INTRODUCTION. 
 
 There is something in the picture of the generations gone before us, 
 of their achievements and projects; of their manners, pursuits and at- 
 tainments; of their mode of thinking and acting; which, going beyond 
 the gratification of curiosity, or storing the mind with mere ideas, 
 teaches us wisdom by the comparison of their situation with our own, 
 and by a great variety of interesting reflections naturally suggested to 
 our thoughts. 
 
 In the sketches and reminiscences embodied here, correctness and 
 truth have been aimed at throughout. If these have been departed 
 from it arises from false information and not from a desire to mislead, 
 under-rate or overdraw. 
 
 The difficulties attending an enterprise of this nature are greatly in- 
 creased by the apathy and indifference of many individuals of whom 
 information is solicited; and the same persons who neglect or refuse to 
 give information are the first to complain of the errors or incompleteness 
 of a work when published. But amid the many discouragements of 
 this kind, it becomes a pleasant duty to mention in this place the 
 names of a few of the numerous friends whose kindly sympathy and in- 
 telligent aid have lent a cheering influence in these most difficult labors. 
 Among these are Ansel J. McCall, of Bath; Dr. George W. Pratt, of 
 Corning; Hon. Russell M. Tuttle, Miles W. Hawley and I. W. Near, 
 of Homellsville; Joshua C. Stephens and L. A. Waldo, of Canisteo; 
 Elisha G. Stephens, of Fremont; Alonzo Deyo, of Caton; the late Syl- 
 vester Brown, of Woodhull; John Miles, of Cameron Mills; Hon. A. C. 
 Barney, of West Union; Lyman Aulls, of North Urbana, chairman of 
 the board of supervisors, and Valentine Bouton, clerk of the board; the 
 late Thomas Warner, of Cohocton; Timothy M. Younglove and J. 
 Hervey Hodgkin, of Hammondsport; the late Myron Patchin, of Way- 
 land; Jacob Wheeler, of North Urbana; Mr. Minier, of Painted Post; 
 Col. John W. Dininny, of Addison; the late Gen. Otto F. Marshall, of

 effort, will be found credited in the pages where their work appears. 
 
 The Publisher desires to acknowledge his obligations to those citi- 
 zens of the county who, by their patronage, have enabled him to bring 
 this work to completion. Especially are his thanks due to the clergy 
 throughout the county, and to the editors and managers of the county 
 newspapers for essential aid rendered. 
 
 Valuable assistance has been derived from consulting the following : 
 Adams' "History of New England;" Smith's "History of New York;" 
 Spafford's "Gazetteer of New York;" (editions of 1813 and 1824); Gor- 
 don's "Gazetteer of New York;" Clarke's "Onondaga;" Miner's "His- 
 tory of Wyoming;" Hodgkin's "History of Western New York;" Tur- 
 ner's "History of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase; ' ' Turner's ' ' Pioneer

 tennial History of Painted Post;" W. W.Ckryton's "History of Steuben 
 County;" The "State Geologist's Report," and other state, county and 
 town documents, and in numerous pamphlets and manuscripts kindly 
 loaned. 
 
 It is here suggested that the patrons of this work carefully read the 
 explanations on page 3, Part Second. More than ordinary care has 
 been exercised in collecting and compiling the information contained 
 in that department. Still, in the time required to complete this work 
 in a county so large and thickly populated as Steuben, deaths have 
 occurred and changes have necessarily taken place. However, correc- 
 tions have been made to date so far as it was possible to obtain infor- 
 mation, and such errors as have been noted in the reading of the proofs 
 will be found corrected in the Errata. 
 
 With a reasonable degree of confidence that its deficiencies will be 
 charitably regarded by those who are best qualified to judge, the work 
 is respectfully submitted by

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 ' ' Tribes of the solemn League ! from ancient seats 
 Swept by the whites like autumn leaves away, 
 Faint are your records of heroic feats 
 And few the traces of your former sway."* 
 
 Aborigines— Origin and Antiquity of— Tribes of the League— Tradition- 
 ary Account of the Formation of the League — Their Form of Govern- 
 ment — Extent of Dominion — Treaties with the Confederacy. 
 
 BY those most deeply versed in the subject, it is supposed that there 
 were three distinct nations of North American Indians. These 
 were the Leni-Lenape, or Delawares, the Mengue or Iroquois, and 
 the Algonquins. Of these the Leni-L,enape and Iroquois were the prin- 
 cipal inhabitants east of the Mississippi and south of the great lakes. 
 But these were divided and subdivided into innumerable tribes with 
 unutterable names, and speaking dialects so different as to bear little 
 resemblance to the parent language. Mr. Jefferson speaks of tribes on 
 the Potomac and James rivers who could not converse but through an 
 interpreter, so little resemblance was there in the dialects of even neigh- 
 boring tribes. 
 
 Without attempting to pursue the general history of the Indian 
 -nations, we proceed directly to the matter which concerns our imme- 
 diate subject. 
 
 As soon as savage policy and power could be at all comprehended 
 by the first European settlers in Virginia, Plymouth and New York, 
 it was found that the Iroquois or Mengue were five united nations, 
 situated north of the blue mountains, amid the lesser lakes and on the 
 head waters of the Hudson, the Delaware and the Susquehanna, claim -

 as the ' ' Bard of Avon. ' '

 ing empire and exacting homage through a vast extent of territory. 
 These nations were the Mohawks, whose principal towns were adjacent 
 to the Mohawk river ; the Oneidas, in the vicinity of Oneida lake ; the 
 Onondagas, near the Onondaga lake ; the Cayugas, on Cayuga lake ; 
 and the Senecas, whose territory in the state of New York compre- 
 hended all that part of the state which lies west of Seneca lake, and 
 which was formerly denominated the Genesee country. These nations 
 were called by the French the Iroquois, by the English the Five Nations, 
 and sometimes, on account of their union with each other, the Con- 
 federates. 
 
 It would require a volume to set forth distinctly and in sufficiently 
 bold relief, the extent of dominion, the absolute sovereignty, the pro- 
 found policy and the imperial sway of this once proud, ambitious, 
 warlike people. Rome in the zenith of her power, did not exercise 
 dominion as empress of the earth with more dictatorial and absolute 
 sway, than the Iroquois Confederacy. 
 
 In the year 17 12, the Tuscaroras, a tribe of Indians whose residence 
 was in North Carolina, being driven from their possessions by a hostile 
 tribe, emigrated northward, and were hospitably received by the Con- 
 federates, and adopted as the sixth nation in the Confederacy, and 
 territory was given them by the Iroquois. 
 
 At the time of the settlement of New York by the Dutch in 16 10, 
 there were in that immediate vicinity numerous tribes of Indians, de- 
 nominated from their weakness and inferiority " the Bushes," by their 
 more powerful neighbors, the Five Nations. In 1786, the remnants of 
 two of these tribes took up their abode among the Oneidas, whither 
 they had been invited. 
 
 A statement of some general conclusions arrived at by eminent stu- 
 dents of Indian archaeology will be found to have a bearing upon the 
 origin of the aboriginal tribes. Wilson, in his work entitled Prehistoric 
 Man, concurring in an opinion advanced long before his time observes : 
 "Some analogies confirm the probability of a portion of the North 
 American stock having entered the continent from Asia by Behring's 
 Strait or the Aleutian islands, and more probably by the latter than 
 the former." But Morgan, in his Indian Migrations, emphasizes this 
 opinion by cogent arguments, which tend to prove that the aboriginal 
 peopling of North America began at the Northwest coast and spread 
 by degrees southward and eastward, till in process of time the remotest 
 portions of the continent were occupied. That this race was of Tartar 
 origin, many analogies and evidences seem to prove, — "physical con- 
 siderations, and the types of man in northeastern Asia point to this 
 section of Asia as the source and to the Aleutian islands as the probable 
 avenue of this antecedent migration." But again, "the systems of 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 consanguinity and affinity of several Asiatic stocks agree with that of 
 the American aborigines. ' ' This remarkable fact bears with equal force 
 upon the original identity of the North American tribes, affording, says 
 Morgan, "the strongest evidence yet obtained of the unity of origin 
 of the Indian nations within the region we have defined." And this 
 is further strengthened by the uniform agreement in the structure of 
 their languages and their stage of development, — though the languages 
 themselves form many dialects, of which the Algonquin and Iroquois are 
 taken as the two principal representative groups. 
 
 At what period and for what purpose the league was originally form- 
 ed, is a matter wholly speculative, as the records of history and Indian 
 tradition are alike uncertain, and throw but feeble light upon the sub- 
 ject. It is supposed, however, that anciently, they were separate and 
 independent hations, and probably warred with an equal relish upon 
 each other as upon their neighbors, and perhaps finally united them- 
 selves for purposes of greater strength and security, thereby enlarging 
 their power and importance at home, enabling them to prosecute more 
 vigorously their conquests abroad. Common danger or a desire for 
 conquest were the motives, rather than a far-seeing policy which must 
 have actuated these people to form a league of consolidation. 
 
 The time of the formation of the great league of confederation is very 
 uncertain, as the periods given by various authors differ materially. 
 From the following tradition, we are inclined to the opinion that the 
 period is unknown, and the time lost in the clouded uncertainties of 
 the past. 
 
 Hundreds of years ago,Ta-oun-ya-wat-ha, the deity who presides over 
 fisheries and streams, came down from his dwelling place in the clouds 
 to visit the good inhabitants of the earth. He had been deputed by the 
 great and good spirit Na-wah-ne-u, to visit the streams and clear the 
 channels from all obstructions, to seek out the good things of the coun- 
 try through which he intended to pass, that they might be more gener- 
 ally disseminated among all the good people of the earth; especially to 
 point out to them the most excellent fishing grounds and to bestow 
 upon them other acceptable gifts. 
 
 Of the events which succeeded his adventure we have not time nor 
 disposition to write, only that many of them were truly marvelous, and 
 worthy a place only in the pages of Indian mythology. 
 
 Pleased with the success of his undertaking, the spirit man now re- 
 solved to lay aside his divine character, and to make his abode among 
 the children of men. After awhile he totally relinquished his divine 
 title of Ta-oun-ya-wat-ha, and in all respects assumed the character and 
 habits of a man. The name of Hi-a-wat-ha, signifying very wise man, 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 was awarded him by the whole mass of people, who now resorted to 
 him from all quarters for advice and instruction. 
 
 After a quiet residence of a few years within territory afterward the 
 domain of the Onondaga tribe, the country became greatly alarmed by 
 the sudden approach of a ferocious band of warriors from the north of 
 the great lakes. As they advanced, indiscriminate slaughter was made 
 of men, women and children. Many had been slain, and ultimate de- 
 struction seemed to be the consequence, either of bold resistance, or of 
 a quiet relinquishment of absolute right. 
 
 During this agitation of the public mind, people from all quarters 
 thronged the dwelling place of Hi-a-wat-ha, for advice in this trying 
 emergency. After a deep and thoughtful contemplation of the mo- 
 mentous subject, he informed the principal chiefs that his opinion was to 
 call a grand council of all the tribes that could be gathered from the 
 east and from the west, that the advice of all might be received, " for , " 
 said he, " our safety is in good counsel, and speedy, energetic action." 
 Accordingly, runners were dispatched in all directions, notifying the 
 head men of a grand council to be held on the banks of lake Oh-nen-ta- 
 ha* 
 
 In due time the chiefs and warriors from far and near were assem- 
 bled, with great numbers of men, women and children, to hold this im- 
 portant council and to devise means for the general safety. 
 
 Hi-a-wat-ha was conducted to the presence of the council, a conspic- 
 uous place was assigned to him, and all eyes were turned toward the 
 man who could, with precision foretell their future destiny. The sub- 
 ject of the invasion was discussed by several of the ablest counsel- 
 lors and boldest warriors. Various schemes were proposed for the re- 
 pulsion of the enemy. Hi-a-wat-ha listened in silence till the speeches 
 of all were concluded. His opinion was gravely and earnestly sought 
 by many of the surrounding chiefs. 
 
 The wise man said: "This is a subject that requires mature reflec- 
 tion and deliberation. It is not fitting that one of so much importance 
 should be treated lightly, or that our decision should be hasty and in- 
 considerate ; let us postpone our deliberations for one day, that we may 
 Weigh well the words of the wise chiefs and warriors who have spoken . 
 Then I will communicate to you my plan for consideration. It is one 
 which I am confident will succeed and ensure our safety." 
 
 After another day's delay, the council again assembled, and all were 
 anxious to hear the words of Hi-a-wat-ha. A breathless silence ensued, 
 and the venerable counsellor began:

 ' 'Friends and Brothers : — You are members of many tribes and na- 
 tions. You have come here, many of you a great distance from your 
 homes. We have convened for one common purpose, to promote one 
 common interest, and that is to provide for our mutual safety, and how 
 it shall best be accomplished. To oppose the hordes of northern foes 
 by tribes, singly or alone, would prove our certain destruction; we can 
 make no progress in that way; we must unite ourselves into one com- 
 mon band of brothers. Our warriors united, would surely repel these 
 rude invaders and drive them from our borders. This must be done and 
 we shall be safe. 
 
 You — the Mohawks, sitting under the shadow of the " Great Tree," 
 whose roots sink deep into the earth and whose branches spread over a 
 vast country ; shall be the first nation because you are warlike and 
 mighty. 
 
 And you — Oneidas, a people who recline your bodies against the 
 " Everlasting Stone," that cannot be moved, shall be the second nation 
 because you give wise counsel. 
 
 And you — Ouondagas, who have your habitation at the " Great 
 Mountain" and are overshadowed by its craigs, shall be the third na- 
 tion because you are greatly gifted in speech, and mighty in war. 
 
 And you — Cayugas , a people whose habitation is the ' ' Dark Forest ' ' 
 and whose home is everywhere, shall be the fourth nation ; because of 
 your superior cunning in hunting. 
 
