the acad- 
 emy vacation, been teaching a mathematical and classical school in the vil- 
 lage. In 1843 Mr. King resigned and Mr. EUis became principal, who the 
 same year was succeeded by Orsemus Cole, a Union College graduate. In 
 1845 Calvin Littlefield became principal, and he was followed by G. S, 
 Ramsey, in 1847, with Mr. Ellis as assistant ; in 1848, Mr. Ellis ; 1850, John 
 P. Houghton, Miss Porter, preceptress. In the fall of 185 1 J. Dunbar 
 Houghton, a young man who had prepared for college at Union Academy 
 and graduated from Union College, became principal, with Miss Porter as

 preceptress the first year, who was followed successively by Miss A. E. Bar- 
 ret, Miss Charlotte M. King, and Mrs. E. A. Ellis (formerly Miss Barret). 
 The old building being entirely inadequate to the comfort and convenience 
 of the increasing patronage, the trustees erected the present commodious 
 structure in front of the stone building, at a cost of about $4,000, and had 
 it ready for occupancy in October, 1856. The principal and family moved 
 into rooms arranged for them in the fall of 1857. The following is a list of 
 teachers employed in 1856: Rev. J. Dunbar Houghton, A. M., principal; 
 Rev. J. W. Whitfield, teacher of painting and drawing ; N. W. Buel, M. D., 
 physiology and anatomy ; Miss Lois M. Searles, preceptress ; Mrs. E. A. 
 Houghton, music ; Miss Amelia Brigham, ornamental. In the winter of 
 1858 A. J. Brown and wife were added to the corps of teachers. In 1859 
 J. P. Buckley and George Fox became teachers. In 1861 Buckley and Fox 
 enlisted in the civil war; the latter was killed while on picket duty in 1861, 
 and the former in the second battle of Bull Run. At the close of the aca- 
 demic year ending July, 1864, Prof. Houghton, who had been in charge of 
 the school for 13 years, resigned his position. During his administration 
 grounds for a beautiful park had been laid out, and valuable books and ap- 
 paratus had been purchased for the institution. The attendance was large, 
 being, in 1852, 188; 1855,287; 1858,205; 1860,227; 1862,236; 1864, 
 219. In 1864 Fev. Benjamin D. Gifford became principal, and he was suc- 
 ceeded in 1865 by Rev. Buel A. Smith. The whole number of pupils in 
 1866 was 342. In i868 R. L. Thatcher was principal; in 1869, '70, '71, 
 '72, '73, W. W. Grant; in 1874, Henry Carver; from 1875 to 1881, George 
 F. Sawyer. The next principal was William C. Joslin,who served until the 
 fall of 1884, when Henry A. Gaylord, A. B., an alumnus of Amherst Col- 
 lege, became principal, and is now serving in that capacity. Under Prof. 
 Gaylord's administration the school has been greatly prospered. His assis- 
 tants are James G. Riggs, A. B., mathematics and natural sciences ; Charles B. 
 Durfee, book - keeping and penmanship ; Miss Nora Blanchard, lady prin- 
 cipal, English, French, and German ; Mrs. H. A. Gaylord, vocal and instru- 
 mental music. The academy is delightfully situated in the midst of a rich 
 farming community in the village of Belleville. It has an endowment fund 
 of more than $34,000, and also the Frederick WiUiams scholarship fund of 
 $3,000, and a scholarship fund of $2,000, the bequest of the late Eunice E. 
 Shepardson. The library consists of about 1,675 well-selected volumes, of 
 which histories and books of reference form an important part, though 
 works of standard fiction are well represented.

 water-power, with a capacity for cutting 175,000 feet of lumber per year. 
 
 John Q. Johnson's saw-mill, on Lindsey Creek, is operated by water-power, 
 and does custom work. 
 
 B. C. &= E. I. Caster's mills, at Wardwell settlement, on the south branch' 
 of Sandy Creek, are engaged in the manufacture and planing of lumber. 
 About 10,000 cheese boxes are also annually manufactured here. 
 
 C. F. Calkin's saw-mill, located near Pierrepont Manor, does custom 
 work. 
 
 Mannsville steam saw-mill wz.5 built by Finster & Woodward about 1872. 
 The present proprietors are Curtis & Winchester. The mill has the capacity 
 for sawing 10,000 feet of lumber per day. 
 
 George S. Hudsoiis saw-mill and furniture manufactory, located in the 
 north part of EUisburgh village, were formerly known as Wild's mills. Fifteen 
 men are employed, and about $15,000 worth of furniture and sash and blinds 
 are manufactured annually. 
 
 The first settlement in the town of EUisburgh was made by Lyman Ellis, 
 in the spring of 1797, and was the first settlement in the territory now em- 
 braced within the limits of Jefferson County* In the spring of 1797 Marvel 
 and Lyman Ellis, brothers, both of whom were interested in the purchase of 
 the town from Constable, previously noted, came to the town, Lyman with 
 a view of permanent settlement. In the fall of the same year Caleb Ellis, 
 having met with Lyman Ellis at Rome, was casually introduced with the 
 expectation that a relationship existed, but none was found ; yet the interview 
 resulted in an invitation to settle in the new town. Caleb Ellis accordingly 
 visited the town and selected a farm on the south branch of Sandy Cteek, at a 
 place where one Waldo had the year previous erected a hunter's shanty. 
 
 At the close of the same season Lyman Ellis had built a dam and saw- 
 mill, three-fourths of a mile below the present site of EUisburgh village, and 
 the mill was got in operation the same fall, but was partly swept away the 
 next spring by a flood. In the winter of 1797-98 William Hicks, with 
 
 Butler and B. Pierce, remained in the town, and in the spring of 
 
 1798 Caleb Ellis and family, Robert Fulton, Elijah Richardson, Hezekiah 
 Pierce, Chauncey Smith, William Root, Vial Salisbury, Isaac Waddle, 
 Abram Wilcox, two men by the name of Thornton, and others came into 
 town with Lyman EUis to rebuild the mill and erect a grist-mill ; but nearly 
 all were taken sick, and the pioneers were reduced to great suffering frot» 
 want of provisions and necessary medical attendance. 
 
 * Excepting a military settlement which was made on Carleton Island about 1778. 
 
TOWN OF ELLISBURGH. 41 1 
 
 Mary Ellis, a young daughter of Caleb, was the first person to die in the 
 town, and the first death of an adult was that of Samantha Howard. The 
 first birth is said to have occurred in the summer of 1798 — a son, who was 
 given the name Ontario, to Hezekiah Pierce. The first female born in the 
 town was Harriet Howard. 
 
 On September 11, 1798, Marvel Ellis wrote to Constable as follows : — 
 
 "We have a good dam across the creek, which has been expensive; a good saw-mill well 
 finished, and running, and have done considerable towards a grist-mill. We have on the same 
 lot a large and handsome improvement, have had a fine crop of wheat, and have very fine 
 corn. The people that are on the land have good improvements for the time and are 
 industrious. I inclose you an account of the small sales to the settlers, the price sold for, and 
 what has been received, which is a small sum in proportion to what has been laid out on the 
 land; if people would have been satisfied of having a release from the mortgage, by paying 
 you, we should have had sufBcient to have made the present payment now due. The remaiuder 
 of the money due from these settlers is due within a year. We wish you to give us some fur- 
 ther indulgence, and something to convince the people that you will release from the mortgage 
 on receiving payment, which will enable us to make payments for the land, and make a large 
 settlement soon." 
 
 Inclosed in the foregoing was the following list, with the number of acres 
 taken up by each : Joseph Caldwell, 60 ; William Hicks, 51; John G. Hay- 
 ward, 150; Caleb Ellis, 126; Neal Salisbury, 100; Elijah Pettibone, 100; 
 John Paddock, 50; Isaac Southerland, 130; Asahel Humphrey, 419 ; Elisha 
 Phillips, 100; Levi Root, 140; Hezekiah Pierce, 149. 
 
 The first corn and potatoes raised in the county by the present race of 
 settlers was by Lyman Ellis in 1797, who also, in 1798, was probably the 
 first to raise winter wheat. 
 
 During the severe winter of 1798-99, when the snow lasted from the 29th 
 of October until April 20th, the pioneers suffered severely, and one Gideon 
 Howard, who was overtaken by a storm near Little Sandy Creek, while 
 returning from Rome, was detained in the woods three days and nearly per- 
 ished from fatigue and hunger. 
 
 In the spring of 1799 Mr. Ellis's dam was again swept away and the mill 
 partly destroyed, when this and the frame of a grist-mill were removed to the 
 present village above, and the grist-mill was got in operation about 1803. 
 
 James Constable, brother of William, made tours through these northern 
 counties in the summer months of 1803-06, on business connected with the 
 estate of his deceased brother, of which he was one of the executors. In his 
 diary, under date of September 7, 1803. he wrote : — 
 
 * * * " Mr. Ellis has lived here nearly six years, and all he has received from our 
 testator has been $221 for commission on land sold. A lot was promised him upon condition 
 of his coming to reside, but he never got a deed for it, though his mills were first erected 
 there, from whence they have since been removed to where they now are. He now asks the 
 ex'rs for a conveyance for the lot promised, being No. 94, and for time to pay the above bal- 
 ance, the security for which is ample, as his buildings are valued at $2,000, and the title of 
 the lot they are on is stiU with the executors. 
 
 "There are about 40 famihes in the town, most of them poor, but of that description of 
 people fit to settle a new country; few comforts about them, and they seem to have few 
 wants; no liquor is to be had, and they have not yet begun to distill, nor are there any apples

 to make cider, so that their only drink is water, with which they seem content. They do not 
 hesitate about the price of $3, but paying one-quarter down is very difficult for most of them. 
 Tliere are good horned cattle amongst them; the horses indifferent, but the only ones fit for a 
 new counti-y. They do not seem to regard distance, and go nine or 10 miles backward and 
 forward daily, over roads that are nearly impassable." * * * 
 
 At this time the town was not honored by the presence of a clergyman, and 
 the nearest physician was 20 miles away. 
 
 Regarding his visit to EUisburgh the following year, under date of August 
 2[, 1804, Mr. Constable's diary says : — 
 
 "Proceeded on to EUisburgh, and found the road from EUisburgh so extremely bad and 
 50 seldom traveled, and another route, shorter and better, presents itself, so that I have, by 
 the advice of Mr. Wright, judged it advisable to alter the latter. * * * The road wiU be 
 nearly direct from Rome to EUisburgh, and about 43 miles. 
 
 " August 23. Went down Sandy Creek to the lake, and found the marsh covered with 
 hay-stacks, the contents of which had grown spontaneously, and there are many horses and 
 <3attle at pasture, which proves that this place is of consequence. Some of it is indeed very 
 fine and the people are very desirous of buying, but no judgment can be formed of the quan- 
 tity of good and bad, and L. Ellis is therefore to send me an estimate before the price is fixed. 
 Went to Christopher Edmonds' on the north side of the creek. He has a fine farm and has 
 produced the best corn in the town. He expects this year a yield of about 90 bushels per 
 acre. This article is very fine throughout the place, but the wheat has been affected by the 
 fly and riist. The establishment has flourished generally; many settlers have come in since 
 last year, and more are expected. There are now 60 families, and though oases of fever and 
 -ague happen near the lake, and sometimes the lake fever, yet the country is a healthy one, 
 and the soil so good that it will settle fast." 
 
 The remainder of this year's journal, and the first of the following year, 
 relates to other sections than the town of EUisburgh, and are omitted. In 
 1805 his visit was made in August. His diary continues : — 
 
 * * * "On the way to EUisburgh found many settlers since last year, and the im- 
 provement considerable; the crops of wheat excellent, and the corn good, as they have suf- 
 fered little from drought. Arrived at EUis' at noon to remain two or three days. The mills 
 are in tolerably good order, but the water so low they can grind only part of the day. Grists 
 are brought from a great distance, and in boats from Oswego, and lower. Ellis has built a 
 BmaU house for himself, and a good barn. * * * 
 
 " August 9. * * * A school-house is nowbuilding near EUis' Mills, on the same lot, to 
 be two stories high, the upper of which is to be devoted to divine service, when any minister 
 travels that way. The town have also subscribed towards building a bridge across the creek, 
 at the same place, and we agreed to contribute $20, as they could not raise sufficient, but they 
 have engaged to improve the road from the bridge to the north line of No. 10. Dr. Dresser 
 has but two patients, and there is less sickness than at any previous year in this season." 
 
 The proprietors had adopted the practice of giving certificates, allowing 
 people a certain time after exploring to go for their families before taking 
 contracts, but it was found that in many cases these had been transferred, 
 and this having grown into a system of speculation, was discontinued as they 
 were given to assist the first real settlers, and their transfer operated against 
 the interest of both land owners and settlers. Mr. Constable's journal of 
 August, 1806, speaking of the settlements in EUisburgh, says: — 
 
 " From Asa Brown's passed on to Andrews' settlement, or EUisburgh, through a very good 
 road, four miles. He has made considerable improvement here. The saw-mill has been long 
 in use, and has enabled them to erect frame houses, some good barns, and a large grist-mUl, 
 which is, however, not yet finished. * * * EUis rents the mills for i400 per annum, and

 his affairs will soon be in good order. * * * There have been some cases of sioknesB dur- 
 ing the season, but none fatal. Dr. Draper * is still on the town, and has considerable practice. 
 He will continue here, and hopes to build a house next year, when he will require a deed for 
 the 50 acres of land to which he is entitled. I should have remarked that 180 militiamen 
 trained here yesterday (September 2), and it is said by some that one-third were absent. If 
 so, the population has greatly increased." 
 
 January 22, 1803, George Tibbets and James Dole, of Troy, were ap- 
 pointed agents for EUisburgh, and in 1807 were paid for their services in 
 land. In the same year Benjamin Wright, of Rome, succeeded as general 
 agent for the estate, and fixed his residence at Pulaski, where he continued 
 in the capacity of surveyor and agent until employed on the canal surveys. 
 
 The embargo act of 1808 received much opposition from the Federal party 
 in this part of the county. In September, i8o8, an event occurred in this 
 town that caused great excitement at the time. A party from Oswego, under 
 Lieut. Asa Wells, entered Sandy Creek, and after seizing a quantity of pot- 
 ash, under the embargo laws, proceeded to the house of Capt. Fairfield, sur- 
 rounded it, and seized and carried away a swivel. Capt. Fairfield being ab- 
 sent, his wife made complaint to a justice, who issued a warrant. The con- 
 stable was intimidated and called upon his fellow citizens to aid him, when 
 about 30 men took arms and went with him, but Wells's men presented bay- 
 onets, when they desisted, and 20 of the men went off. Lieut. Wells ordered 
 the remainder to be disarmed and bound, when they were taken, with the 
 swivel, to Oswego. On the evening of the 25th of September the same party 
 returned for the purpose of taking the magistrate and constable who had 
 issued the papers. A warrant against Wells, and two others, for felony, in 
 breaking open a house, was issued at Sackets Harbor, and given to Ambrose 
 Pease, a constable, to execute, who, after examining the law, raised the hue 
 and cry, and assembled about 200 persons in EUisburgh,. where a consulta- 
 tion of several magistrates was held, and the next day at sunrise about 70 or 
 80 men, armed and equipped, volunteered to aid in the arrest, but the magis- 
 trates durst not issue the order for their march, being apprehensive that some 
 excess or injury might be done; and the question having been raised whether 
 a constable had a right to demand aid before he had been resisted, the armed 
 men were advised to disperse, and the civil officer requested to proceed to ap- 
 prehend Wells and the others, without the force of the county. This proceed- 
 ing was charged, by one of the political parties, as an attempt of the other to 
 resist, by force of arms, the execution of the laws, and mutual criminations 
 were exchanged with much bitterness. To justify themselves and secure pub- 
 lic opinion in their favor the civil officers who had taken an interest in the 
 matter prepared the following statement, which was published in the newspa- 
 pers of the day, at Utica, Albany, and elsewhere : — 
 
 " At a meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Jefferson, in the state of New York, 
 suddenly convened (oy command of the civil authority} in the town of EUisburgh, to take

 into consideration the proper and legal mode to apprehend certain felons and robbers, who, in 
 the town of Ellisburgh, in said county, being armed, and under the pretense of being in the 
 service of the United States, to enforce the embargo laws, did there violently and forcibly 
 enter into the dwelling house of Captain Fairfield, broke open the locks, forced open the doors, 
 and robbed the said Captain Fairfield of his property, contrary to the laws: that they refused 
 to submit to the civil authority of the country, and did then and there, by force and arms, 
 seize, bind, and carry away to Oswego 10 of our fellow citizens, who were commanded to attend 
 a civil officer in the execution of process on the said offenders; which citizens have been kept 
 since, in close confinement, in want of every comfort and convenience of life, without lawful 
 authority, and constantly subject to insult of soldiery, who seem insensible of the rights, 
 privileges, and liberties of Americans. Feeling the spirit of freemen, and viewing this and 
 many other late acts of violence as rapid strides towards despotism and martial law among us, 
 the establishment of which must occasion a total deprivation of rights for which our fathers 
 and many of us have fought and bled; therefore, 
 
 " Resolved, That we consider it a duty incumbent on us, for our personal safety, for the 
 security of our lives and property, and for the support of oiu- civil law and authority, to write 
 in all lawful measures to apprehend the said felons. 
 
 " Resolved, That such of our fellow citizens who have assembled in arms to aid our magis- 
 trates and civil officers in the execution of lawful process against Lieut. Asa Wells, and others, 
 who stand charged under oath of felony, be requested to disperse, until another trial be made 
 by them to apprehend the said Asa Wells. 
 
 "Resolved, That the magistrates and civil authorities of the neighboring counties be 
 requested to aid us in apprehending and bringing to justice the said Lieut. Wells, and divers 
 other personp concerned in said felony. 
 
 " Resolved, That we will support the laws and magistrates of the country, and our civil 
 officers in the execution of lawful process. 
 
 "Resolved, Thai Augustus Sacket, Jesse Hopkins, and John Cowles, Esq., magistrates of 
 the county, be appointed a committee to cause these resolutions to be published, for the infor- 
 mation of our fellow citizens.

 In the spring of 1814 a detachment of troops under Lieut. Woolsey, 
 guarding a quantity of military stores from Oswego, were attacked by a 
 detachment from the British fleet near the mouth of Sandy Creek. The 
 Americans were completely victorious, as will be seen by the details of this 
 event given under the heading " War of 1812." 
 
 In 1828 the town was visited by a sickness remarkable for its fatality, 
 especially in the vicinity of the lake, where the water was extremely high 
 and overflowed the marshes. The disease assumed the type of a malignant 
 typhoid fever, and was very general, extending along the entire frontier. 
 
 Many shipwrecks have occurred on the shore of the lake in this town since 
 the country was first settled. The first of which we find record was in the 
 fall of 1800, when a small schooner under command of Capt. Gammon was 
 lost off Little Stony Creek and all on board perished. A boat with eight 
 men, that was sent in search of the vessel, was also swamped and all on board 
 drowned. About 1807 a family was located at the mouth of Sandy Creek to 
 afford aid to shipwrecked persons, and this lonely dwelling sheltered many a 
 suffering sailor who might otherwise have perished. 
 
 In the autumn of 1876 a life-saving station was established at the mouth 
 
TOWN OF ELLISBURGH. 415 
 
 ■of Big Sandy Creek. The building is of wood, 45 by 20 feet, and the station 
 is provided with the necessary apparatus. The eastern coast of Lake Onta- 
 rio is' a dangerous locality in time of storms, and this station is a wise 
 provision for the protection of the lives of the sailors on the lake. 
 
 A survey of the mouth of Sandy Creek was made in 1829, by order of the 
 general government, with the view of improving it for a harbor. The cost 
 of the work was estimated at $36,000, and was commenced and ended with 
 the survey. 
 
 The journal of Rev. John Taylor's missionary tour through the Mohawk 
 and Black River countries, in 1802, mentions and describes several ancient 
 forts in this town. They have been fully described in the County Chapter in 
 connection with the subject of pre-historic fortifications. 
 
 The town records contain descriptions of several of the early roads. The 
 first one, laid out October 7, 1803, is described as follows: — 
 
 "Beginning near the end of a road cut out on the sixth town from Levi Schofield's to 
 Hungry Bay, and where said road intersects a division-line of Great Lot 54 on said town; 
 thence (by courses given in description) to the south line of the town of Adams, meeting 
 a road laid out by the commissioners of said town to the said line." 
 
 Another road, laid out December 20, 1803, extended from " the road near 
 the house of Lyman EUis, on the north line of lot No. 76, thence north 81° 
 west along said line 164 chains and 66 links, until it intersects the road laid 
 out from Christopher Edmonds's to the town of Adams." 
 
 A road was laid out May 12, 1804, surveyed by Lyman Ellis, "Beginning 
 on the east line of lot No. 25 in said town, where the road that is laid out 
 running from Jeremiah Mason's to Joseph Holley's intersects said line; 
 thence north along said line 154 chains and 75 links, until it intersects the 
 road leading from Asahel Hoisington's up to the south side of north branch 
 of the Great Sandy Creek, to the town of Adams, laid out by actual surveys." 
 The same year roads were laid out from the south line of the town of Adams 
 to intersect the road laid out by the commissioners in 1803; and from the 
 mouth of Bear Creek to the west line of township No. t, 5^^ miles and 15 
 chains. Another road is recorded as " Beginning on the Ridge, so-called, 
 where the road leading from the mouth of Bear Creek, so-called, to the 
 west line of township No. i, crosses said Ridge ; thence (by bearings given) 
 ■to the south branch of Big Sandy Creek, and to the road by Mr. Isaac 
 Burr's." 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Baptist Church was the first to effect an organization in this town. 
 Elders Colwell and Littlefield, Baptists, at an early date adopted a Covenant 
 and Articles of Faith, and held meetings at Belleville. The Articles of Faith 
 •were decided by a council of brethren to be contrary to the faith of the 
 Baptist Church, and the meetings were accordingly discontmued, and for 
 some time there was no ministry of this order. About 1807 Joshua Freeman 
 
4l6 TOWN OF ELLISBURGH. 
 
 and Amos Noyes, two young men, commenced holding meetings at Belleville. 
 They were joined by Deacon Edward Barney, and others, and in August of 
 that year a regular Baptist church was organized. They enjoyed only occa- 
 sional preaching until 1810, when Martin E. Cook, a licentiate, was called' 
 to the care of the church. He was afterwards ordained and (with an interval 
 of two years in which Elder Bradley was employed) continued to labor in the 
 ministry successfully for 24 years. The following have since served as pastors i 
 Daniel D. Reed, Abner Webb, Joel H. Green, A. Webb (2d time), John F.. 
 Bishop, David McFarland, J. M. Shotwell, A. Cleghorn, G. W. Divoll, F. E. 
 Osborne, G. A. Ames, L. E. SpafFord, P. D. Root, C. E. Becker, and Milton 
 B. Comfort, the last named of whom assumed charge in the fall of 1881 and- 
 is the present pastor. At its organization the society consisted of 12 mem- 
 bers. Their house of worship is a wooden building, will seat 400 persons, 
 and was erected in 1836 at a cost of $5,000. The present value of church 
 property is $6,000. The present membership is 171. W. B. Doane is 
 superintendent of the Sunday-school, which has a membership of too. 
 
 In 1 819 a union meeting-house was erected at Belleville, costing about 
 $3,300, but the society never perfected its organization, which led to litiga- 
 tion. In March, 1829, the building was burned. A Baptist society had 
 been formed December 4, 1821, with Matthew Green, Benjamin Barney, and 
 John Barney, 2d, trustees. In 183 1 the present Baptist Church was built at 
 a cost of about $2,400. 
 
 T/ie Baptist Society at Woodville was formed January 27, 1825, with 
 Ebenezer Wood, Oliver Scott, Amaziah Filmore, Pedro Scott, Wilhara Ells- 
 worth, and Abijah Jenkins, trustees. The church was formed by Rev. 
 Asa Averill. 
 
 The Baptist Church of Mannsville was formed about 1831, by the union 
 of one in Lorraine and one in the west part of the town. The latter, 
 styled the Second Baptist Church of EUisburgh, was formed October 8, 1817, 
 under Timothy Brewster, assisted by Elders Emery Osgood, of Henderson;. 
 Matthew Wilkie, of Wilna ; Martin E. Cook, of EUisburgh ; and Elisha Mor- 
 gan, of Rutland. In 1833 this sect, with the Congregationalists, erected a 
 place of worship at a cost of $1,600. 
 
 The First Congregational Church of EUisburgh was formed by David M. 
 Dixon and Oliver Leavitt, January i, 1817, of six members. The Rev. J. A. 
 Clayton was employed soon after and was settled as pastor. November 11,. 
 1823, a society was formed, of which the trustees were Amos Hudson, Hiram 
 Taylor, Daniel Wardwell, John Otis, William T. Fisk, and William Cole. 
 The organization was given up in 1844. 
 
 The Congregatio7ial Church of Woodville was formed November 22, and a 
 society December 14, 1836, of which Ebenezer Wood, Oliver Batcheller, and' 
 William Gray were trustees. A union house had been erected and partly 
 finished previously; in 1837 it was taken down and a brick church erected* 
 at a cost of $1,100. Rev. Charles B. Pond became the first pastor, and was

 installed January 23, 1840. In four years Elisha P. Cook succeeded, since 
 whom David Powell, J. Burchard, Frederick Hebard, and others have been 
 employed. At its organization the church consisted of 18 members, and the 
 present membership is 80, with Rev. J. K. Griffith, pastor. In 1868 the 
 church edifice was rebuilt, and is now valued, including grounds, at $3,500. 
 J. H. Wood is superintendent of the Sunday-school, which has a membership 
 of 120. 
 
 The Second Congregational Church of EUisburgh was reorganized at 
 Mannsville, August 18, 1834, with Roswell Keeney, Benjamin G. Grenell, and 
 Daniel Wardwell, trustees. The early records of this church were destroyed 
 by fire. For a long time the society owned an interest in the only meeting- 
 house in the place (the Baptist), but in 1856 they erected their present frame 
 church edifice, at a cost of about $3,000. It will seat about 250 persons, is 
 surmounted by a spire, and stands in the eastern part of the village. 
 
 The First Presbyterian Society in the town of EUisburgh was formed 
 August 28, 1820, and elected Nathan Barden, Isaac Burr, William T. Fisk, 
 Amos Hudson, Liberty Bates, and Royce March, trustees. In 1830 it was 
 reorganized, and the same year erected in Belleville a meeting-house at a cost 
 of about $500. A church organization was formed at the house of Nathan 
 Barden, December 18, 1829, by the Rev. Jedediah Burchard, of five males 
 and six females, and on the i ith of February, 1830, it united with the Water- 
 town Presbytery. 
 
 The Universalist Church of EUisburgh was formed August 26, 1821, with 
 19 members. The persons chiefly instrumental in forming it were Isaac 
 Mendall, Silas Emerson, John Clark, and Rev. Cornelius G. Persons. The 
 society was formed September 2, 1833, with J. Mendall, Edmund M. 
 Eldridge, Daniel Stearns, Edmund Palmer, and Richard Cheever, trustees. 
 A house of worship was erected by Benjamin Bemis, at Ellis village, in 1843, 
 at a cost of $1,500. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Society, in EUisburgh village, was formed March 
 5, 1832, with OUver N. Snow, Benjamin Chamberlin, Lyman Ellis, Jeremiah 
 Lewis, and Hiram Mosley, trustees. In 1833 they built a church, which in 
 1850 was removed, repaired, and a steeple added. In 1836 a parsonage was 
 built. The church is a neat frame building, surmounted by a bell-tower and 
 spire, in the former of which is a splendid bell. 
 
 The First Methodist Episcopal Church and Society in Belleville was formed 
 May 5, 1841, having Edward Boomer, Elias Dickinson, Thomas Ellis, Edward 
 B. Hawes, Jesse Hubbard, Riley Chamberlain, Hall W. Baxter, Nelson 
 Boomer, and John R. Hawes, trustees. A church was built near the Ward- 
 weU settlement, and afterwards removed to BeUeviUe. This building has since 
 been sold to the Catholics, and the Methodists purchased the church built 
 by the Presbyterians. The parsonage belonging to the society was taken in 
 trade for the old church.

 St Johris Church (Roman Catholic), located at Belleville, was organized 
 in 1875 by Rev. James Hogan, with 60 members. Their house of worship 
 was purchased from the Methodists in 1875, will comfortably seat 250 persons, 
 and is valued, including grounds and other church property, at $2,000. The 
 present membership is 60, under the pastoral charge of Rev. James Haggerty. 
 
 Christ Church (Protestant Episcopal), located in EUisburgh village, was 
 organized September 3, 1879, by Rev. J. Muir, John P. Houghton, Alva J. 
 Smith, John J. Brown, and others, with lo members, Rev. John Muir, LL. B., 
 M. D., being the first rector, which position he has since retained. Their 
 first house of worship, a wood building, was erected in 1879, and cost about 
 $3,000. It will comfortably seat 200 persons, and is valued, including 
 grounds, etc., at about $4,000. The present membership is 25. 
 
 Zio7i Church (Protestant Episcopal), at Pierrepont Manor, was organized 
 with four members January 4, 1836, the building being erected and services 
 maintained by Hon. William C. Pierrepont. Rev. A. Treadway was the first 
 rector. Their first house of worship, a wood structure, was erected in 1835, 
 This building was repaired and greatly improved in 1887, and cost about 
 $4,500. It will comfortably seat 300 persons, and is valued, including 
 grounds and other church property, at about $7,000. The present number 
 of communicants is 60, and Rev. John Muir, LL. B., M. D., is rector. The 
 Sunday-school has four teachers and 60 pupils. The church, in first instance, 
 was planted here through the generous liberality of the Pierrepont family, 
 and gradually drew to it a portion of the people of the neighborhood. Hon. 
 William C. Pierrepont subsequently endowed the church, so that the services 
 might not lapse at any time. In reference to the present rector of Zion 
 Church the Dominion (Canada) Register (in its " Data respecting Cana- 
 dian Public Men ") has the following : —

 JAMES F. CONVERSE. 
 
 The subject of this sketch was born in Bridgewater, N. Y., October 2, 1825. 
 His father and grandfather were natives of Belchertown, Mass. His father, 
 Thomas Converse, came to Bridgewater at an early age and married Lydia 
 A. Stratton. In 1835 the family moved into EUisburgh, this county, and 
 bought the farm upon which Mr. Converse now lives. It is beautifully 
 located on the west bank of Big Sandy Creek, in the village of Woodville, and 
 contains 255 acres. 
 
 Mr. Converse prepared for college at Union Academy of Belleville, N. Y. 
 He graduated from Hamilton College at the age of 23 years. Owing to fail- 
 ing health he purchased the old homestead in 1848, and since that time has

 been actively engaged in a high order of farming. Mr. Converse is a pioneer 
 in stock circles in New York state. His herd of thoroughbred Ayrshires is 
 second to none in the United States, having won prizes in several exhibitions 
 from St. Louis to Boston. In his early career he made several importations 
 from Scotland, which were the foundation of several noted families, repre- 
 sentatives of which may still be seen in his stables. Eight Shetland ponies 
 came with the last importation of cattle, which formed a nucleus of small 
 horses from which have been rasied some of the finest specimens of " little 
 horses " found in the East. He has held the office of president of the 
 Ayrshire Breeders' Association of the United States and Canada for a num- 
 ber of years. 
 
 In 1874 Mr. Converse built a mammoth barn, which accommodates 100 
 head of cattle and 60 horses, with room for fodder for the entire number, 
 together with all the modern improvements for caring for fancy stock. He 
 has always been an advocate of advanced farming. His farm is in a high 
 state of cultivation, and is run on the high pressure principle. In 1876 he 
 built a large and commodious house on a gentle eminence overlooking the 
 village, and all things considered " Riverside " is a farmstead worthy of the 
 labor, time, and money the proprietor has so judiciously expended. 
 
 He has always taken an active part in agricultural organizations, both local 
 and state, having held offices in town, county, and state agricultural societies 
 for many years. Being a ready speaker, in 1889 he was chosen conductor of 
 of the State Farmers' institutes, thus doing all in his power to elevate his 
 chosen profession to the desired standard. Mr. Converse early affihated his 
 political faith with the RepubHcan party, and has been a staunch adherent 
 to its principles ever since. He has been a member of the Congregational 
 Church in his chosen village over 50 years. 
 
 November 12, 1857, Mr. Converse married Marietta Bull, daughter of 
 Alvah and Louise Bull, of Rural Hill, N. Y. This union was blessed with 
 two children, viz.: Frank Alvah, born May 12, 1862, and Marietta May, 
 born October 18, 1865. After a brief illness of typhoid fever Mrs, Converse 
 died November 18, 1865. He married for his second wife Adelia C. 
 Hopper, daughter of Samuel and Betsey Hopper, of Antwerp, N. Y. Two 
 children were the issue of this marriage, namely : George Henry, born June 
 26, 1870, and Clara Jerusha, born July 27, 1874. 
 
 Mr. Converse is a public spirited, warm hearted man, and enjoys an envia- 
 ble reputation among a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

 fine new residence has taken the place of the little cottage into which her father and mother

 between the two -viUages of Pierrepont Manor and Adams, and from the windows of her study 
 and the pleasant verandas a fine -view of Lake Ontario is obtained. Six generations of the 
 HoUey family have Uved and died in this place — quite an unusual occurrence in an American 
 iamUy. Miss HoUey's first book. My Opinions and Betsey Bobbet's, was pubUshed in 1873. 
 ■Since then she has published seven books, in order as foUows: Samanihaat the Centennial, 
 My Wayward Pardner, Miss Richards' s Boy, The Mormon Wife, an illustrated poem. Sweet 
 Gicily, Samantha at Saratoga, and a book of poems. She is a very busy writer, and has sev- 
 ■eral books now unfinished upon which she is at work. It is said that her work commands 
 about the largest price of any Ameriean writer. The genius of this gifted writer, while it 
 <leals ■with all phases of life with a freedom and wise insight of sympathy that seems born of 
 famiUarity and experience, sprang and developed to its broad proportions remote from the re- 
 alities her masterly pen so graphically delineates. And what a wonderful, aU-embraoing pen 
 it is! instinct with strong sense, pregnant with kindly satire and tearful pathos, combined 
 with a subtle, whimsical humor. It was in the peaceful, uneventful retirement of a country 
 home, by the side of an invaUd mother, that Marietta HoUey, while yet a child, began her life 
 work.

 HENDKRSON. 
 
 HENDERSON was formed from Ellisburgh, February 17, 1806, and 
 was named in honor of William Henderson, to whose share this town 
 fell in the division of the " Eleven Towns," of which this was No. 6. 
 It is bounded on the north and west by Lake Ontario and a small part of 
 Hounsfield, east by Adams, and south by Ellisburgh and the lake, and is the 
 most westerly town in the county, if we except Galloe and Stony islands, 
 which belong to the town of Hounsfield. Its form is irregular, being largely 
 indented by Henderson Bay, which extends about five miles from northeast 
 to southwest, forming an excellent harbor. The soil is either a light loam, or 
 sand, or an admixture of each, easy of tillage, and productive. The princi- 
 pal streams are Stony and Little Stony creeks, which take a southwesterly 
 course through the town and empty into Lake Ontario. 
 
 The surface of the town is much diversified. In the southwestern portion 
 the land is low, but little elevated above the surface ot the lake, and very 
 fertile. Forming a ridge in its rear, and extending around to Henderson 
 Bay, is the ancient lake-beach, rocky, and for some distance covered by a 
 very thin soil. At Henderson Bay the shores are higher and more abrupt,, 
 the basin being nearly occupied by the water. A rolling territory stretches 
 off to the south and east until the bluffs of Big Stony Creek are reached. 
 This stream has cut a deep channel through the limestone rock, and aside 
 from its interest to the geologists it presents many picturesque and attractive 
 features to the seeker after the beauties of nature. East of Henderson vil- 
 lage is a deep hollow, wherein a pond (Henderson Pond) has been formed by 
 an ancient beaver dam, the creek here spreading out and covering an extent 
 of perhaps 300 acres. Passing a ridge between Big and Little Stony creeks, 
 we reach the latter, which is but a small stream, yet has furnished power for 
 several mills in the past. In the southeast part of the town the stream passes 
 through Six Town Pond. In other portions of the town are found traces of 
 ponds which formerly existed, and the remains of dams built long since by 
 the beaver, which at an early day inhabited this region in vast numbers. 
 
 The area of Henderson is 23,501 acres. The town was surveyed into lots 
 in 1801, by Benjamin Wright, of Rome. In 1805 lot No. 20, near Hender- 
 
446 TOWN OF HENDERSON. 
 
 son Harbor, was surveyed into 20 lots, or four ranges, of 10 lots each, for 
 the purpose of a village. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the house of Reuben Putnam, March 
 II, 1806, at which Jesse Hopkins was chosen supervisor; Mark Hopkins, 
 •clerk ; Lodowick Salisbury, Daniel Spencer, and Emory Osgood, assessors ; 
 Elijah Williams, constable and collector; John B. Carpenter and Samuel Hub- 
 bard, poormasters ; Marvel Danley, Asa Smith, and Anthony Sprague, com- 
 missioners of highways ; George W. Clark, Willes Fellows, and Jedediah 
 McCumber, fence viewers ; Reuben Putnam, poundmaster ; Israel Thomas, 
 James Barney, Levi Scofield, Thomas Drury, Calvin Bishop, Robert Farrel, 
 Benjamin Barney, John B. Carpenter, William White, and Simeon Porter, 
 pathmasters. 
 
 Spafford's Gazetteer of 1813 says of Henderson : — 
 
 " Settlement commenced in 1803, by four or five families, increased in 1804 to 10, in 1805 to 
 70, and in 1810 to 180 families. There was a grist and a saw-mill near the center of the town, 
 and a saw-mill near the lake, and a grain and fulling-mill was built there about 1812." 
 
 The same author's Gazetteer of 1824 says of the town in 1820 : — 
 
 " The taxable property was valued at $99,244. There were 12 school districts; 7,504 acres 
 -of improved land; 2,526 cattle, 333 horses, and 5,093 sheep; 18,274 yards of cloth were made. 
 There were two grist-mills, five saw-mills, one fulling-mill, two carding machines, one distil- 
 lery, and nine asheries." 
 
 In 1880 Henderson had a population of 1,842. The town is located in 
 the first school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 13 school dis- 
 tricts, in which 14 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. There were 
 345 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance during the 
 year was 29,205. The total value of school buildings was $9^480, while the 
 assessed valuation of all the districts was $945,010. The whole amount 
 raised for school purposes was $3,122.75, $1,485.11 of which was received 
 by local tax. S. Whitford Maxson was school commissioner. 
 
 Henderson (p. o.) is an incorporated village located in the central part 
 of the town, on Stony Creek, principally on the north side of that stream. 
 It is 18 miles from Watertown, 178 from Albany, and 320 from New York 
 ■city, has telephone and American express offices, three churches (Baptist, 
 Methodist, and Universalist), three dry goods stores, two drug stores, two 
 hotels, two blacksmith shops, two millinery shops, a grist-mill, wagon shop, 
 sash, door, and blind manufactory, a cheese factory, meat market, stove and 
 tin shop, a furniture and undertaking establishment, a saw-mill, a jewelry 
 store, and about 400 inhabitants. This village was started about 1807 by 
 the erection here of a grist and saw-mill, by Deacon Fellows, on Big Stony 
 Creek. The first store here was started in 1 8 1 1 , by Lodowick Salisbury. The 
 second store in the town of Henderson was opened in 1809 or '10, about 
 three miles southeast from Henderson village, by Williams & McCumber. 
 Dr. Lowrey Barney was engaged as clerk in both of these stores. About 
 1808-09 Deacon Fellows built his house and opened a tavern, the first in

 the village. About 1810-11 the first distillery was built here, by a man 
 named Calkins. Another was subsequently started by William Henderson, 
 about 1815, who took corn in payment for land and manufactured it into 
 whisky, which brought a fair price in cash. Previous to 1812 a postoffice 
 was established at Henderson Harbor, with Mark Hopkins as postmaster. 
 The office was shortly after removed to Henderson village and Rev. Holland 
 Weeks, a Swedenborgian preacher, was installed as the first postmaster. 
 Dr. Daniel Barney was the first physician in this village and the second in 
 the town. 
 
 Henderson Harbor is a post village situated on Henderson Bay, 19 miles 
 from Watertown, 179 from Albany, and 321 from New York city. It has a 
 telephone and American express office, is an important shipping port on the 
 lake, and its business is increasing each year. It is quite noted as a summer 
 resort, and numerous fine cottages dot the pleasant shores of the bay. Its 
 hotels and cottages for summer boarders are the Brooklyn House, Edgewater 
 Cottage, Frontier House, Gill House, Lakeside Hotel, Paradise Park Ho- 
 tel, Snow-Shoe Hotel, and Bay View House. It has two commercial ware- 
 .houses, one store, and a boat Hvery. A postoffice was established here about 
 1812, but it was soon after transferred to Henderson village, and the Harbor 
 was without a postoffice until the establishment of one, with Charles Eggles- 
 ton as postmaster, January 1, 1890. This village first bore the appellation 
 of Naples, and when first laid out a lot of four acres was reserved for a pub- 
 lic square and donated to the village by Mr. Henderson. On this lot a frame 
 school-house was built. 
 
 Smithville is a post village 12 miles from Watertown (on the line between 
 the towns of Adams and Henderson), 178 from Albany, and 320 from New 
 York city. It has telephone and express offices, a daily stage from Sackets 
 Harbor, two stores, one church (Baptist), one hotel, two truss manufactories, 
 a grist-mill, saw-mill, carriage shop, two blacksmith shops, a cheese factory, 
 ■furniture manufactory, and about 200 inhabitants. 
 
 Bishop Street (p. o.) is a small hamlet in the eastern part of the town. 
 It has one church (Methodist Episcopal), saw-mill, wagon shop, wood turning 
 works, a telephone office, and about 100 inhabitants. 
 
 Henderson grist and flouring-mill, Frank Hadcock, proprietor, is located on 
 Big Stony Creek, at Henderson village. It is operated by water-power, and 
 has the capacity for doing an extensive business. 
 
 John Chapman's saw and shingle-mill, on Stony Creek, has the capacity 
 for cutting 200,000 feet of lumber and 700,000 shingles annually. 
 
 Rock Bottom creamery and cheese factory was established in 1886 by Ben- 
 jamin Worthingham, Epenetus Alexander, Fred Whitney, and Lewis M. 
 Truesdale. It has the patronage of 300 cows. 
 
 Highland Park, located on Henderson Bay, was established in 1880 by 
 W. D. Arms, R. M. Jones, and Dr. M. D. Manville, of Adams. It is pleas- 
 antly situated, and is beautifully laid out with shady avenues and drives, mak-

 ing it an attractive summer resort. During the season steam yachts ply- 
 between Sackets Harbor and the bay, stopping at this place and others, mak- 
 ing several trips each day to connect with trains. Many fine cottages have 
 been erected here, and the summer brings many visitors to this charming, 
 place. 
 
 Paradise Park, beautifully situated on Henderson Bay, opposite Henderson 
 Harbor, has an elevation of about 40 feet above the water. It affords a fine 
 view of Sackets Harbor, and also of the picturesque scenery surrounding: 
 this beautiful bay. A large hotel and numerous cottages have been erected 
 here, and withal the place is very attractive to those seeking a pleasant resort 
 during the heated term. This park was originated by H. W. Millard, in 1880^ 
 and is now the property of Charles H. Sprague. It is supplied with good- 
 dockage and boats, has numerous shady walks and drives, and is well patron- 
 ized by pleasure seekers. 
 
 The town of Henderson began to settle under the agency of Asher Miller, 
 of Rutland, about 1802, the land books showing that Thomas Clark, Samuel 
 Stewart, Philip Crumett, John Stafford, and Peter Cramer had taken up lands 
 in this town, to the extent of 1,195 acres, on October 26 previous. Moses 
 Barrett, William Petty, Daniel Spencer, Captain John Bishop and sons Cal- 
 vin, Luther, Asa, and Sylvester, Jedediah and James McCumber, Samuel 
 Hubbard, Elijah Williams, Levi Scofield, Wilham Johnson, David Bronson, 
 John and Marvel Danley, Andrew Dalrymple, Luman Peck, Jonathan Crapo, . 
 George W. Clark, Thomas Drury, Anthony Sprague, Daniel Forbes, Emory 
 Osgood, and many others settled within two or three years from the opening 
 of settlement, being mostly emigrants from New England. 
 
 The first actual settlement in the town, however, was made in 1 799 or 1800, 
 by David Bronson, a trapper, who built a small house on the bank of Big 
 Stony Creek, on lands afterwards occupied by Reuben Putnam, later by 
 George Collins, and now owned by William P. Davis. During the winter of 
 1800 and 1801, and spring following, he cleared some 20 rods more than an 
 acre, seeded it to timothy and red-top clover, and sowed a quantity of turnip 
 seed. In August he fenced the lot with black ash rails, and it is said the 
 same fence still remains on the west side of the lot. Mr. Bronson subse- 
 quently located on the farm now owned by L. Seaton, where he set out the 
 first apple orchard in the town, the second being planted by Christian Salis- 
 bury. Levi Scofield is said to have been the second settler, and his daughter 
 Rhoda was the first white child born in the town. 
 
 Oa Henderson Bay, three miles east of Henderson village, a Scotch set- 
 tlement was formed in 1803 by John and Duncan Drummond, Charles and 
 Peter Barrie, Duncan Campbell, Thomas Bell, James Crawe, Daniel Scott, ^ 
 and James McCrauU, from Perthshire, in Scotland. A store was opened by 
 C. Barrie in this same settlement in 1823, and was continued several years. 
 
 In 1803-04 but 10 families wintered in the town. In May, 1806, there 
 were 70 families, generally middle-aged and young people, with small prop--

 erty, but industrious and contented, although many were quite poor, who had 
 exhausted their means in getting into the town, and were destitute of provis- 
 ions. A contract was made soon after for clearing 25 acres of land at the 
 harbor, which the proprietor had hoped to establish as a commercial port, 
 and caused to be surveyed into a village plot, to which he gave the name of 
 Naples. Elias Skinner was the first physician to settle in the town, and 
 Daniel Barney was the second, the latter having settled in 1807. Alfred 
 Forbes is said to have taught the first school in the town, in the winter of 
 1808-09. The school-house was built of logs, and stood one and a fourth 
 miles south of Henderson village. Before the school-house was built at the 
 Harbor Dr. Skinner taught school in one end of his dwelling. It is said the 
 Doctor was a " brisk wielder of the birch and rule." 
 
 A paper showing the balance due from settlers in this town, January 1, 
 i8og, contains the following names of those who were living in the town at 
 that time: A. Jones, R. Favel, Jeremiah Harris, Horace Heath, Samuel Mc- 
 Nitt, Amos Hart, Daniel Hardy, Benjamin Hammond, Samuel Jones, Daniel 
 McNeil, Martin T. Morseman, Appleton Skinner, Asa and Ira Smith, Sam- 
 uel Foster, William Waring, William White, Daniel Pierce, John B. 
 Carpenter, Luther S. Kullinger, Lodowick Salisbury, T. Hundsen, W. White, 
 and Thomas Bull, who owed an aggregate of $17,734.87 for lands. Dr. Isaac 
 Bronson became an owner of a large tract in 1807, which was sold and set- 
 tled by a separate agency. Abel French succeeded Miller a few months in 
 the agency, and April 8, 1805, an agreement was made between William 
 Henderson and Jesse Hopkins, by which the latter became the agent of this 
 town and Pinckney, and continued in the employment of Mr. Henderson 
 many years. Some difficulty, growing out of the agency, led to the publica- 
 tion of a pamphlet by Mr. Hopkins in 1823, which affords some interesting 
 data relative to the early history of the town. Mr. Hopkins built a house and 
 opened a land office near the town of Naples, which he had laid out, the pro- 
 visions used for his laborers being brought from Kingston and the lumber 
 from EUisburgh and Sackets Harbor. In 1807 a small store was opened, 
 and several unccessful attempts were made to bring business to the place. 
 Among other measures Mr. Henderson procured the passage of a law for 
 the opening of a state road from Lowville to Henderson Harbor, which was 
 laid out from Lowville into Pinckney, but never completed. He also, in 1809, 
 caused a dam and saw-mill to be built on Stony Creek, near the head of 
 navigation, but the former gave way and the enterprise resulted in total loss. 
 In the next season the dam was rebuilt and a mill erected at great expense. 
 In i8n a negotiation was held with General Matoon, of Massachusetts, for 
 the sale of the township, but failed on account of the prospects of war. In 
 i8i2 iVIr. Hopkins erected a large-sized school-house, at the Harbor, which 
 was to serve also as a place for religious meetings. He also commenced the 
 building of vessels at this place, the first of which was a vessel of 20 tons. 
 In 1813 the Harbor contained two stores, two taverns, a tannery, and a shoe

 shop. In 1814 a second vessel of 40 tons and soon after two others were 
 built, and the place began to present the appearance of considerable busi- 
 ness. Mr. Hopkins continued in the agency until 1822, when, having fallen 
 considerably in arrears, caused by unfortunate speculation, he was super- 
 seded in the agency, and his improvements taken to apply on his liabilities. 
 
 There was an ancient portage from the head of Henderson Bay to Stony 
 Creek across this town, by which the exposure of passing Stony Point, which 
 forms a cape difficult to navigate with small boats, was avoided. At the head 
 of the bay there is said to be a trace, thought to be the remains of a kind of 
 wharf or landing. The evidences of aboriginal occupation were noticed in 
 one or two places in this town, and near an ancient trench enclosure there is 
 said to have been found a golden cross, about two inches long, and furnished 
 with a ring to be worn on the neck. 
 
 The remains of an old stockade, supposed to have been built by the 
 French, was found on Six Town Point. It was square, with bastions at the 
 angles, and its location was peculiarly adapted for defense. Six Town Point 
 is a narrow neck, or peninsula, extending into the lake on the west side of 
 Henderson Bay, and in high water becomes an island. Its continuance 
 forms several islands, to the west of which lie the group including Galloe and 
 Stony islands. 
 
 On Stony Point, the extreme western projection of Henderson, is a Hght- 
 house, built in 1837, an appropriation of $3,000 having been made March 3 
 of that year. The lake shore, from the mouth of Stony Creek northward 
 and eastward, is rocky, and free from bays of any kind between there and 
 Henderson Bay. In the other direction from Stony Creek the shore consists 
 of almost barren hills of sand, in the rear of which lie in many places exten- 
 sive marshes. The beauty of Henderson Harbor is probably unsurpassed on 
 the shores of Like Ontario ; and for extent, safety, and facility of access it 
 has no superior on the lake. 
 
 On Friday, September 5, 1879, a sad casualty occurred, which resulted in 
 the death by drowning of seven persons. Captain Byron M. and Nelson L. 
 Wescott, owners of the sailboat West Wind, left Campbell's Point with a 
 crew of seven men, intending to go to Henderson Harbor to participate in a 
 yacht race. Soon after starting their boat sprung a leak and was almost 
 immediately capsized by a sudden puff of wind. The boat was heavily bal- 
 lasted, and at once sank in 18 feet of water. Two of the men, Morgan 
 Weeks and Charles Washburn, clung to the mast of the boat and were saved. 
 The others attempted to swim to the shore, about 60 rods distant, and were 
 drowned. The names of the unfortunate ones were Byron M. and Nelson 
 L. Wescott, Allen Ramsey, Drake Lewis, Shuler Howard, Edgar York, and 
 Edward Benjamin. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 Henderson Baptist Church, located on Main street, in Henderson village, 
 was organized in 1822 by J. Cole, A. Brown, S. Atherton, and others, and at 
 
TOWN OF HENDERSON. 45 1 
 
 its organization consisted of 50 members, with Rev. Emory Osgood as first 
 pastor. The first house of worship was built in 1826. The present wooden 
 building was erected in 1853, at a cost of $2,400. It will comfortably seat 
 300 persons, and is now valued, including grounds and other church property, 
 at about $2,000. The present membership is 28, under the pastoral charge 
 of Rev. V. G. Shaffer. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church, located on Main street, in Henderson 
 village, was organized February 26, 1844, with 40 members, with Rev. S. 
 Slater as pastor. Their house of worship is a wooden structure, will com- 
 fortably seat 300 persons, was erected at a cost of $2,500, and is now valued, 
 including grounds, etc., at $4,200. The church now has 71 members, and 
 Rev. M. M. Rice is the present pastor. The Sunday-school has a member- 
 ship of about 130. 
 
 The Smiihville Congregational Church was formed January 3, 1824, by the 
 Rev. Abiel L. Crandall, and at its organization consisted of 10 male and 22 
 female members. They united with the Baptists in erecting a church. 
 
 The First Universalist Society of Henderson, in Henderson village, was 
 formed December 25, 1839, by Rev. Pitt Morse, the first pastor, and at its 
 organization consisted of 150 members. Their house of worship, a wood 
 structure, was erected in 1839, at a cost of $2,200, and is now valued, includ- 
 ing grounds, etc., at about $6,000. The church has 40 members, and no 
 regular pastor. The Sunday-school has a membership of 25. 
 
 The First Baptist Society of Smithville was organized in 1823 by Deacons 
 Roswell, Mills, and John Gibbs, with Rev. Emory Osgood, pastor. Their house 
 of worship, a stone structure, was built by the Baptists and Congregational- 
 ists in union, in 1832, and was occupied by each society on alternate Sab- 
 baths until 1878, when the Baptist Society made arrangements with the 
 Congregationalists to repair the house to the amount of $2,600, and they to 
 give the Baptist Church full control of the building. The church was re- 
 dedicated in 1878 as a Baptist church. The original cost of the structure, 
 with the improvements, was $4,000. It will comfortably seat 400 persons, 
 and is valued, including grounds, etc., at $3,000. The present membership 
 is 78, with Rev. V. G. Shaffer, pastor. The Sunday-school has 14 officers 
 and teachers and 85 scholars. 
 
 The First Congregational Church in Henderson (in Hough's History erro- 
 neously called a Presbyterian Church) was organized July 17, 1810, at the 
 dwelling of Thomas Drury, by Rev. Azariah Clark, mission pastor of the 
 Congregational Church in New Canaan. It consisted of the following mem- 
 bers: Willes Fellows, Sarah Fellows, Jonathan S. Alexander, Bathsheba Alex- 
 ander, Olivia Bates, Rebekah Bates, Samuel Parker (father of Rev. Orson 
 Parker, the evangelist), Thomas Drury, Rebekah Drury, Zoriah Hawkins, 
 Sarah Fletcher, Thankful Allen, and Rachel Skinner. The father and mother 
 of the great revivalist. Rev. Charles G. Finney, were members of this church. 
 Although the records are very meagre, yet two things appear prominent: dis-

 cipline was carefully administered according to the custom of that early day, 
 and also infant baptism was very generally practiced. Among the pastors of 
 the church appears the name of Rev. David Spear, August 31, 1828, who 
 was for 50 years a revered pastor of the Congregational Church at Rodman. 
 The records show that the meeting-house was built previous to June, 1819, 
 yet it is impossible to ascertain the exact date. This house continued to be 
 occupied by the church until sometime previous to August i, 1835, when it 
 was sold and the meetings were afterwards held in the school-house of dis- 
 trict No. 2 (the Whitney district). Here they continued to worship until

^66 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 HOUNSFIKLD. 
 
 H 
 
 OUNSFIELD was formed from Watertown, February 17, 1806. It 
 embraces No. i, or " Hesiod," of the " Eleven Towns," and was 
 _ named in honor of Ezra Hounsfield, who, with Peter Kemble, 
 purchased the south part of the town (15,913 acres) from the pro- 
 prietors, March 10, 180 1. It is situated on Black River Bay, on the west 
 border of the county, has an area of 27,790! acres, and is bounded on the 
 north by Black River and the bay of that name, which separate it from 
 Brownville, east by Watertown, south by Henderson and Adams, and west by 
 Henderson Bay and Black River Bay. Galloe, Little Galloe, Stony, and Calf 
 islands, which lie in Lake Ontario, also belong to the town of Hounsfield. 
 The surface of the town is somewhat diversified, though in the main it is 
 level, and the soil is a clayey and sandy loam. Through nearly the center 
 of the town flows Mill Creek, which rises in the town of Watertown and dis- 
 charges into Black River Bay. A branch of this stream from the north rises 
 in a long strip of low land, originally a swamp, filled with tamarack, black 
 ash, cedar, and elm, and other varieties of timber peculiar to such a locality. 
 Much of this land has been reclaimed and cleared, and the stream, during 
 the summer, becomes nearly dry. 
 
 The waters of Black River Bay were early regarded as an eligible place for 
 a commercial point, and in a work published in Paris in 1801 * the following 
 description of it is given under the name Niahmire : — 
 
 " ' At the bottom of this gulf Black Eiver empties, forming a harbor sheltered from the 
 wind and surges of the lake, which, during the prevalence of the southwest winds, roll lilie 
 those of the ocean. The land on the right or south of this bay is extremely fertile, and is a 
 grove more fresh than can elsewhere be seen. That on the left, i. e., the country that extends 
 to the north of the Bay of Niahoure, as far as the St. Lawrence, and east to the Oswegatohie, 
 is not less fertile, and the colonists begin to vie in settling it.' " f 
 
 Much discussion has obtained regarding the location of La Famine, or 
 Hungry Bay, ^nd the question of its exact location has never been definitely 
 settled to the satisfaction of all. On Charles C. Brodhead's map of Macomb's 
 Purchase, made about i79t, and published in Documentary History of New 
 York, vol. III., the name of Hungry Bay is given to the waters comprised 
 within Six Town Point, in the town of Henderson, and Point Peninsula, in 
 I>yme. Guy Johnson's map of the country of the Six Nations, including 
 part of the adjacent colonies, made in 177 1, and published in Doc.

 History of New York, vol. IV., gave the name "Niourne Bay" to the 
 above waters, and located " Famine Bay '' near the mouth of 
 Sandy Creek, in the present town of Ellisburgh. Famine Bay probably 
 received its name from the want of provisions and sickness which decimated 
 De la Barre's expedition in the latter part of August, 1684. The commissary 
 of that expedition, De Meneles, in a letter to the minister {Farts Doc, II.), 
 says that the camp at La Famine was made " in places never inhabited, entirely 
 surrounded by swamps.'' Ellisburgh is the only town in this county, having 
 a lake shore, which can furnish extensive marshes. Such marshes exist at 
 the mouth of Big Sandy Creek. 
 
 This town is a part of the original Boylston Tract, and in common with 
 10 other towns in Jefferson and Lewis counties, comprising an area of nearly 
 300,000 acres, became the property of Nicholas Low, William Henderson, 
 Richard Harrison, and Josiah Ogden Hoffman, on July 15, 1795. These 
 •eleven towns form what has since been known as the Black River Tract. On 
 the division of this tract Hounsfield fell to the share of Hoffman and Har- 
 rison, who, on July 13, 1797, conveyed to Champion and Storrs 11,134!^ 
 acres in the northern part of this town, with the town of Champion (25,708 
 acres), for $58,333.33. "On the 14th of November, 1798, Champion and 
 Storrs sold a portion of the above to Loomis and Tillinghast, receiving two 
 notes of $6,000 each, which, with a mortgage upon the premises, not being 
 paid, the tract was sold by a decree of chancery, at the Tontine Coffee House 
 in New York, June 20, 1801, and bid off by Augustus Sacket, of that city, 
 who received a conveyance from Champion and the assignees of Loomis and 
 Tillinghast. While the sale was pending Mr. Sacket, having heard of the 
 location, and inclining to engage in its purchase, made a journey in 1801 to 
 the place, and was so struck with the great natural advantages for a port 
 which the place presented that he hastened back, and having secured the 
 purchase returned with a fe.v men to commence improvements. In the 
 ■second and third years he erected an ample and convenient dwelling, and the 
 little colony received the accessions of mechanics and others." * 
 
 At the first town meeting convened at the house of Ambrose Pease, and 
 from thence adjourned to the house of Joseph Landon, March 4, 1806, Au- 
 gustus Sacket was chosen supervisor ; William Waring, clerk ; Amasa Fox, 
 WilUam Baker, Samuel Bates, Jr., T heron Hinman, assessors; Ambrose 
 Pease, Robert Robbins, commissioners of highways ; Jotham Wilder, John 
 Patrick, overseers of the poor ; Jeremiah Goodrich, collector ; J. Goodrich, 
 William Galloway, and John Root, constables. At the same meeting it was 
 "Besolved, That the inhabitants of this town, who shall hunt any wolf or panther in this 
 town (though he should kill such wolf or panther in any other town), shall be entitled to $10 
 hounty." 
 
 The meeting also appointed Theron Hinman, Augustus Sacket, and Am- 
 asa Fox " delegates to a general meeting of the county to nominate a suita-

 ble candidate for the legislature, at their own expense.'' This first town 
 meeting was warned by Amasa Fox, Esq. At subsequent early meetings the 
 usual rewards for the killing of ferocious beasts, and fines for the neglect to 
 mow down or destroy Canada thistles before they went to seed, were voted; 
 the fines thus obtained to be given to the inhabitant of the town who would 
 discover the most practical method of destroying said thistles. 
 
 From Spafford's Gazetteer of 1813 we quote : — 
 " We were unable to determine the number of mills, etc., that were in town about 1810-11. 
 Saokets Harbor was a port of entry and delivery; had a collector of revenues and a post- 
 office; and contained about 40 families." 
 
 The same author in 1824 says of Hounsfield in 1820 : — 
 
 " The taxable property was .$230,348. There were 5,813 acres of improved land, 2,158 cat- 
 tle, 383 horses, 3,235 sheep; 10,472 yards of cloth were made that year in families. The town 
 contained one grist-mill, six saw-mills, two falling-mills, three carding machines, one distillei y, ■ 
 and four asheriea. The school districts were nine in number, where 547 children received ed- 
 ucation ; the schools were in session eight months in the year. 
 
 " Sackets Harbor had become a prominent village, and contained two churches, three 
 school-houses, one. printing otSce, 10 stores, and several mechanic shops. For the times the 
 commerce of the place was quite extensive. There were 10 schooners owned there, engaged in 
 the lake trade, aggregating about 700 tons tonnage. There were also two steamboats on 
 the lake, which made regular stops here. There was at that time laid up at the port of Sackets 
 Harbor a frigate of 68 guns, three ships of 28 guns each, four brigs, and a number of gun- 
 boats. The village then contained 2, 020 inhabitants, including about 600 United States troops 
 stationed at Madison Barracks." 
 
 In i88o Hounsfield had a population of 2,770. The town is located in 
 the first school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 17 school dis- 
 tricts, in which 14 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. There were 
 667 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance during the 
 year was 65,316. The total value of school buildings and sites was $12,105, 
 while the assessed valuation of all the districts was $1,101,059. The whole 
 amount raised for school purposes was $4,753.40, $2,279.15 of which was 
 received by local tax. S. Whitford Maxson was school commissioner. 
 
 Sackets Harbor (post village) was incorporated April 15, 18 14. It is a port 
 of entry and a military post situated on Black River Bay, and is the terminus 
 of the Watertown branch of the U.'and B. R. division of the R.,W. & O. Rail- 
 road, Ti miles from Watertown, 193 from Albany, and 335 from New York. 
 It has telegraph, telephone, and express offices, a daily stage to Sraithville, 
 four churches (Presbyterian, Methodist Espiscopal, Protestant Episcopal, 
 and French Roman Catholic), two hotels, a foundry and machine shop, saw 
 and planing-mill, grist-mill, two general stores, four groceries, one hardware 
 store, two drug stores, a merchant tailor, and about 1,200 inhabitants. The 
 postoffice at Sackets Harbor was established just previous to the War of 
 1 8x2, and Ambrose Pease was appointed first postmaster. 
 
 East Hounsfield (p. o.) is a small hamlet in the eastern part of the town, 
 near the Watertown fine. It contains a church (Christian), cheese factory, 
 ■school-house, and a small number of dwellings. 
 
TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 469 
 
 The villages of Brownville and Dexter, on Black River, lie partly in 
 Hounsfield. In addition to these there are the hamlets of Stowell's Cor- 
 ners, Field's Settlement, Camp's Mills, Jewettsville, and Robbins 
 Settlement, which are simply clusters of dwellings around localities where 
 «arly settlements in the town were made. 
 
 The McKee foundry, at Sackets Harbor, was built in 1840 by McKee & 
 Hammond, and first engaged in the manufacture of stoves and mowing ma- 
 chines. It is a stone building and cost $1,000, about its present value. The 
 present proprietors are McKee ^S^: Son, who manufacture machinery for ves- 
 sels and do a general repairing business. 
 
 Bacon's cheese factory at East Hounsfield, on road 33, was built by Cas- 
 per L. Bacon, the present proprietor, in 1885, and cost about $4,000. It 
 manufactures about 82,000 pounds of cheese per year. 
 
 The Empire flouring-mills, located in the northeast part of the town, were 
 
 built by Munson in 1850. The mills are run by water-power, and 
 
 have the capacity for grinding 75 barrels of flour per day. 
 
 E. Drake's grist-mill, located in the northern part of the town, near the 
 village of Dexter, was built by Henry Payne in 1867. The machinery is pro- 
 pelled by water-power, and the mill at present is run by William H. Youngs. 
 
 Hoover's saw and planing-mill, located in the northern part of the town, 
 near Dexter village, was built in 1880 by George Hoover. It is run by water- 
 power, is fitted with circular saws, and cuts annually about 300,000 feet of 
 lumber. 
 
 EARLY SETTLERS, ETC. 
 
 The first settlement in the town of Hounsfield was commenced in 1800, by 
 Amasa Fox, who located on great lot 36, in the northern part of the town, 
 near the cemetery, on road 18. His name appears frequently on the town 
 lecords, and it was he who gave notice fur the first town meeting, held in 
 1806. The settlement of the territory progressed rapidly, and in 1802 a 
 traveler reported 30 families living .in township No. i. Five brothers, Solo- 
 mon, Robert, Asher, Austin, and Joshua Robbins, from Berkshire County, 
 Mass., located in the southwestern part of the town previous to the War of 
 1812, in the neighborhood since known as the Robbins Settlement. They 
 were the first settlers in that locality, and made the first improvements. In 
 the eastern part of the town, near the Watertown line, at what is known as 
 Field's Settlement, located several of the sons of Elijah Field, who came with 
 ■their father from Woodstock, Vt., in 1805 or '06. Mr. Field had no less than 
 nine sons, most of whom were of mature age, and located in Hounsfield, 
 while the father's location was in Watertown. Following the Fields in this 
 locality came Palmer Westcott, who became an extensive manufacturer of 
 •potash. 
 
 In March, 1808, Ebenezer Allen, ifrom Windsor, Vt.^came with his family, 
 •consisting of his wife and 10 children, and located on great lot 38, where he

 made a clearing and erected a log house. The eldest of his children was- 
 20 years and the youngest 1 1 months of age. During a service of five years- 
 in the Revolutionary army Mr. Allen attained the rank of major, which title 
 clung to him through life. His son Leonard served in the War of 181 2 and 
 participated in the battle of Sackets Harbor. In 1815 Ira Ingleheart, a 
 native of Canada, who had served in the American army during the War of 
 181 2, removed from Watertown and located in Hounsfield, in school district 
 No. 6. His son, C. W. Ingleheart, for some time an influential resident of 
 Sackets Harbor village, came with him. In the neighborhood of Stowell's 
 Corners settlements were made quite early. Previous to 1807 Nathan Baker 
 located near the south line of the town. 
 
 Stephen Blanchard, from Vermont, located at East Hounsfield about the 
 beginning of the War of 1812. He kept an hotel there, and the place 
 acquired the name of Blanchard's Corners. A postoffice was established' 
 there in 1850, with Nelson Jones as postmaster. 
 
 Augustus Sacket began the first settlement at Sackets Harbor village. He 
 built a saw-mill, wherein was sawed the lumber used in the construction of 
 the first permanent house and other buildings put up at that time. The saw- 
 mill was on Mill Creek, where were also erected a grist-mill by Samuel Luff, 
 the first one in the neighborhood, and a cotton factory by Solon Stone. In 
 1804 came Mr. Elisha Camp, a brother-in-law of Mr. Sacket, who settled at 
 the village, and was appointed resident agent, under whom the estate was 
 sold, the last of the business being closed up about 1848 or '49. 
 
 " In 1805 several English families settled at Sackets Harbor, among whotiv 
 were Samuel Luff and sons Edward, Samuel, Jr., Joseph, and Jesse, David 
 Merritt, William Ashby, John Root, Henry Metcalf, and George Slowman. 
 Besides these John and William Evans, Squire Reed, Amasa Hollibut, 
 Charles Barrie [or Berry], Uriah Roulison [or Rowlson], Azariah P. Sher- 
 win, and others. Dr. William Baker settled in 1803, and was the first physi- 
 cian in the town. Ambrose Pease and Stephen Simmons were early inn- 
 keepers, and Loren Buss and Hezekiah Doolittle, merchants." * 
 
 William Rowlson was the first white male child born in the town of Houns- 
 field. His birth occurred at Sackets Harbor, September i8, 1804, and he 
 still survives (1889). His father, Rial Rowlson, was one of the first settlers 
 at the village, having located there about 1802, from Connecticut. Squire 
 Reed, a native of Rhode Island, also came from Connecticut to this county 
 in 1802, first locating in the town of Adams, whence he removed to Sackets 
 Harbor in 1806 or '07, and became prominently identified with the affairs of 
 that village. He served in the Revolutionary war. After the breaking out 
 of the War of 181 2 he removed to Brown ville, where he died. His son 
 Daniel, who came to this county with his father, was a captain on the lakes 
 for many years. Daniel De Wolf was a blacksmith in the navy yard at

 Sackets Harbor from 1812 to 1815, in the employ of the government. After 
 the war he moved away, but returned with his family in 1822 and located 
 permanently. The first school in the town was opened in Sackets Harbor 
 in 1807 or 1 808, by a man named Mitchell. Outside the village the first 
 school was opened in the " Muskalonge " neighborhood, in 1808, by Amasa 
 Fox. The next year a frame school-house was built there. No school-house 
 was built at Sackets Harbor until after the War of 1812-15, when a one- 
 story frame building was erected on the site of the present union school 
 building. About i8i6alog school-house was built at Blanchard's Corners 
 (now East Hounsfield), which gave place to a frame house which was burned. 
 A stone house was next erected, which was finally torn down and a frame 
 building erected instead. 
 
 The first hotel at Sackets Harbor, a small story and a half frame building, 
 located on Main street, was built by Ambrose Pease before 1805, and was 
 conducted by him until the beginning of the War of 1812, when it was pur- 
 chased by a Mr. Kelsey, who came here from Cape "Vincent. The building 
 was afterwards burned. In 1806 a Mr. Lanning commenced the erection of 
 an hotel on the site of the present Eveleigh House, which became the prop- 
 erty of Stephen Simmons before it was completed. Mr. Simmons finished it 
 and conducted the hotel a number of years. Ambrose Dodge built the 
 Eveleigh House in 1843-44, and it was opened by him in 1844. Judge 
 Elijah Field built the Earl House in 1817, and it was opened by him in 
 December of that year. It has been remodelled, and greatly enlarged and 
 improved to accommodate an increasing patronage. The present proprietor 
 is Richard M. Earl. 
 
 A stone hotel, which is still standing, although not used for the purpose 
 for which it was built, was commenced by Frederick White in 181 7, and 
 opened by him the following year, with the name of "Union Hotel." The 
 Masonic fraternity occupied a room on the top floor, and subsequently 
 removed to the floor below. It has been said that Morgan, who pubhshed 
 an expos6 of Masonry, was brought to this lodge room very soon after his 
 mysterious disappearance. Mr. White, the first proprietor of the hotel, was 
 a man of dissolute habits, and dissipated his large fortune of $150,000, finally 
 dying a pauper. He was at one time president of the Jefferson County Bank, 
 when that institution was located in Adams. 
 
 In March, 1817, George Camp established a printing ofiice at the village, 
 and became "proprietor, publislier, and editor" of the Sackets Harbor 
 Gazette. A copy of the Gazette of October 8, 1818, contains an editorial 
 which fails to substantiate the report so often heard that, although liquor was 
 freely used, drunkenness was unknown among the pioneers 50 or 75 years 
 ago. We are sure no such condition of affairs as is described in the following 
 extract from this editorial would be allowed to exist in Sackets Harbor at the 
 present time: — 
 
472 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 *' The intemperate use of ardent and intoxicating liqnors is the crying sin of these times. 
 Nor is our own neighborhood free from this foul offense — ' It smells to heaven.' — Every night 
 Biay be seen more than one miBwable wretch reeling from the grog-shops (if not so beastly 
 <irunk as to be incapable of motion), and carrying to his broken-hearted wife and famishing 
 children, not bread, nor meat, but II TIM ! And in this execrable way, week after week, he 
 squanders the little that he earns, while his perishing, starving family are supported by the 
 charity of his neighbors. Their clamors for bread he silences with rum, and the obvious 
 effects of this conduct in the parent on the children is, that they are drunkards from the 
 cradle." 
 
 The following description of the above mentioned copy of the Gazette, 
 printed in the Watertown Daily Times, July 6, 1888, contains so much of 
 historic value, and illustrates so well the commercial importance of Sackets 
 Harbor at that time, that we give it space here : — 
 
 "It is a four-page sheet about half the size of the Times, • printed and published ' by 
 ■George Camp, (father of T. H. Camp, Esq. , of this city, and Col. W. B. Camp, of Sackets Har- 
 bor,) at 82 per year in advance to mail subscribers, and $2 to village subscribers payable halt 
 yearly in advance. The first page contains miscellany and advertisements. The second page 
 has editorial and advertisements. The third page has also editorial and advertisements. 
 The fourth page has a report of the first fair of the Jefferson County Agricultural Society at 
 Watertown, and advertisements. Among the advertisements, which are interesting reminis- 
 cences in themselves, is that of the ' steamboat Ontario,^ which made weekly trips between 
 Ogdensburg and Niagara, leaving the first named place every Saturday at 9 A. M., Sackets 
 Harbor on Sunday at 3 p. si., Hanford's Landing (Genesee River) on Monday at 3 p. M., and 
 ' arriving at Niagara with all possible expediency.' Returning, the Ontario left Lewiston at i 
 p. M. on Tuesday, Hanford's Landing at i p. 11. on Wednesday, Sackets Harbor at 4 p. m. on 
 Thursday, and 'arrive at Ogdensburg the next day.' The rate of passage was $5 'from port 
 to port.' For the convenience of people at Oswego, Sodus, and Pultneyville ' the fast saihng 
 schooner Kingston Paclcet is provided as a tender to the steamboat, and after touching at those 
 places' will make connection at Genesee Elver on JMonday and Sackets Harbor on Thursday. 
 
 " The ' Marine List ' shows there were many other steam and sail crafts plying at that time. 
 On October 1 the arrivals were the steamboats Ontario from Ogdensburg, Sophia from Kings- 
 ton, packet Swatlow from Henderson, brig Maggie Graham from Oswego, and schooner Lizzie 
 from Cape Vincent; on the 2d, paoketboat .7anefrom Oswego, steamboat jSo^?iia from Kings- 
 ton, schooner Sea Foamitnvci Koohester, and steamboat Maria from Ogdensburg; on the 3d 
 schooner Bamhler from Kingston, packet Alvira from Port Hope, and brig Seneca from Buf- 
 falo; on the 4th, schooner Genesee Packet from Ogdensburg, schooner packet Swallow, brig 
 T. Sogers from Charlotte; on the Bth, steamboat Sophia from Kingston, and the sloop George 
 N. from Belleville, Ont.; on the 6th, steamboat Ontario from Niagara, schooner Loren P. 
 from Chicago, brig Rochester from Port Colbourne, yacht /Da from Ogdensburg, andschoouer 
 t7o/in PoioeZi from Wilwaukee. The departures were: On October 1st, schooner iJambtej- for 
 Kingston, schooners Sachem, Lady Washington, and Farmer's Paughter for Niagara, and 
 schooner Triumph for Boston; on the 2d, the Ontario for Oswego, Genesee, and Niagara, 
 schooner Templeton for Milwaukee, and brig B. Williams for Ogdensburg; on the 3d, packet 
 Sieallow, sloops Arcadia and Ontario for Niagara, and brig Susie for Eochester; on the 4th 
 steamboat Sophia for Kingston, schooner Genesee Packet for Sodus and Niagara, brig George 
 Vane for Detroit, and sloop Alary B. for Ogdensburg; on the 5th, the Ontario for Ogdens-

 Oswego, and schooner Olcott for Detroit; on the 6th, steamboat Sophia for Kingston, brig T. 
 Sogers for Charlotte, schooner Sea Foam for Eochester, and schooner Appelona for Cape 
 Vincent. The steamboat Sophia, it appears, made semi-weekly trips between Sackets and 
 Kingston. The schooner Woolsey made regular trips for the season between Sackets and 
 Niagara. 
 
 " The editorials are on the subject of the 'Wliite Man's Government,' ' Military ' (giving an 
 account of the annual public parade of the Sackets Harbor Light Infantry company) and 
 ■ The Newspaper.' Among the local items is a ' report that in the vicinity of Ellisburg on the

 •"30th ult. was seen by a gentleman of unquestionable veracity, an animal resembling " Ya-ho, 
 
 or Wild Man of the Woods." Hundreds of men were in pursuit for several days, but nothing 
 further is heard or seen of him.' The conviction at the Circuit Court at Watertown, James 
 Hany, of manslaughter, for killing of Malachi P. Varian, soldier of Sackets Harbor, is noted. 
 The sentence was 10 years in state prison. Judge Piatt presided at the court. 
 
 "The advertisements are various. Among the principal ones are those of J. G. Parker, 
 
 ■who sold all kinds of spirits, rums, brandies, and whiskies, and all kinds of groceries; P. Clark, 
 
 ■who sold ' Jamaica spirits ' by the puncheon, Boston ' rum,' and brandies, gin, wines, groceries 
 
 .generally, dry goods, crockery, hardware, etc. One man advertises against trusting his wife. 
 
 ' The sheriif of Montgomery County offers a reward of $175 for the return of four prisoners who 
 ' broke goal.' ' A New Line of Stages ' from Utica to Sackets Harbor through Eome and Adams 
 is advertised. ' A reward of $30 and all reasonable charges will be paid for any deserter from 
 the U. S. army ' is the burden of an advertisement dated ' Madison Barracks.' The LowviUe 
 
 -Academy has a conspicuous advertisement. Among other things it says that board, including 
 lodging and washing, is afforded to students at !|2 per week. ' Six Cents Keward ' is offered 
 
 .for the return of a runaway indented apprentice boy, by a Rodman man. The ' Jefferson 
 County Bank,' then located at Adams, through James Wood, its cashier, aunounoes a dividend 
 
 -of 33^ per cent, payable to its stockholders.' The loathsome disease of ' itch ' must have been 
 more or less prevalent then generally, for there are two conspicuous advertisements of 'oint- 
 ment' therefor. 
 
 "Perhaps the most interesting feature of the paper is the full report of the first fair of the 
 
 -County Agricultural Society, which was held at Watertown on the 28th and 29th days of Sep- 
 tember. The first day was devoted to the exhibition of stock and domestic manufactures, 
 award of premiums, and in discussions. There were present as guests Gov. De Witt Clinton, 
 General Stephen Van Kensselaer, Colonel Jenkins, Mr. Parish, and other distinguished 
 strangers from different parts of the country. The exhibition of stock was large and fine, and 
 EosweU Woodruff exhibited 17 yoke of oxen and steers drawing a cart. They were of his own 
 raising. Judge Noadiah Hubbard and Colonel Harris, of Champion, also exhibited a cart 
 drawn by 15 pair of working oxen, very large and fine. The next day began with a plowing 
 match. After that was finished a procession, the largest which was ever seen in the county 
 up to that time, marched to the court-house, where, after a prayer, addresses were made by 
 the president of the society and Governor Clinton. The procession then re-formed and 
 marched to the house of Mr. Isaac Lee and partook of a sumptuous dinner, and then succeeded 
 
 -a list of 19 toasts, including several appropriate to the agricultural and manufacturing inter- 
 ests, and complimentary notice of Washington, President Madison, farmers' wives and 
 daughters. Governor Clinton, and others. Doubriess the entertainments during these two 
 ■days were among the most edifying and delightful that have ever been given at the annual 
 fair." 
 
 The first regular physician in Sackets Harbor was Dr. William Baker, who 
 located here in 1803. Other early physicians were Dr. Benjamin Farley, 
 who came in before, and Dr. James Starkweather, who came soon after, the 
 War of 1812. The first number of the Sackets Harbor Gazette (1817) con- 
 tained the advertisement of Dr. R. B. Hayes, who avowed the intention of 
 making " medicine and surgery his only pursuit." Dr. Samuel Guthrie, sub- 
 -sequently world-renowned, located in Sackets Harbor, on Mill Creek, soon 
 after the War of 1812, and here prosecuted his scientific investigations which 
 resulted in the discovery of chloroform (at about the same time with Sou- 
 beiran, in France, and Liebig, in Germany), and of the percussion compound 
 for firearms, which superseded the old flint locks. Dr. Guthrie died in this 
 Tillage October 19, 1848. A more extensive account of his discoveries, etc., 
 has been printed in this work in the medical chapter, by Dr. Crawe. 
 
 In 1806 Charles Barrie (or Berry), a Scotchman, opened a small store on 
 the lot adjoining the one now occupied by the Eveleigh House, and he was 
 
474 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 the first merchant in the village. Barrie sold out to Loren Buss, who con- 
 tinued the business. 
 
 " The first mercantile operation at Sackets Harbor on an extensive scale was by Samuel F.. 
 Hooker, who, in 1808, commenced with a stock of $20,000 worth of goods, and in 50 days had 
 Bold 1117,500 worth. The business that then opened with the brightest prospects was the trade 
 of potash to Montreal, where Aator and other heavy capitalists had placed money in the hands 
 of agents for its purchase. The embargo of 1808, by withholding those along our frontier 
 from a career In which they were highly prosperous, naturally led to a spirit of evasion of the 
 laws, and the difficulty of exporting this great staple of commerce directly from the Atlantic- 
 ports to Europe led to extensive and systematic measures for forwarding to the lake and river, 
 from the interior and southern counties of the state, and even from New York, large quan- 
 tities of potash. This sometimes vanished in the night, or was shipped with due formahty to 
 Ogdensburg, where it disappeared, and sometimes an open course of defiance of law wa8> 
 attempted. In whatever way it may have escaped it was sure of reappearing in Montreal, 
 where it commanded the enormous sum of $2U0 to $320 per ton, and from whence there was 
 no obstruction to its export to England." * 
 
 "Previous to the war a flourishing commerce had sprung up on Lake Ontario, and the fol- 
 lowing vessels were engaged m trade, all of them having more or less business at Sackets Har- 
 bor: Genesee Packet, Capt. Obed Mayo, of Ogdensburg: Diana, Capt. A. Montgomery; Fair 
 American, Capt. Augustus Ford; Collector, Capt. Samuel Dixon; ^a:j3eHmen<, Capt. C.Holmes;. 
 Charles and Ann, Capt. Pease; Dolphin, Capt. William Vaughan; and a few others whose 
 names were not obtained. The Fair American is said to have been the first vessel built under- 
 the present government on this lake. She was launched at Oswego for the North Western Pur 
 Company. Soon after the war the schooners Woolsey, Rambler, Farmer's Daughter, Tri- 
 umph, Commodore Perry, Dolphin, &c., were advertised as running on regular lines as packets 
 from this port.j" * * * 
 
 It is said the Ariadne, which sailed from Sackets Harbor with a cargo of 
 pork and flour, under Captain Pickering, was the first merchant vessel that ever 
 entered the river at Chicago. 
 
 "On the 2d of March, 1799, Congress first enacted a law applying to the collection of ' 
 duties on Lake Ontario, by establishing two districts, of which all east of Genesee Elver was 
 included in Oswego, and all west in Niagara District. * * * in pursuance of the act of 
 March 3, 1803, SacA-ets Harbor District was soon after established, and has been since main- 
 tained, having been reduced in extent by the formation of Oswegatohie District, including St, 
 Lawrence County, March 2, 1811, and Gape Vincent District, April 18, 1818, comprising all 
 below Point Peninsula, inclusive." J 
 
 March 3, 1863, Sackets Harbor was consolidated with the Cape Vincent 
 district, and since that time it has been only a port of entry in charge of a 
 deputy. Cape Vincent district comprises the entire coast of Jefferson 
 County. 
 
 Previous to the completion of the railroad to Watertown, in 1851, Sackets 
 Harbor was a place of considerable commercial importance. The greater 
 portion of the freight for Watertown and the surrounding towns, and for 
 adjoining counties, came by boat to Sackets Harbor, whence it was carted to 
 its destination, and in return the products of this rich territory found way to 
 the markets through the same channels. Although enterprising citizens of 
 the village put forth every effort to maintain its commercial relations, its com-

 merce has been mostly diverted to other channels. In 1846 the declared 
 value of exports and imports was $2,735,091; as early as 1859 it had fallen 
 to the comparatively insignificant sura of $13,016. The enrolled and licensed 
 tonnage of the district in 1852 was 7,083 tons, and' in 1859 it had been re- 
 duced to 1,3 75 tonp^ j^. 
 
 About tS»5-«- measure was proposed to supply a water-power to Sackets 
 Harbor by diverting the surplus waters of Black River from the lower pond 
 in Watertown through Pleasant and Mill creeks. Through the opposition of 
 influential persons, through whose lands the water would pass, the project 
 failed. In 1825 the effort was renewed, and an act was passed by the legis- 
 lature authorizing Joseph Kimball, Amos Catlin, and Daniel Hall, Jr., to divert 
 the surplus waters of the river into Pleasant and Stony creeks, for hydraulic 
 purposes. The act provided that waters should not be taken from any dam 
 then existing without the written consent of the owners, virtually defeating the 
 project, for this was next to impossible. In 1826 the act was amended 
 by removing the obnoxious restriction, but still the plan was not considered 
 feasible. It was next proposed to make the canal navigable from Carthage 
 to Sackets Harbor, and an act was accordingly passed in April, 1828, incor- 
 porating the Jefferson County Canal Co., with a capital of $300,000, but 
 nothing was done under this act. In 1830 a canal 20 feet wide at the top and 
 12 feet wide at the bottom, four feet deep, was made from Huntington's 
 Mills, two miles above the village of Watertown, to the " Big Swamp," 
 and in 1832 it was finished, supplying to the village of Sackets Harbor a 
 valuable water-power, upon which were erected a grist-mill, two saw-mills, a 
 plaster-mill, a paper-mill, and a furnace, principally the property of Elisha 
 Camp, to which person is due, more perhaps than to any other man, the credit 
 of making the village a place of consequence. Great difficulty was en- 
 countered in maintaining the first half-mile of the ditch, which was con-, 
 structed along Black River, where it was liable to be washed away on one 
 side and filled by slides of sand and clay on the other. These difficulties 
 finally led the work to be abandoned, after having been in use lo years, to the 
 pecuniary loss of all. 
 
 FIRES IN SACKETS HARBOR. 
 
 Soon after the War of 1812 a small fire company, a " bucket brigade," was 
 organized at the village, and unsuccessful efforts were made to procure an 
 engine. The fire wardens of the village passed an ordinance requiring owners of 
 buildings to provide a certain number of buckets to be placed conveniently 
 about their buildings for the use of the brigade. Hough's History contains 
 the following account of early fires : — 
 
 " On May 23, 1838, a paper-mill of Col. Camp, at the Harbor, was burned, witli a loss of 
 from $7,000 to $10,000. It had been in operation about a year. 
 
 "A destructive fire occurred at Sackets Harbor on the morning of August 21, 1843, origi- 
 nating in a warehouse on the wharf, as was supposed from the cinders of the steamer St. 
 
.476 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 Lawrence, and spreading rapidly, conauraed nine buildings on the north side of Main street, 
 and eight upon the south side. Passing up Bayard street, it consumed several barns and 
 dwellings, and from the violence of the wind the flakes of burning materials were wafted to 
 the cupola of the Presbyterian Church, which was burned. Upon the ally or street in the 
 rear of Main street a number of buildings and much property was burned. The whole num- 
 ber of buildings consumed was about forty; the loss over $35,000. Had this fire occurred in 
 the night time, from its rapidity and violence, a loss of life could have scarcely been avoided. 
 An ineffectual suit was instituted against the steamboat company. On several other occasions 
 the village has suffered severely by fires." 
 
 Col. Walter B. Camp has kindly furnished the following regarding the fires 
 of more-recent occurrence. 
 
 Sackets Harbor has been singularly unfortunate with its fires, commenc- 
 ing in particular with that of August 21, 1843, to which reference has been 
 made— many of them so serious and unaccountable in their origin as to 
 bring at last a degree of discouragement to its inhabitants, who question how 
 far they can be justified in restoring the present burnt district. After that 
 destructive one of 1843 better and more modern buildings rapidly took the 
 place of those destroyed. The same conditions do not now exist. Then an 
 extensive commerce was carried on, being a port of export and import for 
 several counties, and from which sailed a fine fleet of vessels, owned by en- 
 terprising merchants. This source of accumulative wealth has disappeared 
 from the lakes. 
 
 In the fall of 1851 the Ontario House barns, on Broad street, took fire from 
 some unknown cause. The fire extended to Main street, and five stores and 
 dwelling houses were soon in flames. Before the sixth was reached a very 
 heavy-timbered two-story building (and one in which printing presses of va- 
 ried newspapers had been established for years) was torn down by the heroic 
 €ff"orts of the foresighted and resolute inhabitants. Hook and axes de- 
 molished it in a few minutes. The feat was heralded as something almost 
 incredible. 
 
 Six weeks afterwards Buck & Burt's dry goods and hardware estabhsh- 
 ment, on Main street, took fire in like manner, and was consumed with nearly 
 half the square. Each one of these conflagrations brought clouds filled with 
 snow, by the vacuum produced, from distant hills that held the currents run- 
 ning eastward from the lakes. About 1854 a dwelling house of Captain 
 Tuttle. on Main street, nearly opposite the navy yard, burned down ; the 
 only point of interest remembered is, that buildings each side, one only four 
 or five feet away, had ice formed upon the exposed sides from the intense 
 cold prevailing. 
 
 Lane's dry goods stock was badly damaged by some cause unknown — 
 supposed by the bursting of a lamp. Being in a block, and adjoining Eve- 
 leigh's Hotel, much solicitude was felt for the result. 
 
 " Gladwin's brick " a little later was occupied by some Hebrew clothing 
 merchants. They were compelled to escape from their sleeping quarters 
 from the heat among their goods. A gallant fight with this no doubt in- 
 cendiary fire confined it to the store apartment. 
 
TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 477 
 
 June II, 1883, Clark & Robbins's grain warehouse, filled with grain, was 
 discovered on fire at 3 o'clock a. ro. This valuable and useful storehouse 
 was fired by the fiend, no doubt, who delights in flames and destruction. Can 
 it be that in quiet villages that a nihilistic spirit has found growth with mal- 
 ice and hatred toward enterprising neighbors, such as is exhibited in popu- 
 lous cities ? 
 
 January 3, 1886, a disastrous fire was well under way in the unoccupied 
 annex to Gladwin's brick building, on Main street, when discovered. For- 
 merly it faced on Main street, and here Mr. George Camp started the Sach- 
 ets Harbor Gazette, in March, 1817. Stokes's hardware store and dweUing 
 and Robbins's block, corner of Ogden and Main streets, with Lane's dry 
 goods below, offices and Ontario Hall above were burned, with Gladwin's, 
 northerly, Dennison's malt-house, and McEvoy's grocery and provision store. 
 With the aid of the 12th Regiment command at Madison Barracks working 
 the brake engine a wood two-stoi^ building was saved intact, though only 
 18 inches from the malt-housej and exposed to six window openings in its 
 walls, from which came an intense heat. 
 
 May 29, 1886, the historic warehouse built by the United States navy dur- 
 ing the War of 1812, as a storehouse for its fleet, was burned. It had served 
 many purposes in civil life — -a bethel house for seamen, 1828; " Knicker- 
 bocker bowling alley'' and sail loft; Hooker & Hopkins, forwarding mer- 
 chants ; steam flouring-mill ; again, warehouse and sail loft, which last was 
 converted into a skating rink. At the date mentioned Mr. Eveleigh per- 
 mitted an embryo band to practice in it evenings. During the night it 
 burned, no doubt by carelessness on the part of the band. In March, i888,_ 
 Mr. Horace Payne's store and fine dwelling house on Main street were de- 
 stroyed. Fire started in the store part, occupied by Mr. Jones, soon after 
 closing business at night. Here was another well contested battle with the 
 fiery element, this time aided by the i ith United States Infantry at the brakes. • 
 A two-story dwelling, only two feet away, was saved with no damage to it 
 whatever. 
 
 The last and most severe fire since 1843 occurred August 11, 1889, begin- 
 ning in the Boulton store adjoining the malt-house walls, where the fire of Jan- 
 uary, 1886, was stopped. The building was unoccupied, and its burning is 
 plainly considered by the inhabitants of incendiary origin. That and McEvoy's

 hall all were burned. Mr. Eveleigh had been in possession of the navy 
 
 warehouse, custom-house, and Hooker & Crane's building some years. They 
 faced the market and Town Hall square. About these historic buildings are 
 clustered associations that have found echo in many a wanderer from the 
 parent hearth. Scenes of civic and national character enacted about them 
 have stirred their manly hearts to deeds of devotion and love for country, in 
 whatever clime they have taken up their abode. 
 
 An incendiary effort was made to burn Mr. Eveleigh's hotel some years 
 since. Had it been accomplished the village would have been annihilated. 
 Fire was seen by the Masons, on leaving their lodge, breaking out from the 
 attic. By their activity in getting the hose into the building, and a stream 
 directly upon the fire, the calamity was averted. The wind was blowing a 
 gale in a direction to have soon made any efforts perfectly futile. Some one 
 had saturated the rafters with kerosene, leaving a partly-filled bottle unused, 
 which remained to "point a moral and adorn a tale." 
 