 And you — Senecas, a people who live in the " Open Country " and 
 possess much wisdom, shall be the fifth nation ; because you under- 
 stand better the art of raising corn and beans, and making cabins. 
 
 You, five great and powerful nations, must unite and have but one 
 common interest, and no foe shall be able to subdue you. 
 
 And you — Manhattoes, Nyacks, Montauks and others, who are as the 
 feeble "Bushes;" and j r ou — Narragansetts, Mohicans, Wampanoags 
 and your neighbors who area" Fishing People, ' ' may place yourselves 
 under our protection. Be with us and we will defend you. You of 
 the south, and you of the west, may do the same and we will protect 
 you. We earnestly desire your alliance and friendship. 
 
 Brothers — If we unite in this bond, the Great Spirit will smile upon 
 us, and we shall be free, prosperous and happy. But if we remain as 
 we are we shall be subject to his frown ; we shall be enslaved, ruined, 
 perhaps annihilated forever. We shall perish and our names be blotted 
 out from among the nations of men. 
 
 Brothers — These are the words of Hi-a-wat-ha — let them sink deep 
 into your hearts — I have said it." 
 
 A long silence ensued, the words of the wise man had made a deep 
 impression on the minds of all. They unanimously declared the sub- 
 
IO STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 ject too weighty for immediate decision. "Let us," said the brave 
 warriors and chiefs, "adjourn the council for one da}-, then we will 
 respond." On the morrow the council again assembled. After due 
 deliberation, the speech of the wise man was declared to be good and 
 worthy of adoption. 
 
 Immediately upon this was formed the celebrated Aquinuschioni or 
 Amphyctionic league of the great confederacy of the Five Nations. 
 
 After the business of the great council had been brought to a close, 
 and the assembly were on the eve of separation, Hi-a-wat-ha arose in a 
 dignified manner, and said : 
 
 Friends and Brothers: — "I have now fulfilled my mission upon earth, 
 I haye done everything which can be done at present for the good of 
 this great people. Age, infirmity and distress sit heavy upon me. 
 During my sojourn with you, I have removed all obstructions from the 
 streams. Canoes can now pass safely everywhere. I have given you 
 good fishing waters and good hunting grounds. I have taught you the 
 manner of cultivating corn and beans and the art of making cabins. 
 Many other blessings I have liberally bestowed upon you. 
 
 "Lastly, I have now assisted \-ou to form an everlasting league and 
 covenant of strength and friendship for your future safety and protec- 
 tion. If you preserve it, without the admission of other people, you 
 will always be free, numerous and mighty. If other nations are ad- 
 mitted to your councils, they will sow jealousies among 3'ou, and you 
 will become enslaved, few and feeble. Remember these words, they 
 are the last you will hear from the lips of Hi-a-wat-ha. Listen, my 
 friends, the Great Master-of- Breath calls me to go. I have patiently 
 waited his summons. I am ready; farewell."* 
 
 The government of the Iroquois, when their power was supreme , 
 and their prosperity unbounded, was a sort of Oligarchy mixed with 
 Democrac} 1 '; having a representative and popular voice. It consisted of 
 a republican and hereditary form combined. Business transactions of a 
 national character were carried on by the head chiefs of the nations, 
 and were ratified or rejected in general councils. Decisions made by 
 the chief of a nation only affected that particular nation. But all de- 
 cisions of the united chiefs of the confederacy, when not rejected in 
 general council, became decrees from which there could be no appeal. 
 
 The Iroquois tribes, the original inhabitants of Western New York, 
 were nearly the sole occupants here until a period subsequent to the 
 war of the revolution. At this time the country was an unbroken wil- 
 derness with the exception of some small tracts cultivated by the In- 
 dians for the raising of corn and a few other vegetables, in the vicinity 
 
 *Clarke's Onondaga. 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. II 
 
 of their towns or places of residence. The remainder of the land was 
 wholly unoccupied by them, except as a ground for hunting. In the 
 war of the revolution, the only tribe of the Six Nations remaining 
 friendly to the Americans was the Oneida tribe — the others were per- 
 suaded to join the British. 
 
 After peace with Great Britain had been established and our national 
 independence secured, measures were taken to establish a lasting peace 
 with the Six Nations. Accordingly, a commission was appointed to 
 negotiate a treaty with them, which met the Indians at Fort Stanwix — 
 now Rome — on the Mohawk river, and on October 22, 1784, a treaty 
 between the Six Nations and the United States was established. 
 
 Through the negotiation of subsequent treaties and for various con- 
 siderations, most of the territory of the state of New York east of the 
 pre-emption line, with the exception of certain reservations, was deeded 
 to the state by the Six Nations, the original owners of the soil. 
 
 This territory had been for centuries subject to the authority of the 
 confederacy, and their domineering spirit is spoken of and incidents are 
 related showing their assumption of power over surrounding tribes and 
 a vast additional territory. 
 
 In 1669 there was war between the Mohawks and Massachusetts In- 
 dians, which had raged for several years. Six or seven hundred war- 
 riors under the command of a great chief, Chikataubutt, a wise and 
 stout man, were led out two hundred miles to attack a Mohawk fort. 
 They were repelled and ambushed on their retreat, and a great fight en- 
 sued. "What was most calamitous in this disastrous expedition, ' ' says 
 the historian, "was the loss of the great chief Chikataubutt, who, after 
 performing prodigies of valor, was killed in repelling the Mohawks in 
 their last attack, with almost all his captains. ' ' The overthrow ot this 
 six or seven hundred warriors was manifestly total. It is evident that 
 long before this period (1669), the Mohawk power had been established, 
 probably for centuries. No date has ever been given when the neigh- 
 boring nations were finally subdued. The Mohawks claimed, not that 
 now they had conquered the Massachusetts Indians, but that for an in- 
 definite period they had been their vassals. In the history of New 
 England Indians, at a period thirty years previous to the defeat and 
 death of Chikataubutt we have an account of a great sachem of the 
 Narragansetts who was slain by the Mohawks. "In the beginning of 
 July, 1676, these Indians, who were known by the name of Mangua- 
 wogs, or Mohawks — i. e., man eaters — had lately fallen on Philip — the 
 renowned Narragansett chief, whose Indian name was Pometacom — 
 and killed forty of his men. ' ' 
 
 The New York historian, Smith, sets forth: "When the Dutch be- 
 gan the settlement of New York, all the Indians on Long Island and 
 
12 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 the northern shore of the Sound, on the banks of the Hudson, Delaware 
 and Susquehanna rivers, were in subjection to the Five Nations. ' ' The 
 same author asserts that within the memory of persons then living, a 
 small tribe on the Hudson paid an annual tribute of twenty pounds to 
 the Mohawks. 
 
 In August, 1689, the Iroquois sent out an army of twelve hundred 
 warriors, who attacked Montreal, burned the houses, sacked the plan- 
 tations, and slew great numbers of the French. 
 
 Smith further says, in 1756, "These Indians (Iroquois) universally 
 concur in the claim of all lands not sold to the English, from the mouth 
 of Sorel River, on the south side of lakes Erie and Ontario, on both 
 sides of the Mississippi, and on the north side of those lakes," etc. 
 
 " Charlevoix, long since described the Wyandots, as the nation of 
 all Canada, the most remarkable for its defects and virtues. When 
 Jacques Carrier ascended the St. Lawrence he found them estab- 
 lished near Hockelega, now Montreal: and when Champlain entered the 
 same river their war with the Iroquois had ahead}- commenced, and 
 that enterprising officer accompanied one of their parties in a hostile 
 expedition against their enemies. The events of the war were most 
 disastrous, and they were driven from their country to the northern 
 shore of Lake Huron. But distance afforded no security, and the Iro- 
 quois pursued them with relentless fury. Famine, disease and war 
 made frightful havoc among them, and the account of their sufferings 
 given by the old missionaries, who witnessed and shared them, almost 
 tasks the belief of the reader. * * * They were literally hunted 
 from their resting place, and the feeble remnant of this once powerful 
 and haughty tribe owed their preservation to the protection of the 
 Sioux, in whose country, west of Lake Superior, they found safety and 
 tranquility."* 
 
 Surely, that nation must have been tremendous in its power and ter- 
 rible in its wrath, that could thus nearly exterminate a powerful tribe, 
 hunting them through twenty degrees of longitude. Nor can it be 
 doubted that the western Indians as far as Lake Superior, must have 
 been obedient allies or trembling vassals of this mighty confederacy. 
 
 " In war concerns," says Heckewelder, speaking of the Iroquois, 
 " they assumed an authority over man}- other nations, so that they only 
 had to dictate, and others to obey. Not only those inhabiting Penn- 
 sylvania, but those dwelling within the limits of other provinces, and 
 the adjacent country, together with the Western, or Lake Indians, were

 called upon by the Six Nations to join the conflict, and such among 
 them as were averse to war, were threatened with destruction if they 
 did not join them." 
 
 Illustrative of the point in question, we may here relate, that Mary Jame- 
 son was taken prisoner from the lower part of Pennsylvania, in 1755, 
 by a band of Senecas. Many years after, she married Hiokatoo, an 
 Indian warrior in the Seneca tribe. Relating to her the events of his 
 youth, Hiokatoo stated, that in 1730, then about twenty years of age, 
 he was appointed a runner to collect an army to go against the Cataw- 
 bas, Cherokees, and other southern Indians. He told of a battle in 
 which twelve hundred of the enemy were slain, spoke of adventures on 
 the Mobile, and of being two years upon one expedition.

 THE Senecas, from the earliest times, have been the most numerous 
 and powerful of the Five Nations. They have always been far- 
 ther advanced in agriculture and the arts than their neighbors, 
 and if oratory, statesmanship and determined opposition to the encroach- 
 ments of the whites be taken into account, they may be said to stand in 
 the foremost rank. With their neighbors, the Tuscaroras, they have 
 yielded more readily to the advantages of education. Several of their 
 young men and maidens entered the schools of the whites, and became 
 noted for their scholarship and learning. The Senecas have always 
 been celebrated for the talents of their statesmen and orators. Corn- 
 Planter, Red Jacket, Farmer's Brother, Handsome Lake and others of 
 scarcely less distinction, wielded a power and influence among the In- 
 dian nations that will cause them to be long remembered as a noble and 
 illustrious people. 
 
 According to accounts given by some who accompanied Sullivan in 
 his expedition through the country of the Senecas in 1779, their villages

 •were places of comparative elegance, and the country appeared like a 
 beautiful and flourishing garden. 
 
 A better illustration of their advancement in the arts of civilization, 
 cannot perhaps be given, than that presented in Stones ' ' Life of Brant, ' ' 
 wherein he pictures the destruction wrought by the invading army. 
 ' ' The axe and the torch, ' ' he says, ' ' soon transformed the whole of that 
 beautiful region from the character of a garden to a scene of drear and 
 sickening desolation. Forty Indian towns, the largest containing one 
 hundred and twenty-eight houses, were destroyed; -corn, gathered and 
 ungathered to the amount of one hundred and sixty thousand bushels, 
 shared the same fate; their fruit-tre'es were cut down; and the Indians 
 were hunted like wild beasts, till neither house nor fruit-tree, nor field 
 of corn, nor inhabitant remained in the whole country. The gardens 
 were enriched with great quantities of useful vegetables of different 
 kinds. The size of the corn fields, as well as the high degree of culti- 
 vation in which they were kept, excited wonder; and the ears of corn 
 were so remarkably large, that many of them measured twenty -two 
 inches in length. 
 
 "So numerous were the fruit-trees, that in one orchard they cut 
 down fifteen hundred of them." 
 
 Several towns were destroyed on the return of the army b}- detach- 
 ments sent into the region of Caj'Uga lake and elsewhere. That de- 
 tachments of the army were sent up the Chemung, above Elmira, both 
 on their arrival at Newtown on August 31 , 1779, and after their return — 
 September 27 and 28 — is evident from several published documents. 
 
 The late Gen. John S. Clark, of Auburn, X. Y., who had a volu- 
 minous collection of papers pretaining to the campaign of Sullivan , and 
 who had studied that subject as well as the Indian antiquities of this 
 state, believed there were three villages destroyed on the Chemung 
 above Elmira — one at or near Big Flats, another near the present site 
 of Corning, and the third at Painted Post. 
 
 Gen. Sullivan in his official report says: 
 
 " From this place, — Elmira — Col. Dayton was detached with his regi- 
 ment and the rifle corps up the Tioga about six miles, who destroyed 
 several large fields of corn . ' ' 
 
 The following is from Canfield's Journal: "August 31. Col. Dayton 
 was detached to follow the enemy up the Chemung, but could not over- 
 take them, but came to an Indian town which he destroyed, and also 
 the corn . ' ' 
 
 Col. Hubley says under date of September 27, "The detachment or- 
 dered to march j-esterday moved this morning up the Tioga branch to 
 an Indian village about twelve miles from this place, with orders to des- 
 troy the same. At dark this evening the detachment which moved this 
 morning returned, after destroying a considerable quantity of corn, 
 beans, and other vegetables, sixteen boat-loads of which they brought 
 with them for the use of the army. They also burned a small village. ' '

 James Norris says: "Sept. 28, the same party that was sent yester- 
 day was sent again to-day farther up the river to destroy a Tory settle- 
 ment that a small party discovered yesterday." 
 
 Speaking of this "Tory Settlement," General Clark says: "This 
 last place, according to the accounts, appears to have been at Painted 
 Post where was also a considerable village in 1764, called Assinnisink, 
 a Monsey town near the confluence of the Canisteo and Tioga. It was 
 the residence of Jacheabus, the leader of the war party that committed 
 the massacre of the Mahoney in 1755. The exact location of this most 
 ancient town is somewhat uncertain. The Pennsylvania Historical 
 Map places it in the forks of the two rivers in the town of Erwin." 
 
 There can be no doubt but that some one of the detachments sent up 
 the Chemung penetrated this county as far as the confluence of the Can- 
 isteo and Tioga rivers, and destroyed all crops, buildings and orchards, 
 which were in iheir way. When the first white settlers came into the 
 Chemung valley, the only Indian orchard that remained standing was 
 on an island about two miles above Painted Post, and which was prob- 
 ably overlooked by the devastating soldiers. The last of these apple 
 trees was cut down only two years since, and was said by the late 
 Charles Erwin, to have measured four feet in diameter. 
 
 It is claimed by some local writers, chiefly on traditional authority, 
 that a detachment .of Maxwell's brigade came up the Chemung and had 
 an engagement with the Indians at the mouth of a little creek, since 
 called Bloody Run, about two and a half miles below Corning, on the 
 north side of the river, on September 4 and 5, 1779. Others again 
 deny this, chiefly on the ground that no allusion is made to any such 
 battle or engagement in any published account of the expedition. 
 
 The Canisteo and Conhocton rivers were first made known to geog- 
 raphers near the close of the French war, by a map called " Pouchot's 
 map , ' ' found in a collection of documents pertaining to colonial times in 
 America, and known as the "Paris Documents." Pouchot prepared 
 this map in 1758, showing the English and French possessions and giving 
 therein a very accurate description of the country which was furnished 
 him by the Indians. 
 
 The ' ' Kanisteo ' ' was frequently alluded to in official correspondence 
 and was well known at Fort Niagara. One of the great trails much 
 traversed by the Iroquois Confederacy, led from the Genesee river to 
 the head of the Canisteo, thence down the valley to the Susquehenna. 
 The map indicates an Indian village on the present site of the village 
 of Canisteo, and another at Painted Post. At that time the Canisteo 
 flowed through a trackless wilderness. A solitary Indian trail passed 
 along its banks, which was intersected by a north and south trail Com 
 the head of Lake Keuka. At that time the territory west of L,ake 
 Keuka was unexplored by the whites.. 
 
1 6 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 During the colonial period there was a noted settlement of Indians 
 at Canisteo. The time of their settlement here is unknown, but it was 
 many years before the revolution, and after the Delawares had been 
 subjugated by the Six Nations, who held them in utter contempt. 
 " We have made you women ; we have put petticoats on you," was the 
 uniformly insulting language of their victors. Hence, cowering with 
 fear under the hand of the oppressor, the widespread tribes of the 
 Delawares are supposed to have given the white men a less jealous 
 reception than their masters — they lingered in the neighborhood of the 
 whites, and sought their society more. 
 
 The clan of Indians which dwelt in the region of "Kanisteo " at the 
 time when written history first alludes to them, were of Delaware ex- 
 traction we are told ; and are said to have been reduced to a low state 
 of degradation. To them had joined themselves a few-deserters from 
 the British army, with a sprinkling of fugitive slaves, escaped convicts, 
 and refugees from various Indian tribes, making altogether a class fitly 
 designated by the great council at Onondaga as ' ' stragglers from all 
 nations." 
 
 In 1762, two of these Kanisteo brigands murdered, somewhere in the 
 Seneca country, two British subjects, Dutch traders from Albany, 
 whose goods were confiscated by them and probably carried to their 
 village at Kanisteo. Sir William Johnson, the English governor on 
 the Mohawk, made prompt requisition of the head men of the Iroquois 
 league to have the murderers brought to justice. Negotiations con- 
 tinued through many months. A council was held and the answer was 
 to the effect that the Confederacy ought not to be charged with a breach 
 of friendly relations with the English on account of the acts of a pair 
 of miscreants from a village like Kanisteo. Failing to arrive at a 
 satisfactory conclusion of the matter, Sir William Johnson determined 
 to be trifled with no longer. A party of one hundred and forty Indians, 
 with a few white men, under the command of Captain Montour, a 
 half-breed war-chief, was dispatched to break up the nest. 
 
 The inhabitants fled at Montour's approach, but he destro3 r ed their 
 villages and property. The first was Kanhaugton, at Tioga Point, Pa. 
 It consisted of thirty -six good houses built of square logs and having 
 stone chimneys. The next point was a village on the "Cayuga 
 Branch, "(the Chemung) , where thirty houses of the same kind were de- 
 stroyed. Thence the party marched to Kanisteo, which the report in 
 the colonial records describes as "the largest of the Delaware towns, 
 consisting of sixty good houses with three or four fire-places in each." 
 The emissaries of justice spared nothing. The village was burned and 
 the miscellaneous inhabitants plundered. They even found in this se- 
 cluded retreat horses, horned cattle and swine, which, however, were

 in such a poor condition after the winter, that few were fit to be driven 
 away. It appears that no effort was made by the Kanisteos to defend 
 their town. 
 
 Two forts, exhibiting considerable engineering skill were discovered 
 here by the early settlers. One was situated on the bank of the river, 
 just in the neck of the defile as it opens into the valley on the east. It 
 occupied about an acre of ground, with four square corners, and was 
 enclosed by palisades or pickets. The embankment remaining when 
 the first settlers came to the place was about two feet long. At the 
 mouth of a similar opening into the valley from the south, on Colonel 
 Bill's creek, was another fort of about the same size and construction, 
 which seems to have been designed as a place of retreat in case the first 
 fort was taken by the enemy. 
 
 Although no mention is made of a fort in the brief record of the ex- 
 pedition, and it is stated, or at least implied, that the Kanisteos made 
 no resistance; yet the forts, or the main fort below the town may not 
 have been garrisoned at the time of the invasion, and may have been 
 passed by unnoticed, as it stood about fifteen rods from the bank of the 
 river. At all events, these forts were here when the early settlers came 
 to the country and the most reasonable supposition is that they were 
 built by the band of outlaws destroyed by Sir William Johnson's expe- 
 dition in the spring of 1764. 
 
 Very soon after the establishment of the independence of the states in 
 1683, the enterprise of American citizens was directed to the develop- 
 ment of the natural advantages of the country. Before the war of the 
 revolution, the inhabited parts of the colony of New York were limited 
 to less than a tenth of its possessions. A narrow belt of country, ex- 
 tending for a short distance on either side of the Hudson, with a similar 
 occupation on the banks of the Mohawk, together with the islands of 
 Manhattan and Staten, and a few insulated settlements on chosen lands 
 along the margins of streams, composed the country which was then 
 inhabited by less than two hundred thousand souls. 
 
 As late as 1786, the march of civilization had halted at the eastern 
 line of the Indian territory, subsequently known as the pre-emption 
 lands of the state of New York. After the revolution, the state of 
 Massachusetts by virtue of the charter granted by James I. to the 
 Plymouth Colony, and because of the alleged fealty of the confederacy 
 to the British, claimed the entire Indian territory of the state. 
 
 This charter was granted in 1620, and embraced a tract extending 
 along the Atlantic coast from 40 to 48 north latitude, and extended 
 across the continent to the Pacific ocean. It comprised almost half of 
 the entire territory embraced at present in the United States and was 
 called New England. 
 
1 8 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 Sir Henry Roswell and several other gentlemen who dwelt about 
 Dorchester, petitioned for a royal charter under the impression that their 
 power would be thereby increased. A charter of incorporation was 
 granted by King Charles I., constituting them a body politic by the 
 name of "the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay, in 
 New England," with as ample power as was possessed by any other 
 corporation in the realm of England. The patent recited the 
 grant of American territory to the council of Plymouth and re-granted 
 Masachusetts Bay to Sir Henry Roswell and others, and accordingly, 
 on March 19, 1627, the Plymouth Company deeded to these gentlemen 
 a part of the original grant, extending in breadth along the Atlantic 
 coast one hundred and forty miles and continuing the same breadth 
 across the continent to the Pacific ocean. Under this grant the colony 
 of Massachusetts was established. 
 
 Henry Hudson, an Englishma.., in the year 1609, under a commis- 
 sion from the King of England, discovered Long Island, Manhattan, 
 and the river which bears his name, and afterward sold the country — 
 or his interest therein — to the Dutch. The Dutch writers contend that 
 Hudson was sent out by the East India company in 1609, to discover 
 a northwest passage to China; and that having first discovered Delaware 
 Bay, he penetrated up Hudson River as far north as the latitude of 43 °. 
 It is said, however, that there was a sale, and that the English objected 
 to it, though they for some time neglected to oppose the Dutch settle- 
 ment of the country. 
 
 In 1664, Charles II. of England, having ascended the throne, disre- 
 garded the Dutch claim on New Netherland, and made a grant to his 
 brother, the Duke of York and Albany, which included all the main- 
 land of New England, beginning at St. Croix, extending to the rivers 
 Connecticut and Hudson "together with the said river called Hudson's 
 river, and all the lands from the west side of Connecticut river to the 
 east side of Delaware Bay." This constituted the province of New 
 York. 
 
 As before stated, Massachusetts, by virtue of the King James grant to 
 the Plymouth Colony, clung to the title thus obtained. In view of the 
 bad feeling engendered among the settlers in Pennsylvania on account 
 of a similar claim made by the state of Connecticut and which ulti- 
 mately resulted in bloodshed and war, the differences between the 
 states of Massachusetts and New York were compromised by represent- 
 atives of these two states, assembled in convention at Hartford, Conn., 
 in 1786, commonly called the " Hartford Convention."* By action of 
 
 *A convention which met at Hartford in December, 1814, is also denominated the 
 " Hartford Convention." The war of that period was the cause that induced the 
 New England States to call this latter convention.

 this body the pre-emption right of soil was ceded to Massachusetts and 
 the sovereignty of territory to the state of New York. 
 
 Massachusetts was ceded the right of pre-emption of the soil from 
 the native Indians to about 230,000 acres of land north of Pennsylvania 
 between the Chenango and Owego rivers, commonly called the " Mass- 
 achusetts Ten Townships," and also to all lands of New York west of 
 a line begining at the center of the 82d mile stone on the north bound- 
 ary of Pennsylvania and running due north and terminating at Sodus 
 Bay on Lake Ontario, except one mile in width along Niagara river. 
 This tract became known as the " Genesee Tract." 
 
 In April, 1787, Messrs. Nathaniel Gorham, of Massachusetts, and 
 Oliver Phelps, of Connecticut, purchased the pre-emption right to all 
 that part of the state which lies west of this meridian or pre-emption 
 line.* 
 
 Having made this purchase, they immediately set about making prep- 
 arations for the extinguishment of the Indian title to the lands. Ac- 
 cordingly, in the summer of 1788, Mr. Phelps left Granville, in the 
 state of Massachusetts, with men and means proportionate to the haz- 
 ardous undertaking, as it was then supposed to be. Such was the 
 apprehension of danger to this expedition in the minds of many of the 
 community, that, it is said, on the setting out of the party from Gran- 
 ville, the neighborhood assembled to bid them adieu, and as many of 
 them believed, a final adieu, supposing it very improbable that any 
 of them would live to return. 
 
 In due time, however, they arrived at " Canadarque," as Canandai- 
 gua was then called, accompanied by a commissioner on the part of the 
 state of Massachusetts, and Rev. Samuel Kirkland, the missionary to 
 the Six Nations, who was employed as interpreter in the negotiations 
 with the Indians. On July 8th, 1788, a treaty with the Seneca 
 tribe was concluded, which is known as the "treaty of Buffalo 
 creek," whereby the whole territory known as the Massachusetts pre- 
 emption was ceded to Messrs. Phelps and Gorham by the Indians. 
 
 Within the year Messrs. Gorham and Phelps ceded back to Massa- 
 chusetts, all this territory on the west side of the Genesee river, ex- 
 cept twelve by twenty-five miles above the mouth and parallel with the 
 river. 
 
 After perfecting their title, Messrs. Gorham and Phelps immediately 
 
 *It must be understood that Messrs. Gorham and Phelps, although acting in their 
 own names only in this transaction, were merely the representatives of a company 
 consisting of themselves and a number of others, who had formed an association for 
 the purchase of these lands. 
 
20 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 arranged for putting these lands upon the market, and opened an office 
 for their sale at " Canadarque."* 
 
 In the spring of 1789, engineer Hugh Maxwell sub-contracted the 
 southeastern portion of the purchase, to Messrs. Augustus Porter, 
 Frederick Saxton and others, who laid it out into ranges of six miles 
 square townships, the ranges numbering from east to west, and the 
 townships of each range numbering from south, northward, commenc- 
 ing at the eighty-second mile stone of the Pennsylvania state line. 
 
 It was plain to see that the noblest forest of the Six Nations was 
 soon to be destroyed. "This magnificent woodland, enclosed on three 
 sides by lakes Erie and Ontario, and that chain of rivers and small lakes 
 which divides our state into Central and Western New York, was al- 
 ready invaded by the forerunners of civilization. Traders had estab- 
 lished themselves on the great trails. Explorers had marked cascades 
 for the mill-wheel, and council groves for the axe. Tribe after tribe 
 had first wavered and then fallen before the seductions of the merchant 
 and the commissioner; amidst the temptations of rifles and red rags and 
 silver dollars, the expostulations of the native orators, who besought 
 the clans to hold forever their ancient inheritance, were unavailing. 
 Uneasy immigration was already pressing the borders of the whole 
 western country, and like water about to flood the land, was leaking 
 through the barriers of the wilderness at every crevice. Wyoming 
 rifles were already cracking among the hills of Canisteo, New England 
 axes were already ringing in the woods of Onondaga and Genesee, and 
 most fatal of all signs, the land-ogre from Massachusetts sat in his den 
 at Canadarque, carving the princely domains of the Senecas into gores 
 and townships, while the wild men could but stand aside, some in 
 simple wonder, others with Roman indignation, to see the partition of 
 their inheritance. ' 'f 
 
 By legislative enactment, the "First Purchase," or pre-emption 
 lands, were taken from Montgomery county and made a separate county 
 called Ontario, in March, 1789. ^Canadarque was designated its capitol. 
 By the same act the justices of the Court of Sessions of the new county 
 were authorized to make, as they saw fit, the civil divisions. 
 