 The recent purchase of a steam engine may give a feeling of more security, 
 but the fiend who delights in flames and destruction can find opportunities 
 enough to gratify his hellish propensities. 
 
 MILITARY. 
 
 The first record we find of any " materials of war " being necessary at 
 Sackets Harbor was in 1808-09, when Capt. WiUiam P. Bennett, with a part 
 of a company of artillery, and Lieutenant Cross, with a few infantry, were 
 stationed here to enforce the embargo of 1808. On the ist of June, 1812, 
 President Madison sent a message to Congress on the subject of the aggres- 
 sions of Great Britain, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Re- 
 lations in the House of Representatives, who, on June 3, reported a mani- 
 festo as the basis of a declaration of war. The House adopted the measure 
 by a vote of 79 to 49, and the Senate by a vote of 19 to 13 ; and on June 18, 
 1812, the President signed the act declaring war. 
 
 At this time the United States possessed almost no means of defense on 
 the frontier. Sackets Harbor was the most important point on Lake Onta- 
 rio. It was the headquarters of the northern division of the American fleet, 
 and here were fitted out the expeditions against Toronto (then York), Fort 
 George, etc., and the unfortunate enterprise under General Wilkinson in the 
 fall of 181 3. It was twice attacked by the British, who were repulsed, the 
 last time (known to history as the battle of Sackets Harbor) with a loss of 
 150 men. The first attack on this village, which was also the first battle of 
 the war, was on a Sunday morning on the 19th of July, 1812. Captain Wool- 
 sey, who had command of the brig Oneida, -which was stationed heie, sighted 
 from his mast-head a British fleet of five vessels (carrying an aggregate of 80 
 guns) bearing towards the Harbor. Col. Christopher P. Bellinger was sta- 
 tioned here with a body of drafted three-months' militia to enforce the em-

 bargo. Captain Elisha Camp, the then principal personage here, foreseeing 
 the danger of invasion from the British in Canada, had formed an artillery 
 •company and offered their services to General Brown. A thirty-two-pounder 
 :gun, which had been intended for the armament of the Oneida, but which 
 proved too large for that vessel, and which had long been lying in the mud 
 near by and was named the Old Sow* had been placed in Fort Tompkins. 
 <juns of less degree, taken from the brig, were planted here and there, and 
 with the Oneida, stationed in the harbor with her broadside of nine guns to 
 the approaching fleet, constituted all the organized force in readiness for the 
 proper reception of the hostile Sunday morning callers. The British ex- 
 pected little or no resistance, and threatened to burn the town if a shot were 
 fired. The first shot from the thirty-two-pounder called forth shouts of 
 •derision from the British marines. William Vaughan worked the gun on this 
 occasion, and as the government failed to provide thirty-two-pound balls, he 
 paid his compliments with twenty-four-pound balls wrapped in strips of car- 
 pet torn from the floors of their homes by the patriotic women of the village- 
 Lossing's Empire State relates the following incident of this battle: — 
 "The flag-ship of the attacking squadron was the JRoyal George [26 guns, 260 men]. 
 "When the vessels were near enough for action, the battle was begun by a shot from the big 
 iron cannon on shore. It was harmless, and drew peals of laughter from the crew of the flag- 
 ship, followed by two shots. Firing was kept up for about two hours, the squadron standing 
 oif and on, out of range of the smaller guns. Most of the enemy's shot had fallen against the 
 rocks below the battery. At length a thirty-two-pound baU came over the bluff, struck the 
 •earth, and plowed a deep furrow. It was picked up by a sergeant, who ran with it to Captain 
 "Vaughan, who was in command of the Old Sow, exclaiming: 
 
 " ' I've been playing ball with the red-coats, and have caught them out. See if the British 
 can catch back again! ' 
 
 " The ball exactly fitted the old cannon, while those which had been sent did not. At 
 that moment the Moyal George was nearing to give a broadside, when the big gun sent back 
 the captive ball with such force and precision that it sti-uck the flag-ship's stern, raked her 
 completely, sent splinters high on her mizzen top-sail, killed fourteen men, and wounded 
 ■eighteen. 
 
 " The flag-ship had already received a shot that went through her side, and another 
 between wind and water. Two other vessels had been severely crippled, and a signal for re- 
 treat was speedily given. The squadron sailed out on the lake while the band on the shore 
 played ' Yankee Doodle' in the liveliest manner, and the soldiers and citizens cheered the 
 retreating enemy in their departure." 
 
 And thus ended the first regular battle of the War of 1812, in which, it has 
 been facetiously said, the British "broke nothing but the Sabbath." 
 
 [Note. — The commander of the defeated squadron was Sir James Lucas Yeo, who had the 
 reputation of boasting and promising more than he could perform ; and his actions on more 
 than one occasion tended to the belief that he was not as brave as he should have been. He 
 died in England in 1819.— Editok.] 
 
 * About 1851 the Old Sow was sold, with other government stores, to G. Lord, of 
 Watertown. Rosselle Bingham, of New Bremen, bought it of Mr. Lord to celebrate the 
 hreajtiug of ground for the Sackets Harbor and Saratoga Railroad. Afterwards Bingham 
 sold it to W. L. Babcock, of Lowville, and from that place it was taken to Turin, Lewis 
 County, where it is now used for Fourth of July celebrations and other holidays, also by the 
 different political parties to celebrate their victories.

 Soon after the successful descent upon York, described in the County^ 
 Chapter of this work, in which the commander of the expedition, General' 
 Pike, was killed by the explosion of a magazine, the enemy, knowing that 
 Sackets Harbor had been weakened by the withdrawal of a large portion of 
 Chauncey's squadron with the land troops to Niagara, resolved to attempt 
 the capture of the post. May 27, 1813, the commander of the British squad- 
 ron, Sir James Yeo, sailed from Kingston with six armed vessels and 40 
 batteaux, carrying more than a thousand land troops, the whole armament 
 under the command of Sir George Prevost, the governor-general. At this 
 time Fort Tompkins was manned by about 200 dismounted dragoons, under 
 Col. Backus, a detachment of 4o-or 50 artillerists, under Lieuf enant Ketchum, 
 and a few infantry invalids and recruits. Brigadier-General Brown, who was- 
 at his home in Brownville, had been ordered by General Dearborn to assume 
 command of the post, but out of consideration for Col. Backus he had not yet 
 done so. 
 
 On Friday, May 28, in the morning, the schooner Lady of the Lake, that 
 had been cruising in the vicinity, came in and reported that the enemy was 
 approaching with a formidable fleet. Col. Backus at once dispatched an 
 express to General Brown, who immediately repaired to the place and' 
 assumed command. Signal guns were fired and messengers sent in all direc- 
 tions to rally the neighboring militia, and especially to hasten the arrival of" 
 Col. Tuttle, who was advancing with several hundred regulars. The militia 
 on their arrival were sent to Horse Island, about a mile distant from the vil- 
 lage, where it was supposed the invaders would first attempt to land. No- 
 landing was attempted on the 28th, Sir George, who was a timid man, being, 
 alarmed by the appearance of a fleet of barges from Oswego, bearing part 
 of a regiment of infantry under Col. Aspinwall to reinforce the garrison at 
 the Harbor. Seven of these barges got safely into port, and 12 were 
 taken by the enemy after their crews had deserted them and fled to the 
 woods, arriving at their destination about nine o'clock that evening. 
 
 After Sir George had slept and infused courage from the capture of the- 
 barges, on the morning of the 29th he landed a considerable force, with 
 artillery, upon Horse Island. During the night about 40 Indians, under 
 Lieut. Anderson, had landed on the main land in Henderson Bay, with a 
 view of attacking the rear of the militia. The American militia were called' 
 from the island and placed behind a gravel-ridge on the main land. They 
 were " about 600 in number, fresh from their homes, and without discipline, 
 experience, or organization, and although not wanting in courage or patriot- 
 ism, yet lacked that assurance which an acquaintance with military affairs- 
 alone can confer. These, with about 300 regulars and 100 of Aspin wall's 
 party, comprised the force by which the enemy were to be opposed." *

 attack. Colonel Mills, with about 400 militia, was stationed with a six- 
 pounder near the shore opposite the island, with orders to reserve their fire 
 until the enemy should approach within pistol shot. Colonel Greshom Tut- 
 tle, with the remainder of the militia, was posted in the edge of the woods 
 back of the clearing, and Colonel Backus, with his dismounted dragoons, was 
 stationed in the skirt of the woods near the village, with orders to advance 
 through the woods to Horse Island the moment it was known that the enemy 
 had landed. Colonel Aspinwall, with his men, was posted to the left of 
 Backus ; and the artillerists, under Lieutenant Ketchum, were stationed in Fort 
 Tompkins with no other armament than a thirty-two-pounder mounted on a 
 pivot. The militia on the shore were directed that, m case of being driven from 
 their position, they should fall back into the woods and annoy the right flank 
 of the enemy as he advanced towards the village. Col. Tuttle was directed, 
 in the same event, to attack their rear and destroy their boats. 
 
 " The morning of the 29th dawned beautifully clear and calm. Not a 
 breath of air ruffled the placid surface of the lake. * * * -phe calm pre- 
 vented the enemy from bringing their vessels to cooperate in the attack, and 
 was one of the causes that influenced their subsequent retreat. As soon as 
 it was light the enemy were seen approaching in 33 large boats, under cover 
 of gun-boats, directing their course to the outside of the island, where they 
 landed and formed without opposition ; but in crossing the bar that connected 
 it with the main land they encountered a galling fire, and lost several in killed 
 and wounded, which they subsequently carried ofi'. As the landing was being 
 effected the heavy gun in Fort Tompkins was brought to bear with consider- 
 able effect upon the enemy's column. 
 
 " The fire of the militia was at first well directed and deadly, and was 
 answered by discharges of musketry, and by two small cannon loaded with 
 grape shot ; but Colonel Mills, who was stationed a short distance towards 
 the village, with his cannon, fell early in the engas;ement, and his death, with 
 the unaccustomed whistling of balls that cut down the branches of trees 
 around them, struck with terror the inexperienced militia, and without wait- 
 ing to return the fire or recover from the panic they turned and fled towards 
 the town in the greatest confusion. This retreat was not entirely general. 
 Capl. Samuel McNitt, who had been stationed with his company on the 
 extreme left of the flanking party of the militia, not noticing the movements 
 of his comrades, continued his firing after some moments longer, and before 
 he was aware he found himself and his party alone, and in danger of being 
 cut off by the enemy. General Brown, finding himself nearly alone, with no 
 support but his company, retired toward the village, directing those that 
 could be rallied to annoy the advancing column of the enemy as much as 
 possible. The enemy, having gained the beach and dispersed the mihtia, 
 formed in good order and marched toward the town. 
 
 " They were soon met by the troops of Colonel Backus, who had advanced 
 to dispute their progress, and who gallantly encountered and returned their

 fire, retiring slowly before them through the half-cleared woods. General 
 Brown had succeeded in rallying about a hundred militia, with the aid of 
 Caleb Westcott, a citizen, and others, and had joined the detachment of 
 Backus ; but at this juncture, happening to look towards the ship yard, he was 
 surprised to see huge volumes of smoke issuing from the storehouses that con- 
 tained the spoils of York, Not knowing but that the enemy might have 
 gained his rear, he hastened to the spot and ascertained that the disastrous 
 panic of the militia had been communicated to those in charge, and a report 
 had reached Lieutenant Chauncey, of the navy, that all was lost, and upon 
 the faith of this rumor he had given orders to fire the buildings, an act which 
 the most extreme and desperate issue of affairs alone could justify. Learn- 
 ing the cause of the conflagration, and somewhat relieved by the knowledge 
 that the enemy were still on but one side, he returned, giving directions to 
 Lieut. Ketchum, in Fort Tompkins, to maintain that post as long as the 
 heat of the flames would permit. The regulars of Col. Backus felt their 
 courage renewed upon learning the nature of the accident that had given a 
 natural alarm, and continued steadily to oppose the advance of the enemy, 
 who had now gained the clearing next the village. Very soon after. Col. 
 Backus fell, mortally wounded, and was borne off the field ; his troops taking 
 possession of some log barracks, and continuing their resistance. 
 
 " The enemy had throughout evinced great courage and coolness, and were 
 under the immediate command of Captain Gray, of the quartermaster-gen- 
 eral's department, who was advancing in front of the ranks, and walking 
 backwards, waving his sword for his troops to follow, and shouting, ' Come oUy 
 boys; the day is ours ! Remember York ! ' when he suddenly fell, wounded, 
 and immediately expired. 
 
 " At this moment the signal for retreat was given from the fleet, and the 
 enemy hastily retreated to their boats. This retreat is said to have been in 
 part caused by hearing a report of small arms on the right, from the rallied 
 miUtia, but which the enemy mistook for a reinforcement of 450 regulars, 
 which they had learned was advancing under Colonel Tuttle, and was then 
 within a mile of the .place. Their arrival would at once put an end to the 
 contest by giving us the advantage of numbers. The enemy on their retreat 
 removed a part of their wounded, and, having reembarked, they, at about lo- 
 o'clock, sent a flag demanding a surrender of the place which they had been 
 unable to capture, and were of course refused. They, however, were prom- 
 ised that decent attention should be paid to the dead and humane treatment 
 to the wounded. They shortly after sent another flag requesting to send 
 surgeons to their wounded, which was denied, as they seemed not to have 
 abandoned the attack, and were laying by in their barges; but shortly after 
 they put off to the fleet, which lay about five miles from the town, and made 
 sail for Kingston. Both Sir George Prevost and Sir James Yeo are said to 
 have landed during the engagement. 
 
 " The loss of the British was 150 killed and wounded ; 25 of their privates. 
 
TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 483 
 
 were found dead, two captains and 20 privates were wounded, and, including 
 the wounded, two captains, one ensign, and 32 privates were taken prisoners. 
 Our loss was 150 killed, wounded, and missing. The enemy took a few 
 prisoners, and one man was found in the woods killed and scalped by the 
 Indians. 
 
 " The flames of the burning stores were subdued as quickly as possible, 
 but not till they had consumed half a million of dollars' worth of property. 
 The ship Pike, then on the stocks, was saved-. The prize schooner, the 
 Duke of Gloucester, was saved by Lieutenant Talman, of the army, who 
 boarded it, extinguishing the fire, and brought her from under the flames of 
 the storehouses. This heroic conduct will be appreciated when it is known 
 that a large quantity of gunpowder was on board. The schooners Fair 
 America and Pert cut their cables and retreated up the river, and several of 
 the guns on Navy Point were spiked. Had it not been for this disastrous 
 mistake our success would have been complete. Colonel Backus survived 
 eight days, and hopes of his recovery were entertained, but mortification 
 supervened." — Hough's History of Jefferson County. 
 
 During the exciting times of the war about a dozen military executions 
 took place here for repeated desertion, with the effect of increasing the evil 
 and gaining for the malefactors the sympathy of their comrades and of civil- 
 ians. Many of the cases were of young men from New England, who left 
 sisters, mothers, and sweethearts, and enlisted in the heat of political excite- 
 ment and found themselves, after the romance of war had faded, subjected 
 to severe hardships and severer discipline, even cruelty, ill clad, ill fed, and 
 sometimes without shelter. Perhaps some should have suffered the penalty; 
 but the majority of them should have been forgiven and treated with con- 
 sideration and charity. These executions generally took place in the rear of 
 the village, where the graves were dug. " The brutality of officers was in 
 some cases excessive ; the most extreme cases of corporeal punishment being 
 inflicted from the slightest causes, or from mere caprice; and such was some- 
 times the bitterness of men towards officers that in one case it is said a capt- 
 ain durst not lead his company in an action for fear of being shot by his 
 own men." 
 
 The shedding of blood was not all done in battle. Public opinion was not 
 then so pronounced against dueling as now, and the several duels that were 
 fought here attracted httle attention. On June 13, 1818, one was fought with 
 muskets, near Madison Barracks, by two corporals of the 2d Regt. U. S. 
 Inf., which resulted in the instant death of one of the participants. 
 
 Soon after the battle of May, 1813, a breast-work of logs and earth was 
 built along the water-front of the villaste, one end touching the bay about 
 half, way between the harbor and Horse Island, and the other at the site of 
 Madison Barracks ; but no opportunity was ever afforded for testing these 
 defenses, as Sackets Harbor was never again attacked.

 Madison Barracks. — After " grim visag'd war had smooth'd his wrinkled 
 front" the government, recognizing the importance of Sackets Harbor as a 
 military post, in 1816-19 erected Madison Barracks at a cost of about 
 $85,000.* Regarding the history of this interesting raihtary reservation no 
 better authority is desired than the Medical History of the Post, a finely exe- 
 •cuted document in the possession of the surgeon in charge (to whom the 
 writer is indebted for favors), from which we quote : — 
 
 " Excepting a short distance in front of the parade, the land overlooks the 
 water by a perpendicular bluff of limestone. Originally a deep valley filled 
 with cedars occupied a portion of the parade. This was filled, and the 
 rough place in front was sloped off, and the boundary of the parade towards 
 the water was secured by a stone wall, brought up as high as the plane of the 
 parade, the surface of which was allowed to slope gently from the officers, 
 ■quarters towards the water. The reservation contains 39 J acres, purchased 
 in parcels at different dates as required, from July i, 1813, to March 28, 1817. 
 The reservation is in the form of an irregular four-sided figure, with gates for 
 footmen and vehicles on the southern and southwestern sides. About a third 
 of the water-front is occupied by Fort Pike, an ordinary earth breast-work 
 and water-battery, erected in 1812." 
 
 The principal buildings on the reservation are the officers' and men's 
 quarters, guard-house, hospital, the quartermaster's and commissary's store- 
 houses, which are constructed of stone, and the administraton building, ice- 
 house, etc., which are of wood. The officers' quarters consist of two rows 
 of buildings (one part being now in course of construction), each 217 by 33 
 feet. The men's quarters are also two rows of buildings, one on each side 
 of the parade, running northwest, at right angles to the officers' quarters. 
 Each row is 452 feet long, 23 feet wide, and two stories high. The hospital 
 is at the northwestern limit of the reservation, about 50 feet from the water. 
 This building, which is nearly square, with wings on the north and south, has 
 recently been subjected to a thorough renovation and extensive repairs. The 
 cemetery, which comprises about three acres, will be mentioned later. Con- 
 tinuing to quote from the Medical History : — 
 
 " The plan of the buildings was drawn by William Smith. Great irregu- 
 larity seems to have been practiced in the expenditure of public funds dur- 
 ing the construction of this place, by the issue of due-bills for labor, which 
 for a long time had but little value, and in consequence great fraud was put 
 upon some of the contractors,! which was in some measure remedied by an 
 act of Congress, passed in 1836, 'for the relief of Jesse Smith and others.' 
 * * * In the fall of i8i6 the men's quarters were so far completed 
 
 *The Medical History of the Post gives total cost of buildings, grading, etc., at 
 $150,000. 
 
 t The masonry work was done under contract by Orrin Ives, and the carpenter work by 
 Joseph Kimball, Philo Johnson, and Chauncey Calhoun. The grading of the site was 
 done by the 2d U. S. Inf.

 that five companies of the 2d Infantry moved into them from Navy Point, 
 though as yet some of the floors and porticoes were unfinished. Near the 
 top of the side of the officers' quarters, facing the sally-port, on each side are 
 tablets of stone, inscribed on the eastern side with ' Commenced August i, 
 1816; completed October, 1819'; on the western side, 'Erected by the 
 zd Infantry.' 
 
 " The zd U. S. Infantry,* whose history for 23 years after the close of the 
 war with Great Britain is inseparable from that of Madison Barracks, was re- 
 organized and filled up in 1815 at this place from volunteers, citizens, quar- 
 termaster's employees, etc., that were mustered out of service at the cessation 
 of hostilities. The addition of these new elements to the regiment required 
 the utmost rigor of discipline on the part of the officers to prevent outbreaks 
 of intemperance, violence, and the dissolute habits that had been learned in 
 the camps hereabout during the war. The moral tone of all classes along the 
 northern frontier appears to have been much shaken by the war about thi? 
 time, and among the officers difficulties often arose from slight causes, and 
 quite a number of duels are reported as having been fought among them at 
 this place, during the war and soon afterwards. The first one that comes 
 within the scope of this narrative was fought between Dr. Burr, U. S. A., 
 and a Lieutenant Smith, zd Infantry. Both parties were slightly wounded, 
 and Smith was afterwards hung in Philadelphia for killing Carson, captain of 
 an East Indian vessel. While the malign effects of the war upon the habits 
 and morals of both soldiers and citizens were seen in the prevalence of intem- 
 perance and other irregularities, a counter influence soon sprung into action 
 among the officers of the zd Infantry, for about this period they took the first 
 steps toward reestablishing religious services and for restoring public order, 
 then so much needed in this community. This regiment afterwards, in the 
 western country, was familiarly known as the ' praying regiment.' 
 
 " The first commanding officer of Madison Barracks was Colonel Hugh 
 Brady, zd U. S. Infantry, who, as mentioned above, moved into this place, 
 with five companies of his regiment, in the fall of 1816. From this date to 
 1833 no records concerning the place can be found. There is a report, how- 
 ever, that from 1816 to i8zi an artillery company, of which Capt. Hilerman 
 and Lieut. Leggett were officers, occupied Fort Pike. 
 
 " From 1816 to April, 1828, the garrison was occupied uninterruptedly by 
 the Second Infantry, and the commanding officers were, as far as can be 
 learned, as follows: — 
 
 " Lieut.-Col. William Lawrence, from January to December, 1824. 
 
 Col. Hugh Brady, December, 1824, to February, 1826. 
 
 Capt. P. Staniford, February to March, 1826. 
 
 Col. Hugh Brady, March to May, 1826. 
 
 %evet Capt. James Young, May to June, 1826. 
 
 Capt. J. D. Willdns, June to August, 1826. 
 
 Brevet Major N. S. Clark, August, 1826, to April, 1828. 
 
 * Organized by Col. Hugh Brady, who was subsequently transferred to the post at 
 Sault de Ste. Marie, and died in Detroit about 1851. 
 
486 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 " On the departure of the troops under Major Clark the belief was enter- 
 tained that there was but a remote chance that the barracks would be needed 
 again as a military post, whereupon Capt. Alden Partridge, a teacher of 
 some note in a military school at Middletown, Connecticut, obtained the 
 consent of Hon. Peter B. Porter, then Secretary of War, for the use of the 
 place for a term of years as a military and scientific school, which was 
 approved by the President and afterwards confirmed by a joint resolution of 
 Congress, May 24, 1828; but nothing further was done towards carrying 
 out the project beyond announcing the object to the citizens in the vicinity. 
 " November 21, 1828, the barracks were again occupied by two companies 
 of the Second Infantry, under Capt. William Hoffman, who remained till 
 April I, 1829, when he was succeeded by 
 
 " Col. Hugh Brady, 2d Infty., April 1 to May 12, 1829. 
 Lieut.-Col. A. Cummings, 2d Infty., May 12, 1829, to May 29, 1831. 
 - Capt. O. Kansom, 2d Infty., May 29, 1831, to August 16, 1831. 
 
 Capt. "William Hoffman, 23 Infty., August 16 to September 17, 1831. 
 Lieut.-Col. A. Cummings, 2d Infty., September 17, 1831, to May 20, 1832.

 Hawk war, the place was again left unoccupied, and under the charge of 
 Ordnance-Sergeant Gaines till May 19, 1834. 
 
 " On May 9, 1834, Lieut.-Col. A. Cummings, with his adjutant, Gallagher, 
 returned and established the headquarters of the Second Infantry at the bar- 
 racks, where it remained undisturbed till June, 1837, when the troubles on 
 the northern frontier, familiarly known at the Patriot War, caused the with- 
 drawal of the troops, and the place again was left in charge of Ordnance-Ser- 
 geant Gaines till June, 1838, when it was reoccupied by a detachment of the 
 Second Infantry, under the command of Lieut.-Col. A. Cummings. August 
 28, 1838, Col. W. J. Worth, Eighth U. S. Infantr)', assumed command of the 
 barracks, and commenced the organization of the Eighth Infantry, authorized 
 by act of Congress, July 5, 1838, and the detachment under Lieut.-Col. 
 A. Cummings took its departure for the West. This closed the service of the 
 Second Infantry at this place. " 
 
 During the occupancy of this post by Colonel Brady the remains of most 
 of the officers who had fallen in the field, or died of sickness on the frontier, 
 were collected and buried together, within the pickets of Madison Barracks. 
 Over these sacred and honored ashes a temporary wooden monument of pine 
 boards was erected, from the defaced and broken panels of which Historian 
 Hough deciphered and preserved the following inscriptions : — 
 
 North Side.—" Brigadier-General L. Covington, killed, Chrysler's Field, U. C, November 
 11, 1813." " Lieutenant-Colonel E. Baclras, Dragoons, lulled at Sackets Harbor, 29 May, 1813." 
 
 ^as< &'cte.—" Colonel Tuttle," "Lieutenant-Colonel Dix," " Major Johnson," " Lieutenant 
 "Vaudeventer." 
 
 South Side.— " Lieutenant-Colonel Mills, Volunteer, killed at Sackets Harbor, 29 May, 
 1813." "Captain A. Spencer, 29th Infantry, aid-de-camp to Major-General Brown, killed at 
 Lundy's Lane, July 25, 1814." 
 
 West Side.— " Brigadier-General Z. M. Pike, killed at York, U. C, 27 April, 1813." " Cap- 
 tain Joseph Nicholson, 14th Infantry, aid-de-camp to General Pike, killed at York, U. C. 27

 In 1839 Colonel Mills's remains were removed to Albany, being escorted 
 to the steamer for Oswego by the 8th Regiment, Colonel Worth in command. 
 During the Patriot war the steamer Telegraph was fitted out at the bar- 
 racks and manned with one compmy of the 8th Infantry, and was kept 
 ■cruising about the Thousand Islands, in concert with a force of British, in 
 search of Bill Johnston, who led the party which burned the Sir Robert Peel 
 at Wells Island, on the night of May 29, 1838. In the fall the steamer 
 Oneida joined the Telegraph with another company of the 8th Infantry 
 on board, all under Colonel Worth, who laid off Wind-Mill Point, during the 
 battle at that place, November 13, 1838. The same day Colonel Worth 
 captured several boats, loaded with supplies for the patriots, which were taken 
 to Sackets Harbor and, with their cargoes, sold by the United States marshal. 
 "About the time Col. Worth took command of the barracks there was 
 some prospect of trouble with Great Britain, and in consequence of authority 
 invested in him he added the buildings necessary to complete the garrison, 
 and put all the others in good repair. The building put up at this time were 
 the commissary and quartermaster's storehouse, and the hospital, guard- 
 house, and ordnance buildings. The total outlay was about $150,000." * 
 
 "The organization of the 8th Infantry was completed in 1840, and nine 
 companies and the band occupied the barracks. Owing to excessive 
 crowding much sickness resulted, and in the fall of 1839 there were reported 
 by Dr. Thomas Henderson, U. S. A., 90 cases of death by remittent fever. 
 Col. Worth was followed in command of the barracks by the following named 
 officers of his (8th) regiment : — 
 
 " Capt. G. Wright, August 28, 1836, to April 14, 1839. 
 Captain F. Stamford, April 14 to June 26, 1839. 
 - Lient.-Colonel N. S. Clark, June 26 to October, 1839. 
 Col. W. J. 'Worth, October to December, 1839. 
 Lieut.-Colonel N. S. Clark, December, 1839, to January 20, 1840. 
 Captain G. Wright, January 20 to Febnjary 2, 1840. 
 Lieut.-Colonel N. S. Clark, February 2 to April 22, 1840. 
 Colonel W. J. Worth, April 22 to May 2, 1840. 
 Lieut. J. K. Smith, May 2 to September 22, 1840. 
 
 " The 8th Infantry soon after this last date was ordered to Florida, and 
 Lieut. Smith was reheved by Major M. M. Payne, of the 2d Artillery, with 
 two companies of his regiment. He remained in command at the barracks 
 from September 22 to October 4, and was succeeded by 
 
 " Leiut.-Colonel J. B. Crane, 2d Artillery, October 4 to November 12, 1840. 
 
 Major M. M. Payne, 2d ArtiUery, November 12, 1840, to August 13, 1841. 
 
 Major F. S. Belton, 4th Artillery, August 13, 1841, to June 24, 1842. 
 
 "The artillery was relieved by Major J. Plymton, 2d Infantry, with three 
 
 companies of his regiment. Major Plymton assumed command June 24, 
 
 1842, and was relieved December 4, 1844, by Captain J. J. B. Kmgsbury, of 
 
 the same regiment. Major Plymton again took command January 30, 1845,

 and stayed till August 13, 1846, when the troops were sent to the Mexican 
 border, and the barracks left in charge of Ordnance-Sergeant Gaines fron> 
 that time until November 13, 1848. November 13, 1848, the barracks were 
 occupied by Major T. Lee, of the 4th Infantry, with two companies of his in- 
 fantry. He was followed September 7, 1849, by Lieut.-Col. B. L. E. Boonville, 
 of the same regiment. After him the post commander was the colonel of this 
 regiment, Col. William Whistler, in charge from June 27, 1851, to June 18, 
 1852, at which latter date the post was left in charge of Ordnance-Sergeant 
 Gaines, and was so occupied for nearly nine years, or until the breaking out 
 of the Rebellion in 186 1. The buildings and fences became badly dilapi- 
 dated, and certain parties living in the neighborhood plundered more or less 
 of value from the premises. While the 94th Regt. Vol. Inf. was quartered 
 here, with Col. W. B. Camp in command of the barracks by virtue of his rank 
 on the- governor's staff. First Lieut. George Ryan, 7th U. S. Infantry, with 
 Co. B, of his regiment, paroled prisoners from the Indian country, joined the 
 barracks December 22, 1861. Lieut. Ryan, on his arrival with his small 
 company of paroled, dispirited men, found themselves quite swallowed up 
 by the new regiment of young, eager, undisciplined, raw recruits under Colo- 
 nel Camp, whose position as a nominal officer on the governor's staff in- 
 vited controversy and trouble, and it was not long before it came, in the shape 
 of a dispute for the command of the post. Lieut. Eyan put the question 
 to the test by arresting Colonel Camp's guard, and by substituting his own 
 instead. The difficulty was settled by the War Department confining 
 Lieut. Ryan's authority to the limits of the quartermaster's and commissary's 
 storehouse till the 94th left. 
 
 " The 94th and Lieut. Ryan's Co. (B) of the 7th were crowded into the men's 
 quarters, and as there were nearly a thousand of them, and the ventilation 
 was either bad or totally wanting, these causes, combined with a wrong mode 
 of living, produced many cases of fever among the men, attended with con- 
 siderable mortality. Lieut. Ryan was relieved April 29, 1862, by Capt. R. M. 
 Stevenson, of the 7th Infantry, also a paroled prisoner from the Indian 
 country. Stevenson died while in command, October 8, 1862. In 1864, 
 after the i86thN. Y. Vols, (which was organized at Sackets Harbor for the 
 period of one year) had left, the barracks had become sadly out of repair by 
 general misuse, and Capt. Elisha Camp, A. Q. M., U. S. A., was ordered on 
 from Washington, with a force of skilled carpenters, to put it in a good state 
 of repair. He expended some $r3,ooo, and placed everything once more in 
 good shape. 
 
 "From November 8, 1864, to February, 1865, ist Lieut. Walter Clifford 
 occupied the barracks with a detachment of the i6th U. S. Inf. From 
 March 5, 1865, to May 10, 1865, Capt. Pliny Moore, with one company of 
 frontier cavalry, occupied the place with the above detachment of the i6th 
 Infantry, and Capt. H. F. Turner, with the same command, held the place 
 from May 10 to June 25, 1865. This frontier cavalry was employed in

 protecting the northern frontier from such raiding parties as that which plun- 
 dered St. Albans, Vt., in 1864, and for watching the suspicious sympathizers 
 of the rebels going to and from Canada. The company of this organization 
 stationed at this place guarded the line from Cape Vincent to Henderson Bay. 
 "From June 20, 1865, to March 29, 1866, Col. C. C. Sibley, of the i6th 
 Infantry, commanded the barracks, then occupied by portions of the 1st and 
 2d bataUions of his regiment and one company of the 4th Infantry. Lieut. - 
 Col. A. J. Slemmer, of the latter regiment, and during the war in command 
 of Fort Pickens, on Santa Rosa Island, near Pensacola, Florida, had charge 
 of the post from March 29 to September 29, 1866, being relieved at the latter 
 date by Capt. William H. Powell, also of the 4th Infantry, who remained 
 in command till March 25, 1867. From June 20, 1865, to April 30, 1867, 
 the headquarters of the 16th Infantry was established here. March 25, 1867, 
 the detachments of the 4th and i6th Infantry were relieved by 2d Lieut. A. C. 
 Bayne, 42d U. S. Infantry (Veteran Reserve Corps). Brevet Major TuUy 
 McCrea, captain of Co. C of this regiment, commanded the post from April 
 IS to April 29, 1867, and was succeeded by Brevet Major-General J. B. 
 Mcintosh, who transferred the headquarters of the regiment from Plattsburgh 
 Barracks to this place, where it remained till April 13, 1869, when the regi- 
 ment took its departure for Fort Gibson, C. T., to be consolidated with the 
 6th U. S. Infantry. While General Mcintosh was in command about $25,000 
 worth of repairs and painting was put upon the barracks. 
 
 " The following of the 42d Regt., V. R. C, had command of the bar- 
 racks, succeeding General Mcintosh : — 
 
 " Maj. T. I*. Bobenbough, from December 12, 1867, to May 26, 1868. 
 
 Bvt. Major C. T. Greene, from May 26 to June 3, 1868. 
 
 Maj. T. F. Bobenbough, from June 7 to August 20, 1868. 
 
 Brt. Major C. T. Greene, from August 30 to October 5, 1868. 
 
 Maj. T. F. Bobenbough, from October 5, 1868, to February 16, 1869. 
 
 Bvt. Major C. T. Greene, from February 16 to March 5, 1869. 
 
 Bvt. Brig.-Geu. T. F. Bobenbough, from March 5 to April 13, 1869. 
 
 " On the latter date ist Lieut. A. Miltemore, ist U. S. Artillery, with a 
 small detachment of Battery F, arrived at the post, and on the 14th Bvt. 
 Lieut.-Col. R. C. Dury ea arrived with the remainder of the battery, and assumed 
 command, which he held until May 26, 1870, when the troops were removed 
 to Ogdensburg. The next person to command was Major C. L. Best, of the 
 ist Artillery. The troops in garrison during October, 1870, were those of 
 Battery F, ist Artillery, and Co. B, ist U. S. Infantry. 
 
 " November i, 1872, Major Best left with Battery F, and turned over the 
 command to ist Lieut. John L. Worden, Jr., of Co. B, ist Infantry. Decem- 
 ber 7 Battery D, 3d Artillery, arrived, and its captain, John G. Trumbull, 
 assumed command of the post by virtue of his rank." 
 
 Lieut.-Col, Bvt. Brig..-Gen. R. B. Ayres, of the 3d Artillery, assumed 
 command December 10, 1872. He is often mentioned for gallant 
 services in the Army of the Potomac. November 6, 1876, eight sets of- 
 
490 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 officers' quarters were destroyed by fire, leaving only the colonel's quarters 
 to the eart of sally-port. Lieut. Abbott remained when Ayres left, in 
 1876, to be relieved by Bvt. Brig.-Gen. James Robertson, 3d Artillery, who 
 retired from the service in 1879. Bvt. Maj. James R. Kelly was now in 
 command, and during his administration the officers' quarters were rebuilt 
 in 1879-80. Hon. George Bagley, M. C, was instrumental in procuring an 
 appropriation of $25,000 for that purpose, assisted by friends of the project. 
 Maj. and Bvt. Brig.-Gen. W. M. Graham relieved Maj. Kelly, occupying the 
 post till September 12, 1882, when Bvt. Maj.-Gen. Orlando B. Willcox 
 arrived with six companies of the 12th U. S. Inf., making it headquarters. 
 Previous to their arrival Surgeon Edwards, 1872-74, and Surgeon H. S. Turrill, 
 U. S. A., 1879-83, had insisted upon an entire change in respect to sanitary 
 regulations. The latter, in 1879, found 20 per cent, of organic matter in the 
 earth surrounding the quarters; after partial sewerage only three per cent, 
 in three months. Diphtheria and scarlet fever prevailed in the neighboring 
 village and villages, without a case entering the reservation. Gen. Willcox, 
 with his efficient officers, continued the improvement by adding Holly's sys- 
 tem of water-works to more sewerage, and heating the barracks with furnaces. 
 Gen. Sherman had, since 1872, been opposed to making any improvements, 
 looking to abandonment of the post entirely. Influences had been brought 
 to bear so as to change his opposition. When the 12th arrived he visited 
 the post and became convinced as to the desirability of the location strate- 
 gically, and for a post of rest for troops long upon the plains or in climes 
 where discomforts wear both mind and body. Sheridan ordered the sol- 
 diers' quarters raised a story, and on the arrival of the nth Inf., Col. Rich- 
 ard Irvin Dodge, rapid and substantial improvements went on. An adminis- 
 tration building, 104x42, had its foundation laid in November, to be enclosed 
 the following month, mid severe and tempestuous weather. All the executive 
 offices, with library, school-room, and printing office, are below. Above, 
 Dodge hall extends the whole length. Two stone buildings, a quarter- 
 master's and commissary's storehouses have been built. Steam heating has 
 been introduced throughout the entire barracks with complete success. Broad 
 piazzas, facing the soldiers' quarters, replace the old ones. The hospital has 
 gone through changes to make it a complete one, as present requirements 
 demand; also a house for the hospital steward as annex. The most con- 
 spicuous and marked change has been the erection of officers' quarters to 
 the west of sally-port, in place of the old set erected so indifferently in 
 1816-19. Coal and ice houses, with capacity sufficient for all needs, walks 
 and enclosures, and new driveways — all objectionable out-houses removed. 
 The cemetery, so long neglected, remained a reproach until Gen. Willcox 
 gave his Christian care to renovating the ground of briars, disclosing some 
 historic names that were called to his attention by an interested citizen. Col. 
 Dodge has made it the most attractive spot in the reservation — an iron fence, 
 formerly around Lafayette Park, Washington, was secured by him, and now

 -encloses the grounds. Monuments have been restored, and the reflection of 
 Historian Hough, " that some day a suitable monument ought to be erected 
 over the resting place of such illustrious heroes as Gen. Pike, Dix, Backus, 
 Mills, and others," has been accomplished. A sarcophagus of granite has 
 been erected to the memory of the ten officers whose names were copied by 
 Mr. Hough in time to save the fading record, and " to the unknown dead " 
 to the number of 1,700 who perished and were buried in the locality. Im- 
 posing ceremonies on Decoration day, the 30th of May, 1888, were insti- 
 tuted by Col. Dodge. By invitation the G. A. R. organizations of this and 
 neighboring posts dedicated the monument after the forms of their order, 
 with the whole U. S. comn\and and 2,000 citizens to assist. Col. W. B. 
 Camp gave the address. 
 
 Col. Dodge has expended $61,000, with promise of more extended outlay, 
 hoping to make a full regimental post of unexceptional importance. Fol- 
 lowing is a roster of the nth Regiment : —

 ■Col. R. I. Dodge made his acquaintance with the circumstances of war at 
 Bull Run. His executive abilities were early recognized by our government, 
 and made available by appointments to such important commands as provost 
 marshal-general of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York city. As an 
 author Col. Dodge has the distinguished reputation of having produced the 
 most complete and popular works on life and habits of the Indians, and the 
 country they inhabit. His last work has already reached 65,000 copies from

 veterans. Their individual histories cannot be given here. Some would

 Naval Staticn.—Mttr the close of the War of 1812 a naval station was- 
 permanently established at Sackets Harbor, and Lieut. Thomas Brownell, 
 who had sailed under Commodore Perry, was appointed to its command. 
 Following Lieutenant Brownell in command came Capt. Charles T. Piatt,. 
 Capt. George Sawyer, Capt. James Mcintosh, Capt. Josiah Tatnall, after- 
 wards a commodore in the Confederate navy during the Rebellion, and Capt. 
 George N. Hollins, also a rebel commodore afterwards. Previous to i86» 
 Capt. Tatnall had been to China, and on returning, having been promoted 
 to commodore, relieved Captain Hollins. Captain Hollins went from' 
 Sackets Harbor to the Mediterranean, in command of the U. S. frigate 
 Susquehanna, and on the breaking out of the Rebellion resigned his command 
 and joined the southern navy. After Tatnall was here the second time the- 
 command was given to Commodore E. A. F. Lavelette, who stayed until' 
 1862, in the fall of which year he was relieved by Commodore Theodorus 
 Bailey, afterwards retired at the rank of rear-admiral. He stayed until some 
 time in 1863, and was succeeded by Henry Metcalf, of Sackets Harbor, who, 
 in connection with his duties as ship-keeper, had charge of the station until 
 July, 1 865. Commodore J. B. Montgomery was stationed in charge succeed- 
 ing Metcalf, and stayed three years, being succeeded by Rear- Admiral J. B.. 
 Montgomery. Commodore Francis B. Ellison was next here, and stayed 
 two years, or until 187 1, and was relieved by Commodore J. P. McKinstry. 
 The latter stayed but about three weeks, and was in turn relieved by Capt. 
 Alexander C. Rhind, who was here only two weeks, after which the station 
 was placed in charge of Ship-Keeper Albert H. Metcalf 
 
 During the war the ship building department was directed by Henry 
 Eckford, who accumulated a fortune, which he afterwards lost in unfortunate 
 speculation, and gained a world-wide fame by the rapidity with which he con- 
 structed large vessels. The Mohawk, a frigate of 44 guns, launched at 
 Sackets Harbor, occupied him but 34 (^ays in building. The line-of-battle- 
 ship New Orleans, built in 1815, as a countermatch to the St. Lawrence, a 
 three-deck man-of war set afloat by the British, was carried to the point of 
 completion in even less time. The New Orleans had a keel of 187 feet, 
 breadth of beam 56 feet, and 30 feet depth of hold, with a measurement of 
 3,200 tons. She was pierced for no guns, but could have carried 120. The 
 vessel was never launched, owing to the peace measures adopted by the two 
 countries; and to preserve her the government erected a house over her at 
 considerable expense. For many years the New Orleans was the greatest 
 object of interest to tourists on the American shore of Lake Ontario. She 
 was bought by Alfred Wilkinson, of Syracuse, for $400, and torn down and 
 carried away. While tearing it down on February 9, 1884, the old ship fell,, 
 killing two men and severely injuring several others.

 The Chippewa^ a vessel of the same class, was being built at Starr's Har- 
 bor, farther up the bay, but the news of peace put a stop to the work upon- 
 her also, which had not advanced as far as on the New Orleans. A house 
 was built over her and preserved for a number of years, but the vessel was 
 finally taken down for the iron it contained and the house removed. 
 
 The Old Battle-Groiind. — On July 6, 1886, on the occasion of the cele- 
 bration of the anniversary of American Independence, there was assembled 
 at Sackets Harbor a notable gathering of military and civic personages to 
 assist in and witness the presentation of the old battle-ground of the War of 
 1812-15 jointly to the village of Sackets Harbor and the Jefferson County 
 Historical Society. The day was as beautiful as so worthy an undertaking 
 deserved. The military organizations present were the 39th Separate Com- 
 pany of Watertown, under command of Captain James S. Miller; the 12th 
 Infantry band and five companies of regulars from Madison Barracks, under- 
 command of General O. B. Willcox ; and the Q. M. Camp and J. K. Barnes 
 Posts, G. A. R., with bands and drum corps. A platform was erected on the 
 old battle-ground overlooking the harbor and lake. The stand was occupied 
 by members of the historical society, among whom were H. M. Allen,, 
 mayor of Watertown, Rev. Dr. Randolph, T. H. Camp, Jason M. Fair- 
 banks, W. B. Camp, Lewis J. Hooker, Lotus Ingalls, B. Brockway, Albert 
 D. Shaw, Sidney Cooper, L. J. Dorwin, Moses Eames, D. S. Marvin, Justus 
 Eddy, R A. Oakes, Judge A. H. Sawyer, Rev. Dr. R. Fisk, E. M. Gates, 
 Hiram Converse, C. M. Clark, Rev. J. Winslow, E. Q. Sewall, Richard M. 
 Earl, Jr., president of the village of Sackets Harbor, and the trustees of 
 Sackets Harbor, and many other prominent citizens of Jefferson County; 
 also Judge Turner and Wilham McCulloch, of Lowville, the latter a veteran 
 of the War of 1812; the Hon. John F. Seymour, Dr. M. M. Bagg, and R.D.. 
 Williams, of the Oneida Historical Society of Utica. C. M. Clark, Esq., was. 
 president of the day. Speeches were made by Rev. Richmond Fisk, D. D., 
 General O. B. Willcox, Hon. J. F. Seymour, and Col. Albert D. Shaw. Let- 
 ters and telegrams of regret were received from Generals Sheridan, Schofield, 
 and Robenbough, Hon. Ellis H. Roberts, of Utica, Hon. Charles R. Skin- 
 ner, and others. At the conclusion of Col. Shaw's address Col. Walter B. 
 Camp, sole surviving executor of Col. Elisha Camp, in behalf of the heirs of 
 the estate presented to Mr. B. Brockway, president of the Historical Society, 
 and to Richard M. Earl, the president, and trustees of the village of Sackets.. 
 Harbor, the papers, duly executed, conveying to said society and village the 
 old battle-ground. In presenting the papers Col. Camp said: — 
 
 "It is easy to picture to our imagination, gathered round about us, the veteran host who 
 once bivouacked upon these grounds. Could our eyes be opened as were the prophets of old, 
 chariots and horsemen might be seen attending the fair Goddess of Liberty, and viewing with -. 
 approving smile the otlerings of their loyal children to-day. How cheering the thought that 
 the same infinite source that endows mortals with the faculty of retaining past events can 
 extend that god-like quality to those who pass into the bourne of his infinity! How natural to ■ 
 suppose the invisible army are marshaled here: shades of Scott, Harrison, Brown, Pike,-

 that certain piece or parcel of land designated as the battle and camping-ground of 1812, lying 
 in the village of Sackets, to have and hold by deed and trust according to the provisions of 
 said papers, and to be known as Fort Tompkins Park." 
 
 President Brockway, for the historical society, acknowledged the gift as 
 follows : — 
 
 " Col. Camp and Fellow- Citizens : 
 
 " On behalf of the Jefferson County Historical Society I gratefully accept the historic trust 
 which you have so eloquently presented, jointly, to our society, and to the trustees of this vil- 
 lage. It is a gift of great value, and one that should be— and will be — highly prized by all our 
 people. Such generous soUcitude for the preservation of historic battle-fields is worthy of all 
 praise, and the ceremonies of this day will long be remembered as among the most interesting 
 in the annals of our county. I trust that these grounds may be made beautiful in years to 
 come — and that some suitable monument may be erected here to mark the deeds of heroes who 
 gave their lives to the cause of their country." 
 
 President Earl, for the village of Sackets Harbor, acknowledged the gift 
 as follows : — 
 
 " Col. Camp, Ladies, and Gentlemen : 
 
 "I accept, on behalf of the trustees of the village of Sackets Harbor, the valuable gift, 
 jointly, conveyed this day to the Jefferson County Historical Society, and to our village. We 
 shall take pride in doing what we can to carry out the wishes of the donors, and will heartily 
 join in such improvements as may be possible within our means to make this battle-fleld at- 
 tractive as a historic park." 
 
 The Rev. J. Winslow, then amidst the firing of guns, read the following 
 sentences : — 
 
 "In the name and by the authority of the Historical Society of Jefferson County and the 
 corporation of the village of Sackets Harbor, and in the presence of the military of the United 
 States of America and the posts of the G. A. E., and in the presence of the citizens of this and 
 adjoining counties, we now dedicate this battle-tield to the memory of those who in the navy 
 guarded our inland seas and lakes and ocean coasts. We dedicate it to the memory of those 
 who in the army fought for our hillsides, villages, and plains. We dedicate it to the memory 
 of those who on land and sea fought for the defense of the Union and the American flag." 
 
 After a prayer by Rev. Mr. Winslow a salute of 38 guns was fired by the 
 U. S. Battery, commanded by Lieut. Abbott. The military then re-formed 
 andtaarched back to the barracks, where the members of the 39th Separate 
 Company from Watertown were entertained at lunch by the officers of the 
 garrison. 
 
496 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 The gentlemen of the historical society, with guests and orators of the day, 
 by invitation of Col. W. B. Camp, proceeded to his spacious residence, once 
 that of General Woolsey. Here, under the trees, at three p. m., 35 guests 
 sat down to a most bountiful dinner. After dinner several inpromptu 
 speeches were made and many pleasing reminiscences indulged in. Col. 
 Camp related how it came about that the old battle-ground was given away. 
 It was to carry out the wishes of Col. Elisha Camp, that the battle-ground be 
 kept as a park. He had often long before his death expressed the wish that 
 the village would buy the ground and beautify it. Mr. Camp closed by ex- 
 pressing the hope that the historical society and the village would be able to 
 beautify the place and render it an attractive park. Its situation on a bluff, 
 overlooking the large harbor and the lake, is unsurpassed for beauty of view. 
 
 It is to be regretted that no appropriate monument has been erected by 
 the national government to mark this historic spot, where was fought the first 
 battle of the important war, the success of which for the American forces 
 firmly established our independence. Not long since an effort was inaugu- 
 rated by an enterprising and patriotic citizen of the village, assisted by friends 
 in Washington, to interest our legislators in securing for this ancient battle- 
 ground proper recognition in the form of an appropriation to be expended in 
 the erection of a suitable memorial. This laudable project v/as probably 
 defeated because there was not enough of political jobbery in it to inspire 
 our patriotic (before election) senators and representatives. 
 
 The following copy of an ancient document, the original of which is in the 
 possession of Col. W. B. Camp, will show the expense attending, and manner 
 of celebrating, the anniversary of our national mdependence in the early 
 days : —

 ' CHURCHES. 
 
 Sackets Harbor Preshyteria7i C^z/riT/^ was organized February 12, 1816, and 
 Melanchthon T. Woolsey, Samuel Bosworth, Samuel F. Hooker, Elisha Camp, 
 and Enoch Ely were the first trustees. Meetings were held in the school- 
 house until their first church edifice was erected in 1820, at which time the 
 trustees were Josiah Bacon, Amos Catlin, George Camp, L. Dennison, J. V. 
 Bacon, J. G. Parker, and S. Johnson. In the great fire of August 23, 1843, 
 their church building was destroyed, and in 1843 the present brick structure 
 was erected by the following trustees : W. R. Stow, R. S. Robbins, Jason 
 Phelps, H. Cook, S. A. Hudson, Walter Kimball, and George Camp. The 
 •original cost of this structure was $6,000. It will comfortably seat 400 per- 
 sons, and is valued, including grounds and other church property, at about 
 $8,000. The chapel adjoining the church was erected in 1879 by Walter B. 
 Camp, and dedicated on Christmas, at which time it was presented as a clear 
 gift to the church society by the generous builder. Since its organization the 
 pastors of the church have been as follows, with their terms of service : Sam- 
 uel Snowden, March, 1817, to March 1826; Jedediah Burchard, December, 
 1826, to September, 1827 ; James R. Boyd, November, 1827, to September, 
 1830; E. Spencer, September, 1830, to September, 183 1 ; James W. Irwin, 
 November, 1831, to November, 1835; James R. Boyd (supplied), April, 1835, 
 to April, 1836 ; George Wilson, July, 1836, to July, 1839 ; S. Sturges, Novem- 
 ber, 1839, to July, 1841 ; F. G. Townsend, October, 1841, to September, 
 1849; L. A. Sawyer, January, 1849, to October, 1854; G. S. Brownson, 
 January, 1855, to October, 1857 ; W. W. Warner, January, 1857, to Jan- 
 uary, 1859; A. T. Young, July, i860, to July, 1864; Henry Hickock, Jan- 
 uary, 1866, to May 28, 1882. A. B. Allen and L. R. Webber succeeded 
 Mr. Hickock, and the latter is the present pastor. The present membership 
 of the society is about 85. Since the organization of the Sunday-school, in 
 181 7, it has had but three superintendents — George Camp, Jason Phelps, and 
 Walter B. Camp. The latter has held the position for the past 30 years. 
 
 Christ's Episcopal Church at Sackets Harbor was organized August 6, 
 1821, and the first vestry consisted of Zeno Allen and Ehsha Camp, wardens; 
 Robert M. Harrison, Samuel O. Auchmuty, William Kendall, John McCarty, 
 Hiram Steele, Thomas J. Angel, Hiram Merrill, and Thomas Y. Howe, ves-

 trymen. The first who officiated and preached here was Bishop Hobart, 
 who, in his reports records having visited Sackets Harbor, Thursday after- 
 noon, September 14, 1821. At a meeting of the vestry, September 29, 
 182 1, it was voted to give Henry Moore Shaw $600 per year, which he ac- 
 cepted, and served as first rector of the church. The church edifice of this 
 society was commenced in 1823, but was not completed until 1832. It is 
 of stone, cost $500, about its present value, and will comfortably seat 300 
 persons. The present rector is Rev. J. Winslow, of Watertown. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church of Sackets Harbor was organized May 9, 
 183 1, with Asahel Smith, Alvah Kinney, Hiram Steele, John H. McKee, 
 William Francis, Elijah Field, Daniel Griffin, Samuel Whitty, and Samuel C. 
 De Camp, trustees, with 15 members. In 1835 it was reorganized, and in 
 1 84 1 they erected a church at a cost of $3,000. This building, which is lo- 
 cated on Main street, was repaired in 1881, and is now valued, including 
 grounds and other church property, at $4,100. It will comfortably seat 400 
 persons. The present membership of the church is 115, and the Sunday-school 
 has 180 scholars and 25 teachers. The first pastor of the church was Rev. 
 J. L. Hunt, and the present one is Rev. Harvey L. Holmes. 
 
 The Roman Catholic Church at Sackets Harbor was organized in 1886 by 
 Rev. Eugene I. V. Huiginn, the first pastor, with 40 members, and the same 
 year a house of worship was erected at a cost of $500. 
 
 The Christian Church at East Hounsfield was organized in 1844 by Rev. 
 Libbius Field, the first pastor. Their house of worship, a wooden structure, 
 was built in 1844 and cost $1,000. It will seat 150 persons, and is valued, 
 including grounds, etc., at about $2,000. The present membership is 40, 
 under the pastoral charge of Rev. Berrass Fanton. 
 
 The Catholic Church, located in the northeastern part of Hounsfield, was 
 organized by Father Mahoy, in 1870, with 100 members. Their house of 
 worship, which will comfortably seat 200 persons, was built in 1870 at a cost 
 of $500, about its present value. The parish is under the supervision of a 
 priest who resides in Watertown. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Sulphur Springs, in Hounsfield, 
 was organized in 1877, with a small number of members, and Rev. S. M. 
 Fisk was the first pastor. Their house of worship was built by the Seventh- 
 Day Baptist Society, at a cost of about $500. It will seat 150 persons, and 
 is valued, including grounds, etc., at $1,200. The present membership is 
 30, and Rev. Harvey L. Holmes is pastor. The Sunday-school has seven 
 teachers and 60 scholars. 
 
 AUGUSTUS SACKET. 
 
 " Augustus Sacket,* the pioneer of Sackets Harbor, was born in the city 
 of New York, November 10, 1769, where he received his education and 
 acquired the profession of law. In 1801, having purchased a tract in Houns- 
 * Hough. 
 
TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD.

 field, he came on and began the first settlement at that place, and commenced 
 its improvement with much energy. Upon the formation of a collection dis- 
 trict he was appointed the first collector, and at the organization of the 
 County Court was made first judge. In 1809, having sold his property in 
 this county, he removed to Jamaica, L. I., from whence, in 181 2, he went to 
 Meadville, Pa., having there purchased 300,000 acres of land. He soon 
 returned to New York city, and in 1820 he went to Rutherford County, N. C, 
 having become interested in a large tract of land in that state. By a subse- 
 quent transaction he became interested in the islands of the St. Lawrence, 
 and returned to Sackets Harbor, and in 1827 removed to Newburg. In 
 these varied changes and transactions in land speculations he was ultimately 
 very unfortunate. He died at Albany, April 29, 1827, of a sudden sickness, 
 while on his way to this county." 
 
 COLONEL ELISHA CAMP. 
 
 One of the prominent and deservedly recognized leaders among the early 
 settlers in Jefferson County was Elisha Camp, born in Catskill, N. Y., in 
 1786, and in what he playfully claimed a Stone Jug. A spendthrift, renegade 
 Englishman squandered a fortune there during the war of 1776. His stone 
 mansion (in which Mr. Camp was born) and elegant grounds went into his- 
 tory as the Stone Jug and dies folly. 
 
 The mother of Elisha appears to have been one of that resolute and 
 superior class who could make any sacrifice to advance the welfare of a 
 dependent family. Especially marked was her desire to favor the ambition 
 of this son, who, at the early age of 14, entered Columbia College, graduating 
 one year in advance of his class. 
 
 The distinguishing traits of character there exhibited fathered the man, 
 possessing as he did a masterly determination to meet any responsibility, 
 trust, or condition of circumstances. About 1802 he entered the law office 
 of Judge Storrs, Whitestown, N. Y., where he attracted the attention of 
 Bishop Hobart, who pressed upon the young aspirant to the law the import- 
 ance of giving his talents to the church, and to enter the ministry. Mr. Camp 
 did not discover in himself qualifications to assume the responsibihties of so 
 sacred a calling, for the office of which he held profound respect. 
 
 Judge Augustus Sacket, of New York, and brother-in-law of Elisha 
 Camp, made extensive purchases of land in the " Black River country " in 
 1801, comprising the present village of Sackets Harbor and part of town* 
 ship. We find Mr. Camp here in 1804, at 18 years of age, as attorney, act- 
 ively entering upon his profession. In 1807 he was appointed surveyor of 
 the town. Mr. Sacket sold his interest in lands in this locality in i8og to a 
 syndicate in New York city, who appointed Mr. Camp their resident agent. 
 This brought him in contact with that influential class of distinguished 
 names who figured so prominently in the affairs of our state and country. 
 In every enterprise that engaged their attention he was more or less asso-

 «ated. Their enlarged views and the times stimulated the young, ardent, 
 and patriotic agent to untiring devotion to the wants of the new comers to this 
 region, who were seeking homes and citizenship. Whatever demands were 
 made upon his splendid physical endowments, matched by his mental vigor 
 and powers, were met without stint or tire. Mr. Camp was supervisor in 
 1809-19. In 181 1 he organized an artillery company, and as captain offered 
 their services to Gov. Tompkins on the declaration of war in 1812, to have 
 a taste of battle in July following. As a speaker and leader among men 
 he commanded an acknowledged position. He delighted in holding up the 
 Roman as one proud of his citizenship, the Spartan for exalted patriotism, 
 and Washington and associates as examples possessing like, and all the 
 added, qualities desirable for emulation. On civic and national celebrations 
 he exalted these deeds and virtues. As a result, some one facetiously 
 remarked upon a grand fete day, " Make way for Greece, Rome, and 1776 
 — three guns ! " 
 
 The establishment of schools in our own and neighboring counties gave 
 him great satisfaction. Lowville Academy, Belleville Union Academy, and 
 Watertown Institute received their stimulus from his encouraging patronage 
 and princely gifts for those days. 
 
 Commercially Mr. Camp engaged with associates in building the steamer 
 Ontario in 1816, which was the first built upon any lake, to "test the possi- 
 bility of a boat being propelled against waves." Success led to the building 
 of steam and other craft, which secured an active commerce, 'that made 
 Sackets Harbor for many years a place of note. 
 
 The want of water-power for manufacturing purposes was taken into 
 serious consideration by the citizens of Sackets Harbor in 1828. Mr. Camp 
 undertook the direction of constructing a canal from Black River, above 
 Watertown, which was completed in 1832. He gave his untiring energies to 
 this work, proving his faith in the enterprise by creating saw-mills, a paper, 
 plaster, and flouring-mill, and also a furnace and machine shop. About this 
 time the surplus waters of Black River were diverted at Boonville as a feeder 
 to the Erie Canal, causing all the outlay, individually and collectively, a fail- 
 ure. His extensive purchases of land here and abroad were sacrificed with 
 their largely increased value, to a considerable degree, in his endeavors to 
 advance the importance of this and neighboring localities. 
 
 The Presbyterian and Episcopal churches were built in the early stirring 
 times, in which Mr. Camp took a decided interest, accompanying his mate- 
 rial aid with official membership in each. His family were among the first 
 and prominent members of the Presbyterian Church ; Mr. Camp later on. 
 Nelson's work on infidelity established his belief in Christianity : to promul- 
 gate its views he purchased a complete edition and sent them out by the 
 hands of young men studying for the ministry, supplying horses and convey- 
 ance to expedite the work. 
 
 His marriage to Sophia Hale, of Catskill, was a most happy event. She

 was as lovely in character as in person. A large family blessed the union 
 
 six sons and four daughters, two sons dying in infancy. Elizabeth, lately de- 
 ceased, married Rev. Dr. J. R. Boyd, Geneva ; Sophia, Edgar Day, Catskill,. 
 N. Y.; Mary, Hamilton Spencer, Utica ; Harriette, F. F. Folger, Esq., Hud- 
 son, N. Y.; George, Elisha, Edgar, and Erskine married most estimable 
 ladies, who, with their families, survive them. Mr. Camp's military spirit was- 
 infused into his sons as a ruling force. George was educated to the law, 
 taking part in the war of the Rebellion. Elisha E. and Erskine M. reached 
 to captaincies in the U. S. A. Edgar entered into commercial and banking 
 enterprises before finding a home in the West. 
 
 PoHtically Mr. Camp sympathized with the early founders of the govern- 
 ment, of the Washington and Hamilton school. As a Whig he was foremost 
 in pressing the claims of his party, once running for Congress when the state 
 was too strongly Democratic to secure a seat. When the border war of 
 1838 disturbed our relations with Canada his influence was felt in quelling 
 the excitement on the frontier. Age and infirmities had stolen upon him 
 when the South began the war to dissolve the Union to which he had been 
 so devotedly attached. This aroused his indignation and old-time patriotism, 
 but the " old set," with whom he had celebrated our victories and national 
 achievements in the past, were all gone. He felt keenly the want of their 
 sympathizing presence, to fight their battles over again in words if not 
 in deeds. 
 
 At the time Vicksburg was besieged the writer, unseen, recognized his 
 stalwart figure as it was disclosed at momentary intervals by flashes of light- 
 ning, as he stood partially hidden by the foliage about his mansion. His 
 manner was as impressive and dignified as if standing to review the armies of 
 heaven. The storm beat upon us with blaze and report of fearful intensity, 
 to which a saddened yet commanding voice repUed, " Yes, God's artillery is 
 warring grandly with the elements, grandeur and subhmity attest His power, 
 but just now give me Grant's artillery to sweep this cursed rebellion and its 
 flag to perdition." 
 
 Colonel Elisha Camp, by which title he was famiHarly known, survived 
 Mrs. Camp only 12 days : September 13, 1866, aged 77 years; September 
 25, 1866, aged 80 years. 
 
 COLONEL WALTER B. CAMP. 
 
 Ge6rge Camp, father of the subject of this sketch, came to Sackets Har- 
 bor in the winter of 1816-17, and estabhshed the first printing office in 
 Sackets Harbor, issuing the first number of the Sackets Harbor Gazette in 
 March, 181 7. At this time his family consisted of Talcott Hale Camp, now 
 president of the Jefferson County National Bank, and George Hull Camp, an 
 extensive manufacturer, now a resident of Marietta, Ga. George Camp married 
 Elizabeth Hitchcock, a native of New Haven, Conn., who at the time of 
 their union was a resident of Utica. 
 
502 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 Walter Bicker Camp, the subject of this biography, was born in Sackets 
 Harbor, October r, 1822, and has remained a resident, through its changes and 
 vicissitudes, to the present time. Mr. Camp has always been loyal to the 
 " manor born," and it has been his ruling passion that the place of his nativity 
 might advance into importance, as its natural location and surroundings 
 seemed to justify, and in accordance with the spirit that inspired the founders 
 of the place. The commercial and military spirit in this locality was so 
 happily combined, and each of foremost importance, that Mr. Camp imbibed 
 its influence with the younger generation that stamped the earlier history of the 
 village, and he has not ceased in his endeavors to save, as far as possible, the 
 prestige of this historic locality. To that end all the enterprises that were 
 calculated to retain this place in its commercial and military consequence 
 obtained a large share of his time, means, and services. The building of the 
 first railroad here, which extended from Sackets Harbor to Pierrepont Manor, 
 enlisted his earnest endeavors, hoping for the successful accomplishment of 
 an enterprise that would retain the commercial importance hitherto enjoyed 
 at the port of Sackets Harbor. About $400,000 was spent in the construc- 
 tion of this road by the enterprising citizens of this town, Henderson, and 
 Ellisburgh, to which Mr. Camp was no mean contributor, and acted as cus- 
 todian and local director for two years, before the abolishment of the road, 
 effected largely by the unfriendly influences of the road with which it made 
 connection. That portion of his available means realized from the sale of the 
 road was donated by Mr, Camp to the Presbyterian Church Society, as a per- 
 petual fund for the purchase of books for the Sunday-school, and for repairs 
 of the church. 
 
 When the war of the Rebellion broke out Mr. Camp was chosen by Gov. 
 Morgan as the only one to whom he would intrust the management, direction, 
 and occupancy of the military depot, to be opened at Madison Barracks, 
 Sackets Harbor, and accordingly appointed him to that command, with the 
 rank of colonel, October 17, 1861. Mr. Camp considered the appointment, 
 though unsolicited, not only complimentary, but almost obligatory, and entered 
 upon his duties immediately, and in 24 hours one company had been 
 enrolled into the service, and in 18 days the 94th Regiment had per- 
 fected its organization. Gov. Morgan was very reluctant to open any more 
 depots, saying that it was a state of chaos as far as other organizations were 
 concerned, and feared serious results from the want of proper direction and 
 control of the improvised depots about the state. When the g4th moved 
 from camp, March 14, 1862, and reached Albany the following day. Gov. 
 Morgan called upon Col. Camp, who had accompanied the regiment thus far, 
 and complimented him by saying " he was proud of the 94th ; that it had given 
 them Uttle or no trouble during its organization ; was composed of splendid 
 material; was in magnificent form and discipline; had been recruited and 
 maintained at $20,000 less expense than any like regiment in the state ; and 
 instead of losing 20 or 30 men, it had gained two on leaving camp." 
 
TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD.

 The depot now being established, it became the active center for enlistments 
 and organization of regiments during the war. The loth N. Y. H. A. was 
 immediately after organized, and Col. Camp was appointed the town war 
 committee, and with Senator Bell, of Brownville, took the quotas of that 
 town and Hounsfield, and formed the company commanded by Capt. O. H. 
 Gilmore and Lieut. Flowers. 
 
 After the war General Sherman was disposed to break up the military post 
 here, there being no railroad for the effective transportation of troops. To meet 
 this objection measures were immediately taken to extend the Utica & Black 
 River Railroad to Sackets Harbor. Col. Camp was untiring in his efforts to 
 prevent the removal of the post, and to secure the completion of the road to 
 this village. Meetings were held on the line of the contemplated road, and 
 the towns along the route, with the hearty cooperation of their enterprising 
 •citizens, secured the campletion of the road in 1873. 
 
 During the occupancy of the barracks by Gen. Ayres the officers' quarters, 
 to the east of the commander's dwelling, were burned. General Sherman 
 was opposed to any outlay; but with the hearty cooperation of Congressman 
 Bagley Mr. Camp succeeded in getting an appropriation of $25,000 to re- 
 build. Unfavorable influences continued for years, until Gen. Grant was 
 seen by Col. Camp, with whom for a long time he had retained a most friendly 
 and intimate acquaintance. With his proffered and valuable services in pre- 
 senting to Gen. Sherman the desirability of retaining the military post there 
 came a marked change, and from that time Madison Barracks have received 
 the attention from the government the importance that its position demands. 
 On General Sherman arriving here with the 12th Regiment, under General 
 Willcox, he expressed himself captivated with the location. Since then Madi- 
 son Barracks have been progressing under command of General Willcox, of 
 the 1 2th U. S. Infantry, and more particularly since 1887, under the accom- 
 plished and gallant Col. Richard I. Dodge, nth U. S. Inf., to be one of the 
 finest and most complete military reservations in the service. In this matter 
 Col. Camp has been an interested mover and actor, and considers himself for- 
 tunate in having an acquaintance in the army and the navy, among many of 
 its most illustrious characters that have figured in the former and more recent 
 history of our wars, being related to Admiral Foote and Commodore Hitch- 
 cock on his mother's side, and upon the paternal side looks back to the first 
 and most conspicuous member of the Hale family, the descendants of whom 
 have marked the way by deeds of patriotism and valor, at which he has rea- 
 son to look upon with a degree of satisfaction. In May, 1885, he was unani- 
 mously elected, with title, associate member of the Military Service Institu- 
 tion on Governor's Island, of which Gen. Hancock was president. 
 
 Col. Camp followed the business established by his father after the latter 
 had disposed of his printing establishment in 1 821, continuing it after the 
 demise of his father, Mr. George Camp, in 1850, to 1884. In the mean time 
 
5°4 
 
 TOWN OF HOUNSFIELD. 
 
 Col. Camp traveled extensively upon the continent of Europe, and far and wide- 
 over our territory bounded by the different oceans. 
 
 In 1844 the family came into possession of the mansion and grounds for- 
 merly owned and occupied by Commodore Melancton Woolsey; and although 
 never married Col. Camp has, for the last 30 years, entertained with a re- 
 fined andgenerous hospitality. In 1879 he completed the erection of a 
 chapel, which was presented as a Christmas gift to the Presbyterian Society of 
 Sackets Harbor, with which he has been connected since his infancy, and for 
 which he had retained a most affectionate attachment. 
 
 He also was deeply interested in the organization of the Jefferson County 
 Historical Society, of which he is the first vice-president. In 1885 he suc- 
 ceeded in securing the old battle-ground, as executor of the estate of Elisha 
 Camp, from the heirs, as a gift to the Jefferson County Historical Society 
 and the village of Sackets Harbor, which was dedicated with imposing cere-

 Col. Camp has given much time and attention to the study of the aborigi- 
 nal history of the county of Jefferson, upon which subject he has written 
 some valuable papers, and has secured a choice collection of relics that char- 
 acterize the race that so fully occupied this locality and were extinct at the 
 time of the advent of the white race to these shores ; and which, too, has- 
 brought him in correspondence and friendly relationship with the Smith- 
 sonian Institute, and as correspondent of Oneida County Historical Society 
 is brought in contact with many distinguished men of like taste. Col. Camp 
 has an inherent and decided talent for music. In visiting his delightful home 
 we find it supplied with accessories to give it expression. With one favorite 
 instrument, however, he is better known in the refined circles, where he finds 
 enjoyment with them in the " concord of sweet sounds." He is a lover of 
 fine animals, and has his farm stocked with cattle of good pedigree. He has 
 been an ardent devotee of Nimrod and Isaak Walton, and finds pleasant 
 companionship in good horses, and with his friends he is happy to say : 
 " Whatever we possess is doubly valuable when we are so happy to share it 
 with others.''

 TOWN OF LE RAY. 
 
 LK RAY. 
 
 LE RAY received its name from James Le Ray de Chaumont, the pro- 
 prietor, and was formed trom Brownville, February i^, 1806. Ant- 
 werp was taken off in 1810, a part of Wilna in J813, and Philadelphia 
 and a part of Alexandria in 1821. It is an interior town, east of the center 
 of the county, and lies nearly in the form of an equilateral triangle, of which 
 the western boundary is a north and south line, against the towns of Orleans 
 and Pamelia, the northeast side joining Theresa and Philadelphia, and the 
 southeast border being formed partially by Wilna, but principally by the 
 Black River, which is its main water course. The next stream in size is. 
 Indian River, which enters from Philadelphia, flows in a southwesterly course 
 to within one mile of Evans Mills, then turns sharply towards the north and 
 returns to Philadelphia, after a meander of nearly five miles in Le Ray. 
 Pleasant Creek, rising in the southeast, turns the mill-wheels at Le Raysville, 
 Slocumville, Churchill's, Henry's, and Evans Mills, then, having received 
 the waters of West Creek, passes on towards Indian River, which it joins 
 at the point where the latter turns its course northward. Gardner's Creek 
 falls into the Indian River from the eastward, above the bend. Several very 
 small streams take their rise in the northwest, and flow thence through Pa- 
 melia into Perch Lake. The surface of the town is level or gently rolling, 
 and the soil is principally a clayey loam. A strip of barren sand, known as 
 the "pine plains," once' covered with pine, extends along Black River into 
 Wilna. 
 
 A small part of Le Ray was included in the Chassanis tract, its north line 
 running from Great Bend, north 87° west, and being also the south line of 
 Le Ray's purchase, which embraced four-fifths of the present town. 
 
 The first town meeting was held March 3, 1807, at the house of Abiel 
 Shurtleff, and at this meeting the following were elected to manage the 
 municipal affairs of the town : James Shurtleff, supervisor; Thomas Ward, 
 town clerk ; Ruel Kimball, John B. Bossuot, and Richardson Avery, asses- 
 sors ; Daniel Child, Daniel Sterling, and Lyman Holbrook, commissioners 
 of highways ; and Thomas Thurston, constable and collector. 
 
 In 1807, at the town meeting, it was voted $5 bounty for all wolves caught 
 or killed in town. In 1808 this bounty was reduced to $2.50, and in 1809 
 raised to $5, and to $10 in 1810, and in this year a bounty of 50 cents ahead 
 was voted on foxes and one cent a head on squirrels. In 181 1 the bounty 
 on squirrels was raised to three cents. 
 
 The first action taken by the town for educational purposes was at a 
 special town meeting, June 6, 1813, held for the "choice of one school com-

 miltee and one school inspector." Ruel Kimball had one vote for commit- 
 tee, and Thomas Ward three votes and was elected. Ralph Huntington was 
 chosen inspector. 
 
 The first 13 roads surveyed after the town was set off from Brown ville were 
 surveyed by Cadwallader Child, who had already surveyed roads in Brown- 
 ville, which comprised all north of Black River. The fourteenth and seven- 
 teenth roads were surveyed by Musgrove Evans. " Road No. i, surveyed by 
 Cadwallader Child, April 15-16, 1806, from Ethni Evans's to the road lead- 
 ing from Benjamin Brown's to the bridge at the bend of Black River, * * * 
 three miles, 309 rods." "Road No. 2, surveyed May 5, 1806, from the 
 bridge of the bend of Black River to Elizabethtown [Philadelphia], * * * 
 eight miles, five furlongs, and 24 rods." 
 
 From Spafford's Gazetteer of 1813 we quote: — 
 
 "In 18U-12 there were in this town, in the vicinity of Evans Mills and Le Eaysville, 
 several saw-mills, a grain-mill, carding macliine, two store-houses, and two school-houses." 
 
 The same author in 1824 says: — 
 
 "In 1821 there were two small villages, or hamlets, Le Saysville, where is the postoffice, 
 containing 20 houses, a store, tavern, school-house, grist-miU, and saw-mill, and that called 
 Evans Mills, containing 25 houses, two stores, two taverns, a grist-miU and saw-miU, a tannery, 
 a clothier's works, distillery, and school-house." 
 
 In 1880 Le Ray had a population of 2,660. The town is located in the 
 second school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 18 school dis- 
 tricts, in which 20 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. There were 
 476 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance during the 
 year was 41,651. The total value of school buildings and sites was $6,640, 
 while the assessed valuation of all the districts was $1,468,588. The whole 
 amount raised for school purposes was $4,186.78 of which $2,165.16 was 
 received by local tax. Truman C. Gray was school commissioner. 
 
 Evans Mills is a pleasant post village situated near the center of the town, 
 at the confluence of West and Pleasant creeks, one mile south of the point 
 where their united waters fall into Indian River. It is also a station on the 
 R., W. & O. Railroad, distant from Watertown 11 miles, 192 from Albany, 
 and 334 from New York. The village now contains telegraph, telephone, 
 and American express offices, seven general stores, two hotels, a tin store, 
 two hardware stores, drug store, shoe shop, four blacksmith shops, a cheese 
 factory, one grist and saw-mill, a printing office, harness shop, several dress- 
 making establishments, a millinery store, a restaurant, and about 500 inhabi- 
 tants. The village received its name from Ethni Evans, who came to Jeffer- 
 son County in 1802, from Hinsdale, N. H., first locating in Brownville, 
 where he was employed by Jacob Brown. He became acquainted with the 
 water-power on Pleasant Creek at this point, and, being himself a millwright, 
 he purchased a tract of land on both sides of the stream for the purpose of 
 erecting mills upon it. The tract contained 192 acres, and embraced the 
 present site of the village. The price paid was $3 per acre, and the date of

 purchase July 9, 1804. Mr. Evans at once made a clearing, built a log 
 house, and commenced the construction of a dam. The mills were built and 
 •completed during the years 1805 and 1806. About 1808 a store and public 
 house were opened by Jenison Clark, in a frame building which stood on the 
 ■corner of Main and Noble streets, where the Brick Hotel now is. The latter 
 was opened in 1827, and is now occupied by Peter Farmer. The letters 
 " J. H." on the front of the block signify that it was erected by Capt. John 
 Hoover. In June, 1812, the inhabitants of this village commenced the erec- 
 tion of a block-house to serve as a general shelter and defense against the 
 attacks from the Indians, which they thought probable. It was located across 
 the road from the present Railroad House. The alarm subsided before the 
 body of the house was finished, and it was never used. The first cemetery 
 here was given to the public by Ethni Evans. The present Main street, 
 when it was laid out, cut the old graveyard in two. The remains of the south- 
 eastern part were removed to the opposite side. Subsequently they were 
 transferred to the present old cemetery. A few years ago a number of prom- 
 inent citizens purchased another tract of land adjoining the old burying- 
 ground, have laid it out into lots, and have given it the name of Maple Grove 
 Cemetery. 
 
 Evans Mills became an incorporated village in 1874, the incorporation be- 
 ing ratified by a vote of 54 to 49, at a legal meeting held September 7 in 
 that year. The territory embraced in the corporation was 7 20. 44 acres. A. M. 
 Cook was elected president of the corporation, and George Ivers, B. M. 
 Strong, and Bowen Root, trustees. The last named declined to serve and 
 William M. Reese was appointed in his place. But notwithstanding that the 
 incorporation was legally accomplished, and the officers properly elected and 
 ■qualified, the organization never went into effect. An adverse feeling sprung 
 up, a new meeting was called at which the vote of ratification was rescinded, 
 and the village was shorn of the dignity of incorporation, in which condition 
 it has since remained. The advent of the railroad, in 1854, increased the 
 commercial importance of the village by furnishing means of transportation 
 for the products of the agricultural district surrounding. The postoffice was 
 estabhshed here in 1824. The first postmaster was William Palmer, who 
 kept the office at his store in the old tavern building of Jenison Clark, In 
 1846 the name of the office was changed to Evansville, but five years later 
 the original name of Evans Mills was restored. The first physician in the 
 village was Dr. Ira Smith, who continued in practice here many years after 
 1822. Since the commencement of Evans Mills there have been located here 
 a fulling-mill, clothiery, tannery, one or two potasheries, about the same num- 
 ber of distilleries, a spinning-wheel manufactory, and several other enterprises 
 which have been discontinued. It is accounted one of the enterprising vil- 
 lages of Jefferson County. 
 
 Le Raysville (p. o.) is a small hamlet in the southeastern part of the 
 town. It contains a store, blacksmith shop, shoe shop, a Friends meeting-

 ^ouse, and about 20 or 30 dwellings. The first settlement was made here in 
 1801 by Benjamin Brown, a brother of Gen. Jacob Brown. Mr. Brown 
 «erected mills on Pleasant Creek, across which he constructed a dam. He 
 spent the winter of 1801-02 in Brownville with his brother, and in the spring 
 returned to his purchase, where he erected a log cabin, in which, in the July 
 ■following, he established his newly-made bride, the first white woman to set 
 foot in the present town of Le Ray. Four years after Brown settled here 
 Dr. Baudry, a Frenchman, who had been sent by James Le Ray, the pro- 
 prietor, to choose a location for his residence and land office, arrived here, 
 and, after visiting several localities, decided upon this as the most desirable 
 •one for the grand manor-house, for the erection of which he immediately com- 
 menced preparations. The lumber was sawed at Brown's mill, and early 
 in 1807 the frame was made ready and raised under the superintendence of 
 Ethhi Evans. Mr. Le Ray came in 1808 and took possession of the house, 
 although it was not yet finished. The site of the mansion was half a mile 
 •southwest from Brown's, on an eminence overlooking the village. In 1825 
 this structure was demolished to make room for a more elegant and luxuri- 
 ous one. It was built of stone and smoothly plastered upon the outside. 
 The main building was built with about 60 feet front, and nearly or quite the 
 •same depth. Attached to this was a wing, large enough for a mansion in 
 itself. A lofty portico on the southerly front was supported by four massive 
 ■columns. Internally the finish was of the best. The mansion was completed 
 in 1827, and at that time was said to be the most splendid establishment 
 west of the Hudson. In this mansion Le Ray lived and dispensed a refined 
 •hospitality for a period of five years before his return to France in 1832. In 
 1836 he again visited America and spent a few months in Le Raysville, finally 
 returning to France, where he died in 1840, aged 80 years. 
 
 In 1840 the mansion was purchased by Jules Rene Payen, who came to 
 this country from Paris, where he had been a student in the Polytechnic 
 School. Becoming interested in chemistry, and having discovered a process 
 by which gunpowder could be manufactured in a less expensive than the 
 •ordinary way, he came to this country, and finding the former home of Mr. 
 Le Ray a suitable place for such a manufactory, purchased it with that intent, 
 'but soon abandoned his experiments for a less hazardous occupation. The 
 place is now owned by his daughter, Mrs. Julia Phelps, and is occupied by 
 herself and family. The interior is in perfect order and preservation, having 
 'had many thousand dollars expended upon it by Mrs. Phelps. The only 
 •sign of decay upon the exterior is where the plaster has become detached. 
 The mansion contains many beautiful pieces of furniture, once the property 
 ■of Mr. Le Ray, among them an old music box the size of a large trunk, very 
 ancient and curious ; two beautiful clocks, with mantle ornaments ; a hand- 
 some and unique table ; a writing desk of brass and mahogany; several bed- 
 ■steads and dressing cases, and many other articles. No pleasanter time could

 Phelps. One can enjoy a sail upon the beautiful, artificial lake, upon whose- 
 sunny surface float several St. Lawrence River boats. The land office, chapel,, 
 and greenhouses are in ruins ; the extensive parks, wild and beautiful, are 
 filled with roses and other flowers, which were planted during the occupancy 
 of James Le Ray de Chaumont. 
 
 The first public house in Le Raysville was opened in 1810. The first 
 store was opened by Mr. Le Ray, and was conducted for the proprietor by 
 Mr. Devereaux. The first physician of the village, and also the first to locate 
 in the town, was Dr. Horatio Orvis, who settled here in 1808, and continued 
 in practice a great many years. The postoffice was established in the spring; 
 of 1 818, upon the first opening of the mail route from Denmark to Wilna,. 
 via this village. Samuel C. Kanady was the first postmaster, and held the- 
 office until his death in 1835. 
 
 One mile north of Le Raysville, on Pleasant Creek, is a locality known as- 
 Slocumville.. Settlement was commenced here in 1819 by one Desjardines,. 
 whom Le Ray had sent from France for the purpose of erecting a powder- 
 mill. This enterprise was short-lived, as the powder produced was of an^ 
 inferior quality. A grist-mill was also built here about the same time, and'; 
 was said to have contained the first burr- stones brought to Le Ray, they 
 having been sent from France for this especial purpose. The first miller 
 was a Frenchman named Bidrot. A brick house was erected here, one of 
 the first dwellings of that material in Jefferson County. The powder-mill was. 
 subsequently converted into a potato-starch manufactory. 
 
 Black River is a post village located in the towns of Le Ray and Rut- 
 land, being divided by Black River, which is spanned at this point by a fine 
 iron bridge, built in 1875. The Le Ray portion of this village was embraced 
 in a tract of 150 acres purchased about 1828 by Christopher Poor, from Alex- 
 ander Le Ray, as agent for the Chassanis tract; this purchase covering all the 
 water-power of the north side, which was Mr. Poor's chief inducement in. 
 making the selection of this spot. He had been an early settler in Rutland,, 
 whence he removed to his new purchase in Le Ray on Christmas day, 1829. 
 During the preceding summer he had, with some assistance from other resi- 
 dents of the place, built the first bridge across the river at the point where it is- 
 crossed by the present iron bridge. The first grist-mill was built about 1836 
 by A. Horton, a little distance above the bridge. It became the property of 
 Christopher and Peter Poor, and was destroyed by fire about 1842-43. The 
 first saw-mill was built at the time of the construction of the dam in 1831,, 
 and was destroyed by fire at the time the grist-mill was burned. A second' 
 mill was built a short distance below the first, and was also destroyed with 
 the grist-mill. It was rebuilt, and was carried away by the flood which de- 
 stroyed the first iron bridge. In 1848 a planing-mill and wood-working shop- 
 was erected, which was afterwards converted into a chair factory, and still' 
 later into a box factory. A machine shop, located upon the lower side of 
 the iron bridge, was carried on for several years by Isaac and Joseph Howe^

 ■who sold to Thomas Mathews, who used the building as a joiner's shop. It 
 was subsequently used as a store-house. The first merchant on the Le Ray 
 side of the village was Robert H. Van Shoick, who opened a store on the 
 western side of the main street about 1832. The building afterwards became 
 the property of P. Thurston, who converted it into a hotel, about 1848, the 
 first public house in the village. S. L. Mott opened a store here in 1852, 
 which became the property of Matthew Poor in 1866. The village is a 
 -station on the Utica division of the R., W. & O. Railroad, which follows the 
 course of Black River through the town of Rutland. It has telephone, tele- 
 graph, and express offices, one church, a newspaper, three general stores, one 
 hardware store, a flour and feed store, two hotels, a pulp-mill, two chair man- 
 ufactories, a steam planing-mill, several, shops, about 80 dwellings, and a 
 population of 400. It is a thriving village and is growing rapidly. 
 
 January 20, i8go, it was decided by a vote of 44 to- 27 to incorporate the 
 village. Since then those opposed to the scheme have not been idle in their 
 efforts to defeat the project, and the incorporation is not yet completed. 
 Judge McCartin has recently decided that the meeting of January 20 was 
 illegal and void. On February 20, 1890, the village was visited by a most 
 disastrous fire, in which $50,000 worth of property was destroyed, including 
 "the following buildings: Poor's opera house and block, Parkinson's store, 
 Whipple & Hadsell's store, postoffice, Arthur House, F. H. Dillenbeck's 
 block, two dwellings, D. H. Scott & Son's block, A. W. McDowell's store, 
 John Burke's dwelling, and George Graham's barbershop. John Hall, N. L. 
 Martin, Charles Lyon, George Lyon, C. H. Burke, G. E. Sheldon^ and John 
 Burke lost their household goods. Odd Fellows hall was also destroyed. 
 The fire was stopped by the use of the pulp-mill pump and hose, which saved 
 the Black River Bending Company's factory. The Jefferson House was 
 saved with difficulty. Watertown was appealed to for aid, but before the 
 -firemen started word was sent that the flames had been checked. 
 
 Sanford's Corners is a postoffice and station on the R, W. & O. Railroad, 
 in the southwestern part of the town, about five miles from Watertown. It 
 contains a church, store, large cheese factory, several shops, and about 50 
 inhabitants. The first settlement was commenced here in 1804, by Roswell 
 Woodruff. The hamlet has been known as '' Jewett's Corners," " Jewett's 
 School- House," and " Capt. Jewett's," from Ezekiel Jewett, who purchased 
 the farm of Mr. WoodruiT, and became, in that particular, his successor. Mr. 
 Sanford, in whose honor the place was named, erected here a stone building, 
 with the intention of opening a store, but this was never done. The post- 
 -office was established in 1828, and was kept in a brick tavern, which was 
 afterwards used as a Limburger cheese factory. This hamlet claims the honor 
 of having the first school-house in the town of Le Ray. 
 
 F.X. Baumerfs cheese factory, at Sanford's Corners, was established in 
 1853. Previous to this date there had been several unsuccessful attempts to 
 manufacture Limburger cheese here. In this year Mr. Baumert did a small 
 
526 TOWN OF LE RAY. 
 
 experimental business, which proved unsatisfactory. In 1854 he continued 
 the work with better results. At this time, it is said, this was the only Lim- 
 burger cheese factory in the United States. His business gradually increased,, 
 until during the late war he had three factories in operation in this vicinity. 
 In 1882 F. X. Baumert died, leaving his vast business interests in the hands- 
 of his widow, at the time of his death having 10 factories in successful opera- 
 tion in various localities. After her husband's death Mrs. Baumert, with the- 
 assistance of her sons, extended the business. She sent her son Charles to 
 Europe, in 1883, to be instructed in the various methods of manufacturing 
 European cheese, and he is now master of the art of making 22 kinds of" 
 cheese. A large brick factory, 105 by 34 feet, three stories high, has recently 
 been erected at Sanford's Corners, where the greater part of this extensive 
 business is now located. They now manufacture here various kinds of cheese,, 
 among which are Limburger, Munster, Fromage de Brie, Fromage DTsigny, 
 Camembert, Livarot, and double Creme de Suisse. An office for the sale of 
 their cheese is in New York city, where the principal portion of the products 
 of their factories is disposed of, some kinds at the extravagant price of 45. 
 cents per pound. Mrs. Baumert has six sons, all of whom have an interest 
 in the business, which is conducted under the name of F. X. Baumert, the 
 founder of the first Limburger cheese factory in Jefferson County, and per- 
 haps the first in America. 
 
 Black River Bending Company, located at Black River village, was started' 
 in i860 as a manufactory of bent chair stock, which in 1885 was merged in 
 the present concern. In 1889 the works were enlarged by the addition of a. 
 building 130 by 30 feet, four stories high, in which a large business is con- 
 ducted, giving employment to from 50 to 60 men. 
 
 The Wolcott Company (incorporated), at Black River village, was organ- 
 ized in 1889, with E. R. Wolcott, president ; A. E. Cory, secretary and' 
 treasurer ; and G. H. Wolcott, supermtendent. They do a general business^ 
 in building, and are dealers in lumber, sash, doors, blinds, etc. They employ 
 10 men and do a busines of $16,000 annually. 
 
 As has been previously stated the first permanent settler in the wilderness- 
 now comprised within the limits of the town of Le Ray was Benjamin Brown, 
 who first visited the town in the autumn of 1801. In 1803 and 1804 several 
 other hardy pioneers arrived. Among those in 1803 were Joseph Child, with 
 his three sons, Daniel, Samuel, and Moses, from Pennsylvania, Thomas Ward, 
 Daniel Coffeen, John Petty, and Robert Sixbury. The Childs settled in the 
 southwestern part of the town, in the neighborhood which still bears their 
 name, and Ward located between Le Raysville and Evans Mills. Coffeen 
 settled a mile southeast of Evans Mills, but the next year removed to near 
 Sterlingville. Sixbury was one of the surveying party who, in 1804, accom- 
 panied Cadwallader Child to Alexandria Bay, and thence back to Great 
 Bend. In the same year he, with John Hoover, of Herkimer County, pur- 
 chased the improvement of D. Coffeen, when the latter moved to Philadel- 
 
TOWN OF LE RAY. 527 
 
 phia. Sixbury afterwards settled on a farm two miles north of Evans Mills, 
 where he spent a good portion of his long life. He became widely known 
 and famed as a skilled hunter, for which his iron constitution and great powers 
 of indurance eminently fitted him. He died in Le Ray in the fall of 1875, 
 having passed the extreme age of 112 years. John Petty removed to Phila- 
 delphia in 1804-05, being one of the first settlers in that town. 
 
 Guillaume Coupart, better known in Le Ray as William Cooper, or 
 "French Cooper," was one of the comers in 1803. He was born in Nor- 
 mandy, France, June 24, 1773, and about 20 years later fled from his native 
 country to escape conscription. He went to Newfoundland, was there taken 
 prisoner, and carried to Halifax, whence he escaped, and went to Connecticut, 
 where he remained for some time. In 1798 or '99 he located in Pamelia, 
 and in 1803 settled in Le Ray, west of the village of Le Raysville. He be- 
 came a large land-owner, and died here January 19, 1851. In 1804 Roswell 
 Woodruff settled at Sanford's Corners. He afterwards sold his property there- 
 and removed to New Hartford, Oneida County, where he died. Benjamin 
 Kirkbride also settled in 1804, about a mile southeast from Evans Mills. 
 
 The first general agent from abroad, sent by Mr. Le Ray to look after his 
 lands, was M. Pierre Joulin, the curk of Chaumont, in France, who was one 
 of the faithful few would not take the constitutional oath, and was sent to 
 America by Mr. Le Ray to save him from the guillotine, and to have a fair 
 prospect for providing the means for a comfortable subsistence. After the 
 troubles in France had subsided he returned. Moss Kent was early ap- 
 pointed to the agency of lands, and continued in that capacity several years, 
 living in Mr. Le Ray's family until the departure of that gentleman for 
 Europe in 1810, when he remained with his son Vincent. When Joulin first 
 met Kent they would have been unable to communicate had it not been that 
 both being classical scholars, they were enabled to converse in Latin. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The First Baptist Church of Le Ray, located at Evans Mills, was organized' 
 in i8ro by John McCumber, A. Robinson, C. Wilkie, and others, and at 
 the time of its organization consisted or 20 members. Their first pastor was 
 John Blodget. Their house of worship is a stone building, and was erected 
 in 1828 at a cost of $2,000. It will comfortably seat 300 persons, and is, 
 valued, including grounds and other church property, at $3,000. The church 
 now has 26 members, and A. B. Sears is the present pastor. The Sunday- 
 school has a membership of about 30. 
 