 After selling out to actual settlers and speculators about one-third of 
 of the tract of which they had become possessed, Messrs. Gorham and 
 Phelps, on November 18, 1790, conveyed by deed to Robert Morris, 
 
 *This is said to have been the first land office in America, and for the first time 
 land was here conveyed by "article." This was a new devise, of American origin, 
 wholly unknown to the English S5"stem, of granting possession without fee.

 the patriot merchant of revolutionary memory, nearly all that remained, 
 amounting to about one million, two hundred and sixty -four thousand 
 "ecres. The price of the land was eight pence per acre. Mr. Morris sold his 
 contract to Col. Charles Williamson, who held this estate in secret trust 
 for Sir William Pulteney, an English Baronet, and others. In March, 
 1801, Mr. Williamson conveyed the estate formally to Sir William Pul- 
 teney, an act having been passed by the legislature of New York in 
 1798, authorizing conveyances to aliens for the term of three years. 
 This conveyance was made three days before the expiration of the act 
 by its own limitation. 
 
 The property thus conveyed has been generally known by the desig- 
 nation of ' ' the Pulteny estate. ' ' 
 
 The freeholders of Steuben county generally, except in the towns of 
 Hornellsville, Canisteo, Erwin, Campbell, Corning and Lindley, which 
 were purchased direct from Phelps & Gorham, derive their titles from 
 Sir William Pulteney or his heirs. 
 
 To facilitate the sale of the lands, offices were early established at 
 Geneva and Bath. 
 
 The rapidity of the settlement of western New York, and the unin- 
 terrupted prosperity attending it, constitute a circumstance which finds 
 no parallel in the previous history of new settlements. Formerly, new 
 regions were ordinarily settled at great expense to the government or to 
 the individuals, in a very slow and gradual manner, and almost always 
 with the loss of many lives by the incursion of hostile foes. How many 
 new settlements were, after a long period of toil and suffering, and the 
 loss of many valuable lives, entirely broken up by these circumstances! 
 The settlement of the Genesee country has not been wholly exempt from 
 these trials. At times, particularly in the summer 1794, the white in- 
 habitants felt alarmed in view of some hostile demonstrations on the 
 part of the Seneca Indians. These Indians claimed that they had been 
 cheated in the sale of their land, and were undoubtedly more exasper- 
 ated in the recollection of the severe chastisement which they had re- 
 ceived by the expedition of General Sullivan into their country. They 
 manifested a strong feeling of hostility, and used threatening language to- 
 ward the white settlers. In this crisis a council of the Indians was con- 
 voked at Canandaigua by the government of the United States, in the 
 month of November, 1794. Some of the Indians on their way to the 
 council told the white people, that, on their return, if their grievances 
 were not redressed, they should take off the scalps of the whites. At 
 this council the Six Nations were represented. Timothy Pickering ap- 
 peared as commissioner from the government of the United States. On 
 November 11, a treaty was concluded by which the United States ac- 
 knowledged the lands reserved to the Oneida, Cayuga and Onondaga 
 
22 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 nations, in their several treaties with the State of New York, to be the 
 property- of the said nations, and that the United States will never claim 
 these reservations, nor disturb the Indians, nor their friends in the pos- 
 session or enjoyment of them. They also acknowledged that all the 
 lands included within the State of New York, lying west of the west 
 line of Phelps and Gorham's purchase, with the exception of the small 
 territory along the Genesee river, before mentioned, belonged to the 
 Seneca nation of Indians, and they engaged never to disturb that tribe, 
 nor any of the Six Nations, in the quiet possession of the same. 
 
 The Six Nations on their part agreed never to claim any other lands 
 within the limits of the United States* nor to molest the people of the 
 United States in any manner. They also ceded to the United States 
 the privelege of making roads through their lands and navigating the 
 rivers, occupying the harbors, landing places, etc. 
 
 In consideration of the peace and friendship thus established, and the 
 engagements entered into by the Six Nations, and with a view to render 
 the peace perpetual, the United States delivered to the six nations Sio,- 
 ooo worth of goods, and contracted to pay them annually the sum of 
 $4,500, to be expended for their benefit, under the direction of a superin- 
 tendent, to be appointed by the President of the United States. 
 
 The establishment of this treaty calmed the hostile feelings of the 
 Indians, and completely removed the fears of the white inhabitants. From 
 this period no serious trouble with the Indians existed, nor was the set- 
 tlement of the country at all retarded through fear of Indian hostility.*

 STEUBEN COUNTY was formed from Ontario county March 18, 
 1796, and named in honor of Frederick William Augustus, Baron 
 de Steuben. At the time of its organization it was divided into six 
 towns, viz.: Bath, Canisteo, Dansville, Fredericktown Middletown and 
 Painted Post. The seventh range of townships was annexed to Allegany 
 county March 11, 1808; the part in the fork of L,ake Keuka to Ontario

 county — now Yates — February 25, 1814; one-quarter of a township in- 
 cluding the village of Dansville to Livingston county, February 15, 
 1822, and a part to Schuyler county in 1854. 
 
 The county is situated upon the southern border of the state, in the 
 tier of counties adjoining the Pennsylvania line, considerably west of 
 the centre, centrally distant one hundred and eighty -eight miles from 
 Albany. It lies chiefly upon the southern slope of the great dividing 
 ridge or water-shed which separates the waters of Lake Ontario from 
 those of the Susquehanna, and is among the most elevated sections of 
 the state. Its greatest altitude is two thousand, five hundred feet above 
 the ocean. 
 
 It is bounded north by Livingston, Ontario and Yates counties; east, 
 by Schuyler and Chemung counties; south by the Pennsylvania state 
 line and west by Allegany county and a portion of Livingston 1 county. 
 Its area is about fourteen hundred and twenty-five square miles or 
 about eight hundred and thirty-five thousand acres. 
 
 It is an intricate hill country consisting of rolling and irregular up- 
 lands, intersected by deep river valleys and by crooked ravines worn by 
 innumerable creeks. The north and west parts of the county occupy the 
 summit, from whence the slope is to the southeastern extremity of the 
 county where the Chemung river passes the line and flows to the Sus- 
 quehanna. 
 
 The slope towards the valley of the Chemung is from the north, the 
 west and the southwest, where the head waters of the Conhocton, Canis- 
 teo and Tioga rivers rise, all of which unite at Painted Post forming 
 the Chemung river.* The streams aside from the rivers which flow 
 down this slope, are creeks of various sizes, the valleys of which 
 vary in width from a few rods to a mile or more, and are surrounded by 
 hills from two to eight hundred feet in height. "But that the abrupt 
 gulf of Crooked Lake pierces deep into the hills from the North and 
 carries off the meagre brooks of two towns seated upon its western 
 bluffs, the county would contain within itself a complete system of 
 waters. The streams would pour down on all sides from a circle of 
 hills and escape only by the narrow gate of the Chemung." 
 
 Some rocks of the county exhibit marine organic remains , and indi- 
 cations of diluvial action are everywhere perceived in the accumul a- 
 tion of gravel, sand, pebbles and boulders scattered over the surface. 
 
 *The name of this river, Cononque, in the language of the Senecas, signifies 
 "Big Horn" or "Horn in the Water." It derived its name, it is said, from the 
 circumstance of a horn of immense size having been found in the bed of the river by 
 the Indians, at a former period. The river was often called Tioga, and sometimes, 
 by people living in Pennsylvania, the "Cayuga Branch" of the Susquehanna. 
 
124 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 In the town of Pulteney is a large boulder, the parent bed of which 
 cannot be nearer than the primitive formations of the north of this con- 
 tinent. 
 
 But this deep sea-burial was not of long continuance. The conti- 
 nent rose again from its submergence, and summit after summit lifted 
 its gravel-covered brow above the waters. Before the resurrection was 
 completed, we are told by geologists, Nature made several pauses in 
 her work, and the sea was destined to stand over districts that had been 
 marked out for the dwelling place for man. 
 
 The lake ridge of Ontario shows marks of shores of water, which at 
 various periods stood from an elevation of seven hundred and sixty -two 
 feet to the present level of the lake. Similar indications of ancient 
 shores may be traced at the head of Seneca lake. 
 
 When the waters stood at the highest mark indicated, the area of 
 this inland sea must have been limited by the Highlands and New Eng- 
 land range on the' east ; the shores of Lake Superior on the north ; 
 the Alleganies on the south, and the head waters of the Mississippi on 
 the west. Consequent^, when the mountains of Steuben appeared, 
 they overlooked a sea which covered the northern counties of the state , 
 the Canadas and the great western valley. This sea would find its out- 
 let by way of the St. Lawrence, the Hudson, the Connecticut and the 
 Susquehanna rivers. 
 
 The period that marked the emergence of that tract of land now 
 comprised in the five western counties of the state in the southern tier, 
 — was the epoch when the precise' drainage features of modern times 
 were determined. Tne great undulations of the surface which deter- 
 mine the principal water-sheds depend, it is true, upon the conforma- 
 tion of the rocky crust, and probably existed as they now exist in the 
 age anterior to the reign of ice. But all the subordinate details of the 
 drainage were executed while the continent was rising from its last ab- 
 lution. 
 
 Rocks — Upon the hills of Troupsburgh and Greenwood, the most ele- 
 vated portions of the county, the rock consists of a thin layer of argil- 
 laceous sandstone, highly ferruginous in character, and bearing a gen- 
 eral resemblance to the iron ore of the Clinton Group. Its decomposition 
 stains the soil a bright red color, and from these indications it has been 
 supposed that valuable beds of ore would be found. Rocks of the 
 Portage Group appear in all the deep ravines and along the water 
 courses in the northern part of the county, while the high grounds are 
 covered with those of the neat Group. At Hammondsport, we find in 
 a ravine, about three hundred feet of rock exposed, belonging to the 
 Portage Group. 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 25 
 
 The mass exposed consists in the lower part principally of shale and 
 thin layers of sandstone from four to ten inches thick. The edges of 
 all the layers exposed are covered with crystals of sellanite or crystalized 
 gypsum. Some distance from the mouth of this ravine an excavation 
 for coal was once made in the black shale which alternates with the sand- 
 stone and olive shale. The indications of coal at this point were a few 
 fragments of vegetables, iron pyrites and the odor of bitumen arising 
 from the shale. 
 
 The rocks of the Chemung Group continue along the valley of the 
 Conhocton to Painted Post and follow the Tioga to the south line of the 
 state, the tops of the hills excepted, which are capped by conglomerate 
 in a few places. The valley of the Canisteo is bounded on both sides 
 by almost unbroken ranges of the same group, and the same rocks are 
 seen along the valley of Five Mile creek which appears to have been 
 formerly a continuation of Canandaigua lake valley. The valley of 
 Loon lake is the continuation of Hemlock lake and Springwater valley. 
 In the neighborhood of this lake, large accumulations of drift arise in 
 rounded hills from fifty to sixty feet above the general level, and skirt 
 the valley on either side. The country known as Howard flats is 
 formed of drift hills and ridges, but little elevated above the general 
 level. The deepest wells do not reach its termination. 
 
 Sandstone proper for grindstones has been found along Bennett's 
 and Riggs' creeks, at an elevation of four or five hundred feet above the 
 Canisteo, and about fifteen hundred feet above tide-water. Grindstones 
 have been obtained in Canisteo, Woodhull and in Jasper. At Green- 
 wood village, on the farm of F. X. Ward a salt spring formerly emerged 
 from the green shale. A change in the course of the creek beside 
 which it rose has obliterated it entirely. Salt was made at this spring 
 many years ago by the settlers, and previously by the Indians. 
 
 Wells have been recently drilled in Greenwood and Canisteo for nat- 
 tural gas and petroleum, and a considerable flow of each has been ob- 
 tained. Companies are organized for the development of these wells 
 and for further tests. Sulpher springs are found in Urbana, Campbell, 
 Jasper and Troupsburgh. On the farm of S. M. Morgan in the town of 
 Lindlej', are two mineral springs only a few rods distant from each 
 other, one a sulphur spring and the other strongly impregnated with 
 iron. There is a mineral spring in the village of Woodhull. There 
 are numerous beds of lake marl and tufa in this county. Near Arkport 
 was a bed of this kind which furnished a considerable quantity of lime. 
 In the town of Troupsburgh , also, is a bed of this marl. There is an 
 extensive deposit of it on the Canaseraga, south of Dansville, from 
 which lime was formerly burned. The summit level between the Can-

 aseraga and the Canisteo presents an extensive muck swamp and some 
 beds of marl. 
 
 Elevations. — In the south part of the county the highest lands extend 
 from the western line of the town of Lindley, through Tuscarora, 
 through southern Woodhull, thence northwest through the northwest 
 part of Troupsburgh to the south line of Jasper, thence westward to 
 Greenwood, and southwest to the south part of West Union, where the 
 source of Bennett's creek is eight hundred feet above its junction with 
 the Canisteo, and the surrounding hills from three to four hundred feet 
 higher. 
 
 The following elevations have been determined principal^* from act- 
 ual surveys : Lake Kenka, 718 feet above tide-water ; Corning, 925 ; 
 village of Bath, 1090; Hornellsville, 1150; Arkport, 1194; summit 
 between Mud Lake and Bath, 1579 ; summit between Bath and Ark- 
 port, 1840; summit between Arkport and Angelica, 2062; Troups- 
 burgh hills, 2500. 
 
 Lakes, Rivers, Creeks, etc. — Lake Keuka, formerly Crooked Lake, is 
 one of the most beautiful inland lakes in the United States, and has be- 
 come a most attractive and popular summer resort. It extends from 
 Hammondsport to Penn Yan in Yates county, a distance of twenty- 
 two miles, with a fork to Branchport of seven miles. 
 
 Lake Waneta, nearly three miles long and about half a mile wide, 
 lies partly in the town of Wa3 r ne and is elevated above Lake Keuka 
 about two hundred feet. Mud Lake in Schuyler count y east of the 
 town of Bradford, and south of Lake Waneta, is fed from the waters of the 
 latter lake by the Tobahanna creek, and the creek running from Pine 
 Grove through Tyrone to the lake. It is about two miles in length and 
 half a mile in width. The outlet is called Mud Creek and enters the 
 Conhocton at Savona. When the county was first settled, and for sev- 
 eral years subsequent, this stream was navigable, and arks floated 
 from Mud Lake down the creek and the Conhocton to the Susquehanna. 
 
 Duck Lake lies in the southeast part of the town of Prattsburgh and 
 is about half a mile long and a quarter of a mile wide. Lake Salubria 
 is a beautiful sheet of pure water and lies east of the village of Bath. 
 There are two small lakes in the town of Howard, and in the town of 
 Thurston is situated Friends Lake, the outlet of which passes south- 
 ward through the hills to the Canisteo. Goodhue Lake, which covers 
 an area of about fifty acres, lies in the northwest corner of the town of 
 Addison and forms the head of Goodhue creek which passes through 
 the town in a southeasterly direction and empties into the Canisteo be- 
 low Addison village. 
 
 The rivers of the county are the Conhocton, Canisteo, Tioga and 
 Chemung. The lesser streams are the following, locally called creeks. 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 27 
 
 Tuscarora, Stephens, Bennetts, Purdy, Crosby, Canaseraga, Neils, 
 Meads, Canacadea, Five Mile, Ten Mile, Twelve Mile, Goodhue, Post, 
 Cold Spring, Mud Creek and some others. 
 
 The great forests of oak, ash, pine, sugar-maple, beech, elm and 
 other trees, which, but a century since, covered the entire county with 
 the exception of small clearings made by the Indians or some of the 
 river fiats, have almost entirely disappeared ; while thrifty meadows and 
 cultivated fields, fruitful orchards and luxuriant vineyards now fill the 
 valleys and cover the upland slopes. 
 
 The soil is fertile and well adapted to pasturage. Large numbers of 
 horses, milch cows, working oxen and other cattle, sheep and swine 
 are raised. She chief productions are wheat, rye, Indian corn, oats, 
 barley, buckwheat, potatoes, hay, tobacco, wool, grapes, maple-sugar, 
 honey, butter and cheese. 
 
 Extent of territory, variety of soil, difference in altitude and other 
 causes, render Steuben county capable of greatly diversified produc- 
 tions and places her among the foremost of the agricultural counties of 
 New York, while she ranks well among those that excell in manufact- 
 ured products. 
 
 Of these we may name agricultural implements, carriages and wagons, 
 cooperage, furniture, cut and moulded glassware, iron castings, tanned 
 and curried leather, boots and shoes, machinery, saddlery and harnesses, 
 wine, woolen goods, wire, high wines, beer, flour and lumber. 
 
 During the early years of the county's history, lumbering was the 
 chief industry, and until a comparatively recent date continued so in 
 some of the towns. Large quantities of lumber and other products 
 were shipped in rafts and arks to different points in Pennsylvania and 
 Maryland, and later these products found an outlet by way of the Gen- 
 esee, the Penn Yan and Dresden and the Chemung canals. At the pres- 
 ent day the county possessess railroad facilities that are unsurpassed by 
 any county in the state. 
 
 Although many thousand acres of timber-land yet remain in the 
 county, it is scattered, and its area small compared with the broad ex- 
 panse devoted to agriculture, fruit-growing and stock-raising. 
 
 The comparative growth of the county may be seen by the following 
 citation of the census reports for the several enumerations since its or- 
 ganization. 
 
 1800, 1,788; 1810, 7,246; 1820, 21,989; 1830, 33,975; 1840, 46,138;

 THE internal improvements of our state commenced at the close of 
 the last century, and were a stupendous undertaking. More than 
 half the state was in forest. The paths by which the first inhabi- 
 tants came into the country were Indian trails. Often they were 
 obliged to stop in their progress for hours to construct a temporary 
 bridge to enable them to cross a stream of water. It was also neces- 
 sary that they should travel in considerable companies for the purpose 
 of mutual assistance in crossing streams, passing swamps and ascend- 
 ing hills. To make permanent roads through an almost unbroken 
 wilderness, over rugged mountains, and to bridge swift and broad 
 streams, required indomitable energy and an unshaken faith in the fu- 
 ture growth and prosperity of the state. 
 
 In 1784, Hugh White and family progressed beyond the settlements 
 of the Mohawk, and founded what is now Whitestown. In May, 1788, 
 Asa Danforth with his family accompanied by Comfort Tyler, advanced 
 far beyond the bounds of civilization, locating at Onondaga Valley. 
 There being then no road, they came by water, landing at the mouth 
 of Onondaga creek. At that time all the region west of Utica was 
 the town of Whitestown, and included in its jurisdiction all the settlers 
 in the Genesee country. At the third town -meeting in 1791, True- 
 worthy Cook of Pompey, Jeremiah Gould of Salina, Onondaga county 
 and James Wadsworth of Genesee, were chosen pathmasters. Accord - 
 ngly, it may be noted that Mr. Wadsworth was the first pathmaster

 west of Cayuga lake. It could have been little more than the super- 
 vision of Indian trails ; but the ' ' warnings ' ' must have been an om- 
 inous task. 
 
 In Clarke's " Onondaga " it is said : " The first road attempted to 
 be made through this country was in 1790, or 1791, by a party of emi- 
 grants under the direction of the late General Wadsworth, from the 
 settlement at Whitestown to Canandaigua, through a country then but 
 little explored, and quite a wilderness." 
 
 The settlement of the Genesee country, as we have stated, was first 
 attempted by Oliver Phelps, in 1789, and was attended with great diffi- 
 culties. While he was thus preparing the way for settlements west of 
 the lakes and in the valley of the Genesee, New England pioneers were 
 launching their canoes on the Unadilla, and Pennsylvania emigrants 
 were shoving their barges up the Susquehanna, the Chemung, the Con- 
 hocton, and the Canisteo within the present limits of the county of 
 which we write. 
 
 The first settlement in the now county of Steuben was made by Sam- 
 uel Harris at Painted Post in 1786. Other families followed. The ar- 
 rival of Colonel Williamson in the county was the means of rapidly 
 augmenting the number of settlers in every direction, and the exertions 
 he made for the settlement and colonization of the "Genesee country," 
 were not behind to the most advanced schemes for booming a section 
 of country at the present day, as we shall presently show. 
 
 Says McMaster:* "While our foremost pioneers were reaping their 
 first harvests in the valleys of the Canisteo and Chemung, great schemes 
 were on foot in the capitol of the British empire for the invasion of the 
 Genesee wilderness. An officer of the royal army had conceived a splen- 
 did project for the foundation of a city in the midst of a forest, and sus- 
 tained by men of wealth in London was about to penetrate its utmost 
 thickets, to raise up a Babylon among the habitations of the owl and 
 the dragon." 
 
 In the winter of 1792, Colonel Williamson made a visit to the Gene- 
 see by the way of Albany and the Mohawk. In the upper valley of the 
 Mohawk he passed the last of the old settlements. 
 
 From these old German farms the road was but a lane opened in the 
 woods, passable only on horseback or in a sledge. 
 
 In the following summer Colonel Williamson determined to open a 
 high road from Northumberland, Pa., to the Genesee. The only road 
 leading to the north from the mouth of the West Branch followed the 
 
 *So few copies of McMaster's History to which our readers may have access are 
 known to be extant, that we quote here and elsewhere quite extensively from that 
 work. 
 
30 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 valley of the Susquehanna, which at this point, to one going above, be- 
 gins a long and unnecessary ramble to the east. A direct road to the 
 Genesee would cross a ridge of the Alleganies. An Indian trail, often 
 trod during the revolution by parties from fastnesses of the Six Nations, 
 ran over the mountains, but to open a road through the shattered wil- 
 derness, which would be passable for wagons was deemed impossible. 
 
 After a laborious exploration, however, by the agent and a party of 
 Pennsylvania hunters, a road was located from "Ross Farm" — now 
 Williamsport— to the mouth of Canaseraga creek, on the Genesee, a 
 distance of one hundred and fifty miles. This road was opened in the 
 ensuing autumn by a party of German emigrants. 
 
 It was in the month of September when the emigrants appeared at 
 the mouth of Lycoming creek, ready for the march to the northern par- 
 adise. A little way up the creek they commenced hewing the road. 
 Here the Germans took their first lessons in wood-craft. They were 
 not apt apprentices, and never carried the art to great perfection. We 
 hear of them afterward sawing trees down. An old gentleman who 
 came over the road in an early day, says the trees looked as if the}- had 
 been gnawed down bj r beaver.* 
 
 "The heavy frontier axe — nine pounder, often — was to them a very 
 grievous thing. They became weary and lame; the discomforts of the 
 woods were beyond endurance, and their complaints grew longer and 
 more doleful at each sunset. The men wept and cursed Colonel Will- 
 iamson bitterly, saying that he had sent them there to die. They be- 
 came mutinous. 'I could compare my situation,' said Ben Patterson, 
 their guide, 'to nothing but Moses with the children of Israel. I would 
 march them along a few miles, and they would rise up and rebel.' " 
 
 At "Canoe Camp," a few miles below the present village of Mans- 
 field, they put the sick and the women and children in canoes and 
 launched forth into the river, while the men followed by land. Patter- 
 son told them to keep the Indian trail, but as this sometimes went back 
 into the hills, and out of sight of the river, they dared not follow it for 
 fear of being lost. So they scrambled along the shore as best they 
 could, keeping their eyes fixed on the flotilla as if their lives depended 
 upon it. They tumbled over the banks; they tripped up over roots; 
 where the shores were rocky they waded in the cold water below. But 
 the canoes gliding merrily downward, wheeled at last into the Chemung, 
 and the men beheld with joy the little cabins clustered around the 
 Painted Post. 
 
 It was now December. They had been three months in the wilder- 
 ness and were not in a condition to move onward to the Genesee. 
 
 *Tumer's "Phelp's and Gorham Purchase.' 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 3 I 
 
 Patterson, with thirty of the most hardy men, kept on however, and 
 opened the road up the Conhocton to Dansville and the place of des- 
 tination. The others remained through the winter of 1 793 at Painted 
 Post. The whole colony was conducted to the Genesee in the spring. 
 
 Notwithstanding their manifold tribulations, the Germans were de- 
 posited at the Genesee with the loss of but one man, who was killed 
 in the mountains by a falling tree. At Williamsburg they were abun- 
 dantly provided for. Each family received a house and fifty acres of 
 land, with a stock of provisions for present use, and household and 
 farming utensils. Cattle and sheep were distributed among them, and 
 nothing remained for them to do but to fall to work and cultivate their 
 farms. But it soon became apparent that they were lazy, shiftless and 
 of the most appalling stupidity. Breeding cattle were barbecued. 
 Seeds, instead of being planted in the fields, vanished in their kettles; 
 and when provisions were exhausted, Colonel Williamson was called 
 upon to dispatch a file of pack-horses to their relief. 
 
 At length they broke out into open and outrageous rebellion. Mu- 
 tiny lasted several days, till the sheriff of Ontario county mustered a 
 posse of sufficient strength to quell them and arrest their ringleaders. 
 They were finally transferred to Canada, greatly to the relief of the Lou- 
 don association and their agent, to, whom the colony had been from 
 the beginning nothing but a source of expense and vexation.* 
 
 Writing of the year 1794, andenumeratingsomeof the improvemenst 
 inaugurated by Colonel Williamson, General McClure, in his narrative 
 written in 1850, and published in McMaster's History, says: "The 
 next project that claimed his" — Colonel Williamson's — "attention, was 
 the improvement of our streams. They were then called 'creeks,' but 
 when they came to be improved and made navigable for arks and r^fts, 
 their names were changed to those of rivers. The Colonel ordered the 
 Conhocton and Mud creeks to be explored by a competent committee, 
 and a report to be made and an estimate of the probable expense re- 
 quired to make them navigable for arks and rafts. The report of the 
 committee was favored. A number of hands were employed to remove 
 obstructions and open a passage to Painted Post, which was done, 
 though the channel still remained very imperfect and dangerous. The 
 Conhocton was declared navigable above Liberty Corners. The first 
 attempt at clearing the channel was made on the strength of a fund of 
 seven hundred dollars, raised by subscription. 
 
 " The question was then asked, ' who shall be the first adventurer ? ' 
 We had not as yet any surplus produce to spare, but lumber was a 
 staple commodity, and was in great demand at Harrisburgh, Columbia 
 and Baltimore. I therefore came to the conclusion to try the experi- 
 ment the next spring. I went to work and built an ark seventy -five , 
 feet long and sixteen feet wide and in course of the winter got out a 
 cargo of pipe and hogshead staves, which I knew would turn to good

 account should I arrive safely at Baltimore. All things being ready, 
 with cargo on board, and a good pitch of water and a first-rate set of 
 hands, we put out our unwieldy vessel into the stream, and away we 
 went at a rapid rate, and in about half an hour reached Whites Island, 
 five miles below Bath. There we ran against a large tree that lay across 
 the river. We made fast our ark to the shore, cut away the tree, re- 
 paired damages, and next morning took a fair start. It is unnecessary 
 to state in detail the many difficulties we encountered before we 
 reached Painted Post, but in about six days we got there. The Che- 
 mung river had fallen so low that we were obliged to wait for a rise of 
 water. In four or five days we were-nfavored with a good pitch of water. 
 We made a fresh start, and in four daj r s ran two hundred miles to Mo- 
 hontongo, a place twenty miles from Harrisburgh, where, through the 
 ignorance of the pilot, we ran upon a bar of rocks in the middle of the 
 river, where it was one mile wide. There we lay twenty-four hours, 
 no one coming to our relief or to take us on shore. At last a couple of 
 gentlemen came on board and told us it was impossible to get the ark 
 oif until a rise of water. One of the gentlemen inquired, apparently 
 very carelessly, what it cost to build an ark of that size, and how many 
 thousand staves we had on board. I suspected his object, and answered 
 him in his own careless manner. He asked if I did not wish to sell the 
 ark and cargo. I told him I would prefer going through if there was 
 any chance of a rise of water — that pipe staves, in Baltimore, were 
 worth eighty dollars per thousand; but if you wish to purchase and will 
 make me a generous offer, I will think of it. He offered me $600. I 
 told him that was hardly half the price of the cargo at Baltimore, but if 
 he would give me $800, I would close a bargain with him. He said he 
 had a horse, saddle and bridle on shore worth $200, which he would 
 add to the $600. We all went on shore. I examined the horse and 
 considered him worth the $200. We closed the bargain and I started 
 for Bath. I lost nothing by the sale, but if I had succeeded in reach- 
 ing Baltimore I should have cleared $500. 
 