 The Free Methodist Church, located at Black River village, was organized 
 December 11, 1870, by R. C. H. Southworth, with five members. Charles^ 
 Southworth was the first pastor. Their house of worship, a wooden struct- 
 ure, was built in 1873, at a cost of $1,500. It will comfortably seat about 
 300 persons, and is valued, including grounds and other church property, at 
 
52i: 
 
 TOWN OF LE RAY. 
 
 $3,000. The present membership of the church is about 35, under the pas- 
 toral charge of Rev. Orville Frink. The Sunday-school has a membership 
 of 25 scholars and teachers. Before the church was fairly established it lost 
 by death two of its members who contributed largely to its support. It is 
 not in a flourishing condition financially, and is struggUng hard for existence. 
 
 Black River Baptist Church, located at Black River village, in the town 
 of Le Ray, was organized as a branch of the Watertown Baptist Church, 
 March 26, 1878, and as an independent church May 11, 1880. Its organiza- 
 tion was effected by Rev. James W. Putnam, the first pastor. In rSyS it had 
 15 members, and in 1880, 18, its present membership being 22. The present 
 pastor is F. H. Richardson, of Great Bend. The society has no house of 
 worship, but rents one with a capacity for seating 150 persons. 
 
 The Friends Society, at Le Raysville, was organized in 1805 by David 
 Rowland, Elihu Anthony, David Gardner, and others, and Joseph Child was 
 the first minister. The first house of worship was erected at Philadelphia 
 village, then a part of Le Ray, in 18 11, of wood. In 1816 a stone meeting- 
 house was erected on road 57, and the present structure, of wood, in 1876, 
 at Le Raysville, at a cost of about $2,000. It will comfortably seat 175 per- 
 ■sons, and is valued, including grounds and other church property, at $1,200. 
 Joseph Child, the first acknowledged minister of the Le Ray monthly meet- 
 ing, was a half-brother of Cadwallader, the grandfather of the publisher of 
 this work. The meeting was reorganized in 1876 by Stephen Roberts, 
 Jonathan Powell, Thomas Anthony, and others, and in 1885 the Le Ray 
 monthly meeting became a component part of the Canada yearly meeting, 
 having previous to that time been a part of the New York yearly meeting. 
 The present membership is about 30, and Sarah A. Wood is the minister. 
 
 Evans Mills monthly meeting of Friends had the same organization as the 
 Le Ray monthly meeting, about 1805, of which it was originally a part. 
 Their present meeting-house was erected in 18 16, of stone, at a cost of about 
 $500. It will comfortably seat 200 persons, and is now valued at about 
 $1,000. The present membership is about 45, and Warren Gardner and 
 Margaret Wilbur are ministers. Madison S. Gardner is superintendent of 
 the Sunday-school, which has a membership of 25. 
 
 St Andrew's Protestant Episcopal Church, located in the village of Evans 
 Mills, was organized in April, 1872, by Revs. Dr. Babcock, J. Winslow, and 
 H. V. Gardner, and at the time of its organization consisted of three com- 
 municants, the first rector being Rev. H. V. Gardner. Their house of 
 worship, a gothic structure of native blue and gray limestone, was built in 
 1880, at a cost of $4,000. It will comfortably seat 150 persons, and is 
 valued, including grounds, etc., at $5,000. This beautiful structure, with its 
 ivy-covered tower and beautiful interior, is the pride of the people, and a fit- 
 ting place in which to hold the impressive services of the church. The 
 parish numbers 34 communicants, and at present is without a rector, but one 
 will doubtless soon be engaged. The Sunday-school connected with the 
 church has six teachers and 30 scholars.

 The Methodist Episcopal Church at Evans Mills was organized Novem- 
 ber 20, 1824, the first trustees being Henry Churchill, Parker Chase, John 
 Y. Stewart, Daniel Smith, P. S. Stuart, James Ward, Wilson Pennock, Eli- 
 jah Smith, and William Taggart. Their first house of worship, a stone build- 
 ing, was located on the Le Raysville road, about two miles from Evans Mills. 
 This was sold, and in 1833 the present edifice was completed at a cost of 
 $3,000, on a lot in the village donated by Judge Evans. The present pastor 
 is Rev. Fred W. Thompson. 
 
 The Le Ray Presbyterian Church, at Evans Mills, was organized January 
 13, 1814, by Rev. Nathaniel Button, of Champion, with 12 members. Up 
 to 1820 there had been no stated minister, services being conducted by Dea. 
 Ruel Kimball, who afterwards studied for the ministry and became the first 
 regular pastor of the church. The first place of worship was at Ingerson's 
 Corners, subsequently in the frame school-house at Evans Mills, and still! 
 later in the stone school-house at Evans Mills, located where the present 
 school-house now stands. In 1826 a stone church was erected, which gave 
 place to the present structure in 1869, which cost $2,600. The present pas- 
 tor is Rev. John J. Jones. 
 
 LORENZO SAWYER. 
 
 Among the oldest and most respected members of the judiciary, in the 
 state of California, is Hon. Lorenzo Sawyer, United States circuit judge for 
 the ninth circuit. For the last 40 years he has occupied a prominent place 
 either at the bar or on the bench of his adopted state. He belongs to a 
 family of pioneers. Descended from English ancestors, who emigrated to 
 New England about 1636, each generation of whose descendants became 
 pioneers in the settlement of some new state further west, and himself 
 trained amid the hardships of pioneer life, he has developed a character as 
 firm and inflexible as the granites which environ his boyhood's home. Three 
 of his ancestors, Thomas Sawyer, John Prescott,* and Ralph Houghton, 
 were three of the first six successful and permanent settlers of the town of 
 Lancaster, Mass., in 1647 ; and three of .the first five Prudential Men of the 
 town on its organization, in 1653. They and their descendants took an 
 active part in all the Indian wars that followed ; in the French war, the war 
 of the Revolution (during the latter of which 19 Sawyers of the Lancaster 
 family are known to have been in active service), and in the War of 1812. 
 
 Lorenzo Sawyer was born on road in, in Le Ray, this county, May 23, 1820. 
 His father and grandfather were among the earliest of the pioneers, who, in 
 the first year of the present century, occupied the wilderness in that portion 
 of Northern New York then known as the Black River country, and scarcely 
 
 * John Prescott, father of Mary, wife of Thomas Sawyer, was the ancestor of Colonel 
 Prescott, who commanded the Americans at Bunker Hill, Judge William Prescott, and 
 William H. Prescott, the historian.

 more accessible at that day than was California at the time of its settlement. 
 His father, Jesse Sawyer, on February ii, 1819, married Elizabeth Goodell, 
 also of a pioneer family, and cousin of the celebrated missionaries, William 
 Goodell, of Constantinople, and Lucy Goodell Thurston, one of the first mis- 
 sionaries to the Sandwich Islands ; and they celebrated their golden wedding 
 at Belvidere, 111., February n, 1869. Lorenzo, the eldest of a family of six 
 children, was born and reared on a farm till 16 years of age, attending the 
 district school during winter, and working on the farm in summer. At an 
 early age he enjoyed the advantage of a well-selected public library, of which 
 he availed himself to the fullest extent compatible with his arduous daily 
 labors — his evenings, Sundays, and spare moments being largely devoted to 
 books. To this Ubrary, doubtless, is due the formation of those tastes which 
 ultimately determined his choice of a profession. At 15 he attended for a short 
 time a High school at Watertown, N. Y., called the Black River Institute. 
 The next year he removed with his father to Pennsylvania, where he assisted 
 in clearing up a new farm-. 
 
 Having years before, while accidentally present at an important trial at 
 Watertown, formed a determination to adopt the profession of law, which was 
 never afterwards abandoned, with the consent of his father, but without any 
 pecuniary aid, he at the age of 17 left home, and relying on his own resources 
 for support entered upon a more thorough course of education, preparatory 
 to commencing the study of law. The next eight years were devoted to 
 preparation for the bar, at first in New York, and afterwards in Ohio. During 
 this period he earned the means for defraying his expenses by teaching, at first 
 in district schools, and afterwards in academies and as tutor in college. 
 In 1840 he emigrated to Ohio, and pursued his studies, first at Western Re- 
 serve College, and afterwards at and near Columbus. Having completed his 
 preparatory studies he entered the law office of Hon. Gustavus Swan, the 
 ablest land lawyer of his day in Ohio. Judge Swan retiring soon after from 
 practice, he entered the office of Judge Noah H. Swayne, then one of Ohio's 
 most prominent lawyers, and now a distinguished justice of the Supreme 
 Court of the United States, under whose instruction he remained till he was 
 admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of Ohio, in May, 1846. He after- 
 wards went to Chicago, 111., where he passed a year in the office of the late 
 Senator McDougall, of California. Soon after this he entered into a law part- 
 nership with the late Lieutenant-Governor Holmes, at Jefferson, Wis., where 
 he was rapidly acquiring a lucrative practice for that region. 
 
 In the spring of 1850 Mr. Sawyer went to California, overland, with a com- 
 pany of energetic young men from Wisconsin, and arrived in California about 
 the middle of July, after an unprecedentedjy short trip of 72 days. He 
 wrote some very interesting sketches of the journey across the plains, which 
 were published in the Ohio Observer, and copied from it into several other 
 Western papers. They were used as a guide by many emigrants of the next 
 year. After working in the mines of El Dorado County for a short time

 he entered upon the practice of law in Sacramento, but in consequence of ill 
 
 health he was compelled to go to the mountains to recuperate. Accordingly 
 
 ^he opened a law office at Nevada City, in October of that year, his law library 
 
 consisting of ii volumes, which he had brought across the plains. With the 
 
 exception of a few months, from February to August, 185 1, passed in San 
 
 Francisco, during which time his office was twice burnt, he remained in 
 
 Nevada City till the autumn of 1853. All this time he enjoyed a lucrative 
 
 and successful practice, being employed on one side of every important case. 
 
 In the autumn of 1853 he returned to San Francisco, where he has ever since 
 
 Tesided, with the exception of a short absence in Illinois. In 1854 he was 
 
 elected city attorney for the city of San Francisco, and served one terra with 
 
 marked success, at a time when the interests of the city involved in litigation 
 
 were immense. In 1855 he was a candidate before the state convention of 
 
 his party for justice of the Supreme Court, against the chief justice whose 
 
 term was about to expire, and was defeated by only six votes. In the spring 
 
 of 1861 he entered into a law partnership with the late General C. H. S. 
 
 Williams, and in the winter of 1861-62 they determined to open a branch 
 
 office in Virginia, Nev. 
 
 Mr. Sawyer went to Virginia about the first of January, to open the office 
 and establish the business. While at Virginia, managing the affairs of the 
 ■firm at that office, Governor Stanford, of California, tendered him the ap- 
 pointment of city and county attorney of San Francisco. The appointment 
 having been declined. Governor Edward Stanley was afterwards appointed. 
 Soon after this Judge Alexander Campbell resigned his position as judge of 
 -the twelfth judicial district, embracmg the city and county of San Francisco 
 and county of San Mateo, whereupon the governor, by telegraph, tendered 
 the appointment to fill the vacancy to Mr. Sawyer, who was still at Virginia. 
 After consulting his family and friends by telegraph the appointment was 
 accepted, and Judge Sawyer on the next morning left for San Francisco, 
 -crossing the mountains on horseback, the roads through the deep snows of 
 that winter not having yet been opened for. vehicles. He arrived home on 
 Saturday night, and opened court in San Mateo County on the next Monday 
 ^morning, June 2, 1862. After holding the office several months the satisfac- 
 tion given was such that at the next election by the people he was unani- 
 mously chosen to the position for a full term of six years — both political 
 parties supportmg him. Upon the reorganization of the state courts, under 
 the amended constitution. Judge Sawyer was, in 1863, elected a justice of 
 the Supreme Court; and upon casting lots, as required by the constitution, 
 he drew the six years' term, during the last two years of which he was chief 
 justice. 
 
 While he was a member of the Supreme Court, all of whose justices are 
 justly noted for their ability, industry, and unremitting attention to business, 
 no one of them wrote more opinions or gave more attention to the details of 
 ihe business than Chief Justice Sawyer; and it may be added that the judg- 
 
532 TOWN OF LE RAY. 
 
 ments of none of the judges are characterized by greater ability or more 
 thoroughness and elaborateness of discussion than his. No other court in 
 the United States, or elsewhere, was ever called upon to deal with so many 
 novel, intricate, and difficult questions of law as the Supreme Court of Cali- 
 fornia; and none more promptly, ably, and satisfactorily adjudicated the ques- 
 tions presented. The decisions of the Supreme Court of California, rendered 
 while Judge Sawyer occupied a seat on the bench, stand as high in the older 
 states as those of any other state during the same period. They are often 
 cited with the highest terms of commendation by approved law writers, and by 
 the judges of other courts, state and national. A writer in the American Law- 
 Review, published at Boston, in noticing vol. XXXIII California Reports^ in 
 1868, says: " The history of California is a history of marvelous phenomena 
 and not the least is its jurisprudence. Less than 20 years ago the common 
 law was unknown on the Pacific coast ; and to-day we find the Supreme Court 
 of California holding it with a comprehensive grasp, and administering it with 
 an ability decidedly superior to that shown by the tribunals of many much 
 older communities." 
 
 It is not too much to say that Chief Justice Sawyer, by his industry, re- 
 search, learning, and ability, contributed his full share towards placing the 
 court in the elevated and enviable position which it occupied while he was a 
 member of that tribunal. In 1869 Congress passed an act to amend the 
 judicial system of the United States, by which the United States circuit 
 courts were reorganized — the appointment of a circuit judge for each of the 
 nine circuits being provided for. In December of that year, as the terra of 
 Chief Justice Sawyer was about to expire. President Grant nominated him 
 under said act to the position of United States circuit judge for the ninth 
 circuit, embracing all the Pacific states. The nomination having been con- 
 firmed by the Senate, Judge Sawyer, early in 1870, entered upon his duties as 
 circuit judge; and he has ever since, now more than 20 years, discharged the 
 highly important and arduous duties of that exalted position with energy,, 
 fidelity, and marked abihty, as well as acceptably to the people of the entire 
 circuit. The judgments of Judge Sawyer as United States circuit judge, 
 selected from his numerous decisions, and reported in the 14 volumes of 
 Sawyer's United States Courts Reports, and his decisions as a member of the 
 state Supreme Court, reported in the 15 volumes of California Reports, ixom^ 
 volumes XXIV to XXXVIII inclusive, it is confidently believed will be 
 found, upon critical examination, to compare not unfavorably with an equal 
 number of reported decisions rendered by any contemporary judge, state or 
 national. His reputation as an able and conscientious jurist has long since 
 ceased to be local, and become national. Recognizing and appreciating his^ 
 attainments and public services, Hamilton College, in 1877, conferred upon 
 Judge Sawyer the honorary degree of LL. D. 
 
 In politics Mr. Sawyer was from boyhood, till it ceased to exist, an ear- 
 nest member of the Whig party, and an ardent admirer and supporter of 
 
TOWN OF LE RAY. 533 
 
 Henry Clay, and of the other great statesmen of that party. Upon the dis- 
 ■solution of the Whig party he became one of the organizers of the Republi- 
 can party in Cahfornia, to which he has ever since steadfastly adhered. He 
 attended the Chicago convention of i860, though not as a delegate, and 
 from the first did all in his power to secure the nommation of Mr. Lincoln 
 for President. The character of Judge Sawyer is strongly marked. Stern 
 and inflexible in his public acts and relations, he is devoted to all that duty, 
 honor, and patriotism enjoin. He is, however, in private life, of the utmost 
 gentleness, kindness, and simplicity. With strong original powers, early de- 
 veloped by the stirring events of the pioneer life in which he was cast, he had 
 acquired a habit of self-reliance which well fitted him for the great struggle 
 in which the highest honors of his profession were destined to be achieved. 
 He aimed at the right always and at all events, according to his best con- 
 victions ; and if any questioned his judgment none could impeach his hon- 
 esty or sincerity. Of a long-lived family, and always temperate, regular, and 
 rigidly correct in all his habits, Judge Sawyer is still in robust health. His 
 mental faculties are at their best, and he bids fair to adorn the bench for 
 years to come. 
 
 In 1887 Senator Leland Stanford formed the noble design of devoting the 
 greater part of his immense wealth to the establishing of a great university 
 open to both sexes, and designed to promote in the best and most thorough 
 manner the cause of liberal, moral, and practical education. To effect this 
 he devoted an enormous estate, or several estates aggregating some 85,000 
 acres of the best and most improved land in Cahfornia, worth millions of 
 dollars, to founding and endowing the "Leland Stanford Junior University," 
 so named for his only son, who first suggested such a disposition of the im- 
 mense wealth to which he was heir. Senator Stanford selected 24 of the em- 
 inent men of the state to act as trustees. Justice Field, of the United States 
 Supreme Court, is one of these, as is also the subject of this sketch. At 
 their first meeting they conferred on Judge Sawyer the high honor of presi- 
 dent of the board, and at the laying of the corner-stone, May 14, 1887, he 
 made the address. From the vast resources at its command, and from the 
 broad, liberal, and enlightened views of its founders and trustees, it is confi- 
 dently expected that the Leland Stanford Junior University will eventually 
 become second to no institution in the land, or perhaps in the world. Judge 
 Sawyer's legal decisions are so carefully and intelligently made that they 
 almost invariably meet the approval of the higher court. His decision in 
 the famous Neagle-Terry affair of 1889 is still fresh in all minds. He has the 
 enviable reputation of unspotted integrity and great legal intelligence. In 
 Oscar T. Schuck's Bench and Bar of California are given many anecdotes 
 of thq Judge's legal practice, which the limited space here allotted forbids us 
 to relate.

 The first of the name of Burhans in this country, so far as can be ascertained, was Jacob 
 Burhans, who appears March 28, 1660, as a soldier in the Netherland service in the company 
 of his Noble Honor the Director General. December 7, 1660, he was one of the first organizers 
 of the Dutch Eeform Church at Wiltwyck, now Kingston, N. Y. November 21, 1661, he was 
 appointed collector of church rates and excise tax. In June, 1663, he had two houses burned 
 in the second Esopus war. April 28, 1660, he was elected schepen (judge) of the court at 
 Wiltwyck. He was a prominent man in all public duties until his death about 1676. 
 
 April 16, 1663, Jan Burhans and Bareut Burhans arrived in this country in the ship Bon- 
 tekor (spotted cow). No farther trace can be found of Bareut, but Jan married, in 1675, 
 Helena Trapliagen and reared a large family. He was also a magistrate, and was prominent 
 in public life. He was a member of the church and one of its principal supporters, acting as 
 elder for a number of years. He died in 1708.

 William Stewart was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in 1768, and when four years of age- 
 immigrated with his parents to America. In 1792 he married Caroline BiUson, of Albany, N. Y. , 
 and for many years lived in Cherry Valley, Otsego County. They had four sons and four 
 daughters, viz.: Nelly, David, William, Jr., Agnes, Matilda, Hannah, John, and Stephen 
 Yan Bensselaer. In 1811 they located in this county, in the town of Le Bay. William, Jr., 
 attended school winters and in the summer assisted in subduing the wilderness. He learned 
 the carpenters' trade and built several houses in the vicinity of Pamelia Four Corners. He 
 was twice married, first, to Susan Jenkins, who survived one year and eight months. For his 
 second wife he married Sarah E. Van Epps, in 1850, and by her had one son, Clarence J. He 
 died in 1862. Clarence J. was educated in the common schools, with the addition of a course 
 in an academy. When he attained his majority he took charge of the farm. At the age of 30 
 years he married Lillian, daughter of Boyal E. Crook, of Champion, and they now occupy the 
 old homestead near Pamelia Four Corners. 
 
 Elijah Corey was born in New Hampshire in 1795. In 1815, at the age of 20 years, he 
 came to this state and settled in the town of Le Bay, at Sanford's Corners, where he followed 
 his trade of blacksmith and horseshoer. At the age of 26 years he married Maria, daughter 
 of Hezekiah Clark, by whom he had nine children, all of whom attained mature years. Their 
 names were Sally C, Mary, Lydia, Nancy, Hannah, Netty C, Elijah, William, and James. 
 The latter was born on a farm on road 103, where he now resides. He acquired a good com- 
 mon school education, and worked on the farm with his father until he attained his majority. 
 He carried on the farm for his father until the latter's death in 1880. He married, in 1860, 
 Lizzie, daughter of John Layng, and they have had three sons, viz.: Sidney, Charles, and 
 Peleg, all of whom reside with their parents in this town, 
 
 James Murphy was born in Herkimer County, N. Y., where he married Mary Kizer, of 
 Little Falls, by whom he had 10 children, all boys, namely: Thomas, James, Levi, Barney, 
 Ephraim, Henry, Alexander and Lysander (twins), Benjamin, and Adam. About the year 
 1817 he moved his family to the town of Le Bay, and located about four miles from Evana 
 Mills. At this time the surrounding country was in its primitive state. Adam Murphy at- 
 tended school winters until he was 17 years of age. After this he worked on a farm by the 
 month until he attained the age of 23 years. He then married Pamelia J., daughter of Alfred 
 Vebber, of this town, by whom he has had eight children, namely: Augustus D., Alfreda V., 
 Alzada L., Bennett E., Sarah A., Erwin S., Prank J., and Lewis P. Of these children only 
 three are hving — Augustus D., Frank J., and Lewis P. Mr. Murphy is a carpenter and resides 
 at Evans MiUs. 
 
 The death of Mrs. Cyrus T. Huntington, at PameUa Four Corners, recalled many inci- 
 dents of the first settlement of Jefi'erson County. Mrs. Huntington was a daughter of Elijah 
 Graves, of East Haddam, Conn., where she was born July 8, 1805, the youngest of a family of 
 pine children, among whom were Hon. Joseph Graves, late of Butland, and Sterling Graves, 
 late of Antwerp, early settlers of this county from Westmoreland, Oneida County, to which 
 place their father had moved with his family in 1809. At the age of 15 years Miss Graves vis- 
 ited her sister, Mrs. Ambrose W. Huntington, at Hnntingtonville, and during her stay taught 
 three terms of school in the Bronson (now Fames) district, in Butland. At this visitation she 
 formed an acquaintance with Cyrus T. Huntington, which resulted in their marriage, July 7, 
 1824. Mr. Huntington was born in New Grantham, Cheshire County, N.H., March 15, 1801. His 
 father, WiUiam Huntington, sold his New England farm and moved his family— composed of 
 wife and seven children, of whom Cyrus T.was the youngest — to "Black Eiver country," and 
 located upon 200 acres of land, contracted by him the previous fall, on the 6th day of Jan- 
 uary, 1804. Mr. D. D. Taylor now owns and occupies a portion of the same farm, located in 
 the eastern part of Watertown, then known as " Woodruff Settlement," upon which he erected 
 the first frame dwelling in the " Settlement " in 1809, having built a barn in 1805. Here he 
 remained with his family until 1817, when he sold his farm to the late Colonel John Gotham, 
 for $3,000, and purchased 300 acres at the present village of Huntingtonville. Here he built 
 the dam across Black Biver, erected a saw-miU andscy the factory, and did an extensive lum- 
 ber biteiness the remainder of his active life. That he was a man of enterprise, liberality, and 
 public spirit will be inferred from the fact that he served as magistrate, first by virtue of ap- 
 pointment by Gov. Clinton, and subsequently by election, and as commissioner of highways 
 for a long series of years. In 1810 he subscribed and paid $50 for the erection of a school-house 
 
536 TOWN OF LE RAY. 
 
 in his district, donating tlie land upon which it was erected, and one acre of land nearly adjoin- 
 ing as a cemetery. In 1814 he paid ®500 towards the erection of the first cotton factory built 
 in Watertown. It was burned in 1869. He was an elder in what iij now the First Presby- 
 terian Church, lived after the strictest sect of his religion, and paid $200 towards the erection 
 of the first church edifice, built in the present city of Watertown, occupying grounds covered 
 by " The First Church " in 1820. He died May 11, 1842. It is worthy of mention that Mr.Hunt- 
 ington enlisted in the Army of the Revolution, in April, 1777, having served therein eight months 
 the previous year. He served three years, spending his last winter at Valley Forge, and re- 
 ceived his discharge in April, 1780. It would be inadvertent to omit the record of the fact 
 that Elijah Graves, father of Mrs. Cyrus T. Huntington, performed a like service to his coun- 
 try, and was discharged at the same date, although to each other entire strangers. Mrs. Hunt- 
 ington was of religious parentage, and was early taught to have a high regard for religious 
 observances. At an early stage in their married life Mr. and Mrs. Huntington united with 
 the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which they were active and devoted members for nearly 
 50 years. Mr. Huntington served as class-leader and superintendent of the Sunday-school at 
 Black Kiver, the place of their residence, for more than 30 years, which office he held at the 
 time of his death, October 16, 1885. A mechanic by intuition, his first effort to meet a 
 needed demand for separating clover seed from the hull or chafi', he erected a mill, in which 
 he inserted machinery for that purpose, of his own construction, also a turning lathe and tools 
 for the maniitaclure of grain cradles, to supersede the use of the sickle, upon the bank of 
 Fall Creek, upon land now owned by Nathan Staples, on the north side of State street, 
 where he prosecuted a lucrative business for a series of years. He next purchased the farm 
 now owned by T. C. Beecher, built the house now thereon, and continued to meet the de- 
 mand for his cradles iu this, Oswego, and St. Lawrence counties. Unable to accomplish his 
 object without increased motive power, he sold his farm, and in 1814 established his business 
 at Black River, owning a farm on the north side of the river. Mr. and Mrs. Huntington spent 
 €1 years, three months, and nine days of happy married life, celebrating their golden wedding 
 July 7, 1874, 57 children, relatives, and friends being present. They had five children, all of 
 whom reached maturity, and four survive them, .viz. : Henry G., a farmer near Black River in 
 this town; Dr. John W., of Mexico, Oswego County; Dr. Charles S., of Liverpool, Onondaga 
 County; and Eliza, wife of Madison Goulding, of Pamelia Pour Corners. Hiram C. was a vol- 
 unteer in the 94th Regiment at the commencement of the civil war, and fell at Fredericksburg, 
 December 13, 1862. 
 
 George Ten Eyck, from the Mohawk valley, was one of the early settlers of the town of 
 Philadelphia. He was a miller by trade, and when the grist-mill was built at Felt's Mills, in 
 1822. he removed to that place and took charge of the mill, and subsequently located at Black 
 River village, on the north side of the river, where his grandson, Charles Ten Eyck, now 
 resides. At this place he, with his son John L., had charge of Coburu & Hubbard's saw-miU. 
 He removed to Madison County, where he died. John L. Ten Eyck married Sally Stebbins, 
 and resided at Black River until his death in 1843. Of his two children, John M., horn in 
 1842, enUstediu Co. E, 14th Regt. N. Y. H. A., was taken prisoner June 17, 1864, in front of 
 Petersburg, was taken to Andersonville, and died there September 17, 1864. Charles, born in 
 1834, married Emily, daughter of Osborn Baker, of Le Ray, in 1861, and located at Black 
 River, where he has since resided. He has one son, John H. 
 
 Isaac H. Keller came to Evans Mills from Little Falls in 1824. He married Elizabeth 
 easier, and they had two daughters, Margaret and Barbara. Margaret married Ehas A. Wood, 
 of Lowville, and Barbara married Samuel T. Potter, and now resides in Omaha, Neb. 
 
 Isaac A. Wood, son of Elias, was born March 16, 1848. He married Eliza Llewellyn, by 
 whom he has two children, and is now a resident of Watertown. He is a dealer in Western 
 mortgages, and also a breeder and dealer in thoroughbred Ayrshire cattle. 
 
 Riley Whitney, who was born in Westminster, Vt,, in 1805, came to Le Ray in 1838. He 
 joined a company commanded by Capt. Daniel D. Heustis, took part in the Patriot war, and 
 was taken prisoner and sent to Van Diemen's Land in September, 1839. He sufeered severe 
 privations and was away from home 10 years. His son, Holland Whitney, now occupies the 
 old homestead in this town. 
 
 Henry Wilson was born in Williamstown, N. Y., January 29, 1813. When he was quite 
 young his parents removed to this town, where Henry leai-ned the millwright and carpenters'

 five children, three of whom died young, and two survive, viz. : Jiilia C. and James E. August 
 11, 1853, his first wife died, and in 1854 he married Mary J., daughter of Daniel Smith, and 
 they have three daughters and one son, viz.: Mary A. and Sarah A. (twins), Jennie E., and 
 'George A. The latter was born on road 49, in this town, in the house in wliich he now resides,

 •of 22 years married Estella L., daughter of David Honeywell, of Seneoa Falls, and they have 
 itwo sous, Henry Grant and Edward Everett. 
 
 Jeremiah Bacon was born in Herkimer County, and in 1823, at the age of 22 years, came 
 to this town and bought what is now linown as the Bonny farm. About the same time he 
 .married Chloe Pickett, of Spafford, by whom he had three sous and four daughters, of whom 
 Willard attended the common schools and worked on his father's farm until he was 21 years 
 •old. He then leased the farm for a term of years. He has been twice married, first, to Nancy 
 Watts, of Orleans, by whom he had one son, Clinton. For his second wife he married Mrs. 
 Jane Watts, of Herkimer County, who had one son, Wellington, by her first husband. They 
 ihave d. daughter, Ida C, and reside near the old homestead. 
 
 Otis Town was born in Watertown, December 8, 1801, and had the distinction of being 
 'the first male child, and tlie third child, born in the hamlet, now the fiourishing city of Water- 
 town, where he spent his boyhood days. He married, first, Pamelia Kussell, of Watertown, by 
 whom he had five sons and one daughter, viz.: Edwin, Lorenzo, Adeline, Orrin, John, and 
 Hiram. Orrin was killed by a runaway team when 14 years of age. Mrs. Otis Town died in 
 1842, and in 1844 he married Mary Ann, daughter of William Hart, of Le Bay, and they had 
 a son and a daughter, viz.: Martha Jane and Jerome. The latter is now conducting the farm, 
 -and Martha J. resides at home with her mother. Otis Towu died July 18, 1876, having resided 
 for 50 years in the vicinity of Black Kiver, on road 114. His second wife survives him at the 
 age of 74 years. 
 
 Asahel Horton came from Ehode Island, and located in the town of Watertown, on Fell 
 ■Creek, where he built a grist-mill, residing here until 1831 or '32, when he removed to Black 
 Eiver and built the first grist-mill at that place, which he conducted for 10 years, when he 
 ■sold out to Christopher Poor and removed to Ohio, where he died. Albert, the only survivor 
 ■of this family now living in Jefferson County, resides in the the town of Rutland, on road 6. 
 He married Eunice, daughter of Jay Worden, and is a chairmaker by trade. 
 
 John B. Bichet and Julia Moureaux came to this country from France, the former in 1828,

 TOWN OF LORRAINE. 
 
 LORRAINE. 
 
 LORRAINE was formed from Mexico, March 24, 1804, as Malta, which 
 was changed to the present name, April 6, 1808, on account of there 
 being another Malta in the state, in Saratoga County. When first 
 erected it included, besides its present limits, the town of Worth, which was 
 set off in 1848. It is the central town in the southern border of the county, 
 and is bounded on the north by Adams and Rodman, east by Worth, south 
 by Oswego County, and west by EUisburgh. The surface or the town is ele- 
 vated, and very much broken by hills and gorges. The soil is underlaid by 
 shales so finely developed that the term Lorrai7ie shales has been applied to 
 the formation. The layers of this rock are alternately soft and hard, so that 
 they yield with great facility to the disintegrating; agencies of frost, atmospheric 
 action, and running water of the streams which traverse the town. Deep and 
 immense gulfs or channels have been worn wherever these means of natural 
 drainage exist. These chasms are in most places impassable, and have 
 caused the town much inconvenience and great expense in the location of 
 roads, and the building of bridges, while some of them are invested with 
 tragic interest. Numerous accidents have happened to persons who have 
 attempted to cross some of the deeper ones, and the loss of animals from 
 falling over the steep and treacherous banks is frequently reported. Yet the 
 gulfs afford attractions', in their ever- changing beauty and quiet grandeur, 
 that will repay the labor of a visit. 
 
 All the streams of the town have romantic gorges, but the gulf on the 
 south branch of Sandy Creek is particularly impressive, and will convey a 
 fair idea of the nature and proportions of the many others in the town. "Its 
 depth varies from one to two hundred feet, and its breadth from four to ten 
 rods. The bottoms, and in many cases the sides, are overgrown with timber, 
 and the stream wanders alternately from right to left, affording, wherever it 
 washes the base, a cliff nearly vertical and of imposing grandeur. As the vis- 
 itor follows the sinuous channel, which the stream through a long lapse of ages 
 'has quietly wrought deep into the earth, the scenery constantly changes, af- 
 fording an endless succession of beauties.'' 
 
 The south branch of Big Sandy Creek traverses the northern part of the 
 town, having a western course, and with its tributaries affords good drainage 
 and some water-power, although the steepness of their banks generally pre- 
 vents this from being fully utilized. In the central and southern portions of 
 the town are Hull and Deer creeks, streams of moderate size, and flowing in 
 a northwesterly direction; while farther south are large brooks whose water- 
 power has been more or less improved. The soil generally is fertile, but is

 t)etter adapted to grazing than the culture of the cereals. In the northwest 
 •corner of the town the surface is nearly level, and here and along Sandy 
 Creek are some productive farms. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the house of John Alger, March 5, 
 1805, at which the following town officers were elected: Asa Brown, super- 
 visor; William Hosford, clerk ; Clark Allen, Ormond Butler, Warner Flowers, 
 assessors; O. Butler, constable and collector; William Hunter, C. Allen, 
 poormasters ; William Hosford, Michael Frost, Asa Sweet, commissioners 
 of highways ; William Lanfear, Joseph Case, Elijah Fox, fence viewers ; 
 James McKee, John Griswold, poundmasters. 
 
 From Spaffords Gazetteer of 181 3 we quote: — 
 
 " In 1810 the town contained three religious societies (Congregational, Baptist, andMetho- 
 •diat), six school-houses, two grist-mills, and four saw-mills. The houses were mostly of logs, 
 ^only about 30 being framed." 
 
 The same author in 1824 says: — 
 
 " In 1820 the town included Worth, and there were of improved land 3,156 acres, 1,288 
 ■cattle, 243 horses, and 2,356 sheep. There were two grist-mills, six saw-mills, one fulling-mill, 
 one carding machine, one distillery, and one ashery." 
 
 In 1880 Lorraine had a population of 1,435. The town is situated in the 
 first school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 13 school districts, 
 two of which were joint, in which 13 teachers were employed 28 weeks or 
 more. There were 366 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days at- 
 tendance during the year was 26,396. The total value of school buildings 
 ■and sites was $6,920, while the assessed valuation of all the districts was 
 $594,722. The whole amount raised for school purposes was $2,631.97, of 
 which $1,142.80 was received by local tax. S. Whitford Maxson was school 
 <;oramissioner. 
 
 Lorraine (p. o.) is a small village located at the confluence of Deer and 
 Hull creeks, near the center of the town, 18 miles from Watertown, 174 from 
 Albany, and 316 from New York. It has telephone and express offices, two 
 ■churches (Baptist and Congregational), three stores, a hotel, three blacksmith 
 shops, two saw-mills, a grist-mill, three cheese-box factories, a wagon shop, 
 Jiarness shop, and cheese factory. Caulkins & Grow do an extensive business in 
 packing eggs, and have handled as many as 1 70,000 dozens in a year. The vil- 
 lage has a population of about 200. Its location is romantic, amidst picturesque 
 scenery, which, with the medicinal springs near by, render the place a pleas- 
 ant resort for summer tourists in quest of health and quietude. The first 
 house in Lorraine village was erected in 1803, by John Alger. Others were 
 built a few years later, and the settlement acquired the name of '' Lorraine 
 Huddle," or " The Huddle," which appellation attached to it to some extent 
 for many years. It has always been the principal point in the town, and is 
 the ohly postoffice within its limits. The first store in the village was opened 
 by Aaron Brown about 1809, who afterwards associated with him Joel Brown. 
 About six years later John Caulkins and Alanson Russell opened a store,

 which was consumed by fire in 1825. John Alger was the first to open a 
 house of entertainment in the village, in 1803, and this was the first regular 
 hotel in the town, although McKee and Fox accommodated travelers as- 
 early as 1802, at their humble log cabin south of the present village, on the 
 State road. In 1807 Aaron Brown built a saw-mill at Lorraine village, and 
 in 1808 a grist-mill with two runs of stones. Ward Fox was the first black- 
 smith here, and a man named Curry was the first wheelwright. A fulling- 
 mill was erected by John Boyden in the gulf below the old Fox blacksmith 
 shop. It did such an extensive business that a new and larger shop was- 
 erected on Hull Creek. Boyden was succeeded by Sardis Abbey. About 
 1808 Aaron Brown built a distillery on Deer Creek, which was continued 
 about six or seven years. The postoffice was established here in 1806, and 
 Benjamin Gates was the first postmaster. Simeon Parkhurst was the mail' 
 carrier from Rome to points north. William Corruth was also one of the 
 early postmasters. The first physician to locate in the village was Dr. Isaac- 
 Weston. It is said he once prescribed blood-letting and calomel to a man 
 who had accidentally cut himself while chopping wood. 
 
 Waterville, in the eastern part of the town, on Hull Creek, is a small, 
 hamlet of a dozen houses. A chair factory was formerly carried on here by 
 L. Warner. At present its manufacturing interests are limited to a saw-mill,. 
 
 Allendale is a small hamlet in the western part of the town, on Sandy- 
 Creek, about two miles south of Adams village. It received its name in 
 honor of Gen. Clark Allen. A postoffice was estabUshed here in 1871, under 
 the name of Caulkins's Mills, with Lorenzo Reed as postmaster. I has since 
 been discontinued. About 1830 Martin Rice built a small factory here for 
 the spinning and weaving of flax. It proved unprofitable, and was discon- 
 tinued after about seven years. The proximity of Adams detracts from the- 
 business importance of this place. 
 
 George A. Fox s cheese factory, located on the State road, south of Lor- 
 raine village, was established in 1870. It has the patronage of 275 cows. 
 
 Grow Brothers cheese factory, located at Lorraine village, was established: 
 in 1882, and has the patronage of about 300 cows. 
 
 Erwin Pitkin's cheese factory, about three and one-half miles south of Lor- 
 raine village, has been in operation several years, and is doing a business 
 quite satisfactory to its numerous patrons. 
 
 Maple Grove cheese factory, about one and a half miles northeast of Lor- 
 raine village, owned and operated by E. M. Brown, receives a liberal 
 patronage. 
 
 Mr. Stone s cheese factory, near the southwest corner of the town, does- 
 quite an extensive business. 
 
 John Bridgeman's saw-mill, in the southwest part of the town, does a small-, 
 custom business. 
 
 H. D. Bartletfs saw-mill, located on road 37, on Deer Creek, does cus- 
 tom work.

 William N. Standish's lumber and shingle-mill, on Deer Creek, manufact- 
 ures about 300,000 feet of lumber and 200,000 shingles annually. 
 
 Abeel Wagoner's saw-mill and cheese-box factory is operated by both steam 
 and water-power. About 11,000 cheese-boxes are manufactured annually. 
 
 Caulkins &= Grow's egg-pickling establishment, at Lorraine village, has 
 been in operation several years. About 170,000 dozens eggs are handled 
 annually. 
 
 The Rural Cemetery Association of the village of Lorraine was formed 
 January 8, 1852, by John Boyden, Aaron Brown, John Bentley, Eben Brown, 
 Knapp Macumber, Joseph Grimshaw, Allen Pitkin, Lorenzo Reed, John 
 Hancock, Moses Brown, Elihu Gillet, Augustus L. Baker, Sardis Abbey, 
 Peter Hanson, Leonard A. Parker, Joel Buel, Luther Lanfear, and Parley 
 Brown. 'Tis here 
 
 " 'Neath yonder spreading elm, the yew tree's shade. 
 
 Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap, 
 Each in his narrow cell forever laid, 
 
 The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep." 
 
 The town of Lorraine was settled under the agency of Benjamin Wright, 
 and others ; for a long time the unsettled interests being owned by Hon. 
 William C. Pierrepont. On September i, 1806, there were 128 settlers in 
 the town who had either acquired titles to their lands or long terms in which 
 to pay for them. The practice of issuing certificates led to speculation in 
 these papers, which was strongly condemned by the original owners, who de- 
 sired actual settlers. In a journal kept by James Constable, under date of 
 August 10, 1805, appears the following : — 
 
 " Town No. 1 is settling very fast, and, indeed, all that part watered by Sandy Creek has 
 a name that brings settlers in great numbers. The practice of giving certificates to the people, 
 and allowing them a certain time after exploring to go for their families before they take con- 
 tracts for their lots, has been productive of speculation , and must not be continued. A Mr. 
 SaUsbury, who had formerly taken a contract, sold it to another, and bought, or procured, 
 one of these certificates, came to us, apparently to ask indulgence as to time of payment, but 
 really with a view to ascertain what our intentions were in respect to such instruments; when 
 ■we explained to him that they were given to assist the first real settlers, and by no means to be 
 transferable to second or tiiird parties, as that led to speculation upon the persons who ought 
 to have indulgence, not to the speculators, who profited to the disadvantage of both the pro- 
 prietors and the actual settlers. We, of course, would oppose all such attempts, and as 
 he has seen fit to change his situation from holding a contract under us to speculating in cer- 
 tificates, which he must know were intended only as an accommodation to the first parties, 
 we could not treat with him, since the indulgence intended for them could not be transferred. 
 Upon conversation with Mr. Wright we found that the certificates had already occasioned 
 some mischief, and we discovered from the others that some of the holders of them had caused 
 it to be believed that all the best part of the town was taken up, so that new comers were 
 obliged to apply to them or go to some other town. Mr. Wright had no books or accounts 
 here, but supposed that one-half of the town was sold, either by contract or by conditional 
 agreement, and would average $3, though the sales were begun, *,nd a good deal sold, at $ . 
 Thelowest price was now $3, and it might at once be raised to $4 for the whole, from the great 
 immigration to this quarter. He gave it as his opinion that it would not be for our interest 
 to hurry sales, as this town would speedily settle, and the price might be raised." 
 
546 TOWN OF LORRAINE. 
 
 James McKee and Elijah Fox, brothers-in-law, the latter unmarried, were 
 the first permanent settlers in this town. They came on in November, i8oz, 
 and took up a lot of 50 acres on the State road south of the present village of 
 Lorraine. Here they erected a log cabin, in which they passed the winter. 
 Fox subsequently disposing of his interest in the lot to McKee. In this rude 
 cabin the early land-hunter found entertainment until the regular inn of John 
 Alger was opened at the present village. Mr. Fox returned to Oneida 
 County and married, and in the spring came back and purchased the tract of 
 land now occupied by his son George A., where he soon after erected a house. 
 During the winter and spring of 1803 a number of families from Herkimer 
 County settled along the State road from Rome to Brownville, in the neigh- 
 borhood of McKee and Fox. Among the best known of these were Com- 
 fort Stancliflf, Seth Cutler, Benjamin Gates, and John Alger. The latter, as 
 has been previously mentioned, built the first house on the site of Lorraine 
 village. Several months later, the same year, 1803, Clark Allen, a native of 
 Connecticut, took up his abode in the northwestern part of the town, on 
 Sandy Creek, on land still occupied by his descendants. Mr. .A.llen, from his 
 service in the War of 181 2, was known as General Allen. He was a man of 
 more than ordinary ability, and served this town as supervisor for nearly 20 
 years. 
 
 Isaac and William Lanfear, from Columbia County, and Asa and Aaron 
 Brown, the last two named not being related to each other, came in about 
 the same time, in 1804. Asa Brown was the first supervisor of Lorraine, but 
 removed from the town several years after. Aaron Brown married Betsey 
 Burbee, who had come to the town as a school teacher, and many of their 
 descendants still reside here. Miss Burbee taught the first school in town, in 
 1807, in a log house erected for this purpose near where the Baptist Church 
 now stands in Lorraine village. The principal settlers of the town prior to 
 1810, in addition to those already mentioned, were William Hosford, Ormond 
 Butler, William Hunter, Asa Sweet, John Griswold, Calvin Clifford, James 
 Perry, Elnathan Doane, Ebenezer Brown, Ozias Barton, Allen Pitkin, 
 Michael Risley, Thomas Stanchff, Allen Hills, Oliver Miller, Henry Voners, 
 David Steadraan, Nathan Gould, Charles Thompson, Hubbard Randall, John 
 Cowles, Isaac Weston, Abner Baker, Timothy Heath, George Sampson, John 
 Brewer, Joseph Studly, and William Adams. Most of these cleared their 
 farms and made permanent improvements. Michael Risley and Allen Pitkin, 
 brothers-in-law, started a tavern on the old State road. This was the second 
 regular inn in the town. It was only conducted for a few years. Dr. Isaac 
 Weston erected a hotel in 1807, in Lorraine village. It was a large structure 
 for those times, being two stories high, and became a popular place in which 
 to hold dances, and many a rustic's heart has quickened with the thought of 
 taking his " best girl " to a New Year's ball, held in this favorite hostelry. 
 The building was demolished in 1850, the Doctor having several years pre- 
 viously removed to Watertown. Another old-time tavern, about two miles 
 
TOWN OF LORRAINE 547 
 
 south of the village, on the State road, was opened about 1816, by David 
 Webb. Elisha Allen, Sr., kept an hotel in the western part of the town for 
 about 40 years. 
 
 The first saw-mill in the town of Lorraine was built in 1804, on Sandy 
 Creek, in the western part of the town, by a Mr. Frost, but a freshet swept 
 both mill and dam away before the builder had realized anything from his 
 labors. In 1810 Mabb and Aldrich erected a mill on the same site, which 
 subsequently became the property of Clark Allen. This was burned, but was 
 rebuilt by Mr. Allen and operated by him until 1820, when he sold to Jared 
 and Asa Gleason, who erected a grist-mill here. The first grist-mill in town 
 was built in 1805, on Hull Creek, a short distance from the village, by Seth 
 Cutler. It had an existence of about 10 years. Thomas Stancliff also built 
 a saw-mill on the same stream, and at about the same time. John Alger 
 erected a saw-mill on Deer Creek, on lot 31, at an early day. It became the 
 property of C. P. Totman, and was carried away by a freshet. On lower 
 Deer Creek, about three miles southwest from Lorraine village, were 
 located small grist and saw-mills, known as Gillams, which have passed 
 away. Several mills are still located on this stream, near the site of the old 
 mills. In the southern part of the town, on a small brook, a cheese-box fac- 
 tory was once in operation, the property of Henry Brigham, who came to his 
 death by falhng upon the saw in his mill. Just below this factory a small 
 grist and saw-mill was operated at an early day. David Smith built a saw- 
 mill on Abijah Brook, in the northern part of the town, which was operated 
 by Eli Moore for many years. Farther to the west, on Sandy Creek, and the 
 stream flowing into it from the north, Sylvanus Lockwood built a saw-mill. 
 Daniel Wheeler and a Mr. Chafin also built saw-mills in the northern part of 
 the town at an early day. As the timber supply decreased these mills were 
 mostly discontinued, and very few are now in operation in the town. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church of Lorraine, located in Lorraine village, 
 was organized in 1853, and Rev. Whitmore was the first pastor. The first 
 house of worship of the society, which is still in use, was built in 1857, and 
 cost $2,500. It is a wooden structure, will seat 260 persons, and is valued, 
 including grounds, etc., at $3,200. The present membership is 70, with Rev. 
 George Ernst, pastor. The Sunday-school has 13 officers and teachers, and 
 74 scholars. 
 
 The Baptist Church 0/ Lorraitte was formed in 1806, with 13 members. 
 Rev. Amos Lamson, who was ordained October 7, 1806, was the first pastor. 
 He was succeeded in 1815 by Solomon Johnson, and 1819 Rev. Benjamin 
 W. Capron was employed. He was succeeded in 1830 by Rev. John F. 
 Bishop, who served one year. Subsequent pastors were Charles B. Taylor, 
 three years ; Henry Ward, three years ; Elisha Robbins, one year ; Luther 
 
TOWN OF LORRAINE, 
 
 Humphrey, three years ; O. L. Crittenden, one year. The church was with- 
 out a pastor until 1850, when J. F. Bishop was called. Following him came 
 Philander Persons, who continued several years. From 1859 L. P. Day was 
 pastor for two or three years, and in 1864 L. G. Brown came and remained 
 three years. In 1870 W. H. Taylor became pastor, and in 187 1 he was fol- 
 lowed by E. G. Blount, who remained 15 months. The next pastor, E. H. 
 Lovett, came in 1875, and remained two years. Since 1877 the pastors 
 have been N. Wright, E. H. Lovett, and William Warner. In 1854 the 
 society was reorganized and incorporated under the laws of the stale 
 as " The First Baptist Church and Society of Lorraine." Their house 
 of worship, a wooden building, was erected in 1830, at a cost of $1,200. 
 It was repaired in 1878, at a cost of $1,500, will comfortably seat 260 per- 
 sons, and is valued at $3,500. The present membership of the church is 66, 
 and Rev. Charles Coon is pastor. The Sunday-school has about 50 scholars. 
 The Congregational Church of Lorraine was formed December 3, 1829. 
 As early as 1807 services were occasionally held by Elder Bliss, who had 
 settled in the town, and also by Elder Spear, of Rodman. The trustees of 
 the society were Silas Lyman, William Corruth, and Alfred Webb. A small 
 church was erected in 1830, which was used by the society as long as it had 
 an existence, when it was sold to the Methodists. Services v/ere discontinued 
 about 1850.

TOWN OF LYME. 555 
 
 LYME. 
 
 LYME was formed from Brownville, by an act of March 6, 1818, em- 
 bracing the present towns of Lyme and Cape Vincent, adjacent 
 islands, and that part of Clayton lying west of Penet's Square. A 
 part of Clayton was taken off in 1833, and Cape Vincent in 1849. The town 
 lies in the western part of the county, upon Chaumont Bay, which, with its 
 tributaries, deeply indent its western border. It is bounded on the north- 
 west by Cape Vincent, on the northeast by Clayton, on the southeast by 
 Brownville, and on the southwest by Lake Ontario, and contains an area of 
 28,912 acres. It received its name from Lyme, in Connecticut. The town 
 includes Grenadier and Fox islands, in Lake Ontario, and Cherry Island, in 
 Chaumont Bay. The surface of the town is level, and the soil is principally 
 clay. ■ The most important stream is Chaumont River, which empties into 
 the bay of that name. Several smaller streams discharge into Three Mile 
 Bay, an arm of Chaumont Bay. 
 
 At the first town meeting held at the house of Luther Britton, March 3, 
 i8r8, Richard M. Esselstyn was chosen supervisor; John Dayan, clerk; 
 John B. Esselstyn, Luther Britton, and Benjamin Estes, assessors ; R. M. Es- 
 selstyn, James M. Craw, and Benjamin T. Bliss, commissioners of schools; 
 J. B. Esselstyn, L. Britton, overseers of the poor ; John M. Tremper, Eber 
 Kelsey, and Thaddeus Smith, fence viewers and poundmasters ; Elnathan 
 Judd, John Dayan, and Joseph Rider, commissioners of highways ; Alexan- 
 der Gage and Daniel Robbins, constables. 
 
 At this meeting it was voted to divide the town into eight road districts, to 
 give $100 to the poor, and to forbid hogs to run at large without yokes about 
 their necks and rings in their noses, the penalty for the violation of this last 
 regulation being a fine of 50 cents. Regulations were also made regarding 
 horses and horned cattle ; and the second year (181 9) $40 was voted to build 
 two pounds, one at Cape Vincent and the other at Chaumont. It would 
 appear from the records that the hog law was frequently evaded, for, in 1821, 
 it was voted that all the porkers running at large should have " a sufficient 
 yoke around his or her neck " ; and that the fines collected should be paid 
 over to the commissioners of schools. The usual bounties for wolves, etc.,. 
 were offered. 
 
 From Spafford's Gazetteer of 1824 we quote: — 
 
 " In 1821 the town included Cape Vincent and part of Clayton, and contained three post- 
 offices, one at Chaumont, where was a growing trade, one at Cape Vincent, where were several 
 stores, hoats, and considerable business, and one on Carleton Island, where was also a store 
 and wooding station. The fisheries of Chaumont Bay had at that time assumed considerable

 proportions, as upwards of 3,000 barrels of white flslj and siscoes were the yearly catch in this

 $124,994 of taxable property, 3,629 acres of improved land; 1,034 cattle, 129 horses, 1,082 sheep; 
 two grist-mills, three saw-mills, 22 asheries, and six school districts." 
 
 In i8So Lyme had a population of 2,277. The town is located in the third 
 school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 16 school districts, in 
 which 21 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. There were 563 scholars 
 attending school, and the aggregate days attendance during the year was 
 58,070. The total value of school buildings and sites was $12,983, while the 
 assessed valuation of all the districts was $1,379,210. The whole amount 
 raised for school purposes was $5,546.73, $3,176.99 of which was received 
 by local tax. Charles E. Whitney was school commissioner. 
 
 In 1805, four years after the settlement of the town, Nancy Smith opened 
 a school on the south side of the bay, which was the first school in the town.

 carriagemakers, meat market, restaurant, billiard saloon, dressmakers, shoe- 
 makers, a saw, shingle, and planing-mill, grist-mill, several manufacturing es- 
 tabhshments, and apopulation of about 500. This village suffered from a 
 disastrous fire in 1877. 
 
 WiLCOXViLLE (Point Peninsula postoffice) is a small hamlet about 12 
 miles from Three Mile Bay, with which it is connected by stage semi-weekly. 
 It has a telephone office, one church (Methodist Episcopal), two stores, 
 one hotel, blacksmith and millinery shops, and a population of about 100. 
 
 The Union School sX Chaumont village was built in 1880 by Ira Inman, 
 and cost $6,000. Three teachers are employed, and 125 scholars attend 
 school. This school is under the able principalship of Prof. John T. Delany. 
 
 Copley's saw-mill, at Chaumont village, was built in 1880, and in 1885 be- 
 came the property of Hiram Copley. It is run by steam-power, and has the

 capacity for cutting 2,000,000 feet of lumber annually. It also has a shingle- 
 mill attached. 
 
 The saw-mill zX. Three Mile Bay was built in 1820, by Peter and Richard' 
 Estus, who ran it many years. It was rebuilt in i860 by Menzo Wheeler, the 
 present proprietor. It is run by water-power, and has the capacity for cut- 
 ting 500,000 feet of lumber annually. 
 
 The grist and flouring- mill aX Three-Mile Bay was built in 1862, by Lewis 
 P. Phelps, the present owner. It is run by water-power, has three turbine 
 wheels, and three runs of stones. 
 
 The first settlement in the town of Lyme was commenced in 1801, on the 
 north shore of Chaumont River, about two miles above the village. These 
 pioneers came by the way of Oswego and the lake, and among them were 
 Jonas Smith, Henry A. Delamater, from Ulster County, Richard M. Essel- 
 styn, from Clavarack, then in Albany County, David Soper, T. Wheeler, James. 
 Soper, Peter Pratt, and Timothy Soper. The first site chosen for a village 
 proved to be an unfortunate one, on account of the unhealthful character of 
 the locality, and the next spring it was abandoned. The winter of 1801 and 
 1802 was spent by the settlers in the respective homes from which they had 
 emigrated, having returned there in the fall, after their summer's clearing and 
 building. In 1802 Mr. Delamater cleared the first land on Point Salubrious. 
 The sickness resulting at an early period from the noxious miasma of Chau- 
 mont River did not extend to this place, which suggested its present name, 
 first applied by Mr. Le Ray. In 1803 a part of the colony settled on the 
 site of the present village of Chaumont, built a saw-mill and warehouse, and 
 put in operation a log tavern. Their number was increased by several other- 
 families from Ulster County, among whom were a few unmarried men, and 
 an occasional immigrant from Canada. 
 
 In 1805 James Horton moved the families of Daniel and John Tremper 
 to the Chaumont settlement, and the next year came with his own family 
 from Colchester, Delaware County, and located on Point Salubrious, where 
 he was the first permanent settler. The Trempers were tanners, in which 
 business they engaged soon after locating here. A Mr. Mills was probably 
 the second settler on Point Salubrious. After him came Joseph Rider, Silas, 
 Taft, Stephen Fisher, and David Rider, who settled about 1807. Harry 
 Horton and many others were here in 1810, but no village was established, 
 and Chaumont continued to retain its position in that respect. 
 
 In 1806 Smith and Delamater, who were the agents of Le Ray, failed, 
 which fact, with the discouraging sickness from malarial fever, from which 
 several had died, greatly disheartened the afflicted settlers, and several 
 returned to their old homes. A majority of the people, however, remained^ 
 and decided to start once more anew. 
 
 Chaumont village has been visited by two quite insalubrious seasons. In 
 1.828 malignant fevers prevailed very fatally, and in 1875 50 deaths occurred

 within the limits of the corporation from typhoid pneumonia and diphtheria. 
 With these exceptions the region has been considered healthy. 
 
 When the War of 181 2 was declared the settlements at Chaumont village 
 and Point Salubrious contained about 15 famihes. The country north and 
 west, to near the St. Lawrence River, was an almost unbroken wilderness. 
 In June, 1812, with the advice of General Brown, the inhabitants begun 
 to build a block-house on the north shore of the bay, in front of the stone 
 house of F. CofFeen, which had been commenced in 1806, but was unfinished. 
 During the summer the place was visited by the British, and their fort was 
 demolished by the inhabitants, under an assurance that in this case their prop- 
 erty should be respected. An iron cannon had been found on the isthmus 
 of Point Peninsula, which Jonas Smith had purchased for two gallons of 
 rum. Mr. Camp, of Sackets Harbor, subsequently purchased it for $8, and 
 it was afterwards taken to Ogdensburg, where it was finally captured by the 
 British. 
 
 The first celebration of the Fourth of July in Jefferson County was held 
 at Chaumont in 1802. The settlers came from miles around, and some of 
 them were most hilarious in their manner of demonstrating their patriotism. 
 The exercises, which consisted of athletic sports, songs, shooting at a mark, 
 chasing the lubricated swine, and climbing the greased pole, were interspersed 
 with martial music of the most inspiring nature. The veterans of the war 
 rehearsed tales of strife, and fought over again the battles of their youth, for 
 the entertainment of their patriotic sons. 
 
 In 1 81 2 an unsuccessful attempt was made to settle Point Peninsula. TKe 
 war interfered, and the project was abandoned. In 1818 Sebra Howard, 
 William Wilcox, Oliver Wilcox, and John Wilcox, with their families, made 
 a permanent settlement. They were soon after followed by Brittle Minor, 
 Asahel Hoisington, Asa Collins, John Combs, and others. In 1823 but one 
 man was living at Three Mile Bay, in a log shanty east of the village, where 
 was also a toll-gate. Point Peninsula was nearly all taken up before the Bay 
 was permanently occupied. John Reed, Charles Leonard, and Benjamin 
 Estes were the only settlers there in 1835. Daniel Borden lived about half a 
 mile to the west of the village site, and within a distance of two miles eight 
 families by the name of Wells subsequently located. Daniel J. Schuyler set- 
 tled at Three Mile Bay in 1835, and was the first merchant. About this time 
 Asa Wilcox located here, and engaged extensively in building lake vessels 
 and smaller sailing craft. 
 
 In 18 18 Musgrove Evans, a surveyor, and an agent of Mr. Le Ray in this 
 region, brought a colony of Quakers from.Philadelphia, Pa., and located them 
 at Chaumont. The sickness already referred to discouraged them, and they 
 soon after moved away. Mr. Evans removed to Michigan, where he founded 
 the town of Tecumseh in 1823. 
 
 William Dewey and his father, Timothy Dewey, purchased 1,000 acres of 
 land from Vincent Le Ray, in 1833, located near Three Mile Bay. This

 :sarae year Alexander Copley came to Lyme. Mr. Copley was for many years 
 the largest land-owner in all this region of country. On June 7, 1833, he 
 purchased 2,562 acres of Vincent Le Ray de Chauraont, and on October 5, 
 1836, the large tract of 16,961 acres from Gouverneur Morris. These lands 
 were in the towns of Clayton, Brownville, and Lyme. He afterwards added 
 to his estate 10,000 acres situated in Antwerp. Mr. Copley did much to 
 .advance the interests of this locality. He made his home at Chauraont, 
 although business often called him elsewhere. The mantle of his business 
 in this section has fallen upon the shoulders of his son, Hiram Copley, who is 
 now the largest land-owner in the town, and probably possesses more farming 
 lands in this county than any other man residing in it. 
 
 The fisheries in the waters adjacent to the town of Lyme have afforded, 
 from an early period, a leading pursuit for many persons living in the vicinity, 
 and have proved of much commercial importance to the locahty. It has 
 been estimated that, for 30 years from i8i5or 1816, 10,000 barrels of ciscoes 
 and white fish were annually obtained. The business is not now so extensive 
 as formerly. In 1875 the shipment from Chaumont station was about 5,000 
 barrels, of which number 2,000 barrels were fresh fish. For some years the 
 ■ciscoes have been conspicuous by their absence from these waters, but indi- 
 cations now are that they may return to their old haunts. 
 
 Near the village of Chaumont are extensive lime-stone quarries, which were 
 opened as early as 1825. About 1875 a quarry was opened at Three Mile 
 Bay. The industry is an important one in the town, the value of the prod- 
 uct reaching as high as $45,000 in a single year. The principal firms in 
 •Chaumont are Adams Brothers and F. Duford & Son, and H. Copley, man- 
 ufacturer of quick-lime. There are 10 quarries here, four of which are owned 
 by H. Copley, two by Adams Brothers, and one each by Adams & Enos, 
 :Silas Davis, A. J. Dewey, and T. Gale. Mr. Copley's quarries are princi- 
 pally worked by F. Duford & Son. The combined quarries in Chaumont 
 have a working face two miles in extent. The quality of the stone is first- 
 class, as is also that at Three Mile Bay. The only dealer in the latter place 
 is John Barron, who does a business of about $2,000 a year. The insufficient 
 shipping faciUties at Three Mile Bay prevent the quarries there from coming 
 into strong competition with those in Chaumont. Adams Brothers also 
 manufacture about $3,500 worth of quick-lime annually. For building pur- 
 poses the stone is noted for its firm texture, freedom from seams and other 
 imperfections, and its abihty to withstand exposure to the weather without 
 •cracking. 
 
 Ship building was at one time an important industry at Chaumont and 
 Three Mile Bay, especially at the latter place, where the largest proportion of 
 the vessels were built by Asa Wilcox, who in his life-time was an extensi;^ 
 builder. The aggregate tonnage of the vessels constructed by Mr. Wilcox, 
 between 1835 ^^^ 1852, amounted to 6,410 tons, the largest having a meas- 
 wement of 395 tons. From 1832 to 1837 several vessels were built on Point 
 
560 TOWN OF LYME. 
 
 Peninsula. Among the vessels launched from the Chaumont ship yard have- 
 been the Stephen Girard, 60 tons, built in 1832 by William Clark; AUeghanr, 
 100 tons, built in 1835 by Robert Masters; R. C. Smead, 75 tons, built in 
 1839 by S. and A. Davis ; Copley & Main built, in 1847, Rip Van Winkle,. 
 235 tons; in 1848, Oxford, 244 tons; and the Palmyra, 180 tons; in 1851, 
 A. L. Hazelion, 230 tons; in September, 1873, Mary Copley, 275 tons,., 
 owned by Hiram Copley, A. Wilcox, and J. Gilmore; in June, r874, Water- 
 town, 309 tons, owned by H. Copley, Folger Brothers, and W. W. Enos; in 
 October, 1874, A. J. Dewey, 270 tons, owned by H. Copley, A. J. Dewey, 
 and W. W. Enos; in 1879, the scow Pinafore. There is this year (1890)' 
 building at Chaumont a small steamboat for Westminster Park Association. 
 In 1874 Pluche Brothers launched a small steamer, the Edith Sewell. 
 
 From the Three Mile Bay ship yard have been launched the following: in 
 183s, the Florida and Eton Bronson ; in 1836, Pennsylvania and Kentucky; 
 1837, Missouri; 1838, Patriot; 1841, Asa Wilcox and Havana, 1842, 
 D. D. Calvin and Rocky Mountains; 1843, Camh-idge (brig), Empire, axiA 
 Neptune , 1844, Cuba, Oregon, and (brig) Ontario ; in 1845, Milan and' 
 (brig) Hampton; 1846, (propeller) Clifton, Champioji {brig), Irog'uois, and 
 Rio Grande ; 1847, Palmetto, Seminole, Portlatid, Acadia, and (brig) H. R. 
 Seymour; 1848, (brigs) Saxton and Ocean; j?>/^<), D. J. Schuyler ; 1852,. 
 Melrose, iS^^, (lhTee-ma.steT) Hungarian. In 1S36 Asa Wilcox built the 
 Congress on Pillar Point. In 1843 Schuyler & Powers launched the Col. 
 Powers, and William Combs the Bogart, both of 80 tons, at Three Mile Bay^ 
 In 1845 E. Cline completed the Rush, 52 tons, and Peter Estes the Breeze^ 
 100 tons. In 1832 S. Howard built the New York, 80 tons, on Point Penin- 
 sula. In 1834 G. C. Rand built the William Buckley, 112 tons, in r836' 
 the Bancroft, and in 1837 the G. C. Rand, each of the same tonnage and at 
 the same place. This important industry has gradually been attracted tO' 
 western localities where the facihties are greater and lumber cheaper. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The first Sunday-school in town was opened on Point Salutrious at an 
 early date, but given up after a short experience. The first church in town 
 was formed on Point Salubrious, by Elder Joseph Maltby, of the Baptist 
 order, September 25, 1816. Delegates from churches in Brownville, Rut' 
 land, Rodman, Le Ray, Lorraine, Henderson, and Watertown were present,, 
 and 26 persons united. In 1835 there was no regular Sabbath worship at 
 Chaumont. This year Solon Massey settled in the place and soon after 
 started a Sunday-school, which gave an impulse to religious matters and re- 
 sulted in the subsequent establishment of Presbyterian and Methodist 
 churches. 
 
 The First Presbyterian Church, of Chaumont, was organized in 1838, with 
 12 members, by Rev, Joseph A. Canfield, the first pastor, now retired from

 active duties as a clergyman and residing in Antwerp. Their house of wor- 
 ship, a wooden structure, was built in 1844 at a cost of $3,000. It will com- 
 fortably seat 400 persons, and is now valued, including grounds and other 
 church property, at $7,000. The present membership is 78, under the pas- 
 toral charge of Rev. F. W. Johnson. The Sunday-school has 130 scholars 
 and 15 teachers. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church at Chaumont was organized by Rev. 
 D. W. Aylesworth, the first pastor, in 1877, ^-nd at its organization consisted of 
 20 members. Their church edifice was erected in 1877 at a cost of $5,000. 
 It will comfortably seat 400 persons, and is valued, including grounds, etc., at 
 ■$6,500. The present pastor is Rev. Mr. Joy, and the membership is 80. 
 The Sunday-school has a membership of 80 scholars and 10 teachers. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church, at Three Mile Bay, was organized in 
 1838, with five members, by Benjamin Dyten. The first pastor was Rev. 
 William Tripp, and the first class-leader David McComber. Their house of 
 worship, a wooden building, was erected in 1845 at a cost of about $5,000. 
 It will seat 300 persons, and is valued, including grounds, etc., at $6,000. 
 The present membership is 70, under the pastoral charge of Rev. W. P. 
 Hall. The Sunday-school has a membership of 81 scholars and nine 
 teachers. 
 
 The Baptist Church at Three Mile Bay was organized October 4, 1834, 
 with 32 members, by Elder Matthew Wilkie ; Rev. John S. Whitman was 
 the first pastor. Their first house of worship, a wooden structure, was 
 erected in 1840 at a cost of about $3,000. The present building will com- 
 fortably seat 300 persons, and is valued, including grounds, etc., at $4,000. 
 The present membership of the church is 154, under the pastoral charge of 
 Rev. Wilham H. Merriman. The Sunday-school has a membership of 10 
 teachers and 100 scholars. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church, located on Point Peninsula, was organized 
 in 1834 by Hiram Shepherd and Freeman H. Stanton. The society had no 
 meeting-house until 1880, when it was reorganized, and a building erected at 
 a cost of $2,100. It will comfortably seat 250 persons, and is now valued, 
 including grounds, etc., at $2,800. The present membership is 37, under- 
 the pastoral charge of Rev. Waley P. Hall. The Sunday-school has a mem- 
 bership of five teachers and about 40 scholars. 
 
 ALEXANDER COPLEY. 
 
 Alexander Copley, the son of a respectable farmer, was born in Denmark, 
 lewis County, N. Y., September 10, 1805. His boyhood was spent upon 
 his father's farm, with the exception of four years at the home of his maternal 
 grandfaither in New Lebanon, N. Y. He gamed his education chiefly from 
 the common schools of the day. Seated on the fiat side of a pine slab, sup- 
 ported by the unbarked limbs of a tree driven into a two-inch auger hole, he 
 
 36* 
 
S62 
 
 TOWN OF LYME. 
 
 Studied reading, writing, and arithmetic. Beyond this he spent one year at 
 Lowville Academy, paying his own way as janitor of the buildings. At an 
 early age he became a clerk in the store of William K. Butterfield, at Felt's 
 Mills, but soon changed to the store of Jason Francis, and shortly became a 
 partner with Mr. Francis ; then bought him out, and finally sold again to Fran- 
 cis and Butterfield. He also became a partner with John Felt and William 
 Coburn in the lumber trade. After about three years his attention was 
 called to a tract of over 400 acres of wood land for sale in the town of Lyme, 
 owned by parties in New York city. He had just collected funds to renew 
 his stock of goods, but went to the city and bought the land instead of the 
 goods, came home, closed up his affairs at Felt's Mills, and on October 30, 
 1833, was married to Miss Lucy Kelsey, daughter of Charles Kelsey, of Cham- 
 pion, N. Y. For a wedding trip they moved at once into the then dense for- 
 ests of Lyme, where they found a small house and barn with four acres of 
 cleared land, and began a warfare upon the tall pines, some old stumps of 
 which to this day remain as a monument of their toils. At the head of a 
 half do2en choppers Mr. Copley himself led the attack, while the young wife, 
 alone, and with her own hands, did the indoor labors for the whole family. 
 She started life with the idea of being a " helpmeet " as well as a helpeat ; — 
 helping to accumulate and economize, as well as to spend ; even though to 
 this age of progress it might seem a little old fashioned. 
 
 Before spring came Mr. Copley had 30 acres of his pine forest cleared, 
 burned over, and ready to grow bread for his family. But while swinging the 
 axe on those dreary winter days his sharp foresight discerned a fortune in 
 those wild lands stretching out on every side of him, and ere the next sum- 
 mer went by he had purchased 2,562 acres of the Vincent Le Ray lands. 
 He then moved to Chaumont, bought a house, store, saw, and grist-mill of 
 WiUiani Clark, making that his future home. 
 
 Three years later he purchased the large tract of 16,961 acres of Gouv- 
 erneur Morris. These lands lay in the three towns of Clayton, Brownville, 
 and Lyme. Later in life he added to his purchases 10,000 acres in the town 
 of Antwerp, making nearly 30,000 in all. Thus he became the largest land- 
 holder of lands lying in the bounds of the county. This large property was 
 shrewdly managed, — greatly increasing in value as the county became settled, 
 — thus making him one of the wealthiest men of the county at the time ol 
 his death. 
 
 In addition to the management of his extensive land property Mr. Coplej 
 dealt in lumber, grain, stone from his quarries, run a store, engaged in vesse 
 building, and was a bank director. He served his town as supervisor in 
 1843, '48, and '51, but was always averse to political life, or official position 
 yet he was a true patriot and ardent supporter of the government in its days 
 of peril. 
 
 By his indomitable energy and perseverance, by remarkable industry anc 
 economy, coupled with correct habits of life, he filled a conspicuous place ir 
 
TOWN OF LYME. 565 
 
 business circles, and accumulated a large estate. Like all land-holders he 
 was brought in contact in his deals with every variety of character, and it 
 would be strange if there were none to censure and condemn ; but candor 
 must admit that, though not faultless, there are few in like circumstances less 
 worthy of censure. With men of good habits, honest and industrious, yet 
 unable to meet contracts, he was always lenient. And not a few have beeni 
 lifted over the hard places in life's struggle by his helping hand. He avoided,, 
 not merely those vicious habits which prove the ruin of so many young men, 
 but those places of resort, and those Httle useless expenditures that levy a 
 constant tax on daily earnings and prevent multitudes from rising above an 
 absolute state of poverty. If the young men of this day would heed his ex- 
 ample in these respects it would greatly enhance their usefulness, happiness, 
 and prosperity in life. He was abstemious in his habits, and a warm friend 
 of the cause of temperance, especially in his late years. He was not without 
 interest in the cause of education and religion, and made some generous ben- 
 efactions for their support. He was a frequent reader of the Bible, and a 
 believer in its precepts. Though he made no public profession of his faith 
 in Christ, yet to the ear of his confidential friends he spoke of his dependence 
 upon His grace, and his love for His person and character. 
 
 Mr. Copley died in the maturity of his powers, at the age of 65 years, 
 leaving a widow, who is still living at the advanced age of nearly 75 years, 
 and four sons : Hiram, of Chaumont, Dewitt, Alexander, and Eugene, of 
 Antwerp, all living except the youngest (Eugene), and well known as among 
 the active, enterprising business men of the county. 
 
 The National Union Bank of Watertown, of which Mr. Copley was ai 
 director, passed the following resolution on February 6, 1871: — 
 
 "Whereas, Alexander Copley, one of the directors of this bank, and one of the foremost 
 citizens of our county, has. in the maturity of his manhood and the midst of his usefulness, 
 been suddenly removed by death, therefore, 
 
 " jResolved, That in the death of Alexander Copley we have lost a valued associate anS 
 frieud, — this institution has lost one of its ablest and safest officers and advisers, and the com- 
 munity in v»hich he lived a useful, high-minded, and honorable man, whose place in society 
 and business will not be readily filled."

 ORLEANS. 
 
 ORLEANS was formed from Brownville, April 3, 182 1, embracing Penet's 
 Square, and all north of this and west of a continuation of the line be- 
 tween lots No. 6 and 7, of Penet's Square, to the St. Lawrence. Much 
 difficulty and strife had existed for several years, with regard to the location of 
 the town meetings in Brownville, which led to the erection of Orleans. The 
 towns of Alexandria and Philadelphia were formed by the same act. April 
 I, 1829, a portion of this town was annexed to Pamelia, and in 1833 a part 
 
582 TOWN OF ORLEANS. 
 
 of its territory was taken to form the town of Clayton. By a act of February 
 6, 1840, all that part of Clayton north of Orleans and east of the north and 
 south division line between Clayton and Orleans, extending from the north- 
 west corner of Orleans to the St. Lawrence, was attached to the latter town, 
 together with a part of Wells Island, and all the smaller islands which would 
 be embraced by a line running from the termination, of the aforesaid division 
 line, between Clayton and Orleans ; thence through Eel Bay, around the 
 head of Wells Island, to the Canada line. All that part of Alexandria west of a 
 line running N. 42° W. from the corner of Orleans was also annexed to the 
 latter town. This last was restored to Alexandria, April 12, 1842. 
 
 The surface of the town is level, or slightly roUing ; the soil is clay and 
 loam. Outcroppings of stone are found in some parts of the town ; in spots 
 the barren rock is exposed to view, although in most places covered with 
 soil, which is generally fertile and productive. The principal streams in the 
 town are Perch River, Catfish Creek (or Chaumont River), and Mullet Creek. 
 Perch Lake hes upon the southeastern boundary. The town has an area 
 of 28,922^ acres. 
 
 The first town meeting was directed to be held at the house of Harvey 
 Boutvvell. The early records of the town having been destroyed, we are 
 unable to give the first town officers. Amos Reed was the first supervisor 
 of the town, and held the ofifice two years. Peter Rhines was the first town 
 clerk. The present supervisor is Byron J. Strough. 
 
 Spafford's Gazetteer of 1824 says of Orleans in 1820: — 
 
 "The population ia unknown, as it was included in that of Brown-ville at the time of 
 taking the last census. It is computed at 300. It being a new tract of country, with few 
 inhabitants, there is nothing to demand detail.'\ 
 
 In 1880 Orleans had a population of 2,318. The town is located in the 
 third school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 18 school districts, 
 in which 19 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. There were 495 
 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance during the year 
 was 39,893. The total value of school buildings and sites was $10,750, 
 while the assessed valuation of all the districts was $1,122,022. The whole 
 amount raised for school purposes was $4,272.72, $2,151.08 of which was 
 received by local tax. Charles E. Whitney was school commissioner. 
 
 La Fargeville (p. o.), named from John La Farge, the proprietor, was 
 fortperly known as " Log Mills." It is situated near the central part of the 
 town, on Chaumont River, 18 miles from Watertown, 197 from Albany, and 
 339 from New York. It is a station on the U. and B. R. division of the R., VV. 
 & O. Railroad, and has telegraph, telephone, and express offices, five 
 churches (Methodist Protestant, Methodist Episcopal, Protestant Episcopal, 
 Roman CathoHc, and Baptist, the last named not occupied), a fine graded 
 school, three general stores, a drug and grocery store, one hardware store, 
 two furniture stores, one flour and feed store, a grocery, three physicians, 
 three blacksmith shops, two meat markets, two custom boot and shoe shops,

 one harness shop, a photograph gallery, barber shop, art studio, carriage shop, 
 grist-mill, a good hotel, livery stable, billiard and pool room, millinery store, 
 several dressmakers, and a number of wholesale dealers in produce, thus 
 affording a first-class marlcet for the farmers in this locality. 
 
 Stone Mills (p. o.) village is located in the southwestern corner of the 
 county, 12 miles from Watertown, 194 from Albany, and 336 from New York. 
 It has telegraph and telephone offices, two churches, two stores, a cheese fac- 
 tory, saw-mill, and a blacksmith shop. 
 
 Omar (p. o.) village is located about two and a half miles south from Fish- 
 er's Landing, on Mullet Creek, 23 miles from Watertown, 202 from Albany, and 
 344 from New York. It contains one church, one hotel, a cheese factory, 
 two general stores, two blacksmith shops, one shoe shop, one harness shop, 
 and about 100 inhabitants. 
 
 Fisher's Landing (p. o.) is situated on the south bank of the St. Lawrence 
 River, six miles below Clayton, and contains one hotel, one general store, a 
 grocery, blacksmith shop, several boat builders, a few summer cottages, and 
 about 150 inhabitants. 
 
 Orleans Four Corners is a small post village and station on the U. and 
 B. R. division of the R., W. & O. Railroad, in the eastern part of the town, 
 16 miles from Watertown, 194 from Albany, and 336 from New York. It 
 has telegraph, telephone, and express offices, one church, a grocery, cheese 
 factory, and about 50 inhabitants. 
 
 Thousand Island Park (p. o.) is a summer resort on Wells Island, where 
 is located a large hotel, store, meat market, boat livery, and four or five hun- 
 dred cottages. 
 
 Grand View Park, one of the newest of the Thousand Island summer 
 resorts, is located in this town, on the northwestern point of Wells Island. A 
 fuller description of these beautiful summer homes has been given in the 
 County Chapter. 
 
 Dr. Hough's History of Jefferson County says that improvements com- 
 menced in this town in 1806, by persons who came on without acquiring title, 
 and took up lands ; there being no resident agent, and a partial and imper- 
 fect history of the title having gained currency, the belief became general 
 that there was no legal owner of the tract, which for several years after the 
 war had great numbers, cliiefiy of the poorer classes, to select land and make 
 locations. In this they were governed by nothing but their own choice, select- 
 ing some spring or stream of water for the vicinity of their dwellings, and ap- 
 propriating such lands to their own use as they might choose to claim. These 
 squatters, who had adopted a kind of regulation among themselves in rela- 
 tion to lands, were accustomed to make " possession lines " by lopping down 
 bushes, and bought and sold ''claims," giving quitclaim deeds for the same. 
 Few permanent improvements were made, the settlers mostly living in huts, 
 and enga_ged in getting out oak staves and square timber, makmg potash, or 
 in cultivating the soil in a most slovenly and careless manner. As a natural

 consequence this unprincipled course invited ttiither crowds of adventurers 
 from various quarters — many from the Mohawk country; rough, hardy, and 
 enterprising, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, accustomed to rough 
 fare and rude accommodations, yet in many respects just the class to reduce 
 a wilderness. Schools were established and religious societies organized a 
 few years after settlement. 
 
 In 1807 John Wilkes, one of the proprietors, visited the tract, and is 
 beheved to have been the first of the owners who traversed it. Being unac- 
 customed to the fatigue of traveling in the forest he returned home disgusted 
 with it, and for several years there was no legalized agent in the county. In 
 1817 (October 17) the following settlers took contracts on lots number 66, 75, 
 86, 87, and 95, near Stone Mills, in which vicinity A. M. Prevost held lands, 
 and had appointed Elisha Camp, of Sackets Harbor, as his agent: Asa Hall, 
 Richard Taylor, Frederick Avery, Benjamin and John Taylor, William Collins, 
 Samuel Linnel, Solomon Stowell, Lester White, Roderick C. Frazier, William 
 Collms, Jr., Leonard and Blake Baldwin, Isaac Mitchell, John B. Collins, 
 John Smith, Ebenezer Eddy, Shepherd Lee, Thomas Lee, Thomas Lee, Jr., 
 Ebenezer Scoville, William Guile, William Larrabe, Warrq'n Hall, Henry 
 Arnold, Ambrose Adams, and John Page. The contracts ran for seven years, 
 and the lands were rated at $5 per acre. 
 
 In 1 82 1 certain of the settlers, not being sure of the validity of Penet's 
 title, petitioned the legislature to authorize the attorney-general to examine 
 the title. Following is the attorney-general's report: — 
 
 " The Attorney-General, to whom was referred the petition of a number of the inhabitants 
 of that part of the town of Brownville, in the County of Jefferson, called Penet's Square, re- 
 spectfully represents: 
 
 "That the petitioners state that the tract of land called Penet's Square is situate in great 
 lot No. rv., of Macomb's Purchase, and contains 64,000 acres. That the title to these lands is 
 'to the public generally, and to the petitioners in particular, altogether uncertain,' and that 
 there are on the said tract about 320 families, or those ' who have been induced to take contracts 
 of the pretended agents of pretended proprietors' ; and that great improvements have been 
 made on the same tract of land, and that the inhabitants of the same tract are very solicitous 
 to ascertain the real title to the same. The petitioners therefore pray, first, that some resolu- 
 tion or law may be passed that shall force those who lay claim to said tract of land to put the 
 evidence of their title on the records of the County of Jefferson, and, second, that the Surveyor- 
 General, or the Commissioners of the Land Office, may be directed to report 'such infor- 
 mation as they may possess.relative to the title of the said lands.' As to the first request of the 
 petitioners, it is presumed that it is not expected of the Attorney-General that he shoidd give 
 any opinion as to the propriety or expediency of granting it; but, as to the second, the At- 
 torney-General has no means of ascertaining the true title of the lands in question, any fur- 
 ther than what may be derived from an examination of all records in the office of the Secretary 
 of State. The Attorney-General finds in such examination that the said tract, called Penet's 
 Square, is not, as the petitioners express, a part of Macomb's Purchase, but a separate tract, 
 granted by the State to Peter Penet by letters patent, dated the 19th of November, 1789, and 
 the whole of said tract, except 21,000 acres, appears to have been conveyed by the said Penet 
 to one John Duncan, formerly of Schenectady. How the title to the above lands have been 
 subsequently conveyed, or whether the same remains with the said Duncan, or his heirs, the 
 Attorney-General has no means of ascertaining. 
 
 "All of which is respectfully submitted.

 A considerable portion of Penet's Square had become the property of John 
 LaFarge, who had been engaged in the firm of Russell & La Farge, as a 
 merchant in Havre, and in the course of his business had purchased a por- 
 tion of these lands. He Subsequently resided several years in New Orleans, 
 and about 1824 came on to assert his title to this tract, but the settlers had, 
 from the previous confusion of claims, at first but little confidence in his title. 
 In 1824 a meeting was held at Stone Mills, at which a committee was ap- 
 pointed to investigate the question, in order to decide what reliance might 
 be placed in his claims, which resulted in little good. In 1826 two other 
 persons claiming title under Hyppolite Penet, brother of Peter Penet, the 
 original patentee, appeared at La Fargeville, called a meeting of citizens, and 
 stated their claims, but with no further effect than to impair the confidence- 
 of some in the pretensions of others. After considerable more litigation the 
 lands again reverted to La Farge, who finally removed to New York, ap- 
 pointing Dr. John Binsse, of Watertown, his agent. 
 
 The first settler in the town of Orleans was Roderick C. Frazier, who came 
 on in 1806 and built a log house, about two miles north of Stone Mills, in 
 the garden of the farm now occupied by Roswell W. Gates. The second 
 settler was Peter Pratt, who was born in Saybrook, Conn., in 1775. ^^■ 
 Pratt married Mary Scoville, of Hartford, Conn., at Perch River village in this 
 county, in 1805, and in 1807 located a little south of Stone Mills. Soon 
 after this several others came in, among whom were the Collins brothers, the 
 Mitchells, and the Dorrs. North of Stone Mills, at Moulton's Corners, the 
 early settlers were Daniel Niles, Semon Shead, Shep. Lee, Oliver Wright, 
 Peter Rhines, Coleman Dickinson, Charles McGiven, and Seth Warner. 
 Later on came 'Squire McNitt, Daniel Gardner, Archibald Fisher, Robert 
 Jerome, and Col. Martin. All these located in the vicinity of the Corners. 
 The town business was transacted here from 182 1 until the records were 
 burned with Moulton's store in 1828. 
 
 The first settlement of La Fargeville began in 18 16, when Dr. Reuben 
 Andrus, with Benjamin Page, came from Vermont and located here in that 
 year. Dr. Andrus built a log house upon the site of the present Orleans 
 House, and Mr. Page erected a like habitation where Wayland Ford now 
 lives. In the fall of that year (1816) a log mill was built at the upper dam 
 by Dr. Andrus. A few weeks later Moses Darby came on with his family, 
 and built a log house near the site of Byron J. Strough's residence on Clay- 
 ton street. Eli Bergin, then a boy of 16 years, came with him. Mr. Darby was a 
 mighty hunter, and often furnished the pioneers with venison, and not infre- 
 quently with bear's meat. In 181 7 Peter Cook came on with his family and 
 built the first frame house in the village. He had four sons, Horace, Hiram, 
 Hial, and Harvey. Major Earl, who acquired his title in the War of 181 2, 
 also settled here in 1817, and built a house near the Clayton line, on the. 
 Capt. Snell farm, now occupied by Seth Mathers. The Major had a son, Ly- 
 man, who came with him. Soon after Major Earl, the same year, Charles-

 Cummins came in and built the Cushman House, which he opened as a 
 hotel. Dr. Cushman also came in 1817, and was the first practicing physi- 
 cian in the village. The Doctor subsequently bought the hotel, which has 
 since borne his name. It is now the property of Mr. Henry. In 1820 Fred 
 Tyler, of Rutland, opened the first grocery store here. W. C. George, who 
 was employed by Mr. Tyler in the capacity of clerk, subsequently succeeded 
 him in business, and served the town as supervisor and justice of the peace. 
 
 As has been previously stated the early settlers had nothing but "brush 
 titles " to the land. After the territory became the property of John La Farge, 
 by purchase from the comptroller for taxes, about 1823, Mr. La Farge came 
 on and compelled the settlers to pay for the improvements made on the 
 lands which they supposed to be their own. This was a severe blow to the 
 pioneers, and many of them, not being able to pay for their claims, left town. 
 Mr. La Farge immediately commenced the erection of a land office, which 
 building is now used as a hotel (the Getman House). He also built a school- 
 house, the La Farge mansion, the stone house opposite the mansion, and the 
 Biddlecom residence at the village. Up to this time (1823) the village had 
 retained the appellation of "Log Mills." At a Fourth of July celebration 
 held in the woods, where the school-house now stands, a vote was taken 
 which resulted in adopting the present name. 
 
 On the night between May 29 and 30, 1838, the British steamship Sir 
 Robert Peel was plundered and burned while taking on wood at Moore's 
 Landing, Wells Island, by a party of 22 self styled " patriots," led by one 
 Bill Johnson. Large rewards were offered for the apprehension of any of 
 those engaged in the nefarious undertaking, and although several were 
 arrested none were convicted at the time. One man was subsequently 
 executed in Kingston for the incendiarism. The Rock Island hght-house, 
 which shines near the spot where Xht Peel was burned, was built in 1853, and 
 Bill Johnson was appointed the first keeper. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 St. Paul's Episcopal Church, at La Fargeville, was organized in January, 
 1868, by Rev. H. R. Lockwood, although services had been held irregularly 
 before that time. At its organization it consisted of 10 members, and Rev. 
 H. R. Lockwood was the first rector. The society first worshiped in the 
 building now held by the Protestant Methodist Society, of which they were 
 then half owners. They subsequently erected their present frame building at 
 a cost of $3,000. It will comfortably seat 200 persons, and is valued, includ- 
 ing grounds and other property, at $3,500. The present membership is 35, 
 and Rev. J. E. Walton, of Clayton, is the rector. The following interesting 
 note is taken from the parish register: " The first Episcopal services known 
 to be held in the Township of Orleans took place November 13, 1856, in 
 the Lutheran Meeting- House at Orleans Corners, the Rev. Robert Harwood, 
 
TOWN OF ORLEANS. 587 
 
 a clergyman of the Church of England, officiating. At that visitation he 
 administered the Holy Communion to Margaret P. Hines, and buried her at 
 the above mentioned date." 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at the village of La Fargeville, 
 was organized before 1832. The exact date of its organization cannot now 
 be ascertained, as the records of the church previous to 1852 have been lost. 
 The pastor of the church in 1S52 was Rev. G. W. Elwood, and in that year 
 the society rented the academy building, which it subsequently purchased, 
 and still uses as a church and parsonage. The size of the main building is 
 JO by 70 feet, to which has been added a prayer-room 12 by 30 feet. The 
 -original cost of the structure was $3,500. It will comfortably seat 250 per- 
 sons, and is now valued, including grounds, etc., at $5,000. There are at 
 present 81 members, under the pastoral charge of Rev. Webster Ingersoll. 
 The Sunday-school has a membership of 120. 
 
 The Methodist Protestant Church, located in La Fargeville, was organized 
 in 1869, with 25 members, by Rev. Philip Swift, the first pastor. Their 
 <;hurch building was erected as a union church in 1838, and was purchased 
 by the society in 1872. It will comfortably seat 275 persons, cost originally 
 $4,300, and is now valued, including grounds, etc., at $3,500. The church 
 is out of debt and is in a generally flourishing condition. The present num- 
 ber of members is 40, and Rev. W. H. Bentley is the pastor. The Sunday- 
 tschool has five teachers and 30 scholars. 
 
 The Methodist Protestant Church, at Stone Mills, was organized December 
 .25, 1866, by Rev. Philip Swift, the first pastor, and at its organization con- 
 sisted of 2t members. Their first house of worship, the present wooden 
 structure, was erected in 1870 at a cost of $2,000, about its present value. 
 It will comfortably seat 250 persons. The present membership of the church 
 is 43, under the pastoral charge of Rev. W. H. Bentley. Jason D. Timmer- 
 man is superintendent of the Sunday-school, which has a membership of 12 
 teachers and 48 scholars. 
 
 The Evangelical Lutheran Church, located at Orleans Four Corners, was 
 organized May 15, 1840, by Rev. Henry L. Dox, the first pastor, and at its 
 organization consisted of 12 members. The original cost of their house of 
 worship, which will comfortably seat 250 persons, was about $1,250. It is 
 now valued, including grounds, etc., at $3,000. The present membership of 
 ■the church is 69, under the pastoral care of Rev. Eugene L. Wade. Joseph 
 Rasbach is superintendent of the Sunday-school, which consists of five teach- 
 ers and 60 scholars. 
 
 St. John's German Evangelical Lutheran Church, located on lot No. 45 
 ■of Penet's Square, was organized in 1841, by Henry Haas, V". Balltuff, and 
 -N. Lehr, with Rev. Mr. Schmidt as first pastor. Their house of worship, a 
 •wooden structure, was erected in 1841, at a cost of $1,500. It will seat 200 
 persons, and is valued at $i,6oo. The present membership is 46, under the 
 pastoral charge of Rev. George F. Hartwig.

 St John's Roman Catholic Church, at La Fargeville, is a pretty frame 
 structure 30 by 40 feet, and will comfortably seat about 100 people. The 
 church was recently dedicated, and is a credit to the Catholics of the town,, 
 who, though few in numbers, are devout and earnest in their worship. 
 
 RUSSELL B. BIDDLECOM. 
 