 "The same spring Jacob Bartles, and his brother-in-law Mr. Harvey, 
 made their way down Mud creek with one ark and some rafts. Bartles 
 mill-pond and Mud lake afforded water sufficient at any time, by draw- 
 ing a gate, to carry arks and rafts out of the creek. Harvey lived on 
 the west branch of the Susquehanna, and understood the management 
 of such crafts. 
 
 " Thus it was ascertained to a certainty, that, by improving those 
 streams we could transport our produce to Baltimore — a distance of 
 three hundred miles — in the spring of the j-ear for a mere trifle." 
 
 As this illustrates the state of the country and makes known the earli- 
 est efforts put forth to establish a commerce with the outside world, 
 we continue the narrative. 
 
 " In the year 1795 I went to Albany on horseback. There was no 
 road from Cayuga lake to Utica better than an Indian trail, and no ac- 
 commodations that I found better than Indian wigwams. * * * 
 
 I had got it into my head to dispose of my chest of tools and turn mer- 
 chant. I therefore settled my accounts with Colonel Williamson. He gave 
 me a draft on a house in Albany for Si ,500, accompanied by letters of rec-

 ommendation. I laid in a large assortment of merchandise, and ship- 
 ped them on board a Mohawk boat. Being late in the fall, winter set 
 in, and the boat got frozen up in the river about thirty miles west of 
 Schenectady, at a place called the " Cross Widows," otherwise called 
 the widow Veeders. Here the goods lay for about two months till a 
 sleigh road was opened from Utica to Cayuga lake. About the last of 
 January I started with sleighs after my goods, and in two weeks ar- 
 rived in Bath. 
 
 ' ' At this time there were no white inhabitants between Seneca river 
 and Niagara, a distance of ninety miles. * * * My next start in business 
 was attended with a little better success. My brother Charles kept a 
 small store in Bath, and in the year 1800 we entered into partnership. I 
 moved to Dansville, opened a store, and remained there one year. I 
 did a safe business, and took in that winter four thousand bushels of 
 wheat and two hundred barrels of pork — built four arks at Arkport, on 
 the Canisteo river, and ran them down to Baltimore. These were the 
 first arks that descended the Canisteo. * * * At this time 
 I purchased the Cold Spring mill site, half way between Bath and 
 Crooked Lake, of one Skinner, a Quaker, with two hundred acres of 
 land, and purchased from the land office and others about eight hun- 
 dred acres, to secure the whole privilege. Here I erected a flouring- 
 mill, saw-mill, fulling-mill and carding machine. I perceived that 
 wheat would be the principal staple of farmers, and I also knew from 
 experience that there would be great risk in running wheat to Baltimore 
 down a very imperfect and dangerous navigation, and the risk in run- 
 ning flour, well packed, comparatively small. ****** j received in 
 the course of the winter 20,000 bushels of wheat, two-thirds of which I 
 floured and packed at my mills; built in the winter eight arks at Bath, 
 and four on the Canisteo. In the spring I ran the flour to Baltimore 
 and the wheat to Columbia. The river was in fine order, and we made 
 a prosperous voyage and a profitable sale. I cleared enough that spring 
 to pay all my expenditures and improvements on the Cold Spring prop- 
 erty. After disposing of my cargo I went to Philadelphia and settled 
 with my merchants, laid in a very extensive assortment of goods, loaded 
 two boats at Columbia, and sent them up the river to Painted Post. 
 
 ' ' My next project was to build a schooner on Crooked Lake, of about 
 thirty tons burden, for the purpose of carrying wheat from Penn Yan to 
 the head of the lake. I advertised the schooner ' ' Sally, " as a regular 
 trader on Crooked Lake, the embargo to the contrary notwithstanding (for 
 Jefferson's long embargo had then got into operation). * * * * 
 
 ' ' I erected a store-house at each end of the lake. The vessel and store- 
 houses cost me $1,400. The whole, as it turned out, was a total loss, 
 as the lake was frozen over at the time I most wanted to use it. The 
 farmers did not then carry their wheat to market before winter. * * 
 
 "There was not at that time any other market for wheat, 
 until the great canal was finished as far as Cayuga. Wheat was brought 
 to my mill from all parts of Seneca and Ontario counties and the 
 Genesee river. ********* 
 
 ' ' Indians were very numerous at that time. Their hunting camps 
 were within short distances of each other all over the county. The In- 
 dian trade was then an object. I hired a chief of the name of Kettle- 
 
34 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 Hoop, from Buffalo, to teach me the Seneca language. He spoke good 
 English. All words that related to the Indian trade or traffic I wrote 
 down in one column, and opposite gave the interpretation in Seneca, and 
 so I enlarged my dictionary from day to day for three or four weeks, 
 until I got a pretty good knowledge of the language. I then set out on 
 a trading expedition amongst the Indian encampments, and took my 
 teacher along, who introduced me to his brethren as Seoscagena, that is, 
 very good man. They laughed very heartily at my pronounciation . I 
 told them I had a great many goods at Tanighnaguanda, that is, Bath. 
 I told them to come and see me, and bring all their furs and peltry, 
 and gammon , — that is, hams of deer — and I would buy them all and pay 
 them in goods very cheap. They asked me Tcgoye-czccthgath and Neg- 
 augh, that is, have you rum and wine, or firewater. That fall, in the 
 hunting season, I took in an immense quantity of furs, peltry and deer 
 hams. Their price for gammon, large or small, was two shillings. I 
 salted and smoked that winter about three thousand hams, and sold 
 them next spring in Baltimore and Philadelphia for two shillings per 
 pound. * * * * The next spring I started down the rivers Con- 
 hocton and Canisteo, with a large fleet of arks loaded with flour, wheat, 
 pork and other articles. The embargo being in full force, the price of 
 flour and wheat was very low. At Havre de Grace I made fast two or 
 three arks loaded with wheat to the stern of a small schooner which lay 
 anchored in the middle of the stream, about half a mile from shore. Be- 
 ing ebb tide, together with the current of the stream, we could not possi- 
 bly land our arks. Night setting in there was no time to be lost in get- 
 ting them to shore, as there was a strong wind down the bay, and it 
 would be impossible to save them if they should break loose from the 
 schooner. I left the arks in charge of William Edwards of Bath, whilst 
 I went on shore to procure help to tow the arks to shore. Whilst I was 
 gone the wind increased, and the master of the scooner hallowed to Ed- 
 wards, who was in one of the arks, that he would cut loose, as there 
 was danger that he would be dragged into the bay and get lost, and he 
 raised his ax to cut the cables . Edwards swore that if he cut the cables 
 he would shoot him down on the spot, and raising a hand-spike, took 
 deliberate aim. It being dark, the Captain could not distinguish be- 
 tween a handspike and a rifle. This brought him to terms. He drop- 
 ped the ax and told Edwards that if he would engage that I should pay 
 him for his vessel in case she should be lost, he would not cut loose. 
 Edwards pledged himself that I would do so. 
 
 " When I got on shore I went to a man named Smith, who had a 
 fishing and a large boat with eighteen oars, and about forty Irish- 
 men in his employ, and offered to hire his boat and hands. He was 
 drunk, and told me with an oath, that I and my arks might go to the 
 
 d 1. He would neither let the boat nor his hands go. I went into 
 
 the shanty of the Irishmen, and putting on an Irish brogue, told them 
 
 of my distress. ' The d 1 take Smith, we will help our countryman, 
 
 by my shoul boys,' said their leader. They manned the boat, and the 
 arks were brought to shore in double-quick time. They refused to take 
 pay, and I took them to a tavern and ordered them as much as they 
 chose to drink. My friend Edwards and those jolly Irishmen saved my 
 arks and cargo. *********

 "I purchased in the fall droves of cattle and sent them to Philadelphia. 
 I also stall-fed forty head of the best and largest cattle in winter, which 
 I shipped on arks to Columbia, and down to Philadelphia, where they 
 sold to good advantage. This mode of sending fat cattle to market as- 
 tonished the natives as we passed down the river. It proved to be a 
 profitable business. * %. * Ini8i6I ran down to Baltimore about 
 1,000,000 feet of pine lumber and 100,000 feet of cherry boards and 
 curled maple. I chartered three brigs and shipped my cherry and 
 curled maple and five hundred barrels of flour to Boston. I sold my 
 flour at a fair price, but my lumber was a dead weight on my hands. 
 At length an inventor for spinning wool by water-power offered to sell 
 me one of his machines for $2,500 and take lumber in payment. I 
 closed a bargain with him, which induced me to embark in woolen 
 manufacture. I obtained a loan from the state, and was doing well 
 until congress reduced the tariff for the protection of home industries to 
 a mere nominal tax. The country immediately after was flooded with 
 foreign fabrics, and but few woolen factories survived the shock. 
 
 ' ' I will now close my narrative so far as it relates to my own business 
 concerns with a single remark, that although I have been unfortunate 
 at the close of my business, yet I flatter myself that all will admit that 
 I have done nothing to retard the growth and prosperity of the village 
 of Bath, or the inhabitants of Steuben county generally, especially at 
 the time when there were no facilities for the farmers of the county to 
 transport their produce to market other than that which was afforded 
 by my exertions. And whether the people of Steuben or myself have 
 received the most benefit, I leave for them to determine.*" 
 
 We cannot withhold our admiration of the wisdom of those men upon 
 whom devolved the duty of shaping legislation upon the subject of 
 highways. The plan adopted was that of granting charters to compa- 
 nies for the construction of turnpikes in all parts of the state. 
 
 The next step in the matter of internal improvements was the con- 
 struction of canals. The Hudson and Erie was opened for traffic in 
 1825 to the great advantage of the State at large, but with very little 
 direct benefit to the people of Steuben county until the construction 
 some years later of the Crooked Lake canal from Penn Yan to Dresden, 
 the Cayuga and Seneca canal and the Chemung canal, which made an 
 outlet north by way of the lakes to the Erie. 
 
 At the first session of the Sixth Congress of the United States, 1799- 
 1800, a mail route was established from the Hudson, byway of Katts- 
 kill, Harpersfield, Oleout, Unadilla and Windsor in New York, to 
 Tioga Point — now Athens — Pa. The same act provided for a mail 
 route from Wilkesbarre, by way of Wyalusing, Tioga Point, Newtown 
 — now Elmira — Painted Post and Bath, to Canandaigua. Previous to 
 that we are told that Captain Williamson paid all expenses of transport-

 ing the mail once a week to and from Northumberland. An old 
 Frenchman lived at the "Block-House" on Laural Ridge, sixty-five 
 miles distant from Bath. Thomas Corbit, the mail rider in 1794, went 
 thither weekly for the Steuben county bag. 
 
 It is difficult to conceive how a mail could have been conveyed over 
 these routes, where there were neither roads nor bridges. 
 
 Early in the present century the building of turnpike roads engaged 
 the attention of enterprising minds. On a map of western New York, 
 published in 1809, we find the Lake Erie turnpike road, running from 
 a point on Lake Erie which could not have been far from the present 
 village of Westfield in Chautauqua county, to Bath and connecting 
 there with the Susquehanna and Bath turnpike which ran through 
 Catharines and Ithaca; and also with the Great Bend and Bath turnpike 
 road through Newtown and Owego. 
 
 In September, 1820, Leonard and Bacon of Owego established a 
 weekly mail stage between Owego and Bath, and in 1825, Stephen B. 
 Leonard established a line of coaches running twice a week between the 
 same points. Subsequently Lewis Manning and his son, Chester J. 
 Manning of Owego, Major Morgan of Chenango Point, Cooley and 
 Maxwell of Newtown and John Magee of Bath, became proprietors of the 
 great Southern Tier Mail and Passenger Coach Line, between New- 
 burgh on the Hudson and Bath, which became a daily line, and con- 
 tinued until the opening of the New York and Erie railroad in 1849. 
 Thus the first fifty years of this century were a period in which were 
 made three marked advances in the mail service; first, from the irregu- 
 lar and chance service — for the pioneer was dependent upon private 
 hands and chance ways and means for receiving by letter or verbal 
 communication, intelligence from distant friends — to one of intervals of 
 two weeks; second, a mail twice each week, and improving to daily 
 delivery; third, the present mail service by railroad beginning in 1850. 
 
 The changes wrought in the facilities for travel, commerce, transpor- 
 tation of mails, the invention of the telegraph, all within less than halt 
 a century, are as marvellous as the thousand and one tales of the ' 'Ara- 
 bian Night's Entertainments." 
 
 In 1789, there were but seventy-five post-offices in the United States, 
 seven of which were in New York, viz.: Albany, Claverack, Fishkill, 
 Kinderhook, New York, Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck. The number 
 of post-offices in Steuben county to-day is ninety. The total number of 
 post-roads in the United States in 1789 was one thousand seven hun- 
 dred and sixty -three miles, and the whole extent in the state of New 
 York was one hundred and sixty miles, or between New York and Al- 
 bany. In January, 1890, the total number of postoffices in the United 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 37 
 
 States was fifty-nine thousand, and in the state of New York three 
 thousand, three hundred and sixty-four. 
 
 The New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company was incor- 
 porated as the New York & Erie Railroad Company April 24, 1832. 
 In 1861 it was re-organized, this time under its present corporate title. 
 The first section of the road was opened for traffic from Piermont to 
 Goshen in 1841; from Goshen to Middletown in June, 1843 ; to Port 
 Jen-is in January, 1848 ; to Binghamton in December, 1848 ; to Elmira 
 in October, 1848; to Corning in January, 1850; to Hornellsville, Sep- 
 tember 3, 1850, and through to Dunkirk, the western terminus, April 
 22, 1851. 
 
 The opening of the road brought a wealthy and comparatively isolated 
 section of the State in direct communication with the sea-board, and it 
 soon became the outlet for a large western traffic. 
 
 Although the " Erie," as it is familiarly called, has had a checkered 
 career, it has ever been regarded as one of the representative railways of 
 the United States. The main line of this road crosses the towns of 
 Corning, Erwin, Addison, Rathbone, Cameron, Canisteo and Hornells- 
 ville in this county. 
 
 In 1852, the Buffalo, Corning and New York Railroad — now the 
 Rochester branch of the Erie — was completed to Corning, giving an 
 outlet to a vast agricultural and lumber district. It connects with the 
 main line at Corning and traverses the towns of Erwin, Campbell, Bath, 
 Avoca, Cohocton and Wa} r land. 
 
 The old Corning and Blossburgh — now the Corning, Cowanesque and 
 Antrim Railroad — forms a continuous line from Antrim in the coal 
 regions of Pennsylvania, via the Syracuse, Geneva and Corning to its 
 connection with the four- track New York Central road at Lyons, N. Y. , 
 and with the Erie canal. 
 
 The Syracuse, Geneva and Corning railroad was chartered August 
 27, 1875, and the road was opened December 10, 1877. It is leased and 
 operated by the Fall Brook Coal Company, as is also the Corning, 
 Cowanesque and Antrim Railroad with its branches. 
 
 The Bath and Hammondsport Railroad, organized January 17, 1872, 
 was opened June 30, 1875. It extends from Bath village to Hammonds- 
 port at the head of Lake Keuka, through Pleasant Valley, a section 
 renowned for its beauty and fertility. The road was leased to Allan 
 Wood for ninety-nine years from December 15, 1874. Mr. Wood sold 
 his lease to H. S. Stebbins in December, 1886. In 1889, the lease 
 passed to the ownership of C. W. Drake, of New York, who changed it 
 from narrow to standard gauge, July 22, 1889. 
 
 The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, as it passes through 
 Steuben county, traverses the towns of Corning, Erwin, Campbell, 
 
38 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 Bath, Avoca, Cohocton and Wayland. It was originally built as the 
 New York, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, chartered August 24, 
 1880, and opened for through freight business September 17, 1882. On 
 October 22, 1882, it was leased to the Delaware, Lackawanna and 
 Western Railroad Company in perpetuity, thus extending the line of 
 that company from Binghamton to the International Bridge at Buffalo. 
 
 The Addison and Pennsylvania Railway was chartered in New York 
 June 19, 1882, and in Pennsylvania July 13, the same year. It is a 
 narrow gauge road; and extends from Addison to Galeton, Pa., with a 
 branch from Gurnee Junction to Gurnee. The roads were opened for 
 business November 27, 1882, and the companies consolidated in 1884. 
 The principal offices of the company are at Addison . 
 
 The Rochester, Hornellsville and Lackawanna Railroad was incor- 
 porated June 9, 1886, with a capital stock of $300,000, John Mc- 
 Dougal president and I. W. Near secretary. The road was opened for 
 business January 25, 1888. It makes some important railroad con- 
 nections which are of great value to Steuben county, and Western New 
 York and Pennsylvania. At Hornellsville it connects with the Erie, and 
 at Wayland with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western for all points 
 east and west, and also connects with the New York and Pennsylvania 
 Railroad at Swains which gives direct communication with Rochester 
 and New York and intermediate points without change of cars, and also 
 for Olean, Oil City, Pittsburgh, etc. In October, 1889, this road was 
 consolidated with the Lackawanna and Southwestern under the title of 
 Rochester, Lackawanna and Southwestern. It is now operated by a 
 receiver under its first corporate title. 
 
 The Kanona and Prattsburgh Railroad was organized in April 1888, 
 with M. Pinney president, T. VanTuyl vice-president and A. K. Smith 
 treasurer. Ground was broken July 29, 1888, and the first train ran 
 over the road October 8, 1889. On April 6, 1889, C. M. Renchan was 
 made superintendent of construction and continued as superintendent 
 of the road alter it went into operation, until January 1, 1890, when he 
 resigned and was succeeded by J. G. Baker. Mr. Baker surveyed the 
 road and was chief engineer of construction. The road, which is 
 standard gauge, connects with the Erie and with the D. L. & W. R. R. 
 at Kanona, and traverses the town of Wheeler to Prattsburgh. Doubt- 
 less this road will be constructed north to the lakes, and ultimately will 
 connect with the New York Central. 
 
 The first telegraph line in this county was that of the ' ' New York 
 and Erie Telegraph Association," a corporation of which Ezra Cornell 
 was leading spirit and he was the builder of the line. It was commonly 
 knownas " Cornell's Line," and was begun in 1847 and completed in 
 1849. It ran along the public roads from New York, through Harlem, 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 39 
 
 White Plains, Sing Sing, Peekskill, Goshen, Middletown, Monticello, 
 Hinsdale, Montrose, Bingham ton, Ithaca, Bath, Dansville, Nunda and 
 Pike to Fredonia. Cornell and the gentlemen associated with him hoped 
 to make it a great through route for western business in competition with 
 the line of the New York, Albany and Buffalo Company, which, as the 
 name indicates ran through Central New York, and was then the great 
 artery through which flowed the business between the east and the 
 west. The Cornell line was a financial failure. It was for a time leased 
 to the N. Y. A. & B. Co., who soon relinquished it and after a time it 
 was transferred to the Erie road. This line traversed the towns of 
 Bath and Cohocton, and in the former town followed a highway which 
 is still known as the "telegraph road."*

 Administration of the Law — Early Courts — Changes, and the Establish- 
 ment of New Courts — Earl* Members of the Bar — Present Members — 
 County Buildings— J udiciary and Civil List — Table of Assessed Values. 
 
 AT the time of the organization of the county in 1796, the various 
 courts of law, from those of a general jurisdiction to those of a 
 specific and limited jurisdiction, had already been instituted and 
 organized throughout the state, either by derivation from the common 
 law, or by the constitution and the various enactments of the legislature. 
 With the exception of a few courts since abolished, the courts of law of 
 that time have continued until the present, with powers and jurisdictions 
 of so kindred a nature that they are easily identified. There has been 
 very little change in the essential nature of those powers and jurisdic- 
 tions, or even in the number and grades of the various courts since. 
 There have been made, however, great changes in the executive scheme 
 and machinery of these courts. These changes are simply those of the 
 natural growth and development of the administration of law, equity 
 and justice ; and they may be easily traced through the history of the 
 constitutional and statute laws of the state. 
 
 The paramount court of the state was the court for the trial of 
 impeachment and for the correction of errors. It was provided for by 
 the first constitution of the state, 1777, and was established by an act 
 of legislature in 1784. It was composed of the president of the state 
 senate, senators, chancellor, and judges of the supreme court or the

 major part of them. As a court for the trial of impeachments, it had 
 power to impeach all public officers of the state ' ' for mal and corrupt 
 conduct in their respective offices." Two-third majority of the mem- 
 bers present was necessary in order successfully to impeach. This 
 court still continues with some modifications. It is now composed of 
 the president of the state senate, senators or the major part of them, 
 and the judges of the court of appeals, or the major part of them. Since 
 it was first established, in 1784, this court has been deprived of much 
 of the jurisdiction originally conferred upon it, by the adoption of new 
 state constitutions and by the various amendments thereto, and by 
 numerous enactments of the state legislature. 
 
 As a court for the correction of errors, this was a species of appellate 
 court of last resort, and had power to redress and correct all errors 
 happening in the court of chancery, the supreme court, the court of 
 probates and the court of admiralty. This branch of the court con- 
 tinued until the adoption of the new state constitution, which went into 
 effect January 1, 1847. It was supplanted under provisions of the con- 
 stitution of 1847, by the court of appeals, though it is a noteworthy 
 feature that the new constitution of 1847 made no direct abolition of 
 this court ; but it was practically disposed of by that instrument by 
 abolishing the offices of chancellor and justices of the supreme court, 
 who in part made up the court for the trial of impeachments and for the 
 correction of errors. 
 
 The new state constitution of 1 847 provided for the institution of the 
 court of appeals, consisting of eight judges, and the court was subse- 
 quently organized under provisions of enactment of the legislature , and 
 is still in existence. The judges thereof are elected by popular vote, 
 and since the adoption of the judiciary article to the state constitution 
 November 2, 1869, the court has been composed of a chief justice and 
 six associate justices and the tenure of office is for a term of fourteen 
 years. Its sessions are held in the city of Albany. It is an appellate 
 court of last resort in the state, having general jurisdiction in law, equity 
 and justice. 
 
 There was another court already organized at the time of the erection 
 of the counts', known as the court of exchequer. It was a court having 
 jurisdictions of fines, forfeitures and amercements. It was abolished 
 by the repealing acts of 1828, in anticipation of the revised statutes of 
 the state which went into effect January 1, 1830. 
 
 The court of chancery was another court already in existence and 
 fully organized, to the jurisdiction of which the county of Steuben was 
 subject upon its erection. This court had jurisdiction of general equity 
 jurisprudence. The executive officer of the court, originally under the 
 provisions of the constitution of 1777, was a sole chancellor, appointed 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 41 
 
 by the governor of the state with the advice and consent of the council 
 of appointment. His term of office was during good behavior, or until 
 he arrived at the age of sixty -five years. Subsequently, when the revised 
 statutes went into effect January 1, 1830, provision was made for the 
 appointment of vice-chancellors, one for each of the eight judicial cir- 
 cuits. The duties of the vice-chancellors were analagous to those of the 
 circuit justices of the supreme court. The court of chancery continued 
 until the first Monday in July, 1847. This constitution provided for a 
 supreme court, with general jurisdiction in law and equity ; and since 
 its adoption the history of equity jurisprudence is identical with that of 
 the supreme court. 
 
 The supreme court of judicature was also alread5 r fully organized, 
 having general jurisdiction of civil matters. Originally it consisted of 
 three members, a chief justice and two associates who were appointed 
 by the governor of the state with the advice and consent of the council 
 of appointment. Their tenure of office was during good behavior, or 
 until each should attain the age of sixty years. Afterward the number 
 of associate judges was increased to three, and subsequently to four. 
 The terms of the court were held at the state capitol. The justices of 
 the court continued to be appointed until June 7, 1847, when, under the 
 provisions of the new constitution, they became elective by popular vote, 
 and have since been so chosen. An act of the state legislature of 1786, 
 however, authorized the trial of issues in the supreme court to be held 
 in the count}- where the causes arise, and established circuit courts to 
 be held in the vacations of the court at least once a year in each county 
 of the state, by the justices or some one of them. 
 
 February 22, 1788, the state legislature by enactment established 
 courts of oyer and terminer, having general criminal jurisdiction, and 
 directed that the justices of the supreme court, or either of them, to- 
 gether with the judges and assistant judges of the courts of common 
 pleas of each county of the state, or any three or more of them, should 
 constitute the court. The terms of oyer and terminer were also au- 
 thorized to be held in the respective counties at the times when the jus- 
 tices of the supreme court should be holding the circuit court in such 
 county. 
 
 The supreme. court, the circuit court thereof, and the court of oyer 
 and terminer having been thus established throughout the state prior 
 to the erection of Steuben county, the county became subject to the ju- 
 risdictions thereof from the time of its organization. 
 
 Courts of common pleas, having limited civil jurisdiction, and courts 
 of general sessions or general sessions of the peace, having limited crim- 
 inal jurisdiction within the respective counties of the state, had also 
 been provided for by the state constitution and by various acts of the 
 
42 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 state legislature before the erection of this county. The new state con- 
 stitution, adopted in 1847, provided for one county judge in each coun- 
 ty — except the county of New York — who alone held the county court, 
 which was thus made to supplant the court of common pleas. The 
 county judge also, together with two justices of the peace, called jus- 
 tices for sessions, holds the court of sessions, having limited criminal 
 jurisdiction within the county which, in turn, since January 1, 1847, 
 has supplanted the court of general sessions or general sessions of the 
 peace. 
 
 Courts of probate, or what are known as Surrogate's courts, had also 
 been instituted throughout the state prior to 1796, by common law ju- 
 risdiction and by an act of legislation passed February 20, 1787, and 
 by legislative acts subsequent thereto. These courts had, originally, 
 general jurisdiction of the probate of wills, administration of decedents' 
 estates, and of all controversies relating thereto. The original statute 
 of 1 787 provided for the appointment of a sole surrogate in and for each 
 county by the governor of the state and the council of appointment, to 
 serve during the pleasure of such council. The revised statutes of 1830 
 authorized the nomination and appointment of surrogates by the gover- 
 nor of the state, with the consent of the state senate, and fixed the ten- 
 ure of their office at a term of four years. Surrogates in and for each 
 respective county continued to be appointed, with some subsequent 
 modifications and conditions, until the new state constitution ofl847- 
 
 Courts of justices of the peace, having specific and limited jurisdic- 
 tion of petty civil controversies , and courts of general sessions of the 
 peace, held by justices of the peace, having jurisdiction of petty crimes 
 and misdemeanors, were also inaugurated throughout the various coun- 
 ties of the state at the time of the organization of this county; and they 
 are still continued, having nearly the same general jurisdiction of petty 
 crimes and misdemeanors, and now denominated courts of special sess- 
 ions. Justices of the peace were originall 5* appointed by the governor 
 of the state and the council of appointment under provision of the con- 
 stitution of 1777; and their tenure of office was during the pleasure of 
 the council of appointment, with the further requirement that commis- 
 sions of appointment should be issued at least once in three years. Jus- 
 tices of the peace continued to be appointed until the amendment to the 
 state constitution, ratified in November, 1826, since which time they 
 have been chosen by the electors within the various towns of the state. 
 The tenure of office is now for a term of four years. 
 