 Hon. Russell B. Biddlecom, son of Charles and Rhoda Biddlecom, was- 
 born in Deerfield, Oneida County, March ig, 1822. Upon the death of his 
 father, in 1829, he went to live with an elder brother, and in 1835 he immi- 
 grated to this town, where he has since resided, with the exception of during, 
 the years 1857-60, when he held the office of county clerk and resided in 
 Watertown. He received a good common school education, with the addi- 
 tion of three months at Belleville Academy. His school days were alter- 
 nated with work on his brother's farm. Commencing at the age of 1 8 he taught 
 school for about 12 years. In 1844, in recognition of his qualifications as a 
 teacher, he was elected town superintendent of common schools, which posi- 
 tion he filled acceptably for eight years. In 1849 he was elected justice of 
 the peace and served until 1857. He was appointed colonel by Governor 
 Morgan, and assisted in organizing artillery companies in Lewis and Jefferson 
 counties, and during the term of his service nearly 2,400 men were enlisted 
 and sent to the front, comprising 16 companies, which were formed into- 
 heavy artillery regiments. He served at the front one year, and was dis- 
 charged for disability. In 1865 he represented the Third Assembly district 
 in the state legislature, and the Second Assembly district in the same body 
 in 1866. In 1865 he was elected supervisor, and continued in office five 
 years. In politics Mr. Biddlecom was a Whig until 1855, when he became a 
 Republican and assisted in organizing the Republican party in Jefferson 
 County, for the success of which party he has since given his best efforts. 
 In 1870 Mr. Biddlecom became interested in a company for building the 
 Theresa & Clayton Railroad, of which he was elected a director, and was ap- 
 pointed superintendent, secretary, and treasurer, which positions he held until' 
 the road was consolidated with the Utica & Black River Railroad Co. The 
 towns of Orleans and Clayton were bonded to build the road, the former for 
 $80,000 and the latter for $100,000. 
 
 Mr. Biddlecom obtained the consent of the taxpayers of the town of Or- 
 leans to its bonding, although violently opposed by Cornelius Burt, Albion A. 
 Hughes, William B. Irwin, and many others, who afterwards appeared in the 
 County Court and contested the appointment of railroad commissioners. After 
 a hearing before Judge Sawyer he appointed commissioners to issue the bonds. 
 The case was brought by certiorari to the Supreme Court of the state, in 
 which the judgment of the County Court was sustained. On appeal to the 
 Court of Appeals the judgment of the County Court appointing commis- 
 sioners was reversed. 
 
TOWN OF ORLEANS. 589 
 
 Intermediate the decision of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals 
 Mr. Biddlecom, as treasurer of the railroad company, sold $10,000 worth of 
 the bonds of the town of Orleans, which had been issued by the commission- 
 rers, and soon after the decision of the Court of Appeals he sold the remain- 
 der of the bonds, amounting to $70,000. After the sale of the bonds Isaac 
 Mitchell, as supervisor of the town of Orleans, commenced proceedings in 
 the Supreme Court against Mr. Biddlecom and others to recover damages on 
 account of the sale of the bonds, alleging that he, in bonding the town, 
 building the railroad, and selling the bonds, had conspired with others to de- 
 ^'raud the town. In 1884, after many years of expensive litigation, the suit 
 was finally decided against the town, and Mr. Biddlecom fully exonerated 
 -from all charges of fraud and conspiracy, and his official acts in behalf of the 
 railroad declared valid. The railroad, in its value and usefulness, having 
 •surpassed the expectations of its most sanguine friends, all opposition has 
 ■ceased, and Mr. Biddlecom is now universally acknowledged one of the ben- 
 efactors of the town. 
 
 FAMILY SKETCHES. 
 
 Peter Pratt was born in Saybrook, Conn., in 1776. In 1805 he was married to Lucy 
 Soovel, of Hartford, Conn., the ceremony being performed at Perch Biver village, in the town 
 'of -Brownville. He removed from Brownville to Orleans and was the second settler in the

 PAMEKIA. 
 
 PAMELIA was formed from Brownville, April 12, 1819, and was named 
 in honor of the wife of Gen. Jacob Brown, whose maiden name was 
 Pamelia Williams. In 1824 its name was changed to " Leander," but 
 soon after the former name was restored. By an act of April i, 1824, a 
 small part of Panel's Square, southeast of Perch Lake, was annexed from 
 Orleans, which gave the town its present limits, with the addition of the por- 
 tion subsequently incorporated in the city of Watertown. It is the central 
 town of the county, and is bounded on the north by Orleans, on the east by 
 Le Ray, on the south by Black River, which separates it from the town of 
 Watertown, and on the west by Brownville. The surface of the town is level, 
 or gently undulating, and the soil is clay or sand. It is entirely underlaid 
 with limestrne, which frequently crops out at the top of the ground. A few 
 evidences of the drift period, in the form of large granite bowlders, are found 
 in the town. Upon the northeastern border of the town, lying parlly in 
 Orleans, is Perch Lake, a beautiful little body of water nearly three miles 
 long and three-fourths of a mile in width at the widest place. The territory 
 of Pamelia is drained by several small streams, of which Perch River (the 
 outlet of Perch Lake), Philomel Creek, and Cowen's Creek are the principal, 
 all three running in a southwesterly direction, and al), prev ous to the clear- 
 ing off of the forest, containing a considerable quantity of water. 
 
 The first town meeting was directed to be held "at the school-house near 
 Elias Wager/' in the spring of 1820, when the following town officers were 
 elected: John Stewart, supervisor; Henry Gotham, clerk j Russel Weaver, 
 Benjamin Still, and Simeon Woodruff, assessors ; S. Woodruff, B. Still, over- 
 seers of the poor ; Alfred Comins, S. Woodruff, B. Still, commissioners of 
 highways ; Horace Mather, collector ; Osman Banister, Nehemiah Van Nest

 Spafford^s Gazetteer of 1824 says of this town in 1820: — 
 
 " The hamlet of Williamsmlle, orWilliamstown, is pleasantly situated on the river, directly 
 opposite the court-house in Watertown, a half-mile distant, and contains 25 houses, a grist- 
 mill, saw-mill, clothier's works, an oil-mill, two taverns, and several different kinds of me- 
 ohanios. The Pamelia postoffioe is in this place. 
 
 " The population of the town is 1,342; taxable property, ©72,248; acres of improved land, 
 6,323; 1,339 cattle, 318 horses, 2,644 sheep; 8,206 yards of cloth were made in families. There 
 .are also five grist-mills, one saw-mill, one fulling-mill, one carding machine, and two asheries." 
 
 In 1880 Pamelia had a population of 1,143. The town is located in the 
 third school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 10 school districts, 
 in which the same number of teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. 
 There were 191 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance 
 during the year was 18,389. The total value of school buildings and sites 
 was $4,550, while the assessed valuation of all the districts was $722,107. 
 The whole amount raised for school purposes was $1,941.18, $876.77 of which 
 was received by local tax. Charles E. Whitney was school commissioner. 
 
 Pamelia Four Corners is a small post village in the northeastern part of 
 the town, nine miles from Watertown, 181 from Albany, and 333 from New 
 York. It has telephone, telegraph, and express offices, a general store, church, 
 dealer in farm implements, two blacksmith shops, and about 75 inhabitants.

6o2 TOWN OF PAMELIA. 
 
 The first settlement in the town of Pamelia was made in 1799, by two men 
 named Boshart and Kitts, who located with their families about three miles 
 northeast from Watertown, near where Le Ray street now runs, erected log 
 houses, and began clearings. They became dissatisfied, however, and on the 
 approach of winter removed to the territory now called Lewis County (then 
 a part of Oneida County, as was also Jefferson County), where they became 
 permanent settlers. 
 
 In 1799 the south part of the territory afterwards called Pamelia was owned 
 by Pierre Chassanis, a French gentleman, it being a portion of what was 
 known as " Castorland," " the Chassanis tract," or "The French Company's 
 land." The central and northern portions were a part of " Great Tract 
 No. 4," of Macomb's purchase, except the territory east and northeast of 
 Perch Lake, which was embraced in Penet's Square. Tract No. 4 was then 
 actually owned by the Antwerp Company, an association of Holland gentle- 
 men residing in the city of Antwerp, though, being foreigners, the title was 
 held by others for them. In 1800 the southwest half of tract No. 4 (which 
 included the Pamelia portion) was conveyed in trust for the Antwerp Com- 
 pany to James Le Ray de Chaumont. He was made the agent of the com- 
 pany for the sale of the territory thus conveyed, and 10 years later he pur- 
 chased all the unsold land in tract No. 4. Le Ray soon acquired an interest 
 in the Chassanis tract also, and made all the sales after 1801, either as prin- 
 cipal or agent. Thus it will be seen that all land titles in Pamelia (except 
 in the small tract embraced in Penet's Square) may be traced back to Le Ray 
 de Chaumont, acting for himself or others. 
 
 After Boshart and Kitts one of the earliest settlers was Mr. Makepeace, 
 grandfather of Elliott Makepeace, who settled in the north part of the town 
 and built the first frame house within the present limits of Pamelia. As 
 early as 1804 a few settlers located on the north shore of Black River, in 
 what is no-v Watertown. The following year Mr. Haven settled a mile from 
 the river, just inside the city limits, and it is fair to presume that as early as 
 that year some immigrants located in the present Pamelia. Previous to 1812 
 some 20 or 30 families came into town, among whom were John Gould and 
 J. M. Parish, who both settled in the northwest part. Elijah Ainsworth, 
 PhiHp Ainsworth, Mr. Brintnall, Caleb J. Bates, Isaac and Jacob Meacham, 
 WiUiam Morse, and Jacob Lowell all settled in the northwest part of the 
 town before 18 12. Benjamin Cole, Obadiah Rhodes, and Stephen Farr set- 
 tled during the same period, near Pamelia Four Corners, while Aaron Dres- 
 ser, Curtis Goulding, Henry Becker, and Alvin Twing were the founders of 
 that village itself. 
 
 About 1812 John Folts settled in the southwestern part of the town. He 
 was soon after followed by Simeon Woodruff, Peter Acker, and David and 
 Belshazzar Tillipaugh. Two families, named Baker and Cooper, were among 
 the earliest settlers in the southeastern part of the town. Smith Scoville 
 located here before i8ii, and afterwards opened a hotel. John Brown came

 from Brownville in 1812 and built the first frame. house in the southeast part 
 of the town. David Augsbury, with his family, settled in the northwest part 
 of the town in 181 1, and in 1812 he was followed by his father, John Augs- 
 bury, with his three younger sons, Benjamin, Nicholas, and Daniel. After 
 the War of 1812 two other sons, John and Abraham, came in with their fam- 
 ilies. John Augsbury, Sr., purchased Mr. Makepeace's farm, and the latter 
 located upon another in the same neighborhood. In 1814-15 Theron Con- 
 verse put up a log house on what is now Le Ray street, just north of the 
 present city line. At this time the country was all a dense wilderness east- 
 ward, almost to Carthage. William McGinnis settled in the southwest part 
 of the town in 1815, and at this time, it has been said, there were between 
 30 and 40 families in the town. 
 
 .\mong those who came in before 18 19 were Elijah Wright, William Waf- 
 ful, John Wafful, Russel Weaver, Benjamin Still, John Stewart, Capt. Joseph 
 
 Mayo, Nichols, John Stewart, Joel Niras, James Wright, Isaac C. Pettit, 
 
 Daniel Pettit, Osman Banister, Nehemiah Van Nest, John N. Gunn, 
 
 Gardner, Conrad Wafful, Benjamin Pease, William Sixbury, John Sixbury, 
 Isaac Sixbury, Elias Wager, Combs, Charles Brown, Thomas Good- 
 rich, and Abram Spalsbury. Joel Nims settled in the Thomas Brown neigh- 
 borhood in 1818, where he bought the farm upon which WiOiam Wafful had 
 made improvements. 
 
 The first tavern in town was opened by Aaron Dresser, at Patnelia Four 
 Corners, soon after the War of 1812. The first store was kept by John N. 
 Gunn in the western part of the town, and was opened about 1816. The 
 first saw-mill was built on Philomel Creek, at the crossing of the Clayton 
 road, by Mr. Abbey. 
 
 Log houses were almost universal in 18 18, but at this time a number of 
 frame barns were built, giving the country quite a civilized appearance. 
 Stone was so abundant that a building of that material was almost as cheap 
 as one of wood. Between stone and frame the log houses were rapidly su- 
 perseded, and by 1830 they had mostly disappeared. 
 
 Postoffices were established at Pamelia, then Williamsville village and 
 later North Watertown (in the present city district), previous to 1824, and at 
 Pamelia Four Corners as early as 1830. In i83r the postmaster at the 
 latter place was S. Comstock, and in 1837 it was Abram M. Harger. In 1854 
 the Potsdam & Watertown Railroad was finished, running through the south- 
 eastern corner of the town. It afterwards became a part of the R., W. & O. 
 system. In 1852 the Cape Vincent branch of the latter road was completed, 
 a small portion of which runs through the southwestern corner of the town. 
 Upon the incorporation of the city of Watertown, May 8, 1869, about 700 
 acres of the territory of Pamelia, comprising the villages of North Water- 
 town and Juhelville, containing over 1,200 of its inhabitants and its princi- 
 pal business establishments, were absorbed by the city. The town is espe-

 Four Corners, was organized February 28, 1847, by James Jones, Orvis 
 ■Goulding, and others, with seven members. Rev. O. C. Cole being the first 
 pastor. Their house of worship, the present wooden structure, was erected 
 in 1840, at a cost of about $1,600. It will comfortably seat 300 persons, and 
 is valued, including grounds, etc., at $3,000. The present membership is 
 22. No regular pastor is employed. 
 
 The Protestant Methodist Church, located two miles and a half north of 
 Pamelia Four Corners, was organized about 1845, by Peter Busier, Warner 
 Nellis, and Jacob Wagoner, with 30 members. Rev. Philip Swift being the 
 first pastor. Their house of worship, the present wooden structure, was 
 erected in 1867, at a cost of $1,800. It will comfortably seat 250 persons, 
 and is valued, including grounds, etc., at $2,375. The society has 22 mem- 
 bers, under the pastoral charge of Rev. S. P. Watson. The Sunday school 
 has a membership of 45, under the superintendency of Peter Busier.

TOWN OF PHILADELPHIA. 609 
 
 PHILADELPHIA. 
 
 PHILADELPHI A was erected from Le Ray, April 3, 1821, with its present 
 limits, the territory originally forming a part of Brownville, from which 
 Le Ray was erected in 1806. The name of Elizabethtown* had been 
 chosen, but there being one already in the state, the present name was selected 
 by citizens who had lived in or near the city of Philadelphia. Some proposed 
 to name the town Benezet, after the benevolent Quaker of that name. The 
 town is rectangular in form, its length, lying nearly northwest and southeast, 
 being about one-quarter greater than its breadth. It is bounded on the 
 northwest by Theresa, on the northeast by Antwerp, on the southeast by 
 Wilna, and on the southwest by Le Ray. It comprehends 54 "great lots " 
 of tract No. 4 of the Macomb purchase, being six ranges of nine lots each. 
 In the southern and western portions of the town the surface is rolling, and 
 in the opposite parts, towards Antwerp and Theresa, it becomes rough and 
 hilly. Its waters are the Indian River, entering from Antwerp and flowing 
 nearly west across the town into Le Ray ; Black Creek, entering near the 
 southern corner from Wilna, flowing in a general northern course, and join- 
 ing the river above the village of Philadelphia ; several small streams 
 which fall into these from the east ; and Otter Creek, which passes westvvardly 
 through the northern corner of the town into Theresa. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the house of Harvey Hamblin, in 
 Philadelphia village, March 5, 1822, at which the following officers were 
 chosen: Alden Buckhn, supervisor; John Strickland, Jr., clerk; Thomas 
 Bones, Alden Buckhn, and Abial Shurtlefif, assessors ; William Bones, collec- 
 tor; Cadwallader Child, John Townsend, and Abial Shurtlefif, commissioners 
 of highways; John Strickland, Jr., David Mosher, and James Bones, com- 
 missioners of schools; James Bones, Cadwallader Child, and J. R. Taylor, 
 inspectors of schools ; and William Bones, constable. 
 
 At the first general election held "November 4, 1822, and the two suc- 
 ceeding days inclusive," Joseph C. Yates, for governor, received 48 votes, 
 Erastus Root, for lieutenant-governor, 31, and Henry Huntington, for same 
 office, 16. 
 
 Since the organization of the town the supervisors have been Alden Buck- 
 
 *In the early survey bills of roads surveyed in the town of Le Ray, when the location 
 of the present village was mentioned, it viascaUtA Elizabethtown, until, in survey bill No. 35, 
 under date of February 20, 1810, for the first time, it is spoken of as Friends Settlement, 
 by which name, and as corrupted, Quaker Settlement, the village was for many years 
 very commonly designated, and by old citizens of the county is even now sometimes called 
 by those names, or, for short, The Settlement.

 Sjiafford's Gazetteer oi 1813 says: — 
 
 •" In 1811-12, at ' The Settlement,' there was a grain and a saw-mill, and a Quaker meet- 
 ing-house." 
 
 The same author in 1824 says of Philadelphia in 1821: — 
 
 " The Indian Biver and its branches supply mill sites, only two of which are yet occupied, 
 with one grist-mill and one saw-mill. The population is included in that of Le Bay in the last 
 census, and is computed at 55 families. There is a small society of Friends, or Quakers, who 
 have a meeting-house for worship, the only one in this town." 
 
 After the erection of the town in 1822 the school moneys, of which one- 
 half was collected by the town collector and one-half paid by the county treas- 
 urer, were apportioned among the three school districts as follows : District 
 No. 1 had 40 children and received $10.20; district No. 2 had 25 children 
 and received $7.42; and district No. 3 had 41 children and received $9.50. 
 In 1830 eight school districts reported, from which it appears there were 367 
 children taught that year, for which there was paid of the pubhc moneys 
 $99.48, and from local taxes $385.75. Cadwallader Child, Amos Fames, 
 and George Morgan were commissioners. 
 
 In 1880 Philadelphia had a population of 1,750. The town is located in 
 the second school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 10 school dis- 
 tricts, in which 13 teachers were employed 28 weeks more. There were 360 
 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance during the year 
 was 35,356. The total value of school buildings and sites was $6,850, while 
 the assessed valuation of all the districts was $814,537. The whole amount 
 raised for school purposes was $3,533.57, of which $2,122.16 was received 
 by local tax. Truman C. Gray was school commissioner. 
 
 Philadelphia (p. o.) village was incorporated in 1872, the boundaries- 
 being described as follows : " Beginning at a point in Hne between great lots 
 Nos. 6 10 and 644, 15 chains from corner of great lots Nos. 609, 610, 643, and 
 644; thence N. 39" E., along said great lot line, 80 chains, to a point one 
 chain beyond corner of great lots Nos. 611, 612, 645, and 646; thence N. 51° 
 W., parallel with great lot line, 80 chains; thence S. 39° W., 80 chains, to 
 stake near bank of Indian River ; thence S. 5 1 ° E., 80 chains, to place of be- 
 ginning ; containing 640 acres of land. Surveyed by Martin E. Aldrich, 
 Dec. 4, 1871." The first meeting was held at the office of Bennett F.

 organization of the incorporation. D. H. Scofield was the first president; 
 Seth Strickland, Orrin A. Cross, and George E. Tucker, trustees ; Asa E. 
 Macomber, clerk ; and James Barr, street commissioner. At the second 
 meeting, March 22, 1872, the by-laws v/ere adopted and approved. The vil- 
 lage is situated on Indian River, and is a station on the R,, W. & O. and Utica 
 & Black River railroads, 18 miles from Watertown, 182 from Albany, and 
 224 from New York. It has telephone, telegraph, and American Ex;press 
 offices, a state bank, a weekly newspaper, three churches (Baptist, Congre- 
 gational, and Methodist), a graded school, two hotels, two general stores, one 
 music store, a drug store, dry goods and clothing store, variety store, jewelry 
 store, two boot and shoe stores, hardware store, a general and drug store, two 
 furniture stores, three stove and tinware stores, two grist-mills, one tannery,

 smith shops, a sash, door, and bUnd factory, a meat market, marble dealer, 
 livery stable, harnessmaker, two miUinery shops, two barber shops, two shoe- 
 makers, and about 1,000 inhabitants. The postofifice was established at 
 Philadelphia in 1822, with Edmund Tucker as postmaster, under whom the 
 office was located in his brick house at the north end of the settlement, the 
 present residence of George E. Tucker. 
 
 Sterlingville is a post village and station on the R., W. & O. Railroad, 
 in the southern part of the town, on Black Creek. It is 22 miles from 
 Watertown, 179 from Albany, and 321 from New York. It contains an 
 American Express office, two stores, one grocery, two blacksmith shops, one 
 saw-mill, one hotel, two churches (Roman Catholic and union), and about 
 40 dwellings. The postoffice at Sterlingville was established in 1839, George 
 Walton being the first postmaster. 
 
 In 1850 a postoffice was established at Whitney's Corners, on the Evans 
 Mills and Ox Bow plank road, in the west part of the town. The first post- 
 master was Carey Z. Eddy, who served one year, when he was succeeded by 
 W. M. Whitney. This office was discontinued soon after the opening of the 
 railroad. 
 
 PoGELAND, on the Antwerp and Sterlingville plank road, was established as 
 a postoffice in 1852, with Daniel Smith, postmaster. Mr. Smith soon after 
 died, and the office was discontinued for a short time, when it was reestab- 
 lished, with Theodore Cane as postmaster. The office was finally abolished 
 about 1855. 
 
 The Bank of Philadelphia 'fiss, oxgaxintA under the general banking law, 
 March 12, 1888, with a capital of $25,000. The present officers of the bank 
 are Daniel H. Scofield, president ; William Roberts, vice-president ; H. O. 
 Gardner, cashier; W. A. Markwick, assistant cashier and book-keeper. 
 
 William Roberts's lumber mills, at Philadelphia village, were established by 
 the present proprietor in 1882. They consist of two saw-mills, a planing and 
 shingle-mill, and lath-mill. They are run by water-power and two 60-horse-

 power steam engines, give ennployment to 70 men, and manufacture about 
 10,000,000 feet of lumber annually. 
 
 Joseph Essingtoris saw-mill, at Sterlingville, was bought by the present 
 proprietor in 1880. It is operated by water-power furnished by Black Creek,, 
 and has the capacity of cutting about 800,000 feet of lumber annually. 
 
 The Philadelphia cheese factory, on road 19, corner of Sand street, near 
 the bridge at Black River, is owned by William S. Keyes. It has a patron- 
 age of about 450 cows. 
 
 The lands composing the present town of Philadelphia were included in 
 Le Ray's purchase of January 4, rSoo. On February 16, 1804, Le Ray 
 "entered into an agreement with a company composed of Abraham Stock- 
 ton and Charles Ellis, of Burlington, N. J. (then Le Ray's place of residence), 
 and Mordecai Taylor, Thomas Townsend, John Townsend, Robert Comfort, 
 Cadwallader Child, Moses Comfort, Israel Knight, Benjamin Rowland, David 
 Evans, John Jones, and Jason Merrick, of the counties of Philadelphia, Mont- 
 gomery, and Bucks, in Pennsylvania, — all of whom, save the last named, 
 were Quakers, — to sell them 16 lots (7,040 acres) at the rate of $3 per acre, 
 payable in five installments, with six per cent, annual interest, and 10 per 
 cent, was to be discounted for cash. In consideration of the sale they were 
 also to receive, as a gift from Le Ray, a central lot (440 acres) ' for the pro- 
 motion of religion and learning ; that is to say, for the purpose of erecting 
 thereon and supporting a meeting-house for the society of people called 
 Quakers, and a school or schools for the education of children in useful learn- 
 ing, to be under the care and direction of said society, and of a monthly 
 meeting of said people, when such meeting shall be there established.' It was 
 stipulated that these lands should be of a quality equal to the four lots Nos. 
 629, 630, 631, and 632, near Le Raysville, which had been purchased the pre- 
 vious year by Joseph Child, Sr., and Moses Comfort, whose favorable 
 accounts of the advantages of the section in soil and climate had brought 
 about the present purchase. In case these lands should not, in the opin- 
 ion of Richard Coxe, Jacob Brown, and Jonas Smith, prove equal to those 
 named an additional quantity should be given to make good the deficiency. 
 The seller also agreed to make a wagon road from the St. Lawrence River, 
 running through the conveyed tract to the post-road at Champion, before 
 the first of the following December, The purchasers were required to agree 
 on a division of the lots among themselves before the 25th of the next April. 
 This being done the lands were conveyed to them by deed from Le Ray in 
 May, 1804. 
 
 " The central lot, donated for religious and educational purposes, was No. 
 61 r, embracing the present village of Philadelphia, and all the water-power 
 of the river at that point. The lots sold were Nos. 539, 540, 542, 543, 575, 
 576, 578, .S79, 643, 644, 646, 647, 674, 67s, 677, and 678. Eight lots 
 were reserved by the proprietor, viz.: Nos. 541, 577, 609, 610, 612, 613, 
 645, and 676. All the above named lots, 25 in number, together formed a 
 
TOWN OF PHILADELPHIA. 
 
 613 
 
 rectangular tract five lots in length, and the samfe number in width, of which 
 tract lot 611 was the exact territorial center; the conveyed lots lying in 
 four blocks of four lots each, one in each of the four corners of the tract, 
 while the reserved lots lay between these in the form of a cross. 
 
 "All that is now the town of Philadelphia was at that time a wilderness, in 
 which no blow of white man's axe had been struck, except by the surveying 
 parties of Brodhead ; and it was to explore this and to examine their pur- 
 chase that Cadwallader Child and Mordecai Taylor started northward in 
 May, 1804. In their company came Samuel Evans, who had visited Le 
 Raysville and vicinity in 1803. On leaving Albany they traveled on horse- 
 back to Brownville for a conference with Jacob Brown in reference to pro- 
 jected roads, after which, early in June, Mr. Child, with Michael Cofifeen, 
 Solomon Parker, Robert Sixbury, the hunter, and another assistant, but with- 
 out Mr. Taylor and Mr. Evans, who remained at Brownville, set out for Le 
 Raysville to follow Brodhead's marked lot-lines towards his objective point, 
 lot 611. He struck it at the south corner, then followed down Black Creek 
 to its junction with Indian River, and down the latter to the falls, where his 
 p^rty made a halt and built a rude cabin as a base of operations, near the 
 spot where the Philadelphia flour-mill now stands. From here he soon pro- 
 ceeded to explore and survey a route for a road to the St. Lawrence, which 
 he reached at a point above Alexandria Bay, and, passing down the riv€r, 
 noted the advantages of that place as an eligible site for a settlement, and for 
 the river terminus of the proposed road." Returning to lot 611 he pro- 
 ceeded thence to continue his road survey to the great bend of Black River, 
 after which he began a clearing on his lot No. 644, described in his biographi- 
 cal sketch further on. 
 
 Towards the end of the same year John Petty, who had settled in 1802 or 
 1803, in the present town of Le Ray, removed thence with his family to lot 
 672 in Philadelphia, he thus being the first actual settler in the town, and the 
 only one who remained through the winter of 1804-05. The land had been 
 purchased by him in 1803, and was afterwards embraced in the farm of John 
 T. Strickland, at Strickland's Corners, near Sterlingville. Daniel Cofifeen 
 commenced improvements on a tract adjoining or near Petty's during the 
 same fall, removing upon it early the following year. 
 
 " On the first of February, 1805, a meeting of the persons who had been 
 named as trustees of the central lot was held at the house of Israel Knight, 
 in Pennsylvania, at which meeting it was agreed and directed ' that a part of 
 the said tract be laid out in lots of 10 acres each, and that any person, or 
 persons, on condition of settling or clearing the same, and building a log or 
 frame house of 18 feet square on each of the lots within the term of four 
 years, shall be entitled to the said lot for the term of 10 years as a 
 compensation for their improvements; and it is Ukewise agreed that 
 the whole transaction of the business relative to the aforementioned tract 
 be intrusted with Robert Comfort, Cadwallader Child, Thomas Town- 
 
6 14 TOWN OF PHILADELPHIA. 
 
 send, John Townsend, and Jason Merrick, who are to act for and on behalf 
 of the whole.' And it was especially agreed that Thomas and John Town- 
 send should have the use for 20 years, rent free, of a tract of 15 or 20 acres, 
 sufficient to cover the falls of the Indian River, and for the erection of the 
 necessary buildings, upon the condition that they should erect thereon. a mill 
 for the general benefit of the prospective village and surrounding country. 
 
 " In the spring of 1S05 the Townsends arrived upon the lot, prepared to 
 commence operations. With them came Robert Comfort, Josiah Walton, 
 Thomas Coxe, Benjamin Gilbert, Thomas Gilbert, and Daniel Roberts. 
 Walton and the two Gilberts were in the employ of the Townsends, as were 
 also Warren Foster and his brother Andrew, who had arrived about the same 
 time. With this force they set to work, made a clearing at the site of the 
 proposed mill, built a dwelling house on this clearing, commenced work on 
 the dam, and built a bridge across the river, some 20 rods below where it is 
 now spanned by the iron bridges. During the summer and fall they com- 
 pleted the saw-mill and gristmill, — both being under the same roof, — and 
 also built a log house for John Townsend, nearly where the Eagle Hotel now 
 stands. The millwright employed in the construction of the mills was James 
 Parker. The grist-mill had one run of stones, manufactured from stone 
 quarried in the vicinity. 
 
 " Robert Comfort built a log house on the bank of Indian River near the 
 easterly end of Townsend's bridge, and this he opened as a house of enter- 
 tainment, — the first public house in the town, — which he kept until 1807. 
 Josiah Walton purchased on the reserved lot No. 645, upon which he em- 
 ployed John Hover and John Cofifeen, of Le Ray, to make a clearing at a 
 point near the north corner of the Curtis farm, and upon this clearing Cad- 
 wallader Child sowed wheat the same fall (1805). Another piece of wheat 
 was put in by John Townsend, and it is not known which of these two were 
 first sown, but Mr. Child's was the first harvested vc^ town (July, i8o6). Mr. 
 Child, in addition to his 440, took eight acres in the center lot, upon the rise 
 of ground embracing the spot where the postoffice now stands. Upon this 
 he caused a clearing to be made and a house of hewed logs to be erected in 
 the spring and summer of 1805, intending to make this his residence; but 
 his plans were soon after changed, and he sold the improvement to Silas 
 Walton. The block-house which he (Child) had built was sold to Thomas 
 Townsend, who removed and reerected it upon a spot now directly in front 
 of the residence of George E. Tucker. To this he moved his family early in 
 the following year. Upon the improvement purchased from Mr. Child by 
 Silas Walton the latter erected a small building from lumber cut by the 
 Townsend mill. It was the first frame building in town, and stood near the 
 spot now occupied by the store of Martin E. Aldrich & Son. John Town-

 send brothers, were the only inhabitants of the center lot during the winter 
 of 1805-06. 
 
 "Jason Merrick came in 1806, and located on his lot, No. 675, at the- 
 westerly end. directly opposite the place to which Cadwallader Child re- 
 moved, upon the easterly end of 644 ; this removal from his first clearing be- 
 ing on account of the laying out of the road running on lot-lines northeast 
 from Strickland's Corners into Antwerp. The families of Benjamin Gilbert 
 and Stephen Roberts also came in the spring of 1806. John Strickland, Jr., 
 came in 1807, but did not bring his family until the next year. Robert Com- 
 fort removed from his inn on the center lot to his farm in 1807, and in the 
 summer of that year lost two young daughters by death from a prevailing 
 fever. John, a son of Jason Merrick, died from the same cause, and these 
 were the first deaths which occurred among the settlers of the town. 
 
 " The first births were those of John, son of John and Asenath Townsend,. 
 February 14, 1807, and on the i6th of the same month Oliver, a son of 
 Cadwallader and Elizabeth Child. 
 
 "Joseph Bolton came with his family in the fall of 1807, took the house 
 which had been built by Robert Comfort, and continued it as a place of pub- 
 lic entertainment. In the spring of 1809 Ezra Comley settled on reserved 
 lot 64s, his farm being that afterwards owned by Seth Strickland. John 
 Strickland, Sr., one of the wealthiest of the settlers, arrived and purchased 
 the property of the Townsends at the Settlement, John Townsend removing 
 thence to his farm, and Thomas purchasing lands a short distance south of the 
 village, now the farm of Joshua Roberts. Mr. Strickland took possession of 
 the mills, and made his residence in the block-house built by Thomas Town- 
 send, to which, however, he was soon obliged to build an addition larger than 
 the original house. This was the first frame dwelling house in the settlement 
 and town, though there were other buildings of that construction built earher. 
 Mr. Strickland had a family of 1 1 children, 10 of whom reached maturity. He 
 was early a very large land-owner, first exchanging with Le Ray his farm of 
 300 acres in Bucks County, Pa., for a much larger tract here, to which he 
 added by purchase until he became the possessor of fully 5,000 acres, most of 
 which he lost, owing to the great depreciation of business values at the close 
 of the War of 181 2. 
 
 " The settlements on the center lot were not rapid under the system of 
 leasing in sub-divisions, and during the first 10 years an average of less than 
 10 acres per year were taken up. The trustees became weary and dis- 
 heartened, and on the formation of the Le Ray monthly meeting, in 1815,. 
 they requested that body to relieve them of their trust, which could not,, 
 however, be effected without an act of incorporation, and for this the meet- 
 ing would not petition. On April 11, 1816, a committee, consisting of 
 Daniel Child, Richard Hallock, William Barber, Joseph Child, Jr., John, 
 Strickland, Jr., and Joseph Hayworth, were appointed by the meeting tO' con- 
 fer with and assist the trustees in the management of the lot, which was,, in.

 , reality, an assumption of the direction of its affairs by the meeting. Four 
 .^.trustees were reappointed, and the fifth, Jason Merrick, who was not a mem- 
 ber of the Friends Society, continued to exercise the functions without re- 
 . appointment. Energetic efforts were made to lease the remaining portions 
 . of the central lot, and the system of leases in perpetuity was adopted ; but, 
 notwithstanding this, very little was accomplished, and it was fully 30 years 
 from the adoption of the short lease system before the last of these sub-divi- 
 sions was disposed of. The lands outside the central lot, however, being 
 open to absolute purchase, were settled with reasonable rapidity, and gen- 
 erally with a very excellent class of immigrants, who, at the end of 17 years 
 from the time of the first arrivals, had become ready, and sufficiently numer- 
 ous, to assume the responsibihties of separate township organization."* 
 
 Sometimes abstracts of accounts furnish historical data, and so, from the 
 books of Cadwallader Child, the following is given : 
 
 In 1805 Mr. Child had opened accountsf with Thomas Townsend and John 
 Petrie, who paid principally in work. In 1807 he first charged Robert Com- 
 fort, and February i, 1810, to a discount on a Vermont bank bill, 25 cents, 
 and credited him by one dozen pigeons, 25 cents. Under date of February 
 10, 1809, he charges Thomas Mosher " to 7 meals victuals and 3 nights' 
 lodging, 84 cents," and in December of the same year, 
 
 ■" To 9 daj's' board while cutting the road . , $193 
 
 " use of horse going to mill, &c., 3 days . . 75" 
 
 He credits the same man, " June 27, 181 1, by about three days' work with 
 horse at 25 cts., 75 cts." 
 
 In 1809 he had opened accounts with Benjamin Kirkbride, John Strickland, 
 Sr., and Samuel Tucker, and to the latter he charged, among other things, 
 under date of April 16, 1810, "to a Vermont State Bank bill returned, $2.00," 
 and Henry Tucker, to whom he charged 
 
 ' ■ 4th Month 30, 1810. To I34 day with both yoke of cattle, moving, at 56 cts. for each 
 
 yoke per day, being found keeping . . . SI 68 " 
 
 With Daniel Hunter, Henry Cooper, Joshua Winner, Nathan Goodale, 
 Jonas Allen, Gardner Hall, and John Bowdry he also opened accounts in 
 1809; in 1810 with Stephen Roberts, Solomon Parker, Thomas Ward, John 
 Jenison, Asher Seamen, Henry Cooper, and Sela Cooper; and in 1812 with 
 Warren Foster^ Ebenezer Page, and Nathan Dyke ; and against nearly all 
 accounts were one or more items charged for surveying. 
 
 Only a few items appear in this book as charged against Mr. Le Ray. 
 Among them, in 1809, are: —

 ferred to the earliest charge against Mr. Le Ray is in i8og, while it is well known his 
 .services began in 1804.

 It was voted at the town meeting of that year, " That there should be $10 
 raised to purchase a book-case to keep the town books and papers in." 
 William Strong was town clerk in 1838. 
 
 All of the foregoing were officers of the town more than half a century ago,, 
 but many of them have lived within the remembrance of the young men of 
 to day, and several of them continued to hold office for many years. 
 
 Early roads. — While yet a portion of Le Ray several of the most important 
 roads had been opened, but after the town was erected the first road surveyed 
 was the following : — 
 
 " Survey of a road from that leading by Jonathan MoBher's, viz. : Beginning in the center 
 of said road on the division line of lots No. 640 and 641, on a course N. 54° W. 14J^ rods. 
 Thence S. 54° E. 84J^ rods on the division line of lots No. 640 and 641, to the corner of lots No, 
 640, 641, 671, 672, and continuing on the line between 671, 672, to the center of the Bend road.

 " ^'°^^ BnoKLiN, 1 c„j^,^ ^j. Highways." 
 
 " James CsorooT, j 
 
 The second road was also surveyed by Cadwallader Child. The following 
 seven roads were surveyed by Aaron Child in the years 1824 and 1825. The 
 first road surveyed by Edmund Tucker was in 1825, May iSth, "from the 
 most westerly corner of lot No. 710 * * * to the most westerly corner of lot 
 No. 709.'' Following this, in 1825, two other roads were "laid" by the 
 commissioners, Samuel C. Frey and Samuel D. Whiting. The first road to- 
 be surveyed by OHver Child in this town was on November to, 1826, and 
 running as follows: — 
 
 "Beginning at the most S. E'ly corner of lot No. 673, thence N.36°E. on the line between, 
 lots No. 674, 705, 675, 706, 707, one mile 247 rods." 
 
 From 1827 to 1840 the roads were surveyed by Edmund Tucker, Cad- 
 wallader Child, Oliver Child, Daniel Child, Miles Strickland (the first by him 
 on December t8, 1830), Nathan Ingerson (the first by him February 18,. 
 1831), Aaron Child, Levi Miller (the first by him June i, 1833), David Miller 
 (the first by him September 27, 1834), Joel Hayworth (the first by him Febru- 
 ary 16, 1835), Gorham Cross (the first by him April 5, 1838), and William 
 Howland (the first by him September 5, 1840). Many of the surveys were for 
 changes, and in many cases the roads were " laid by us the commissioners." 
 
 Ear- marks. — After the erection of the town the following were some of 
 
 the ear-marks for stock recorded in 1822:— 
 
 John Strickland's mark is a hole in each ear. John Strickland, Jr.'s, mark is a crop off 
 the right ear. Alden Bucklin's, a crop off the right ear and two slits in the same. Jonathan 
 Mosher's, a crop off the right ear and a half crop off the underside of the left ear. David 
 Mosher's, a crop off the left ear and a slit in the right ear. Cadwallader Child's (1823), a crop 
 off the left ear and a slit in the same. WiUiam Allen's (1823), a half crop in the foreside of 
 the right ear and a slit in the end of the left ear. Stephen Mosher's (1825), a double swallow 
 fork in the right ear. Samuel Eogers's (1826), a half crop in the upper side of the left ear. 
 
 The last ear-mark appearing upon the record is that of George W. Town- 
 send, November 19, 1852, and was "a sht in the under side of the- 
 right ear."

 At the town meeting in 1840 it was voted "to raise $75, by tax, for the- 
 purpose of levelling, fencing, etc., the burying-ground, deeded to the inhabi- 
 tants of the town for that purpose, by the Society of Friends, and that said 
 society should be exempt from said tax.''

 A writer in a number of the Northern New York Journal, in 1863, speak-

 Over two-thirds of the area of the town was then a wilderness. There were 
 but six frame farm houses, none of them painted, and but two houses were

 Coolidge, whose erect but venerable form is yet an object of interest to his many friends in 
 Watertown. He lives in easy and quiet retirement with his daughter, and it is hoped he. 
 may be spared for many more years.

 painted in the village. The same writer, speaking of some of the early hard 
 laborers and jobbers who felled the forests, — without date, — mentions Andrew 
 Warren, Benjamin Foster, Benjamin Gilbert, Samuel and Harvey Copley, and 
 Thomas Mosher; and later came Alfred Coolidge, Duty G. Mosher, and 
 Gardner Clark. 
 
 The population at Quaker Settlement, as Philadelphia village was then 
 known, increased very slowly, and in 1828 the heads of families located there 
 were Edmund Tucker and Miles Strickland, proprietors of the flouring-mill ; 
 Piatt Homan, their miller ; Samuel C. Frey and Cyrus C. Dodge, both inn- 
 keepers ; Harvey Hamblin, John Cross, W. Mosher, shoemakers; James 
 Cromwell, cabinetmaker; Stephen Roberts, Orrin Cloyse, Elijah Comstock, 
 John Roati Justin Gibbs, Edmund Hall, Robert Gray, merchant, and suc- 
 cessor of Samuel Case who opened the first store in Philadelphia, corner of 
 Main and Antwerp streets, Seth Otis, also a store-keeper, Dr. Almon 
 Pitcher, and Horace Ball. The latter built the first fulling-mill and cloth- 
 iery, afterwards successively owned by William Comstock, Miles Shattuck, 
 and Hollis S. Houghton. Robert Gray built the first and only distillery in 
 Philadelphia, on the west side of the river, at the Settlement. 
 
 In 1828 a number of the Quakers in this town, headed by Edmund Tucker 
 and the Stricklands, became converts to the Hicksite doctrine ; but the Or- 
 thodox wing, supported by the meeting, retained control of the center lot 
 until the final settlement by quit-claim. 
 
 About 1835 symptoms of rebellion against the payment of rents began to 
 be manifest, caused by complications arising from the system of sub-leasing. 
 In 1838 a public meetmg was called at the village for the consideration of 
 measures tending to the abolishment of the system of leases. But Httle was 
 accomplished at this time ; the interest in the project continuing, however, 
 other meetings of similar character following, nearly every tenant participat- 
 ing, they being represented by a committee composed of John F. Latimer, 
 ■Samuel Rogers, and Jesse Smith. They having boldly declared their inten- 
 tion to pay no more rents, suits were brought against several of them ; but 
 these were afterwards withdrawn, probably on account of the firmness of the 
 defendants, and the prevailing sentiment among the friends in favor of the 
 anti-renters and against litigation. In March, 1844, the society petitioned for 
 a law authorizing the trustees to sell the center lot, which was referred by the 
 Senate to the attorney-general for an opinion, who decided " that it is not 
 competent for any court, or even the legislature itself, to add to or diminish 
 from the estate thereby created, or to change the ttature of the trust, or to 
 confer authority upon the trustees to convey the legal estate discharged of 
 this trust thus annexed to it." In consequence of this opinion the legislature 
 declined acting, and so informed the petitioners. This, however, did not pre- 
 vent a settlement of the difficulty. The lessees were willing to pay certain 
 -amounts, which were agreed on, and to accept quit- claim from the meeting, 
 ■which that body, on January g, 1845, directed the trustees to execute. About

 25 of these deeds were given, the tenants receiving them, paying all arrears of 
 rent up to April i, 1844. Two or three, who were members of the meeting, 
 declined to receive the quit-claims, preferring rather to hold their perpetuity- 
 leases at the extremely low figure of $1 per acre, or less, annual rent. And 
 thus ended this long and vexatious controversy. 
 
 About the time of the opening of the Sterling mines in Antwerp, in 1836, 
 iron ore was discovered in this town, in the northern part, on the line of 
 Theresa, in lots 343 and 344. It was worked to some extent in the furnaces 
 at Sterlingville, Carthage, Antwerp, and Redwood, a royalty of 50 cents per 
 ton being paid to Almon Fuller and Abial Shurtlefif, who owned the land from 
 which the ore was taken. It was a lean ore, and was used mostly as a flux in 
 the reduction of the Sterling and other rich ores. The requirements for this 
 purpose were comparatively small, and for many years the beds were not ex- 
 tensively worked ; but upon reaching greater depth the quality of the ore 
 was found to be improving, until it was ranked among the best ores of the 
 region. In 1867 the mines were purchased by the Sterling Iron Ore Com- 
 pany, of Syracuse, to which place, as well as to other points west, the ore was 
 shipped for reduction. The mine is not now in operation. 
 
 In 1836 James Sterling commenced the erection of a furnace on Black 
 Creek, in this town, for the purpose of working the ores from the mines in 
 Antwerp. This furnace was completed in 1837, and put in blast in June of 
 that year, the production for the first three months being 155 tons. In the 
 fall of that year Mr. Sterling associated with him Messrs. Orville Hungerford, 
 George Walton, Caleb Essington, and George C. Sherman, and with them 
 organized the "Sterling Iron Company," which continued until 1840, when it 
 went out of existence, and the "Philadelphia Iron Company" was formed, 
 composed of Ephraim Taylor, Fred Van Ostrand, George Dickerson, Will- 
 iam Skinner, and John Gates. The date of their incorporation under the gen- 
 eral law was May 19, 1840. The company rebuilt the furnace, and, having 
 operated it for some time without much success, ceased to exist, when Samuel 
 G. Sterling, a brother of James Sterling, became interested in the business 
 until 1859. From 1859 to 1869 it was carried on by A. P. Sterling, of 
 Antwerp, assisted by his brother, James, Jr., and then sold to the Jefferson 
 Iron Company, of Antwerp village, but until his death, in 1863, James Ster- 
 ling was the master spirit and prime mover in the iron manufacture here, and 
 at Antwerp and vicinity. All that now remains of this once important enter- 
 prise is the picturesque ruin of the old furnace. 
 
 Caleb Essington erected a forge at Sterlingville in 1839, where for a num- 
 ber of years he manufactured refined iron. The forge long since went into 
 disuse. 
 
 About 1815 Samuel Case opened a tavern in the Friends settlement upon 
 the site of the present Eagle Hotel. Mr. Case was the first landlord, and 
 was succeeded by Harvey Hamblin, and he by Samuel C. Frey. Among 
 other proprietors have been W. K. Butterfield, James Kirkbride, and Rus-

 sell Washburn and his sons George and Henry. The building was destroyed 
 by fire a number of years ago, when C. W. Hall erected the present elegant 
 Eagle Hotel, at a cost of about $20,000. The present proprietor is Earl L. 
 ■Comstock. 
 
 About 1825 a Mr. Crofoot opened a hotel on Main street, near the canal 
 bridge, in Philadelphia village. One of its first proprietors was Cyrus Dodge, 
 who was instantly killed by the bursting of a cannon, July 4, 1829. John 
 •Cross, Charles G. Bunnell, and William Mosher were successively proprietors 
 until 1834, when Daniel Rogers took possession. The latter continued as 
 landlord until after the civil war. The building has not been used as a hotel 
 for several years. At the station of the R., W. & O. Railroad is the Comstock 
 House, erected about 10 years ago, and now owned and conducted by Wil- 
 -son & Brown. 
 
 Rufus Hatch opened a hotel at SterHngville previous to 1840, and there 
 kept a pubHc house for many years. In 1841 Frederick Van Ostrand opened 
 the SterHngville House, now kept by Henry Ritter. Hotels were formerly 
 kept at Barber's Corners, two and one-half miles east of Philadelphia village, 
 and at Pogeland, near Antwerp line. 
 
 The first school in town was taught by Anna Comstock. It was opened 
 in 18 10, in a frame building which John Strickland had added to the block- 
 house purchased by him from Thomas Townsend. The Quaker meeting- 
 house, built in 1 8 ID, was also used as a school-house. Miss Comstock 
 •opened the first school in this building. 
 
 In 1831 the " Philadelphia library " was formed, the first trustees being 
 Edmand Tucker, Alvah Murdock, Henry W. Marshall, Joel Hayworth, John 
 F. Latimer, Samuel Rogers, Azel Danforth, Weden Mosher, and John R, 
 Taylor. It is not now in existence as an organization. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Friends organized meetings here soon after their settlement, and in 
 1809 built on the center lot a small frame house, which, in 1827, was set 
 apart for a school and a second house erected, 30 by 50 feet, at a cost of 
 $800, under the direction of Edmund Tucker, J. Strickland, Jr., J. Town- 
 send, and C. Child. In 1828 there occurred a division in the Friends Soci- 
 ety, a part becoming converted to the Hicksite doctrine, and after that the 
 orthodox and the Hicksite members usually held meetings at different stated 
 periods, the orthodox wing controlling the afifairs of the center lot until their 
 final settlement by quit-claim. The meeting-house was sold to the village 
 for a public school in 1869. 
 
 Philadelphia Congregational Church was organized as a Christian union 
 •church in 1859, with James Gregg as pastor. In 1868 it was reorganized 
 as a Congregational Church, with Josiah Newton as pastor. Their church 
 (building, a wooden structure, was built in 1859, and cost $2,000. In 1841

 they united with the Baptists in the erection of a church, in which each so- 
 ciety owned an equal share. It cost $i,6oo, and is now occupied by the Bap- 
 tists. A Congregational society was formed in 1841, with 13 members, by 
 Rev, N, Dutton, the first pastor, who continued as their minister for several 
 years. The trustees were Nelson Ackert, Milo Shattuck, Abijah Ford, Peter 
 Bethel, and Alvah Murdock. Before i860 the church was changed to Pres- 
 byterian, and so remained until 1868, when it was merged in the Congrega- 
 tional Church. In 1889 their house of worship was extensively repaired at a 
 cost of $2,000. It will seat about 250 persons. Rev. W. T. Stokes is the 
 present pastor. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church of Philadelphia was formed March 9, 
 1839, with William Powell, George Sim, Theodore Cross, Charles R. Sweet, 
 and Stephen Post, trustees. Soon after the society was formed they built a 
 ■church at Pogeland, owned by William Powell. The organization continued 
 until 1867, when it was merged in the society at Philadelphia village. This 
 latter society was organized in 1843, ^'th Sterling Graves, Richard Crabb, 
 Benjamin Allen, and Nelson Chadwick, trustees. Their house of worship 
 was erected the same year, at the southerly end of the village, on land pur- 
 chased of Elizabeth Mosher. In iS.i^S a larger lot was purchased of Jesse 
 Roberts, on the opposite side of the street, to which the church was removed, 
 and afterwards enlarged and greatly improved. It will seat 250 persons, and 
 is valued, including parsonage (erected in 1859) and other church property, 
 at $4,000. 
 
 The Baptist Church of Philadelphia was formed by 10 members, Novem- 
 ber 5, 1840. The organization was approved by a council from the churches 
 of Watertown, Le Ray, Antwerp, and Fowler. E. D. Woodward, Ehas 
 Roberts, Walter Colton, Jesse Smith, and Henry York were trustees of the 
 society, which was incorporated December 14, 1840. They first met for 
 worship in a barn, then for a few months in the school-house, and in 1841 
 joined with the Congregationalists in the erection of a union house, before 
 mentioned, located on Main street, which they became sole owners of by 
 purchase, about 1868, and now occupy. The first pastor of this church was 
 Rev. Ashbel Stevens. Rev. Hugh Hughs, who served as pastor during the 
 years 1888 and 1889, has recently resigned and removed to Great Bend, Pa. 
 The present membership of the church is about 70. 
 
 A Freewill Baptist society was organized at Whitney's .Corners, July 25, 
 1852, by a council of which Elder Samuel Hart, their first pastor, was moder- 
 ator, and Elder M. H. Abbey, clerk. For many years their meetings were 
 held in the Whitney school-house, but they subsequently purchased a half 
 interest in the building owned by the Baptists. Since Elder Samuel Hart 
 •their pastors have been William Whitfield, J. W. Hills, William Johnson, 
 J. J. Allen, B. F. Jefferson, William G. Willis, J. B. Collins, Henry Ward, 
 Joel Baker, and Mr. Bearing. 
 
624 TOWN OF PHILADELPHIA. 
 
 A union church edifice was built at Sterlingville in 1856, by an associa- 
 tion of citizens under the management of George Clark, Caleb Essington,, 
 and Thomas Delancy, trustees. It has been occupied by the EpiscopaHans^ 
 Universalists, Baptists, Methodists, Disciples, and others. The original cost 
 of the building was $1,800. At the present time the Episcopal Methodists, 
 and Protestant Methodists hold services on alternate Sabbaths. 
 
 The Disciples Church inaugurated meetings in this town soon after 1850, 
 their first preachers being Revs. Benedict, Oliphant, Bush, and others. In 
 1864 the church was organized with 22 members, under charge of Rev. Mr. 
 Parker, who remained in their service one year. Succeeding Mr. Parker 
 were Rev. Mr. Olin, Rev. John Hamilton, Rev. Mr. Goodrich, and Rev.. 
 John Bogg, the latter taking charge in 1877. Their meetings were held in 
 Sterlingville. The Disciples still retain their organization, but they have no 
 pastor. 
 
 .5"/. Mary's Roman Catholic Church at Sterlingville was organized in 1838, 
 under charge of Rev. Michael Gilbride. A house of worship was erected at 
 a cost of $500, on a lot donated by James Sterling, and was occupied for 
 about 10 years, when it was burned. In 1854, when Rev. Michael Clark 
 was in charge, a new building was erected on the old site, and in 1885 it was 
 removed to the present site. Rev. Father O'Niel then being in charge. It . 
 will seat 150 persons, and cost $1,000. Rev. F. M. Ambrose is the present 
 priest in charge. 
 
 St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Mission, at Philadelphia village, has been 
 recently organized, and from the summer of 1889 until January, 1890, Rev. 
 WilHam Bours Clarke, of Antwerp, held weekly meetings in Scofield hall. 
 The communicants number about a dozen, and the interest in the services 
 by the people warrant the hehef that the mission will grow in influence and 
 number of church members. 
 
 OLIVER CHILD, 
 
 Oliver Child, who was born February 16, 1807, (the second birth in that 
 part of Le Ray which later became the town of Philadelphia,) died February 
 28, 1878, at his home on a portion of the old farm whereon he was born. 
 His paternal ancestor, who immigrated from England to America in 1681, 
 bringing with him his young son Cephas, was Henry Child, a member of the 
 Society of Friends who settled under William Penn. As a copy of the deed 
 executed by William Penn to Henry Child is extant, the words of the text 
 in that old conveyance may not be uninteresting. It is as follows:— 
 
 " KNOW ail men by these pr-'sents, that I, William Penn, of Worming- 
 hurst, in the county of Sussox, Eg'd, have had and received of and from-

 In 1715 Henry Child, who was at that time " of the province of Maryland," 
 conveyed by deed of gift, " for the Love and affection he beareth to his son, 
 Cephas Child," all the land originally conveyed to him by William Penn, in 
 Pennsylvania, " and also 16 acres of Liberty land and two Lotts lying in Phila- 
 delphia which he, the said Henry Child, purchased of the said WiUiam Penn." 
 
 Cephas Child ' was a member of the Society of Friends, and in 1747-49 
 a member of the House of Representatives (provincial). He removed from 
 Philadelphia to Plumstead, Bucks County, Pa., in March, 1715, and was 
 married, in February, 17 16, to Mary Atkinson. About 1723 they had the 
 great misfortune to lose their first four children, who were burned in the 
 accidental conflagration of the homestead. They subsequently had five other 
 children, of whom Cephas Child, Jr.,' was born in 1727. He married, first, 
 about February 16, 1751, Priscilla Nay lor, and had eight children, of whom 
 Joseph Child ' was born in Plumstead, Pa., October 29, 1753, and married, 
 in 1780, Hannah Burgess, of Bucks County. He came to Jefferson County 
 in 1803, purchased about 1,200 acres of land, and in 1804 settled on " Child's 
 Hill," in Le Ray (road 79), where he died in 1829. From Joseph Child and 
 his wife, Hannah, sprang all the branches of the family who for many years 
 made their home in Le Ray, and some are there now. For his second wife 
 Cephas, Jr., married Mary Cadwallader, and their only son and child was 
 Cadwallader,' the head of the families of the name in Philadelphia, this 
 county. 
 
 Cadwallader Child'' was born August 18, 1776, in Plumstead, Bucks 
 County, Pa., and died in Philadelphia, N. Y., in 1851. He received a good 
 education for the time, and became a teacher, which vocation he followed 
 several years, in the meantime mastering the principles of land surveying, in 
 which he became expert. In 1800 he was married to Elizabeth Rea, daugh-

626 TOWN OF PHILADELPHIA. 
 
 ter of John and Jane (Forraan) Rea, of Philadelphia, Pa. She died at the 
 homestead in 1862, in the 90th year of her age. John Rea was the son of 
 an Irish gentleman, a member of the old Irish Parliament. He had been 
 educated at the University of Oxford, and upon his father's losing, through 
 unfortunate speculations, the bulk of his property John emigrated to America 
 and became a teacher. After marriage he became a soldier in the Revolu- 
 tion and fought in the battle of Brandywine, and later, during the war, 
 engaged as a privateersman, his vessel going to sea and was never heard of 
 more. 
 
 Cadwallader Child came to Brownville in 1804, by direction of James Le 
 Ray de Chaumont, to confer with his agent, Jacob Brown, relative to pro- 
 jected roads Mr. Child was to survey. He spent the summer months in 
 surveying roads from lot 611 (Philadelphia) to the St. Lawrence at Alexan- 
 dria, and selected the site of Alexandria Bay for a port j and by his recom- 
 mendation a mile square was set apart by Mr. Le Ray for that purpose. On 
 his way down he had passed to the southwest of the High Falls of Indian 
 River, but on his return he passed these falls, crossing the river where is 
 now the lower bridge in Theresa village. Here he examined the immense 
 water-power, marked it as a favorable site for the establishment of mills and 
 the building of a village, and so reported to Le Ray. He then proceeded to 
 survey a road from lot 61 1 (Philadelphia) to the great bend of Black River. 
 When this was completed the season was far advanced, and he entered upon 
 lot 644, which had been drawn by him in the assignment of tracts,* and here, 
 with the assistance of Samuel Child (his nephew) and Thomas Ward, he 
 made the first clearing and erected the first dwelling within the bounds of 
 Philadelphia. It was a log cabin, and the clearing was about four acres on 
 the small creek now in the southern part of the farm of his grandson, Lewis 
 John Child. Mr. Child returned to Pennsylvania, and came again with his 
 family (wife and sons Aaron and Joseph) the next season (1805) to settle for 
 life, and in July, 1806, he harvested the first crop of wheat grown in the 
 town. 
 
 Cadwallader Child held, frequently, the offices of highway and school com- 
 missioner, and for many years was a chief surveyor for Mr. Le Ray. His 
 children were Aaron^ born in i8ot, who died at the age of 85 years, in Phil- 
 adelphia; Joseph A.°, born in 1803, who died at the age of 78, in Manches- 
 ter, Iowa, at the home of his son Wattson, a prosperous farmer there; 
 OUver" ; Mary ', born in 1809, who became the wife of Amos Evans, and died 
 at the age of 76, in Le Ray; Gainor", born in 1812, who never married, and 
 died in 1847, '^ Philadelphia; and Naylor", who was born December 25, 
 1815, lived with his father on the farm until nearly 30 years of age, when he 
 went to Morley, St. Lawrence County, and for several years was engaged in 
 
 * Mr. Child, in company with 12 others, had purchased of Mr. Le Ray 16 lots of 440 
 acres each, which were divided by the persons themselves, by ballots drawn at random from 
 a hat.

 trade, and in rafting timber to Quebec, in company with his brother Oliver. 
 About 1848 he returned to Philadelphia, where he was married, in 1864, to 
 Julia R., daughter of Samuel and Rachel (Strickland) Rogers. He now re- 
 sides on a fine farm in Masonville, Iowa, where he has lived for nearly a 
 ■quarter of a century, and is the only child of Cadwallader now living. Nay- 
 lor's children are William Stanley, now of Syracuse, N. Y., Frank Henry, 
 Mary Annella (deceased), and Irving Howard. 
 
 Oliver Child ', third son of Cadwallader and EHzabeth (Rea) Child, was 
 born in Philadelphia, N. Y., February 16, 1807. In early life he was not 
 Tobust, and gave his attention to his studies more than to the hard work of a 
 pioneer's life. He taught school, and soon after attaining his majority 
 entered the employ of Mr. Le Ray. He was for a time English tutor of 
 James Le Ray de Chauraont, Marquis de St. Paul, the son of Vincent Le 
 Ray, and later became a well-known surveyor for Mr. Le Ray, doing duty 
 for many years in all portions of the lands, in this county and in Lewis 
 County, belonging to that extensive land-holder. He also purchased a tract 
 in Le Ray and Orleans, which he sold, in parcels, on his own account. 
 
 Mr. Child married, July 27, 1830, Edith, daughter of John and Elizabeth 
 Shaw, then of Bucks County, Pa., but a native of Philadelphia city, and their 
 •children were Elizabeth and Lewis John, both of whom died in childhood, 
 about 1837; Hamilton', born in Le Raysville, March 17, 1836, now a pub- 
 lisher, of Syracuse, N. Y.; Mary Jane ° (Mrs. Edward J. Stannard), born at 
 Carthage, August 6, 1838, now living near Philadelphia city; and Lewis 
 John', born (where he now lives) August 12, 1840, who enlisted in Co. C, 
 loth N. Y. H. A., in 1862, and served until his regiment was discharged, 
 several months after the close of the war, in 1865. He married, in 1867, 
 Lydia M., daughter of John Wait, of Philadelphia, and now owns and occu- 
 pies the homestead farm, being a part of that purchased by his grandfather, 
 Cadwallader, in 1804, and on which the first clearing in town was made. 
 
 After his marriage Ohver Child settled in Le Raysville, where he remained 
 until the land office was removed to Carthage, whither he went and lived till 
 about 1841, when he removed to his farm in Philadelphia, where his son 
 Lewis John now resides. His wife, Edith, died while on a visit to her friends 
 in Pennsylvania in 1842, and was buried in Doylestown. About this time 
 Mr. Child was engaged by William H. Harrison, of New York city, to take 
 the agency of his lands in St. Lawrence County, a position which he occupied, 
 with his headquarters and home at Morley. He married for his second wife 
 Eliza Shepard, of Norfolk, N. Y., a native of Vermont, September 12, 1844. 
 There was no issue from this marriage. Mr. Child resigned the agency for 
 Mr. Harrison and removed from Morley to Oswego, in 1850, to engage in 
 the forwarding business in company with his brother-in-law, Charles Shepard, 
 who was located at Ogdensburg ; but the business venture not proving profit- 
 able, it was abandoned, and the same year he removed again to his farm in

 Philadelphia, where he ever after resided, until his death, as before mentioned. 
 His widow survived till July 2, 1888, when she died, aged nearly 90 years. 
 
 Oliver Child was never a seeker after office — for one term only (1838) 
 being supervisor of Wilna. In politics a Whig, and later a Republican, he 
 was content to aid with his vote the success of his party. In religious faith 
 he was, until middle life, a member of the Society of Friends. He later 
 became an Episcopalian, his children also becoming members of the Church. 
 Always kind and gentle in his family, he had a pleasant word for everybody,, 
 and though in latter life delicate health prevented his taking an active part in 
 affairs he died possessed of the respect and esteem of a large circle of ac- 
 quaintances. 
 
 JAMES STERLING. 
 
 Few men in Jefferson County have acquired a reputation for pluck and 
 business energy, that led to remarkable success, beyond that accorded ta 
 James Sterling in the days when he was known as " the iron king of North- 
 ern New York." He was born in Norwich, Conn., January 25, 1800. His 
 father, Daniel Sterling, married Mary Bradford, a lineal descendant of Gov- 
 ernor William Bradford, of puritanic stock, and in 1802 he moved with his- 
 family to the town of Antwerp, then a part of Brownville. The first, or one 
 of the earhest, deed^ recorded in Antwerp was to Mary Bradford, and is a 
 part of the John R. Sterling property, situated north of Antwerp, about one 
 mile on the Gouverneur road. The early years of James Sterling were spent 
 upon the farm, and at clearing land in the vicinity of Antwerp. Without the 
 advantages even of a good common school education his mind expanded 
 and demanded a larger field of operations. In 1836 he purchased the Hope- 
 stil Foster land, which contained the afterwards, and now, famous Sterling, 
 iron ore mines, from which very many thousand tons of ore have been mined. 
 In 1840 he organized the Philadelphia Iron Company, and located a blast 
 furnace at Sterlingville, which place was named after him. Here the famous 
 cold blast charcoal pig-iron was made, which for years was known in the 
 markets as the " Sterling iron." In 1844 Mr. Sterhng estabhshed the second 
 blast furnace at Sterling Burg, about one mile easterly from Antwerp village, 
 and he soon after purchased the furnace property at Wegatchie, in St. Law- 
 rence County. In 1852 he purchased of Isaac K. Lippencott the entire vil- 
 lage, and 4,500 acres of land ii Lewis County, nearly 1 1 miles north of Car- 
 thage, known as Sterling Bush. His business had grown to be very extensive, 
 his pay roll at his different works embracing the names of as many as i,ooo- 
 men. 
 
 Mr. Sterling's physical stature was in proportion to his great intellect. 
 Standing six feet three inches in height, his weight was, at his best, 396 
 pounds. Of his 1 1 children seven are still living, namely : Mary B. (Ster- 
 ling) Clark, so well known in this county as a zealous Christian woman.

 -whose efforts have, among other things, resulted in the establishment of 
 Trinity Chapel at Great Bend, and of the Mission Chapel of the Redeemer 
 at Watertown; A. P. Sterling, James Sterling, Julia Sterling, Mills, Anto- 
 nette (Sterling) McKinly, who with her husband and children are living hap- 
 ipily at their home in London, England ; Rochester H. Sterling, and Joseph 
 Sterling. After many years of active life in this county, where the money he 
 had paid out for labor had helped hundreds of farmers to pay for their lands, 
 James Sterling died, at his residence in Sterlingville, July 23, 1863, at the 
 age of 63 years. As a fit ending of this brief sketch of Mr. Sterling's hfe we 
 quote from a writer in the New York Reformer, January 22, 1857, who dis- 
 courses of the prominent business men of the county: — 
 
 " He is truly one of the most useful great men of the Empire State, and one of whom the 
 Empire State may well be proud. It is such men as Mr. Sterling that raises the state to its 
 proud position among the sovereign states of the Union. He takes from the earth that which 
 is worthless in its primitive state, and converts it into the most useful of metalio substances." 
 
 The engraving we present of Mr. Sterling will be recognized by those who 
 knew him as a very faithful likeness. It was copied from an India ink 
 portrait.

 RODMAN. 
 
 RODMAN embraces No. 8, or " Orpheus," of the " eleven towns." It 
 was formed from Adams, March 24, 1804, under the name of "Har- 
 rison," and named in honor of Richard Harrison, one of the proprie- 
 tors. Its present name, which it received April 6, 1808, was derived from 
 Daniel Rodman, of Hudson, who served as clerk of the Assembly in 1808-09. 
 JBy an act of February 12, 1808, township No. 9 was erected into a separate 
 town under the name of Pinckney, and the county line so changed as to 
 pass around that town instead of across it, throwing the town into Lewis 
 County. The town is nearly square, measures a little more than six miles in 
 length, and contains an area of 22,597 acres. It is bounded on the north by 
 Watertown, on the east by Lewis County, on the south by Lorraine and 
 Worth, and on the west by Adams. 
 
 J_ The surface of the town is somewhat elevated, and more or less broken by 
 hills along the water-courses, which run in deep gorges or channels. There

 :are, also, several gulfs of great depth, and considerable width, and these aid 
 in giving the town excellent drainage. The principal stream is the north 
 branch of Sandy Creek, which enters the town near the northeast corner, and 
 flows through it in a southwesterly direction, passing out near the center of 
 its western line. Its principal tributary is the Gulf stream, which empties 
 into it near the village of Rodman. In the southern part of the town is Fish 
 Creek, and its tributaries, having a general westerly course. Some of these 
 -streams afford excellent water-power, and their distribution is so general that 
 nearly every part of the town is thoroughly watered. Numerous springs also 
 abound, which, together with the favorable condition of the soil, makes this 
 an excellent grazing region. The principal industry is dairying, although the 
 cultivation of grains is not unprofitable. The soil is loam, or sandy and 
 -clayey loam, and was originally covered with a fine growth of maple, beech, 
 and other varieties of timber, groves of which have been preserved on the 
 higher lands, while along the streams are belts of hemlock. Before the land 
 was cleared the timber products were the principal sources of revenue, sup- 
 plying many saw-mills, asheries, and tanneries. Dry Hill, in the northwestern 
 part of the town, having an elevation of several hundred feet above the gen- 
 eral level, contains indications of the existence of a series of fortifications, 
 -similar to those found in other portions of the county, evidences of the occu- 
 pancy of the territory by a prehistoric people. 
 
 At the first town meeting held in Rodman (then Harrison), at the house of 
 Simeon Hunt, on March 5, 1805, the following officers were chosen: Thomas 
 White, supervisor ; George H. Thomas, clerk ; Ozias H. Rawson, Cyrus H. 
 5tone, William Rice, assessors ; Jonathan Davis, Robert Stuart, poormasters ; 
 David Nickles, S. Hunt, Calvin Clifford, commissioners of highways ; Peter 
 Yandes, constable and collector ; George H. Thomas, John Fassett, fence 
 viewers ; S. Hunt, poundmaster. 
 The following account is taken from Spafford's Gazetteer of 1813:— 
 
 "In 1810 there were 214 families and 1,281 souls. There were four grain-mills, six saw- 
 mills, one fulling-mill, a carding machine, and three distilleries. There were no houses of 
 worship, but meetings were held in foui' school-houses, and a minister of the Congregational 
 ■order was settled in 1809." 
 
 From the same author's Gazetteer of 1824 we quote : — 
 
 "In 1821 the population was 1,735; taxable property, $117,428; 7,890 acres of improved 
 land; 2,308 cattle, 490 horses, 4,312 sheep; 17,976 yards of cloth made in families. There were 
 seven grist-mills, eight saw-mills, three fuUing-mills, two carding machines, five distilleries, 
 -■and six asheries." 
 
 In 1880 Rodman had a population of 1,517. The town is located in the 
 first school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 13 school districts, of 
 which one was joint, in which 24 teachers were employed 28 weeks or more. 
 There were 317 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days attendance 
 •during the year was 27,582. The total value of school buildings and sites 
 ■was $6,920, while the assessed valuation of all the districts was $594,722.

 The Rodman grist-mill, located on Sandy Creek, in the village of Rod- 
 man, was first built by Nathan Strong about the year 1810, a few feet west 
 of the present site. In 1850 the mill was purchased by M. Slaughter, thor- 
 oughly repaired and operated by him until 186 1, at which time O. M. Cooley, 
 now of Rochester, bought out Mr. Slaughter. The business was continued 
 by Mr. Cooley until 1879, when he sold a one-half interest to his cousin,. 
 Egbert Cooley. They remained in partnership for one year and 10 months, 
 when the property was destroyed by fire. The Rodman Milling Co., the 
 present owners, then purchased the site and erected the present mill, which 
 has three runs of stones, and is capable of grinding 250 bushels of grain daily. 
 O. R. Porter, who has been employed in the mill for over 20 years, still 
 has charge. 
 
 L. Washburn s tannery, situated on Sandy Creek, in the village of Rod- 
 man, was built in 1840, by Joseph Brown. Three years thereafter Mr. Brown 
 sold the property to Hiram Herring, who continued the business until his 
 death, which occurred in 1881, when it passed into the hands of the Hiram 
 Herring Tanning Company. This company had but a brief existence, for at 
 the end of two years from the time the company was organized the present 
 proprietor took possession of the property. The tannery at present turns - 
 out about 4,000 hides annually, and employs four hands.

 in the spring and summer of 1801, built log houses, and made small clearings. 
 Mrs. E. Moody joined her husband here in September of that year, and was 
 the first white woman to settle in the town. A few months later she gave 
 birth to a son, which was the first white child born in Rodman. The child 
 was named Walter Harrison Moody, for one of the proprietors of the town, 
 who promised 100 acres to the first-born child. The child died at the age of 
 three years, which was the first death in the town, before having received the 
 land; but Mr. Moody subsequently received a title to 50 acres. 
 
 In September, 1802, Timothy Greenly, from Litchfield, N. Y., purchased a 
 large tract, aggregating 2,669^ acres, in the southeastern part of the town, 
 and soon after located upon a portion of it, where he resided until his death, 
 February 19, 1852. Thomas White, also from Litchfield, came in 1802, and 
 settled on Sandy Creek, at what is now Whitesville. He moved west in 1810. 
 Daniel Todd, from Connecticut, settled near White's the same year. Will- 
 iam Dodge came in in 1803, and settled on lot 13. Reuben Smith also set- 
 tled on lot 13 the same year. He was an active man and built several mills. 
 In 1804 William Rice erected a saw- mill at Rodman village, and in 1806 a 
 grist-mill. 
 
 The books of the land-holders show the following additional names of those 
 who contracted for land under date of December i, 1804: Jesse Smith, Aaron 
 Moody, Horace Townsend, Thomas White, Joseph Nickles, Arnold Stone, 
 Nathan Whitman, Avery Wallsworlh, Joseph Dana, Titus King, Noah Davis,

 part of the town the Gateses were among the most prominent. Other well 
 known settlers were Ziba Buell, Stephen Cook, Jesse Wright, John Butter- 
 field, John Burton, Jacob Heath, Nathaniel Harrington, and Solomon, Joseph,

 Ansel Brainard, Benoni Edwards, Samuel Kelsey, Return Russell, Philo

 town ; in 1813, William Sill; and about the same time Abel Cole and Nathan 
 Strong, all becoming prominent in the history of Rodman, the latter two hav- 
 ing served as members of the legislature — Cole in 1818, and Strong in 1832. 
 •Cole was also a judge in 18 15. 
 
 The first inn-keeper in the town was Simeon Hunt, who located his tavern 
 at the mouth of Gulf stream, which was a prorament point along the Sandy 
 •Creek road, between Zoar and Whitesville. About a mile below Whitesville 
 Benjamin Sill kept a large frame hotel at an early day. This building was 
 yet standing a few years ago, though not in use. Dry Hill at one time was 
 considered of enough importance to have a store, which was conducted by 
 Michael Heustis and John Priest. The building they occupied was after- 
 wards utilized as a wood-house by one of the thrifty residents. 
 
 The first school in town was taught in the summer of 1803, in Anson 
 Moody's barn, by Miss M. Nobles. A number of log school-houses were 
 erected the next year, which were used until they gave place to a better class 
 •of buildings. In 1840 the citizens of Rodman, at a cost of $1,200, which was 
 raised by subscriptions, built a seminary, which was given the name of Rod- 
 man Union Seminary. After a number of years of prosperity the seminary ran 
 into a decline and was finally discontinued, the building being occupied by 
 the public school for a time, when the property finally reverted to the heirs of 
 Nathan Strong. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The first religious services in the town, it is said, were conducted in the 
 •summer of 1802, by Rev. Mr. Woodward, a missionary, who on a week day 
 preached to a small audience at the cabin of Anson Moody. 
 
 Rodman Congregational Church, located at Rodman village, was organized 
 September 22, 1805, by Rev. WilUam Lazelle, a missionary, and at its organ- 
 ization consisted of the following members : Nathaniel Nichols, Reuben 
 Tremaine, Aaron Loomis, Nathaniel Crook, David Coy, Laura Tremaine, Sally 
 Loomis, and David Bishop. In July, 1806, Mr. Lazelle received into mem- 
 bership of the church Jesse Wright, Lydia Wright, Wilham Dodge, Lydia 
 Dodge, Martin Standlif, and OUve Standlif, the whole number of members at 
 this time being 14. This was really the pioneer church in all this region. 
 The church in Adams was formed in 1804, but no minister was permanently 
 settled there until 181 1, and in Watertown no minister was located until 
 1814, when the people of that town united with those of Rutland in the sup- 
 port of a clergyman. The first regular pastor of this church was Rev. David

 Spear, who preached his first sermon in Rodman on the second Sunday of 
 August, 1808, was installed as pastor September 13, 1809, and continued in 
 the pastorate of the church, with the exception of two years in Smithville, two- 
 in Rutland, and two in Denmark, for more than 55 years. Previous to Mr. 
 Spear's ministry Rev. Mr. Priddle and Rev. Mr. Vale labored here, but the 
 exact time of their services cannot now be ascertained. For 10 years after 
 its organization the church was without an edifice, and its meetings were held 
 in school-houses in winter and in barns in warm weather. The first church 
 building, a wooden structure, was erected in 1815. It was 38 feel wide and 
 50 feet long, and its spire was about 85 feet high. For a number of years it 
 was used without any means of warming, except as individuals brought their 
 own foot-stoves. The church was repaired in 1830, and again in 1843, and 
 in 1849 it was finally abandoned. In 1851 the present house of worship was- 
 erected, and in 1877 received extensive repairs, the vihole cost aggregating 
 about $7,000. It will comfortably seat 350 persons, and is now valued, in- 
 cluding grounds and other church property, at $8,000. In 1854 a chapel 
 was erected in the rear of the church at a cost of several hundred dollars. 
 The church now has a membership of ir5, under the pastoral charge of Rev, 
 Charles A. Redgrave. The Sunday-school has a membership of 120, with an 
 average attendance of 85. 
 
 The First Alethodist Episcopal Church of Rodman and Whitesville villages- 
 has a house of worship in each village. A class was organized in 1804, the 
 members being Anson and Epaphras Moody, John Fassett, Richard Dye, 
 \lpheus Nichols, Thomas White, Peter Yandes, and Ebenezer Blackstone. 
 i'.ev. Isaac Puffer, George Gary, Elisha Wheeler, Lewis Whitcomb, and 
 Giles and John Dempster preached in a log school-house, and being driven 
 out held services in John Fassett's kitchen, midway between Rodman and 
 Whitesville. In 1829 the several classes in town were organized into a cir- 
 cuit. The first Methodist meeting in Rodman village was held in 1847, by 
 Rev. Elisha Wheeler, in an old red school-house which stood on the site of 
 the present school building. The same year a subscription was raised, 
 ground purchased of W. D. AUport, and the frame of a church erected. This 
 church was completed in 1849 ^"^ dedicated by Bishop Jones. The first 
 class consisted of John P. Billings, Alanson Kinney and wife, C. D. Moffitt 
 and wife, James Brown and wife, and Mrs. Thomas Field, the first named of 
 whom is still hving. The first Sunday-school was organized in 1847, with 
 John P. Billings as superintendent. The first regular pastor of the church in 
 this town, of which we have record, was Rev. Alexander Erwin, who was 
 located here in 1821. The first house of worship was erected in 1829, of 
 wood, without steeple or paint. The present church building in Whitesville 
 was erected in 1858, at a cost of $2,500. It will comfortably seat i8o per- 
 sons, and is now valued, including grounds, etc., at about $3,000. The Sun- 
 day-school in Whitesville was organized in 1857, and O. D. Hill was the first 
 superintendent. The present house of worship in Rodman will comfortably

 rededicated by Bishop Peck. The present membership of the two churches 
 is 160, under the pastoral charge of Rev. C. E. Miller. The Sunday-school 
 has 157 members and 28 officers and teachers, with J. P. Billings, of Rod-

 an example worthy of emulation.

 Joseph Woodman, M. D., was born in the -village of Salisbury, N. H., March 5, 1785. His 
 father, Benjamin Woodman, was a farmer of limited means who found it diflcult to rear and 
 maintain his large and growing family upon the rugged hills of the Granite state. In 1808 he- 
 moved to Irasburg, Vt. , where he continued in the occupation of farming. Joseph Woodman 
 was then a young man of 22 years. He was educated in the common schools, and taught- 
 several terms before he was 24 years old. He also taught singing school. Soon after 
 attaining his majority he commenced the study of medicine, and attended the medical school 
 at Fairfield, N. Y. Graduating from that institution, he returned to Irasburg and prac- 
 ticed until August, 1812, when war was declared and he turned his attention to military 
 service. Leaving home he journeyed via Walden, Barre, and Stockbridge to Eutland, Vt., 
 thence via Fort Ann and Saratoga to Johnstown, N. Y., and thence to Albany, where he was 
 appointed surgeon's mate in the Scoharie regiment, commanded by Col. Eich. The regiment 
 embarked at Schenectady and proceeded up the Mohawk as far as Utica, then marched by land 
 to Sacketa Harbor. The Doctor continued with the regiment six months, and was discharged 
 February 22, 1813, but continued with them until March 17th, when he was appointed surgeon 
 of the first regiment of the United States volunteers. He remained at Sackets Harbor as sur- 
 geon until the War of 1812 closed. During the battle of Sacketa Harbor he left his tent, 
 musket in hand, and fought in the ranks until hia services were required to attend the 
 wounded . While stationed here he made several trips to Oswego and Buffalo, and one to Detroit, 
 the latter being then little more than a French trading post. After receiving his discharge 
 paper, signed by Gen. Macomb, he, in company with an old army friend, Eichard Goodell, 
 went to the latter's home in Adams, where they remained some time resting from the cam- 
 paign just closed. They then went to Whitesville, now East Eodman, on Sandy Creek. 
 Whitesville was at that time a little hamlet of scarce a dozen houses. Among the principal men 
 of the place was Elias Slocum, a merchant, who later became noted as the man who captured 
 John Van AUatine, at Buffalo, the murderer of William Huddleston. Daniel Todd was another

 representative man, a BhoemaUer; Peter Yandes, a merchant and farmer. In this village Dr.. 
 Woodman bought a house and lot and commenced the practice of his profession, being th e 
 first doctor to locate in Whitesville. His cotemporaries were Dr. Wood, five miles west of the 
 rillage, and Dr. Converse Johnson, who lived six miles east. Dr. Woodman being a bachelor- 
 he boarded for a time with Ebenezer Blaokstone. January 16, 1816, Dr. Woodman was united in 
 marriage to Sally Wright, sister of Mrs. Blaokstone, by Bev. David Spear. The Doctor and wife 
 began house-keeping, he continuing his medical practice some time, teaching district school in 
 the village or in Tylerville. Many and varied were the trying experiences of those pioneer 
 people in that community. Pages might be fiUedwith interesting incidents— some humorous, 
 but often pathetic and painful. At this period (1816-17) occurred that memorable year known 
 !i.B the cold season. During these years heavy frosts occurred in midsummer, with flying snow 
 and cold winds. Scarcely enough of the farmers' crops matured for their own subsistence, 
 suffering and want prevailing where plenty and cheerfulness had heretofore obtained. 
 
 It chanced one morning in June, 1818, Dr. Woodman was told by his wife that nothing 
 remained in the house to eat but a few dry beans. Hearing this he quickly mounted his horse, 
 and with his pill bags under him started to make the rounds of his patients. After visiting 
 several he called at the house of Daniel Kinney, where he made known the condition of his 
 family. Mr. and Mrs. Kinney were deeply touched at his story, and although they had neigh- 
 bors in the same pUght Mrs. Kinney gave the Doctor a "rye 'n' injun " loaf of bread just drawn 
 from the oven, a pUlow case full of flour, and a small roll of butter, they having no meat of 
 any kind in the house. After leaving Kinney's the Doctor visited a patient at Mr. Stillman's. 
 Here he saw hanging in a plum tree the carcass of a sheep just slaughtered. Mr. Stillman 
 told the Doctor he had promised a half dozen neighbors a piece of that sheep, but that he 
 should surely have a part of it. Concluding his visit here Dr. Woodman mounted Ms horse 
 for home, carrying in his arms bread, butter, mutton, sack of flour, and a small bag of salt, 
 which his wife prepared, and their hunger was soon appeased. In 1827 Dr. Woodman sold his 
 property in WhitesviUe and removed with his family to Pinckney, Lewis County, where he- 
 bought a small farm, his sons then being old enough to assist him in working it, while he still 
 followed his profession. In 1837 he sold his farm, and with his wife and six children emigrated' 
 to Oakland County, Mich., being 19 days on their journey from Sackets Harbor to 
 Detroit. Arriving at Novi, Oakland iCounty, he rented a log cabin, where he spent the sum- 
 mer, following his profession, his sons working out by the day or month. In September he 
 bought an 80-acre farm in Novi, to which he moved his family. He now commenced hfe 
 again in a home of his own, on a partly cleared farm in a rich and fertile country. He resumed 
 practice, but soon fell a victim to malarial fever, and died August 15, 1838. 
 
 Joseph Woodman was a man of strict and unswerving integrity, a kind husband and 
 father, a regular attendant of the house of God, where for many years he led the singing. As 
 a physician he was very successful and very popular, having a pleasing address, and a never- 
 failing fund of humor, which brought cheer and encouragement to the sick-room. In politics 
 he was a Democrat of the Jefferson-Jackson school, and voted for every Democratic President 
 from the time he cast his first vote to his last for Martin Van Buren. Though in no sense an 
 office-seeker, he acceptably filled various of&ces of honor and trust, both in township and 
 county. Dr. Woodman left a widow and six children, five sons and one daughter. The four 
 eldest sons are living: the eldest, E. S. Woodman, is a lawyer in Northville, Mich.; the second, 
 WiUiam W., is a, lawyer in Johnston Creek, Wis.; the next two brothers are farmers in Ionia 
 County, Mich. ; and are all well situated and honoredcitizens in their respective localities.

 Ebenezer S. Porter settled in the town of Rutland about 1805, locating near Tylerville, 
 where he cleared a farm, and where he resided until his death. He had a family of one eon 
 -and four daughters. Richardson Porter, son of Ebenezer S., was born in Rutland, where he 
 married Sarah, daughter of John Scidmore. In 1840 he removed to Rodman village, where 
 he carried on blacksmithing until his death in 1843. He had three children, namely: Horatio 
 -S., a farmer, Oliver R., a miller, and Elizabeth S. (Mrs. N. G. Cooley), all of whom reside in 
 this town. 
 
 George L. ButterfiWd, son of Jehiel and Elsie M. (Wyman) Butterfleld, was born in Wat- 
 ertown in 1834, came to Rodman in 1859, and bought the Ora Cooley farm, on which he now 
 resides. He married Anna R. North, June 17, 1874. Mr. Butterfield has been justice of the 
 peace, and a member of the town board, for 20 years; was reelected for ^another term, hut de- 
 clined to serve. He was one of the drafted men in the late war, but owing to circumstances 
 could not go, and paid iSOO to the government. His grandfather, Zachariah Butterfield, was one 
 of thefirst settlers of Watertown, and took up 100 acres of land where Washington hall now stands. 
 He was also a captain of militia. Mr. Butterfield's mother was one of the earliest white chil- 
 ■dren born in town, her birth occurring December 22, 1805. She is now 83 years of agei 
 and has had six children, five of whom lived to maturity. The eldest, Robert Wyman Butterfield, 
 prepared for college, but in 1851, two years after gold was discovered in California, he re- 
 moved to that state. He took an active part in the political canvass for John C. Fremont in 
 1856, and was the choice of the Republican leaders in his district for member of Congress, 
 but died before the election. 
 
 John Scidmore, Sr., located in Saratoga County, N. Y., at an early day. John Scidmore, 
 Jr., located in Pinckney, N.Y., before the War of 1812, and participated in the battle of Sackets 
 Harbor. He married Abigail Colomore, and in 1823 located in this county, dying in Rutland. 
 Anthony Scidmore, son of John, Jr., was born in 1816. In 1844 he married Sarah Wilcox, of 
 Rutland, and located in the southeastern part of that town. He had three children, namely; 
 Franklin, who served in the 10th N. Y. H. A., and died on Staten Island; Solomon, who lives 
 at Whitesville village, in this town ; and James H. , of Brownville. Upon the death of his wife, 
 in 1859, he married Sarah Gardner, of Rodman, in 1860, and in 1871 removed to Whitesville, 
 where he now resides. 
 
 George W. Smith, a resident of South Rutland, married Jennette A., daughter of Waiiam 
 ■Oakcs. Their son, Herbert L. Smith, born in Rutland, in 1863, was educated at Antwerp 
 Academy. He studied medicine with Dr. J. H. Tamblin, of Copenhagen, attended the Medi- 
 cal University at New York, and graduated from the Medical University of Buffalo, in the class 
 of 1888. He married Florence Isabel, daughter of Nathaniel and Juliette (Schuyler) Lewis, 
 April 14, 1886, and practiced his profession in Lorraine until he removed to Rodman, where 
 lie now lives. 
 
 RUTLAHD. 
 
 RUTLAND, embracing its present limits, or township No. 3 (" Milan") 
 of the "eleven towns," was taken from Watertown, April i, 1802. 
 The name of the town was selected at a meeting held for that pur- 
 pose and suggested by settlers from Rutland in Vermont. It lies upon the 
 
 Note.— In 1876 Elijah Graves, Luman D. Olney, and Henry T. Hopkins prepared an 
 excellent historical sketch of the town of Rutland, which has since remained in manuscript 
 in 1794, and came to this town in 1817, where he purchased of Elder Johnson a farm in the 
 form. That sketch has been freely used in preparation of this article. — Editok. 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 655 
 
 south bank of Black River, east of the center of the county, and is bounded 
 on the north by Le Ray, east by Champion, south by Lewis County and a 
 part of Rodman, and west by Watertown. The surface of the town consists 
 of a narrow river valley on the north, a terraced plateau in the center, and a 
 hilly region in the south. The central plateau, embracing the greater part 
 of the town, is 300 or 400 feet above the fiat country farther north, and it 
 descends by a succession of sleep declivities to the level of the river. It is 
 underlaid by Trenton limestone. Upon the south the surface gradually rises 
 to the summits of the slate hills which occupy the south part of the county. 
 A remarkable valley, known as " Rutland Hollow," extends through the town 
 upon the lower terrace of the plateau, parallel to the river. It is deeply 
 excavated in the limestone, and appears like the bed of an ancient river. 
 Another smaller and deeper valley extends in the same direction across the 
 summit of the plateau, and forms the bed of a deep, narrow lake. Pleasant 
 Lake, Champion, is situated in the contmuation of this valley. These valleys 
 and terraces seem the result of abrasion rather than upheaval. Upon the 
 edge of the terrace, 100 feet below the summit, may be seen the ancient lake 
 ridge before mentioned. The soil is a very fertile loam upon the plateau, 
 and a sandy loam upon the river. The town has an area of 27,238!^ acres. 
 
 The first town meeting held within the limits of Jefferson County was 
 organized at the house of Asher Miller, near Rutland Center, March 14, 
 1800. The records of the town of Wateitown previous to 1805 having been 
 burned, we have no list of the officers elected at that meeting. The first 
 town meeting for Rutland was organized at the house of David Coffeen and 
 adjourned to the house of Levi Butterfield, on Tuesday, March 7, 1803. 
 The following officers were chosen, viz. : Henry Coffeen, supervisor ; Jacob 
 A.Williams, town clerk; Levi Heath, Solomon Thompson, and Gershom 
 Tuttle, assessors; Benjamin Edde, constable and collector: Levi Butterfield 
 and Daniel Evans, poundmasters; CHft French, Doctor Phillips, and Peter 
 Cook, fence viewers; Levi Heath, Thomas Duntin, Frederick Tyler, Stephen 
 Commins, John E. Howard, Stephen Ellice, Richmond Howland, Isaiah Bab- 
 cock, Nathaniel Welch, Wolcott Hubbel, Thomas Lee, and Chandler Maltby, 
 pathmasters; Joseph Underwood, Mathias Howk, and Thomas Lee, deer 
 reeves; John Smith, Clift French, David Coffeen, Perley Keyes, Chauncey 
 Rawson, Zelotus Harvey, and Asher Ward, hog reeves. 
 
 Previous to 1830 justices of the peace were appointed by the Governor and 
 Council. We have not been able to ascertain who first received appoint- 
 mentSj but among those who served as justices were Zelotus Harvey, Daniel 
 Eames, Perley Keyes, Ethel Bronson, Archibald Clark, Joseph Graves, Levi 
 Hale, and Merril Coburn. At a special town meeting held for the purpose 
 at the house of Jonathan Porter, July 5, 1813, William Brown, Jonathan 
 Smiley, and Abel Doolittle were elected commissioners of common schools 
 in place of Ethel Bronson, Amos Stebbins, and Judah Williams ; and Josiah 
 Massey, Timothy Tamblin, Obed Weeks, Ethel Bronson, and Robert Mid-

 dleton, inspectors of common schools. In 1806, at the annual town meeting, 
 Ethel Bronson was elected supervisor, but at his request was excused, and 
 Perley Keyes was elected to fill his place. In Hough's History of Jefferson 
 County Mr. Keyes's name does not appear as a supervisor of Rutland. 
 
 From Spafford's Gazetteer of 18 13 we quote : — 
 
 " In 1810 the population was 1,712, There were four saw-mills, two grist-mills, a distil- 
 lery, and several mills, etc. There are about 60 framed dwelling houses, 85 framed barns, 
 four framed school-houses, aud four merchants." 
 
 The same author's Gazetteer of 1824 says of this town in 1821 : — 
 
 " There are three houses of worship, and 10 school-houses in which schools are kept eight 
 months in 12. The population is 1,946; taxable property, $153,296; acres of improved land, 
 10,003; 2,946 cattle, 551 horses, 6,461 sheep; yards of cloth made in families, 23,895. There 
 were three grist-mills, six saw-mills, three fulling-mills, two carding machines, five distilleries, 
 and four asheries." 
 
 In i88o Rutland had a population of 1,796. The town is located in the 
 second school distlict of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 13 school dis- 
 tricts, in which the same number of teachers were employed 28 weeks or 
 more. There were 329 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days 
 attendance during the year was 26,989. The total value of school buildings 
 and sites was $6,425, while the assessed valuation of all the districts was 
 $811,755. The whole amount raised for school purposes was $2,857.67, of 
 which $1,389.10 was received by local tax. Truman C. Gray was school 
 commissioner. 
 
 Black River (p. o.) is situated on the river from which it derives its name, 
 and is a thriving little village, containing about 40 dwellings on the Rutland 
 side and a larger number in the town of Le Ray. It has quite extensive 
 manufacturing interests already, with a prospect of more being added. The 
 Dexter chair manufacturing establishments are located here, whose reputation 
 is not confined to this country, but extends to Europe and countries of the 
 East. The Watertown Paper Company has erected a large paper and pulp- 
 mill on the south bank of the river, and another firm is contemplating put- 
 ting up similar works on the " island." It also contains a grist-mill, cabinet 
 shop, bending shops, planing-mill, blacksmith shop, three stores, and two 
 churches. It is a station on the Utica division of the R., W. & O., six miles 
 from Watertown, 181 from Albany, and 323 from New York, has express, tel- 
 ephone and telegraph offices, and a population, on both sides of the river, of 
 about 700. 
 
 Rutland Center (Rutland p. o.), situated on the old State road in the 
 central part of the town, is a little hamlet of a half dozen houses, and con- 
 tains a blacksmith shop, blacksmith and wagon shop combined, and a hotel, 
 the latter of which was the first built in the town. 
 
 TvLERviLLE (South Rutland p. o.), situated in the south part of the town^ 
 contains one hotel, two stores, two churches, two wagon shops, two black- 
 smith shops, and about 25 dwellings. The first woolen-mill north of the city 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 657 
 
 of Utica was erected here in 1 814, by a stock company, of which Daniel 
 Eames was president and Eber Ingalsby, secretary. The building now stands 
 unoccupied, and is in a dilapidated condition. The first frame building built 
 in the village is now the kitchen of Mr. Scott's hotel. 
 
 Felt's Mills (p. o.), so named from a grist-mill owned by Mr. Felt in 
 early times, is a small village containing about 15 dwellings, one church, one 
 hotel, three stores, one blacksmith shop, a wagon shop, grist-mill, saw-mill, 
 and cheese-box factory. The building occupied as a pump and axehelve 
 factory was built by Jason Francis in 1845, and is used by two companies,. 
 Roberts & Slack, whomanufactureaxehelves, and Hiram Rowland, whomanu- 
 factures pumps. 
 
 On October 24, 1889, the village of Felt's Mills was visited by a disastrous 
 fire which destroyed the business part of the village. The buildings burned 
 were: the glove factory, axehelve factory and pump shop, grist-mill, furniture 
 and repair shop. Good Templars hall, Mary Lamark's dwelling, W. S. 
 Cooper's store, Charles Tifft's dwelling and confectionery store, Hiram 
 Allen's grocery, M. M. Parker's general store, in which was kept the post- 
 office, S. W. Foster's general store, and a blacksmith shop. The loss was 
 about $10,000, Since the fire several new houses have been erected, E. M. 
 Marshall has built a new store, and Henry Marshall & Son a glove factory 
 building. The Felt's Mills Paper Co. is now engaged in the erection of 
 buildings for its extensive business. The .buildings already up and inclosed 
 are the engine house, dimensions 43x163 feet ; two machine rooms, each 
 36x152 feet; boiler house, 34x45 feet; pump house, 31x59 feet; finishing 
 room, 33x102 feet; storehouse, 40x97 feet; rag room, 40x73 feet; and 
 chloride room, 20x23 feet. The buildings are all of brick, one story high, and 
 cover considerable ground. During the past season over 150 men have 
 found employment and 50 are now at work. A huge pulp-mill, 65x200 feet, 
 will be erected this spring. The new paper company practically controls all 
 the water privileges on the river at Felt's Mills. 
 
 Dexter &• Co. — In 1880 Christopher Poor and D. E. Dexter, who were 
 engaged in the manufacture of bent chair stock, with works located on the 
 " island," in the village of Black River, in the building now occupied by 
 Wolcott Brothers, as a planing-mill, commenced in a small way the manufacture 
 of the " Dexter rocker," under the firm name of Poor & Dexter. Their 
 operations began in the spring, and in the following fall D. E. Dexter dis- 
 posed of his interest in the concern to Charles Woulf and Charles P. Dexter, 
 and the business was continued under the firm name of Poor, Dexter & Co. 
 With them the business began rapidly to increase, and their chairs found a 
 ready market it all parts of the United States and Canada. In the spring of 
 1884, on account of the failing health of Charles P. Dexter, his brother, 
 Henry C. Dexter, was admitted into the firm, the name of which remained 
 the same, and in the spring of 1885 Poor and Woulf retired from the com- 
 pany and were immediately succeeded by D. H. and R. Byron Scott, when 
 
658 TOWN OF RUTLAND. 
 
 the firm was known as Dexter & Scott. February 10, 1886, the Scotts 
 retired b}' selling their interests to Charles P. and Henry C. Dexter, since 
 which time the firm name has been Dexter & Co. 
 
 In the summer of 1884 Charles P. Dexter's health failing, he went to 
 DansviUe, N. Y., and thence to Texas, where he remained for about a year, 
 but experiencing no beneficial results from that climate he went to Southern 
 Cahfornia in the hopes that there might be found a panacea for his weakened 
 constitution. Here, also^ he was disappointed, and on May 3, 1886, nearly 
 two years after leaving home, at San Gorgonia, the highest point on the 
 Southern Pacific Railroad, he died. As a member of the firm he developed 
 a tact for doing business very rarely found in one of his age, and the firm's 
 success is largely due to his management of the office work and general de- 
 tails of the business. Since the death of Charles P. the business has been 
 conducted by Henry C. Dexter, retaining the same name. Soon after the 
 business was started the company occupied the ball-room of the old McOm- 
 ber hotel, at the four corners south of the river, for finishing, upholstering, 
 and packing, and as it increased the whole building was appropriated for 
 their use. In 1884 the main building was doubled and the barns were taken 
 in, making a floor space of 14,000 square feet. The whole buildings as they 
 now stand, including the woodworking shop on the north side of the river, 
 occupy a floor space of about 25,000 square feet. The main building of the 
 finishing shop is 30x120 feet, arjd that of the woodworking shop 30x110, 
 both of which are three stories high. The company gives employment to 
 about 50 men, and turns out nearly 30,000 chairs annually. Their goods 
 find a market in all parts of the world, and their business is still rapidly on 
 the increase. 
 
 D. Dexter's Sons. — David Dexter, a carpenter and joiner by trade, came 
 to the village of Black River in the year 1837, from Athol, Mass., and per- 
 fected arrangements for the erection of a building in which to manufacture 
 chairs, on a site very near the present location of D. Dexter's Sons. He 
 then returned to Massachusetts and, with his family, in July, 1839, came again, 
 bringing with him A. N. Brittan, a practical chairmaker. He found his shop 
 in readiness on his arrival, and he immediately set about preparing stock, 
 kilning, and drying, but not until the spring of 1840 did articles of his handi- 
 work appear upon the market. At this time about six hands were employed, 
 with Mr. Brittan as foreman, and only a limited number of chairs were made, 
 principally of wood seat. In 1842 Mr. Brittan sought other employment, and 
 the care and management of the business devolved solely on Mr. Dexter. 
 The demand for his goods began to increase, and in 1847 he took into part- 
 nership his brother, Simeon Dexter, and the firm was known as D. & S. Dex- 
 ter. By them the business was continued till 1856, when David again assumed 
 control, his brother retiring from the business to engage in farming. A year 
 or two later Mr. Dexter's business had grown to such proportions that he 
 found it necessary to enlarge his buildings and add new facilities in order to 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 659 
 
 supply the demand of his increasing patronage. Thus he continued till 1864, 
 when he took in his son, E. A. Dexter, and the partnership was known as 
 D. Dexter & Son. In December of the following year, 1865, the entire prop- 
 erty, the accumulation of 25 jears of toil, was destroyed by fire, the origin of 
 which was incendiary and said to be caused by Southern sympathizers. The 
 buildings were immediately rebuilt, the size of which being very nearly double 
 the original dimensions, and in the summer of 1866 the business again as- 
 sumed its former proportions. In 1880 the death of David Dexter occurred, 
 when the partnership which now exists was formed, the individual members 
 of which are E. A. and D. E. Dexter. Their works, located on the south 
 bank of the river, are at the present time equipped for the performance of 
 all parts of the business, and the chair is started from the log and passed 
 through all of its varied changes till it comes from the -upholstering depart- 
 ment completed and perfect in all its parts. Their woodworking shop is 
 40x80 feet and four stories high ; their paint shop and storeroom 40x72 feet, 
 three stories high; and their lumber sheds are 230 feet long. They manufact- 
 ure all kinds of chairs, and give employment to from 35 to 50 men. Their 
 reputation is second to none in tlie country for good work, and their chairs 
 find a market in all parts of the United States and Canada, and in Europe. 
 Black River Pulp Cos mill, located on road 6, on Black River, was built 
 in 1888 by H. Remington & Son, of Watertown. The size of the building is 
 150 by 51 feet, and has the capacity for grinding eight tons of dry pulp per 
 day, giving employment to 11 hmds. It is the intention of the proprietors 
 to greatly enlarge the building. 
 
 Empire Wood Pulp Go's mill, located at Black River village, in the town 
 of Rutland, was started in 1888. It furnishes employment to seven men, and 
 manufactures from three to four tons of dry pulp per day. 
 
 The Jefferson Paper Co., located at B'ack River village, in this town, was 
 incorporated in 1887 by Frank H. Munson and William P. Herring, and their 
 mill was erected in 1888. It has the capacity for manufacturing six tons of 
 dry pulp per day and employs 13 men. Frank H. Munson is president of 
 the company, and F. W. Herring, secretary and treasurer. 
 
 The Benefit Glove and Mitten Co , located at Felt's Mills, was organized 
 as a stock company in March, 1888. The concern employs 13 hands, and 
 does a business of about $10,000 annually. 
 
 P. M. Paige ^r Co's machine shop, at Black River village, gives employ- 
 ment to four men and does a general business in repairing machinery. The 
 company also does blacksmithing. 
 
 Felt's saw mill and cheese-box factory, located at Felt's Mills, employ seven 
 men in the manufacture of 5,000 feet of lumber per day and 30,000 cheese 
 boxes annually.

 at Felt's Mills, was built by George C. Kidder in 1866, and purchased by 
 
66o TOWN OF RUTLAND. 
 
 Mr. Marshall in 1872. He manufactures about 500,000 feet of lumber and 
 50,000 cheese boxes annually, employing about 10 hands. 
 
 Rutland Valley creamery, Azro T. Frink, proprietor, was built by him in 
 the spring of 1887, and is supplied with the Danish Western separators. It 
 has the patronage of 300 cows, receives about 850,000 pounds of milk 
 annually, from which is manufactured 36,956 pounds of butter, valued at 
 $8,130. 
 
 Tylerville cheese factory, Byron Dickinson, proprietor, was built by his 
 grandfather, T. Bailey, in 1871. It has the patronage of 275 cows, receives 
 about 825,000 pounds of milk annually, from which is manufactured 82,500 
 pounds of Cheddar cheese, valued at $7,425. 
 
 South Champion creamery, owned by Jay W. Waldo, is situated two miles 
 east of South Rutland. It has the patronage of about 500 cows, and receives 
 nearly 1,500,000 pounds of milk through the season, from which is manufact- 
 ured 63,000 pounds of butter, the estimated value of which is $15,120 
 The creamery was built in 1878, is fitted up with the Danish Western sepa- 
 rators, and has all modern improvements for the manufacture of first-class 
 butter. 
 
 Edward J. Williams' s cheese factory, located about a mile east of Rutland

 of cheese, valued at $9,000. 
 
 Hon. Moses Earaes furnishes the following, which was read before the 
 Jefferson Historical Society. In the early days of Rutland the keeping of 
 sheep and raising of wool was one of the most important of home industries, 
 as nearly every family manufactured the clothing used in the household. So 
 important had this home industry become that the legislature of the state 
 passed a law the 22d day of March, 181 1, entitled an act relative to incorpo- 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 66 1 
 
 ration for manufacturing purposes, under which law the following company 
 was formed : — 
 
 " We whose names are hereunto subscribed being desirous of forming a company for the 
 purpose of manufacturing Woolen goods in conformity to a law passed the 22d day of March, 
 1811, entitled 'An act relative to incorporations for manufacturing purposes,' Do hereby 
 Certify that we have associated ourselves together by the name and style of the ' Rutland 
 Woolen Manufacturing Company' for the purpose of manufacturing woolen goods in the 
 Town of Rutland, county of Jefferson and State of New York with a capital stock of twenty- 
 five thousand dollars consisting of two hundred shares of one hundred and twenty-iive dollars 
 each, and that there are three Trustees viz, Ethel Bronson, Daniel Eames, and Josiah Tyler 
 wlo are to manage the concerns of the said company for the first year. In witness whereof 
 we have hereunto set our hands and seals at Rutland, September 25th, 1811. Thomas HlU (l.s.) 
 Abel Doolittle (l.s.), Eber Ingalsbe (l.s.), John Oaks (l.s.), Ethel Bronson (l.s.), Josiah Tyler 
 (L.3.), Daniel Eames (l.s.). 
 
 "SS. Jeffeeson County — ss. Be it remembered that on the eighth October, 1811, before 
 me came Ethel Bronson, Josiah Tyler, Daniel Eames, Thomas Hill, Abel Doolittle, Eber In- 
 galsby, and John Oaks, known to me to be the persona herein described and who severally 
 acknowledged they executed this instrument in writing I allow it to be recorded. 
 
 "Joseph Clabk, Judge State." 
 
 Two of the stockholders, Ethel Bronson and Daniel Eames, took each one- 
 fourth of the stock, which was $25,000. Of this stock only about $17,000 
 was ever paid in. As I now look back I am surprised at the spirit and energy 
 these men put forth and the difficulties they had to encounter. The country 
 was not only new, but not one of them was acquainted with the manufact- 
 ure of cloths. The company in the fall of i8ii made preparations for 
 building, and in 1812 put up most of the buildings and commenced work. 
 This was a very busy year. War with England was declared June 18, 1812, 
 and the price of things went up, as well as the cost of labor. Common wool 
 was 50 cents and fine wool 75 cents per pound, and all dye-woods and cot- 
 ton, which was used in tlie satinets, were high. Log-wood and all other 
 dye-woods in the log were cut by hand, and the machinery was not of the 
 improved kind. This was the first and only factory of the kind in all North- 
 ern or Western New York, and the company was doing a very fair amount of 
 work in the years 1813-14-15, but at the close of he war, there being no duty on 
 woolen goods, the importation of British cloths soon put an end to this as well 
 as many other factories in the states. In the years 1816-17 this company had 
 accumulated manufactured goods beyond the sale, and there were some debts 
 against the company for dye-stufifs, machinery, and other things, and it was 
 thought best to sell and close out the company. In September, 1817, it was 
 sold to Daniel Eames for $400, he making the only bid. The debts of the 
 company were to be paid by those that bought the company. All the stock- 
 holders in the company lost about all they had paid in. After the sale of the 
 company's interest in the property the buildings and machinery were rented 
 for some years and used for cloth-dressing and wool-carding for customers 
 till about 1844. 
 
 Previous to this date, however, it had been used as a cloth-dressing estab- 
 lishment by Calvm Blackstone, for a tannery by Firman Fish, and a tannery by 
 
662 TOWN OF RUTLAND. 
 
 Orrin Roberts^which was followed by L. A. Walker as a cooper shop. In 1844 
 it was left to fall into ruins, and some years since the high water carried off the 
 dam and the buildings attached to the water-power, but the main building, 
 which was erected in 1812, is yet standing, which is up from the creek on the 
 margin of the highway. Since its disuse as a factory building it has been 
 devoted to various uses, and for a time was used as a creamery or butter 
 factory. On the 15th day of July, 1814, the Rutland Woolen Manufacturing 
 Company made an agreement with Gershom Tuttle and Daniel Eames to 
 dig a well for the use of the company. 
 
 I have thought it due to those who were most directly interested in the enter- 
 prise of the Rutland Woolen Manufacturing Company that their names 
 should be presented, as some of their descendants may call to mind the events 
 of the past. In the settlement of any new country many very interesting 
 events take place that are of great interest to those that come after them. Most 
 of those who came and settled in Rutland were from the New England states, 
 and were men and women who could endure toil and suffer privation from 
 the luxuries of life. Only one decade had passed when this enterprise of the 
 Rutland Woolen Manufacturing Company was organized, and the following 
 persons were more or less interested in it until 1817 or 1818: Ethel Bronson, 
 Daniel Eames, Eber Ingalsby, Thomas Hill, Abel Doolittle, John Oaks, Josiah 
 Tyler, Gershom Tuttle, David Canfield, Joseph Hopkins, Nathaniel Kellogg, 
 John Beecher, Benham Webb, Nathaniel Frink, Jacob Miller, Ira Phillips, 
 Sydney Ball, Erastus Lathrop, David Thomas, Amandah Tucker, Thomas 
 Rickerson, David Hicox, Ephraim Towne, Elisha Parks, Joseph Commins, 
 Owen Riley, and Alvin Hunt. There are many other things of interest to 
 our historical society connected not only with the town of Rutland, but of 
 other towns of the county, which should be preserved, and I hope an interest 
 will be manifested that will make the Jefferson County Historical Society one 
 of the most interesting in this state. 
 
 In relation to the first library in Rutland I will read this document: — 
 
 " I hereby certify that more than 20 persons belonging to the town of Rutland, in the 
 County of Jefferson and State of New York, have by writing under their hands signified their 
 desire to associate themselves together for the purpose of procuring and erecting a Library, 
 in the said town of Rutland, agreeable to law, and have subscribed for that purpose more 
 than $100, and that more than two-thirds of said subscribers did assemble at the dwelling 
 house of Amariah Tucker, in said Rutland (it being the time and place previously agreed on and 
 appointed), and being so assembled did proceed to elect a chairman by ballot from among 
 themselves to preside at said meeting, and did also elect by a pluraUtyof votes Ethel Bronson, 
 Hugh Henderson, Abel Sherman, Daniel Eames, and Curtiss Mallery to serve as trustees for 
 said Library for the year ensuing, and did also agree that the style name or title by which the 
 said Corporation shall be distinguished or known shall be the ' Rutland Farmers' Library.' 
 Signed and sealed at Rutland the H day of November, A. D. 1806. 
 
 ' ' Ethel Bronson, Chairman of S'd Meeting."

 The last librarian was John D. Randall, who was felected in 1843. Soon 
 after his election he took the books to his house and the library ceased to ex- 
 ist. Speaking of schools Mr. Eames said: The first settlers of Rutland, as 
 soon as enough log houses were made to make them comfortable, gave their 
 attention to schools, and in 1804 a subscription was raised to build a school- 
 house by the following persons: Abel Sherman, Nathaniel Welch, Nathan 
 Green, James Brainard, Thomas M. Converse, Daniel Eames, John M. Dole, 
 Gardner Cleveland, Solomon Thompson, Artemus W. White, Orange Eno, 
 David Y. Fitch, Francis Commins, Stephen Commins, Benjamin Commins, 
 Samuel Brainard, Daniel Smith, Raphael Porter, Gershom Tuttle, Levi Hale, 
 John Stanley, Jedediah Stanley, John Winslow. The subscription amounted 
 to $250. A library was formed at Jonathan Graves's, called the Young Men's 
 Library, about 18 12, by the boys in the vicinity. It prospered until its boy 
 patrons, coming of age, left the neighborhood. John Grannis was librarian. 
 
 At the time the county of Jefferson began to settle its territory was em- 
 braced in two towns of Oneida County. All south of Black River was a 
 part of Mexico, and all north of the river belonged to Leyden. The organiza- 
 tion of Jefferson County^ etc., has been noted in the County Chapter. 
 
 In a division of the 1 1 towns among the proprietors No. 3, or Rutland, 
 fell to Henderson, who appointed Asher Miller, of Middletown, Conn., as his 
 agent, June 6, 1799. As a consideration for removing to the town and com- 
 mencing improvements he was allowed the choice of 500 acres wherever he 
 might select at a very reduced price. Accordingly, in July, he opened a road 
 from the river to near the center of the town, and fixed his residence and lo- 
 cation about one-half a mile east of Rutland Center. During the year the 
 .following sales were made, viz.: September 21, 17^2 acres to Levi Butterfield ; 
 October 3, 343 acres to Perley Keyes, WilHam Keyes, and Amos Stebbins ; 
 November i, 391 acres to David Coffeen ; November 6: Goldsmith Coffeen, 
 312; Raphael Porter, 213 ; Israel Wright, 98; Jonathan and Clark Ross, 161; 
 James Kilham, 141; Charles Kelsey, 116; Jephtha King, 137 ; John Dole, 
 154; Gardner Cleveland, 242; Warren Foster, 140; John Cotes, 134. 
 
 Among those that purchased in 1800 and i8or were Danford and John 
 Earl, Solomon Tuttle, Abel Sherman, Jacob A. Williams, Ezekiel Andrus, 
 George White, Clift French, William Coffeen, Alexander Warner, Samuel 
 Treadway, and Stanley Weeks. The total amount of sales during the three 
 years was 17,549 acres, for $50,738.14. In June, 1803, Abel French suc- 
 ceeded as agent, and the same year sold 2,313 acres for $7,112.60. The 
 town was thus rapicily settled, the unsold parts being along the north and 
 south bounds. 
 
 Early in 1804 Henderson assigned to Dr. Bronson his interest in the town. 
 Dr. Bronson appointed his brother Ethel as agent, who served in that capac- 
 ity until his death m 1825, when he was succeeded by George White, an ac-

 tive and prominent citizen and among the first settlers of the town, who con- 
 tinued agent until the lands were sold and the accounts settled with the 
 proprietor. The last of the lands sold was an island near Black River vil- 
 lage, which was disposed of April 13, 1846. Dr. Bronson was a very gen- 
 erous landlord, and treated his debtors with much lenity. On a visit to the 
 town he found that a number holding contracts were unable to meet their 
 payments. These he gave new contracts at a reduced rate. Ethel Bronson 
 served the town as supervisor nine years. 
 
 The most reliable authority names Asher Miller, Henderson's agent, as the 
 first settler in Rutland, he having located here in July, 1799. Most of those 
 who purchased lands in that year came on early in the next spring, while 
 many who purchased in 1800 settled the same year. 
 
 The first grist-mill built in the county was erected by David Coffeen, in 
 1800, on Mil) Creek, at Felt's Mills, just above the lower bridge. It was put 
 in operation in 1801, and the first grist ground was for William Hadsall, of 
 Champion. This was a great improvement on the "stump mortars," and 
 was resorted to from great distances. After being in operation about two 
 years the mill was burned. In 1804 Wolcott Hubbel bought out Coffeen 
 and rebuilt the mill, which he subsequently sold to Barnabas Eldridge. 
 From Eldridge the property passed to Barnabas La Grange, and in 1813 to 
 John Felt. 
 
 The first saw-mill in town was erected at Felt's Mills in 1801, and about 
 the same time the first framed house in town was erected on the lot known 
 as the Jacob Tooker lot, situated nearly opposite Felt's Mills school-house. 
 This ancient building was still standing a few years ago and was used as 
 a barn. 
 
 Joseph Warden, Sr., formerly settled in Rutland, from Halifax, Vt., in the 
 fall of 1803. He bought the farm known as the Lewis Clark farm (or a por- 
 tion of it), of Morgan Starks, who was the original purchaser, and lived there 
 until his death in 181 7. In 1807 he opened a public house, and continued 
 that business until he sold his farm to Elisha Clark in the year of his death. 
 Mr. Clark discontinued keeping the hotel. According to the recollections of 
 Ezekiel Andrus and Ezra Worden* Dr. Hugh Henderson opened the first 
 tavern in town, at Rutland Center^ but Hough's History names Levi Butter- 
 field as the first inn-keeper, and the town records seem to confirm the latter 
 statement. As the town meetings for the years 1803, '05, and '06 were held at 
 the dweUing house of Levi Butterfield the insertion of the word " dwelling" 
 before " house" would rather imply that it was not a tavern. The first physi- 
 cian in town was Dr. Hugh Henderson. 
 
 In 1803 there were but nine farms occupied on or near the Rutland Hollow 
 road. The occupants were William Newton, John Cotes, John Eddy, Morgan 
 Starks, Robert Adams, Stanley Weeks, and three men by the name of

 Maltby. There were but two families settled between the Hollow and what is 
 Tiow Felt's Mills, viz. : those of Elihu Veber and Jacob Fuller. At the latter 
 place a very few settlers had located. Among those who had located in the 
 north part of the town about this time were Richmond Rowland and his 
 brothers Rufus and David, Jonathan Graves, Asa, Elisha, Elias, and Archi- 
 bald Clark, Asaph Chase, Reuben Scott, David Wilcox, Enoch Eddy and 
 family, and David Veber. Zelotus Harvey, who had previously settled, was 
 for many years a very prominent and useful citizen of the town, as a teacher, 
 magistrate, supervisor, and inspector of common schools. 
 
 Among the incidents that retarded the prosperity of many of the settlers 
 of the north part of the town was the following: A man by the name of John 
 Harris, having a contract to deliver spars at either Montreal or Quebec, bought 
 all the Norway pine on the Le Ray plains. Many of the settlers, thinking it 
 a favorable opportunity to get a little ready money (an article very scarce in 
 those days), contracted to deliver the spars on the banks of. the river at $5 
 each. All except Enoch Eddy and Asa Ness, who delivered 100, after de- 
 livering a part failed to fulfill their contracts, as it cost much more to deliver 
 them than they were to receive. In floating the spars down Black River 11 
 men were drowned, and those who failed in their contracts were sued by 
 Harris for damages. This reduced many of them to poverty. 
 
 An event in the early history of the town, and one which caused much 
 ■sympathy, was the death of Avery Worden. On the afternoon of the 26th 
 of February, 18 10, the first school exhibition held in the town of Rutland 
 was given at Heath's tavern, at Rutland Center. The school was taught by 
 Charles Dayon, afterwards a prominent citizen of Lewis County, member of 
 ■Congress, Senator, etc. It being something new the house was crowded with 
 spectators. Ezra Worden, and his brother Avery, aged 12, started for home 
 afoot about 6 o'clock p. m., the snow being fully five feet deep. The road 
 between the turn west of O. Phillips's and theHoUow road had not been opened 
 that winter. In passing over that part of the road at the top of the hill 
 Avery became so overcome with cold and weariness that he could go no 
 farther. Ezra attempted to draw him through the snow, and succeeded in 
 drawing hiin about 100 rods, when, his strength failing, he was obliged to 
 leave him in order to obtain assistance. He proceeded to Benjamin Weeks's 
 house, near the Hollow road, where he arrived between 11 and 12 o'clock. 
 .Benjamin Weeks and Robert Sword put on their snow-shoes and went after 
 Avery, whom they found alive, but he died before he could be got to a house. 
 £zra became unconscious soon after arriving at Mr. Weeks's, and remained 
 so about 1 2 hours. He was frozen even worse than his brother, and only by 
 ■superior endurance was his life saved. 
 
 Francis Towne, the father of Gardner and Luther H. Towne, came with 
 his family to Rutland in January, 1804. His wife. Relief Towne, was killed 
 by lightning August 16, 1804. She was found dead near the corner of the 
 house, where she appears to have been engaged in fixing a tub to catch rain

 water. This was undoubtedly the first death in the town. The first child 
 born in Rutland was Harriet Kelsey, daughter of Charles and Lois Kelsey. 
 She became the wife of Alfred Pardee, who eventually settled in the bend of 
 the river in Champion. The first twin children born in town were Robert and 
 William Middleton, sons of John Middleton. Robert died at Felt's Mills. 
 
 The father of Ezekiel Andrus migrated from Utica to this town, and 
 brought his family, consisting of himself and nine children (his wife having, 
 died several years before). His conveyance was a two-wheel cart, one yoke 
 of oxen, and a horse — the horse carrying a part of the time two and often 
 three of the girls of the family on their way to the " Black River wilderness." 
 One of the girls afterwards became the wife of Danford Earl, another of War- 
 ren Spaulding. A bark shanty sheltered the large family until a more com- 
 modious dwelling could be provided. 
 
 The State road was laid out where it is now located, about 1805, previous 
 to which date the road diverged from its present line from Samuel Frink's- 
 farm southwesterly, and came out at J. F. Treadway's present residence. 
 
 One of the oldest landmarks in town (in 1876) was a framed house, un- 
 doubtedly the second erected in town, built by Solomon Tuttle about 1803.. 
 It was still standing a few years since on the farm of Mason Spaulding. 
 
 The pioneers of Rutland were mostly from the New England states, and' 
 were generally intelligent, robust, and industrious. They were distinguished^ 
 for their sound common sense, their love of justice, and the early interest 
 they took in education. Most of them came here with scarcely enough of 
 the world's goods to make them comfortable. Their peculiarities might be 
 illustrated by many an anecdote, but we will let the following suffice: 
 
 A curious phase how justice was administered in the early settlements was 
 one of an anomalous character held before Daniel Eames, Esq., as follows : 
 A suit arose on account of 20 bushels of wheat. The plaintiff to the suit 
 could not prove his account except by the defendant's acknowledgment. 
 The plaintiff" called upon the defendant to be sworn ; he refused. The 
 plaintiff then offered himself, but the defendant barred that out. Then the 
 justice said to the defendant, " wont you be sworn nor allow the plaintiff'?" 
 " No sir ! " replied the defendant. Then said the sedate justice of the peace, 
 " I shall give judgment against you for the amount of 20 bushels of wheat ;. 
 the judgment is $20." His explanation why he took so arbitrary judg- 
 ment was, that on an appeal, the whole facts now concealed would came out. 
 
 The town of Rutland took an early interest in the subject of education. 
 It was the practice, when a sufficient number settled in a neighborhood, to- 
 sustain the school, to erect a log house, and engage a teacher. The first of 
 these houses in town was built in 1800 or rSor. Dr. Hough names Miss 
 A. Porter as the first teacher. Soon after this a school-house was built on 
 the Hollow road, a short distance west of the four corners. Miss Naomi 
 Blackmer was the first, or one of the first, teachers here. This house was 
 ■■ised but a short time, as many of the settlers lived at too great a distance 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 667 
 
 from it. In its place a house was erected farther west in the Hollow, and 
 another near the site of the late M. L. Graves's residence, on road 20. In 
 these rude structures the children of the pioneers of Rutland received the 
 rudiments of education. Among the early teachers were Curtis Mallery, 
 Jocob Fuller, Zelotus Harvey, Charles Dayon, and Jason Clark ; at a later 
 date Horatio Sherman, Gardner Towne, A. P. Sigourney, John M. Dunlap, 
 John Felt, the Misses Cornelia Johnson and Adeline M. Brown, and Elijah 
 Graves. The latter commenced teaching in 1833 and continued for many 
 years, when the citizens of Felt's Mills presented him with a testimonial that 
 " age has not dimmed his zeal or made him rusty." 
 
 In December, 1807, Enoch Eddy and George White took each 35 bushels 
 of wheat to Albany, which they sold for 80 cents a bushel. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The first record we have in relation to religious matters is of a visit to the 
 settlements in Jefferson County by the Rev. James W. Woodward, in 1802. 
 He collected $1 in Adams, 50 cents in Watertown, $3.47 in Rutland, $1.50 
 in Champion, and 25 cents in Brownville — Rutland contributing more than 
 all the other settlements combined. 
 
 The records of religious societies in this town are very imperfect. The Bap- 
 tists appear to have been the pioneers in organization. As early at least as 
 1806 the Rev. Mr. Maltby held services in both North and South Rutland, 
 and a great revival was the result of his labors. It is presumed that societies, 
 if not organized before, were then organized. Meetings continued to be held 
 in both parts of the town. They were held for North Rutland in Charles 
 Fuller's barn, about 80 rods west of Elisha Clark's, Rutland Hollow. A 
 church was built near Deacon Fuller's, on David Veber's land, in 1821. 
 Martin E. Cook was the first preacher in the new church. Some of those 
 who preceded him in town were Elders Wilkie, Morgan, and Card. Elder 
 Palmer Cross preached in the church several years. In 1837 the North Rut- 
 land Church was reorganized. By a vote of the society in 1842 the church 
 was removed to the great bend, in Champion. The successors of Elder Cross 
 were Elders Gardis Lyttle, A. D. Freeman, and John Wilder. The society 
 at Tylerville reorganized in 1833 ; James Brown, Stephen Brainard, and Milo 
 Maltby, trustees. We have not succeeded in obtaining a list of clergymen 
 officiating there. 
 
 The First Congregational Church was organized by the Rev. William 
 Lathrop, a missionary from Vermont, January 26, 1808, consisting of 10 
 members, viz.: David Tyler, Amos Mallery, Thomas Converse and wife, 
 Timothy Tamblin and wife, Samuel Porter and wife, William Parkinson and 
 wife. Amos Mallery and David Tyler were afterwards chosen deacons. It 
 may be mentioned as indicative of the strict Puritanism of the early fathers 
 of the church that Amos Mallery was objected to for the office of deacon on

 account of not having a wife, a deficiency which is contrary to the letter of 
 the law. It is not now known whether the fathers of the church or the maiden 
 ladies of the congregation raised the objection. The first religious society of 
 Rutland was formed February 8, 1808, and Ethel Bronson, Timothy Tam- 
 blin, John Reed, Thomas Converse, and Ebenezer Hayward were elected 
 trustees. The successors of the Rev. Mr. Lathrop were Enos Bliss, Leaven- 
 worth and Daniel Banks, who became pastors over this church and Water- 
 town in 1815. On January 20, 1824, the church united with the 
 Presbytery ; number of members, 87. Since then among the pastors have 
 been Revs. David Spear, J. H. Rice, Hiram Doane, Henry Budge, and 
 James Douglas. 
 
 The first church south of the State road was erected opposite the residence 
 of the late Henry T. Hopkins, in 1819. It was removed and rebuilt some 
 years since on the four corners about one-half mile west of its former site. 
 The brother of Dr. Isaac Bronson, then residing in New York city, gave the 
 site, and also the site for a parsonage. His interest in the ownership of the 
 latid of the town was considered the motive that promoted him to the act. 
 
 At what time the first Methodist Episcopal organization took place is un- 
 certain. Itinerant preachers were in the town at a very early date. From 
 1804 to i8t5 the whole county was included in the Black River circuit. 
 Among the early preachers were Datus Ensign, Luther Bishop, Joseph 
 Willis, Isaac Pufifer, and Goodwin Stoddard. Many new circuits have been 
 formed from Black River circuit. The first class organized in Rutland was 
 in Rutland Hollow. Another, at the Cotes school-house on the farm of E. 
 Crain, was organized about 1824 or 1826. The dates of the organization at 
 Felt's Mills and South Rutland are not found. The first M. E. church in 
 Rutland was built in Rutland Hollow about 1820. 
 
 Universalist societies have been organized at Tylerville, Felt's Mills, and 
 Black River. The dates of these organizations are not known. Revs. C. G. 
 Parsons, Pitt Morse, H. L. Haywood, J. P. Averell, O. Wilcox, J. H. Stew- 
 art, and others officiating. The society at Tylerville is the only one that re- 
 tains its organization. 
 
 The Church of Christ, or Disciples, first held meetings at Felt's Mills 
 in 1857, Rev. Mr. Benedict officiating. A society was formed, includ- 
 ing Black River, and at the latter place a small chapel was erected in 187 1. 
 
 jRufland Congregational Church, located on Rutland middle road, was or- 
 ganized January 26, 1808, by Rev. William Lathrop, and at its organization 
 consisted of 10 members. Their house of worship, a wooden building, was 
 erected in 1841. It will seat 300 persons, and is valued, including grounds, 
 €tc., at $3,000. The present membership is 50, under the pastoral charge 
 of Rev. William H. Way. The Sunday-school has a membership of about 75. 
 
 Black River Methodist Episcopal Church, at Black River village, was or- 
 ganized in 1833 by Revs. S. Orvis and I. S. Bingham, and Rev. Lewis Whit- 
 comb was the first pastor. Their first house of worship was erected in 1848,

 of wood. Their present church edifice, also a wooden structure, was built 
 in 1884, at a cost of about $3,000. It will comfortably seat 500 persons, and 
 is now valued, including grounds, at $ti,2oo. The present membership of 
 the church is 198, under the pastoral charge of Rev. Robert Fhnt. The 
 Sunday-school has a membership of 22 officers and teachers, and 175 schol- 
 ars, with C. S. Mellen, superintendent. 
 
 The Christian Church at Felt's Mills was organized in- 1871 by J. S. 
 Hughes, the first pastor, and at its organization consisted of 30 members. 
 Their house of worship, a wooden building, was erected in 1844, and occu- 
 pied as a union church. It will comfortably seat 150 persons, and is valued, 
 including grounds, etc., at $1,500. The present membership is 35, with no 
 regular pastor. The Sunday-school has 35 members, with J. Cotton, super- 
 intendent. 
 
 The union church at South Rutland, occupied by the Methodists and 
 Universalists, was organized July 2, 1872, by Rev. Mr. Tomlinson, the first 
 pastor, with 34 members. Their house of worship was erected of wood in 
 1872, will comfortably seat 200 persons, and cost about $1,400. The pres- 
 ent membership is 34, and Rev. Mr. Danforth is pastor. 
 
 MOSES EAMES. 
 
 The Earaes family, of Massachusetts, were early settlers, the emigrant 
 Thomas Eimes coming from England in 1630. In 1640 he married and 
 settled in Dedhara, Norfolk County, Mass. By his wife, Margaret, he had 
 three children. In 1662 he removed to Sherburne, now a part of Framing- 
 ham, with his second wife, Mary Paddleford. Of their six children, two 
 were killed with their mother by the Indians, February i, 1676, in King 
 Phillips's war. The four others were taken prisoners. Thomas Fames died' 
 January 25, 1680. He was a man well-to-do for the times. 
 
 The line of descent to Moses is Thomas ', Nathaniel '^, Daniel ', Daniel ', 
 Daniel ", Moses °. Daniel ' was one of the pioneers of Jefferson County and 
 a prominent factor in its growth. He was born March 11, 1767, in Hopkin- 
 ton, Middlesex County, Mass. In April, 1794, he left Massachusetts with 
 his wife, three children, liousehold furniture, and an ox- team, and May 16 
 they occupied a log-camp, which Mr. Eames hastily put up, about eight miles 
 from Rome, and five miles out in the wilderness. In the spring of i8or he 
 went to No. 3, now Rutland, and "took up " 160 acres. Here he cleared 
 land, built a log house, and, in the spring of 1802, he moved his family 
 hither. This house was on the site of the old homestead destroyed by fire 
 February 18, 1887. Mr. Eames passed a long and useful life on this place, 
 and died at the age of 88 years, September 15, 1855. His wife, MoUie K. 
 Wight, died February 4, 1842, aged nearly 74. They had a family of 13 
 children, of whom Moses was the ninth son and twelfth child. 
 
 Moses Eames was born in Rutland, March 19, i8o8. In that period of 
 
670 TOWN OF RUTLAND. 
 
 this county's history the pioneers were obliged to educate their children 
 largely in the school of labor, and it was well for them, for early to learn to 
 work is often the foundation stone of a life of usefulness and future compe- 
 tence. Mr. Eames had private school instruction in the summers of 1812 and 
 1813 ; then he attended the district school, where one teacher had charge of 
 from 80 to 90 children, and he took the few crumbs of knowledge of reading, 
 spelling, writing, and arithmetic, which fell to his share, gladly. He also had 
 the advantages of two winter terras at Lowville Academy, and of the Rutland 
 Farmers' Library, which was organized and established in 1806. Many of 
 the books were historical and biographical works, and these he read thoroughly; 
 he took several newspapers and spent his time profitably in perusing 
 their contents. During his minority he was occupied in the farm work, and 
 at his majority he hired out to his father for $r2.5o permonth and continued 
 with him until the spring of 1833, when an arrangement was made whereby 
 he should make his home with his parents, and help to provide for their com- 
 fort and happiness during the remainder of their lives. 
 
 Mr. Eames married, June 7, 1837, Delia Ann Howk, of Rutland. Their 
 children were Delia Jane, who married Lafayette Beach, of Rochester, and 
 died March 29, 1870: her daughter is Mrs. Daniel B. Ryan, of Albion, who 
 has one child; and Mary Alice (Mrs. James Phelan), of Baltimore, who died 
 October 9, 1876 : she had one son, Arthur B., born June 30, 1870. Mrs. 
 Eames died February 18, 1865. 
 
 Mr. Eames early showed a marked aptitude for agriculture and gardening, 
 and was not content to go on in the same manner as past generations. He 
 was quick to see, and had mechanical skill to carry out his ideas. He twice 
 received premiums for the best farmer s garden in the county. He was early 
 a member of the County Agricultural Society, was a director, and aided in 
 securing the purchase of its grounds, and in erecting the buildings. In 1849 
 he was president of the society, and his addresses evinced his great knowledge 
 of practical agriculture, and his happy faculty of formulating his ideas in 
 words. His suggestions and advice have been freely given, and the society 
 has to-day no more active or useful member than he. From 1837 he engaged 
 largely in cheese dairying, and for 24 years continued to follow and develop 
 this mdustry. He made many experiments to secure labor saving, and with 
 marked results. In 1848 he discovered and applied the heating of the milk 
 and the scalding of the curd by means of steam introduced into the water 
 under the milk, and in so doing developed the portable steam engine, having 
 the first one ever made built for him in that year. In T851 he received the 
 State Agricultural Society's first premium of $25 for a model building for a 
 cheese house and apparatus for making cheese by steam. Among other 
 records he has from 1830 made a daily statement of the weather, and the pre 
 dpitation of moisture. Mr. Eames has been the pioneer in Jefferson County 
 of every improvement in agriculture since he attained man's estate. He in- 
 troduced the first drain tile in 1857 ; the first mowing machine in r852 ; and 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 67 1 
 
 has given much time and money in experiments for the good of the public. 
 He has set examples worthy of emulation in these and other ways, and proven 
 himself fully entitled to the appellation of " public benefactor." The fine 
 watering-trough erected by him on one of the principal roads of the county 
 is a token of his interest in the welfare of dumb animals, and should be du- 
 plicated at proper distances on every highway. 
 
 Mr. Eames has always been on the side of the poor and oppressed, a 
 strong anti-slavery man, and, in 1833, he was an active conductor on the 
 -"Underground Railroad," a name applied to the movements of an organiza- 
 tion to assist fugitive slaves to escape to Canada. In 1838 he joined the 
 Hunter Lodge, an historic band of the "Patriot war" of Canada. From 
 1846, when he united with the " Sons of Temperance,'' he has been actively 
 engaged in temperance work. In 1846 he also joined the "Odd Fellows." 
 In 1854 he became a " Know-Nothing," and was elected to represent the 
 ■county in the legislature in 1855, and, as chairman of the committee on agri- 
 culture, drafted the bill, passed in April of that year, forming the law under 
 which county agricultural societies are organized. This session was a mem- 
 orable and exciting one from the movements of the up to that time unknown 
 secret political party, — the " Know-Nothing," or Native American, — which 
 destroyed the plans of the regular political leaders. From his freedom of 
 action Mr. Eames was called to explain his course before the slate conven- 
 tion of his party held at Syracuse in 1855, and caused a great excitemen 
 there by his maintenance of his action, and his refusal to be bound to pursue 
 a course contrary to his conscience, and from that time he has been a Repub- 
 lican. From Horace Greeley's endorsement, the same year (1855), he 
 identified himself for a time with Fourierism. In 1857 he joined the Con- 
 gregational Church at Rutland, and transferred his connection to the First 
 Presbyterian Church of Watertown when he removed thither in 1861. Since 
 that time he has been active in many and widely-varying enterprises. It has 
 been ever his desire to help anything tending to betterment and progress by 
 personal exertion, and to the extent of his pecuniary resources. He has been 
 a vice-president of the Jefferson County Historical Society since its organi- 
 zation . 
 
 Mr. Eames possesses a quick, vivacious, and impulsive, but a well balanced, 
 temperament, with great mental and physical vigor ; and now, at the age of 
 82 years, is pleasant, cheerful, lively, and industrious as ever. He never 
 wastes a moment. He is constantly at work, and whatever he does is done 
 with his whole heart and soul. He is noted for integrity, unswerving adher- 
 ence to principle, and promptitude in fulfilling engagements. The generous 
 and sympathetic side of his nature is largely developed, and he is liberal to a 
 fault. He is a great admirer of nature and enjoys her solitude and com- 
 munibn with his own thoughts, and is very tenacious in his attachments and 
 friendships. His fund of general knowledge is both comprehensive and use- 
 ful. He is one of Watertown's most valuable citizens; enlisting in every

 good work, and laboring with a zeal which does not tire, and an energy rarely- 
 surpassed ; and it is to such men as Moses Eames that the rise and prosperity; 
 of many towns is largely due. 
 
 MARTIN LISK GRAVES. 
 
 It is valuable to preserve for coming generations, in connection with the 
 history of events, something of the personality of those who have been rep- 
 resentative men, and have taken part in those occurrences which, when re- 
 corded, become to future generations the history of the past. The perpetuity 
 of American institutions and a republican form of government depends not 
 upon the strength of armies, mighty corporations, or the wealth of million- 
 aires, but upon the steady persistency and industrious labor of those who, by 
 perseverance, economy, long years of toil, both of brain and hands, temperate 
 habits, and a devotion to law and order, have acquired a competency and an 
 honorable position in the community. 
 
 Martin Lisk Graves, son of Jonathan and Nancy (Cotes) Graves, was born 
 in Rutlandj on the place where he always resided, August 14, 181 1. His 
 grandfather, Jonathan Graves, was a native of Massachusetts ; his grand- 
 mother was Elizabeth Lisk, and at the time of Jonathan's birth. May 7, 1777, 
 their home was in Shelburne, Mass. They moved to Oneida County, N. Y., 
 at an early period in its settlement, located in the town of Vienna, and fhere 
 developed a farm. Many children were born to them, and here, after long, 
 lives, they passed on to the hereafter. About i8oe Jonathan, Jr., came to Rut- 
 land in company with John Cotes, and March 24th married Mrs. Nancy 
 (Cotes) Grannis, widow of John Grannis, and sister of Mr. Cotes. Mr. 
 Graves located on great lot number 15, the late home of Martin L. 
 Graves. With no capital but their energy and wiUing hands they made a- 
 home ; the forests were cleared ; the land brought into a state of cultivation; 
 and from its products the purchase money was paid, their family fed, clothed, 
 and educated. Mr. Graves was a strong, vigorous man in early life, but his- 
 hard labors, accompanied by exposure, brought on rheumatism, which made 
 him a cripple in his later years. He was a Democrat in politics; a Univer- 
 salist in his religious views: however he liberally supported the Baptist Church, 
 of which Mrs. Graves was a member. He was interested in progress and 
 improvement. The famous library of the Young Men's Literary Association 
 was estabUshed and kept at his house, and an early district school was located 
 near his residence. Mrs. Graves's parents were also among the first settlers 
 of Oneida County, where they died: Mr. Cotes aged about 70 years, and 
 Mrs. Cotes aged 88 years. Mr. and Mrs. Graves were a good type of the 
 best order of pioneers, doing good and not evil all their days, giving to their 
 children examples worthy of emulation. Mr. Graves died April 13, '849. His 
 wife died October 2, 1866. Their children were Nancy M., Martin L., Elijah,, 
 and Hannah T., all deceased.

 Martin Lisle Graves received his education at common schools, but supple- 
 mented it largely by extensive and thoughtful reading, and was, for a few 
 winter terms, a successful teacher. He became a '-tiller of the soil," and 
 although from his childhood days he had earnestly desired to " go west," the 
 failure of his father's health prevented, and upon him, as the oldest son, 
 rested the care of the home place, and he has ever pursued that oldest and 
 most honorable calling among men, farming, on the paternal acres. On the 
 19th of March, 1840, Mr. Graves married Matilda E., daughter of Nathan 
 and Polly (Jones) Wood. She was born in Fairfield, Herkimer County, N. Y., 
 March i, 1821. Her people were pioneer settlers of that county, coming 
 thither from Massachusetts, where they were colonized early, emigrating 
 from England when the Plymouth colony was in its infancy. Both the Jones 
 and Wood families were of the best English and colonial stock, and Mrs. 
 Graves is a true descendant. Their children are M. Adaline (married Ed- 
 ward F. Johnson, M. D., has two children, Martin G. and John Prentice) 
 and Louisa E. 
 
 Mr. Graves was identified prominently with public matters. He was a true 
 believer in the Jeffersonian doctrines of politics, and as a Democrat cast his 
 first presidential vote for Andrew Jackson in 1832. On attaining his major- 
 ity he was chosen inspector of common schools, and held that office and 
 commissioner of common schools for a long term of years. He creditably 
 and satisfactorily filled the principal town offices, and was supervisor three years. 
 In 1845 he was chosen loan commissioner of the county, and continued in 
 office until the fund was consolidated with the United States Deposit Fund 
 in 1850. In 1883 he was appointed by Gov. Grover Cleveland a commissioner 
 of the United States Deposit Fund, which position he held until his death. 
 He was an active participant in pohtics ; a frequent delegate to town, county, 
 and district conventions ; and one of the valued counselors and advisors of 
 his party. He was often offered the nomination by his party for various po- 
 sitions, but very rarely accepted, his private affairs demanding his attention. 
 In 1874 he was named by the Farmers AUiance as their candidate for member 
 of Congress. This nomination was endorsed by the Democrats. The dis- 
 trict comprised Jefferson, Lewis, and Herkimer counties, — strongly Repub- 
 lican, — but he largely reduced the majority against him, a prc5of of his 
 personal popularity. The official returns were: —

 He was a member of the Jefferson County Agricultural Society (of which 
 his father was an original member) for many years, and, since 1845, had been 
 connected with Odd Fellowship. He was an Universalist in religion. In 1857 
 the Jefferson Leather Manufacturing Co. was organized at Felt's Mills. 
 M. L. Graves was one of its stockholders and directors. After a few years 
 the company became financially embarrassed, and he was made its president 
 for the purpose of closing up its affairs, which was done to the satisfaction of 
 all creditors. The business of tanning was successfully carried on for a few 
 years by the firm of M. L. Graves & Co., when the property was sold to 
 other parties. Since that time he gave his exclusive attention to his farm. 
 He also dealt extensively in live stock, and from his youth to nearly three-score 
 years and 10 he was a worker, a producer, and not a mere consumer. Under 
 the old military system of the state, when every citizen was a soldier, Mr_ 
 Graves filled every station in the crack independent company, to which he 
 belonged, from private to captain with noted excellence. A wise, conserva- 
 tive administrator and counselor in affairs of business or state, an unassum- 
 ing and expemplary citizen, he has done his life's work well, and has gone to 
 his final reward loved and honored by a large circle. He died at his home 
 in Rutland, March 22, 1890, three days after the 50th anniversary of his 
 wedding day. 
 
 Elijah Graves, brother of Martin L. Graves, was born in the town of Rut- 
 land, July 16, 1813. His education was mostly acquired in common schools. 
 In the fall of 1827 he attended a course of lectures on grammar and arith- 
 metic given by William Ruger, in an adjoining district, where he was one of 
 the pupils who made the greatest progress in grammar, and he ranked the 
 first in arithmetic, although he was the youngest member of the class. He 
 afterwards attended the academy at Holland Patent, Oneida County, one term. 
 He commenced teaching in November, 1833, and from that time taught a 
 portion of each year until his death, which occurred December 18, 1882. 
 He probably passed more years in that occupation than any other person in 
 Jefferson County, and always in district and select schools. His labors were 
 confined to this county, and many of its prominent business men and success- 
 ful teachers refer to him as their early instructor. In several instances, dur- 
 ing his later years, he had under his tuition children and grandchildren of 
 some of his earliest pupils. He taught in the villages of Chaumont, Three 
 Mile Bay, Smithville, Evans Mills, Black River, Felt's Mills, Great Bend, 
 West Carthage, Champion, and Rodman, and in many country districts. He 
 had served as town superintendent of common schools, in the towns of Lyme 
 and Rutland, previous to his appointment as school commissioner for the 
 second district of Jefferson County, in June, 1856. In 1858 he failed of an 
 election for a second term, though running far ahead of his ticket. Early in 
 life he was clerk in a store for a short time ; afterwards he went into the mer- 
 cantile business, but not for long. His proper sphere was the school-room. 
 The last year of his life he taught in the district where he was born, and where 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 675 
 
 his own school days were spent. He was in the midst of a winter term, when 
 he went to stay over Sunday at the old homestead with his brother's family. 
 On Monday morning he was ready to start for the school-house, when he was 
 stricken by death from heart disease. It was truly said of him that " he died 
 in the harness." He was married July 4, 1840. His wife died some years 
 before him. He left one child, a daughter. 
 
 JOHN A. SHERMAN. 
 
 John A. Sherman was born in the town of Rutland, June 13, 1809, and 
 died in Watertown, March 25, 1882. He was the oldest son of Alfred Sher- 
 man, and a grandson of Dr. Abel Sherman, a native of Massachusetts, whose 
 ancestors were among the early settlers of New England states, and of Eng- 
 lish descent. Susan Hull, his mother, was an adopted daughter of Roswald 
 Woodruff, who was one of the pioneers of Jefferson County. His grand- 
 father. Dr. Abel Sherman, was a physician, and came from Massachusetts to 
 Oneida County, in this state. His residence in Oneida County was brief, and 
 in 1803 he removed to this county, settling in Rutland, upon 220 acres of 
 timber land, which in time he cleared and made tillable. He was the first 
 sheriff of the county. Alfred Sherman, father of John A., after his father's 
 death, having inherited the farm, actively engaged in agricultural pursuits, 
 and attained a comfortable fortune. During the War of 1812, however, as 
 contractor of the army, he lost the larger portion of his property, and, crip- 
 pled for want of means, he was prevented from giving his children any bet- 
 ter educational advantages than those afforded by the common schools. He 
 died in 1827, leaving John A., then only 17 years of age, to take charge 
 of the farm and support the family, which consisted of his mother, two sisters 
 and three brothers, and himself. Five years after his father's death he wed- 
 ded with Miss Julia Ann Lamed, of Rutland, who survives him, at the ad- 
 vanced age of 83 years. Two years later, in 1834, he purchased a dairy of 
 about 20 cows, and thus opened the cheese business for the county. At the 
 close of that year he sent his cheese to New York, packed in salt barrels, the 
 shipment of which, by canal, occupied 21 days. He received six cents per 
 pound for the cheese, and considered it a very good price at that time. His 
 was the first dairy of cheese manufactured in this county, and had much to do 
 in hastening the growth of the dairy interests. 
 
 As soon as this interest grew to sufficient proportion to warrant it he 
 engaged in the purchase of butter and cheese for the New York market, con- 
 tinuing in this trade for many years. In 1839, in partnership with Henry 
 Hopkins, of Rutland, he bought largely of cheese during the early fall of that 
 year. With the then facilities for transportation in Jefferson County cheese 
 could not well be shipped until late in the fall, when the weather was cool. 
 At the proper time he visited the city for the purpose of making sale of 
 his cheese, but found the market so depressed that it was impossible to make 
 
676 TOWN OF RUTLAND. 
 
 any sales except at a great sacrifice, which resulted in the financial ruin of 
 many dealers. Mr. Sherman asked his creditors for a little time to make 
 sale of his cheese, assuring them that he would carry them through safely. 
 They, having confidence in his wisdom and honesty, granted him the leniency 
 he asked, and he at once shipped his cheese on a vessel to New Orleans, 
 taking passage thereon himself. After a stormy voyage he arrived at his 
 destination with his cargo in good order, which he disposed of to advantage, 
 receiving payment in silver. This he packed in kegs, and on his return 
 voyage deposited it in his stateroom, where he was obliged to closely guard 
 it, with the assistance of a trusted friend, as the conduct of the captain and 
 crew was not such as to inspire confidence. He arrived in New York during the 
 financial troubles of 1839-40, when the banks had suspended specie payment, 
 sold his silver for a large premium, and was enabled to pay his creditors hon- 
 orably, dollar for dollar, and had quite a little profit for himself and partner. 
 We mention this little episode as characteristic of his whole life, and as 
 demonstrating his indomitable industry and perseverance. Always cautious, 
 full of resources, never getting into business enterprises or entanglements from 
 which he could not see his way out. He continued his produce business in New 
 York, purchasing mostly from dairies and factories in Jefferson, St. Lawrence, 
 and Lewis counties, in connection with his farming interests at home, until about 
 185 I, paying for his paternal estate, which was left him badly encumbered, and 
 adding farm to farm until 1856, when he retired from farming and removed to 
 Watertown city. He was a progressive farmer, with practical ideas, and often 
 introduced new farm implements, which tended to speed on the enlighten- 
 ment and prosperity of his neighbors and the section in which he Hved. His 
 popularity among the farmers was such that he was almost unanimously 
 elected to the presidency of the Jefferson County Agricultural Society about 
 
 1853- 
 
 Mr. Sherman was a great but unostentatious philanthropist. He was always 
 opposed to having any of his beneficent gifts made known to the public, and 
 endeavored to make such gifts appear like business transactions, of which he 
 was to reap a pecuniary benefit. His liberahty to the Young Men's Chris- 
 tian Association, which has occupied the greater portion of the second floor 
 of Washington Hall block since the society was formed in 1869, at a nominal 
 and sometimes free rental, is a fair example of his munificence. A short 
 time before his death Mr. Sherman donated to the association this valuable 
 property, with the provision that they pay a rent to Mrs. Sherman during her 
 life, and to his daughter, should she survive her mother, during her life. 
 
 At the time of his death Mr. Sherman owned valuable real estate in Jef- 
 ferson County, and was president of the Agricultural and Insurance Com- 
 pany, one of the largest and most successful business corporations in the 
 county, the success of which was largely promoted by his wise counsels and 
 sound advice. He was a director in two banks and two insurance compa- 
 nies in Watertown, and always a sound, practical adviser.

 Mr. Sherman had four brothers, namely : Eli, who died in early childhood, 
 and Hampton, William, and Eli, 2d, who died in early manhood. A sister, 
 Sylvia Orinda, died young. His nearest relatives now living are his wife, his 
 daughter, Mrs. D. S. Marvin, and his two sisters, Mary Sherman and Mrs. 
 Orinda Lewis, of Adrian, Mich. 
 
 Having acted a prominent part in the business affairs of the county and 
 city, he will long be remembered by his associates as a genial, pleasant, 
 reliable business companion and courteous gentleman. At the time of his 
 death the many business institutions in which he was interested offered ap- 
 propriate resolutions of respect. His memory is perpetuated by the hun- 
 dreds of kindly actions and noble deeds of his life. 
 
 FAMILY SKETCHES. 
 
 Ezekiel Andrus, father of Ezeldel Andrus, Jr., and grandfather of Stillman Andrus, im- 
 migrated to this town from Utica, in the year 1800, bringing with him his family, which con- 
 sisted of nine children, his wife having died several years before. He also brought with him 
 a two-wheel cart, a yoke of oxen, and a horse. A bark shanty was built on a tract of 140 acres, 
 lying between the " State " and " middle " roads, and west of the road leading from the " mid- 
 dle " road to the Center. Here the family resided until a more commodious dwelling could be 
 provided. In Joseph Hadcock's pasture, and about half a mile north from his residence, may 
 be seen the stone which served as a jamb to the fireplace in Mr. Andrus's log house, which 
 took the place of the one built of bark. Mr. Andrus was one of the very first settlers in Jef- 
 ferson County, and at the time of his death was the oldest resident in the town, having resided 
 here 77 consecutive years. Of this family, Benjamin, Ezekiel, Jr., and Elisha settled either 
 in Eutland or towns adjoining in this county, Elisha taking the homestead of his father, and 
 Ezekiel, Jr., buying a place on the " south " road in this town. The latter always remained a 
 resident of this town, retaining at the time of his death the farm on which he settled two years 
 after his marriage, and on which his grandson Elon 0. now resides. Stillman Andrus, son 
 of Ezekiel, Jr., upon the death of his father, took possession of the farm and here resided 
 until 1883, when he removed to a farm on the " middle " road, which he had purchased in 1879. 
 Mr. and Mrs. Ezekiel Andrus, Jr., had children as follows: Lodema, who died in 1840; Dia- 
 dama (Mrs. Nelson Clark), of Champion; David, who died in 1887; Alcesta (Mrs. Jason John- 
 son), of Champion; Phebe (Mrs. Philo Scott), who died in 1878; and Stillman, of this town. 
 
 Henry Andrews, son of William and Mary (Woodruff) Andrews, was born on the farm now 
 owned by Stillman Andms, March 17, 1819. He attended the district schools of his neigh- 
 borhood until he was 18 years of age, and then the Watertown Institute for several successive 
 terms. After completing his education here he engaged in teaching winters, and worked 
 at the carpenters' trade summers, a vocation which he had selected for his life work, but which, 
 in after years, he relinquished for that of milling, owning and operating the grist-mill at 
 Tylerville for a period of 25 years. In 1854 he married Lauraette A. Payne and settled in 
 TylerviUe, having bought the Chapin place previous to his marriage. Mrs. Andrews died 
 January 4, 1862, and in the August following he enlisted in the 10th N. Y. H. A., and went to 
 Sacliets Harbor, leaving September 18th with his regiment for Washington, being called in 
 the defense of that city. Leaving Washington in June, 1864, he went into camp near Peters- 
 burg, Va., where he entered the hospital on account of p partial sunstroke which he had sus- 
 tained. In 1864 he returned to duty, and in the following December was again disabled and 
 sent to Campbell Hospital at Washington, from which he received his final dischai-ge May 13, 
 1865. Three months previous to his discharge from the service he visited his home in Eutland, 
 ona furlough, and was married to Miss Caroline E. Adams, of Eodman. Mrs. Andrews died 
 in January, 1873. March 2, 1874, he married, third. Miss Cecelia M. Payne, a sister of his first 
 wife, by whom he had three children, as follows: Henry M., Grace L., and M. Juliette Payne. 
 Mr. Andrews is now 68 years of age, and is drawing a pension of f 30 a month on account

 of disease contracted while in the service. He is now quite feeble in health, having receiveil 
 a partial stroke of paralysis about 13 years ago. In the prime of life he took great interest in 
 town affairs, and was elected justice of the peace several terms. 
 
 John Beeoher came from Connecticut to Butland about 1800, and settled on road 27, on 
 the farm now owned by his son John W., where he purchased 80 acres, made a clearing, and 
 built a log cabin. He was a shoemaker by trade, and was one of the company who built the 
 woolen-mill at Tylerville. He was a religious man and an influential member of the Presby- 
 terian Church. He married Margaret Bichardson and they had four sous and six daughters, 
 of whom three sons are living: Washington and John W. in this town, and Thomas E. in 
 East Watertown. John W. Beecher was born in 1820. In 1842 he married Ehzabeth Wilson 
 and settled on the old homestead. He has had two sons and two daughters, of whom 
 the daughters, Mrs. H. B. Churchill, of East Watertown, and Mrs. J. C. Eiordan, survive. Mr. 
 Beecher has served the town as justice of the peace and notary public, and now resides in 
 the village of Tylerville. 
 
 Enoch Eddy came to this town from Rutland, Vt., in June, 1800, with George White, who 
 was known as " Major " White, and located on the fann now owned by his grandson, E. H. 
 Eddy. He moved his family here in 1801, his son James at that time being 10 years of age. 
 James Eddy married Cynthia Philbrooks, and settled on the homestead where his son E. H. 
 now resides. 
 
 John Southworth, a native of Montpelier, Vt., located in Eutland in 1801. About 1802 or 
 1803 he married Bashaba, daughter of William Howland, and settled on road 27, where he took 
 up a tract of land, which he cleared, and worked at the carpenters' trade. He lived in this 
 town the greater part of his life, dying at the residence of his son William. He had born to 
 him one son and eight daughters. William Southworth, son of John, was born October 23, 
 1816. He married Ortance Devois, of Wilna, April 4, 1854, and settled on the fai-m he now 
 occupies. He served the town as supervisor three years, was assessor nine years, and road' 
 commissioner three years. He worked at the cai-penters' trade 20 years, and is now a farmer. 
 
 David Hickox was born in Connecticut in 1777, and in 1802 came to this town, bringing 
 with him his wife and two sons, Horace and Homer, and took up 200 acres of land in the 
 southeast corner of the town. He built a log house and went to work with a zeal character- 
 istic of the pioneers, subduing the forests and laying the foundation for a future home. He 
 was a natural mechanic, a wheelwright by trade, and furnished the then sparsely settled coun- 
 try with spinning-wheels and reels, many of which may be found in the town to-day. Six. 
 children were born to him after coming to this town, viz.: Abiah, Addison, Virgil, Betsey, 
 Manlius, and Frank, all of whom are deceased save Abiah (Mrs. Elisha Parks), of Elkhart, 
 111., Frank, who hves in Springfield, 111., and Betsey, in Colorado. Mrs. Hickox having died 
 in 1825, he married, in 1827, Mrs. Betsey Phelps, widow of Albert Phelps, of Eutland. Mr. 
 Hickox died April 2, 1850, in Springfield, 111. Several of his grandchildren are now living in 
 this town, among whom are George F. Hickox, who resides on the farm with his father-in- 
 law, William P. Ball, and Charles A. Hickox, who lives with his brother George F. 
 
 Samuel Frink, son of Trustrim and Betsey (Clark) Frink, was born in this town in 1819v 
 His father came here from Vermont in 1806, and located in the north part of the town, on 
 what is known as Clark Hill, and died here in 1865. On this farm Samuel Frink was born 
 and reared, receiving his education in the Eutland Hollow district school, receiving about two- 
 months schooling a year. At the age of 28 years he married Lucy Ann, daughter of Robert 
 Hardy, of this town, and the same year purchased a farm at the "Center," where he resided 
 for 20 years. In 1869 he sold this place, and in 1871 purchased the farm on which he now re- 
 sides, located about half a mile west of the ' ' Center." Mr. and Mrs. Frink have three children, 
 viz.: Carl H. and Asa B., who reside with their parents, and Lucy M. (Mrs. Frank J. Staplin), 
 who resides on a farm one mile north of Eutland. Their oldest child died at the age of I* 
 years. Mr. Frink was supervisor in 1869, and has been town clerk two years. He has been 
 justice of the peace for seven years, and is the present incumbent of that office. He was a 
 Whig in politics until the formation of the Eepublioan party, to which he has since strictly 
 adhered. During the war of the Bebellion he was very active in assisting to raise the town 
 quotas from time to time, and to lighten the burdens of the government. Mr. Frink is now 
 67 years of age, and is still very active in business. His father died at the age of 85 years, and 
 his mother at the age of 80. 
 
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 679 
 
 Jacob Fuller came to Eutland about 1802 or '03, from Shelburne Falls, MaBS., and located 
 in the northern part of the town. He returned to Massachusetts the next year and married 
 DillaThayre, by whom he had five children, viz.; Sophronid, Daphne, Gratia, Luoretia, and 
 Norman J., the latter of whom resides in Carthage. Mr. Fuller was afarmer, and a deacon of 
 the Baptist Church for more than 40 years. He was captain of a company of militia in the 
 War of 1812, and participated in the battle of Sackets Harbor. Both he and his wife died on 
 the old homestead in this town. 
 — John Eddy came from Grafton, Mas8.,to Rutland, in 1803, and settled on the farm, on road 
 27, now occupied by his granddaughter, Mrs. Horace Wilcox. He took up 80 acres, which he 
 occupied untU his death. He had three sons, all born in Massachusetts. John Eddy, Jr., mar- 
 ried Amy Kelsey, of Brattleboro, Vt., and settled upon the old homestead, where he resided

 township its southwestern, Orleans joins it on the west, Alexandria on the 
 northwest, and Antwerp and Philadelphia on the southeast. Indian River 
 traverses the entire length of the town, entering at its southern corner and 
 leaving it in the extreme northeast, whence it passes into St. Lawrence 
 County. The town contains a number of beautiful lakes,* lying principally 
 in the northern part. Of these Butterfield and Mud lakes lie on the Alex- 
 andria line, and partly in that town, Grass Lake is partly in St. Lawrence 
 County, Moon extends into Antwerp, while Hyde, Crystal, Sixbury, Millsite, 
 Red, and Muskallonge lakes, and the Lake of the Woods, lie wholly in 
 Theresa. The margins of these lakes are nearly everywhere bound in by high, 
 rocky shores. The surface along Indian River is broken and traversed by 
 ridges of gneiss rock, with fertile intervals. The ledge known as Bluff Rock„ 
 four miles below Theresa village, on the river, is from 130 to 150 feet in 
 height, and nearly a half mile in length ; in a great part of this distance 
 descending sheer from the summit to the water's edge. Just below Theresa, 
 village, deeply indented and shut in by the hills, is a place on the river known 
 as the " Indian landing," because the red men paddled their canoes up to 
 this spot, at the very foot of the falls, disembarked, and, carrying them over 
 the rugged portage, placed them again in the still waters above the rapids, to 
 continue their journey towards the southeast. This was their great water- 
 way and trail. From the falls to the St. Lawrence County line the surface 
 of the country along the river is level. It is also comparatively free from 
 inequalities in the south and southwest portions. In .other parts, particularly 
 in the lake section, it is broken by abrupt hills and ribbed by barren and for- 
 bidding ledges. Nearly all the township was comprised in the 220,000-acre 
 purchase of Le Ray from the Antwerp Company, January 4, 1800. It has 
 an area of 25,604 acres. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the pubhc house of Marcius B. Ashley, 
 in Theresa village, April 11, 1841, and resulted in the election of the follow- 
 ing officers, viz. : Percival D. BuUard, town clerk ; Abraham Morrow, Michael 
 Servis, and Osmyn Caswell, justices of the peace; Richard Hoover, assessor; 
 Barney N. Hanson and Jonathan Hakes, commissioners of highways ; Stephen 
 Scott, commissioner of common schools ; Samuel W. Strough and Ichabod 
 Cronkite, inspectors of common schools ; Samuel T. Brooks, overseer of the 
 poor; Isaac L. Huntington, Jeremiah R. Hungerford, and Albert W. Coven- 
 hoven, constables. ' Alexander Salisbury, elected supervisor of Alexandria 
 for that year prior to the partition, held over as supervisor of the new town, 
 under a clause of the act of erection, which provided that all persons elected 
 to town offices in Alexandria at the last previous annual meeting should con- 
 tinue to hold those offices, until the expiration of their term, in the towns in

 Spafford's Gazetteer of 1824 says of Theresa in 1821: — 
 
 "Theresa, a small village recently founded at the falls on Indian Eivei', has a grist-mill, 
 saw-mill, ashery, a store, and a tavern." 
 
 In 1880 Theresa had a population of 2,389. The town is situated in the 
 third school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 15 school districts, 
 one of which was joint, in which 18 teachers were employed 28 weeks or 
 more. There were 672 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days 
 attendance during the year was 53,700. The total value of school buildings and 
 sites was $9,150, while the assessed valuation of all the districts was $996,570. 
 The whole amount raised for school purposes was $4,281.03, $2,046.67 of 
 which was received by local tax. Charles E. Whitney was school com-

 Cornwell, clerk. George Rockwell made a survey and map of the corpora- 
 tion, which embraces about 1,200 acres. The village is a station on the U. 
 & B. R. division of the R., W. & O. Railroad, 17 miles from Watertown, 190 
 from Albany, and 332 from New York. It has telegraph, telephone, and ex- 
 press offices, and a population of about 1,100. The principal manufactur- 
 ing establishments of the village are Pool & Cheeseman's grist and saw-mill, 
 C. Wakefield & Son's iron foundry. Reamer, Pool & House's planing-mill, 
 Snell & Makepeace's flouring and feed-mill, E. D. Sheley & Son's lumber- 
 mill and sash and blind factory, A. N. Brittan & Son Manufacturing Com- 
 pany (chairs), and William D. Chapman, Son & Co., manufacturers of fishing 
 tackle. The village also contains two hotels, a weekly newspaper, a banking 
 house, three churches (Presbyterian, Episcopal, and Methodist Episcopal), 
 four general stores, several groceries, hardware stores, jewelry store, two drug 
 stores, shoe stores, several clothiers and merchant tailors, millinery and dress- 
 making establishments, blacksmith shops, wagon shops, harness shops, shoe 
 shops, meat markets, photograph gallery, a furniture dealer and undertaker, 
 a marble shop, and a number of professional men. It is one of the principal 
 villages of the county, and is pleasantly situated at the High Falls on Indian 
 River, which furnishes an excellent water-power. May 12, 1859, the village 
 was visited by a most disastrous fire, which spread devastation on both sides 
 of the river, distroying one barn and two dwellings,* two or three saw-mills, a 
 woodworking shop, machine shop, a foundry, grist-mill, and a cloth factory. 
 
 * The " mill-house " built by Le Ray in 1811, the first house in Theresa, was destroyed 
 in this fire.

 The bridge was also totally destroyed. In 1863 a flood did great damage here, 
 <;arrying away the upper dam, the covered bridge, and other property. 
 
 Soon after midnight, on the morning of April 5, 1890, a most disastrous 
 fire visited the village of Theresa, destroying more than $100,000 worth of 
 property, including every business place in the village with the exception of 
 the American Hotel and one saloon. Forty-two buildings were burned, and 
 17 families were made homeless. The following list of losses, taken from 
 the press reports, is as authentic as can be procured at this time, and is be- 
 lieved to be nearly correct : Getman Brothers, block and store, $8,000 ; J. C. 
 Bidleman, building, $2,500; A. F. Richardson, postoffice building, and 
 J. Kissel, store, $2,500 ; George Lehr & Son, building, $2,000 ; F. M. Peck, 
 building, $3,500, merchandise, $9,000, house, $2,500 ; W. L. Roth, building, 
 •$2,500, stock, $3,000; Caroline Dresser, block, $3,000; E. S. Stockwell, 
 building, $1,500; George Kelsey, building, $2 000; George E. Yost, bank 
 'building, $1,500; Mrs. L. Hannahs, block, $3,500; R. Rodenhurst, brick 
 block, $4,coo, stock hardware, $8,500 ; W. M. Lambie, block, $3,500, stock, 
 ■$9,000 ; F. L. Santway, block, $3,000 ; Masonic hall, $3,000, jewels and 
 records saved ; G. W. Henry, building, $2,000; George E. Yost, building, 
 $2,500; Mrs. William Peck, block, $2,500; J. Courts, building, $2,500; 
 M. L. Statter, block, $3,000, carriagemaking machinery, $1,500; M. L. 
 •Cook, building, $300 ; Chapman & Son, block, $3,000 ; Fr^nk Parker, res- 
 idence, $2,500; W. C. Porter, residence, $2,500; L. W. Tyler, tenement, 
 $3,000 ; Victor Cooper, residence, $2,500 ; J. C. Morrow, residence, $2,000 ; 
 Mrs. E. Parkhurst, residence, $1,500, millinery stock, $1,000; Mrs. H. A. 
 ■Coe, residence, $2,500. Other losses not separately estimated will make a 
 totalof something considerably over $100,000. The fire originated in the store 
 of F. M. Peck, which was closed by the sheriff the previous evening. There 
 was no furnace in the building, and it is understood that there had been no 
 fire in the stove for some time. There are many who believe the beginning 
 of the fire to be the work of an incendiary. The insurance on the property 
 •destroyed was about $50,000. 
 
 West Theresa is a small hamlet in the western part of the town. It was 
 once considered of enough importance to have a postoffice, which was estab- 
 lished in r848, but has long since been discontinued. Warren Parrish was 
 the first postmaster. A postoffice, known as Military Road, was established 
 in the southeastern part of the town, near the line of Le Ray, about 1840. 
 It was in existence but a few years. 
 
 E. D. Sheleys sash, door, and, blind factory, located in the village of The- 
 resa, was established in 1866. The factory is equipped with improved 
 machinery, run by water-power, and furnishes employment to from 30 to 35 
 hands. Mr. Sheley is also an architect, contractor, and builder, and dealer 
 in lumber and hardware.

 els, and barley forks. They manufacture about 40,000 Yankee cheese-boxes 
 annually. 
 
 A. N. Brittan <Sn Son Manufacturing Co. {Limited), established in 1843, 
 incorporated in 1888, were extensively engaged in the manufacture of chairs 
 until June, 1889, when their factory was destroyed by fire. They have not 
 rebuilt it, and are closing out their business. 
 
 Mr. Le Ray early recognized the natural advantages at the High Falls of 
 Indian River (as the locality, now Theresa village, was then designated), and 
 in 1810-11 erected a saw-mill here and produced large quantities of lumber,, 
 which, in the absence of home demand, was rafted down the river to market 
 at Rossie or Ogdensburg. This traffic was interrupted by the War of 1812,. 
 and a great deal of lumber was left to decay at the mill yard. 
 
 It was the purpose of Mr. Le Ray to sell and settle his lands as rapidly as 
 possible, and by clearing and sowing grain he would be able to furnish the 
 means of subsistence to pioneers until they could produce for themselves. 
 Accordingly he caused several clearings to be made in the town, one of loo- 
 acres about a mile above the falls, on the left bank of the river, and another 
 of 40 acres a short distance below the first. Upon this last named clearing 
 the land office was afterwards established, where a stone house was built by 
 Rottiers, the proprietor's agent. In 1813 these clearings,- having previously 
 been seeded to grass, were occupied by about 500 sheep, 60 horned cattle, 
 and 20 horses, the property of Mr. Le Ray, who had employed Capt. John 
 Hoover, afterwards a tavern-keeper at Evans Mills, to guard them. Capt. 
 Hoover's only companions were his wife and John A. Evans ; but it is said 
 he had ammunition and firearms enough to supply a company of militia. He 
 succeeded at one time in capturing, single handed, two of a party of five of 
 the enemy, who came to reconnoiter his position. These he took as prison- 
 ers of war to the camp at Sackets Harbor. 
 
 In 1817 the sale of lands was commenced in Theresa by Mr. Le Ray, the 
 usual terms being three dollars per acre, and seven years' time given for pay- 
 ment. The contracts required the purchaser to build upon the premises, 
 within one year, a house 18 feet square or larger, and to clear, within the 
 same time, four acres of every 100 purchased, the work to be performed in a 
 thorough and proper manner. At first no mineral rights were reserved to 
 the proprietor, but after a few years these were required to be made. In 
 1818 the proprietor, with a view to the building of a village at the falls, 
 caused to be surveyed by Mr. Evans a reservation containing 1,000 acres, 
 lying south and west of the river. This locality was first known as High 
 Falls, but was subsequently named Theresa, by Mr. Le Ray, in honor of his 
 daughter. 
 
 Colonel Sinesa Ball and James Shurtleff, both of whom came in 1817, were 
 the first settlers in Theresa, but it is not known which arrived earliest in the 
 year. Mr. Shurtleff settled where Le Ray's larger clearing had been made, 
 and there opened his house as an inn, the first in the town. Col. Ball settled 
 
TOWN OF THERESA. 693 
 
 -on the Military road, two miles west of the falls. He had served as an officer 
 at Sackets Harbor in the War of 1812, and became colonel of militia. He 
 died near Hyde Lake, in this town, July 1, 1877, aged 86 years. 
 
 In 1819, at the beginning of the year, there were, within the present 
 limits of the town, in addition to the two already named, the following set- 
 tlers : Anson Cheeseman, at that time a sawyer in Le Ray's mill at the falls, 
 afterwards located on a farm between the falls and the Mihtary road; Jere- 
 miah Cheeseman, brother of Anson, who occupied a farm on the south side of 
 the Alexandria road ; a Mr. Moyer, who settled near Shurtleff's ; Joseph Miller, 
 on the west side of the Alexandria road ; James Lake, on the east side of 
 Hyde Lake ; Eliphalet Emery, adjoining Mr. Lake ; and Zalmon Pool, Jr., who 
 ■had purchased in the fall of 1817, and moved here with his family in March, 
 1818, settHng on the Antwerp town hne, on lot No. 138, on the southerly 
 side of Moon Lake. These were the only inhabitants, excepting perhaps a 
 few persons in the employ of Le Ray, who were in no sense settlers. 
 
 In i8'i9 came Jesse Doolittle from Watertown (where he had located as a 
 blacksmith in 1806). He settled on the east side of the river, at the village, 
 on lot 134, and was the first blacksmith in Theresa, the second being Carley 
 Smith, who came from New Hampshire. Mr. Doolittle took up a farm, which 
 he occupied until his death in 1836. The second blacksmith at the falls was 
 Col. Artemas Baker, who came in 1820, and in 1821 borrowed the tools 
 ■of Jesse Doolittle and opened a shop where Bullard's store afterwards 
 stood. During the year 1819 Nathaniel Parker, Ebenezer Lull, Mrs. 
 Keeler (a widow), Allen Cole, Henry R. Morey, Austin Bates, Augus- 
 tus Soper, Michael V. D. Cook, Benjamin Allen, Daniel Allen, and 
 ■others located in the town. Henry Morey was the first carpenter and joiner, 
 and built the earliest houses at the falls. He subsequently removed to Evans 
 Mills and died there. About 1820 Lodowick Sahsbury located on the Mili- 
 tary road, on lot 97, where he built a log house and opened it as a place of 
 public entertainment, the first of the several inns which sprung up on that 
 road in the town of Theresa. Sylvester Bodman, Nathaniel W. Lull, and 
 Dudley Chapman also settled in the town in 1820. The first shoemaker in 
 Theresa was Seymour Murray, who came from Lowville in 1821. Samuel 
 Hall, also a shoemaker, came about 1822. The first tailor, Deacon Abra- 
 ham Morrow, located about 1821. Archibald Fisher came from New Hamp- 
 shire about 1820, and purchased lands near the Orleans hne. He afterwards 
 removed to the village, became a general of militia, and a prominent citizen. 
 In 1822 or '23 Azariah Walton located at the falls. He afterwards removed 
 to Alexandria, and was for more than 18 years deputy collector at the Bay. 
 
 The first white child born within the present limits of Theresa was Ursula, 
 daughtej of Allen Cole, born May 26, 1819. The next birth, which occurred 
 at nearly the same time, was a daughter of Anson Cheeseman. The first 
 marriage was that of Erastus Clark to Kate Underwood, in 1820. Andrew 
 Stone and Hannah, daughter of James Shurtleff, was the next couple mar-

 ried, the ceremony being performed by the father of the bride. The first 
 death was that of Thompson Doolittle, son of Jesse, November 1 8, 1820. The 
 first physician was Dr. James Brooks, who came in 1822, and died here in 
 1823. His successor was Dr. Samuel J. Gains, who in turn was succeeded 
 by Dr. John P. Davison, who came from Pamelia to the falls in 1824. The 
 latter died here September 22, 1865, aged 72 years. His two sons, James- 
 and Nathan M., also practiced here. 
 
 The first grist-mill at the falls was built by Samuel Case, for Le Ray, and 
 completed in 1821. Its site was about the same as that of the present grist- 
 mill at the lower dam. Noah Ashley was the first miller employed. In 1823 
 it became the property of Percival Bullard, and in 1830 passed to the owner- 
 ship of Marcius B. and Stephen Ashley. In 1852, while the property of 
 George Wilson, it was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt, and again burned 
 in 1859. 
 
 In 1819 the first public house at the falls was built, on the site now occu- 
 pied by the Getman House. It was owned by Le Ray and kept by a Mr. 
 Stephenson. In 1821 it was destroyed by fire, through the carelessness of a 
 colored girl who lost her life in the flames. A new public house, being the 
 main part of the present Getraan House, was built on the same spot, in 1824^ 
 by Gen. Archibald Fisher. It was known as the " brick tavern," and was 
 the first building of that material erected in Theresa. Benjamin Barnes both 
 manufactured and laid the bricks. In the early days the Military road was a 
 great route of travel, and several taverns were opened upon it within the 
 limits of Theresa. 
 
 Jonathan Thompson started the first tannery in the town, on Barnes Creek, 
 northeast of the falls settlement, in 1 82 2. Nathaniel W. Lull also started one 
 the same year, near the present railway station. Thompson afterwards re- 
 moved his vats, etc., to a building at the south end of the lower bridge, where 
 he also had a shop for the finishing of his leather. A third tannery was 
 erected by Almond Thwing, in the ravine in the rear of the present American 
 Hotel, and in i860 another was built on the river above the falls and below 
 Seeber's saw-mill. A fulling-mill and clothiery works were put in operation 
 in 1822 by Nathan M. Flower. 
 
 The first merchant in Theresa was Ebenezer Lull, who opened a small 
 store at the falls in 1820. He employed Alexander Salisbury as clerk. 
 Soon afterwards Lull, in partnership with Azariah Walton, entered quite ex- 
 tensively into the lumber trade, shipping staves and square timber to Mon- 
 treal by the St. Lawrence River. Their point of shipment was Alexandria 
 Bay, and they also opened another store at Plessis. In 1825 Mr. Lull sold 
 the store to OIney Pierce, of Watertown, for Anson Ranney. Mr. Ranney, 
 about 1832, built the stone store at the southeast corner of Main and Com- 
 mercial streets, where he continued business many years, having partners at 
 different times. John J. Gilbert opened the second store in town, about 
 1830, in a brick building which he erected near the south end of the lower 
 
TOWN OF THERESA. 695 
 
 bridge. The building was occupied by several different ones, and finally 
 changed to a dwelling and currier shop. The store on the southwest corner 
 of Main and Commercial streets was built in 1837, by A. SaUsbury and 
 Ichabod Thompson. 
 
 Along the margin of Indian River, below Theresa Falls, are bottom lands, 
 aggregating more than 3,300 acres, which, when the white man first saw them,, 
 were covered with soft maple and elm, and at times of high water were sub- 
 merged. The additional flowage, caused by the erection of the dam of the 
 old Rossie smelting works, partially submerged these lands and converted 
 them into soft morasses, covered with coarse grass and button-bushes, and 
 caused them to be generally known as "the drowned lands." The project 
 of draining this tract was agitated, and in 1850, and again in 1865, acts were 
 passed by the legislature conferring the desired power upon commissioners 
 appointed, the expense of the work and damages resulting to be assessed on 
 the lands drained. The commissioners appointed under the act of 1865 
 performed some work, but the desired effect was not produced, although the 
 river was lowered to some extent. Soon afterwards the legislature granted a 
 state appropriation of $10,000, "for the improvement of the navigation of 
 Indian River " at this point, to be expended by Jason C. Morrow, Wilbur F. 
 Porter, of Watertown, and Rodney I. Simonds, of Theresa. At the expira- 
 tion of the term for which these gentlemen were chosen they had expended 
 only a portion of the funds, and the balance remaining in their hands was 
 deposited with the state treasurer. This balance could not be redrawn by 
 new commissioners except under authority of further legislation. Accordingly 
 a new act was procured, investing George E. Yost, L. W. Tyler, and R. I. 
 Simonds with authority, as commissioners, to draw the balance and complete 
 the work, which they did in a manner and with a result satisfactory to the 
 projectors. 
 
 The first steam navigation on Indian River in the town of Theresa was by 
 the Indian Chief, a side-wheel steamer 70 feet in length and 11 feet beam. 
 The hull was launched at Indian landing, below the mills at Theresa, and 
 she received her machinery and commenced running in May following. 
 She was run for about five years, and finally ended her career on the St. 
 Lawrence River, as a ferry boat between Morristown and Brockville. The 
 second steamer on Indian River was a small side-wheeler purchased by 
 W. D. Chapman, upon the Erie Canal, about i860. It was brought by land 
 transportation to Theresa, was run here for a short time, and finally sold and 
 taken to Alexandria Bay. After this came the Lady of the Lake and 
 Sir John Keach, both built by Mr. Chapman, and the Eldorado, built by 
 David Bearup, Esq. The latter was the largest of the five boats named. 
 
 The first school in Theresa (then a part of Le Ray) was taught by a Mrs. 
 Castleman, in the summer of 1820, in a log house on the westerly corner of 
 the 4oacre clearing which Capt. John Hoover had garrisoned as a caltle- 
 gaard seven years before. She taught only the children of two or three 
 
696 TOWN OF THERESA. 
 
 neighboring settlers, and it was not, of course, a public school. The next 
 school was taught by Miss Almira Barnes, at the house of Mrs. Keeler, at the 
 falls settlement. Miss Abigail Salisbury (afterwards Mrs. Percival Bullard), 
 opened a school at about the same time at the house of Carley Smith, on the 
 north side of the river, at the falls. The first building erected expressly for 
 school purposes (probably in 1821) wasa frame structure, located in the pres- 
 ent village of Theresa. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The First Presbyterian Church of Theresa, located at Theresa village, was 
 organized May 8, 1825, by the Presbytery of Watertown, William B. Stowe 
 acting as moderator. Eleven persons were present, but only nine were enrolled 
 as members — four males and five females. William B. Stowe was the first 
 pastor. Abraham Morrow and Sylvester Bodman were chosen elders and 
 deacons. Their first house of worship, a wooden structure, was erected in 
 1838. The present building, a brick structure, was erected in 1879, at a 
 cost of $16,000. It will comfortably seat 250 persons, and is valued, includ- 
 ing grounds, etc., at $18,000. The present membership is 94, under the pas- 
 toral charge of Rev. George W. S. Wenrick. The Sunday-school has 121 
 members. 
 
 The First Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Theresa -^as organ- 
 ized in March, 1836, by Rev. Squire Chase, the first pastor, and at its 
 ■organization consisted of about 15 or 20 members. In 1836 the Presbyte- 
 rians and Methodists built a union church, of wood. In 1850 the Methodists 
 built a church which was burned in i860, and in 1862 the present wooden 
 structure was dedicated. It will comfortably seat 450 persons, cost $7,000, 
 and is now valued, including grounds and other church property, at $10,000. 
 The present membership is about 150, under the pastoral charge of Rev. 
 Edward S. Cheeseman. The Sunday-school has a membership of 200. 
 
 St. James's Church (Episcopal), located on Commercial street, in Theresa 
 village, was organized in 1848, by Rev. Mr. Hills, with four members. Rev. 
 W. Allen Fiske being the first rector. Their house of worship, the present 
 structure, was built in 1851. It will comfortably seat 250 persons, and is 
 valued, including grounds and other church property, at $6,000. The pres- 
 ent membership of the church is 100, of whom 38 are communicants; Rev. 
 George Gustavus Perrine is the present rector. The Sunday-school has six 
 teachers and 40 scholars.

 ^ATATERTOWN. 
 
 WATERTOWN, No. 2, or "Leghorn," of the "eleven towns," was 
 formed from Mexico, March 14, 1800. Rutland wa.s taken off in 
 1802, and Hounsfield in 1806. It is situated upon the south bank 
 of Black River, southwest of the center of the county, and its present boun- 
 daries are as follows : — 
 
 "Beginning in the middle of Black River, on the line between the old survey townships 
 Nos. 2 and 3, of the 'Eleven Towns'; thence south to the southeast corner of township No. 2, 
 ■six and a third miles; thence west to the southwest corner of No. 2, six and a half miles; 
 thence north to the middle of Black River, seven miles; thence easterly along the center of 
 «aid river, two and a half miles, to the city boundary; thence southerly, westerly, and north- 
 erly along that boundary, at various angles, but in a general semicircular direction, for six 
 and a half miles, to the center of Black River, striking two and three-fourths miles from the 
 point of deflection; and thence easterly along the center of the river, two miles and a quarter, 
 to the place of beginning." 
 
 The surface of the town is moderately broken in the central and western 
 parts, rising into hills of considerable height in the southern and eastern por- 
 tions. Black River, which, as just shown, runs along the north side of the 
 northeastern and northwestern sections of the present town, is a rapid stream, 
 affording abundant water-power, which is now being generally utilized. Be- 
 sides this the principal stream is a branch of Sandy Creek, which rises in 
 Rutland, enters Watertown about two miles south from its northeastern cor- 
 ner, runs southwesterly about four miles, and then passes across its southern 
 line into Rodman. Another stream called Mill Creek rises near the center 
 of the town, whence it takes a southeasterly course, finally discharging into 
 Black River Bay, near Sackets Harbor. A narrow marsh, known as " Long 
 Swamp,'' extends from the western line of the city across the northwestern 
 part of the town. The soil of the west part of the town is a dark loam inter- 
 spersed with gravelly ridges, while in the eastern portion the gravel becomes 
 largely predominant, and small bowlders are abundant. The original

 growth of timber in the east was largely sugar maple, with smaller quantities 
 of beech, basswood, and elm, and some pine near the river. In the west the 
 maple became less abundant, and considerable birch was found on the low 
 ground. 
 
 The following is from Spaff'ord's Gazetteer of 1813; — 
 
 " There are about 200 dwelling houses, eight eohool-houses, eight grist and saw-mills, one 
 paper-mill, one wool-oarding machine, fire distilleries, two breweries, a printing office and a 
 weekly paper, and a large number of common mechanics; population, by the census of 1810, 
 l,8i9." 
 
 The same author in 1824 says : — 
 
 "Watertown is a very prosperous and opulent township, having good roads and all the 
 conveniences of social life . Population, in 1821, 2,766, of which number 604 are employed in 
 -agriculture and 314 in manufactures ; taxable property, $270,428 ; acres of improved land, 13,012 ; 
 3,554 cattle, 758 horses, 5,880 sheep; 27,901 yards of cloth were made in families. There are 
 iour saw-mills, 10 grist-mills, three fulling-mills, four carding machines, two cotton and 
 ■woolen factories, two paper-mills, one furnace, one iron works, three trip-hammers, four dis- 
 tilleries, and three asheries."

 Deacon Oliver Bartholomew, a native of Connecticut and a Revolutionary 
 soldier, made the first settlement in the present town of Watertown, in 1800, 
 in its northwestern corner. He was 43 years of age at this time, and resided, 
 in the town until his death in June, 1850, aged 92 years. Almost simulta- 
 neously with the advent of Mr. Bartholomew Watertown was formed by an 
 act of the legislature. It comprised townships Nos. 1, 2, and 3 of the- 
 " eleven towns," now known as Hounsfield, Watertown, and Rutland, andt 
 the main part of the city of Watertown. The first town meeting was held in 
 Rutland. Owing to the burning of the early records the names of the first 
 town officers cannot be given ; but they doubtless lived in Rutland. 
 
 Deacon Bartholomew had purchased his land in this town in October,. 
 1799, and at the same time purchases were also made by Simeon and Ben- 
 jamin Woodruff, E. Allen, James Rogers, and Thomas Delano. During the 
 year 1800 the two Woodruffs, Jotham Ives, and perhaps others came on 
 and built cabins preparatory to settlement, but Deacon Bartholomew was the 
 only one who remained during the winter. In 1801 Simeon and Benjamin, 
 Woodruff came on with their families, being accompanied by their father, 
 Jonah, and their younger brother, Frederick. Their location was^ a short 
 distance northeast of Burr's Mills. Jotham Ives also made a permanent 
 location this year, in the district now called Field's Settlement, being accom- 
 panied by his two brothers, Joel and Dr. Titus Ives. It is said that Jotham 
 Ives raised the first wheat in the present town of Watertown. He was one:

 of the prominent men of the county. Numerous other settlers came in 
 during 1801 and '02, among whom were William Sampson, Rev. Ebenezer 
 Lazelle, Thomas and Job Sawyer, John Blevan, Abram Fisk, Lewis Drury, 
 Sherebiah Fay, Aaron Bacon, Jonathan E. Miles, Jacob Stears, Seth Peck, 
 Henderson Howk, Silas Howk, Job Whitney, and Caleb and Nathaniel 
 Burnham. These settled in the eastern part of the town. In the central 
 part were Eli Rogers, Aaron Brown, Elijah Allen, James Rogers, and others ; 
 while in the west were Joseph Wadleigh, Bennett Rice, Thomas H. Biddle- 
 com, John and Zebediah Buell, Friend Dayton, and others. The following 
 also purchased land here in 1800, and it is known that some of them, though 
 not all, settled in the town during the next two years : Heman Pellet, Silas 
 Alden, David Bent, Luther Demming, Ira Brown, Calvin Brown, Abraro 
 Jewett, James Glass, N. Jewett, Benjamin Allen, Henry Jewett, Ephraim^ 
 Edwards, and John Patrick. All these purchases were made by contract, 
 and it was not until August 20, 1802, that the first deeds in the township 
 were given to Jotham Ives, Elijah Allen, David Bent, Ezra Parker, William 
 Parker, Joseph Tuttle, and Joseph Moors. 
 
 Meanwhile Mr. Stow, as agent for the proprietor, anticipating the wants 
 of the pioneers, who were rapidly coming into the new town, contracted with 
 Hart Massey for the erection of a saw-mill and rude grist-mill for grinding 
 corn, to be built that season. Massey was to furnish three acres of land and 
 erect the mills, while Stow was to contribute provisions, mill-stones, irons, 
 and, in short, whatever cost money. The expenses were to be equalized 
 when the work was done, and the mills to be owned in partnership by Stow 
 and Massey. The site chosen for these mills was on the branch of Sandy 
 Creek, before mentioned, a few rods below the cascades, just within the present 
 town of Watertown, on its eastern edge. The saw-mill was built according 
 to contract, and the grist-mill was completed about 1802. These were the 
 first mills in Jefferson County south of the river. In 1802 they were sold to 
 Capt. John Burr, who, with several sons, located there at that time, and 
 remained for many years. From this family the place received the name of 
 Burrville, which it has since retained. 
 
 Immigration was very rapid, and in 1802 there were about 60 families in 
 the present town. The first minister in the town, and one of the first in the 
 county, was Rev. Ebenezer Lazelle, who came in 1801 or 1802, and, oddly 
 enough as it sounds to modern ears, owned the first distillery in town, situa- 
 ted at Burrville. He is supposed to have built it. In 1803 he sold it to 
 Thomas M. Converse, who soon after opened a store at Burrville (the first 
 in the present town of Watertown) in company with Hon. Jabez Foster, the 
 firm name being Foster & Converse. After Mr. Foster's removal to Water- 
 town village, about 1807, Mr. Converse continued the business alone, also 
 managing his distillery and an ashery, and being the leading man in the vil- 
 lage until his death in 1811.

jo6 TOWN OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 The first birth in town was that of a son of Adam Bacon, of Watertown 
 Center. He was given the name of the proprietor of the town, and the pro- 
 prietor, to reciprocate this favor, gave the child the munificent sum of 50 
 cents. Sally Rogers, daughter of Eli, was the first female child born in town. 
 Her parents resided near the Center. The first death, it is believed, was 
 that of John Arnold, who resided on the creek below Burrville. 
 
 In 1805 Jefferson County was erected, and the county seat was fixed at 
 the little village of Watertown, the growth of which rapidly increased, and 
 the surrounding town, of course, had a considerable access of immigrants, 
 who desired to be near such a promising market. Among those who located 
 in the eastern part of the town from 1803 to 181 2 were Capt. Tilley Rich- 
 ardson, Timothy and Anson Hungerford, Jonathan Baker, William Hunting- 
 ton, John Gotham, Seth Bailey, Doris Doty, Cyrus Butterfield, Cyrenius 
 Woodworth, Levi Cole, Samuel Thurston, Capt. Job Whitney, Anthony and 
 Andrew Sigourney, William Fellows, and Samuel Thurston. In the center 
 were Corlis Hinds, Reuben Scott, Benjamin Green, and many others. In 
 the west was Elijah Field, of Woodstock, Vt., who gave the name of Field's 
 Settlement to the neighborhood where he located in 1805, Adam Blodgett, 
 
 Samuel Bates, ■ • Bates, Spencer, and Asaph Butterfield. In the 
 
 northwest was Capt. James Parker and others. In the south, on " Dry Hill," 
 was Joseph Sheldon, who came on with Capt. Richardson in March, 1803. 
 
 Burrville, in the early days, was an important rival of Watertown. An axe 
 factory and trip hammer, run by water-power, was built by William Lamson, 
 the pioneer blacksmith, who engaged in the manufacture of edge tools. James 
 Mann built a tannery there in 1806, which passed into the hands of Deacon 
 Theophilus Redfield, who also conducted a shoe shop. A carding-mill was 
 started about 1809, and soon after this, before the War of 1812, a cloth-dress- 
 ing-mill. Septimus S. Adams was one of the earhest tavern-keepers. These 
 establishments, together with the store, ashery, and distillery of Mr. Converse, 
 made quite a lively little village. The first church in town, and perhaps the 
 second in the county, was organized in Burrville by Rev. Ebenezer Lazelle 
 in 1803. Meetings were held in Caleb Burnham's barn, and were attended 
 by the settlers from Watertown village for a number of years. Hart Massey 
 made the journey quite regularly, he and his sons walking, and his wife riding 
 on horseback, with her daughter behind her on a pillion. In 1811 the set- 
 tlers in other parts of the town becoming tired of traveling so far to church, 
 it was proposed to build a house of worship at Watertown Center, by an or- 
 ganization styled " The Religious Society of Watertown." This project 
 was interrupted by the War of 1812. Dr. Craft P. Kimball, who located in 
 Burrville before the War of 181 2, was the principal physician in town, and 
 continued in practice there until his death in 1872. 
 
 The manufacture of potash was an important industry during the settle- 
 ment of the town (as was the case in all heavily wooded sections of the 
 country), and was about the only production of the settlements that would

 pay the expense of transportation to market and leave a fair margin in favor 
 of the producer. When the embargo was declared in 1808, stopping inter- 
 <;ourse with Canada, and thus preventing the exportation of potash by the 
 only available route, which was down the St. Lawrence River, the people of 
 Jefferson County felt as if they were ruined, and many of them did not hesi- 
 tate to evade the law by every means in their power. Not only was an 
 immense amount of potash illegally exported to Canada, but large quantities 
 of manufactured goods were imported in the same way. Hart Massey was 
 collector of the district, and had many exciting skirmishes with the smugglers. 
 A Dutch farmer named Folts, who resided on Folts Hill, is said to have been 
 one of the most successful evaders of the law, and on several occasions nar- 
 Towly escaped detection. 
 
 By the time of the War of i8r2 Watertown looked very much like an old 
 settled country. On the principal roads more than half the houses were of 
 frame, the trough- covered log school- houses were replaced by frame ones, 
 and the whole town was pretty well cleared up, except on some of the hills 
 and along the river in the northeastern part. The tract between the State 
 road and the river, in the northeastern part of the town, was the latest con- 
 siderable section to be settled. A man named White moved there in 1820 
 and in 182 1 William Huntington settled at the point now called Huntington- 
 ville, where he built a dam across to Huntington Island and erected a large 
 «aw-mill. Shortly afterwards a scythe factory was built at the same point, 
 which was soon followed by a shingle machine and clover-mill. These build- 
 ings were carried away by the floods of Black River, between 1840 and 1850. 
 The dam soon after shared the same fate, and Huntingtonville, as a manu- 
 facturing place, ceased to exist, although at one time it bid fair to be of con- 
 siderable importance in that line. 
 
 The first uniformed military company in Jefferson County was the Water- 
 town Rifles, formed principally in the eastern part of the town in the spring 
 of 1813. William Sampson, of Burrville, was the first captain ; Jonathan 
 Miles was the first lieutenant; and John Gotham (afterwards Colonel 
 Gotham) was orderly-sergeant. Most of the young and middle aged men of 
 the locality were members. When Sackets Harbor was attacked in May^ 
 1813, this company responded promptly and participated in the battle. The 
 company organization was kept up until 1846, when it was disbanded on the 
 repeal of the old militia law. 
 
 In March, 1803, a State road was laid out from Rome to Brownville, run- 
 ning through the western part of this town, and another running down Black 
 River through the northeastern part. Both were speedily constructed, and 
 each has since been called the State road. The building of other roads ad- 
 vanced proportionately with the settlement of the town. In 1848 the Wat- 
 ertown and Sacket's Harbor plank road was laid. It was soon followed by 
 plank roads radiating in almost every direction from Watertown village. 
 The Watertown Central plank road, which extended from the pavements of 
 
7o8 TOWN OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 the village to Watertown Center, was designed to connect with a line of 
 roads to Syracuse, but the early completion of the railroad prevented the 
 consummation of the enterprise. In September, 1851, the Watertown &r 
 Rome Railroad was completed to the former village, running for about five 
 and a half miles through the present town. In 1873 the Carthage, Watertown 
 & Sackets Harbor Railroad was completed to Watertown, and in 1874. 
 extended to Sackets Harbor, which gave this town five miles more of rail- 
 road. Both roads are now under the management of the R., W. & O. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 The First Congregational Church of Watertown, organized at Burrville,^ 
 June 3, 1803, was the first church in town and probably the second in the 
 county. The organization was accomplished by Rev. Ebenezer Lazelle, with 
 15 members. The meetings were held in barns, school-houses, and private 
 residences. No regular pastor was employed, the preaching being done 
 by missionaries until October, 1815, when Rev. Daniel Banks was ordained 
 and installed pastor of this church, and remained until 1821. In January, 
 1821, the form of government was changed to Presbyterian. Three churches 
 have sprung from this — a Congregational one in 1830, since extinct; the 
 Second Presbyterian, of Watertown village, in 1831; and a Congregational 
 Church at Burrville in 1834 or '36. 
 
 In 1833 the "Burrville Society" was organized by persons of the Con- 
 gregationalist, Methodist, and Universalist denominations for the purpose of 
 erecting a union church edifice. Dr. Craft P. Kimball, George M. Jenks, 
 and Elnathan Lucas were the first trustees. The next year a small house of 
 worship was erected by this society at Burrville, at an estimated cost of 
 $1,550. This, it will be understood, was a secular society, merely having 
 charge of the house. For many years this edifice was used by the three de- 
 nominations before mentioned, the Congregationalists being the last tO' 
 occupy it. 
 
 The Burn<ille Congregational Society, at Burrville village, was organized in 
 1834 or '36, by Rev. David Spear, the first pastor, and at its organization 
 consisted of 20 members. Services are held in the union house of worship 
 erected in 1834. It will comfortably seat 250 persons and cost about $1,500. 
 The present membership is 10, and Rev. William T. Stokes, of Watertown, is 
 the pastor. The church is in a prosperous condition and is partially sup- 
 ported by a legacy of $2,800.

 CITY OF ^WATERTOWN. 
 
 THE CITY OF WATERTOWN is the metropolis and county seat of 
 Jefferson County, and is niost advantageously located for the utiliza- 
 tion of the almost unlimited and inexhaustible water-power furnished 
 by Black River. The river divides the city into two unequal parts, the larger 
 portion being on the south side of the stream. Two large islands, Beebee's 
 and Sewall's, beside several smaller ones, are encompassed by the various 
 channels within the city limits. Of these Beebee's contains about five and 
 Sewall's 15 acres. The total area occupied by the city approximates 6,50a 
 acres, nearly three-fourths of which is upon the south side of the river.

 What has made and maintains the city of Watertown as a place of com- 
 mercial importance is principally the excellent water-power furnished by 
 Black River. This stream has its source almost in the very heart of the Adi- 
 rondack wilderness — a region abounding in forests and containing hundreds of 
 lakes. The actual source, of the river is a small lake in Hamilton County, 
 situated in a direct line about loo miles from Watertown. In its 
 winding course the river must traverse a much greater distance. Within its 
 first 25 miles it receives the out-flow of numerous lakes of various sizes, 
 most prominent of which are the South Branch, North Branch, Chubb, Bisby, 
 and Gull lakes. The latter is 2,018.88 feet above tidewater. These lakes, 
 with their out-letting streams, drain a large portion of Herkimer County and 
 the northeastern portions of Oneida County. About 30 miles from its source 
 Black River receives the contents of Moose River, a formidable rival which 
 has its source in Lake Fonda, in the northwestern part of Hamilton County. 
 It flows across Hamilton County and unites with Black River at Port Ley- 
 den, Lewis County. Moose River is about 50 miles in length, and among 
 a score of others receives the contents of Moose Lake (2,239.21 feet above 
 tide water), Lime Kiln Lake, the Fulton chain, comprising the 4th, 7th, and 
 8th lakes, so-called. Shallow Lake, etc. A few miles farther on Black River 
 receives Fish Creek, which latter is the outlet of Brantingham Lake. Be- 
 sides other smaller inlets near the last mentioned, its next contribution is re- 
 ceived within a few miles, when Independence River empties into it, the con- 
 tents of a lake of the same name situated near the eastern boundary of Her- 
 kimer County. Ten miles farther on, at Croghan, Lewis County, Black 
 River receives the contents of Beaver River, which has its source in Smith's 
 Lake, in the extreme northern part of Herkimer County. This river is the 
 outlet of almost innumerable smaller lakes, among the more prominent be- 
 ing Albany, Rock, Burnt, and Salmon lakes, and the Red River chain. Deer 
 River enters from the south. There are other considerable branches enter- 
 ing Black River from the south, and it is estimated that this stream, with its 
 numerous tributaries, drains a territory of 2,000 square miles, or 1,280,000- 
 square acres. It will thus be seen that Black River gives abundant assur- 
 ance of never ending water-power. For miles above and below the city the 
 liver flows rapidly over a solid bed of Trenton and Birds- Eye limestone ; but 
 coming as it does from a granite region it is almost as soft as the purest rain 
 water. The rocky nature of the bed and banks of the stream in the vicinity 
 of Watertown is the fullest guarantee against all disasters arising from the 
 washing away of banks or the undermining of dams. An almost natural 
 water-power is furnished here, with a full and rapid flow, requiring little out- 
 
■jlS CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 lay in any artificial direction. Just above the suspension bridge on Mill 
 street the Black River Falls are to be found, which in tilnes of high water 
 furnish one of the most picturesque scenes imaginable. A beautiful and use- 
 ful stream is Black River, and not one-quarter of its power in Jefferson County 
 has been utilized. The city is situated in the midst of a rich agricultural dis- 
 trict, which fact has also contributed largely to its growth and present pros- 
 perity. 
 
 The erection and organization of the towns of Watertown and Paraelia, 
 from which the city was formed, have been recorded in preceding chapters. 
 Our province under this heading will be the compilation of materials pertain- 
 ing to the territory comprised within the present limits of Watertown city. 
 The first to acquire lands and establish homes here, and whose rude habita- 
 tions formed the nucleus of the present beautiful and prosperous city, were 
 Henry Coffeen and Zachariah Butterfield, who arrived in March, 1800, both 
 coming from Schuyler, Oneida County. Coffeen arrived a little in advance 
 of Butterfield, coming via Lowville, with his family and household goods 
 upon an ox-sled. The same year^ and soon after Coffeen and Butterfield, 
 came Hart Massey, who purchased 90 acres fronting on Washington street, 
 to which he soon after added 100 acres adjoining and including the site of the 
 present railroad station. Mr. Massey removed his family to his new home 
 in March, 1801. In describing the locations of these and other pioneers, 
 and the early structures erected by them, we quote from an article published 
 in the Watertown Daily Times, April 14, 1887, from the pen of Marcellus 
 Massey, a son of the early settler. It will be seen that their lands cornered 
 upon what is now Public Square: — 
 
 " Mr. Coffeen's first cabin was built almost exactly upon the site where the 
 National Bank of Watertown now stands. His land extended westerly from 
 that point along the road leading on the south side of the river to Brownville, 
 — including all between the street subsequently bearing his name, and Black 
 River, — to where later he built a dam and mills; thence to and beyond the 
 present fair grounds, to the farm at the top of Foltz hill, where his son, 
 Henry Hale Coffeen, afterwards lived and died. Mr. Butterfield placed his 
 house on the spot where the building known as Washington hall now stands. 
 The location or extent of his lands are not known. Mr. Massey built upon 
 his land near where the front entrance to Paddock's arcade now is, his land 
 commencing at the corner of Arsenal street, then called Columbia, and ex- 
 tending along Washington as far as the present Presbyterian Church ; thence 
 westward a mile or more beyond the present crossing of the tracks of the 
 Rome Railroad. 
 
 " Mr. Coffeen presently sold lots on the front for dwellings and business pur- 
 poses. Among other buyers were Judge Egbert Ten Eyck and Chauncey 
 Calhoun, both of whom built houses well back from the street. Fronting 
 this street, further north, was laid out the first burial-place in the village, 
 where the evidences denoting former use may still be seen on the fenced

 plot in the rear of the Episcopal Church. As opportunity offered, Mr. Mas- 
 «ey made sales from his land fronting Washington and Arsenal streets, com- 
 pelling him, not many years later, to vacate the cabin and move into a new 
 and larger house built on his ground further up the street. The first consid- 
 •erable section of land sold by him consisted of many acres extending west- 
 ward as far as the present Massey avenue. The purchaser of this was a 
 lawyer of some eminence from the East, named Amos Benedict. The land 
 was for the most part cleared, and the rear portion used by Deacon Jesse 
 Stone, the father-in-law of Mr. Benedict, for tillage and pasturage. Mr. 
 Stone subsequently acquired other land, west of Massey street, on both sides 
 of the Sackets Harbor road. The street opened later bearing his name — 
 which was exceedingly appropriate — had for many years previously been 
 used by him as a lane or driveway in passing from his barn to the farm be- 
 yond. His house on Washington street, of wood, occupied nearly the site 
 upon which the brick house of Pearson Munday was built not many years 
 ago. Orin Stone, his son, was a merchant here for many years. His store, 
 of brick, stood one or two doors east of the National Bank of Watertown, 
 with narrow steps leadmg up to the door as for a dwelling, for which it had 
 perhaps previously been built. 
 
 " There are still in existence printed copies of a map, or sketch, drawn by 
 the late Dyer Huntington in 1804, showing the streets in use, the buildings 
 of every kind in the village, by whom -and for what purpose occupied. There 
 appears upon it, among others, a frame dwelling built and occupied by Hart 
 Massey, on the plot on Washington street on which stands the present man- 
 sion of Edwin Paddock. The frame dwelling referred to is believed to have 
 been the first of that character built in Watertown. It was not very long af- 
 ter the land was sold to Mr. Benedict before a similar plot adjoining, of 
 ■about the same dimensions, was sold to Judge Jabez Foster, including that 
 on which Mr. Massey's house had been built. The latter was not included 
 in the sale, and before long it was removed by its owner and rebuilt at a dis- 
 tant and more central location upon his farm. 
 
 " The buyers of the plots named each set about building the most spacious 
 and elegant residence by far yet undertaken in the village, if not in the county. 
 Quite a considerable portion of that built by Mr. Benedict forms, at the pres- 
 ent time, a conspicuous part of the mansion occupied for many years by the 
 late Oscar Paddock, and now by his family. The one built by Judge Foster 
 was occupied by him till after the death of his wife, when it was sold to, and 
 occupied by, Levi Beebee. After his removal it became the property and 
 the residence of the late Loveland Paddock till his death, when it succeeded 
 to his son Edwin. It was torn down by the latter and replaced by the ele- 
 gant residence now occupied by himself and his family. The well dug on the 
 place, and used during the occupancy of Mr. Massey, is still in use. 
 
 " No better evidence can be adduced of the abounding faith and confi- 
 <Jence of those big-headed and sagacious men, in the future and ultimate

 growth and importance of the section where they had planted their homes, 
 than the exceedingly liberal release of land fronting the Square, by the own- 
 ers, for the free use of the public forever as a grand //sza, or common park. 
 In all the years of the past, and, if possible, more now than ever, it is re- 
 garded with pride by -the citizens, and is the admiration of visitors. The 
 same spirit is alike manifest in the appropriation of land for, Washington 
 street, as far as it then extended in the village. All beyond was known only 
 as the road to Adams. The allowance of width in the laying out of Wash- 
 ington street extended only as far as the jog yet seen opposite the Presbyte- 
 rian Church, which also marks the bounds of the original purchase of land 
 by Judge Massey in this direction. 
 
 " South of the fine houses of William Benedict and Judge Foster, the next 
 was a frame dwelling, every way neat, with piazza on front and side, built by 
 Orville Hungerford, a prominent merchant and business man, near the pres- 
 ent corner of Clinton street, quite a number of years before that street was 
 opened. It was occupied by Mr. Hungerford till the larger and more elegant 
 stone house, still occupied by his family, was built farther south upon the 
 same street. After the removal thereto the former was occupied for several 
 years by Dr. Henry H. Sherwood and Dr. Alpheus S. Greene respectively, 
 both of whom were in the practice of their profession, and each for one or 
 more terms received the appointment of postmaster at Watertown. The 
 house was afterwards purchased and occupied by Edwin Paddock, by whom- 
 it was materially changed and improved. 
 
 " First a gateway, and afterwards a lane, used in common by Mr. Hunger- 
 ford and his next neighbor south, were the incipient steps leading to the open- 
 ing of Clinton street. The first building erected on the street for any pur- 
 pose besides barns, sheds, etc., was one of brick, used for a dwelling. The 
 materials used for this purpose were the same made use of in building the 
 first academy, in 1811, removed in 1820 to give place to the church about 
 to be erected on the same ground. The new building was erected under the 
 charge or direction of Mr. Hungerford, intended for a young ladies' school,, 
 and when completed was used as such by the Misses Hooker, who afterwards 
 became Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Wood. It was some years later before 
 other buildings were built upon Clinton street, or it was known by that 
 name. 
 
 " The next house was built for, and occupied by. Rev. George S. Board- 
 man, the second Presbyterian minister settled in Watertown. This house is 
 of stone, but clapboarded, giving it the appearance of being of wood. Olney 
 Pearce, a merchant, owning the adjoining lot fronting Washington street, 
 built upon it a fine house, which was subsequently destroyed by fire, and very 
 soon after replaced by him with a larger and more expensive one of stone. 
 The latter, after the death of Mr. Pearce, was purchased and occupied by 
 Gen. W. H. Angell, and later sold to George Paddock, who modernized and^ 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 72I 
 
 enlarged it, and it has since been looked upon as among the finest and most 
 picturesque residences on the street. 
 
 " A few years later Gardner Keyes erected a stone house on Washington 
 street, a short distance below Clinton, the same now occupied by the family 
 of the late Robert Lansing. About the same time the family of the late 
 Adriel Ely built a similar dwelling on an adjoining lot, where he dwelt till the 
 end of his hfe, and his family for many more years. It is now owned by 
 E. Q. Sewall, Esq., whose wife is a niece of Mrs. Adriel Ely. It has been 
 changed by Mr. Sewall to the Swiss chatelet style, to the extent that those 
 formerly knowing it best would scarcely recognize it as the same. 
 
 " Before the Presbyterian Society had completed their house of worship 
 they had also erected, nearly opposite their church, a plain brick dwelling, 
 intended for a parsonage, and so occupied for a time by the Rev. Daniel 
 Banks. His successor. Rev. George S. Boardman, was without family, hence 
 there was no further present use for the parsonage. It was then rented for 
 a number of years to a Mr. Seward, a bookbinder, who with several members 
 of his family were in the employ of Knowlton & Rice. It was later sold to and 
 occupied by the family of Judge Egbert Ten Eyck, whose death there oc- 
 curred in 1844. It then became the property and home of his son-in-law, 
 the late Hon. Joseph MuUin. It was then enlarged to almost or quite 
 double its former proportions. It remains the property of the family, and is 
 occupied by such of them as are yet unmarried. 
 
 " There were not, at the early period of which we speak, very many other 
 notable dwellings, and the few others were widely scattered throughout the 
 village. The two erected by the Honorable Micah Sterling, one on the 
 street and the other in the park bearing his name, were both at different 
 times occupied Mr. Sterling. The former is now the residence of the family 
 of the late John Clarke, and the latter is occupied by those who yet remain of 
 the Sterling family. 
 
 "The residence of the Whittleseys on Court street was large and preten- 
 tious, but never home-like in appearance. After their removal the family of 
 Esquire Calvin McKnight lived in it till after his death, when it was torn 
 down, and the high ground on which it stood leveled to a grade with the 
 other buildings upon the street. The elder Amasa Trowbridge, distinguished 
 as a physician and surgeon throughout this section of the state, erected on 
 Arsenal street a large, fanciful building for a residence and office combined, 
 in which he lived till bis acceptance of a professorship in the medical col- 
 lege at Willoughby, Ohio, v/hither he removed with his family. 
 
 " Last, not least, we shall be excused for mentioning one other residence, 
 and perhaps as well worthy of note as others which have been mentioned. 
 The house referred to is the one built of brick by Hart Massey, in 1812, on 
 his farm, at a considerable distance from the center of the village. For the 
 time it was looked upon as large, and in every way exceedingly fine and expen- 
 sive. On many accounts it was thought well worth a visit from those visit-

 ing the town. The glass for it, procured in Albany, was the best English 
 Crown brand, size 12x18, which had rarely if ever before been seen so far 
 away in the country. Moreover, it is believed to have been the first brick 
 dwelling in the town, if not in the county of Jefferson. The arsenal, acad- 
 emy, and several stores had been built previously, but none intended solely for 
 a dwelling. If this be as stated it is certainly no trifling cause for distinc- 
 tion on the part of the builder to have been, as is claimed in this instance, 
 the builder, owner, and occupant of one of the first three log-houses, the first 
 frame and the first brick house at the commencement of an humble settle- 
 ment, smce become one of the most beautiful interior cities in the state. 
 
 " At this time there were no streets, as such, or even roads leading to this 
 dwelling m the fields, except by following Arsenal to and thence along the 
 Fields Settlement road to a lane leading 30 or 40 rods to tl}e house. It was 
 by many thought singular, at least, that so practical a person as Judge 
 Massey should build so find and expensive a house so far away away from 
 the village, and withal placing the main door of entrance (with its brass 
 knocker) upon the back side of the house. His reply, when spoken to on the 
 subject, was characteristic, and to the effect that in the course of time the 
 house would be found to face in the right direction and the front door appear 
 on the right side. It is still standing, no longer alone and unabashed by any 
 of its present surroundings in the modern and model city of Watertown. It 
 is still, as it has ever been, owned by the family. 
 
 " There was not at that time, nor for many years afterwards, anything more 
 like streets than the common roads, designated only by the places to which 
 they led, as to Brownville, to Sackets Harbor, to Adams, and to other well 
 known localities in the county. 
 
 " Mr. Cofifeen, with most of his interests in land and property at the north 
 end of the village, seemed to have become aware of the fact that the spacious 
 public square at the center was of considerable consequence, as a matter of 
 pride and convenience to those having already or were seeking to locate in 
 that section. He thereupon set about securing a similar, advantage to the 
 business and property nearer to the location in which he was more largely in- 
 terested. This was sought to be and was finally accomphshed by procuring 
 for that purpose a large space, commencing at the north near the original 
 court-house, extending in the other direction as far as the crossing of the 
 Sackets Harbor road of the same width as it now appears. Inasmuch as the 
 great name of Washington had been appropriated to the former, it was 
 thought that the name of ' Madison ' would be quite suitable for the street 
 and square of the west end. Aside from the evidence given of the liberality 
 of its donors it is not believed to have conferred the material benefits ex- 
 pected, or proved to any perceptible extent attractive to those who were seek- 
 ing locations, either for business purposes or residences. On the contrary, it 
 is not certain that the location of the court-house, and especially the jail, was 
 not at the time, and long afterwards, a detriment rather than an advantage 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 723 
 
 to that section of the village. It did, however, provide for the citizens 
 in general a capital base-ball field, and also a convenient place for military 
 parades. 
 
 " As soon as the question of the site of the county buildings had been set- 
 tled there was commenced the erection of three taverns on either side of the 
 liver, six in all, in order to be ready in time to secure business and patron- 
 age from those who might visit the courts at a distance. About the same 
 time, or a little later, Mr. Coflfeen proceeded to erect near by an immense 
 structure of wood, afterwards known as the old sugar-house. There was not 
 as far as known, any design in regard to its use, unless as a make-show of 
 growth and business in that vicinity. It was later at one period used as a 
 refinery, and for casting into molds sugar for table use in place of that of 
 English make obtained through Canada. This having proved a failure the 
 lower part was next used as a grocery store and afterwards as a bakery, con- 
 ducted by a man named Ingraham. It was finally destroyed by fire. 
 
 " Besides the attempted diversion from the center referred to a singular 
 movement was made in favor of the Factory Square, or village at a later pe- 
 riod. This was after the cotton factory was completed and in motion ; also 
 the woolen-mills of Lovell Kimball, the foundry and machine shops of 
 George Goulding and N.'M. Wiley, the removal hither of the immense tan- 
 nery of Jasan Fairbanks, and various accessions of mechanical and other en- 
 terprises about that time, together gave much encouragement, inclining those 
 most earnest in the movement to be both confident and aggressive. In the 
 early and later growth of Watertown it is interesting, especially to those who 
 have ever made it their home, to note the fact that in selecting names for 
 streets, old and new, after a few in honor of distinguished statesmen, and as 
 many more indicated by local considerations, the rest have been chosen from 
 among the foremost citizens of the different decades, first of the village, and 
 afterwards of the city. However that may be it is entirely within the bounds 
 of truth to say that whenever and by whomsoever the choice was made they 
 are good names, all of them." 
 
 The autumn previous to their location here Henry Coffeen and Zachariah 
 Butterfield had visited the country and purchased farms. Oliver Bartholo- 
 mew arrived in March, 1800, and settled one and a half miles from the 
 present village of Brownville, and his family, with those of Coffeen and Butter- 
 fierd, were the only ones to spend the winter of i8oo-or in the town. Dur- 
 ing the following season many others who had previously purchased farms 
 tame on, and the settlement on Black River rapidly became a place of im- 
 portance. 
 
 During the first summer of the settlement, in lieu of mills, the most ac- 
 cessible being in Canada, a huge samp mortar, with a spring pole and pestle 
 attached, was erected on the Public Square, by hollowing out a large stump. 
 This served the purpose of a grain-mill to the settlement. In 1802 Jonathan 
 Cowan began the erection of a grist-mill at the bridge that crosses to Bee- 
 
724 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 bee's Island, which he got in operation the following year. In 1802 Dr. 
 Isaiah Massey opened an inn, probably near the site of Paddock's arcade. 
 Hough's JItsiory ssLys: "During two or three succeeding years John Pad- 
 dock, Chauncey Calhoun, Philo Johnson, Jesse Doolittle, William Smith, 
 Medad Canfield, Aaron Keyes, Wilham Huntington, John Hathaway, Seth 
 Bailey, Gershom Tuttle, and others, several of whom were mechanics, joined 
 the settlement, and at a very early day a school-house was built on the site of 
 the Universalist Church, which served also as a place of religious meetings. 
 In 1805 John Paddock and William Smith opened the first store in the place, 
 their goods being brought from Utica in wagons. An idea may be had of 
 the hardships of that period, compared with modern facilities, from the fact 
 that in March, 1807, 17 sleighs, laden with goods for Smith & Paddock, 
 were 23 days in getting from Oneida County to Watertown, by way of 
 Redfield. The snows were in some places seven feet deep, and the valleys 
 almost impassable from wild torrents resulting from the melting of snows. 
 The winter had been remarkable for its severity and the destructive spring 
 floods." 
 
 In 1803 a bridge was built below the village, near the first court-house, by 
 Henry Coffeen and Andrew Edmonds, over which the State road afterwards 
 passed, and in 1805 the dam was built below the bridge, at which, the same 
 year, a saw-mill was built on the north side, and in 1806 a grist-mill by Seth 
 Bailey and Gershom Tuttle. A saw-mill was built on the Watertown side 
 by R. & T. Potter a little below, and a saw and grist-mill soon after by 
 H. H. Coffeen. 
 
 The first brick building in the county was erected by William Smith in the 
 summer of 1806. It was two stories in height, with a stone basement, Mr, 
 Smith working upon it with his own hands. The bricks were manufactured 
 by Eli Rogers, on the point of land between Public Square and Franklin 
 street. The site of this building is now occupied by Washington hall. 
 
 In 1805 Henry Coffeen, Zachariah Butterfield, Hart Massey, Isaiah Mas- 
 sey, Jesse Doolittle, Medad Canfield, Aaron Keyes, and Jonathan Cowan, 
 who owned the land now comprising Public Square, and believing this loca- 
 tion would in time become an important village, held an informal meeting, at 
 which they agreed to give forever to the pubHc, for a park or place, a^piece 
 of land 12 rods wide and 28 long, and another running south at right angles 
 to this, nine rods wide and about 32 long. A map of the premises was made 
 by John Simons, a surveyor, and deposited in the town clerk's office, but this 
 was afterwards lost. Mr. Cowan subsequently attempted to resume title to 
 a por(ion of the land, but his mercenary actions were without effect. Judge 
 Nathan Williams deciding in court that, although the claimant had never 
 deeded land on the Public Square, yet he had acknowledged its existence by 
 bounding certain conveyances upon it. 
 
 The business of the place early centered around Public Square, especially 
 at its west end, and on Court and Washington streets; and in 1815 John 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 725 
 
 Paddock erected a three-story block, which was the first edifice of its size in 
 the village. The corner of Arsenal and Washington streets became, at an 
 early day, the site of a two-story wooden tavern, and was occupied until 1827, 
 when an association of citizens, desiring to have a hotel in the place that 
 should compare with those of the first-class in cities, was formed under the 
 name of the Watertown Hotel Company, having a capital of $20,000. In 
 the same year they erected the American Hotel, and this establishment con- 
 tinued to be owned by the company until it burned, in 1849, when the site 
 was sold for $10,000, and another building of the same name was erected on 
 its site by individual enterprise. 
 
 The Public Square of to-day is surrounded by the principal commercial in- 
 stitutions of the city. It is laid out into two large oval parks, shaded with 
 large trees, and sodded as lawns, with a smaller one between the two, con- 
 taining an elegant fountain. Spacious driveways pass completely around the 
 three ovals, the larger ones being provided with neat stands where, on pleas- 
 ant summer evenings, the music of the city band Hfts the weight of business 
 from the minds of the weary workers and fills their hearts with melody. 
 
 The following sketch relative to the old New York state arsenal was pre- 
 pared by Andrew J. Fairbanks and read before the Jefferson County Histor- 
 ical Society in [887 : — 
 
 " Prior to the constructiou of the Watertown arsenal the nearest depot available was at 
 Utica. In 1808 Gov. Daniel D. Tompkins notified by letter Captain Noadiah Hubbard, of 
 ■Champion, that 500 stands of arms, 350 sets of accoutrements, and 7,500 rounds of ammuni- 
 tion, etc., had been for sometime stored at Utioa awaiting some place of deposit, which was 
 not, however, provided, and their destination was, by an act of March 27, 1809, changed to 
 Watertown. The selection and purchase of the site and the supervision of the building of the 
 Watertown arsenal were entrusted to Mr. Hart Massey, a prominent citizen of Jefferson 
 County, who, at that time, held the position of collector of customs for the district of Sackets 
 Barber. A site was selected on the south side of Columbia street (now Arsenal street), near 
 its intersection with Madison street (now Massey street), in the present 3d ward. This portion 
 ■of the town at that time was but recently cleared of the forest, and there were but few dwell- 
 ings in the vicinity. The west line of Madison street bordered on a dense forest, extending to 
 Hack Kiver Bay, with but few clearings or roads. During the year 1809 the arsenal was 
 erected and completed. The structure was of brick, with out stone trimmings ; size, 40x60 
 feet, two stories in height, with high attic. On the eastern slope of the roof was a platform, 
 on which was sunnounted two six-pounders, unlimbered, standing muzzle to muzzle. These 
 guns (quakers) were very real and artistic. Strong iron bars protected the lower windows, 
 and two tall masts supported lightning rods. In the rear was a one-story guard-house of 
 wood. The whole premises were enclosed by a strong stockade constructed of cedar posts set 
 into the ground, with two sides hewed, to make the joints somewhat perfect, and the tops out 
 off about 12 feet from the ground and sharpened. A gateway through the stockade on Co- 
 lumbia street led to the rear and guard-house. A sentry box stood just within the gateway. 
 The cost of the arsenel was ^1,940.99. On the completion of the arsenal the arms and ammu- 
 nition, etc., heretofore stored at Utica, were brought from there, and additional supplies 
 from Albany were added, together with a large quantity of cannon balls and shells from a 
 foundry at Taberg, Oneida County. From this time forward, and during the War of 1812-14, 
 the supply was continually added to and drawn from according to the necessity of the times. 
 
 " The general appearance and arrangement of the arsenal up to its sale and final abandon- 
 ment may be described as follows; The ground floor of one room was heavily plai^ked for the 
 storage of a complete battery of artillery and appendages. Along the eastern and southern 
 sides on the floor were piled pyramids of cannon balls and shells. The walls above these were 
 
726 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 filled with hundreds of knapsacks and canteens, the former made of canvas, painted lead 
 color; on the outer flap was painted in white letters the legend in monogram S. N. Y.; the can- 
 teens were of wood, cylindrical in form, composed of hoops and staves, with leather support 
 straps. On the western wall were suspended some 400 or 500 pairs of snow-shoes; these were 
 discarded, and left here by General Pike's brigade after the long and tedious march overland 
 through the northern wilderness to join Dearborn's army at Sacketa Harbor prior to the de- 
 scent on Little York (now Toronto) in winter of 1812-13. The ravages of time and mice soon 
 despoiled the snow-shoes of the netting and thong so that they became worthless, and so re- 
 mained untouched or undisturbed for 37 years, or until 1850. On the second floor were stored 
 the muskets on the four walls, and on racks extending from floor to ceiling on double hooks, 
 two by two, with bayonets fixed, were ranged many hundreds of muskets, all of one pattern 
 smooth-bore, flintlocks of calibre 16 to 18 to the pound. Prominent in the assortment were' 
 many old brass- mounted relics and trophies of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane; also a few old 
 continentals. On the rafters in the attic were hung many sets of cross-belts, cartridge boxes, 
 and bayonet scabbards; above these were a number of drums, the heads and strainers long 
 since departed by age and neglect. On the drums were painted the state coat of arms and 
 the number of regiment. 
 
 "By act of legislature, April 9, 1850, the old arsenals of the state were ordered to be sold, 
 the sites by private sale and the material by auction, except the artillery, which was sent to 
 headquarters at Albany. Accordingly sales by auction were advertised and took place soon 
 after. The arms were quickly sold, and were mostly carried off by farmers and boys; the belts, 
 etc. were sold in lump to a shoe dealer, who utilized the material in his line of business, 
 but disposed of the old brass breast-plates to a brass foundry. The site and building were 
 purchased by Messrs. O. and E. L. Paddock, who soon leased the premises for a tobacco fac- 
 tory, for which purpose it was used for several years. Later it was sold to C. A. BLolden, 
 who made use of it for storage. Finally the structure alone was disposed of to W. G. Williams, 
 who demolished it for tlie excellent material it contained, and which now forms a portion of a 
 fine brick cottage on Ten Eyck street, owned by C. W. Simons. To-day not a stick or stone 
 marks the old site. To those interested we would say that the lawn on the western side of 
 the premises of Mrs. C. A. Holden, No. 49 Arsenal street, marks the site, and the fine stable 
 in the rear occupies the site of the old guard-house." 
 
 The present state armory on Arsenal street was built in 1879, t>y George 
 W. Flower, contractor, and cost about $30,000. The county furnished the 
 site and appropriated $5,000 for that purpose. It is a imposing brick struct- 
 ure, amply sufficient for the requirements of the excellent National Guard 
 company which now occupies it. The size of the drill room is 155 by 77 
 feet. 
 
 The history of the National Guard in Watertown started with the 35th Reg- 
 iment Infantry, which was organized before the civil war, about 1850 or '55. 
 March 17, 1874, companies A, C, D, E, G, and K were mustered out, 
 leaving companies B, H, I, and F, which were designated as the 35th Bat- 
 talion. On April 21, 1875, Co. C was organized with the following 
 officers : James R. Miller, captain ; Lewis F. Phillips, first lieutenant ; and 
 Thome J. Corwin, second lieutenant. The battalion was at this time com- 
 posed of companies A, B, C, and D, the latter of which was located in 
 Theresa village. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles B. Fowler at this time com- 
 manded the battalion. He was succeeded by Lieutenant-Colonel Alfred J. 
 Cass, who was succeeded by Lieutenant-Colonel James R. Miller. In 
 June, i88r, companies A, B, and D were mustered out, Co. C being re- 
 tained as a separate company and designated as the 39th. After Colonel 
 Miller's promotion Charles A. Settle was elected captain of the company, and 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 727 
 
 continued in command until the battalion was mustered out in 1881, and 
 of the 39th Separate Company until his death in December, 1884. On the 
 24th of February, 1885, James R. Miller again took command and served 
 until March 28, 1888. The present officers are William R. Zimmerman, 
 captain, elected April 13, 1888 ; James S. Boyer, first lieutenant, elected at 
 the same time ; Charles R. Murray, second lieutenant, elected December 2, 
 1888; and Mason L. Smith, first lieutenant and assistant surgeon, appointed 
 October 23, 1883. The muster roll of the company contains the names of 
 four officers and 87 men, many of whom are representative and interprising 
 citizens. 
 
 During the War of 1812 bodies of troops were stationed at Watertown for 
 short periods, and the sick were often sent here for that attendance which 
 could not be procured at Sackets Harbor. The old brick academy building, 
 erected in 181 1, which stood just in the rear of the present residence of B. B. 
 Taggart, on the corner of Academy and Washington streets, was used as a 
 hospital for a considerable time. 
 
 Soon after this war there occurred in the village an event which excited 
 extraordinary interest throughout the country, and one which well-nigh 
 wrought the financial ruin of two of the most honorable and respected resi- 
 dents of the county. The affair referred to is that in which Samuel Whittlesey, 
 a prominent lawyer, who, in collusion with his wife, a most vicious and de- 
 signing woman, attempted to retain for his own use, by declaring it had been 
 stolen by others, a large sum of money which had come to him in his official 
 capacity as brigade paymaster of the militia, thereby making his sureties^ 
 Jasan Fairbanks and Perley Keyes, responsible for the amount. Not having 
 space here to give the details of this deplorable affair, we refer the reader to 
 the accounts published in previous histories of Jefferson County. 
 
 It is to be regretted that lack of space will not allow the publication of 
 many interesting incidents connected with the earliest settlements in Water- 
 town, especially those preserved to history by Solon Massey, than which 
 none others could be more authentic. 
 
 Before making our acquaintance with Watertown, after she had assumed 
 the dignity of an incorporated village, we will reproduce from Spafford's 
 Gazetteer of 1813 a description of the village as it then existed. In a news- 
 paper article published in 1887 Marcellus Massey said that "Watertown" 
 was the only name by which the village had ever been known. It will be 
 seen by the following that it also claimed, at this early day, the appellation of 
 "Jefferson Village":— 
 
 "Watertown, or Jefferson Village, is a flourishing poet-village of Watertown, Jefi'erson 
 County, on the south bank of Black Eiver, four miles from Brownville, and the same distance 
 from navigable water communicating with Lake Ontario. Here are the county buildings, 
 consisting of a handsome court-house and jail, and a State arsenal now building, within th& 
 village, beside a Mark Lodge, a paper-mill, two grist-mills, three saw-mills, one or two card- 
 ing machines and fulling-mills, and an air-furnace now building. The village contains about 
 50 dwelling houses, some quite elegant, handsomely finished, and painted, six 3tores,two brew

 cries, three tanners' works, a printing press which issues a weeldy paper, and a great variety of 
 mechanics. Nearly opposite the village the Black Biver falls about 20 to 24 feet perpendicularly, 
 and continues very rapid for three or four miles, and is thence smooth to the lake. Jefferson, 
 therefore, enjoys great advantages for water-machinery, is within four miles of boaiable 
 water to the lake, and but 10 from good navigation on the lake. A quarry of good building 
 limestone, and clay, and sand abound in the vicinity of the village. Pine and other timber 
 plenty. In short, it is a busy, thriving place, and the public improvements, the state of the 
 roads, bridges, etc., of this and the surrounding towns, together with the improved state of 
 the farms, and every field for enterprise and industry, do very great credit to the inhabitants." 
 
 VILLAGE INCORPORATION.* 
 
 The village of Watertown was incorporated April 5, 1816. The act pro- 
 vided for the election of five trustees, who were to possess the powers and 
 immunities usually vested in similar corporations. These extended to the 
 formation of a fire department, the construction of water works, regulation of 
 markets, streets, etc.; the building of hay scales, supervision of weights and 
 measures, and whatever related to the preservation of health, or the suppres- 
 sion of nuisances. Three assessors, a treasurer, collector, and five fire 
 wardens were to be elected. Fines not exceeding $25 might be imposed. 
 The annual election was to occur on the first Monday of May, and the trustees 
 were to choose one of their number for president. The president, with the 
 advice of the trustees, was to appoint a company, not exceeding 20, of fire- 
 men, and to enforce, in the name of the trustees, the ordinances and regula- 
 tions which they might establish. The village of Watertown was constituted 
 one district, and exempted from the jurisdiction of the town commissioners. 
 
 On April 7, 1820, an act was passed altering the bounds of the village, 
 and amending the charter; and on April 17, 1826, and April 26, i83r, the 
 charter was still further amended. March 22, 1832, the trustees were em- 
 powered by an act to borrosv a sum, not exceeding $2,000, to improve the 
 fire department of the village, and supply it with water to be used in fires, 
 and April 21, 1832, the doings at an election were confirmed. An act was 
 passed April 23, 1835, granting additional powers to the trustees, repealing 
 former provisions of the charter, and authorizing the erection of a market. 
 The village charter was amended by an act of April 16, 1852, by which its 
 bounds were increased, the district included being directed to be divided into 
 from five to seven wards. A president, three assessors, a clerk, treasurer, 
 collector, and two police constables were to be elected annually, and one 
 trustee to each ward, of which there were five. Elections were held on the 
 first Monday of March, and the powers and duties of the trustees were much 
 extended. 
 
 The first village election was held at the house of Isaac Lee, in May, 1816, 
 David Bucklin, Esq., presiding, and the following officers were chosen: Tim- 
 othy Burr, Egbert Ten Eyck, Olney Pearce, Marianus W. Gilbert, and Norris 
 M. Woodruff, trustees; Reuben Goodale, WilHam Smith, Orville Hungerford,

 assessors ; Micah Sterling, treasurer ; Seth Otis, collector ; Jabez Foster, 
 Samuel Watson, Jr., Rufus Backus, William Fletcher, Joseph Henry, fire 
 wardens. 
 
 During the existence of the village corporation the following served as pres- 
 idents: 1 8 16, Timothy Burr; 1817, Isaac Lee; i8i8, Orin Stone; 1819, 
 William Smith; 1820, Egbert Ten Eyck; 1821, Olney Pearce ; 1822, David

 ford; 1836, Jasan Fairbanks; 1837-38, Dyer Huntington; 1839, David D. 
 Otis; 1840, George C. Sherman ; 1841, William Wood; 1842-43, William 
 H. Robinson; 1844, Benjamin Cory; 1845, Dyer Huntington ; 1846, Orville 
 V. Brainard; 1847, Stephen Boon; 1848, Peier S. Howk ; 1849-50, David 
 -D. Otis; 1851, Joshua Moore, Jr.; 1852, Kilborn Hannahs; 1853-54, 
 Joseph MuUin ; 1855, Randolph Barnes ; 1856-58, Henry H. Babcock ; 1859, 
 Ambrose W. Clark; 1860-63, Henry H. Babcock; 1864-65, John M. Car- 
 ,penter; 1866, George A. Bagley; 1867, Wilbur F. Porter; 1868, Lysander 
 H. Brown; 1869, Edmund B. Wynn. 
 
 The trustees at their first meeting divided the village into five wards, to 
 -each of which a fire warden was to be assigned, and each was to be supplied 
 with four ladders. A series of regulations providing against fires and mak- 
 ing provision for the several objects named in the charter was also adopted. 
 A fire company was organized May 28, 1817, and at a meeting of freeholders 
 ■called for the purpose, June 10, the sum of $200 was voted for a fire en- 
 .gine. February 6, 1818, $500 was voted to assist in building a bridge near 
 Newel's brewery. May 4, 1818, a committee of three was appointed to con- 
 fer with the supervisors concering the purchase of a bell for the court-house. 
 •October 27, 1823, a plan for a cemetery, previously purchased of Hart Mas- 
 sey, was accepted, and on December 6, 1825, the lots, one rod square each, 
 were balloted for, each taxable resident being entitled to one share. To non- 
 residents lots might be sold, the proceeds to be applied to the building of a 
 ■tomb. Four lots were drawn, one for each of the clergy of the village. June 
 14, 1828, $150 was voted for the improvement of the Public Square. A hook 
 ■and ladder company was voted to be formed in May, 1826. 
 
 At a meeting held November 24, 183 1, the inhabitants advised the trus- 
 tees to purchase a new fire engine, and the sum of $50 was directed to be 
 ■drawn out of the village treasury, and presented to Messrs. Barrett and Par- 
 ker for their prompt and efficient exertions with their new engine at the late 
 fire in the village. A fire company, to be attached to the engine belonging 
 to the Jefferson Cotton Mills, was formed -August 6, 1832. Dyer Hunting- 
 ton was at the same time appointed chief engineer, and Adriel Ely assistant 
 engineer, of the fire department. 
 
 June 19, 1 S3 2, a special meeting of trustees was held to adopt measures to 
 prevent the spread of the Asiatic cholera, which at that time was spreading 
 terror throughout the country. One trustee, one fire warden, one physician,

 and three citizens were appointed in each ward to take efficient measures for 
 enforcing sanitary regulations. A special meeting of citizens convened at 
 Parsons's hotel on the next day, and after the reading of several papers from 
 Albany, Ogdensburg, and Prescott, a "committee of health," consisting of iz 
 persons, was appointed, and Drs. Crawe, Trowbridge, Wright, Green, Good- 
 ale, Sykes, Bagg, and Safford were named as a committee to consult with the 
 health committee. The state and national legislatures were petitioned for a 
 law preventing the landing of foreigners, and for powers similar to those giverv 
 to cities. The surrounding towns and villages were invited to cooperate 
 in the adoption of sanitary measures. Three days after the passage of the 
 act of June 22, for the preservation of the public health, the following per- 
 sons were appointed a board of health : Marianus W. Gilbert, Levi Beebee, 
 John Sigourney, Orville Hungerford, William Smith, Norris M. WoodruflF,. 
 and Peleg Burchard. Dr. I. B. Crawe was elected health officer. May 3^ 
 1833, WilHam Smith, Levi Beebee, P. Burchard, N. M. Woodruff, and Johri 
 Sigourney were appointed the board of health, with Dr. I. B. Crawe, health 
 officer. In compliance with the act of 1832, and in pursuance of the proc- 
 lamation of the governor, on June 19, 1849, the trustees of Watertown or- 
 ganized a board of health, to adopt sanitary regulations as preventives of the 
 Asiatic cholera, then ravaging some sections of the Union. 
 
 A census of Watertown taken in April, 1827, gave 1,098 males and 941 
 females — a gain of 500 in two years. There were 321 buildings, of which 
 224 were dwellings; three stone churches (Methodist, Universalist, and Pres- 
 byterian), court-house, jail, and clerk's office; arsenal, a cotton factory with- 
 1,300 spindles, another (Beebee's) then building ; one woolen factory, three 
 paper-mills, three large tanneries, three flouring-mills, one furnace, a nail 
 factory, two machine shops, two fulling-mills, three carding machines, two 
 distilleries, one ashery, two pail factories, one sash factory, two chair factories,, 
 one hat factory, four wagon shops, two paint shops, four cabinet and joiner 
 shops, eight blacksmith shops, four tailor shops, seven shoe shops, three sad- 
 dle and harness shops, eight taverns, 15 dry goods stores, two hardware 
 stores, two hat stores, two book stores, two leather stores, one paint store, 
 two druggists, two jewelers, two weekly papers, seven public schools, six phy- 
 sicians, and 10 lawyers. 
 
 In 1829 an association was formed for boring for water on Factory Square, 
 and a hole two and a half inches in diameter was drilled to the depth of 127- 
 feet, when water was obtained that rose to the surface, and having been 
 tubed discharged a copious volume of water slightly charged with sulphur 
 and iron. On Sewall's Island a similar well was bored, which at 80 feet dis- 
 charged water and inflammable gas ; but on being sunk further these were 
 both lost. 
 
 Among the early enterprises of Watertown was the Black River Cotton 
 and Woolen Manufacturing Company. This company was organized De- 
 cember 28, 1813, with a capital of $100,000, in 1,000 shares, the stockhold-

 ers being William Smith, Jabez Foster, Marianus W. Gilbert, John Paddock, 
 Egbert Ten Eyck, Amos Benedict, William Tanner, Jasan Fairbanks, and 
 Parley Keyes. The company purchased-the right of way for a road to Fac- 
 tory Village, and of Ezekiel Jewett, for $10,000, a tract of 400 acres, with the 
 adjacent water-power, and here, during the summer of 1814, they erected a 
 dam and a stone building for a cotton factory, and commenced spinning in 
 November. The cost of the factory was $72,000. It was erected and put 
 in operation under the supervision of WiUiam Smith, and continued three 
 years. It was afterwards hired and run three years longer, and was subse- 
 quently sold for $7,000. 
 
 The erection of the Jefferson cotton-mills, by Levi Beebee, in 1827, gave 
 a strong impulse to the growth of Watertown. Mr. Beebee effected the pur- 
 chase of the small properties which comprised most of Cowan's Island (since 
 called Beebee's Island), and from Mr. Le Ray 120 acres on the north bank 
 of the river opposite for the nominal price of $1,500. Early in the spring 
 he commenced the erection of a large and substantial stone building, which 
 was completed, and the water-wheels and shafting inserted under the super- 
 intendence of William Smith. The building was 250 by 65 feet, three 
 stories high, besides a high basement with a projection before and behind, 
 and connected with this were several offices and stores rooms, and in the 
 vicinity two large stone buildings for boarding-houses. Under the main 
 building two wheel pits, each 24 by 32 feet, and 24 feet deep, were blasted 
 in the rock, and a canal, 10 feet wide, 6 feet deep, and 250 feet long, was made, 
 which furnished water from the smaller or south branch of the river. It was 
 intended for ro,ooo spindles, of which 3,000 were got in operation. A legal 
 company was formed April 14, 1829, under the style of the "Jefferson Cot- 
 ton-Mills," having for its nominal trustees Levi Beebee, W. T. Beebee, L. S. 
 Beebee, E. Faunda, and Horace Hunt. To secure the exemptions from tax- 
 ation, which the statutes afforded in certain cases, Mr. Beebee obtained, 
 April 7, 1830, an act of incorporation, in which himself and sons Levi S. and 
 Washington T. were constituted a company, with a capital of $250,000, in 
 shares of $50, and under the management of three trustees. On Sunday, 
 July 7, 1833, the premises were discovered on fire, and such progress had 
 been made before discovered that no effort was attempted further than to 
 protect surrounding buildings. The fire was probably of incendiary origin. 
 The loss was estimated at $200,000; insurance, $25,000. 
 
 The Watertown Cotton-Mills Company, capital $roo,ooo, was formed in 
 1834, with Isaac H. Bronson, Jasan Fairbanks, Samuel F. Bates, John 
 Sigourney, and Joseph Kimball, trustees. This continued several years and 
 was replaced by the Watertown Cotton Company, capital $12,000, formed 
 in 1846, with E. T. Throop Martin, Daniel Lee, S. Newton Dexter, Hiram 
 Holcomb, and John Collins, trustees. Their plant contained 50 looms, and 
 occupied the buildings erected for a cotton factory in 18T4, at Factory "Vil- 
 lage. 
 
732 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 In 1835 the Hamilton Woolen-Mills, capital $50,000, was formed by Henry 
 D. Sewall, George Goulding, John C. Lasher, Simeon Boynton, and John 
 Gouldmg. March 10, of the same year, this was reorganized under the name 
 of Hamilton Manufacturing Company, capital $100,000. A factory was 
 built the same year and put in operation in 1836. In May^ 1842, it was 
 bought by the Black River Woolen Company, which was formed in 1836, 
 with a capital of $50,000, by Isaac H. Bronson, S. N. Dexter, O. Hunger- 
 ford, John WilHams, Hiram Holcomb, and Daniel Lee. These erected a 
 factory, which was burned in 1841, loss $36,000, insurance about $12,000. 
 
 The Watertown Woolen Company, capital $100,000, was formed in 1834, 
 with I. H. Bronson, John A. Rodgers, John Williams, S. Newton Dexter, and 
 Hiram Holcomb, trustees. The Watertown Woolen Manufacturing Com- 
 pany was formed in 1835, capital $25,000, the trustees being J. Williams, 
 I. H. Bronson, H. Holcomb, D. Lee, and Silas Clark. This soon ceased 
 to exist. In 1836 the WilHams Woolen Company was formed, capital 
 $10,000, by I. H. Bronson, S. N. Dexter, J. Williams, H. Holcomb, and 
 Charles Weber. The company was engaged for a short time in manufactur- 
 ing coarse goods, the premises subsequently being occupied by a tannery. 
 
 Other early manufacturing enterprises will be described in different portions 
 of this work. (See " Paper- Mills " in County Chapter, and " Present Manu- 
 factures " in connection with the sketch of Watertown city, a few pages sub- 
 sequent.) 
 
 SCHOOLS.* 
 
 In 1802, two years after Henry Coffeen built his hut upon, or near, the 
 «pot where the Watertown National Bank now stands, the first school was es- 
 tablished in a barn where is now the brick block next to the Times and Re- 
 /ormer huiWing on Arcade street. Henry Coffeen had been soon followed 
 by Zachariah Butterfield, Hart Massey, Asaph Mather, Thomas Butterfield, 
 and others, and this pioneer school, attended by the few children of the set- 
 tlement, had for its teacher Sally Coffeen, the daughter of the first settler. 
 She was succeeded by her sister, Heiress Coffeen, who obtained more com- 
 fortable quarters in a log house built directly in front of what is now known 
 as the Philo Johnson house, which is on the corner of Washington and Ster- 
 ling streets. This school was maintamed until 1804, when the first school 
 district of Jefferson County was organized, embracing the whole town of 
 Watertown. 
 
 Very soon thereafter there was erected a small frame building on the crest 
 of what was then quite a steep hill, and where now stands the Universalist 
 Church. This house was elevated about four feet from the ground on the 
 west side, " underpinned " at each corner, and in the middle by three pieces 
 
 * We are indebted to Mr. Fred Seymour, clerk of the board of education, and super- 
 intendent of schools, for this excellent sketch of the schools of Watertown.

 of logs set on end. The furniture of the school room was of the most prim- 
 itive kind. Pine boards on three sides, running the whole length, were the 
 best that could be done for the accommodation of the scholars, while the 
 central, and by far the most comfortable, part of the room was reserved for 
 the teacher. 
 
 The first court of Jefferson County was held in this building in 1807, at 
 which were present Smith Thompson, as presiding justice, Augustus Sacket, 
 Joshua Bealls, and Perley Keyes, judges, and Lyman Ellis, assistant justice. 
 The statement, as per the court records, that this court was held in a school- 
 house "next south of Cowan's mill," does not conflict with the foregoing ac- 
 count, as it probably means that the school-house was situated next south of 
 Cowan's xaC\ property, which was true ; in fact the early maps show no build- 
 ing lying directly between the mill and school-house. It is said that after 
 the formal adjournment of the first court a muck tribunal was organized, and 
 the scene of fun and frolic that ensued has seldom been equalled. 
 
 The first teacher employed in the new school-house was a Mr. McGregor, 
 a Scotchman, of whom little is remembered, as he remained but a short time. 
 After him a missionary, by the the name of Leavenworth, attended to both 
 the spiritual and secular education of the community, but after a couple of 
 years, finding that his increasing clerical duties demanded the greater part of 
 his time, he was obliged to resign the ferule to Roswell Babbitt, an uncle of 
 the former sheriff of this county. Mr. Babbitt was soon succeeded by a Mr. 
 Laidlow, and he in turn by Jeremiah Bishop, who was commonly known as 
 "long-legged Bishop." The latter's expenses seem to have far exceeded his 
 small income, and he soon found himself plunged in hopeless debt. Although 
 his creditors did not entirely distrust his honesty, it was thought advisable to 
 place him upon the jail limits. His plan of ridding the Common — what is 
 now Public Square — of thistles, by sprinkling them with salt so as to make 
 them more palatable to the cows and sheep, gives some idea of his eccen- 
 tricity. 
 
 After Mr. Bishop resigned a Mr. Cowan was employed for a short time, 
 who was succeeded by Joel Everett, to whom tradition ascribes great effi- 
 ciency and rigid discipline. Mr. Everett remained until r8r6, when he left 
 to take charge of a school at Sackets Harbor, under the patronage of the 
 army officers stationed at that post. Soon after this the old school-house 
 fell into disuse, and was removed to the corner of Arsenal and Arcade streets, 
 where it was burned in the fire of T849. 
 
 The founding and growth of woolen and other industries had tended to in- 
 crease the population to such an extent that, at the time of the incorporation 
 as a village in 18 16, a division into two school districts, with Washingtoa 
 street for the: dividing line, was found necessary. The following year the lots- 
 now occupied by the Arsenal street school and the Methodist parsonage 
 were bought pf Hart Massey for $214, and a plain one-story brick building, 
 
734 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 was erected thereon at a cost of $696. This, for a number of years, was the 
 only school in the western district of the village. 
 
 To get a better idea of what was done in the eastern district it will be nec- 
 essary to go back to 18 10. At this time the first effort was made to estab- 
 lish a public seminary in Jefferson County. A subscription paper was drawn 
 up, $2,500 subscribed, a lot bought of Judge Keyes for the site of an acad- 
 emy, and the following year a plain two-story brick building, about 32x40, 
 was erected for academical purposes. This building did not stand, as some 
 suppose, on the present site of the First Presbyterian Church, but rather di- 
 rectly in the rear of the present residence of B. B. Taggart, on the corner of 
 Washington and Academy streets. Soon after the completion of this build- 
 ing came the war with Great Britain, and it was turned over to the United 
 States forces and occupied by them as a hospital until 1814, the siim of $400 
 being allowed Mr. Keyes for its use. 
 
 Soon after the close of the war the Rev. Mr. Banks opened a select school 
 in the lower story, which was maintained for several years, while a little later 
 an effort was made to establish a " Lancasterian " school, something on the 
 plan of the present " Kindergarten" system, in one portion of the building, 
 but it was soon abandoned. 
 
 In 18 17,' when the new building heretofore mentioned had been erected in 
 the western district, the building on Academy street was taken by the east- 
 ern district for its school, and the Hon. Avery Skinner, then but a youth of 
 20 years, was employed as the teacher. He taught from 1817 to 1823, and 
 was no less distinguished as an efficient teacher than he was in later years as 
 an upright and worthy legislator. 
 
 A large debt having accrued on this school property, it was appraised at 
 $1,000, and sold on foreclosure of mortgage to the trustees of the First Pres- 
 byterian Church in 1820, although the building was used for school purposes 
 until 1823. Soon afterwards it was taken down, and the material used in 
 building what was then known as the Watertown Female Academy, on Clinton 
 street, and at present the residence of Elias Hagar. This academy was 
 maintained until 1837; it had a high reputation, and did much toward en- 
 couraging similar enterprises throughout the county. 
 
 The sale of the academy building to the Presbyterian Church in 1820 
 rendered necessary the erection of a new school-house for the eastern dis- 
 trict. B'Jt as there was considerable difference of opinion as to the proper 
 location it was decided to divide the district. State street being the dividing 
 line. That portion lying north of said street purchased a wooden building 
 on Factory street, and fitted it up for school purposes, but in a few years this 
 was replaced by a brick building in front of what is known as the Acker car- 
 riage shop, on the corner of Factory and Mechanic streets. In 1823 the por- 
 tion of the district lying south of State street purchased the lot now occu- 
 pied by Grace Church, on the corner of Jay and Sterling streets, and erected 
 a, stone school-house thereon. 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 735 
 
 This must have been the state of affairs in 1840, when the first Village 
 Directory speaks of three school districts : the school on the corner of Ar- 
 senal street and " Madison Square," J. W. Weeks, principal, with 95 pupils; 
 that on Factory street, C. H. Wright, principal, with 140 pupils ; and that on 
 Sterling street, Samuel Myrick, principal, with 50 pupils. These districts 
 were under control of trustees the same as any country district is managed. 
 
 The progress of the schools from 1840 to 1864 did not satisfy those par- 
 ticularly interested in their welfare. Their supervision by the town superin- 
 tendents, and afterwards by the county school commissioner, was necessarily 
 imperfect. There being no uniformity of text books, people moving from one 
 district to another were subjected to continual and useless expense. Private 
 schools had become quite numerous, and did much to hinder the growth and 
 lower the standard of the public schools. 
 
 The Arsenal street school building, by occasional repairing and enlarge- 
 ment, continued to accommodate all the children from that district which is 
 now known as the 3d and 4th wards, until 1856, when it was replaced by 
 another building, to which an addition was built in 1871 at a cost of 
 $2,584.23, which again in 1883 was entirely remodeled and a new addition 
 built thereto, at a total cost of $10,976.76. 
 
 The Factory street school building continued to accommodate the children 
 from that portion of the village lying between State street and the river until 
 1852, when it was sold, and the original Lamon street building was erected 
 to supply its place. The latter was thoroughly repaired in 1872, and a new 
 addition built thereto, at a cost of over $6,000. 
 
 The children from the district south of State street, now known as the 2d 
 Ward, were accommodated in the little stone building on Sterling street until 
 1 846, when this was replaced by another building which was used for school pur- 
 poses until 1868, when it was sold to Grace Church for $2,000, and the stone 
 academy on Academy street bought to supply its place. For a correct 
 knowledge of this Academy street building one must go back a number of 
 years. 
 
 As has been stated there was a successful female seminary from 1828 to 
 1837, but up to 1832 no institution had been founded for the education of 
 young men higher than that to be obtained in the ordinary district school. 
 In that year the " Watertown Academy " was incorporated, with Micah Ster- 
 ling, Henry D. Sewall, Thomas Baker, Reuben Goodale, Orville Hungerford, 
 Alpheus S. Greene, Egbert Ten Eyck, Justin Butterfield, William Smith, 
 Jasan Fairbanks, Joseph Goodale, Loveland Paddock, Joseph Kimball, 
 George S. Boardman, and John Safford as trustees. A two-story stone build- 
 ing, with basement, was erected on Academy street, and first opened for the 
 reception of students September 19, 1832. 
 
 La Rue P. Thompson was the first principal, who was succeeded by Sam- 
 uel Balding, and he by Joseph MuUin. From 1832 to 1838 the school seems 
 to have enjoyed a fair degree of prosperity, although never received under

 the visitation of the Regents. After the incorporation of the " Black River 
 Literary and Religious Institute," which will be described later, the useful- 
 ness of this school was impaired, or at least transferred to the stronger insti- 
 stution, and in 1841 the property was formally deeded to its trustees. By- 
 theni, in 1842, it was deeded to Micah Sterling. Finally, after various pe- 
 riods when it was occupied for school and other purposes, and longer periods- 
 when it was entirely abandoned, it came into the possession of the First Wes- 
 leyan Methodist Church, and was deeded by its trustees to the village of Wa- 
 tertown, July 11, 1866, consideration $2,000, although the old Sterling street 
 property was not sold to Grace Church, and the school was not transferred' 
 to Academy street until i868. This building, although rather dilapidated, 
 and in some respects unfit for school purposes, was all the 2d Ward had until 
 1886, when the present elegant and commodious building was erected, 
 directly in the rear of the old structure, at a cost of over $20,000, and the 
 following school year, when the new building was ready for occupancy, the 
 old landmark was taken down. 
 
 On March 21, 1836, a meeting of committees appointed by the Water- 
 town Presbytery and the Black River Association was held in the Second' 
 Presbyterian Church, on Factory street, to consider the subject of " estab- 
 lishing a literary and religious institution for the young," which, while it 
 should avoid a sectarian discipline, would be surrounded by a salutary re- 
 ligious and moral influence. Application was made which procured the 
 passage of an act (May 25, 1836) for the incorporation of the "Black River 
 Literary and Religious Institute.'' Its first trustees were Marcus Smith,, 
 James H. Monroe, Eli Farwell, Jason Clark, George S. Boardman, Hart 
 Massey, Roswell Kinney, Crafts P. Kimball, Elisha Camp, Lewis A. Wickes,. 
 Henry Jones, George W. Knowlton, E. H. Snowdon, John Covert, E. M. 
 Adams, Elisha P. Cook, David Spear, Charles B. Pond, Artemus Crittenden,. 
 John A. Cathcart, David Granger, Abel L. Crandall, Roswell Pettibone, and 
 William Chittenden. 
 
 These trustees, authorized to establish a seminary of learning in Water- 
 town, whose annual income should not exceed $4,000, and who were to elect 
 the faculty and supply vacancies in their board, met on the 4th of June. A. 
 constitution was then adopted that provides, among other rules, that the 
 board of trustees shall consist of six clergymen and six laymen of each de- 
 nomination in charge of the institution, and in supplying vacancies a person 
 of the same class or sect should be elected. 
 
 The following persons were elected as the first faculty: Rev. James R. 
 Boyd, principal ; Rev. John Covert, vice-principal ; Mrs. Covert, preceptress. 
 The lot on the corner of State and Mechanic streets was purchased for 
 $4,500, a wooden building was fitted up for tenaporary use, and in the spring 
 of T837 was commenced the erection of a building, of stone and brick, 40 by 
 75, two stories high, with basement, at a cost of $6,500. The corner-stone 
 of this edifice was laid with religious ceremonies, and in presence of a large

 audience, June 5, 1838, Governor Marcy being present. The inauguration 
 of the faculty occurred on the 13th of September, 1836 ; the institution was 
 received under the visitation of the Regents, January 30, 1838, and it has 
 since shared in the distribution of the " Literature Fund.'' 
 
 At a meeting of the trustees February 23, 1846, it was voted to make an 
 application for a change of name, which was granted by the legislature on 
 the 12th of May following, and the name was changed to the "Jefferson 
 County Institute.'' In January, 1847, a portion of the real estate was sold 
 to liquidate the debts of the institution. This is the part now occupied by 
 the State Street Methodist Church. 
 
 In June, 1848, Mr. Boyd, who had filled the office of principal since the 
 'oeginning. resigned, and D. M. Linsley was appointed. He taught until 
 May, 1852, when he resigned and was succeeded by Rev. Alvin Parmelee, 
 who taught until June, 1856. Mr. Parmelee was succeeded by Rev. J. Ses- 
 sions, who was principal until July, 1859, to be succeeded in turn by M. P. 
 Covert, who served until 1861. Rev. George Kerr was principal from 186 r 
 until 1865. The' school during all this period, from 1836 to 1865, had en- 
 joyed considerable prosperity, and may be said to have been, in an educa- 
 tional sense, a successful institution. 
 
 In April, 1865, the special act relating to the public schools of Watertown 
 was passed, and in this act the trustees of the Jefferson County Institute were 
 authorized to lease, or transfer by deed, their property to the village for a 
 High school. It was also provided that, while they did so lease their property, 
 they would be entitled to be represented by two members on the board of 
 education. 
 
 In June, 1865, a lease for three years of all the property hitherto belong- 
 ing to the trustees of the Jefferson County Institute, including apparatus, 
 library, and all appurtenances, to the village of Watertown, was executed, and 
 Milton H. Merwin and John C. Sterling were appointed to represent said 
 trustees on the, board. , 
 
 The " Watertown High School " was opened in September, 1865, as part 
 of the graded system of the public schools of the village, with William Reed, 
 jr., as temporary principal, and Miss A. M. Allen, preceptress. Mr. Reed 
 was succeeded in the spring of 1866 by N. M. Merrill. In March, 1868, 
 Miss Cornelia M. Johnson was appointed as assistant to Miss Allen, whom 
 she succeeded as preceptress at the end of that school year. Edward P. 
 Nichols succeeded Mr. Merrill as principal in the fall of 1868, and remained 
 only until the following year, when he resigned to accept a more lucrative 
 position, and G. B. Manley took his place. Watertown had now become 
 a city, and the schools of North Watertown were brought into the system, as 
 will be spoken of later. The old lease having expired a new one was exe- 
 cuted for 10 years to the city of Watertown. Mr. Manley resigned in Janu- 
 ^fy) 1870, and Hannibal Smith was employed in his place, and taught 
 47* 
 
7,38 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 until the close of the school year 1873-74, when he resigned and was suc- 
 ceeded by W. K. Wickes. 
 
 In 1878, the 10 years' lease having expired, the board of education de- 
 cided that it would be unwise to renew the lease unless the property should 
 be improved, and the board was unwilling to make these necessary improve- 
 ments and changes unless the lease should be executed for a long enough 
 term to warrant the expense. The trustees of the Jefferson County Institute 
 consented to the proposition, and a lease was drawn for 20 years. The old 
 building was entirely overhauled, repaired, and refitted at an expense of $5,- 
 034.09, and a new addition built on the north side at a cost of $4,200. 
 
 Mr. Wickes resigned at the close of the school year 1887-88, after 14 
 years of very efficient service. He was succeeded by H. M. Hill, who had 
 been teacher of the sciences and higher mathematics since 1881. Much to 
 the regret of all concerned Mr. Hill resigned after one year's service as prin- 
 cipal. He was succeeded by F. D. Shaver, the present incumbent. Miss 
 C M. Johnson is still the preceptress, having served in that position for 22 
 years. The Watertown High School has been a remarkably prosperous and 
 successful institution. It has had 408 graduates, and has taken a very high 
 rank among the institutions under the jurisdiction of the board of Regents. 
 
 There are at this writing (March, 1890) nine public schools in Watertown. 
 The High School, Academy street, Arsenal street, and Lamon street schools 
 have already been mentioned. The old Mullin street school was built in 
 1867 at a cost of about $6,000, but as the ventilation was very bad, and the 
 building in other respects so unfit for school purposes that people in the 3d 
 Ward would not send their children there, the board decided to replace it 
 with a suitable building. Accordingly early in 1889 additional land was 
 bought, and a new and elegant building was erected directly in the rear of the 
 old building, which will be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the school 
 year 1890-91, and which, when completed, will have cost about $20,000. 
 The old building will be taken down at the end of the present school year. 
 
 In 1870 the board purchased a lot on Coffeen street for $700, with a view 
 to erecting thereon a school-house for the better accommodation of pupils 
 living west of the R., W. & O. Railroad tracks. But it was found that this 
 location would be too far from the little old wooden school-house on Boon 
 street, which, although entirely inadequate, has been used since 1865, and 
 the lot was exchanged in 1873 for one on Boon street, a few rods north of 
 the old building, and on the other side of the street. During the following 
 winter a contract was let for building a new school-house on this lot for the 
 sum of $9,590, but owing to unexpected difficulties arising in the attempt to 
 find a secure foundation for the building the original plan was materially 
 altered, and additional expense incurred. The consequence was that the lot, 
 building, fences, outbuildings, furniture, walks, and grading cost not far from 
 $15,500. Up to 1886, when the new Academy street school-house was 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 739 
 
 erected, the Boon street building was the best in the city, and even now it is 
 not excelled in some respects. 
 
 When in 1869 Watertown became a city the three schools formerly in 
 North Watertown and Juhelville became part of the city system of public 
 •schools. The little stone building on Bradley street, erected in 1824, has 
 been repaired and still serves as a primary school, although, judging from 
 the growth of that part of the city, a larger school building will be demanded 
 for that section before a great while. In 1887 a new addition to Cooper 
 street school was built at a cost of $9,509.49, it being in reality half of a pro- 
 posed building, capable of receiving scholars from the two smaller schools, 
 Eradley street and Pearl street, and thus providing for all the children on the 
 •north side of the river until they shall be ready to enter the High School. 
 The stone school-house on Factory street, erected in- 1823, although totally 
 ■unfit for school purposes, was used as a primary school until 1888-89, when 
 a new building was erected on the corner of Pearl and Vincent streets, at a 
 cost of $6,368.37, the old school abandoned, and the property sold. 
 
 The board of education was first organized in June, 1865. Following is 
 the list of those who have served as presidents of the board: — 
 
 Theodore Babcook 1865 to 1868 
 
 Allen C. Beach 1868-69 
 
 Theodore Babcook 1869-70 
 
 Beman Brockivay 1870 to 1876 
 
 William W. Taggart 1876 to 1878 
 
 John Lansing 1878 to 1881 
 
 William W. Taggart 1881-82 
 
 Edmund Q. Sewall 1882 to 1884 
 
 Hannibal Smith 1884 to 1886 
 
 John Lansing 1886 to 1888 
 
 Azariah H. Sawyer 1888 to 
 
 J. Felt, Jr., was the first clerk of the board, acting also as superintendent 
 of the schools. He served but one year, 1865-66, when he was succeeded 
 by H. H. Smith, who served for three years. In 1869 W. G. Williams was 
 ■elected clerk. He resigned in February, 1870, and Hannibal Smith, at that 
 time principal of the High School, acted as temporary clerk until March, 
 when Mr. Smith was appointed superintendent of the schools, and Edwin 
 Baylies, assistant superintendent and clerk. This arrangement continued 
 until December, 1870, when Mr. Baylies resigned, to be succeeded by Dan- 
 iel G. Griffin. Messrs. Smith and Griffin served until 1872, when the two 
 offices were again united, and Mr. Griffin became full superintendent and 
 •clerk, serving until 1875, when he resigned, to be succeeded by A. R. Beal. 
 In 1877 the two offices were again divided, with William K. Wickes, then 
 principal of the High School, as superintendent, and Fred Seymour, assistant 
 superintendent and clerk. In 1879 Mr. Seymour was appointed full super- 
 intendent and clerk, which position he has held up to the present writing. 
 
 The writer, in closing this sketch of the schools of Watertown, wishes to 
 ■acknowledge valuable aid from the records of the Jefferson County Institute, 
 kindly furnished by T. H. Camp, and from the excellent report of the former 
 superintendent, D. G. Griffin, for the year 1872-73. He is also indebted to 
 Messrs. John C. Sterling, Beman Brockway, and Lotus Ingalls, all of whom 
 have served on the board of education.

 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 EARLY FIRES. 
 
 Watertown has been repeatedly devastated by fires, some of which pro- 
 duced a decided check to its prosperity, while others acted beneficially, by 
 removing rubbish that would otherwise have disfigured the village for time 
 indefinite, and from which the place recovered with an elastic energy charac- 
 teristic of a progressive age and people. On February 7, 1833, a fire oc- 
 curred which burned the extensive tannery and oil-mill of J. Fairbanks, the 
 paper-mill and printing office of Knowlton & Rice, and a morocco factory 
 and dwelling of Kitts & Carpenter ; loss $30,000. The destruction of 
 Beebee's factory, July 7, 1833, and the Black River woolen-mills, December 
 22, 1841, have been mentioned elsewhere. March 21, 1848, at 3 o'clock in 
 the morning, a fire occurred in an old stone shop, in the rear of the Union 
 mills, and a little above, which spread rapidly to the buildings on the island 
 opposite, and to others above, which, with the bridge, were rapidly consumed; 
 and two men, Leonard Wright and Levi Palmer, perished in the flames, hav- 
 ing entered a woolen-mill for the purpose of rescuing property. Among the 
 buildings burned were the piper-mill of Knowlton & Rice, the satinet fac- 
 tory of Mr. Patridge, occupied by W. Conkey, a row of mechanic shops oi> 
 the island, etc. This fire threw many mechanics out of employment, and 
 was seriously felt by the public. Contributions for the sufferers were raised 
 in the village, and nearly $1,100 were distributed among them. 
 
 On Sunday, May 13, 1849,* occurred the "great fire " in Watertown. The 
 driver of the late stage from Utica, who had left two of his passengers on 
 Clinton street, was the first to discover the fire about 2 a. m., on his return to 
 the stage barn on Arsenal street. By this fire the fairest portion of the 
 business part of the town was consumed. The fire broke out in a storage in 
 the rear of where the First National Bank now stands. When the writer, on 
 proceeding to the fire soon after the alarm had sounded, had reached the 
 point where the Stone street church now stands he witnessed an explosion that 
 sent the burning tim.bers, fire brands, and cinders into the air, and covered 
 the shingle roofs of the American Hotel and Paddock buildings with sparks 
 and coals. Almost in an instant the wood work of the buildings was in a fierce 
 blaze. The rooms of the hotel were fully occupied by boarders, and the 
 situation was perilous in the extreme. It was an hour when all had retired 
 and were in slumber. The landlord, a Mr. Mallery, was aroused from his 
 sleep, and with his clerk, George Higbee, gave the alarm to the boarders by 
 passing through the halls, staving in the doors of the rooms and awakening 
 the sleepers. All were saved, but none too quickly, as the flames were 
 
 * This account of the most disastrous fire that ever occurred in Watertown, and also 
 that of December, 1851, which destroyed Perkins's Hotel and other property, were written 
 by John L. Hotchkin, and published in 1885, in a pamphlet containing a history of the 
 fire department, etc. 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 741 
 
 coming in through the rear windows, and the inmates had to escape in their 
 night dresses in many instances, some of them having to fight fire in the pas- 
 sage and stairways to save themselves, and it was supposed for some days 
 that one or more persons had been lost in the hotel. 
 
 The fire crossing Court street like a flash, the Wooster Sherman Bank was 
 soon in flames, and a brisk wind starting up drove the flames down the street, 
 firing the Safi"ord, Hayes, and Peck blocks in an instant. The fire, in the 
 meantime, had commenced on the Fairbanks stone block on the west side 
 of Court and was coming down on that side of the street. The flames 
 crossed the narrow street, causing a complete arch of fire and smoke, grand 
 to look at, but "fearful to contemplate." Norris M. Woodruff was at this 
 time chief of the fire department, and upon, duty that night, mounted upon 
 his horse, he seemed " everywhere at once," giving imperative orders to 
 every one to go to work, "man the brakes," save property, and he asked no 
 one to go where he would not lead. When Court street was a lane of fire, and 
 the goods of the merchants were piled in the street only to burn where they 
 lay, the chief galloped his horse through the street and over the obstructions, 
 with fire and smoke to the right and left of him and flames overhead. 
 
 The new Woodruff block, similar to the present Iron block, and standing 
 upon the same spot, had only been erected in the summer of 1848, and, of a 
 more modern style of architecture, was the finest building in the town. Cov- 
 ered with a tin roof it was the opinion of many, and hope of all, that the 
 new building would resist the flames, but one fatal defect was in the wooden 
 cornice. The fire from the Sherman Bank roof licked around the corner 
 tower of the fine cornice and set it in a blaze, working under the roof, and 
 soon for want of sufificient water the fire was not only rapidly consuming that 
 fine building, but extending down the Public Square. An expression of 
 dismay went through the great crowd when the new block ignited, but the 
 owner, the chief, seemed to be more energetic than ever, and never did men 
 and women work to save property harder than on that eventful night. 
 
 Fanned by the wind the fire spread in different directions, burning every 
 structure on Court street to the old county clerk's office, yet standing and now 
 used as a grocery. That building was arched with stone with a wooden roof, 
 which was thrown off by some of the residents of the neighborhood, leaving 
 no " food for fire," and by the veering of the wind towards the river the con- 
 flagration was stayed, — at the corner of Jackson street, — burning, however, 
 both sides of the streets to that point. The Trinity Church that stood upon 
 the site of the present one was burned. The town clock, located in the tower, 
 struck the hour of four while the spire was enveloped in flames, and within 
 30 minutes thereafter the steeple fell. The fire also worked up Arsenal 
 street, burning both sides to the point where the Watertown Post printing 
 office now stands, consuming another hotel, the Columbia House, standing 
 upon the site of the present Globe. The intermediate space between Arsenal 
 and Court streets was burned over, not a structure escaping. The buildings 
 
742 CITY OF WATERTOWN 
 
 but one west of Anthony street, and where the Woodruff House stands, were 
 burned. Towards the south the flames did not make such headway, being 
 against the wind. A building had been torn away a few days before on the 
 spot where stands Messrs. Sterling & Mosher's store. The course of the fire 
 was arrested at that point, but the territory now covered by the arcade. Ar- 
 cade street, American barns, Delong's livery barns, and reaching to the resi- 
 dence of Mr. Woodruff was burned over. The only business blocks that 
 stood in the village after the fire were the block comprising the building 
 owned by O. Hungerford, John Clarke, Watertown Bank^ and Lansing & 
 Sherman, and, on the opposite side of Washington street and Public Square,. 
 Perkins's Hotel block and Franklin building, with the building on the north 
 side of the Square, now occupied by Van Namee Brothers, and the furniture- 
 stores, Streeter's block, and White's block. Four banks, nearly every dry 
 goods store, and all the printing offices but one were burned. 
 
 The " water supply ' of the village consisted of a cistern sunk upon the 
 spot where stands the drinking fountain at the head of the park, which was 
 supphed by a lead pipe from a living spring at the corner of Washington and 
 Sterling streets, but the suction pipes of the engines soon drained the "reser- 
 voir " dry, the private wells and cisterns near the burning district gave out^ 
 and upon Court street houses would take fire and burn down with scarcely 
 a pailful of water to apply during the fire ; and before daylight people in the 
 Square, in "looking aloft," saw what appeared to be sparks of fire flying 
 southward and against the wind ; they proved to be great flocks of wild pig- 
 eons attracted by the fire, their breasts reflecting the light as they passed 
 over. For several days afterward the adjacent " woods were full of them.'' 
 The ground upon the Square was covered with all descriptions of goods and 
 merchandise piled in promiscuous heaps. Soon after daylight a rain set in, 
 and the owners, to prevent damage by another element, had to cover their 
 goods with oil-cloths, etc., and also to station a guard of constables to pro- 
 tect their property from thieves. 
 
 No services were held in any of the churches upon that Sabbath. The 
 fire raged until nearly noon ; the clergy were all at vi^ork saving property. All 
 classes, both men and women, used their efforts to save their neighbors' 
 property, and the event was one long to be remembered in the annals of 
 Watertown. 
 
 The fire department of the village in 1848 and on duty at the fire con- 
 sisted of Norris M. Woodruff, chief engineer; Benjamin F. Hotchkin," first 
 assistant ; E. C. Lewis, second assistant. Neptune Engine Company No. i, 
 William A. Loomis, foreman; Rough and Ready Company No. 2, Nathaniel 
 Farnham, foreman ; Jefferson Company No. 3, Wifliam Y. Buck, foreman ; 
 Hook and Ladder Company No. i, Samuel Fairbanks, foreman. The engines 
 were of the side-break pattern, and required much strength of muscle to work 
 them. But they were " worked with a will," and only stopped when all avail- 
 able supply of water was exhausted.

 On September 24, 1850, a fire occurred on Sterling street, from which the 
 burning shingles were wafted to the steeple of the UniversaHst Church, and 
 when first noticed had kindled a flame not larger than that of a candle ; but 
 before the place could be reached it had enveloped the spire in flames, be- 
 yond hope of arresting it, and the building was consumed. With the utmost 
 exertions of the firemen and citizens of the village the fire was prevented 
 from extending further. 
 
 In December, 185 1, occurred a great conflagration destroying the build- 
 ings then upon the site of the present Washington Hall block, comprising 
 Perkins's Hotel, a large three-story frame building, with the book store and 
 bindery of the old stationery firm of Knowlton & Rice, and stores of other 
 dealers. The fire was first discovered at 12 o'clock, noon, just at the hour 
 that people were leaving their work, consequently the members of the fire 
 department were out in full force to combat with the fire, that looked at one 
 time as if it would seize the barns and shops in the rear and sweep Franklin 
 street in its course. The proprietor of the hotel was Charles Perkins, an 
 elderly man lying upon a sick bed. He was taken from the burning building 
 upon a mattress to a place of safety, but he did not long survive this exposure, 
 dying soon after. 
 
 The department then consisted of Hook and Ladder Co. No. i, Samuel 
 Fairbanks, foreman ; Neptune Engine Co. No. i, William A. Loomis, fore- 
 man; Rough and Ready Engine Co. No. 2, Nathaniel Farnham, foreman ; 
 Jefferson Engine and Hose Co. No. 3, Thomas Dory, foreman. The engines 
 were of the old brake pattern, and did excellent service on that occasion. 
 The water supply was from the cistern at the head of the present park in 
 Public Square. 
 
 The day was extremely cold, and it was with difficulty that the machines 
 were kept from freezing. The buildings were of wood with shingle roofs, old 
 and very inflammable, and it required hard and unremitting work to keep the 
 fire within the boundaries of the present Washington Hall building. But it 
 was mastered after several hours' work. The difficult feat of the day, how- 
 ever, and one that has hardly been excelled since, was the " cutting out " of 
 the fire at the east end of the hotel, where the Franklin building, owned by 
 J. B. & B. F. Hotchkin, and yet standing, and now owned by Gates & Spratt, 
 in which there were no brick partition walls, and stored with combustible 
 goods,. was saved by the efforts mainly of Nathaniel Farnham, foreman of 
 No. 2, and Austin Skinner, a veteran fireman of No. i. The two men, clinging 
 to the slippery shingles, cut, with axes, holes in the steep roof for the nozzels; 
 then holding the pipes from the engines extinguished the fire effectually at 
 that point. The loss was estimated at about $25,000. 
 
 October 16, 1852, a fire occurred on the west side of Washington street, 
 which consumed all the buildings south of Paddock's block, viz.: Hunger- 
 ford's block. Citizens' Bank, and Sherman's block; loss about $14,000. Me- 
 chanics Row, below the Union mills, was burned November 5, 1852, loss 
 
744 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 about $20,000. Hudson Haddock, aged 19 years, perished in the flames 
 while endeavoring to rescue property. July 23, 1853, the car factory and ma- 
 chine shop of Horace W. Woodruff, on the north bank of the river, opposite 
 Beebee's Island, was destroyed by fire, with its contents. On the night of 
 December 11, 1853, a fire consumed the building erected for a tanner)', but 
 used as a sash and butter-tub factory, on the south side of Beebee's Island, 
 adjoining the bridge, and owned by Messrs. Farnhara & Button. 
 
 The destruction by fire of the Black River Vi'oolen-mills, in which confla- 
 gration several lost their lives, and many others were severely injured by 
 jumping from the burning building, was one of the saddest calamities ever 
 experienced by this community. The following is condensed from an ac- 
 count published at the time in the New York Reformer : About half past 
 5 o'clock Friday afternoon. May 6, 1859, the bells of Factory Square 
 sounded the dreaded alarm, and in 30 minutes the well-known woolen fac- 
 tory in the east end of the village was a mass of ruins. At the factory the 
 most heart-rending scenes were being enacted. The fire originated in the 
 " picking room," and an ineffectual effort was made to extinguish it with 
 buckets of water. This was soon desisted from, and Mr. King at once gave 
 the order to start the flooding pump. This was done, and the wheel and 
 pump worked well — but all was ineffectual. Mr. King then started to alarm 
 the operatives, of whom there were 130, scattered through the five stories, the 
 only means of egress from all above the second being down a winding stair. 
 Many of the operatives heard the alarm and rushed down the stairway, and 
 the ladders outside the building, in comparative safety. Over a dozen, 
 owing to the great confusion and want of time, were not so fortunate, and 
 found themselves completely shut off from egress. Some of these were very 
 badly burned in getting down the ladder after the fire had become a mass of 
 flame in all but the fourth story; but the greater number of them threw them- 
 selves from the windows to the hard and stony ground below. We append 
 their names and the injuries received by each: Miss Angeline Stone, aged 
 about 21, jumped from the fourth story, was picked up insensible, and died in 
 about half an hour. John Shepherd was an object of excruciating suffering. 
 He was deeply burned on the face, arms, breast, and neck, and died on Sun- 
 day afternoon about 3 o'clock. Mrs. Vincent White jumped from the fourth 
 story and sustained serious injuries to her spine. Miss Maria Greenwood, 
 aged about 18, jumped from the fourth story and was badly injured. Miss 
 Ceha Blodgett jumped from the fourth story, and her escape from any other 
 injury than the mere shock was really wonderful. She arose from the spot 
 without help, and walked one-fourth of a mile to her home. James M. 
 Griffin escaped from the weavers' room down a ladder, with his little girl, 
 seven years of age, between his legs. He was deeply burned on his left arm. 
 His child was burned slightly on her right leg. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall were 
 both badly burned on the face, breast, and neck, but not fatally. Thomas 
 Farrar was badly burned on the left arm. Mrs. Elizabeth Franch, aged about 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 745. 
 
 ^6, jumped from the fourth story. Her ribs were broken, and she was badly 
 burned. Mary Harris jumped from the third story and sustained a broken 
 ankle. Mary A. Huntley and Mrs. Hannah Rogers were severely burned. 
 Thomas Osburn was deeply burned in the face, neck, and arms. Miss Simms 
 was injured by jumping from the third story, and was also badly burned. 
 This completes the list of injured. The most probable conjecture as to the 
 origin of the fire is that it originated by a piece of iron or stone passing 
 through the picker, and igniting the linty combustible. Once started it spread 
 too rapidly for human efforts to extinguish. The water works at this time 
 did not extend farther east than High street, and the hose carts were conse- 
 quently useless. The building v/as the property of the old Black River 
 Woolen Company, and was rented to Messrs. Elting, King & Co., at $1,650 
 per year. The building and machinery were worth at least $35,000.

 The original charter incorporating the village of Watertown provided for 
 the election of five fire wardens, each of whom was supplied with four ladders. 
 Each owner or occupant of any building was obhged to furnish one or two 
 buckets, according to the size of the structure, and to have them properly 
 marked, and kept in a convenient place for use. It was also "ordained" 
 that, on an alarm or cry of fire, every male inhabitant of 1 5 years and upward 
 should repair to the place of the fire " forthwith " and put himself under the 
 direction of the fire wardens. A fine of $1 was imposed for " disobeying 
 orders." Each warden was furnished with a white staff seven feet long by 
 which to "distinguish" himself. 
 
 The first fire company was organized May 28, iSij, and on September 27 
 following, at a meeting of the " freeholders/' the sum of $200 was voted 
 toward the purchase of a first-class fire engine. The "Cataract" was pur- 
 chased soon afterward. The same meeting authorized the formation of a 
 Hook and Ladder Company, and William Smith was its first captain. 
 August 6, 1832, the second engine company was formed and attached to the 
 fire engine belonging to the Jefferson cotton-mills. This company was No. 
 1, and the one previously organized. Cataract Co. No. 2 ; Dyer Huntington 
 was chosen chief engineer, and Adriel Ely, assistant. In April, 1835, Nep- 
 tune Engine Co. No. 3 was formed, with the first brake engine used in town. 
 In 1837 this company became No. i. In 1842 a company was organized to 
 take charge of the engine formerly belonging to No. i. This company dis- 
 banded in 1845, and the same year, a new engine having been purchased, a 
 new company was formed and called Jefferson Hose No. 3. Cataract Co. No- 
 2 was disbanded about this time, its engine having been damaged. In June, 
 1848, a new engine was purchased for No. 1, and in July of the same year 
 Central Hose Co. No. 2 was organized, taking the old " machine " of No. i, 
 which was called " Rough and Ready," and which was stored in barns or

 sheds as place could be found. These companies exist to-day, with slight 
 variation in names, and are doing excellent service. On April 10, 1850, the- 
 fire department was chartered by act of the legislature, and the status of the 
 active branch of the department, January i, 1890, was as follows: — 
 
 Name of Company. Organized. Pres't Memb. 
 
 Neptune Hose ancl Steamer Co. No. 1. April, 1835. 39 
 
 Central Hose and Steamer Co. No. 2. July, 1848. 39 
 
 Jefferson Hose Co. No. 3. , 1845. 36 
 
 John Hancock H. and L. Co. No. 1. June 10, 1817. 40 
 
 In addition to the above Star Hose Co. No. 4 was organized January 20, 
 1890, for the better protection of that portion of the city lying north of the 
 river. It has 12 members and occupies a building on Curtis street owned by 
 the city. There are at present five companies of " exempt firemen,'' with a. 
 total membership of 266. 
 
 Neptune Company occupies a substantial brick building on Factory street^ 
 and Central Company a similar building on Goodale street, both owned by 
 the department. The last two occupy Firemen's hall on Stone street, built 
 by the village in 1854. The city pays the regular expenses of the organiza- 
 tion, including rent, etc. January 11, 1851, the department was in debt 56 
 cents. It has now an ample fund on hand, received chiefly from taxes on 
 insurance companies outside the state, doing business here, for the support 
 of disabled firemen. It has also erected two engine-houses, and February 8, 
 1875, tiy resolution of its directors, decided to purchase a first-class steam- 
 engine for especial use along the river, at important manufacturing points 
 not easily reached by fire hydrants. A Silsby rotary engine, one of the best 
 in the world, was purchased for $4,000. It has already done eff'ective serv- 
 ice, and demonstrated its superiority. The city, the same summer, placed 
 in the court-house tower a fire alarm bell weighing 4,000 pounds. In 1880 
 a new steamer, costing $4,100, was purchased of the Silsby Mfg. Co., and 
 named " Roswell P. Flower," in honor of a former member of the depart- 
 ment, the city and the department being joint owners. No further facts are 
 needed to demonstrate that VVatertown is well protected against large or 
 dangerous fires, especially when it is remembered that the reservoirs described 
 elsewhere furnish at all times a plentiful supply of water for fire purposes, by 
 means of 100 fire hydrants placed at convenient points about the city. 
 
 Following is a list of chief engineers of the department since its formation : 
 1832 to '37, Dyer Huntington; 1838, Asher N. Cross; 1839, W. H. Robin- 
 son ; 1839 to '48, records destroyed ; 1848 to 51, N. M. Woodruff; 1852 to

 secutive years. 
 
 WATER WORKS. 
 
 As early as May 22, 182T, a plan for supplying the village with water was 
 discussed, and action was taken towards the erection of reservoirs ; but the 
 measures were not carried out. June 14, 1828, the sum of $50 was appro- 
 priated by the trustees for the purpose of boring for water on Factory Square. 
 At the annual meeting in 1829 the proceeds of licenses in the First Ward 
 were apphed towards procuring water for the village. May 21, 1829, the 
 sum of $200 was voted for the purpose of boring for water, and in 
 pursuance of this object an artesian well was commenced on Public Square. 
 After it had been sunk many feet a steel drill was maliciously dropped into 
 it, thereby stopping the work. 
 
 In 1829 an association was formed for boring for water on Factory Square. 
 A hole 2^ inches in diameter was drilled to the depth of 127 feet, when 
 water was obtained, and, having been tubed, discharged for many years, until 
 about i860, a copious volume of water slightly charged with sulphur and iron. 
 On Sewall's Island a similar well was bored into the rock, which at 80 feet 
 discharged water and an inflammable gas, but being drilled deeper these both 
 were lost. 
 
 April 10, 1826, the Watertown Water Company was incorporated, but 
 nothing definite resulted, and a similar result followed the incorporation of 
 the Watertown water works, April ir, 1845. But in 1853 (March 22) L. 
 Paddock, G. C. Sherman, I. H. Fisk, and H. Cooper were incorporated as 
 the water commissioners of the village of Watertown. These citizens gave 
 a joint bond of $60,000, and were empowered to borrow on the credit of the 
 village $50,000 for a term of 30 years. Soon after their appointment the 
 commissioners contracted with J. C. Wells for the construction of a pump- 
 house and reservoir, the latter to be 150x250 feet at the water line and 12 
 feet deep, properly made with two center walls for filtering. The reservoir 
 was located about a mile southeast of the village, on a lot of six acres, upon 
 the brow of the limestone ridge, 180 feet above the village, and was given a 
 capacity of 2,000,000 gallons. On November 23, 1853, the water works 
 were completed and water for the first time was pumped into the reservoir, 
 and let into pipes communicating with residences and fire hydrants. An ex- 
 periment then made showed that water could be thrown 120 feet perpen- 
 dicularly. 
 
748 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 No serious fires have devastated the city since the completion of the res- 
 ervoir, but the growth of the city, and the increasing demands of its people, 
 led the water commissioners, in i87i,to construct still another reservoir. 
 This was located by the side of the former, and was completed in 1873. Its 
 dimensions are 250x200 feet, and its capacity 4,500,000 gallons. 
 
 In 1882 another pump-house was built, on the south side of Black River, 
 at the Delano Falls, and just within the city limits, at a cost, including main 
 pipe to the reservoir, of about $60,000. The whole river falls about 18 feet, 
 over a natural dam of limestone, and furnishes an abundant power for driving 
 the pumping machinery which suppHes the city with water. The building is of 
 stone, 48 by 80 feet, and contains two duplex, double acting pumps, with 18 
 by 36 inch plungers. Each pump is driven by two yz-inch turbine wheels. 
 The raceway is blasted from the solid rock, and the pumps and machinery 
 stand upon rock foundations. Water was introduced on the north side of 
 the river in 1887, and there are now nearly five miles of mains on that side. 
 Within the city Hmits are located 203 hydrants, and 189 gate valves for 
 conducting the flow of water through. There are at present about 1,500 
 taps and 23^ miles of pipes in the city. The entire amount of water bonds 
 ■of the city, issued at different times, aggregate $235,000. 
 
 CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 The Henry Keep Home was incorporated March 11, 1879, by Emma A. 
 Keep-Schley, Roswell P. Flower, Allen C. Beach, Pearson Munday, George 
 W. Flower, Anson R. Flower, and their associates. The object of this 
 corporation is to provide a home and support for destitute and homeless 
 men, women, and children. It is located on Washington street, a short dis- 
 tance from the business center of the city, and is surrounded by 35 acres of 
 excellent tillable land, which is the property of the institution. The building 
 is a handsome brick structure of gothic style of architecture, and is three 
 stories high in front and rear gable. Its dimensions on the ground floor are 
 114 by 55 feet. A veranda extends entirely around the Home. Inside, the 
 arrangements for comfort and living are complete. It is heated by steam 
 from both direct and indirect radiators, and ventilation is obtained in every 
 room by direct communication with the towers. The building contains 40 
 rooms for inmates, besides a dining room, kitchen, pantry, laundry, recep- 
 tion room, reading room, and parlor. There are gas fixtures and steam 
 radiators in every room, while bath rooms and closets are distributed through- 
 out the building, with hot and cold water on every floor. A complete system 
 of sewerage makes the sanitary arrangements of the institution complete. 
 This worthy charity was established through the munificence of Mrs. Emma 
 Keep-Schley, in memory of her husband, Henry Keep, who was a native of 
 Jefferson County, and long a resident of Watertown. It has about 30 
 inmates, and the rents from the property have paid all expenses, a surplus of

 about $10,000 now being it the treasury. The present officers of the insti- 
 tution are Mrs. Emma Keep-Schley, president ; Allen C. Beech, vice-pres- 
 ident and treasurer ; Silas L. George, secretary ; Mrs. Emma Keep-Schley, 
 Mrs. Emma Keep-Halsey, Roswell P. Flower, Allen C. Beach, Anson 
 R. Flower, Wilbur F. Porter, Byron B. Taggart, S. T. Bordwell, and Silas 
 L. George, trustees.

 street, was established in 1880. The object of this institution is the care of 
 all persons with diseases not contagious or incurable ; care free when unable 
 to pay. The present officers are H. M. Stevens, M. D., president j H. H. 
 Babcock, vice-president; Rev. John Nichols, secretary; Rev. R. A. Olin, 
 treasurer ; Mrs. Caroline Fitch, matron. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 Religious services were held in Watertown almost as soon as the town be- 
 gan to settle. In i8oi, the first Sunday after Hart Massey had removed his 
 family here, his neighbors met in his rude log cabin and held the first rehg- 
 ious services ever enjoyed within the present limits of the city. The first 
 society in the town was formed at Burrvills, July 3, 1803, as a Congregi- 
 tional Church, by Rev. Ebenezer Lazelle, and meetings were held in the barn 
 of Caleb Burnham. The church was supplied with preaching by missionaries 
 until October 5, 1815, when Rev. Daniel Banks was installed as first pas- 
 tor, remaining until 182T, when the form of its government was changed to 
 Presbyterian, and its location fixed at Watertown. This was the formation 
 of the First Presbyterian Church. The first deacons were Hart Massey and

 HON. WILLARD IVES. 
 
 Hon. Willard Ives, whose connections with the religious, educational, po- 
 litical, anJi philanthropical institutions of Jefferson County have made his 
 name familiar throughout Northern New York, was born in the town of Water- 
 town in 1806. His ancestry came from New England ; his father. Dr. Titus, 
 and his mother, Mary (Phelps) Ives, were both natives of Connecticut, and 
 came to Jefferson County in i8or. A brother, Jotham Ives, had previously, 
 in the fall, located here, and a few years subsequently the two brothers were 
 joined by a third, Erastus. They located large tracts of land in the western 
 part of Watertown and, adjoining, in Hounsfield, where they resided until 
 their deaths. Dr. Titus Ives was a graduate of medicine, but did not con- 
 tinue the practice to any extent after coming to Jefferson County. He was 
 quite prominent in local town affairs, and represented his district in the state 
 legislature in 1829-30. 
 
 Willard Ives, our subject, was an only child, receiving a good education for 
 pioneer days, and has always taken a deep interest in religious and educa- 
 tional affairs. He has always followed the avocation of a farmer, and has 
 done much to elevate the standard of agricultural pursuits. Mr. Ives has re- 
 sided upon his farm (now in the city limits) since 1850, and has witnessed the 
 change of his neighborhood from pioneer days to its present advanced po- 
 sition in the progress of the age. In 1840 he became a director of the Bank 
 of Watertown, and subsequently became its president. He has also been con- 
 nected with other banks, and served as president of the Merchants' Bank. 
 In religious affairs he has always been an earnest and efficient member of the 
 Methodist Episcopal Church, and in 1846 was appointed by his conference 
 '0 represent them at the World's Convention in London, after which he passed

 some months in observation on the continent. In 1848 he was a candidate 
 for Congress, and, notwithstanding the demoralization of his party during that 
 eventful year, came within 300 votes of an election. In 1852 he was elected 
 and served one term. 
 
 Mr. Ives is still hearty and vigorous, and enjoying the evening of his life 
 from the results of his own industry and sagacity. He owns 300 acres of su- 
 perior farming land, all of which now lies within the city limits of Watertown. 
 Although over 80 years of age he still conducts his many business and be- 
 nevolent affairs. He is the president of the Ives Seminary at Antwerp, which 
 he endowed, and has always contributed largely to its support. He is also 
 president of the Jefferson County Orphan Asylum, of which institution he 
 was one of the instigators and most earnest advocates. He has always been 
 a prominent and earnest worker in the Arsenal street Methodist Episcopal 
 Church and Sunday-school, and was one of the organizers of the Syracuse 
 University, and was also one of the incorporators of the Thousand Island 
 Camp-Meeting Association. He is also a director of the Davis Sewing Ma- 
 chine Co. and the Agricultural Insurance Co. 
 
 Mr. Ives has been twice married. His first wife, whose maiden name was 
 Charlotte Winslow, died in 1861. His second wife is a native of Oswego 
 County, and her maiden name was Lucina M. Eddy. Her parents were old 
 residents of the town of Philadelphia. 
 
 HENRY D. SEWALL. 
 
 Henry Devereux Sewall, who was for a number of years identified with the 
 best interests of the village of Watertown, came to that place in 1828, and 
 resided thereuntil his decease, in 1846. He was the son of Samuel Sewall, 
 judge and chief on the bench of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. 
 He was born at Marblehead, Mass., in 1786, and at the age of 18 ' 
 entered as a clerk in the counting house, in Boston, of his uncle, 
 Joseph Sewall, the head of the house of Sewall, Salisbury & Co., then 
 the principal dry goods importing and jobbing firm in New England. 
 The ancestry of Mr. Sewall were among the more notable of the old fam- 
 ilies of New England. His descent was direct from Henry Sewall, a 
 merchant of Coventry, in England, in the i6th century, the most important 
 city in the kingdom, next to London. This ancestor was, in the latter part 
 of the T6th century and the beginning of the 17th, for several years mayor 
 of Coventry, which honor had been likewise borne by his father in the earlier 
 years of Elizabeth's reign. Coventry, from having been the last stronghold 
 of the Catholic party, became, during Elizabeth's, and more notably in James's, 
 reign, the headquarters of those Republicans of the Establishment, the Puri- 
 tans, to which sect the late mayor transferred his allegiance ; and weary of the 
 persecution he thereby incurred he determined to emigrate to America, first 
 sending his son of the same name, in 1634, to the colony, and soon after 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 755 
 
 coming over himself. His son, Henry Sewall, was the father of a numerous 
 family, the most distinguished of his children being Samuel, long a member 
 of the council and judge in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, known to 
 history from his connection with the Salem witch trials in 1692, but less rec- 
 ognized by posterity as having been the first to proclaim that the statutes 
 against witchcraft were based upon human superstition ; the first to publish 
 a printed book denouncing slavery and the slave trade as an abridgement of 
 human rights. Of this Samuel Sewall's two surviving sons, the second, 
 Joseph, was for 56 years pastor of the Old South Church, in Boston. By his 
 wife, a daughter of Governor Dudley, he had but one child, a son, Samuel, 
 a merchant in Boston, who left a considerable family of daughters who inter- 
 married with the Quincys, Salisburys, Higginstons, Mays, — noted Boston 
 people, — and two sons, Joseph, the merchant, heretofore mentioned, and the 
 judge, Samuel, father of Henry Devereux, now under notice. 
 
 In 1807 Sewall, Salisbury & Co. detailed their clerks, Henry Devereux 
 Sewall and Arthur Tappan, the latter a brother of the junior partner in the 
 firm, to go to Portland, in the district of Maine, and open a branch store 
 under the firm name of Tappan & Sewall; but after doing business in Port- 
 land for two years they became discouraged by the ill effects produced by 
 Jefferson's embargo, and in 1809 transferred the mercantile establishment to 
 Montreal. There they were quite successful. Merchants and traders in 
 Central and Northern New York were at that time among the principal cus- 
 tomers of the Canadian capital city. It was there that Mr. Setvall formed 
 acquaintanceships with Watertown merchants that shaped his course later in 
 his career. The War of 1812 coming on, all Americans residing in Canada 
 were required either to swear allegiance to the British Crown or to quit the 
 country. Being patriots, and the descendants of patriots, our young traders 
 chose the latter alternative, although to the ruin of their business, and in 18 13 
 broke up their estabhshment. Mr. Tappan went directly to New York, be- 
 coming afterwards the leading dry goods merchant in that city, and a dis- 
 tinguished philanthropist. Mr. Sewall devoted his attention to the settling of 
 matters of the late firm, and the collection of their outstanding debts. 
 
 Mr, Sewall's father dying in 18 14 he spent a considerable part of that 
 year in settling the estate, and early in 1815 established himself in New York 
 in the foreign shipping and commission business, in partnership with John R. 
 Hurd. This business proving but moderately remunerative, Mr. Hurd ac- 
 cepted an offer in 1823 to take the presidency of a marine insurance com- 
 pany in New York, and Mr. Sewall, under the advice of his uncle Joseph, the 
 merchant in Boston, undertook a commission agency in New York in part- 
 nership with Edmund Q. Sewall, a son of Joseph, for the sale of domestic goods 
 m connection with the foreign commission business. Joseph Sewall at that 
 time had the agency in Boston of most of the few manufactories of cotton and 
 woolen goods in New England, and through his intervention the firm of 
 H. D. & E. Q. Sewall became the first in New York to undertake a similar 
 
7S6 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 agency in the latter market. It was thus that Mr. Sewall established an inter- 
 course with Gilbert & Sigourney, the managers of the cotton factory at 
 Watertown, and the latter concern becoming largely indebted to the New 
 York house, the larger part of this indebtedness was finally transferred to 
 property in and about Watertown. 
 
 In the financial crash of 1827 Mr. Sewall's firm in Boston, being com- 
 pelled to succumb, carried down with them the house in New York of H. D. 
 & E. Q. Sewall ; and the junior partner, in the latter, dying, and the outlook for 
 future business in New York seeming discouraging, Mr. Sewall coucluded to 
 remove with his family to Watertown, and managed the property there 
 acquired through the intercourse with Gilbert & Sigourney, which firm also 
 had been compelled by the extreme financial pressure of the time to with- 
 draw from active business. He had likewise a view to the further extension 
 of manufacturing at Watertown, and had always nourished a preference for a 
 country life. Mr. Sewall, with the valuable assistance of those excellent 
 men, well known to old citizens of Watertown, John Sigourney and Josiah 
 W. Baker, carried on the old cotton factory and store from 1829 to 1834, 
 when, the charter expiring, the factory and appurtenances were sold. In 
 1828-29 ^^ constructed the dam on the Black River at the upper end of his 
 island, built his residence on the island, then a beiutiful spot, constructed 
 or bought and afterwaids sold a sawmill and a tannery on the north side of 
 the north branch, opposite the island, a paper mill and a machine shop on 
 the lower point of the island on the north branch, a flouring mill on the main 
 branch, south side, just below the island, an extensive saw- mill at Dexter — 
 all between 1829 and 1833 ; ^"d in 1834, with the assistance of New York 
 and Boston capital, he erected an extensive woolen factory on the south side of 
 the river opposite the island, and in 1834, '35, and '36 built several brick stores 
 on the east side of Factory Square, as well as a number of dwelling houses on 
 Factory street, and in the neighborhood of the woolen-mills; and during the 
 same period contributed largely to the erection of the first academy in the 
 village (of which the late Judge Mullin v/^s the first principal), and in 
 1832-33 furnished the greater part of the means for and himself attended to the 
 construction and fitting up of the first Episcopal Church in the village, the pred- 
 ecessor of the present church on Court street Later he built another flouring- 
 raiU, below the woolen factory, Mr. Sewall, in connection with Merrill Coburn, 
 held, in 1833, the contract for furnishing the ties and sleepers for the Utica 
 & Schenectady Railroad, the first railroad in the state of any length (the only 
 previous ones being the short Mohawk & Hudson, and the Harlem, not 
 going north of Harlem at that time) ; and, to carry out the contract, put up the 
 extensive saw-mills at Dexter, and, as the sleepers were required to be of yellow 
 pine, the contractors secured all there was of that timber along the Black 
 River. The flood of 1833 swept all the logs into the lake at heavy loss to 
 the contractors, From 1835 'o '843 Mr. Sewall was chiefly occupied with 
 the business of the woolen factory, which, partly from want of sufficient skill 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 757 
 
 in the manufacture of the fine goods for which the works were designed, 
 partly from insufficiency of funds, and partly from the reduction of the tariff, 
 did not prove ultimately profitable. 
 
 In the early spring of 1843 Mr. Sewall was badly injured by the upsetting 
 of the Utica stage coach while on a journey to the eastward, from which 
 time his health failed, and his business career practically closed, his death in 
 June, 1846, being caused by the paralysis resulting from the injury. 
 
 Mr. Sewall married, in January, 1816, Mary Catharine, daughter of Birdsey 
 Norton, of Goshen, Connecticut. They had nine children, of whom the first 
 seven were born in New York and the youngest two in Watertown. Among 
 them are Mrs. Mary Goodale, widow of Dr. Charles Goodale, and Edmund 
 Quincy Sewall, both residing in Watertown. The late Mrs. Ann Elizabeth 
 Camp, wife of T. H. Camp, of Watertown, was his second daughter. Of the 
 two other survivors at the present time (1889), one son, Henry, resides in 
 New Yorkj and another, Walter, in Springfield, Mass. Mr. Sewall was a 
 man of fine intellectual culture and moral worth, who is remembered with 
 high regard by the older inhabitants of the county. 
 
 HON. BEMAN BROCKWAY. 
 
 Hon. Beman Brockway, son of Gideon and Nancy (Williams) Brockway, 
 was born in Southampton, Mass., April 15, 1815. He descends from Wols- 
 ton Brockway, who, December 3, 1659, " bought housing and land of John 
 Reynolds," in Lyme, Connecticut, and became a permanent settler, and a 
 man of consideration and substance. The line of descent is Wolston', 
 William", William", Gideon', Isaiah^ Gideon", Beman'. He also has kinship 
 with the Bridges, Pratt, Comstock, Beman, and Williams families, all conspic- 
 uous in New England history. 
 
 Coming thus of sturdy New England stock, and of parents who inherited 
 honesty, industry, and self-reliance, and transmitted it unweakened to their 
 children, his home surroundings were most admirably calculated to give a 
 good " fitting-out " for a life of respectability and usefulness. Gideon Brock- 
 way was a farmer in an obscure part of an isolated town ; a man of rigid in- 
 tegrity, unyielding will, advanced and liberal ideas ; hard-working, and, after 
 the New England manner, a great reader and independent thinker ; a Dem- 
 ocrat and an Universalist. He was athletic and vigorous. Mrs. Brockway, 
 a. woman of loving heart and Christian principle, " lived solely to make her 
 friends happy." 
 
 In the home circle, and not from school education, did Beman Brockway 
 acquire the character and habits which have been the foundation of his suc- 
 cess; and in the rough, hard labor of the farm was formed that strong physique 
 which has sustained him in his long life's able work. Three summers 
 and three winters in the "back-woods " district school was all the " educa- 
 tion " he received. A natural student, however, he seized every opportunity 
 
758 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 of adding to his store of knowledge. From a very early age his aspiration was 
 to be a " printer "; and, in 1830, he answered an advertisennent for an appren- 
 tice to the printing trade, and from that time to the present this has been 
 his vocation, and every grade and position has been thoroughly mastered and 
 successfully occupied. In 1833 he came to this state, and, in the spring of 
 1834, became a journeyman in the Fredonia Censor office. The next fall, 
 while on a visit to New York city, he formed the acquaintance of Horace 
 Greeley, then conducting the New Yorker. 
 
 The Democratic leaders of Chautauqua, about this time, established the 
 Mayville Sentinel, and Mr. Brockway, whose sympathies were strongly Dem- 
 ocratic, secured a position in the office and aided in getting out the first num- 
 ber. In a short time he became publisher. He was then 19 years old. 
 Much of the editorial work devolved on him, but Judge Osborne, an able 
 writer, wrote the political articles. This arrangement continued two years, 
 when the owners of the paper, to reward the diligence with which Mr. Brock- 
 way had applied himself to their interests, proposed that he become the pro- 
 prietor. He accepted the offer. He now had to be his own editor, 
 and it was a great responsibility to the young man, as he considered himself 
 indifferently qualified in education, experience, or culture. But his practical 
 common sense came to his aid. He " wrote only what he felt compelled to 
 write, said what necessity seemed to require in the fewest possible words, and 
 stopped when he was through." His articles were approved, and his conduct 
 of the Sentinel met with success. He remained 10 years in Mayville, then 
 sold the office and shortly after purchased the Oswego Palladium, taking 
 possession in June, 1845. In 1852 he established the Daily Palladium. In 
 the spring of 1853 he sold the paper, removed to Pulaski, and took charge of 
 the Democrat until October, when he was offered and accepted an editorial 
 position on the New Vork Ti-ibune. This paper then presented a rare array 
 of talent, and was in its palmiest days. The "chief" was Horace Greeley; 
 the managing editor Charles A. Dana; associates, James S. Pike, William H. 
 Fry, George Ripley, George M. Snow, Bayard Taylor, F. J. Ottarson, Will- 
 iam Newman, Beman Brockway, Solon Robinson, and Donald C. Hender- 
 son. With this brainy corps of associates, and in this congenial society, Mr. 
 Brockway passed two years as day editor and general writer for the Tribune. 
 His terse, rugged style was in harmony with the strength displayed in its col- 
 umns, and had circumstances favored his longer stay he would doubtless have 
 become one of the leading editorial writers of the nation. 
 
 His wife dying, Mr. Brockway, in 1855, returned to Pulaski, where he 
 could better oversee the education of his children. Here he purchased flour- 
 ing-mills, which he conducted for three years. In 1859 he represented his 
 district in the legislature, there introducing and becoming the father of the 
 first registry law of the state. During these years he made valuable contri- 
 butions to the Tribune, Troy Times, Albany Journal, etc. One article pub- 
 lished in August, 1859, in Hunt's Magazine, on " Our Canals and Railroads," 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN.

 attracted much attention from the leading men, was copied extensively by 
 the press, and demonstrated that he was not only an able financier, but a far- 
 seeing statesman. In the spring of i860 he purchased an interest in the 
 Watertown Reformer. From this time he has been connected with this 
 journal and the Daily Times, which was established in 1861. 
 
 The anti-slavery sentiments of Mr. Brockway had brought him into com- 
 munion and fellowship with the Republican party at its formation, and he 
 gave his ablest utterances in its service. Strong personal friendship for Reu- 
 ben E. Fenton did not tend to relax his efforts for the party in the campaign 
 which made that gentleman governor, and his great knowledge of political 
 affairs and men of the state caused Governor Fenton to select him for his 
 private secretary and confidential adviser. In April, 1865, he was appointed 
 canal appraiser and continued in office until January, 1870. 
 
 Mr. Brockway's loyalty to his old friend Greeley attached him to the Liberal 
 Republicans during the campaign of 1872, and he accepted the nomination 
 for member of Congress tendered him by that party, although it was evident 
 that a "Greeley man " stood no chance of an election. He received 12,899 
 votes, and was much gratified by such an endorsement, and he considers that 
 in supporting Mr. Greeley he did not deviate from true Republicanism. 
 
 In May, 1870, the firm of Ingalls, Brockway & Skinner was formed to 
 conduct the Times and Reformer, and for general printing. In 1873 *he 
 interest of Mr. Ingalls passed to Mr. Brockway, and the next year he became 
 sole proprietor. In 1880 his sons were associated with him, and the firm 
 became as now — Brockway & Sons. In its new building, with its model 
 equipment and arrangement, the Times office has no superior. 
 
 Mr. Brockway is one of the oldest and ablest editors in the state ; he has 
 had more than half a century's experience, and enjoys the esteem and vener- 
 ation of the fraternity. He has ever been very careful in his statements ; has 
 always clothed his ideas in words intelligible to any ordinary mind ; and has 
 never been charged with ambiguity, nor could his readers ever be in doubt 
 concerning his positions. He has spoken his thoughts in an original, simple, 
 and concise manner; going directly to the pith of the subject in a way pe- 
 culiarly his own. His writings have been filled with thought, and impressed 
 with their power both friend and foe. He has always been industrious, eco- 
 nomical, energetic, and, although tenacious of his rights, carefully respects 
 those of others. As a mere boy, in a strong opposition county and a small 
 country village, he made the Mayville Sentinel the acknowledged leading 
 paper of the county. In Oswego he found the Palladitun weak and declining, 
 infused into it vigor and life, and soon made it a " paying '' sheet and an oracle 
 in the/section. It is not too much to say that but for his energy, common 
 sense, and business principles the Times would have long since ended its 
 career, and that his sagacity, push, and practical ability have made it the power 
 in journalism it is to-day. His business has been the object of his efforts, 
 and he has proven himself a successful "newspaper man " in every sense of 
 
760 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 the word. Honors have come to him, but always unsought, and their accom- 
 panying duties have been conscientiously discharged. He is interested in all 
 matters tending to elevate and improve humanity, and liberally contributes 
 to theiradvancement ; he has done good service in the causes of education 
 and historical research, and has been president of the Jefferson County His- 
 torical Society from its organization. His connection with Odd Fellowship 
 began in 1846, and from that time he has been an active member. He was 
 district deputy of Oswego County for several years, and has been frequently, 
 and now is, a member of the Grand Lodge. Mr. Brockway is a forceful and 
 effective speaker. His lectures are original, spicy, and valuable. On the 
 platform he attracts attention by the vigor of his presentation and logical 
 reasoning. His love of fun and dry jokes comes out to relieve both his spoken, 
 and written arguments. 
 
 Mr. Brockway has been twice married, first. May 23, 1837, to Elizabeth 
 Allen Warner, who died September 10, 1854. Their children are Jefferson 
 Warner, Elizabeth Gertrude (Mrs. H. L. Lamb), of Lansingburgh, and Henry 
 Allen. October 22, 1855, he married Sarah Warner Wright, a cousin of his 
 first wife, and, like her, a niece of the celebrated Professor Warner, of Am- 
 herst College, Mass. 
 
 Mr. Brockway possesses a strong personality. A man of the people, he 
 resembles Abraham Lincoln in many parts of his make-up; and, like him, 
 has a way of his own for whatever he does, great persistency, untiring energy, 
 a rare insight into character and motives, and is quick in drawing inferences. 
 He is straightforward, not serpentine, in his methods, and tells the truth as 
 he sees it, let it hit where it may. His standard of honor and truthfulness is 
 high, and duplicity and deceit are abhorrent to him. His nature, sometimes 
 apparently brusque, is kindly and sympathetic, and he makes friends with 
 congenial natures readily, and does not relinquish them easily. His life has 
 done credit to the family name, and we trust his vigorous pen may push its 
 pungent truths home to his readers for long years to come. 
 
 FREDERICK W. EAMES. 
 
 Frederick W. Eames was born in Kalamazoo, Mich., in November, 1843. 
 His father. Lorett Eames, was descended from hardy New England stock, 
 and, like his son, was one of those inventive geniuses who have done so much 
 to benefit the world. His mother, Miss Lucy C. Morgan, was the daughter 
 of Rev. EUsha Morgan, a man of marked ability, unusual balance of judg- 
 ment, strong convictions, and conscientious devotion. His daughter inherited 
 these characteristics, and intensified them by an increased mental activity. 
 Miss Morgan was married to Lorett Eames about 1835, and removed to 
 Kalamazoo, where her husband had already taken up his residence. There 
 Frederick W. was born, passing his early years in an intelligent Christian 
 home, and enjoying the superior educational advantages of his native village. 
 
y^^ }ft§^ 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 76 1 
 
 iHe had scarcely entered upon his college course when the Rebellion began, 
 and President Lincoln called for volunteers to protect the threatened life of 
 the nation. The subject of this sketch, then scarcely i8 years of age, was 
 the second man to enlist in the first company raised in his own town for 
 defence of the old flag. Captain Charles S. May, who commanded this com- 
 pany, thus writes of him: " He was one of the gallant and patriotic band of 
 young students in Kalamazoo College who enlisted in my company, at the 
 -very first call to arms in 1861 ; and during the time I served as his captain 
 I remember him as a good and brave soldier, bearing himself gallantly and 
 unflinchingly in the early battles in which we were engaged ; and though but 
 a mere boy in years, always showing that native energy and shrewdness for 
 which he was afterward distinguished." He was subsequently mustered out 
 of the Second Michigan Infantry to accept a lieutenancy in another Michigan 
 regiment. In 1863 he was honorably discharged by General Grant from this 
 regiment, and appointed aide in the revenue service and served on the Mis- 
 sissippi until the close of the war. He was subsequently appointed govern- 
 ment detective, and was instrumental in unearthing and destroying a danger- 
 ous gang of counterfeiters in Michigan. In 1870 he was married to Miss 
 Mattie Shilling, of his native state. Two children were born to them ; only 
 ithe elder, named for his grandfather Lorett, survives. Mr. Eames seems to 
 have inherited from his father a passion and genius for invention. His 
 insight of possible mechanism, and his resources in mechanical devices, was 
 phenomenal, and the difficulties in the way but stimulated his enthusiasm and 
 -augmented his energy. Like an eagle which soars upward on the very 
 breast of the storm that beats down all feebler birds, he was always at his best 
 ■when obstacles were thickest and greatest. His conceptions of the desired 
 ■end of an invention were clear and strong ; his knowledge of all the condi- 
 1ions, comprehensive and balanced ; the mutual relations of these conditions 
 clearly seen, all possible complications stripped off, and the end sought with a 
 persistent grappling with obstacles, and an opulence of resources which soon 
 'made him master of any problem. I know of no man who, in his peculiar 
 field, was a better illustration of the truth that the shortest distance between 
 two points is a straight line — simplicity and efficiency were the two objective 
 points in all his devices. Beside all the inventions which enter into his power 
 'brakes for railroad trains, plain, automatic^ and duplex, he invented an auto- 
 matic governor and cut-off for engines of ocean steamers, a steam pump, and 
 a multitude of other mechanical devices. 
 
 In perfecting and securing patents for all these inventions in the United 
 States and foreign countries, and in seeking their application to the indus- 
 trial arts, he repeatedly crossed the ocean, spent months and years in Eng- 
 land and on the continent, and did it all handicapped by inadequate capi- 
 tal, financial embarrassment, and costly litigations with powerful antagonists, 
 backed by millions of money, with whom his inventions came into compe- 
 tition. As a man he was loved most by those who knew him best. His

 friends were ardent, while his enemies feared, sometimes hated, but never de- 
 spised by him. His whole hfe was an intense struggle, and therefore the 
 rugged side of his nature was toward the world, but those who shared his- 
 confidence knew that no man ever had a more ready appreciation of kindness, 
 a more open hand, or a more open heart than Mr. Eames. It is deeply to be 
 regretted that while defending his rights, and securing his property from' 
 those who sought to wrest it from his grasp, his useful life was suddenly ter- 
 minated by a bullet from a pistol in the hand of a man whom he had be- 
 friended. He was thus killed, in the spring of 1883, at the early age of 
 39 years. What he might have done, if life had been spared, it is impos- 
 sible to say; but certainly his great genius and indomitable energy gave 
 promise of the largest results. h. c. t. 
 
 The earHest movement towards the establishment of a bank in Jefferson- 
 County was made in 1807. A petition was sent to the legislature praying 
 for a loan to the county of $150,000, on good landed security, in bills of 
 credit to be made a legal tender. This was not granted, upon the ground 
 that the constitution of the United States prohibited state governments from, 
 making anything but gold and silver coin a legal tender. 
 
 The Jefferson County National Bank was organized in 1816, with a cap- 
 ital stock of $50,000. The bank commenced business at Adams, but in 
 1 82 1 was removed to Watertown. The building now occupied by the insti- 
 tution was erected about 1840. The changes made in the capital stock are 
 thus noted: In i8i6, $50,000; 1821, $80,000; 1836, $200,000; 1844, 
 $148,800. Since the latter date the capital has remained the same. The- 
 surplus and profits are (1890) $318,500. In 1865 the bank was reorganized' 
 and made a national bank. Its presidents have been Frederick White, i8r6- 
 and '17 ; Jabez Foster, 1817 to 1820 ; Ethel Bronson, 1820 to 1824; Jabez 
 Foster, 1825; Perley Keyes, 1826 to 1832; Micah Sterling, 1832 to 
 1834; O. Hungerford, 1834 to 1845; N. M. Woodruff, 1845 to 1855;. 
 Robert Lansing, 1855 to 1856; and Talcott H. Camp, elected in 1856, 
 who continues in that position at the present time, and is the chief 
 financial officer. The cashiers have been James Wood, 1816 to r82o; 
 O. Hungerford, 1824 to 1833; O. N. Brainard, 1833 to 1866; Myers 
 Thompson, 1866 to 1871 ; and S. T. Woolworth since the latter date. 
 During the long period while Mr. Hungerford and Mr. Brainard were con- 
 tinued as cashiers, they were the chief financial officers. Since the death of 
 Mr. Brainard, in 1865, T. H. Camp has uninterruptedly held the office of 
 president, and has been the chief financial officer during all those years. 
 
 The history of this venerable institution has been marked by a career of 
 usefulness to the public and to the growing prosperity of Jefferson County. It 
 has pursued a wise policy of helpfulness and encouragement to its customers. 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 76.5 
 
 By its able and conservative management it has won the confidence of the 
 public, who are well assured of its ability to fulfill its obligations. 
 
 Talcott Hale Camp. — This genial and well-known gentleman, now at the 
 age of 73 years, may regularly be found at his desk at the Jefferson County 
 National Bank of Watertown, attending to his duties as president of that in- 
 stitution, which responsible position he has held for 34 years, for 25 years 
 having had the entire management of its financial operations, under advice 
 of an able body of directors. He has discharged his trust with conspicuous 
 ability and success, and may well derive satisfaction from the knowledge 
 that during these years the policy of the bank has been helpful, by its finan- 
 cial aid and personal encouragement, in developing the resources of Jeffer- 
 son County ; the stock-holders, meanwhile, having received regular and 
 liberal dividends. 
 
 Mr. Camp was born in Utica, N. Y., and soon after his father, George 
 Camp, removed with his family to Sackets Harbor, a place of activity and 
 prosperity, where, in 1817, he printed the first newspaper of that village, called 
 the Sackets Harbor Gazette. Sackets Harbor, however, failed to fulfill 
 the prophecy of its friends in regard to its growth and prosperity, and this led 
 many young men of that place to seek homes and occupation elsewhere. 
 Mr. Camp was offered important positions elsewhere, but selected Water- 
 town as a place of advancing growth and influence, and located there in the 
 spring of 1840. He opened a drug and paint store in Loveland Paddock's 
 block, on Washington Place, and this prosperous business established by 
 him has continued in the same locality for 50 consecutive years, for the last 
 25 years being conducted by George B. Massey and Mr. Camp's son, Walter 
 Hale. " 
 
 Mr. Camp has been identified with numerous enterprises and corporations 
 which have been inflential in advancing the material, educational, and moral 
 growth of his chosen residence. At an early day he advocated and assisted 
 in the arduous attempt to build the railroad from Rome to Cape Vincent, 
 and in 1863 was chosen one of the directors of the road, which office he held 
 about 25 years, during seven of which he was its vice-president. The office 
 of the treasurer of the corporation was located in Watertown, and its finan- 
 cial transactions were largely under the care and direction of Mr. Camp, and 
 were so well supervised by him as to meet the hearty approval of the direc- 
 tors and stockholders. He has been connected with several manufacturing 
 enterprises, but more intimately associated with the Watertown Steam Engine 
 Company, continuing as one of its trustees for many years, and has aided in 
 its growth until it has now become a large and flourishing concern, with one 
 of the most extensive plants in the United States. 
 
 The Je.fferson County Institute, an academy founded in 1837 by the Pres- 
 byterians and Congregationalists of the county, and for many years affording 
 advanced educational advantages to the youth of both sexes, found in Mr. 
 Camp a friend and supporter. For 40 years he has been one of its trustees^

 and is now its president ; but the building, library, apparatus, etc., are leased 
 to the city, and used by the High School, in the system of graded schools 
 under the direction of the board of education. Mr. Camp is one of the trus- 
 tees and officers of the Jefiferson County Savings Bank, an institution emi- 
 nently useful in encouraging persons of moderate income to deposit a portion 
 -of their earnings to accumulate and become a sure source of supply for future 
 wants. This bank has paid no salaries to its trustees, their only compensa- 
 tion being the satisfaction they enjoy from the knowledge that the institution 
 has become strong, popular, and helpful. 
 
 Mr. Camp has not been desirous of political preferment. As a patriotic 
 citizen he has always sustained the laws and institutions of his native land ; 
 but in no sense has he been a narrow-minded partisan. Although emi- 
 nently qualified, by business and executive ability and unimpeachable integ- 
 rity, to fill positions of trust and responsibility in the gift of the people, he 
 has left the race for office to be run by others. From the time of his coming 
 to Watertown he has been a member of the First Presbyterian Church, a 
 •Christian institution recognized for its beneficient influence and generous 
 charities, to which Mr. Camp has been a liberal contributor. On June 3, 
 1847, Mr. Camp was married to Ann Elizabeth Sewall, daughter of Henry 
 D. Sewall, a man noted for his pubUc spirit and mental ability. Her mortal 
 life ended June 3, 1888, just 41 years from the day of her marriage, and her 
 memory is cherished by three worthy sons, namely : Fred Sewall, who resides 
 in Norwich, Conn., and is interested in a large cotton-mill there; Walter 
 Hale, who resides in Watertown, and is of the firm of Camp & Massey ; and 
 ■George Van Saatvoord, who also resides in Watertown, and is connected 
 with the Jefferson County National Bank. 
 
 Mr. Camp is still not only active and engaged in many business pursuits, 
 but is also prominent in social and literary circles. He is a charitable and 
 kind-hearted Christian gentleman, and is ever ready to offer counsel and sub- 
 stantial aid to the numerous deserving ones who seek his advice. His physi- 
 cal and mental activity warrant the belief and hope that he has many more 
 years of usefulness yet before him. 
 
 Smith T. Woolworth, cashier of the Jefferson County National Bank, is a 
 native of Lewis County, and was born in 1849. His parents, Gilbert E. and 
 Elizabeth (Smith) Woolworth, were representatives of old families of this sec- 
 tion of the state. Mr. Woolworth began his banking experience as clerk in 
 the Exchange Bank of Carthage, and in 1865 came to Watertown, where 
 he has since resided. He was connected with several firms, as book-keeper 
 and teller, and in 1870 entered the Jefferson County Bank, and since 187 1 
 has served as cashier and teller. Mr. Woolworth is treasurer of the Central 
 Park Association on the St. Lawrence, and a director of the Electric Light 
 Company of Watertown. 
 
 The National Bank and Loan Company was organized as the Watertown 
 Bank and Loan Company, in September, 1849, with a capital stock of $7Si-

 76s 
 
 000, and in 1865 it was reorganized and converted into a national bank. 
 The present capital is $75,000, with a surplus fund of $25,000. The officers 
 of this institution have been as follows : Presidents, George C Sherman 
 and George H. Sherman; vice presidents, G. H. Sherman, R. L. Sherman, 
 and C. A. Sherman ; cashiers, P. V. Rogers, Charles Strong, C. A. Sherman, 
 N. P. Wardwell, and C. L. Parmalee. 
 
 George H. Sherman is a native of Watertowri, and son of George C. and 
 Mary A. (Hubbard) Sherman. George C. Sherman came from Rhode Island 
 to Jefferson County and was admitted to the bar. (A sketch of his life ap- 
 pears in the chapter devoted to the Bench and Bar.) George H. is also an 
 attorney. He studied law with his father, and was admitted to practice in 
 1855. He was for several years in practice with John Lmsing, but since 
 1863 has devoted his attention to his banking interests. He is a trustee 
 of the Davis Sewing Machine Co., the Orphans Home, and the City Hospital. 
 
 The Jefferson County Savings Bank was chartered in 1859, its first presi- 
 dent being James I. Steele. During its long business career it has main- 
 tained an untarnished record, and has served all its depositors faithfully and 
 honestly. The building is substantially built of stone, is two floors in height,, 
 and occupies an area of about 30x70 feet in dimensions. The assets of 
 the bank amount to $1,504,864.86, of which $152,064.15 is surplus, the 
 amount due to depositors being $1,352,800.17. This sum is chieflyf invested 
 in real estate, mortgages, government, state, and city bonds, and in the se- 
 lection of which absolute security has been the first consideration. The pres- 
 ent officers are Frederick Emerson, president; Talcott H. Camp, first vice- 
 president ; S. B. Upham, second vice-president; G. H. Sherman, secretary; 
 and George Smith, treasurer. The first four gentlemen named, in conjunction 
 with Messrs. George B. Phelps, A. M. Farwell, E. Q. Sewall, D. W. Bald- 
 win, Alden F. Barker, J. A, Sawyer, Ross C. Scott, H. M. Stevens, George 
 W. Wiggins, and N. P. Wardwell, form the board of trustees. They are all 
 gentlemen of prominence in the commercial and professional circles of the 
 city, and the scrupulous care with which they have guarded the funds placed 
 at their disposal, and the success which has attended their management, in- 
 dicate not only their ability, but that they duly appreciate the responsibilities 
 of the trust which has been reposed in them, and that they enjoy the reward 
 of knowing that the Jefferson County Savings Bank is regarded as one of the 
 most reliable savings institutions in the state. 
 
 The National Union Bank was organized as the Union Bmk, June 10, 
 1852, with a capital stock of $100,000, and the following board of directors:.

 Samuel B. Upham, who has been identified with the National Union Bank 
 over 30 years, is a native of Massachusetts, where he was born in 1819. At 
 the age of 10 years he became a resident of Jefferson County, and at the 
 age of 18 he left the farm and began his business life as a clerk in a store at 
 Rodman, where he remained until 1841, when he came to Watertown. He 
 commenced as an assistant with O. C. Utley, and after two years of service 
 was admitted as a partner, Mr. Utley sold out his interest, in 1848, to J. A. 
 Sawyer, and this firm continued until 1854. In 1856 Mr. Upham became 
 cashier of the bank, where he devoted his entire attention until 1890. He 
 is a director and vice-president of the Jefferson County Savings Bank, and 
 is a director of the Watertown Steam Engine Co , the Thermometer Co., the

 Other banks, which were prominent and useful in their day, have existed 
 ill Watiirtown. Some of them were discontinued after successful careers, and 
 failure or removal to other places was the fate of others. Among these in- 
 stitutions we will mention the following: Black River Bank, opened May 
 25, 1844, capital $100,000, Loveland Paddock, president; Oscar V. Pad-

 PRESENT MANUFACTURES. 
 
 As a manufacturing city Watertown has many and superior advantages. 
 Black River, at this point, furnishes a permanent and inexhaustible water- 
 power, unsurpassed by any in the state and by few in the United States. Its 
 shipping facilities are also excellent, three branches of the R., W. & 0. Rail- 
 road extending to important shipping points in Jefferson County, on Lake 
 Ontario, and that great commercial highway, the St. Lawrence River. Ex- 
 tending south are several lines connecting with the New York Central, West 
 Shore, D., L. & W., and other important railroads. Few cities are more 
 favorably sitaated for commercial operations than Watertown. A short 
 sketch of many of the manufacturing estabhshments here we trust will be of 
 interest to our readers. 
 
 The Bagley &> Sewall Co. was established in 1823, by George Goulding, 
 and after a number of changes of title and proprietorship was finally organ- 
 ized as a stock company, under the present title, in 1882. The plant is most 
 extensive in character, and covers an area of about two acres. The main 
 structure is of a V shape, the base being 40 feet wide, and extending on 
 one side 325 feet in length. This contains the machine shop, and on the 
 other side the building is about no feet long, and is utilized as an erecting 
 shop. The blacksmith shop is at the end of the building, and there are two 
 foundries, each respectively 120x40 and 80x40 feet in dimensions. Between

 these is a space of 25 feet which is partly taken up by the ovens used for 
 making and baking cores and molds. In addition to the above there are 
 other buildings on the land, including the offices, the pattern shops, etc. The 
 motive force for operating the works is derived from the water-power of the 
 Black River, the company utilizing this to the extent of about 150 horse- 
 power, requiring the aid of four powerful water-wheels, and in the various 
 departments a force of about 130 mechanics and work people are given em- 
 ployment. It is one of the oldest enterprises of Watertown and has been 
 operated upon the same site for more than 60 years. The products of this 
 industry consist of printing presses, wood pulp machines, weighing jacks, ro- 
 tary pumps, patent vices, paper-mill machinery, etc. 
 
 Hon. George A. Bagley, president of the Bagley & Sewall Co., » native of Watertown, 
 was born in 1826. His parents were Bernard and Znrviah (Gates) Bagley. His father was a 
 prominent lawyer of Jefferson County, and a sketch of his life appears in the chapter devoted 
 to the Bench and Bar, in another portion of this work. George A. Bagley was a law student 
 in the office of his father, and was admitted to practice in 1846. He devoted a few years to 
 his profession, associated with his father, and in 1853 entered upon his business career, which 
 has been eminently successful. The original business had been inaugurated by Mr. Goulding, 
 and in 1853 the iirm of Goulding, Sewall & Bagley was established. In 1862 Mr. Goulding re- 
 tired, and the present company was estabUshed, with a capital stock of $100,000. Mr. Bagley 
 is president; Edward Q, SewaU, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Bagley has also been prominent 
 in political affairs, having served as supervisor of his town for a number of years, during 
 which time he was chairman of the board. He also served as president of the village. From 
 1863 to 1870 he was collector of internal revenue, and in 1874 was elected to represent the 22d 
 district in Congress, serving two terms. He is president of the Davis Sewing Machine Co., and 
 a director of the Eames Vacuum Brake Co. Mr. Bagley is also prominent in the management 
 of Brookside Cemetery, the City Hospital, Grace Church, and is active in all works o£ charity 
 and benevolence." 
 
 Eames Brake Compatiy. — Lorett Eames, the youngest of the family of 
 Daniel Eames, went West in 1831, and settled in Jackson, Mich., building 
 there the second frame house in the town, which was then called Jacksonville. 
 From there he went to Kalamazoo, then called Bronson, and engaged in farm- 
 ing on Grand Prairie, where, he said, he was " free from the stones and Canada 
 thistles of Jefferson County." He later went into mechanical business, 
 building portable saw-mills. In 1861 he put in the pump for the city of 
 Watertown, and then bought Beebee's Island, in company with his brother, 
 Moses Eames, and located his shop there. They changed the old boarding- 
 houses into shops, putting power and shafting into them, and here some of 
 the important industries of Watertown had birth, notably the Taggart 
 Brothers' paper-bag factory, the Davis Sewing Machine Co., and the Eames 
 Vacuum Brake Co., who still occupy the shops. He died suddenly, of paralysis, 
 September 6, 1863. He married Lucy Morgan, and had seven children. 
 
 In 1874 Fred W. Eames came into Watertown with the nucleus of his in- 
 vention of the vacuum brake. He made some experiments on the R., W. & O. 
 Railroad, and in 1876 organized the Eames Vacuum Brake Co., with a capi- 
 tal of $500,000, which was all paid for his patents of 1874 and 1875. The 
 officers were Fred W. Eames, president ; Judge F. W. Hubbard, vice-presi- 
 dent ; F. W. Spicer, secretary ; S. T. Wool worth, treasurer. 
 
776 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 In 1876 E. D. Eames, his brother, came here from Michigan, and went to 
 Perm, S. A., with a brake equipment for the Ayora Railroad, over the Andes, 
 which attains an altitude of nearly three miles. The brake worked very suc- 
 cessfully there, and Mr. Eames brought back the first money ever received for 
 the Eames brake. Meantime F. W. Eames had made a display at the Ex- 
 position at Philadelphia, which resulted in a number of orders from home 
 and abroad. A shop for the manufacture of the brakes was started on Bee- 
 bee's Island, and other patents obtained on improvements by both Fred W. 
 and E. D. Eames. A long and expensive litigation with the Westinghouse 
 Brake Co. resulted ultimately in victory for the infant company, and the 
 business increased rapidly. The elevated roads in New York were all fitted 
 with the Eames brakes, and they were sent to Australia, Cuba, South and 
 Central America, Sweden, Russia, and England. 
 
 In 1878 F. W. Eames went to England to introduce his brake there 
 and in France, and while he was away complication arose here which resulted 
 in the entire business and franchises of the company being sold to New York 
 men. Mr. Eames, who was president and principal stockholder in the com- 
 pany, immediately returned from England and began a suit for recovery of 
 his property, and at the earliest moment replaced the old directors by new 
 ones, and elected the following officers: F. W. Eames.president ; E. D. Eames, 
 vice-president; H. C. Townly, secretary and treasurer. The suit resulted 
 in his favor, but on taking possession of the shops he was shot and killed 
 April 20, 1883. The management of the company then fell upon E. D. 
 Eames, president ; A. D. Remington, vice-president ; and H. C. Townly, 
 secretary and treasurer. George A. Bagley was also a director. The 
 company continued to prosper under this administration until, in October, 
 1884, Mrs. F. W. Eames sold the controlling interest in the stock to Boston 
 parties, who reorganized the company, elected an entire new board of 
 directors, and moved the office to Boston, and increased the board of directors 
 from five to 15. The present officers are J. C. Thompson, president, Boston; 
 R. C. Vilas, vice-president. New York ; G. B. Massey, treasurer, Watertown. 
 They have added to the buildings and machinery, and are employing about 
 75 men. 
 
 Ktwwlton Brothers, paper manufacturers. — The business now conducted 
 by this firm had its inception in 1808, when a paper mill was built by Gurdon, 
 Caswell & Co., which firm was succeeded by Holbrook & Fessenden in 
 r8i6. In 1824 Knowlton & Rice became the owners of the plant, enlarged 
 the works, and in 1832 introduced the first machinery for making paper in 
 Jefferson County. This firm was composed of George W. Knowlton and 
 Clarke Rice. They were also largely interested in real estate and in water- 
 power privileges, and for a long time were engaged in publishing school 
 books and common school libraries, conducting in connection a book store. 
 These branches were continued until 1854, since which period the manufact- 
 ure of paper has been the exclusive business of the firm and their succes- 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. -j-j-j 
 
 ■sors. Mr. Rice retained an interest in the business till 1856. In 1861 Mr. 
 Knowlton disposed of his interest to his sons, George W. and John C, and 
 tte firm of Knowlton Brothers was thus established. This firm has in- 
 creased the business twelvefold, and their trade extends throughout the 
 United States. They manufacture exclusively colored cover paper, employ- 
 ing about 50 hands, and their product is about 9,000 pounds daily. Their 
 mills are furnished with the latest improved machinery, and are located at 
 14-16 Mill street, upon a portion of which ground the origmal mill was 
 erected in 1808. The plant covers an area of about two acres, three build- 
 ings, and several minor conveniencies. The main building is 130x60 feet, 
 and is three stories high besides basement and attic. Connected with it by 
 abridge is a wooden structure of three floors, 50x100 feet in dimensions. 
 On the other side of Mill street, opposite the main building, the firm owns a 
 pulp-mill, 40x90 feet in area and five stories in height, which is also joined by 
 abridge to the rest of the plant. The mills were formerly occupied in manu- 
 facturing writing paper exclusively, and later in the production of book and 
 •colored papers, but at the present time only colored and tinted papers are 
 made at this establishment. 
 
 John C. Knowlton was born in Watertown in 1837, and has been a resident of Jefferson 
 ■County since his birth, and prominent in business and manufacturing circles. His father, 
 'George W. Knowlton, was a native of Yermout, and his mother, Elizabeth (Carroll) Knowl- 
 ton, a native of Boston. The former died in Watertown in 1886, aged 91 years, after a life of 
 active business enterprises, during which period he maintained a reputation of the highest 
 <haraeter as an unsullied, honorable business man. The mother still survives. John C. 
 Knowlton, since 1861, has devoted his attention to the interest of the firm, of which he is a 
 member. He has been a director of the Jefferson County Bank since 1877, and is president 
 of the Steam Engine Co. For nearly a score of years he has been one of the water commis- 
 Bioners of Watertown, and is now president of the board. George Willard Knowlton is also a 
 native of Watertown, born in 1839, and educated in the schools of his native city. He is 
 thoroughly conversant with the manufacture of paper, having commenced to master the 
 details at the age of 16, and has devoted his business life to the advancement of this impor- 
 tant industry. He is president of the Ontario Paper Company, and of the Watertown Na- 
 tional Bank; progressive in all of his ideas, and ranks as one of the leaders of the business 
 men of Jefferson County. 
 
 Watertown Steam Engine Co. — The inception of this business dates back 
 to the year 1850, at which period the enterprise was known as Hoard & 
 Bradford. In i860 the firm title became Hoard & Son. In 1866 the Port- 
 able Steam Engine Manufacturing Co. was organized, and finally, in 1872, 
 the Watertown Steam Engine Co. was constituted. The capital stock of the 
 ■company is $200,000. The plant, which has recently been built, is one of 
 the most extensive of its character in the United States, and is located on 
 Main street. From 15010 175 men are employed in the manufacture of 
 stationary and portable steam engines, boilers, steam pumps, circular saw- 
 mills, etc. The officers of the company are John C. Knowlton, president ; 
 G. C. Sherman, vice-president ; and S. F. Bagg, secretary and treasurer. In 
 connection with this sketch we append the following sketch relative to the 
 otigin of the portable steam engine, by Hon. Moses Fames: — 
 
778 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 "In 1848 I resided in Rutland, where I was engaged in manufacturing 
 cheese. It was in my cheese work, in which I had been experimenting with 
 steam, that I got the idea of a portable steam engine. The experiments in 
 the use of steam in the manufacture of cheese were begun by me as early as 
 1842. The work for making the apparatus necessary for experiments had 
 been done for me at George Goulding's machine shop. The method of 
 heating milk for cheesemaking was then very crude. The milk was turned 
 into a kettle, heated over a 6re, and then poured into the milk vats, thus 
 heating the milk. The kettle, which was used as the boiler, was covered at 
 first with wood. This, as well as the under vat, had to be caulked all around 
 to prevent the steam from escaping. There was no safety valve to let the 
 steam out. The packing blew out at one time, and filled the entire room' 
 with steam. The cover of the kettle was blown off, and when I entered, a 
 few minutes afterwards, there was not a spot in that room but what was wet. 
 If I had been there at the time the accident occurred I would certainly have 
 been scalded. But I still had to work it as it was till the season was over. 
 I put on two or three props to make the cover to the kettle fast. At the 
 close of the season I brought the kettle to Goulding and had him put on an 
 iron cover with a safety valve. I also manufactured the same thing for Dr. 
 Munson and William Howell,of Tylerville. In the State Agricultural Society's 
 report for 1851 you will see a diagram of all the cheese works. They gave 
 me a premium of $25 for the best plans. That led me to think of getting 
 steam works for power. I came down to Goulding's shop, where Gilbert 
 Bradford was foreman, — that, I think, was when Hoard was county clerk, — and 
 urged him to get me up a steam-power to use in sawing wood, etc., instead 
 of horse-power. Goulding said: ' Don't you do anything of that kind. You 
 will kill every farmer there is around here !' He would not take any interest 
 in it. Bradford got to work in the course of that year — 1848 — so that in the 
 fall he showed me a power something like a drum heater on wheels, that had 
 a pully on it, and could run a small lathe, being about one and one-half 
 horse-power. You could put it up in the corner of the room. The same 
 thing was afterwards brought to the building back of the jail, and was used 
 to drive a lathe. That was as near as I ever came to the steam-power, and 
 it was really the origin to the portable steam engine. About that time Hoard 
 came in with Bradford for the express purpose of starting the portable steam 
 engine works, and located a shop. 
 
 " Twenty years after, or in 1867, I think, the first patent was taken out, by a 
 man in Syracuse, for heating milk by the process which was originated by 
 myself. That patent was transferred to another party, who went about the 
 state collecting a royalty from dairymen using the process. The dairymen 
 from Oneida County were hunting up testimony to go against the patent, and 
 desired to show that the process was in use previous to the patent being 
 issued. I wrote to the association in Utica and received no answer. I then 
 wrote Burrell, of Little Falls, a great cheeee buyer. Burrell corresponded 
 
CITY OF WATERTOWN. 779 
 
 with me and wanted me to make a diagram of the fixtures I had for heating. 
 I did so. The result was that the man in Syracuse did not push the thing 
 any further. He was going to push the matter of the payment of a royalty 
 throughout the state, but I proved that I had used the patent about 1 7 years 
 previous to his securing it." 
 
 Gilderoy Lord, who for half a century has been prominently identified with the manufact- 
 uring adTancement of Jefferson County, was born in Brownville in 1816. His father, Will- 
 iam Lord, was a native of Windsor, Tt., and his mother, whose maiden name was Charlotte 
 Thomas, was a native of EUisburgh, Jefferson County. 
 
 William Lord was a farmer, and prior to the War of 1812 came to Jefferson County. He 
 taught school one year, and then started the manufacture of wagons and fanning-mills at 
 Brownville. He subsequently added a pocket furnace and manufactured different kinds of 
 agricultural implements. His first partner was Alanson Skinner, an influential and prominent 
 business man. Mr. Lord continued in business there until 1855, when he retired, leaving his 
 business to his sons. He resided in Brownville until his death, which occurred in 1874. He 
 was colonel of the first rifle regiment formed in the county, one of the first directors of the 
 Borne & Watertown Bailroad, and a man of marked business abilities. Seven children attained 
 maturity; Gilderoy; Newton B., of New York; Mrs. Parmela Bosworth, of Watertown; Mrs. 
 Fayetta Morrison, of Chicago; William, who died in Aurora, 111.; and Nathan, who died in 
 Brownville. Hiram and Elisha were drowned at Brownville. Gilderoy Lord was reared and 
 educated in the county schools, and passed one year at the Lowville Academy. He had pre- 
 viously served a two years' apprenticeship in his father's shop, learning the trade of molder. 
 Upon leaving school his father admitted him as a partner, and the firm of William Lord & 
 Son was established. This association continued until 1854, when Gilderoy withdrew from 
 the fli'm and came to Watertown, and, in 1855, with his uncle, Judah Lord, and his brother-in- 
 law, P. H. Gregory, formed a copartnership under the firm name of J. & G. Lord & Co., lo- 
 cating their works upon Beebee's Island. They there commenced the manufacturing of plows, 
 mowing machines, and general agricultural implements, becoming the successors of four dif- 
 ferent plow firms. In 1865 Mr. Gregory died, and his interest was purchased by Mr. Lord. 
 rive years subsequently he bought out his uncle's interest, and has since conducted his busi- 
 ness operations alone. In 1869 his property was damaged to the extent of $25,000 by the great 
 flood of 1869, all of which was a total loss to him. Mr. Lord has improved and enlarged his 
 works from time to time, and is now doing a large business in general foundry and machine 
 shop work, employing about 20 men. He has also been prominent in banking circles, and 
 was one of the organizers of the National Union Bank, and served that institution as director, 
 vice-president, and president until January, 1889, when he resigned. Mr. Lord has never had 
 political aspirations, but was elected the second mayor of Watertown upon a union ticket. 
 Conservative in business, and generous in all good works, he is a noble type among the suc- 
 cessful business men of Jefferson County. Mr. Lord married Miss Mucina Hoyt, daughter of 
 Luther G. Hoyt, an old resident merchant and justice of the peace, of Watertown. Two chil- 
 dren have been born to them. 
 
 Ml/ &= /ess. — This well known firm is composed of John Nill and Henry 
 Jess. Mr. Nill is a native of Germany and came to America in 1853. He 
 located in Utica, where he learned the confectioners' trade, remaining in that 
 city seven years. In i86o became to Watertown and was employed for 
 three years by J. S. Cadwell. He then began business for himself, opening 
 up a confectionery and ice cream saloon, soon after admitting as a partner 
 Mr. Jess. From a small beginning, in 1863, they have established one of the 
 most coirtplete establishments in the state. Their business place is located at 
 9 Court and 10 Arsenal streets, and their factory at Factory Square. This 
 business embraces that of manufacturing crackers and other bake stuffs, and 
 confectionery, cigars, and carbonated waters. They have an extensive retail 
 
780 CITY OF WATERTOWN. 
 
 trade in the city, and a traveling salesman is employed in extending their 
 wholesale trade over Northern New York. They commenced the manufact- 
 uring of cigars in 1867, and have now in their employ about 20 men in this 
 department, making only the better grades of goods. Their factory, on Fac- 
 tory Square, has recently been enlarged, and is fitted with all the modem 
 machinery and improvements. Mr. Nill was elected mayor of the city in 
 1889. He has also served his ward six years as supervisor. 
 
 Henry Jess, also a native of Germany, has been a resident of America 
 since 1853. He is a cabinetmaker by trade, and came to Watertown from 
 Utica. Since the formation of the firm Mr. Jess has devoted his attention 
 to the financial and business supervision of the establishment, and in this 
 most important position has contributed largely to the phenomenal success 
 that has attended this deserving enterprise. 
 
 The Davis Sewing Machine Cotnpany, organized in 1872, was for many 
 years one of the most important industries in Watertown, and one of the 
 largest manufactories of sewing machines in the world, about 500 workmen 
 being employed. This immense industry was recently removed to Dayton, 
 Ohio. 
 
 Taggart Bros. Co. — The firm of West, Palmer & Taggarts was organized 
 in 1866, by George West, of Saratoga, Lewis Palmer, of Evans Mills, and 
 Byron B. and William W. Taggart. This copartnership continued one 
 year, when Mr. West bought Palmer's interest, and the firm of West & Tag- 
 garts was established. In 187 1 the Taggart Brothers purchased the interest 
 of Mr. West and took in Orrin R. Davis, forming the firm of Taggarts & 
 Davis. This firm continued until the death of Mr. Davis, his estate retain- 
 ing an interest in the concern until 1881, when Taggart Bros, became sole 
 proprietors. The firm of Taggart Bros, continued until 1887, when a stock 
 company was formed under the title Taggart Bros. Co., Harry W. Taggart 
 and George C. Sherman becoming members of the company. The present 
 officers are B. B. Taggart, president ; W. W. Taggart, vice-president ; H. W. 
 Taggart, treasurer ; and George C. Sherman, secretary. The capital stock 
 and surplus of the corporation is now $202,000. l^s^ : 
 
 The plant is extensive and covers about two acres. The main building is 
 four stories high, 200x80 feet in dimensions, attached to which is a wing 
 having two floors, and 75x50 feet in area. This structure was erected by 
 W. H. Angel in 1844, and was first used as a flouring-raill and distillery. 
 Afterwards it was utihzed as a cotton and woolen-mill. To the left of the 
 main building is a pulp-mill 46x30 feet, and a storehouse on the right is 
 120x30 feet in extent. Eighteen water-wheels are used to drive the 
 machinery, their united horse-power capacity being 1,500. The daily capac- 
 ity of the mills is six tons of print and manilla paper, and three tons of wood 
 pulp, the various departments affording employment for about 50 workmen. 
 The firm of Taggart Bros. Co. also manufactures about 5,000,000 flour 
 -sacks annually.

 HON. BYRON BENJAMIN TAGGART.* 
 
 The subject of this brief biographical sketch was born in the town of 
 LeRay, Jefferson County, N. Y., on the 28th of April, 1831. The Taggart 
 family from whom he descended ranks among the old settlers of this section 
 of the state. His father, Henry Taggart, was born in Le Ray, and his 
 mother, Julia Deighton, in Pamelia. They lived and died in their native 
 county, and the old homestead is still owned by their descendants. His 
 great-grandfather, Joseph Taggart, resided in Newport, R. I., where he 
 carried on a shipping trade, frequently crossing to Europe in sailing vessels 
 in the line of his business. He emigrated to the United States from the 
 Isle of Man. His immediate family consisted of six brothers and two sis- 
 ters, viz.: Dempster, who died in childhood, Joseph B., William W., Watson 
 Henry, Dempster D. (named after his deceased brother), and the sisters, 
 Mary and Orea. Of the brothers, Watson H. died in Terra Haute, Ind., 
 in 1853, and Dempster D. in Watertown, in October, 1889. The sister 
 Mary died in 187 1. With the single exception of the eldest child the whole 
 family grew up to manhood and womanhood, and married. Theirs was a 
 family possessing unusual force of character, and if their individual history 
 could be fully written out it would furnish a valuable picture of the trials, 
 successes, and perseverance of a large family of children born in humble life, 
 and who largely had to make their own way in the world. 
 
 The products of a farm in this region 50 years ago were barely sufficient 
 to provide for the necessities of a large family of children, and to do this 
 even called for a self sacrificing toil on the part of parents and elder children, 
 at once noble and beautiful. That the members of this family came of good 
 and thrifty stock is abundantly proved by the useful and successful career of 
 each. In the battle of life they all won honorable positions in the circle in 
 which their lot was cast. 
 
 Byron B. worked on the home farm until he was 18 years of age — working 
 summers and latterly teaching school during the winter term. The experi- 
 ences gained while " boarding round," and in the management of country 
 schools, gave him an excellent insight into character, which greatly aided 
 him in later years. He attended the State Normal School at Albany for one 
 year, and afterwards went West, where he spent three years. In the spring 
 of 1856 he returned to his native county, and, on the 28th day of May of 
 that year, he married Miss Frances L. Brown, of Watertown, daughter of 
 Jabez and Lefa Brown. This choice of a wife proved a very happy one, 
 and two daughters and a son blessed the union. Mrs. Taggart has been a 
 loving wife and devoted mother, arvd still lives to grace and bless a home 
 lier presence and help have done so much to brighten and secure. 
 
 The patriotic fervor of the period of the great Rebellion in 1861 found 
 full recognition in the heart of Mr. Taggart. In 1862, after the conflict had

 deepened into a gigantic civil war, he raised a company of volunteers for the 
 Toth N. Y. Artillery, and was commissioned a captain in the zgth, in No- 
 vember, 1862. He had command of Fort Ricketts, comprising a part of the 
 important defences of Washington, where he remained up to November 23, 
 1863, when family responsibiUties and ill health led him to resign his com- 
 mission. He was a capable and efficient officer, and merited and received 
 the full confidence of his men and of his superior officers. The service he 
 rendered in the army made a heavy dram upon his health, and ever since he 
 has at times been a great sufferer from disabilities contracted while in the 
 line of duty On the r4th of May, 1878, Gov. Robinson appointed him a trustee 
 for the "completion, management, and control of the Soldiers Home" at Bath, 
 N. Y., and he was reappointed to this trust by Gnv. Cornell on the 4th of May, 
 1881. In 1879 he was elected mayor of Watertown, and reelected in the 
 following year. His administration of the affairs of the city was marked by 
 a careful discharge of the delicate and somewhat onerous duties pertaining to 
 the trying position. He brought a business man's experience to the service 
 of the city, and left the position with an excellent lecord. 
 
 He was one of the originators and is president of the "Taggart Bros. 
 Company," of Watertown, and the " Taggart Paper Company," of Felt's 
 Mills. He is vice-president and one of the promoters of the " Watertown 
 thermometer works," a company providing employment to between 40 and 
 50 workers. He was also one of the organizers of the " Watertown National 
 Bank," and is a director in this institution. He is a stockholder in the " Wa- 
 tertown Spring Wagon Company " and in the " Watertown Carriage and 
 Gear Compiny." He is president of the " Central Park Association," which 
 occupies one of the finest sites on the St. Lawrence River, and he is vice- 
 president of the "Alexandria Steamboat Company." He is also interested 
 in the Hotel Eastman, at Hot Springs, Ark., built to accommodate 850 
 guests. This record of industrial interests which his enterprise and means 
 have helped to develop will amply prove that he is a citizen who fully meets 
 the be=t requirements for the development of ways and means for furnishing 
 employment to the people, and adding to that circulation that creates wealth 
 in his own home section of the state. As a business man Mr. Taggart is well 
 and widely known, and respected for his sterling integrity, thrift, enterprise 
 and public spirit. His career has been a successful one, — both in the days 
 of war and in times of peace, — and he is yet in the prime of life. 
 
 As a type of a farmer's son, winning his own way to a position of great in- 
 fluence and usefulness among the business men of his day, and acquiring a 
 competency through his own efforts, besides commanding the confidence of 
 both political parties, — as his official trusts continued through two adminis- 
 trations abundantly prove, — he is one of our self-made men, worthy as few 
 are, and whose achievements are a valuable part of the history of our country. 
 His life is proof of how grandly the American volunteer — transformed into 
 an American business man — adapted himself to every duty, and so stands 
 forth as one of the best products pf our cosmopolitan civilization.

 Wateriown Thermometer Company (successors to the Oswego Thermom- 
 eter Company) was incorporated in 1886, with a capital stock of $30,000, the 
 first officers being I. P. Powers, president; W. W. Taggart, vice president ; 
 0. W. Wilmot, secretary and treasurer. The company's plant is embraced 
 in a four-story brick structure, 50 by 80 'feet in dimensions, located at 24 
 Newell street. The machinery is operated by a water privilege of about 40 
 horse-power, and employment is furnished to 50 skilled workmen in the man- 
 ufacture of all kinds of thermometers and barometers. The present officers 
 of the company are I. P. Powers, president ; B. B. Taggart, vice-president ; 
 W. J. Shepard, secretary and treasurer. 
 
 Watertown Paper Company was organized in 1867. The mills have a 
 capacity for the production of about three tons of news paper and two tons 
 of wood pulp daily, giving employment to about 40 workmen. The plant is- 
 located on Sewall's Island, the main building being of brick, two stories high,. 
 52 by 108 feet. Attached to this is a wing, of wood, 25 by 80 feet. A pulp- 
 mill and stock houses are adjacent. The present officers of the company are

 The Remington Paper Co. was established in 1854, by I. Remington & 
 Sons, the present company, however, being incorporated in 1865. The Rem- 
 ington Paper Co. operates one of the most complete papermaking plants in 
 the United States. There are two paper-mills and three pulp-mills in Water- 
 town belonging to the concern, all of which are located along the banks of 
 the Black River, but are separate some little distance each from another. 
 They are very extensive, are built of brick, and vary from one to three floors 
 in height. Some of these mills have been recently erected to meet the 
 demands of the constantly increasing manufacturing operations. The rail- 
 road track is contiguous to all of them, and furnishes unrivalled shipping 
 facilities. Altogether the conveniences here available are such as exercise a 
 marked influence in decreasing the cost of operations. The mechanical 
 equipment of the plant is fully equal to that of any paper manufacturing 
 establishment on the continent, and the capacity of the mills -allow of the 
 production of about 30 tons of news paper and 25 tons of wood pulp daily. 
 About 150 men are employed in the various departments of the works, and 
 the motive force for operating the machinery of the five mills is supplied from 
 the Black River, and combined is of about 3,500 horse-power capacity. In 
 addition to the mills in this city the company owns and operates another 
 paper-mill in Cahfornia, which turns out from three to four tons daily. The 
 news paper manufactured by the company is largely in demand throughout the 
 United States, and is supplied to some of the largest newspaper publishers in,

 tion of water works, gas works, sewerage, electric light plants, railroads, etc., 
 commenced business in 1882, and in a short time took front rank among 
 similar undertakings throughout the country. The firm has, during the 
 space of its eight years of existence, met with almost phenomenal success, 
 and often employs thousands of workmen at one time at various points in the 
 United States. It has constructed, and now owns and operates, water works 
 in the following places : Watertown, Greenbush, West Troy, White Plains, 
 Green Island, Adams, Bath-on-the-Hudson, Fulton, Oswego Falls, Newark, 
 Homer, Cortland, Canandaigua, and Waterford, in New York state ; Newark,

 and sewerage in over 150 cities, towns, and villages on this continent This 
 firm also owns and operates combined arc and incandescent electric light 
 plants in Kankakee, 111., and Rochester, Minn., and has a number of others 
 under construction. Moffett, Hodgkins & Clarke recently removed their 
 main offices to Syracuse, locating in the new Everson building. 
 
 Farwell &= Rhiiies, proprietors of Crescent Hungarian roller flouring- 
 mills, became owners of this important industry in 1878, and they also lease 
 the Kimball mill. The Crescent mills are comprised in a three-story brick 
 building, 50 by 65 feet in dimensions, with warehouses, storehouses, and office 
 adjoining. The equipment embraces 10 sets of rolls and two runs of stones, 
 and a full complement of improved roller process machinery, the capacity 
 being about 100 barrels per day. The flour is made by the latest improved, 
 gradual reduction, Hungarian roller process, a system which of late years has 
 completely revolutionized the whole art of miUing. The firm makes a spe- 
 cialty of " Health Flour," " Gluten Flour," " Diabetic Food," "Barley Crys- 
 tals," and " Pearl Barley," — all patent or trade mark brands. The products 
 of these mills are shipped to all parts of the United States and Canada, and 
 to several countries of the Old World. 
 
 Union flouring-mills, located on the corner of Mill and River streets, 
 were built in 1835, by Moulton & Sheldon. They were originally supplied 
 with six runs of stones, but are now furnished with the modern roller process, 
 with the capacity for grinding 150 barrels per day. In 1869 I. h. Graves 
 purchased a one-half interest in the concern, and since that time the firm title 
 has been I. A. Graves & Co.

TOWN OF WILNA. 817 
 
 "W^ILNA. 
 
 W 
 
 fILNA was erected from Le Ray and Leyden (Lewis County), April 
 2, 1813, by an act which altered the Hne of the two counties, and 
 annexed a part of Lewis to Jefferson. It is an irregularly outlined 
 town, and is situated upon Black River, in the extreme eastern pirt of the 
 county, containing an area of 37,768^ acres. The surface of the town is 
 broken, and is chiefly underlaid by the prinnary rock, which rises into low, 
 naked ridges, and by calciferous sandstone. It is bounded on the northwest 
 by Le Ray and Philadelphia^ on the northeast by Antwerp and a part of Lewis 
 County, the latter also forming its eastern, southeastern, and southern bound- 
 aries, and on the southwest by Champion, from which it is separated by Black 
 River. Upon Black River are a series of rapids, forming an abundance of 
 water power at several places. Indian River, in the western and north- 
 ern parts of the town, also furnishes several good mill seats. Black Creek and 
 its tributaries extend through the town in a general northwesterly direction. 
 Upon the south branch are one or two mill seats. The soil is a light, sandy 
 loam, and is moderately fertile. A large portion of the town is still unculti- 
 vated, and is covered with forest trees indigenous to this locality. 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the house of Thomas Brayton, Jr., and 
 the first town officers elected were Thomas Brayton, supervisor ; Elihu Stew- 
 aft, clerk ; John B. Bossuot, .Caleb Fulton, and Enoch Griffin, assessors ; 
 Robert C. Hastings, collector; Henry Lewis and Alfred Freeman, overseers 
 • of the poor; Henry Lewis, Freedom Gates, and Thomas Brayton, commis- 
 sioners of highways. 
 
 In 1880 Wilna had a population of 4,393. The town is located in the 
 second school district of Jefferson County, and in 1888 had 20 school dis- 
 tricts, of which four were joint, in which 28 teachers were employed 28 weeks 
 or more. There were 888 scholars attending school, and the aggregate days 
 attendance during the year was 82,561. The total value of school buildings 
 and sites was $34,400, while the assessed valuation of all the districts was 
 $1,208,312. The whole amount raised for school purposes was $12,441.36, 
 $8,654.27 of which was received by local tax. Truman C. Gray was school 
 commissioner. 
 
 CARTHAGE. 
 
 (BY LEONARD G. PECK.) 
 
 Carthage is without doubt the leading village in size and importance in 
 the county at the present time. The Black River, after having afforded 42 
 
 52* 
 
8l8 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 miles of navigable waters, here expands into a broad and noble stream. A 
 fine bridge, 500 feet in length, erected by the state, spans the river at this 
 point and unites the two towns, Wilna and Champion, also bringing the sister 
 villages, Carthage and West Carthage, into intimate and friendly connection. 
 The R., W. & O. Railroad bridge crosses the river in a diagonal direction at 
 a short distance above. Both these structures are built of iron and present 
 a fine appearance. 
 
 The village is situated on the east side, at the head of Long Falls, a 
 lengthy series of rapids which in early times gave name to the place until 
 changed to its present designation. The location is pleasant and healthy. 
 Natural drainage is afforded over a large portion of the place, and the soil is 
 quite free from malarial exhalations. 
 
 Just at the beginning of the falls the state dam has been placed across the 
 stream and reaches from shore to shore, a distance of 500 feet. The falls 
 •descend 55 feet in a distance of 5,090 from their head, the river's entire fall 
 from here until it reaches the lake being 480 feet. The channel in the 
 vicinity of the falls is studded with islands, about 50 in number, presenting 
 in the summer time a very picturesque and pleasant appearance. The 
 hydraulic power afforded by means of the splendid dam (mentioned above) 
 is enormous, and the regular descent of the river bed renders these facilities 
 continuous for a long distance on either side. The state bridge was built in 
 1854, and the dam was completed in 1855. 
 
 The scenery, as viewed from different parts of the village, affords a pleas- 
 ing sight, especially during the season when the foliage is green and nature 
 has donned her summer garb. The hills on the western side of the river rise 
 one above the other, and offer to the view a rich panorama of pleasant homes, 
 broad acres of waving grain, and groves of stately trees. There are many 
 pleasant drives and walks in and around the village, and the lover of nature- 
 need not fail here of fulfillment of the promise, very much less than in many 
 more widely advertised and more pretentious places, that " he who seeks 
 shall find." 
 
 Carthage village was incorporated May 26, 1841. The charter provides 
 for the election of five trustees, one of whom is styled the president, which 
 officer is voted for separately. The village also has a police justice, elected 
 by the people, a chief of police and assistants appointed by the board of trus- 
 tees, a corporation assessor and street commissioner, who also hold their 
 offices under the same tenure. A fire company was organized in July, 1841, 
 consisting of 20 members, and another in 1842, under the title of the Wash- 
 ington Fire Company. A hand engine was purchased, of rather insign fi- 
 cant appearance, but containing very powerful cylinders, capable of throw- 
 ing at any time more water than could be furnished by the regulation apparatus 
 of pails and buckets "passed in line." This engine, with a few feet of hose, 
 comprised the entire machinery for putting out fires up to the time that the 
 present fine apparatus, consisting of a No. 3 Silsby steamer, two hose carts, 
 
TOWN OF WILNA. 819 
 
 and 1,000 feet of hose, were bought from the manufacturers at Seneca Falls, 
 N. Y. A system of reservoirs, situated at regular intervals in different parts 
 of the village, supply water when too far for access to the river. Strong 
 efforts have been and are at present being made towards a system of water 
 works, and also for a proper sewerage ; but owing to alleged technicalities 
 nothing has yet been accomplished. A special election was held and a vote 
 of the taxpayers taken Tuesday, September lo, 1889, which resulted in a 
 majority for the measure. There is little doubt but that some system of 
 abundant water supply for the whole village is a matter sure of accomplish- 
 ment in the near future. 
 
 The present organization of the fire department consists of Steamer Com- 
 pany No. I, 20 men; Tiger Hose, 20 men; Rescue Hose No. 2, 20 men. 
 The companies are uniformed, and are a fine appearing body of men. The 
 department also maintains a full band, which gives open air concerts in the 
 village on pleasant Saturday evenings during the warmer months. 
 
 Consistently with her claim to the possession of a progressive spirit, Car- 
 thage was among the foremost villages in this section of the state to abandon 
 " ways of darkness '' and declare in favor of lighted streets. In common 
 with the general custom (at the time considered well regulated) this was 
 accomplished by the use of oil lamps set upon posts at proper distances apart. 
 The advent of electricity has relegated kerosene to private uses, and the 
 streets of the village are now made brilliant by the subtle fluid, as are also 
 many stores, hotels, and numerous private dwellings. The lights are furnished 
 by the American Illuminating Company. 
 
 EARLY SETTLERS. 
 
 There are two names which are invariably to be found m every sketch of 
 the village of Carthage, having any pretentions whatever to a historical char- 
 acter. The first is Henry Boutin; the second, Jean BaptisteBossuot. Bou- 
 tin was the first settler. He purchased of Rodolph Tillier, agent of a French 
 company, 1,000 acres of land situated on the east side of the river, and on 
 Ihe site of the present village. He made a considerable clearing, and then, 
 according to one account, in about two years from the time of his location 
 here, started for France to settle his affairs there, with the intention of re- 
 turning and making his home at Long Falls. The account then states that 
 the vessel on which he took passage was lost at sea, and he never returned. 
 The other account, given by Dr. F. B. Hough, in his History of Jefferson 
 County (p. 299), states that he was drowned below the village a few years 
 after his first settlement here. Which is the true account we may not avouch ; 
 we may, however, reasonably and confidently settle upon one theory, namely, 
 he was drowned. 
 
 After the death of Boutin the title of the land passed to Vincent Le Ray, he 
 having purchased the property at auction sale of James Le Ray, who was 
 
820 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 appointed administrator of the estate July 17, 18 15. The original titles to all 
 the lands in Carthage have therefore been derived from Mr. Le Ray. Upon 
 the establishment of a postoffice the name of the place was changed from 
 Long Falls to that by which it has ever since been designated — Carthage. 
 The mails up to this time had been carried by post riders. 
 
 After the departure of Boutin, Jean Baptiste Bossuot (famiUarly known as 
 Battice), a native of Noyes, France, who had come to America with Baron 
 Steuben, remained for many years the only settler at Long Falls. Bossuot 
 kept a ferry and inn for travelers. The ferry was kept up until a bridge was 
 built. The claim has been made that Bossuot also opened the first store in 
 the place. He might have kept a few supplies for hunters, etc., but the first 
 actual store was undoubtedly opened by Claudius Quilliard, on the site now- 
 occupied by the R., W. & O. Railroad station. Bossuot died in Champion, 
 July 26, 1874, at the advanced age of 93 years. A eulogy was pronounced 
 at his grave by Hon. D. W. C. West, commemorative of the life and virtues 
 of the old pioneer. Mr. Bossuot was the father of five sons — -Louis, August, 
 Peter (who was drowned), John B., and George ; also a daughter who died 
 young. The writer has often, when a boy, been in the home of the genial 
 old gentleman, which is still standing at the corner of Canal and Dock streets, 
 and remembers him well. He was at that time past active participation in 
 business affairs. In stature he was of medium height, and very erect, ex- 
 tremely polite in manners, and withal grown very deaf. Numerous anecdotes 
 have passed current at different times, some of them finding their way into 
 print, illustrative of the old gentleman's peculiarities. He was not, however, 
 so extraordinarily eccentric as those highly colored reminiscences would make 
 him appear. His name will ever remain historic in matters pertaining to 
 the early settlemeit of Carthage. 
 
 Within 10 years from the first improvement of the town settlements had 
 begun along the main road north, and inns had been opened by Alfred Free- 
 man, at the " Chickered House," and Henry Lewis, nine miles from the river. 
 Few farms were located before the war. The first bridge across the river at 
 Carthage (Long Falls) was erected in 1812 and maintained until 1829. The 
 toll-gate was kept from 18 17 until 1827 by Seth Hooker. Mr. Hooker was 
 also postmaster; the revenues of the postoffice amounting, during the first 
 few years, to $17 annually, but gradually increased, until in 1840, when Mr. 
 Hooker resigned the office, being succeeded by William Blodget, they had 
 become as high as $300. Since 1829 no tolls have been taken for crossing 
 the bridge at this point. 
 
 In June, 1804, Cadwallader Child, who, for many years, acted as surveyor 
 for Mr. Le Ray, and who was also a partner in extensive purchases of lands 
 in the town of Philadelphia, started with a party, consisting of four assistants, 
 and striking the St. Lawrence River they examined the shore and selected 
 the site of the present village of Alexandria Bay. On their return they located 
 what has since been known as the Alexandria road. A road was also con- 
 
TOWN OF WILNA. 82 I 
 
 tinued to the Black River at the great bend. The State road to the Oswe- 
 gatchie, opened in 1802-06, afforded the principal avenue to St. Lawrence 
 County, and made Long Falls a point of much importance, as through it 
 must pass all the travel to the central and southern parts of the state. The 
 St. Lawrence turnpike, built in 1812-13, added another avenue to the north- 
 em settlements. This led to the erection of the bridge across the river, 
 superseding the ferry, of which mention has already been made. 
 
 There can be no question but that the iron business, together with the sev- 
 eral branches of industry which it fostered, led to the first real growth of the 
 village. The vicinity of an early settled district on the opposite side of the river, 
 together with the advantages afforded by a valuable water-power, also helped 
 greatly; but that which engendered the highest hopes, and called wide atten- 
 tion to this point, was the prospective advantages promised by the Black 
 River Canal. Of this last we have treated sufficiently in the article devoted 
 to the C, L. & N. Y. Line. 
 
 About 183s Mr. Le Ray established his land office in Carthage, adding 
 new importance to the place. A steady, assured growth had now obtained, 
 and we can, perhaps, give the reader no better idea of the village as it was 
 in a few years succeeding, than to lay before him a short synopsis of an arti- 
 cle published in the Carthagenian, entitled "Our Village," dated December 
 19, 1839. After having given a description of the geographical position 
 of the village, plainly showing its eligible and central position, and 
 dwelling, with clearness and force, upon the advantages directly possessed in 
 the water-power ; giving due prominence to the enormous importance at- 
 tached to the construction of the Black River Canal, and further demonstrat- 
 ing that the iron interests were surely destined to make Carthage the great 
 mart for this industry in the Black River country, and dwelling upon other 
 points of commercial importance, the writer, in proof that the pretensions of 
 the place were not without foundation, gives the following enumeration of 
 the buildings in the village : 80 dwelling houses of wood, stone, and brick; 
 eight stores well filled with different kinds of merchandise, comprised within 
 a spacious three-story brick block 100 by 40 feet; five framed stores, also 
 wellfiUed with merchandise ; three taverns, two groceries, two large and ele- 
 gant churches, one oil-mill, one flax-mill, two blast furnaces, warehouses, etc.; 
 one stone school-house, one frame school-house, two blacksmith shops, one 
 stone nail factory and rolling-mill, one large stone machine shop, one large 
 stone axe factory, one large stone tannery, one large stone flouring-mill, three 
 saw-mills, three cabinet and chair shops, two land offices, two physicians and 
 apothecary shops, two lawyers' offices, one cupola furnace, two forges, two 
 carpenter shops, etc. A pretty fair showing for the village as it stood a little 
 more than half a century ago. The channels through which future growth 
 and prosperity were to come have not been strictly followed, to be sure, but 
 we know that every reason existed then for a strong belief in an early con- 
 summation of these hopes and expectations. But the machinations of poli- 
 
82 2 TOWN OF WII.NA. 
 
 ticians brought about the " stop policy." Enough has been said elsewhere 
 about the effects of this paralyzing stroke to the hopes of all those interested 
 in a speedy completion of the Black River Canal to make any repetition here 
 unnecessary. 
 
 The present population of the village is variously estimated at from 2,500 
 to 3,000, and on both sides of the river, including East and West Carthage, 
 at about 4,000. No definite knowledge will be had upon the subject, prob- 
 ably, until the forthcoming census has been taken. There were 800 school 
 children enrolled as living in this district at the last annual report (1889). 
 Following the estimate usually made upon this basis would give Carthage a 
 population of about 3,400. 
 
 Before entering upon an enumeration of the industries at present located 
 in the village, we will devote some space to an equally important subject, 
 namely : 
 
 THE SCHOOLS. 
 
 Carthage takes a just pride in her educational facilities. There are two 
 large and flourishing institutions for the promulgation of learning, one under 
 charge of St. James's (Catholic) Church, and the other the public Union Free 
 School. The St. James School buildmg is a fine, large, two-story brick 
 structure, situated on the corner of West and Mechanic streets. The con- 
 ductors report an attendance of 225 students. 
 
 The official order which changed the title of the old district to that of 
 " Union Free School, District No. i, Wilna," was made by Joseph Bearaan, 
 school commissioner, August 15, 1886. The school is organized under the 
 general law, is thoroughly graded, and has an academic department under 
 the visitation of the Regents of the University. The board of education 
 consists of five members,, composed at the present time as follows : John L. 
 Norton, president; Leonard G. Peck, clerk; Allen E. Kilby, S. S. Hoyt, 
 George Kapfer. The board employs nine teachers. The present principal 
 (who has served for the last six years) is George F. Sawyer, A. M.; Miss C. E. 
 Benton, preceptress. The school is divided into four departments, — High 
 school, senior, junior, and primary, — and has the zealous support of its pat- 
 rons and the community generally. The attendance of non-resident pupils 
 is such as speaks strongly in evidence of its popularity; and as it has in the 
 past, so also does it at the present time, easily take rank with the best pub- 
 lic institutions of the kind in the county. 
 
 The school building is a brick structure, entirely new, with slate roof and 
 metal cornice, two stories high, with a massive, splendid basement, in which 
 are placed the six large furnaces connected with the celebrated Ruttan- 
 Smead system of warming and ventilation and their unsurpassed dry-closet 
 apparatus. The building is large, and is provided with very wide, high, and 
 airy halls, in which is placed the grand central stairway, which, with the three

 wide main entrances, make danger from any sudden emergency an impossi- 
 bility. The rooms are also large, high, perfectly ventilated, and supplied 
 with furniture of the most approved patterns. The location is healthy, 
 and commands a view of most beautiful scenery. Educated experts from 
 many parts pronounce the building unsurpassed for the purpose in any part 
 of Northern New York. The building, with its furnishing, was completed 
 at a cost of aboiit $29,000. 
 
 The school is well supplied with maps, charts^ globes, etc., for the several 
 grades. The library, containing many valuable works, was almost all saved 
 from the tire, and is always accessible to the pupils. Many additions to it 
 have recently been made, and will continue to be from time to time, as 
 money may be secured for the purpose, special care being taken to select 
 such books as will be most serviceable to the pupils and teachers in their 
 daily work. The chemical laboratory has been fitted up with work desks 
 where each pupil will perform his own experiments, and thus more fully 
 learn by actual contact and manipulation what has before been only seen at 
 at a distance. It is possible by this means to give the pupils an intimate 
 and practical acquaintance With the principles of chemistry that underlie so 
 many of the industries of life. In physics the same plan will be followed as 
 far as practicable. The apparatus has been selected with particular refer- 
 ence to our wants, and is sufficient to illustrate the subject as taught by the 
 most recent and approved methods in the best High schools. Cases have 
 been prepared for minerals and fossils, good typical collections of which, it 
 is hoped, will soon be secured. A beginning in this direction has already 
 been made. 
 
 BANKS, ETC. 
 
 The first bank established in this village was the Bank of Carthage, which 
 was opened July 17, 1852, with a capital of $18,600. It was a private bank, 
 and was owned by Hiram McCoUom. 
 
 Tlie First National Bank of Carthage was organized January i, 1880, with 
 a capital of $50,000. It now has a capital of $100,000 and a surplus of 
 $20,000, and has paid regular dividends. In 1886 the directors of the bank 
 purchased a lot, corner of State and Mechanic streets, where they erected and 
 now occupy one of the finest and most complete banking buildings in North- 
 ern New York, with all the modern improvements, including a fine vault and 
 one of the strongest and best made burglar- proof safes, with time lock, etc. 
 The present officers are E. H. Myers, president ; A. E. Kilby, vice-president ; 
 A. G. Peck, cashier. 
 
 The Carthage National Bank was organized March 30, 1887, and com- 
 menced' business May 2, of that year, with a capital stock of $50,000. It 
 is located in the Walsh building, on State street. The present officers are 
 G. B. Johnson, president ; James Pringle, vice-president ; M. S. Wilder, 
 cashier.

 The Carthage Savings Bank is located in the First National Bank build- 
 ing, corner of State and Mechanic streets. Its officers are L. J. Goodale, pres- 
 ident; J. L. Norton, Alson Cook, vice-presidents ; Allen G. Peck, treasurer ; 
 A. A. Collins, secretary. 
 
 The Carthage Perhianent Savings, Loan, and Building Association was 
 organized December 3, 1888, and incorporated January -j, 1889. The pres- 
 ent officers are H. M. Mosher, president; John C. Reed, vice-president; 
 H. B. Edmonds, secretary ; Mark S. Wilder, treasurer. 
 
 The Carthage Agricultural Society held its first fair' in the fall of 1875. 
 The society's grounds contain about 40 acres, and one of the best half-mile 
 tracks in the county. A large grand stand and other needed buildings have 
 been erected, and fairs are held annually with good success. 
 
 INDUSTRIES. 
 
 Tannery Island. — Perhaps no spot within the limits of the village has been 
 the scene of more active operations, and which, beginning at a very early 
 period, have been fraught with more importance to the interests of the place, 
 than this. In 1830 Walter Nimocks and Allen Peck, the first a shoemaker 
 and the latter a shoemaker and tanner and currier, built a tannery on this 
 island. The building, which was of stone, with some additions remains to the 
 present day just as then first constructed. A part of the lower end was built 
 by Calvin Auburn for a work shop, in which he did various kinds of work, 
 such as wooding plows, making wagons, etc., etc. 
 
 About 1 83 1 James P. Hodgkins and Mr. Auburn had built a small foundry 
 on State street, near the rear end of the lot upon which the Miller block now 
 stands. The machiney for producing the blast to this foundry was operated 
 by horse-power, and as may well be supposed nothing but very light castings 
 could be made. This firm soon began to look about for a more efficient 
 mode of conducting business, and in about a year (probably in 1832, for it 
 could not have been much later) they changed their location to Tannery 
 Island and erected a foundry a short distance below the tannery, but draw- 
 ing water from the same flume. Between this foundry and Auburn's part of 
 the tannery building Samuel J. Davis had a small shop, in which he made 
 axes and other edge tools. 
 
 Hodgkins & Auburn purchased of Le Ray the site upon which their 
 foundry was built, and the first payment of $1,000 was made and endorsed 
 on the contract for the lot and water-power upon their erecting for Le Ray 
 the historic institution now remembered by few, but which served a most 
 important lole in the affairs of that and subsequent days— the old octagon 
 stone school-house. The first cash payment ($50) endorsed on the mortgage 
 was dated April 6, 1833. After carrying on the industry about a year they 
 sold the property to Joseph Crowner, who greatly enlarged the business, 
 manufacturing all kinds of mill machinery, sleigh shoes, etc., and also com- 
 
TOWN OF WILNA. 825 
 
 ■menced the manufacture of plows. In this latter branch of the business he 
 -was for a time connected in partnership with Walter Nimocks. The plows 
 were of the Jethro Wood pattern, and were made under the patents of that 
 grant. They were considered strictly first-class, and long held supremacy in 
 the march of improvements connected with this useful implement. Crowner 
 •subsequently bought out Davis and carried on active business until 1851, 
 when he was obliged to retire through physical disability. 
 
 A foundry and machine shop was erected near the same site in 1849, by 
 William Hodgkins, who continued in business for two or three years, and 
 then, with his family, removed to the state of Minnesota, where he became a 
 ■successful and wealthy farmer. 
 
 It may be well to anticipate and say here that, on the purchase of the island 
 by H. Dickerman, these enterprises all ceased, or had ceased, to exist, and 
 the tannery became the all embracing concern. But to resume the thread 
 of operations, and trace the vicissitudes and consequent changes in owner- 
 ship in the history of the tannery, we will return to the inception of the enter- 
 iprise — the work done by Nimocks & Peck. 
 
 Before building on Tannery Island, Mr. Peck had a small concern on the 
 bank of the river, in the vicinity of the toll-gate, in which the grinding of the 
 bark, etc., was done by horse-power. Nimocks & Peck continued in partner- 
 ship five years. They then sold to Ellis & Farrington. Auburn, who owned 
 the lower part, sold to a firm named Dunlap & Barney. In 1841 Olin Hol- 
 ■comb, of Champion, purchased the interest of Ellis & Farrington, he being 
 already in possession of the lower part of the tannery, through the failure of 
 Dunlap & Barney. A partnership was soon after formed, and business car- 
 Tied on under the title of Holcomb & Spencer. They built a dwelling house, 
 stocked a store with general merchandise, carried on the ashery business also, 
 and occupied a very prominent place in the material interests of the village 
 until 1844, when disaster overtook their enterprises, and the whole came to 
 an abrupt stop. Dr. Spencer, the father of one of the partners, bought the 
 property at sheriff's sale, and disposed of it to Whitney, Mix & DarHng. This 
 firm made considerable improvement, put in new vats, repaired the machinery, 
 and enlarged the business to much greater proportions than had ever been 
 known previously. They also had a store on Main street, and, in so far as 
 the writer has knowledge of their affairs, did a prosperous business. But the 
 man who was to overshadow them all, and who was destined to dwarf into 
 insignificance all former enterprises on the island with the magnitude and 
 ■extent of his operations, and who was to be the first to elevate this important 
 industry into a great and expansive business, had not as yet appeared, but was 
 nevertheless to come. 
 
 On A|igust 2, 1854, the tannery property passed into the hands of Heze- 
 kiah Dickerman, of Blenheim, N. Y., his son RoUin acting as his superin- 
 tendent or foreman. Mr. Dickerman removed here #ith his family May 29, 
 iS62. The life and character of Major Dickerman (the title by which he was 
 
826 
 
 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 generally known) deserves more than a passing notice at this time, not only 
 on account of the exceedingly important and prominent part which his busi- 
 ness operations held in the material interests and prosperity of the village 
 during the nearly 20 years which they were carried on, but also for his per- 
 sonal worth as an upright man, whose life was filled with usefulness — charit- 
 able even to generosity, and whose honor was without stain. Major Dicker- 
 man was born in Hamden, Conn., in 1801. At the age of 14 he was bound 
 out to Ezra Pratt, of Lexington, Greene County, N. Y., to learn the tanners' 
 trade. His capital upon starting out for himself, after attaining his majority, 
 consisted of five dollars in money. After working for a year and a half on a 
 farm an offer was made to him and Col. Zidoc Pratt, by Gideon Lee, of New 
 York, to build a tannery m Prattsville, N. Y., for which Lee would furnish 
 the money. The offer was accepted, and the tannery was built and run for 
 four years successfully, fie then sold his interest there to Col. J. Watson, and 
 engaged in manufacturing and farming in that place. Three years later, in 
 connection with Archie Grossman, he built a tannery in Gilboa, Schoharie 
 County. This was run about five years, Mr. Dickerman continuing the farm 
 and mill during the meantime. About 1840 he sold his interest in the Gilboa 
 tannery and went to Blenheim, and in company with Henry Sanford built a 
 tannery that for those days was very large. In 1846 he bought Sanford's 
 interest, and the same year removed from Prattsville, which had during alL 
 this time continued to be his place of residence, to North Blenheim. At this 
 time he sold the mill at Prattsville, and took stock (about one-third of the 
 whole amount) in the Prattsville Woolen Manufacturing Company. June 
 15, 1861, the tannery burned, and in May of the following year, as previously 
 stated, he moved with his family to Carthage, where he resided until his- 
 death, March 4, 1873. 
 
 In April, 186 1, a terrible disaster overtook the business on Tannery Island,, 
 caused by the memorable flood and high water in the river, augmented by 
 the breaking away of the great reservoir in the canal reservation at the 
 head of the river. This flood did great damage at and near Watertown, and 
 will long be remembered by many who suffered from its destructive power. 
 The damage to stock and property on the island amounted to $50,000. From 
 this severe blow Mr. Dickerman never recovered. 
 
 About this time, and continuing for a series of years, great depression ex- 
 isted in the tanning business, and indeed in business of all kinds throughout 
 the country. This, coupled with the overwhelming loss from the flood, had' 
 a serious effect upon the resources of Mr. Dickerman ; but he continued in 
 business until his death. Work did not stop, however, until May, 1876, 
 when the tannery was idle until September or October, when John F. McCoy, 
 of New York, came into possession, and, taking up his residence here, he, 
 with Rollin Dickerman as superintendent and foreman, conducted the busi- 
 ness until May i, 1880, when he sold out to RoUm Dickerman and John C. 
 Reed. Mr. Reed came here from Syracuse. They began business June i. 
 
TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 827 
 
 1880, and continued until July, 1888. The tannery is now owned by John 
 C. Reed, and is carried on by Thomas Ruell, of West Carthage, who leases 
 the plant and is engaged in the manufacture of upper leather, which he sends 
 to market in what is termed " the rough." 
 
 The tannery business has also been carried on extensively within the cor- 
 poration by Simuel Branaugh, who came here in June, 1870, and, pur- 
 chasing the privilege and buildings near the brickyard, rebuilt and greatly en- 
 larged them, and has continued the manufacture of sole leather up to the 
 present time. Mr. Branaugh's operations have been very large and impor- 
 tant. He also conducts a large tannery in Belfast, Lewis County, but is now 
 about closing out his business here, bark having become too scarce and dear 
 to make a continuation profitable at this point. 
 
 Guyot Island. — Bazille Guyot, from whom this island takes its name, came 
 to this town from Troy, France, in 1816, a year long remembered on account 
 of the unprecedentedly cold summer which attended that period. No corn 
 was raised that year, and snow fell to the depth of a foot in the month of 
 June. Mr. Guyot and Louis Bryant built the machinery, bellows, etc., for 
 the forge erected that year, in what would now be nearly the center of the 
 mill stream, just about opposite the Illuminating Company's building. (This 
 may be explained by the fact that the old dam was differently situated from 
 its present location.) Guyot also built a saw-mill for James Le Ray, on the 
 island, near the present grist-mill. Having bought the island he built the 
 grist-mill in 1833. He married Mary La Rue, who came to this country 
 from Brest when 10 years of age. Mr. Guyot died in Carthage in May, 1865, 
 aged 79 years. The property remains in the possession of his sons, J. Victor 
 and Frederick. 
 
 The nail works, spoken of in another place, built in 1828, were located on 
 this island. This spot has been the scene of active operations since the very 
 beginning of settlement of the village. Forge, rolling-mill, nail works, 
 grist-mill, axe factory, carding-mill, broom handle factory, furniture factory, 
 custom and repair shops for machinery, turning, and in fact almost every 
 branch of manufacturing industry known to the history of the place have 
 been carried on here. Connected with the island, although not situated ex- 
 actly upon it, stands the historic site of the old " blast furnace." The 
 building of the forges and nail works, and subsequent erection of the furnace, 
 were beyond doubt the operating causes of the first settlement and early 
 growth of the village. The forge erected above the furnace site was burnt 
 the same year in which it was built, and soon thereafter James Barney, 
 Francis Lloyd, and Nathan Brown, from Fort Ann, N. Y., leased for ro years 
 the water-power, with privileges of ore, coal, etc., and erected a forge in the lower 
 part of the village, the principal business of which was making mill irons and 
 anchors. The site of this forge is the one which afterwards became conspicu- 
 ous as the theater of extensive operations in the business career of Hiram 
 
.■828 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 McCollom. On the death of Mr. Barney the property reverted to Mr. 
 Le Ray. 
 
 In 18 19 the furnace was built by Mr. Le Ray and got into operation in 
 the fall of 1820. A refining forge, with two additional fires, was also built, the 
 whole being under the supervision of Claudius S. Quilliard. The house in 
 which Mr. Quilliard lived occupied the site now covered by the tracks of the 
 railroad in the immediated vicinity of the station. It was a fine dwelling, 
 with a broad piazza in front, and, as was customary in those days, contained 
 the large chimney, with ample open fire-places, now seldom if ever seen, but 
 always spoken of in sketches of the olden times. The furnace was run for a, 
 time by Le Ray and then passed into the control of Joseph C. Budd and 
 William Bones. Budd & Bones made pig-iron, and also had a molding 
 Hoor, where they made various kinds of castings, such as potash kettles, stoves, 
 etc. They also conducted a store, which was situated on the site of the 
 present village hall and engine-house, and was familiarly known throughout 
 the vicinity as the " Company Store." The proprietors kept a general stock, 
 comprising almost everything which could possibly be needed by the people 
 in their employ. 
 
 The furnace and the old " Company Store " with its surroundings are 
 among the most vivid of the remembrances of the writer's boyhood days. 
 The one or the other must needs be passed on the way to the " old academy " 
 school, and the attractions of each made getting by an equally difficult mat- 
 ter, unless, perchance, one took it into his mischievous pate to " sass " some 
 one of the burly Celts who labored around the furnace yard, when all such 
 attractions would be held as naught, and an exit from the environment would 
 be made with "neatness and dispatch." 
 
 Budd & Bones carried on the business until 1846, when operations ceased 
 and the furnace was allowed to fall into decay. It remained in this condi- 
 tion until 1863, when Cole & Allen, who came from Pennsylvania, took pos- 
 session, rebuilt it pretty much throughout, and finally got it in operation in 
 1865. The works again remained idle from May, 1866, up to 1870, 
 when they were purchased by the Carthage Iron Company, a stock company 
 with a capital of $60,000. The company consisted of R. N. Gere, of Syra- 
 cuse, president; L. H. Mills, of West Carthage, vice-president; and Charles 
 T. Bissell, of Rome, secretary. This company rebuilt the works on a scale 
 immensely larger than was ever before even dreamed of by the most sanguine 
 operator. They not only entered into large contracts with the owners of 
 timbered lands for charcoal, but purchased lands and timber and manufact- 
 ured the fuel on their own account. Where in olden times the ore had been 
 hauled slowly and laboriously to the works it was delivered to them on their 
 own side-track in front of the furnace, on cars which were subject to their 
 control. A store was opened on the premises and run in connection with 
 the business by Mr. Mills. Numerous men with teams were employed around 
 the works in the various labors belonging to the carrying on of the works,

 and many families drew their support from the employment given by means 
 of the enterprise. 
 
 Owing to some defect in the manner of raising in height and repairing the 
 stack, or perhaps by reason of the enormous weight of the oven for heating 
 the air blast which stood on the top, or probably from both causes, one side 
 of the stack suddenly gave way and fell in ruins to the bottom, but most for- 
 tunately without causing any loss of life, or even injury to the workmen.. 
 The business up to this time had been one of great activity and profit to the 
 manufacturers. To repair this accident and again get into active operation 
 necessarily took some time, during which the price of iron of all kinds, espe- 
 cially pig-iron, fell to a much lower figure. This state of things continued' 
 after the works were again started, until finally it became impossible to realize 
 a profit commensurate with the outlay. 
 
 The quality of iron made was very fine and was largely used in the manu- 
 facture of car wheels, and also for malleable iron products and every kind of 
 machinery castings. The ore used was mostly from the Shurtleff bed in the 
 town of Philadelphia, although other ores were used in connection to some 
 extent. 
 
 The business was continued by the company with varying fortune, until 
 the manufacture of iron from the ore ceased, in all probability so far as Car- 
 thage is concerned, for ever. It is, we think, safe to say that no person will 
 ever see the manufacture of charcoal iron again carried on in Carthage. 
 The buildings were unoccupied for a time, until a part of the plant was 
 utilized by Mr. Mills for a saw-mill. The conflagration of 1884 swept all 
 away, and an old land-mark, around which cluster many associations and 
 memories of the native Carthageni*n, passed away forever.* 
 
 Furnace Island. — The first inception of opening up of business upon this- 
 little spot grew out of one of the numerous necessities of that indefatigable- 
 man who, in his day, might well be styled the Napoleon of Carthage. When 
 Hiram McCollom began to build his rolling-mill and nail works in 1845, and the 
 draughts for the necessary machinery were being made, it became apparent that 
 no foundry at that time in operation in Carthage was of sufficient capacity to- 
 produce the immensely heavy castings which would be required for the works. 
 He therefore entered into an agreement with James P. Hodgkins, who im- 
 mediately went to work, and the same year, 1845, erected a foundry on what 
 has since been known as Furnace Island. The main purpose for which this- 
 foundry was built was to mold and cast this machinery. Some of these cast- 
 ings were immensely heavy, weighing tons. The fly-wheel was a huge affair, 
 put together in segments, and contained an enormous amount of iron. Mr. 
 Hodgkins carried on the business until 1852. For about eight months Seth 
 R. King was a partner in the concern. Mr. King was the mechanical en- 
 
 *Mr. Mills rebuilt the saw mill and carried on an extensive business in the manufact- 
 ure of lumber until his death, December 25, 1889. 
 
830 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 gineer of the nail works and rolling-mill. In 1849 or 1850 Ezra Hodg- 
 kins became a partner, and in 1852 the connection of James P. Hodgkins 
 with the foundry ceased, and the firm became Hodgkins & Fuller. About a 
 year after this partnership was formed Levi Wood bought Fuller out, and the 
 firm became Hodgkins & Wood. This partnership lasted about two years. 
 They put in a lathe and planer, and thus inaugurated that part which has 
 since grown to such large proportions — the machine shop. The island and 
 all its belongings were now purchased by George M. and Alexander Brown, 
 who conducted the business until i860, when the firm changed its name to 
 that of Brown, Winch & Bliss, William Winch and Jacob A. Bliss corning 
 from Watertown and taking up their residence here. Mr. Winch sold his in- 
 terest to the remaining partners and returned to Watertown in 1865, where 
 he died a few years later. He was an expert founder, and an upright and 
 respected citizen. 
 
 Upon the formation of the firm of Brown, Winch & Bliss the business 
 became more extensive than ever before. Mr. Winch had charge of the foun- 
 dry, while Mr. Bhss, who was an experienced machinist, assumed the man- 
 agement of tliat part of the business. G. M. Brown managed the finan- 
 ces of the concern. Mr. Brown was an exemplary man, and won and retained 
 the highest regard of those with whom he was most intimately associated. 
 He died in February, 1868. Mr. Bliss then sold his interest to Mrs. Alex- 
 ander Brown. In 1868 C. P. Ryther bought a half interest, and the firm 
 continued with the name of Brown & Ryther until 187 1, when James Prin- 
 gle became associated with Mr. Ryther, under the firm name of Ryther & 
 Pringle, who are the present owners and managers of this large and prosper- 
 ous business. On the destruction of the shops and foundry in October, 1884, 
 they rebuilt the works on a much, larger scale and with greatly improved fa- 
 cilities, putting in a large amount of the best machinery, sparing no expense 
 necessary to make the plant what it now is — one of the largest and best con- 
 ducted works in Northern New York. The Ryther Manufacturing Company 
 also carry on their business here. The machine shop is two stories high, and 
 covers an area 140 by 50 feet. The foundry is 40 by 80 feet, and the black- 
 smith shop 40 by 44 feet. The firm employs from 20 to 30 men. 
 
 The remaining industries on this (the east) side of the river are at present 
 as follows : — 
 
 The Carthage Company, organized in April, 1883, purchased about 50 
 acres of land and a valuable water-power a short distance above Branaugh's 
 tannery, and erected extensive works for the manufacture of wood pulp and 
 heavy board. These works have been lying idle for some time, owing, it is 
 said, to litigation. They were recently sold at auction to Harvey B. Rich, 
 of New York city, for $5,000. The power is an excellent one, and the com- 
 pany has expended a large amount of money upon the plant, first and last. 
 
 The Empire Steam Pump Company, next above, manufactures a pump for 
 either hot or cold water, invented by E. G. Shortt. Mr. Shortt is a resident of

 Carthage, and served his apprenticeship at the machinist trade with Brown 
 & Bliss. His most recent invention is a high-speed, duplex steam engine, 
 which, in its construction and manner of working, especially the novel way 
 in which an instant reversal, while running at extremely high speed, is ac- 
 complished, no eccentrics or complicated affairs of any kind being attached, 
 is the admiration of all who see it. The engme wins the highest praise from 
 experienced engineers in the navy department, and elsewhere, and is rapidly 
 coming into use for the propulsion of dynamos, screw wheel boats, etc., and 
 for many other purposes for which it is peculiarly adapted. 
 
 Spicer &= Sons' pulp-mill occvi^xei the site upon which McCoUom's cotton 
 factory stood. The firm began operations here in the summer of 1889, and 
 expended a considerable sum in repairs to the dam, in building flumes, and 
 clearing the channel. The improvements are of a substantial nature, and 
 the business is a valuable addition to the manufacturing interests of the place. 
 About five men are employed, and two and a half tons of pulp are manufact- 
 ured daily. 
 
 P. L. 6" C. E. Eaton bought the business of William P. Hull, at West 
 Carthage, in 1882, and continued it until 1884, when they were burned out. 
 They immediately rebuilt their factory and continued there until December, 
 1888, when they removed to a factory on the Carthage side of the river, 
 which they Tiad con tructed. The building occupies the site once covered 
 by C. W. Manning's planing- mill. It is two stories high, and covers an area 
 40 by 91 feet. The firm manufactures sash, doors, and blinds, and does a large 
 contract business in house furnishings, cornice, brackets, etc. They employ 
 from 10 to 15 workmen. 
 
 M. J. Garvin's roller-mill, used principally for feed and custom grinding, 
 in connection with his fiourand feed store on State, street, is located next 
 adjoining Eaton's factory. 
 
 L. H. Mills's saw-mill, on Guyot Island, was built by Mr. Mills (whose 
 decease has occurred since these articles were begun). The mill has been 
 leased and is nov? carried on by Augustus Kesler. 
 
 Brace 6^ Balcom's veneering mill is situated between Guyot 's grist-mill 
 and Mills's saw-mill. The firm manufactures cherry, maple, birch, and ash 
 veneers, and piano sounding-board lumber. They also deal in hard wood 
 lumber of various kinds. The products of this mill find market principally 
 in Boston and New York. About 10 skilled workmen are employed. 
 
 /. V. Guyot' s grist-mill now occupies the site of the old grist and saw- 
 mill erected in 1815. Adjoining is the planing-mill and custom shop of Fred 
 Guyot, while overhead is the wool-carding establishment of Miner Guyot. 
 The stone shops and factories enumerated in the article in the Carthegenian, 
 of December, 1839, — the nail factory and rolling-mill, axe factory and 
 machine'shop, — which stood on this little island, have long since vanished. 
 The site of the nail factory and rolling-mill is now occupied by Smith & 
 
832 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 O'Keefe's factory and the works of the Illuminating Company. This latter 
 company was organized in 1887. 
 
 Smith &" O' Kee/e' s furniture manufactory was started in 1887 by the pres- 
 ent proprietors. They manufacture chairs of superior finish, principally up- 
 holstered, and also do a large business in the manufacture of school and office- 
 desks, bank, church, and hall furniture. About 10 men are employed, the- 
 manufactured product amounting to about $25,000 annually. 
 
 C. H. Wing &> Son, machinists, are located on River street, just above- 
 the railroad bridge, do general work, and employ from three to five men. 
 The works were established in 1888; both the proprietors are experienced! 
 workmen, and do an increasing business. The machinery is run by steam- 
 power. 
 
 The Carthage marble works, organized in the spring of 1854, by G. G. & 
 H. J. Kellogg, are at present carried on by F. A. Hewitt. First-class monu- 
 mental work is done. 
 
 The Carthage Lumber and Woodefi Ware Co. {Limited) was incorporated' 
 in April, 1889 ; capital stock $30,000. The works are located upon the site- 
 of the storehouse formerly occupied by the C, L. & N. Y. Line. The main 
 building is three stories high, and the plant has 4,000 feet of floor space. 
 The company manufactures hard wood flooring, ceilings, moldings, and wain- 
 scoting, and all kinds of hard wood interior finish, clothes pins, chair stock, etc.. 
 The works are operated by steam-power, the plant for this purpose consist- 
 ing of a very fine high speed engine of 160 horse-power, and two steel boilers- 
 of 100 horse-power each. Adjoining and belonging to the works is a first- 
 class circular saw-mill. About 50 men are employed and 2,500,000 feet of 
 lumber is used per annum. 
 
 There was a time when carriage and wagonmaking was a flourishing and 
 profitable industry in the village. It has here, as well as elsewhere, suffered 
 comparative extinction through the changes wrought in the business by the- 
 large wholesale factories. Manly Loomis and Charles Gregory each con- 
 tinued business at their old stands, making mostly " lumber work,'' and doing 
 repairing, horseshoeing, etc. James H. Davis, John McGowan, and Isaac 
 Trombly each carry on horseshoeing and general custom shops. 
 
 Carthage boasts a goodly number of skilled workmen in the different 
 branches of the building trade. The introduction of machinery has rendered 
 the old-fashioned carpenter shops obsolete. In this respect they have fol- 
 lowed the fate of the carriage shop ; but as the art of erecting buildings 
 entirely by machinery has not yet been perfected, the work of the carpenter^ 
 mason, bricklayer, and painter is occasionally in demand. 
 
 C E. Dodge s glove and mitten factory was started in Carthage in 1889. 
 About three workmen are employed. 
 
 There are five tin shops in the village, generally carried on in connection 
 with other business; in fact wholly so with the exception of that of H. H, 
 Frink. The names of those thus engaged are J. Rogers & Co. and J. K.

 Strickland, both extensive dealers in hardware, stoves, etc.; F. D. Hubbard, 
 a practical tinner, who also deals in hardware, stoves, etc.; and L. Vinier, 
 who also deals largely in stoves. 
 
 HOTELS. 
 
 The traveler will find no village in Northern New York better supplied 
 with hotel facilities than Carthage. There are at present on the east side of 
 the river at this point six of these places for the accommodation of the public. 
 On State street are the Elmhirst, Mrs. S. E. Hatch, proprietress; Levis 
 House, J. C. Carney, proprietor; Hatch House, Mrs. J. H. Murray, proprie- 
 tress. On School and Mechanic streets is the Gill House,Robert Gill.manager, 
 On Alexandria and Francis streets is the Brunswick, Patrick H. Brown, 
 proprietor. And on Church street is the Dougherty House, lately under the 
 management of C. W, Hall. It would be invidious to draw comparisons 
 between these places, as all are well kept and of good repute. Heman Grin- 
 nell keeps a first-class restaurant on State street, where a limited number of 
 guests are also accommodated. 
 
 In addition to the manufacturing industries, etc., enumerated in the fore- 
 going, this thriving village contains five churches (Methodist, Baptist, Pres- 
 byterian, Episcopal, and Catholic), two weekly newspapers, a new and com- 
 modious opera house, two banks, nine general stores, three variety stores, 
 eight groceries, four clothing stores, one merchant tailor, three boot and shoe 
 stores, two harness shops, four hardware stores, two furniture stores, two un- 
 dertaking establishments, five meat markets, two photograph and art galleries, 
 five barber shops, four drug stores, three liquor stores, two furniture stores, 
 two flour and feed stores, four watch and jewelry shops, two insurance offices, 
 two livery stables, two bakeries, and a dealer in tobacco and cigars. 
 
 FIRES. 
 
 Although fires have probably been of no more frequent occurrence in this 
 than in villages generally throughout the country, the ravages of this destruc- 
 tive element have, in one memorable instance, attained proportions that to 
 the sufferers were appalling, and which, in extent and the amount of destruc- 
 tion to homes and property involved, would be difficult to parallel in the his- 
 tory of any place of similar size anywhere. 
 
 The first notable incident of this character occurring in the annals of the 
 village took place July 15, i86r. The alarm was given about i o'clock in 
 the morning, and it was found that the fire was in the store occupied by 
 J. T. Walsh, on State street, between Brown's Hotel and the Baptist Church. 
 The flames soon extended to the hotel, and in spite of all efforts the church 
 also was soon enveloped. The fire had now attained such headway that it was 
 
 eyond the control of the very limited means at hand, and by sunrise the 
 
834 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 greater part of the business portion of the village was in ashes. About 20 
 buildings were burned in all, including four dwellings, two hotels, nine occu- 
 pied stores, and the fine large church owned and occupied by the Baptists. 
 The fire extended from Dr. West's store (now H. Grinnell's Hotel and res- 
 taurant), on the southeast side, to Hooker & Gallagher's block, and from 
 O. Leary's block to Mechanic street, on the opposite side. The loss, including 
 buildings, damage to goods, etc., was estimated at more than $60,000, with 
 an amount of insurance which would reduce it to about $34 000. It was 
 considered at the time as a most crushing blow, but, as often happens in such 
 cases, turned out in the end to be an actual benefit to the place. The old 
 wooden structures were replaced by neat and durable brick blocks, the street 
 was widened (an improvement which was greatly needed), the unwise pol- 
 icy of erecting wooden buildings for business purposes upon our principal 
 thoroughfare was fully demonstrated, and the better condition of things in- 
 augura;ted at that time has continued fairly to the present day. Without 
 doubt the most severe loss which the village has sustained in the burning of 
 any single structure was that of the cotton factory erected by Hiram McCol- 
 lora in 1849-50. This extensive and valuable building was utterly destroyed 
 on the night of January 6, 1856. It had been recently fitted up with ma- 
 chinery and stock for the manufacture of cotton goods, and was in active 
 operation. The loss was entire, and that which bid fair to become a very 
 important industry m this locality was thus brought to a stop, which has so 
 far been permanent. 
 
 The next fire of importance following that of July 15, 1861, occurring (the 
 writer thinks) sometime in the fall succeeding (the ex^ct date we have not 
 been able to ascertain), took place in the immediate vicinity of the state 
 bridge, and consumed two dwelling houses, one of them familiarly known 
 as the " Rice House," standing directly on the river bank ; also the old store 
 of Hiram McCoUom, on the corner of Main and River streets, and the three, 
 story building erected by Reuben Rice, also on River street, in the upper 
 story of which the Masonic lodge was situated, the lower stories being occu- 
 pied by Mr. Rice as a dwelling and grocery store. 
 
 In May, 1872, a fire broke out in, and destroyed, a building known as 
 "Beers Hotel," situated on the northwest side of State street, some dis- 
 tance below the Levis House. T. S. Roberts's store, Abel Nutting's shoe 
 shop, L. Guyot's harness shop, Hopkins & Roberts's store, D. D. Whittaker's 
 block, a meat market with dwelling overhead, Hubbard's tin shop, and a 
 blacksmith shop, occupied by R. Commins, were also destroyed. The 
 cause of this fire must, in all probability, ever remain a mystery, although the 
 view is strongly held by some of those suffering' loss thereby that it was of 
 incendiary origin. 
 
 On Saturday night, December 12, 1874, a fire broke out in the large livery 
 barn of Volney Warren, on Canal street, just in the rear of McCoUom's 
 block, which was attended with most distressing consequences. The rear 
 
TOWN OF WILNA. 835 
 
 ■end of the second story was occupied by the family as a dwelling. Among 
 those who were sleeping when the alarm was gived was Volney's father, Levi 
 Warren. Whether he was at any time conscious of his danger cannot be 
 certainly known. His charred remains were found in the morning, under 
 conditions that led to the supposition that he was not. Although somewhat 
 advanced in years he was still active and useful. He was a man respected 
 and esteemed in the community, and his sad end caused a general feeling of 
 sympathy throughout the village. Volney Warren was terribly burned at the 
 same time, and had an extremely narrow escape from the fate which over- 
 took his unfortunate father. 
 
 We are obliged from lack of space to omit relation of numerous instances 
 which, at the time, were severe misfortunes to occupants and owners, and 
 will now enter upon an account, which mustof necessity be brief, of the most 
 ■stupendous event of the kind that has ever befell any village of its size, and 
 which, by comparison, dwarfs into insignificance all preceding visitations of 
 a like nature in the history of the place. Nothing more than a general ac- 
 count can be here attempted, as the particulars, if all given, would more than 
 fill the entire space allotted for the sketch of the' village. 
 
 The morning of October 20, 1884, was bright and pleasant, a rather brisk 
 wind blowing from the southwest, which, as the forenoon advanced, in- • 
 creased in force. Almost directly across the river from the Union Free 
 School building, perhaps a little to the west and about one-third of a mile 
 away, in West Carthage, a row of manufacturing establishments then stood 
 ■(and now stand, having been rebuilt), deriving their power from a long flume 
 extending from the state dam. At 11: ro a. m. an alarm of fire proceeded 
 from one of these' buildings, which proved to be the sash and blind factory of 
 P. L. & C. E. Eaton. The building burned rapidly, and the tub factory next 
 ■north, owned by Harvey Farrer, was soon in flames. Meyer, Ross & Go's 
 furniture factory came next in order, after which the fire was confined in the 
 large pile of hemlock bark owned by Revell tannery. Not dreaming of dan- 
 ger to the village on the east side from this source, the Carthage fire depart- 
 ment had turned out at the first alarm and gone over to the assistance of 
 their western neighbors. It was not long, however, before they were called 
 back^in a much greater hurry than when they first set out across the water. 
 The wind had increased in force, and was now blowing strongly. Rains had 
 not been of frequent occurrence ; the ground was thickly strewn with leaves; 
 and it would seem, everything considered, as if a more favorable condition of 
 things for the spread of a great conflagration could hardly be found, and so 
 it proved. The river is broad at the spot where the fire first occurred in 
 West Carthage, and much broken up as it runs down its rocky channel; but 
 as if directed by some malign power, a storm of fire from the burned and 
 burning buildings swept across the chasm, springing at once into vigorous 
 action, wherever finding lodgment in the fated territory on the eastern side. 
 
836 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 It soon came to pass that to assist one's friend or neighbor might not be 
 done, none having house or home but was summoned to defend his own. 
 
 There has been some controversy as to where the first lodgment of the 
 iiames and destruction of buildings took place on the east or Carthage side. 
 The account given by the reporter of the Watertown Times places it at 
 Guyot and Furnace islands, which were then covered with mills and manu- 
 factories, together with vast quantities of lumber and other inflammable ma- 
 terials. These were all swept away as clean as if they had never had exist- 
 ence, but the fact is, as the writer saw it, the fire did not start at any one 
 place, but at many places, and those both near and wide apart. 
 
 The single steamer and fire department of the village were now powerless 
 to stay the hurricane of flames, and word was telegraphed to Watertown for 
 help. A few minutes after i p. m. Chief Cole arrived on a special train with, 
 30 trained men in charge of steamer No. 2, and with t,ooo feet of hose. 
 They had made the run (18 miles) in 25 minutes. Shortly after the incom- 
 ing of the Watertown firemen the Lowville department, with its excellent 
 La France steamer, also arrived. The scene was now one the like of which 
 few of them had ever beheld. The flames were spreading with incredible- 
 rapidity. School-houses and homes, churches, work shops, and manufact- 
 ories were all alike being licked up by the devouring element, and broken- 
 hearted families wer^ compelled to look on, and helplessly witness, the 
 annihilation of the results of years of patient toil and endeavor. To add 
 to the alarm and distress the wind suddenly veered toward the north, and for 
 awhile it seemed as though no earthly power could save from destruction the 
 brick blocks and other buildings comprising the business portion of the vil- 
 lage on State street. The flames had now broken out on West street, in the, 
 upper part of the village. The steamers were wide apart, the water supply 
 had given out, and they were apparently powerless. For the space of about 
 half an hour, which seemed to the horror-stricken populace to be an age,, 
 nothing was done toward stiying the onward march of the flames. All ef- 
 forts seemed paralyzed. But a great change in the aspect of affairs soon 
 became apparent. Chief Cole had assumed control, and a brave, cool, ex- 
 perienced man at the head, directing and guiding, was not long in devising 
 a way to deliverance from what only a short time before had seemed certain 
 doom to the entire village. He placed the Carthage steamer at the foot of 
 State street, taking water from the river ; the Watertown engine, in the 
 center of State street, received the water from the Carthage steamer, and 
 soon two powerful streams were engaged in suppressing the flames which 
 were threatening destruction to the business part of State street. In the 
 meantime the Lowville department was busily and successfully engaged ir> 
 staying the spread of the flames in the northeasterly part of the village. 
 Under this excellent management affairs soon began to assume a more hope- 
 ful aspect, and at 5 o'clock the fire was under control. The Boonville de- 
 partment arrived at 6:45, wi'h' their handsome steamer, and relieved the

 Watertown firemen, remaining through the night, and rendering extremely 
 valuable and much needed assistance to the tired and nearly exhausted men 
 of the Carthage brigade. 
 
 The scene presented as night closed in was desolate beyond description. 
 Hundreds of famiUes, utterly destitute of food or shelter, and with no cloth- 
 ing except that which they had on at the time, having, many of them, lost in 
 an hour the products of long years of labor and economy, were wandering 
 about not knowing where to go or what to do. Many had become separated 
 from their friends and famihes, and were searching distractedly after them. 
 Household goods were strewn around in the utmost confusion. People 
 ■who had no other recourse were making up beds in barns and in the stores, 
 ■on floors, or wherever a place could be obtained for the purpose. The smoke 
 •of a hundred blackened ruins filled the air, every now and then breaking out 
 into tongues of flame. The wind howled and moaned with dismal force, and 
 it was a sad and weary night for all concerned. 
 
 City Surveyor Hodgkins, of Watertown, surveyed the ruins and gave as a 
 result that they covered just 70 acres. The boundaries were as follows : North 
 by Fulton street ; on the south by State and West streets ; on the east by 
 Clinton street and the cemetery ; and on the west by the east side of Me- 
 chanic and River streets. 
 
 There were 157 structures of all descriptions burned, about 100 of which 
 were homes. The aggregate loss has been variously estimated, and perhaps 
 correctly, at from $500,000 to $750,000; but it is difficult to estimate with 
 any degree of certainty. Many had no insurance, while a large number of 
 others were only partly insured. 
 
 No fatal accidents occurred, although numerous injuries were received of 
 more or less severity, while narrow escapes were frequent. Had the fire oc- 
 curred in the night instead of the day time the results in severe accidents and 
 loss of life must have been terrible. The school buildings were all burned, also 
 the Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Baptist churches, together with the parsonages 
 belonging to each. The Disciples Church also burned, the society owning 
 no parsonage. These buildings, together with the new opera house and vil- 
 lage hall, were valued at $82,000, with an insurance in all of $9,500. The 
 loss on the west side where the fire originated, consisted of Eaton's sash and 
 blind shop, Meyer, Ross & Co's furniture factory, H. D. Farrer & Son's tub 
 factory, I. S. Normander's saw-mill, and 90 cords of hemlock bark belonging 
 to Revell & Buck's tannery — agregate loss $17,000. 
 
 The heaviest losses to manufactories on the Carthage side were L. H. Mills, 
 saw-mill, grist-mill, store, and furnace, $25,000, insurance $3,600 ; Ryther 
 & Pringie, foundry, machine shop, patterns, office, etc., $50,000, insurance 
 $17,000; J. V. Guyot, grist-mill, saw-mill, and other buildings, $12,000, no 
 insurance; Charles Reuter, mills, lumber, and machinery, $10,000 ; Fred 
 Guyot, large brick shop, with machinery for planing wood work, etc., $8,000, 
 
838 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 no insurance ; C. Gregory, wagon shop, stock, and home, $4,000 ; no insur- 
 ance. 
 
 On the following day the president. of the village, Henry J. Welch, issued 
 a special proclamation expressive of the condition of things; thanking the 
 fire departments of Watertown, Lowville, and Boonville, for their prompt 
 and efficient aid ; the Utica & Black River R. R. Co. for their kindness in 
 giving the use of their road; and calling for policemen to aid in the protec- 
 tion of property in the streets. The proclamation also called for a special 
 meeting of the village trustees to convene at the office of the clerk at 2 p. m., 
 for the purpose of providing speedy aid to the suffering poor, who had neither 
 food, raiment, or shelter. 
 
 A citizens' meeting to arrange for the relief of sufferers was held at 
 Mechanic hall on Tuesday evening. A. E. Kilby was made chairman, and 
 E. H. Myers, secretary. A committee, composed of C. P. Ryther, A. E. 
 Kilby, James Galvin, Zelotes Wood, James P. Kinney, M. P. Mason, and 
 C. C. Ingraham, was appointed for the purpose. This committee was re- 
 quested to report weekly. C. P. Ryther was made treasurer of the commit- 
 tee, and A. E. Kilby, secretary. 
 
 At the meeting held by the trustees pursuant to the president's call figures 
 were presented to them which showed that 106 houses had been destroyed, 
 the number of buildings of all kinds burned aggregating nearly 200. They 
 decided that $1,000 was neededatonce to relieve the sufferers in the village, 
 and $500 was at once pledged. 
 
 With one exception (Mr. Kapfer, and his loss was heavy, being a member 
 of the firm of Meyer, Ross & Co.) the members of the board were sharers 
 with the many in the loss of their homes ; but they, nevertheless, lost no 
 time in setting about the reorganization of the school. Rooms were secured 
 in the M. E. Church, and also in one of the blocks in the business part of 
 the village, and within a fortnight the ' scattered children were gathered to- 
 gether and work was again resumed. 
 
 It is not sought here to draw a parallel between the awful visitation whfcb 
 befell the devoted city of Johnstown, outranking in the sum of its horrible 
 details any calamity known in the history of our country, but in a few par- 
 ticulars a similarity may be traced. In each case families were left homeless 
 and utterly destitute. In each case no sooner had the news gone abroad 
 than aid began to pour in from every quarter. The appeal issued in behalf 
 of the homeless and impoverished people of the ruined village met with a 
 swift response, as is, and ever will be, the case whenever the sympathies of 
 our common humanity are rightly evoked. Money, clothing, provisions, in 
 fact almost every conceivable article that could be of use in such a case came 
 and kept on pouring in. The committee appointed by the citizens took charge 
 of these matters, and established a depot in McCoUom's block, frorn which 
 they made distribution to those in need. The amount of money received from 
 all sources, as rendered in the final accounting of the committee, was about 
 
TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 839 
 
 $28,000. Of goods of all kinds, provisions, etc., a fair estimate would not 
 place the value below $5,000. 
 
 The blow was a terrible one, and for a time it seemed as if recovery was 
 impossible of achievement, at least during the life of the present generation. 
 But with the passing away of the first great shock courage began to revive. 
 Sympathy and substantial aid had not been lacking, and life-long habits of 
 persevering industry began to assert their power. The work of reconstruc- 
 tion was commenced. 
 
 Whoever may have occasion to visit the village of Carthage to-day will see 
 a busy people, dwelling in pleasant homes, churches restored, and ample school- 
 houses; neither will the sound of machinery be found wanting. The amount 
 of insurance, as given in the account of the fire soon after, aggregated $i66,- 
 050. The agents of the various companies came on at once and settled their 
 losses promptly, and without any protest so far as is known. The largest 
 single loss fell upon the Hanover, $40,000 ; the second largest upon the 
 Liverpool, London & Globe, $20,000. The whole amount was divided 
 among 15 separate companies. 
 
 CARTHAGE, LOWVILLE, AND NEW YORK LINE. 
 
 In 1858 George Sweet, Nicholas Wagner, and Christopher Rhiner incor- 
 porated and placed in active operation the Carthage, Lowville, and New York 
 Line. The opening of this line made access to New York and intermediate 
 points during the season direct, cheap, and convenient. The incorporators 
 maintained six boats. Their office and storehouse, with dock attached, was 
 a large building, very eligibly situated on the river, just at the corner of Canal 
 and West streets. For the first year or two the boats were towed up the river, 
 a distance of about 44 miles, by the steamer L. R. Lyon. The Lyon was an 
 immense boat, built after the pattern of the Mississippi steamers. She was 
 propelled by an immense wheel, situated at the stern, and was altogether too 
 large and unwieldy to render practical service upon the Black River — a very 
 crooked stream, and in places quite narrow as the ascent approaches the 
 falls. She burned to the water's edge August 10, rSjS. The event was pe- 
 culiarly distressing, inasmuch as it involved the death of George Roberts, 
 only son of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Roberts, who still are residents of Carthage. 
 George was sleeping in the boat, having been acting as engineer. 
 
 Captain Sweet, a practical and experienced river man, in i860 placed in 
 the service of the line a new steamer, which he named after R. Gallagher, 
 one of the principal citizens of the village. This was in fact the first steam- 
 boat ever placed upon the river that was really adapted to practical use. 
 This boat ran successfully until 1873, when it was disabled by being stove in 
 hy the ice at Carthage. Upon the arrival of the railroad at Lyons Falls Cap- 
 tain Sweet was in readiness with another new and handsome craft, built in 
 1864, which ran between Carthage and that station, carrying passengers and 
 
840 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 freight. The name of this boat was the F. G. Connell. Captain Sweet 
 placed another steamboat on the river in 1868, which he named after another 
 highly respected citizen of Carthage, John L. Norton. The Connell war 
 very popular with the traveling public, and was skillfully and carefully handled, 
 so that in its entire career no accident resulting in injury to passengers oc- 
 curred. In 1869 she was totally destroyed by fire. The completion of the 
 railroad to Carthage put an end to travel upon the river. Captain Sweet put 
 another boat upon the river in 1874, which is still running as a tow-boat 
 •during the season. 
 
 Captain Sweet also opened and commenced running the first daily line for 
 passengers between Cape Vincent and the Thousand Islands. This boat, 
 the James H. Kelley (afterwards the John Thome, and now, as improved, the 
 Islanded'), ran in connection with the R., W. & O. Railroad. Captain Sweet 
 is still engaged in the running of a passenger boat. The Ontario, an ex- 
 tremely fine boat, advertises regular trips between Oswego and Alexandria 
 Bay. 
 
 Carthage being the terminal point of the canal and river navigation the 
 scene at the docks and in their vicmity, during the season, was one of con- 
 siderable activity. The river was alive with boats passing up and down, laden 
 with merchandise of every description. The products of the forest furnished 
 load after load for shipment, at numerous points, while the tanneries received 
 cargoes of hides, numbering high in the thousands, which they in due time 
 returned to the market enhanced in value through the labor which they had 
 furnished to half a' hundred heads of families. Millers not being forced into 
 competition with the great wholesale dealers, now so easily accessible by 
 means of the railroads, received large consignments of wheat, corn, and other 
 grains, which, in the handling, grinding, and distribution to customers at nu- 
 merous points, gave occupation to others, and added to the general industry. 
 Merchants, mechanics, and dealers could not help but flourish if prudent and 
 attentive to business. The farmers of the surrounding country were not 
 among the least of those realizing the benefits of this opening up of a cheap 
 access to the large markets. Potatoes, which had formerly been of no ac- 
 count aside from the limited supply needed for home use, now found ready 
 sale by the boatload at fair prices. Butter and cheese had formerly to be 
 hauled long distances, on wagons, to Watertown, or some other point. Ship- 
 ment could now be made direct, and at rates which, in the aggregate, 
 amounted to a large saving and profit to makers. Wheelwrights, blacksmiths, 
 and mechanics generally found ready employment at good wages, or, if am- 
 bitiously inclined, entered into business on their own account, with the cer- 
 tain prospect of fair success if industrious and capable.* The lumber busi- 
 
 * The centralization of capital, and attendent destruction of many of those industries 
 which provided means of livelihood and competency to thousands, has been made possible 
 by the advent of railroads. Discussion of this or other phases of the labor question would 
 be out of place here, and we will drop the subject content with stating the fact.

 ness, comparatively insignificant before now, sprang into great activity, and 
 ilas, if anything, kept increasing in its proportions up to the present time. 
 This also furnished employment to an aimy of laborers, even as it does now, 
 and will, in all probability, continue to do until the forests are annihilated. 
 
 Carthage, having become the shipping point for a goodly portion of the sur- 
 rounding country, naturally became, also, the depot from which a correspond- 
 ing amount of supplies were drawn. Many obstacles have, first and last, 
 •stood in the way calculated to retard if not to prevent the growth and pros- 
 Tperity of the place. These have all in their turn been surmounted, and a 
 steady, solid advancement has been made. With all her present advantages, 
 •natural and acquired, it seems impossible that the future career of the village 
 -can be otherwise than one of honorable, progressive, and upward movement. 
 Whatever advantages can accrue to the place by means of the canal (and they 
 are not to be overlooked) belong there still. The enormous hydraulic power 
 aiforded by the river remains unimpaired. The geographical situation of the 
 village, as considered in connection with the existing railroads, is not only 
 important, but may be said to be unique. To the south it had uninterrupted 
 •connection with the metropolis and seaboard; to the west is a branch con- 
 necting with the great lakes ; north and northwest, the Thousand Islands, 
 •Ogdensburg, and the Grand Trunk ; while not by any means of the last impor- 
 tance to this growing town, the Carthage & Adirondack Railroad has afforded 
 access in the east to the inexhaustible mines of the great iron sections and 
 the vast wealth of the forests, while for the tourist there remains recreation 
 at lake or stream, or, as shall suit his humor, he may find rest and peace in 
 the contemplation of nature in her wildest as well as her most grandly beau- 
 tiful forms. The building and completion of the contemplated railroad 
 from Rome and Carthage (a thing which at present seems almost certain of 
 accomplishment) will place this village in many important respects without a 
 peer among mland towns in any section of Northern New York. 
 
 The C, L. & N. Y. Line, after a very successful and prosperous career, 
 finally ceased operations in 1870, being unable to profitably compete with 
 the railroads. There is still, however, a considerable amount of business 
 done in heavy freights, such as lumber, etc., at points along the upper parts 
 of the river, and some coal is brought here by boat ; but the railroad may be 
 said here, as elsewhere, to have things pretty much its own way, fur the prin- 
 cipal reason that it is available in winter as well as in summer, and vastly 
 quicker in the transportation of goods. 
 
 A candid survey of the probabilities forces the conclusion that, had the 
 Black River Canal been brought to completion at the time first expected and 
 designed, Carthage must then have rapidly become a large and important 
 village, ranking by the present time with the largest in Northern New York. 
 The prospective advantages at this point were very great, and would, as surely 
 
842 TOWN OF WILNA. 
 
 as cause will lead to effect, have brought all necessary capital and enterprise 
 to have adequately insured the benefits to be derived therefrom.* 
 
 The history of the Black River Canal need not be told here. When it 
 did at last reach to this point it had lost nearly all, of that importance which it 
 had at first obtained for this section. The energy^ enterprise, and sagacious 
 foresight of leading citizens in Watertown had secured to themselves the in- 
 estimable advantages of a railroad, and that busy, enterprising village 
 marched steadily and swiftly on its upward path until, from being the most 
 thriving village in the state, it is now one of the brightest of cities. We do 
 not undertake to say that Carthage would have attained to the dignity of a, 
 city, but we do say that nothing could have prevented the immediate growth 
 of a large and important manufacturing town, and to-day have become at 
 least double its present size. We trust, however, that we have been able to 
 give the reader some idea in the course of this article of the facilities which 
 are at our command at the present time for this immensely important item in 
 business aifairs, namely: adequate advantages for the transportation of com- 
 modities, and our eligibility, not only in this, but in some other almost equally 
 important respects. 
 
 Natural Bridge is a post village located in the eastern corner of the town, 
 upon Indian River. It contains two churches, one tannery, a grist-mill, saw- 
 mill, planing-mill, four general stores, two groceries, two blacksmith shops, a 
 hardware store, two cabinet stores, two hotels, an opera house, and a fancy 
 goods store. Improvements commenced here in 1818. In 1819 and 1820- 
 mills were erected. The early settlers were Zebina Chaffee, Arnold Burr, 
 Abel Bingham, Teunis Allen, Stephen Nutting, Charles R. Knight, and others. 
 Bingham opened the first store in 1820, and Knight the first inn in 1821 or 
 '22. After the purchase of a large tract in this vicinity by Joseph Bonaparte 
 (Count Survilliers), he caused a large framed house to be built here, for his 
 summer residence, and on one or two summers he made a short sojourn 
 
 * That great Kopes and expectations were entertained in that day may be shown hy 
 the fact that Mr. Le Ray sold to persons, the most of whom did not live in the village,. 
 50 acres of land, bounded on West street, and taking in what is now known as the "slip 
 lot," for $12,000, reserving a large share to himself, so that he realized $8,000 in cash for 
 an amount equal to about one undivided two-thirds interest. The same land would prob- 
 ably sell to-day for $2,000. About the same time Dr. Eli West sold a house and a quar- 
 ter of an acre of land on the corner of West and Canal streets for $5,000. The house- 
 has since been taken down and replaced by other buildings. The bare lot to-day would 
 probably sell for $800. All this happened in 1836-37, and has been know in local history 
 as the great land excitement. This was, of course, pure speculation on the part of the 
 purchaser, involving what for these days was a large sum of rhoney, and like many other 
 transactions of a similar nature resulted in loss to the investors. It is given a place here 
 to show the view taken by clear-headed business men (for they were such) of the value 
 which investments would attain here, upon the opening up of intercourse with the outer 
 world. It must be borne in mind that those were not the days of railroads, that time not 
 yet having arrived.

 here. This house is still standing in a good state of preservation. The vil- 
 lage derives its name from the fact that, in dry seasons, the water of the river 
 finds its way by a subterranean pissage, under a mass of white limestone, 
 that here constitutes the rock at the suface. In floods the excess flows in 
 an open channel on the surface, over which a bridge passes. From the solu- 
 ble character of this rock it has been worn into grottoes of some interest, 
 which, in low water, may be entered a short distance, and here, as elsewhere 
 along the junction of the white or primary limestone and the gneiss rock, 
 there occurs a great variety of minerals, which afford an inviting field of re- 
 search.

 PATRICK SOMERVILLE STEWART. 
 
 Patrick Soraerville Stewart, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, was born in 
 1790. When 14 years of age he shipped as a sailor and came to America, 
 In 18 1 5 he entered the employ of the Le Ray family, and here he continued 
 for half a century. His natural sagacity, good judgment, and sterling quali- 
 ties were such that he gained the confidence of his employers, and in 1835 
 he had full power as their attorney and care of their vast estates. He had 
 eight children. His wife died in February, 1876, aged 86. Mr. Stewart was 
 a Methodist in his religious affiliations and a generous contributor ; a 
 Whig and Republican in his politics. Possessed of an indomitable will, 
 independent, energetic and positive in the maintenance of his principles, he 
 was yet a man of more than ordinary tenderness, and would often sacrifice 
 himself to serve a friend. He died in November, 1874, aged 84 years, leaving 
 a reputation in no wise tainted or fused with anything unjust. 
 
 LAWRENCE JOSEPH GOODALE. 
 
 The Goodale, Goodeli, and Goodall families are from a common ancestry. 
 At what time, or why, the orthography of the name was changed is not known; 
 but there is a tradition that three brothers, living in the same town, agreed to 
 adopt a separate spelling for their mutual convenience. Robert Goodeli, 
 the first American ancestor, a great-great-grandson of Robert of England, 
 was born in 1604, and sailed from Ipswich, England, August 30, 1634, in 
 the ship Elizabeth, with his wife and three children. They settled in Salem,

 When the town of Temple, N. H., was incorporated, August 26, 1768, in 
 accordance with a petition presented in June, the name of Ezekiel Goodale 
 was among the petitioners, and as one of the embattled farmers of the Revo- 
 lution his name is recorded in history. From Hammond's (New Hampshire) 
 Town Papers we extract: —

 This petition was granted. 
 
 The wife of Lieut. Goodale, whose maiden name was Gill, was one of the 
 gentlest of women and looked well to the ways of her household, and her 
 children were tenderly and lovingly cared for. She died in Watertown about 
 1822, at the residence of her son, Dr. Reuben Goodale. Lieut. Goodale 
 emigrated from Temple, N. H., to Litchfield, Herkimer County, in 1792, and 
 engaged in agriculture. Here he remained until 1820, when he removed to 
 EUisburgh, where his daughter, Mrs. John French, was a resident, and died 
 there in 1824, at the age of 84 years. He was a man of positive character, 
 and openly expressed his views on any matter. " He served his day and 
 generation well." His son Joseph, born in Temple, N. H.. August 29, 
 1780, was brought up as a farmer in Herkimer County. He came to Water- 
 to?ra in 1815, and established himself in trade, conducting a large drug store 
 for nearly 20 years, when he retired from merchandising, and for some years 
 his principal business was carrying on his farm in Pamelia (now embraced 
 in the limits of the city of Watertown). He erected the brick building next 
 below the Kirby House in 1828, and there he died June 29, 1859. Joseph 
 Goodale was a man who had fixed opinions in politics, religion, and other 
 matters. He wa§ a Federalist, Whig, and Republican, never an aspirant for 
 office, but a zealous worker in the ranks ; a thorough anti-slavery and tem- 
 perance man, and a denouncer of any in opposition to these sentiments. 
 Strong and reliable in h's friendships, he had the respect and esteem of good 
 men. He was a great reader of historical works, political economy, etc., 
 and kept himself informed on the topics of the day. His wife, Agnes Bush, 
 born November 24, 1784, in Enfield, Conn., was a descendant of Plymouth 
 colonists of early settlement. She was a strong Presbyterian in her religious

 views, and a woman of great moral worth. Her death occurred July 3, 1876.. 
 Their two children are Lawrence J. and Augustus. 
 
 Lawrence Joseph Goodale was born in Watertown, February 20, 1816, in 
 the " Edmonston house," so-called, on the north side of the Public Square,, 
 which stood where the lower end of the present "Iron block," just above the 
 Woodruff House, is located. Mr. Goodale received a liberal education ; he 
 prepared for college at Watertown and Fishkill Landing; he entered Union 
 College, Schenectady, in 1835, '" '"''^ Sophomore year, and was graduated in 
 1838. He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and has ever re- 
 tained an interest in it. He taught school for a year and a half from May i, 
 1838, and then entered the office of Sterling & Bronson, Watertown, as a- 
 law student. In October, 1840, he was admitted to the bar at Albany, and' 
 commenced the practice of his profession at once in Carthage. September 
 I, i84t, he married Isabella, daughter of Patrick Somerville Stewart. March, 
 1842, Mr. Goodale removed to Watertown, and formed a partnership with 
 Micah Sterling as "Sterling & Goodale." This continued until the death 
 of Mr. Sterling in April, 1844. From that time until 1847 Mr. Goodale 
 practiced alone, when, with Joseph Mullin as a partner, he conducted legal 
 business until 1852. July 4, 1853, Mr. Goodale established himself as a 
 lumber dealer in New York city, and in 1856 opened a law office at the corner 
 of Fulton street and Broadway. He was in constant practice of his profes- 
 sion here for eight years, when, September 20, 1864, he returned to Carthage, 
 where he has since resided and devoted himself to real estate business, hav- 
 ing been an agent of the Le Ray de Chaumont estate, which has been sold' 
 and settled under Mr. Goodale's careful and judicious administration. He 
 has also acted as counselor, drafted papers, and as executor and adminis- 
 trator settled many estates involving a large amount of property. Since the 
 organization of the Carthage Savings Bank he has been its president and sl 
 director. 
 
 Mr. Goodale is one of Nature's noblemen; he has a great heart, and his- 
 whole life has been devoted to acts of benevolence. Happy himself, 
 he believes in making others happy as far as he is able. His religion' 
 consists in doing good according to his means. Of him it may be truly said, 
 the world is better for his living. He teaches by precept and example, and' 
 the two go hand in hand. The most tolerant of men, he has his own opin- 
 ions, and they are rigidly adhered to until he is satisfied that they are errone- 
 ous. In his business operations he is method itself, and so has a logical: 
 mind. His impulses are all of a noble character, and being animated by 
 lofty principles he has become the best type of a man as naturally as water 
 finds its level. 
 
 REV. GEN. DAVID BOUTWELL WHITE. 
 
 The subject of this sketch was born in the town of TuUy, Onondaga 
 County, N. Y., April 6, 1831. His early life was spent on a farm with his- 
 
WMC-uMcb„„a Pru,t,}^..^ur^

 849 
 
 parents, Francis V. and Phebe White. In the summers he assisted his father 
 on the farm, and winters attended the public school ; at all times when not 
 employed he would be poring over his books. At the age of 20 he was 
 converted under the labors of Rev. Charles Blakesley, and united with the 
 Methodist Episcopal Church. He soon engaged in teaching the district 
 school near his home, and in which he had acquired his own education. He 
 always^opened school with a short scripture lesson and prayer. His trustee 
 sent him word that he must discontinue this practice. He replied, " I can 
 leave the school if you wish, but cannot continue it without prayer.'' The 
 trustee said to neighbors, " To-morrow I will go there, and unless he will stop 
 praying I '11 pitch him out of doors." The next day he started for school to 
 put his threat into execution, met with an accident, and was taken home a 
 corpse. Before the school term closed, in addition to unprecedented ad- 
 vancement of the pupils in book lore, nearly every member of the school had 
 made a public profession of religion. In the spring of 1852 he went to 
 Falley Seminary, Fulton, N. Y. He paid his expenses by teaching winters 
 and working vacations, and graduated from that institution June 28, 1855, 
 with the honor of valedictorian of his class. During his school life he 
 " boarded himself " with a " chum " of like spirit, who relates that at times 
 for days together their fare would consist of potatoes and salt; rising at 5 
 A. M., and working till 10 at night. At the beginning of the fall, term, 1853, 
 one of the professors was taken sick, and soon after died. Mr. White took 
 one-half of bis classes for nearly the rest of the year, in addition to his own 
 studies. About the middle of the spring term following he was compelled to 
 leave school on account of failing health. 
 
 May 7, 1856, he was married to Sarah H. Van Allen, of Pillar Point, N. Y. 
 who graduated from the same school at the same time he did. In June of 
 the same year he was received into the Black River (now Northern New York) 
 Conference. When the war broke out he had just entered upon his second 
 year at Ilion, N. Y. The defeats and disasters of the few terrible months 
 which followed moved his patriotic soul, insomuch that he enlisted as a 
 private October 9, 1861. He took out recruiting papers, and went to raising 
 a company under Col. O. B. Pierce, with headquarters at Rome, N. Y. In 
 December, 186 1, they were ordered to Albany, where they were consolidated 
 with Oswego recruits, and constituted the 8ist N. Y. V. Inf , and Mr. White 
 was commissioned captain of Co. I. In February they were ordered to 
 Washington, and soon after to the field, and under Gen. McClellan engaged 
 m the Peninsula campaign of 1862, in the battles of Williamsburg, White 
 Oak Swamp, Gaines Mills, Fair Oaks, White House, and Malvern Hill. For 
 valiant services he was promoted to major in October, 1862. Soon after he 
 went South with his regiment, and was engaged in the bombardment of 
 Charleston, S. C. In May, 1863, the regiment was sent to guard Beaufort 
 Harbor, N. C, and was quartered at Fort Macon, Morehead, and Beaufort. 
 Here they remained till October. Meanwhile he frequently led the effective 
 
 54*

 men of his regiment in scouting expeditions in Eastern North Carolina. In 
 October, 1863, they were ordered to Newport News, and afterwards to Ber- 
 muda Hundred, under Gen. Butler. They were engaged in the spring and sum- 
 mer campaigns of 1864 before Petersburg, Cold Harbor, Weldon Road, 
 Drury's Bluff, Chapin's Farm, and the second battle at Fair Oaks, or Seven 
 Pines. This regiment went into battle at Cold Harbor with nine captains, 
 and came out with two. Five were killed, and two so severely wounded they 
 never returned to service. At the next battle in which they were engaged the 
 remaining two were killed. August 10, 1864, he was detailed to the com- 
 mand of the 5th Maryland Regt., better known in those days as the Balti- 
 more " Plug Uglies," on account of the insubordination of the soldiers and 
 the discord among the officers, which rendered the regiment almost unservice- 
 able. On assuming command his first words gained the respect of the men, 
 and inspired them with confidence. Military discipline was enforced without 
 difficulty. Self-respect was aroused, and soon the sth Maryland was pro- 
 nounced one of the best disciplined regiments in the service. The colonel 
 of the regiment, who had been detailed to brigade duty, wrote Major White 
 a long and most complimentary letter of thanks, saying, " You have done 
 yourself and the service great credit." Soon after the colonel, rather than 
 return to his regiment, tendered his resignation, whereupon the officers peti- 
 tioned Gov. Bradford to promote Major White to fill the vacancy. From this 
 petition we extract the following: " In the darkest days of the regiment, 
 when discord reigned supreme, among officers high in rank, when discipline 
 seemed almost at an end, and destruction threatened the regiment. Major 
 White was placed in command. Under his sway order, confidence, and dis- 
 cipline were restored, the discordant material eliminated, and the reputation 
 of the regiment redeemed." This was signed by every commissioned officer 
 with the regiment. Gov. Bradford could not promote the Major, as he was 
 a citizen and soldier from another state. 
 
 February 17, 1865, Gov. Fenton, of New York, commissioned him lieu- 
 tenant-colonel 8 1 St N. Y. V. v., and July 12th of the same year commis- 
 sioned him colonel of the same regiment. On this latter he was not mustered, 
 as hostilities had ceased, and no more musters were made. The regiment 
 was mustered out of the U. S. service August 31, 1865, and out of state service 
 September 20, Lieut.-Col. White being the only commissioned officer in the 
 regiment who held a commission when first ordered to the front. In his four 
 years' service he was never wounded, never so sick as to spend a day in hos- 
 pital, never a prisoner, was never detailed to staff office, and was in every battle 
 and skirmish in which his regiment was engaged ; even when he led the sth 
 Maryland they fought in the same division in which his own regiment was 
 engaged. But that no soldier ever excelled him in promptness or unflinching 
 bravery is fully attested, even his enemies and rivals themselves being judges. 
 
 For meritorious services President Johnson, the U. S. Senate concurring, 
 conferred on him the title of brevet colonel and brevet brigadier-general,

 July 23, 1867. Immediately after being mustered out of service he returned 
 to Hampton, Va., and in partnership with Hon. George Chahoon established 
 a paper called True Southerner, which was outspoken in the principles for 
 which he fought, and was one of the first in the nation to advocate suffrage 
 for the freedmen. The first issue appeared early in November, 1865, pros- 
 pered for awhile, but in time it failed, the last issue being in June, 1866. 
 Just at this time the Methodist Episcopal Church Missionary Society sent 
 agents South to organize churches. When they met Mr. White, and learned 
 that he had been a minister in the same church, they impressed him into 
 their service, and when the Virginia and North Carolina Conference was 
 organized he became a charter member, and was made presiding elder of 
 Richmond district, embracing all Eastern Virginia from Richmond to Wash- 
 ington. Such was the prejudice against everything Northern, and especially 
 against the Methodist Episcopal Church, that it was with great difficulty he 
 could secure a place for religious service. This, together with the political 
 influence acquired by his connection with the paper, being constantly urged 
 to make political speeches, of necessity drew him into politics. He was 
 elected delegate to the constitutional convention which assembled in Rich- 
 mond the first week in January, 1868. The conference of which he was a 
 member held its second session also at the same time, in the same city. 
 After consultation with the bishop and presiding elders it was unanimously 
 thought he could better serve the church and the cause of reconstruction by 
 Tcmaining in the convention. A location was granted him with most flatter- 
 ing resolutions of esteem and regret, and cordially inviting him to return to 
 his connection with them whenever he thought best to do so. His record in 
 the convention was gratifying, being an acknowledged leader on the side of 
 the Union. He was temporary chairman when the convention was organized, 
 and was often called to the' chair in the absence of the speaker. The conven- 
 tion continued in session till May, 1868. In August he was appointed assistant 
 sub-assistant commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau, with headquarters in 
 Eastville and Johnston, on the eastern shore of Virginia, which appointment 
 •he retained till it was revoked in consequence of the discontinuance of the 
 bureau, December 31, 1868. The following extract from a letter from 
 ■Gen. S. C. Armstrong, his superior in office, who was then and still is at 
 'he head of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, speaks for 
 itself:— 
 
 " Jlfi/ J)m.r G-eneral: — At the close of your labors in the bureau I take great pleasure in 
 assuring you that you have done the best school work of any oiBcer ever on duty in my dis- 
 'rict. You have in a few months done a great work, and are entitled to a credit beyond my 
 power to fully render. * * * 
 
 " S. C. Akmstbong, Sub-Assistant Commissioner." 
 
 In May, 1869, he was appointed by G. S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treas- 
 ury, assistant assessor of internal revenue in the Fourth District of Virginia, 
 and resigned October 27 to accept the office of assessor of the same district, 
 lo which he was appointed and commissioned by President Grant, and con-

 firmed by the United States Senate, which place he held till March 4, 1871. 
 Meanwhile, Congress having accepted the constitution as framed by the con- 
 vention, submitted it to a vote of the people of Virginia, and ordered the 
 election of state officers provided for by said constitution and the members 
 of Congress. The election was held July 6, 1869. Gen. White was elected 
 member of the House of delegates, the lower House of the legislature, to rep- 
 resent the Third District of Virginia, embracing Warwick and Elizabeth City 
 counties, in which district he had his home, and where his family resided. 
 The legislature convened October 5, 1869, seated delegates, adopted rules 
 for the government of the House and General Assembly, ratified the various- 
 amendments to the constitution of the United States, elected United States 
 senators, submitted their acts to Congress, and adjourned October 20, to await 
 Congress's approval of the action of the people of Virginia ; convened Feb- 
 ruary 8, 1870, adjourned July 11, reassembled October i, and adjourned 
 sine die November 10, 1870. 
 
 April 27, 1870, a few minutes before ri a. m., the bell was tolling the hour 
 for assembling the legislature, and the Supreme Court of Appeals had just 
 gathered in the court room above the House of delegates, to hear the de- 
 cision of the judge in a case involving great interests. An immense con- 
 course of people of all stations in life, and of all shades of politics, had 
 assembled. The clerk had entered, judges were in their seats, the counsel 
 ready for business, and the reporters of the four city papers were in their 
 chairs, when a sudden crash brought the gallery over into the court room, 
 which gave way, and the whole went crashing down into the room of the 
 House of delegates, carrying it along in the general ruin. Fifty-eight bodies 
 were taken out dead, and 172 injured, several of whom soon died. Just 
 before the crash Gen. White had been writing at his desk in the House of 
 delegates. Interested in the decision about to be given he put away his 
 writing and went out to the rotunda to go to the court room. He stopped and 
 deliberated a moment should he go up stairs or back to his desk, or go to see 
 a friend on business. He decided upon the latter, and scarcely was he seated 
 in his friend's parlor when the alarm was given. All thought the building was 
 on fire. He calmly arose and said he would go and save the papers in his desk. 
 Reaching the capitol he saw the trouble, sprang through a window, the door 
 being blockaded; he took off his coat into which he put his watch, and put 
 both where he could find them when wanted. He then went to work, de- 
 liberately giving directions as to the rescuing of the injured and the dead. 
 He was joined by the rebel general Imboden, and, as by common consent, 
 these two worked together and directed others, who seemed to abide the 
 judgment and do the bidding of these, who never ceased their labors for 
 a moment till the last man living or dead was brought out from the debris. 
 Each of the four Richmond papers paid him very high compliments for his- 
 bravery and efficiency, where till now they had only bitter denunciations for 
 his pronounced Union sentiments.

 His record in liie legislature was all that his friends could desire ; never 
 wavering from his principles, yet magnanimous toward his political foes, and 
 only those who were in those Southern states, just after the war, can fully 
 comprehend the meaningof the term "political foes." Often his life had been 
 threatened and ambush had been laid for him. Once some men in a barroom 
 were discussing him, when one said, " Why don't somebody kill him ?" One 
 fellow, with maudling speech, answered: "Cause there don't anybody get 
 drunk enough to be such fools as to undertake it." Col. Mallory, whose call 
 on Gen. Butler for the return of his slaves drew from the General that im- 
 mortal epithet " contraband," went with others, after the legislature adjourned, 
 to Gen. White, and told him if he would run for the next legislature from 
 that district they would not bring forward any other candidate. His health 
 was now very much broken, and he was not able to consider the proposition. 
 March 4, 187 1, he resigned his position as assessor of internal revenue, and 
 returned home for a season of rest. He was soon after appointed by the 
 Secretary of the Treasury inspector of customs for the port of Hampton, 
 which place he held till the office was abolished, December 31, 1872. During 
 all these years he had frequently occupied pulpits in Richmond, Ports- 
 mouth, Norfolk, and Chesapeeke, near Fort Monroe, with which latter place 
 he held his church membership. There they entreated him, not willing to be 
 denied, that he should become their pastor. His health was now so poor 
 that his only hope of recovery was in returning to his native state. 
 
 February, 1873, he was readmitted to the Virginia conference and urgently 
 entreated to take work with them, but the state of his health warned hini that 
 he must leave that chmate. He was transferred in April to Northern New 
 York Conference by Bishop Harris, and appointed to Madrid. He subse- 
 quently served Louisville, Canton, Ogdensburg, and came to Carthage, this 
 county, in April, 1883. Here disease laid him low. He was recovering 
 from a severe illness when the great fire of October 20, 1884, broke out. He, 
 by persistent effort, directing, encouraging, and betimes commanding, when 
 to others the effort seemed vain, succeeded in saving the Methodist Church 
 and parsonage from the flames, these being the only things left standing at 
 the close of that dreadful day in the midst of 70 acres of desolation and ruin. 
 The effort and excitement brought on complete prostration. After a day or 
 two he rallied by his will, sent for his own official board and the pastors of 
 the other churches whose edifices had gone down in the general ruin, and 
 made arrangements to have the pastors occupy in turn the M. E. Church. 
 His own labors were now ended, but not his sufferings, which often were in- 
 describable. In February, 1885, he went to St. Luke's Hospital, Utica, for 
 treatment, without avail. He was brought home June 18, helpless but suf- 
 fering mpst excruciatingly, requiring three or four persons to move him in 
 bed. He subsequently became less sensitive to pain, but lingered a perfect 
 physical wreck till July 21, 1886, when death came to his reHef. His mind 
 was clear as ever in health till the unconsciousness of death settled upon him.

 A large concourse of sympathizing friends accompanied his remains to Fair- 
 view Cemetery, and did all that humanity could do to lift the shadows fron* 
 his bereaved family. 
 
 This sketch would be incomplete without a mention of the orders to which 
 he belonged. He became a Mason in September, 1861; joined the G. A. R. 
 with the Theodore Winthrop Post, No. 5, Department of Virginia, February 
 21, 1870 ; became an Odd Fellow during his pastorate in Ogdensburg ; and 
 was transferred from Winthrop Post, G. A. R., to E. B. Steele Post, Car- 
 thage. During all his afflictions these orders were more than brothers ; not 
 only supplying nurses and watchers for the terrible 13 months, but for a part 
 of the time the entire necessities of life till December, 1885, when tardy 
 justice, yet always sure, from the government relieved financial wants. 
 
 Cornelius Van Allen, son of Cornelius and Catharine (Martin) Van Allen, 
 was born in Herkimer County in 1803. In his boyhood, with his mother 
 and step-father, Adam See, he removed to Pillar Point, in the town of Brown- 
 ville. He was educated in the common schools and early entered actively 
 into the duties of business life. He was often employed by neighbors to draw 
 legal papers, and in the settlement of estates. He bought several farms and 
 cleared them up. He married Lora Ackerman, daughter of Robert and 
 Roxalana (Child) Ackerman, of Pillar Point, in July, 1829. While having 
 no ambition for office, he served his town in an acceptable manner on several 
 occasions. His chief pride was in advancing the educational interests of the 
 locality by giving all of his nine children an academic education at Falley 
 Seminary, an example that in a measure was followed by several of his neigh- 
 bors. He assisted several young men in gaining an education by advancing 
 the funds necessary. He bore one-third of the expenses of building the first 
 Methodist Episcopal Ctiurch on Pillar Point, and through life was a liberal 
 contributor towards the support of the gospel. He died December 13, 1866. 
 His daughter Sarah H., born in May, 1834, became the wife of Rev. Gen. 
 D. B. White.

 prominent characteristics were energy, industry, and perseverance. To enter upon adescrip- 
 tion of the numerous enterprises conceived and put into operation by him would be to give

 ica and settled in Kossie, St. Lawrence County, arriving there in April, 1819. (His father's fam- 
 ily consisted of seven sons and two daughters.) At the age of 24 years he mariied Margaret- 
 Eobison, who had lately come from Scotland with her father's family, and they began married 
 life on a farm near Antwerp village. During the summer of 1832 he bought a farm of 100- 
 acres in the central part of Wilna, and in December, with one of his brothers, he went from 
 Antwerp with an ox-team to this farm to build a log cabin, in the construction of which he 
 did not use a nail, and did not pay out a cent for anything except for one window containing 
 sis 7 by 9 lights, which cost him 75 cents. For floor they split straight-grained basswood as 
 thin as they could, and hewed it smooth, the same material being used for doors; and for roof 
 basswood troughs were laid, the first ones bark side down, and the upper ones, to break joints, 
 bark side up. For a fire-place and chimney a rough stone was found in the woods and used 
 with mud for mortar, which made a comfortable and warm house, in which they lived until 
 1840, when a frame liouse was built, and the old house used for a stable. In February, 1833, 
 he loaded his household goods and wife on an ox-sled, and, with a cow, started for their future 
 home in WUna. His cabin was about a quarter of a mile from the public road. He could not 
 reach it by the road made in December, and was compelled to make a new road, cutting brush 
 and stamping the snow before the oxen as they proceeded. He was soon established in his 
 new home, and then commenced a life of toil; but he was often heard to remark in after years 
 that the few years they Uved in the log cabin, rearing their family and clearing up the farm, 
 were the happiest of his life, his wife being perfectly contented and happy, and both having 
 good health.

 ^\ArORTH. 
 
 W 
 
 fORTH, named in honor of Gen. William J. Worth, was formed 
 from Lorraine, April 12, 1848. It is located in the southeastern 
 corner of the county, and is bounded on the north by Rodman 
 and Pinckney in Lewis County, on the east by Montague in Lewis County, 
 on the south by Redfield in Oswego County, and on the west by the town 
 Lorraine. It has an area of 25,816^ acres. It is designated in the old 
 records as town No. 2, of the Boylston tract. Upon the division of the 
 Black River tract the eastern portion of this town was divided up among the 
 proprietors to make their proportions equal. Reckoning from north to south 
 these tracts were Harrison and Hoffman, 1,283 acres; Henderson, 649 ; 
 Low, 1,576 ; William Constable, 947 ; the remainder to Harrison and Hoff- 
 man. In the northtsrestern part of the town Daniel McCormick and Charles 
 Smith made purchases, which afterwards became the center of the first set- 
 , tlement. Abel French, the agent of McCormick and Smith, employed 
 Joseph Crary to make the first surveys in November, 1801, and May, 1802. 
 The town was only partly surveyed, and subsequently was lotted in such a 
 way that several duplicate numbers occurred, which occasioned much trouble. 
 Mr. French, while journeying through Herkimer County, from his home in 
 Denmark, induced a company of citizens of Litchfield to purchase a large tract 
 here. This company appointed Timothy Greely, Joseph Wilcox, and Elihu 
 ■Gillet acDmmittee to visit this tract and report upon the advisability of making 
 a purchase upon the proper basis. Their report being favorable a contract 
 Tfas concluded by which they agreed to pay $7,622 for the northwest quarter, 
 of the town. Afterwards a deed was executed to them, in trust, for them- 
 selves and their associates, and a mortgage given. The tract was divided 
 into lots (it comprised the nine great lots in the northwestern corner), and 
 was drawn by ballot Ly the company, who paid over money as they might be

 able to their committee, and received bonds for the delivery of deeds whe 
 the purchase money should have enabled them to produce a clear titlf 
 Besides the committee mentioned the company consisted of Asaph Casi 
 , Leonard Bullock, W. Flower, Eli Gillet, Lodwick EdwarJs, John Griswolc 
 Ezekiel Chever, Phineas Rose, Joel Caulkins, Abram Ford, Nathan Matsor 
 Asa Sweet, John Pinear, Phineas Stevens, Elijah and David Richmond, Joh 
 and William Sagas, John Houghtaling, and perhaps a few others, all fror 
 Herkimer County. 
 
 The general surface of the town is undulating and very elevated, the alti 
 tude of its territory being probably greater than any other part of the county 
 In the eastern part of the town is the height of land between Black Rive 
 and Sandy Creek, in this county, and Salmon River in Lewis County. Thi 
 south branch of Sandy Creek floivs through the town in a general westerh 
 direction. It has numerous tributaries, the principal ones being ChJoe anc 
 Abijah creeks. These streams afford water-power at certain seasons of th( 
 year, and drain the town thoroughly. The soil, being underlaid by a shah 
 rock, is less liable to drouth than the lower portion of the county, and i< 
 finely adapted to grazing. The surface was originally covered with a fine 
 growth of timber, chiefly beech, maple, hemlock, and pine, and large forests 
 are yet found in the southern and eastern parts of the town. These forests 
 have been the source of considerable revenue, furnishing the material for 
 numerous mills and tanneries. Gathering these products and dairying are 
 the principal industries of the town.

 furniture factory, two saw-mills, a steam shingle-mill, grist-mill, a restaurant, 
 cheese factory, cooper shop, and about 30 dwellings. 
 
 Worth Center (p. o.) is a hamlet near the center of the town on Abijah 
 Creek. It has a saw mill, blacksmith shop, store, and about 20 dwellings. 
 This place owes its existence to Edward Cornell, who made the first settle- 
 ment here in 1850, and is now extensively engaged in lumbering. The place 
 is supplied with a telephone. 
 
 Worihville furniture factory^ built by W. A. Cornwall in 1880, is located 
 on Mill street in Worthville village. It is engaged in the manufacture of 
 chamber suits, etc., and also sleighs, coasters, and matched and dressed lum- 
 ber and moldings, making a specialtyof prepared supplies for contractors 
 and builders. 
 
 Cornell's mills, at Worth Center, on Abijah Creek, were built by Edward 
 Cornell in 185 1, as saw and shingle-mills, and rebuilt and enlarged by him 
 in 1866. The size of the building is 60 by 60 feet, and the mills turn out 
 600,000 feet of lumber annually, one-half of which is planed and matched. 
 
 S. B. Kellogg s saw and lumber-mills, at Worthville, built in 1861, do a 
 profitable business in planing and matched lumber and moldings. 
 
 William H. Prouiy's saw and shingle mills, on the south branch of Sandy 
 Creek, about two and a half miles east of Worthville, were built by H. A. 
 Prouty in 1868. They have the capacity for fuming out about 350,000 feet 
 of lumber and 300,000 shingles annually. 
 
 William Spies's saw-mill, located about three miles east of Worthville, on 
 the south branch of Sandy Creek, does a profitable business. 
 
 Samuel £. Kellogg' s grist-mill, at Worthville, built in 1861, does a thriv- 
 ing custom business. 
 
 Asaph Case and Leonard Bullock, from Herkimer County, came to this 
 town in the fall of 1802, settling on lots 7 and 8, and were among the first 
 to locate in the territory now comprised within the limits of Worth. They 
 were both members of the company's committee, as was also Eli Gillet, who 
 came in with his family soon after. Mr. Bullock's first house was built en- 
 tirely cf logs, without floor, door, or windows. The roof was made of hollow 
 basswood logs, split, and so laid that every alternate one formed a trough to 
 carry away the water. A blanket hung up served as a door, and the earth, 
 smoothed down and covered with leaves, served for a floor. In March of the 
 following year Joseph Wilcox came in with an ox-team hitched to a sled. 
 There were no roads nor bridges, and their only guides were blazed trees. Mr. 
 Wilcox erected a log house, which had a puncheon floor, bark roof, and for a 
 window a sheet of paper oiled so as to admit the light. It had a chamber 
 floor, too, but, as it was made of elm bark, the utmost caution was required 
 in the movements of the occupants. The wintry winds, too, would some- 
 times take away a portion of the roof, admitting the snow to the depth of 
 several inches, so that it was not uncommon to be obliged to shovel away 
 the snow before those in bed could qescend to the room below. 
 
870 TOWN OF WORTH. 
 
 Nearly all the others of the Litchfield company came in 1803, and were 
 subjected to the many hardships incident to pioneer life. The settlements 
 had attained but mediocre proportions when the War of 18 12 was declared. 
 This so alarmed and frightened the settlers that many of them deserted their 
 homes and returned to their native places. The cold seasons which followed 
 caused others to forsake their possessions here, which nearly depopulated 
 the settlements. Then the mortgages were foreclosed, bringing extra hard- 
 ships upon those who remained ; for all had, by the terms of the contract, 
 made themselves liable for the failure of one, and much of the land reverted 
 to the proprietors. 
 
 After these discouragements the settlement of the town progressed very 
 slowly, and in 1830 the list of residents of Worth was as follows : Joseph 
 Wilcox and son Sterling, Daniel Wilcox, Asaph, Able, and John Case, E. 
 West, John Russell, Chester Bushnell, Andrew W. Craig, John Wilson, 
 Paul Pryor, Peter Wakefield, Joseph H. and Venus C. Rising, Joseph Tot- 
 ten, James Potter, Zadoc Hale, Henry, Erastus, and Richard Lyon, Leon- 
 ard and Alanson Bullock, Joel Overton, Boomer K., Charles, and Lyman 
 Jenks, William, Simeon, and James Houghtaling, Eli, Elihu, David, and 
 George Giliet, Leonard Parker, Daniel and Joseph Caulkins, and Nathan 
 Mattoon. Albert S. Giliet came in this year and became a prominent man 
 in the town, as did also his brother Lorenzo P. 
 
 In 1808 Leonard Bullock commenced the erection of a saw-mill on Sandy 
 Creek, on lot 7, but it was never completed. In 1810 Joshua Miles built a 
 saw and grist-mill under one roof, on Sandy Creek, east of the Corners. He 
 operated the mills five or six years, then sold to Timothy Greenly, who, in 
 turn, sold to Abner Rising. These were the first mills in the town, and for 
 a long time the grist-mill was the only one of the kind. Previous to its erec- 
 tion the settlers carried their grain to Adams or Whitesville. In 1816 a sec- 
 ond saw-mill was built, by Joseph Wilcox and Green Kellogg, near the 
 Corners, on the site of the present grist-mill. To erect the latter a company 
 was formed in 1856, composed of A. S. Giliet, L. P. Giliet, Abel Case, Ster- 
 ling Wilcox, Leonard Parker, Horace R. Chafin, and Boomer K. Jenks, who 
 bought the mill site of John Henderson, and gave it, together with a cash 
 bounty, to Pealer and Fox, who erected the mill in 186 1, now the property 
 of Samuel B. Kellogg. In 1857 Abel Case built a sawmill just below the 
 first mill, which afterwards became the property of A. S. Giliet. 
 
 The first district school in Worth was taught in Asaph Case's barn by a 
 Mrs. Nobles, about 1807. Ten or twelve pupils attended. In 1808 Ruel 
 Canfield taught a school in a part of Timothy Greenly's house, in Rodman, 
 near the " Corners.'' Miss Betsey Bugbee taught a school in a log house, a 
 few years latter, in what is known as district No. 2. About this time a log 
 school-house was erected at the " Corners," which, in 1830, gave place to 
 other small log and frame houses, in which A. S. Giliet taught for a number 
 of years.

 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Union Church at Worthville, a neat and commodious wooden build- 
 ing, was erected in 1875, at a cost of about $2,600. Although the church is 
 free to other denominations it has been occupied principally by the Metho- 
 dists, who have held regular services for several years. The pulpit has been 
 occupied by Revs. Fulford, Le Clair, Crofut, and Earnest. The trustees of 
 the church are L. D. Monroe, L. D. Spalsbury, Levi Wilcox, Oren Greenly, 
 • George Kellogg, and W. P. Ackley.

APPENDIX. 
 
 COLONIAL JUDICIARY ACT. 
 
 THE following act, which was passed in the firstyear of the regular govern- 
 ment of the province of NewYork, is not only historically curious, but 
 more important than any other of the acts of the colonial legislature ; for 
 its provisions have not, like most of theirs, ceased to be seen or felt in our 
 present institutions, but are obviously the foundation and frame of our judicial 
 system as it now exists, and may be distinctly traced in the constitution of 
 almost all our courts. This act is not now to be found, except in a copy of 
 an edition of the Colonial Session Laws published by Bradford in 1694, and 
 preserved in the society library of the city of New York. It appears to have 
 been unknown to all the revisers and compilers of the statutes down to this 
 time, by whom it has been supposed to be lost. It was passed originally in 
 April or May, 1691, to continue for two years ; and on the nth of Novem- 
 ber, 1692, was reenacted for two years more, without alteration, except 
 directing that the Supreme Court should be held in the other counties be- 
 sides New York, and that one of the judges should go the circuit into 
 those counties. It was again continued for two years more, and finally, in 
 1697, it appears to have been permanently continued, without any limitation 
 •of its duration, and never to have been repealed. Livingston and Smith, and 
 Van Schaack, speak of it as lost, and could not have known of a copy of 
 Bradford's edition of 1694. Van Ness and Woodworth could not have 
 known of it, as they mention Bradford's edition of 17 10 as the earliest edi- 
 tion extant; while neither that nor Bradford's editions of 17 13 or 1726 con- 
 tain the act, but merely give its title. Van Ness and Woodworth mention 
 this and the acts continuing it, but consider the Supreme Court as regulated 
 and fixed by certain ordinances of the governor and council, which (as well 
 as the act of 1683, conferring civil jurisdiction upon courts of Sessions and 
 Oyer and Terminer) they give in the appendix to their edition. 
 
 It is to be inferred from these ordinances that the legislative act was for 
 some reason considered as having ceased to operate, although there is no 
 evidence of its having expired ; and the court was undoubtedly held by vir- 
 tue of the ordinances, and not of the law ; but this does not diminish the

 877- 
 
 importance of the act itself, as the ordinances are mere transcripts of it, and 
 intended only to continue its provisions; and as the ordinances were not 
 considered as of the same force as legislative acts, but rather as temporary 
 and provisional regulations, and could not, therefore, have conferred that 
 character of strength and perpetuity upon the constitution of the courts, 
 which from their duration it is evident that they must have originally 
 received. Smith, who published his history in 1756, alludes to the inade- 
 quacy of these ordinances for the establishment of courts of justice. He 
 says: " As this act of 1691 was a temporary law it may hereafter be disputed, 
 as it has been already, whether the present establishment of our courts, for 
 general jurisdiction, by an ordinance, can consist even with the preceding 
 act, or the general rules of law."

 On November 6, 1887, occurred the most disastrous conflagration that 
 ever visited the village of Clayton. The fire originated about 4 p. m. in the 
 Porter block, on James street, and spread rapidly on that street and on John 
 street. The principal sufferers were D. C. Porter & Son, W. A. Webster,

 The graded school. — The school grounds, consisting of several acres, and 
 upon which the Friends meeting-house was located, were purchased in 
 December, 1869, of the Friends Society, and fitted up for school purposes.

 1880 the present handsome and commodious building was erected at a cost 
 of over $4,000. S. B. Scofield was the builder. It is two stories high, with 
 a mansard roof and tower. There are four teachers and a registration of

CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECIORY 
 
 JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
 
 The towns are alphabetically aiTanged at the end of the line, under the business classifi- 
 cations. The postof&oe address of each individual or firm follows after the name, except in 
 cases where the name of the postoffice and the township are the same. In the villages the name 
 of the street is generally given, and precedes that of the postoffice. The classification of 
 farmers is omitted in this list, as they can readily be found in the general list, by noting the 
 figures at the end of the line, which indicate the number of acres owned or leased by each. 
 Bead numbers signify the same as in the general list. 
 
 Jf representations in this list vary from the general directory it is in accordance with 
 later information.