 Steuben county is twenty-third in the order of the erection ©f the 
 counties of the state. After its organization the Steuben county bar 
 naturally came into existence. Says McMaster: "A few straggling 
 birds of legal feather had alighted on the Pine Plains in the preceeding 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 43 
 
 year, but were not recognized as constituting a distinct and independent 
 confederacy." 
 
 The first arrival is said to have been George D. Cooper, of Rhinebeck, 
 on the Hudson, who was appointed first clerk of the county. The next 
 arrivals were Messrs. David Jones, Peter Masterton, Thomas Morris, 
 Stephen Ross, David Powers and William Verplank, who were followed 
 by William Howe Cuyler, of Albany. 
 
 William Kersey, a Quaker from Philadelphia, was the first presiding 
 judge. He came to Steuben as a surveyor and practiced that profess- 
 ion besides performing the duties of judge of the county for several years . 
 Abraham Bradley and Eleazer Lindsley were associate judges. The 
 record declares: 
 
 "Proclamation made and court opened. Proclamation made for 
 silence; commissions to the Judges, Justices, Sheriff, Coroner and Sur- 
 rogate read; George Hornell, Uriah Stephens and Abel White were 
 qualified for Justices of the peace; Stephen Ross as Surrogate." 
 
 The assembling of court at Bath in the early days, oftentimes was 
 attended with perplexing difficulties to the inhabitants, who were obliged 
 to furnish sustenance to the large number attending. We are told that 
 Colonel Williamson transported his first flour from Northumberland, 
 and his pork from Philadelphia. Afterward these luxuries were obtained 
 nearer home. Flour was brought on pack-horses from Tioga Point, 
 and from the Friends Settlement, over which the prophetess Jemima 
 Wilkinson presided, where a mill was early established. Notwithstand- 
 ing these resources, during times of public gatherings, Bath was often 
 reduced to great straits, and provisions brought an exhorbitant price. 
 
 "The Canisteo boy brought over his bag of wheat on a horse, threw 
 it down at the door of the agency -house, and was paid five dollars the 
 bushel. He drove his bullock across the hills, slaughtered it at the 
 edge of the village, and sold everything from hoof to horn for a shilling 
 a pound. He led over a pack-horse laden with grain, paid all expenses, 
 treated, and took home eighteen dollars. One old farmer remembers 
 paying two dollars and a half for a hog's head, 'and it was half hair at 
 that.' Bath was just like SanFrancisco,' says an old settler on the 
 comfortable farms of Pleasant Valley, H straw was a shilling abunchand 
 everything else in proportion. Money was plenty, but they almost 
 starved out. They once adjourned court because there was nothing to 
 eat. If it had not been for the Valley, the Pine Plains would have been 
 depopulated. After court had been in session two or three days, you 
 would see a black boy come down here on a horse, with a big bas- 
 ket foraging. He would go around to all the farms to get bread, meat, 
 eggs, or anything that would stay life. Bath was the hungriest place in 
 creation. 
 
 "The citizens of the county made court week a kind of general 
 gathering time, and the larders of Bath were sometimes speedily exhaust- 
 ed. The prudent juryman, before setting out from home, slung over 
 his shoulder a bag containing a piece of cold pork, and a huge loaf of

 bread; for no one knew to what extremities the ministers of justice might 
 be reduced."* 
 
 According to General McClure's account, the next legal gentleman 
 to arrive after Messrs. Masterton and Jones, was Dominick Theopholus 
 Blake, an educated Irishman, whose dialect and manner of speech af- 
 forded much amusement for his associates of the bar. He remained 
 but a short time. 
 
 General Cuthbert Harrison, a Virginian, was among the early law- 
 yers. General McClure describes him as a "man of good sense, and 
 whether drunk or sober, a good-narured, clever fellow." 
 
 The following amusing anecdote, contributed by a member of the 
 Steuben count3 T bar to the "Knickerbocker Magazine," is said to re- 
 late to Judge Helm of the court of common pleas, a sketch of whom 
 may be found in the history of Bath. 
 
 " Among them was a jolly old Virginian, Judge H , a sportsman 
 
 of the old school of buff breeches andfair top-boots, well known through- 
 out the country for genial habits and generous hospitality. He had 
 been appointed judge of the court of common pleas. Though little 
 versed in legal technicalities, he possessed a fund of genuine, common 
 sense, which made him a good judge. On one occasion, in the ab- 
 sence of the first judge, it fell to him to charge the grand jury. The 
 substance of the charge, so characteristic of the man and of his opinions, 
 is here given : "Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : — In the absence of the 
 first judge, it becomes my duty to address you. If you expect much of 
 a charge you will be disappointed, as it will be nothing but a squib. I 
 see among you many gentlemen who understand the duties of grand 
 jurors better than I do. I need only say, then, you know your duties, 
 go ahead and perform them. The sheriff has handed me his criminal 
 calender, by which it appears he has five poor devils in jail for various 
 offences: two of them for horse-stealing. Now, gentlemen, there are 
 grades in crimes and common sense would indicate that the punishment 
 should be in proportion to the criminality of the offense, as exhibited by 
 the circumstances of each case. That I suppose is the law ; if it is not 
 it ought to be so. You will understand what I mean by this, when I 
 inform you that one of these scamps stole a slab-sided Yankee mare, 
 while the other took a Virginia blood-horse. Two others are indicted 
 for mayhem. One of them for biting off a negro's nose, which I think 
 exhibits a most depraved appetite ; the other for gouging out an Irish- 
 man's eye, a most ungentlemanly way of fighting. I hope you will look 
 well to these fellows. The last is a poor cuss who stole a jug of whis- 
 key. The article is so plenty and cheap that it may be had by asking, 
 anywhere, and stealing is the meanest kind of offense, and deserves the 
 severest punishment that the law will permit. The great men at Al- 
 bany have made it our special duty to charge you in regard to private 
 lotteries. What is the mighty crime involved in this business I cannot 
 see, when hustling and pitching coppers is tolerated : but I suppose 
 
 *McMaster.

 they know, and as the law makes it our duty, I charge you to look out

 trolling motive of his life. Upon reaching his majority he removed to

 dent in the office of George Miles, then a leading member of the Alle-

STEUBEN COUNTY. 75 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 The County Press — Early Newspapers — Newspapers of Bath — Of Addison 
 — Of Avoca — Of Canisteo — Of Cohocton — Of Corning — Of Horneixsville 
 — Of Prattsburgh — Of Urbana. 
 
 NEARLY simultaneous with the erection of Steuben county, its first 
 newspaper made its appearance at Bath — a mark of enterprise and 
 progress in any community. There was then no paper published 
 west of Utica where the " Gazette " had been established in 1793, and 
 where it is still issued as the " Morning Herald and Daily Gazette." 
 
 Captain Williamson procured from Northumberland or Sunbury, Pa., 
 the outfit required for a newspaper office. We give below an account 
 of the newspapers of Bath, prepared by George B. Richardson of that 
 place, one of the oldest printers in Steuben county. 
 
 Bath. — ' ' The Bath Gazette and Genesee Advertiser' ' was unquestion- 
 ably the first newspaper printed in Steuben county. It was published 
 by William Kersey and James Edie; the first number of which was issued 
 near the first of October 1796. In 1798 Colonel Williamson said: — 
 " The printer of ' The Ontario Gazette ' dispenses weekly not less than 
 one thousand papers and the printer of the ' Bath Gazette ' from four 
 hundred to five hundred. " As near as can be ascertained at this late 
 date the " Bath Gazette " lived some four years. 
 
 ' ' The Western Republican ' ' was commenced at Bath in September 
 1819 by Erastus Shepherd. In November 1822, the name was changed 
 to the " Steuben Republican," and in February 1823, its publication 
 was suspended. 
 
 ' ' The Steuben Whig ' ' was published at Bath during the political 
 campaign of 1828 by Wm. M. Swaine, the founder of the " Philadel- 
 phia Ledger." A file of the paper can be seen in the village of Bath. 
 
 " The Steuben and Allegany Patriot," the second newspaper printed 
 in Bath was issued by Benjamin Smead, the first number of which made 
 its appearance on or about the first of December, 18 16. The " Patriot " 
 under different names remained in the Smead family up to the fourth of 
 April, 1849, when it passed into the hands of William C. Rhodes who 
 continued its publication as the " Steuben Farmers' Advocate " up to 
 January 30th, 1857, when the office took fire and the establishment was 
 entirely consumed. Mr. Rhodes sold the good will of the concern to 
 P. S. Donahe who, on the 31st of May, 1857, resumed the publication 
 of the " Steuben Farmers Advocate," A. J. McCall, editor. In the 
 summer of i860 Mr. Donahe sold out to A. I,. Underhill, the present 
 owner. 
 
 " The Steviben American " was started in Bath January 1st, 1856, by 
 
76 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 A. L. Underhill and published until the summer of 1857, when it was 
 sold to P. S. Donahe. The printing office was used thereafter to publish 
 the " Steuben Farmers' Advocate " which had a few weeks before been 
 destroyed by fire. 
 
 ' ' The Steuben Messenger ' ' was commenced in Bath by David Rum- 
 sey, the first number of which was issued on the 17th day of April, 1828. 
 On the second day of December, 1830, Mr. Rumsey sold out to S. M. 
 Eddy who continued its publication for a time and sold out to W. P. 
 Angel. When Mr. Angel got control of the paper he changed the name 
 to " The Constitutionalist," and continued its publication till some 
 time in 1834, when it passed into the hands of Charles Adams. On the 
 10th day of February, 1841, Mr. Adams sold to R. L,. Underhill and 
 the paper was continued in the name of M. F. Whittemore &Co., till 
 the spring of 1843 when it passed into the hands of George B. Richard- 
 son and John Dowe who continued it as the ' ' Steuben Democrat ' ' till 
 sometime in 1844 when its publication was suspended. In 184S the 
 " Democrat " was revived by L. J. Bush, and in 1849 it passed into the 
 hands of George H. Bid well by whom it was continued till 1852. 
 
 ' ' The Primitive Christian ' ' was printed in the office of Richardson 
 & Dowe in 1844. Rev. Jabez Chadwick was the editor and publisher. 
 It was an octavo and issued monthly. It lived less than two 3-ears. 
 
 ' ' The Temperance Gem ' ' was printed in the Advocate office for 
 Jennie and Caroline Rumsey in 1 854 . It was afterward printed in Elmira . 
 
 "The Rose" a literary monthly was published in the office of Rich- 
 ardson an Dowe for J. C. Vincent in 1844 and was discontinued when 
 the editor enlisted as a soldier in the Mexican war. 
 
 "The Steuben Courier" was established in 1843 by Henry H. Hull 
 who for a time had associated with him M. F. Whittemore. The 
 "Courier" was at first a six column paper 21 x 31 inches and was the 
 only Whig organ in the count}'. Mr. Whittemore retired in two years 
 and Mr. Hull conducted it alone until 1856, when Charles G. Fairman 
 of Elmira was taken into partnership for nine months. In 1854, upon 
 the formation of the Republican, party the "Courier" became as it is to- 
 day an exponent of Republican principles. In 1864 Mr. Hull formed a 
 partnership with Enos W. Barnes and the firm of Hull and Barnes ex- 
 isted with the exception of six month in 1868 until July 1st, 1875, when 
 Mr. Barnes retired and Harry S. Hull son of the senior partner took 
 his place and the firm name was H. H. Hull and Son for a year, when 
 the partnership ended by the death of the senior member. Harry S- 
 Hull conducted the paper alone till his death, July nth, 1890. Some 
 months after, the "Courier" was bought by the Courier Company, Lim- 
 ited, which is now conducting the business. It is now a nineteen 
 column paper 28 x 44 inches.

 "The Saturday News" was established by Enos W. Barnes who 
 issued the first number on April 25, 1868. It only lived some five or 
 six months. 
 
 "The Tri-Weekly Conservative." Charles Clute commenced the 
 publication of this paper in August, 1868 and continued it for about six 
 months. It was a spicey little sheet. 
 
 "The Bath Echo" was published by Clute and McCall for four or 
 five months in 1874. 
 
 "The Bath Sunday News" was published about six months by L. 
 R. Smith and Co.,— A. E. McCall editor— in the year 1881. 
 
 "The Bath Plaindealer" was started May 5th 1883 by A. Ellas Mc- 
 Call, Orson L- Drew and William Black, with office in the basement of 
 the Opera House Block. It was afterward moved up stairs, and now 
 occupies a store in the Ives Block. Mr. Drew retired in May 1884 and 
 Mr. Black in December the same year. It has since been run by Mr. 
 McCall alone. It is an eight page paper containing forty-eight columns. 
 "The Savona Rustler," issued weekly, was established May 19, 1888, 
 by T. L. Ward. It is independent in politics. 
 
 Addison. — "Addison Advertiser." Many attempts had been made 
 to establish a paper at Addison prior to the publishing of the "Adver- 
 tiser." It was first issued in March, 1858, as a four-paged paper, six 
 columns to the page, and "independent on all subjects." 
 
 Hon. Henry M. Johnson was the founder. Col. Henry Baldwin, of 
 Addison, was active in establishing this paper and was a partner in its 
 publication for several months. In the summer of 1858, Colonel Bald- 
 win retired, leaving Mr. Johnson sole proprietor. 
 
 At the time the paper was started the material' used was^ mostly sec- 
 ond-hand and small in quantity. Its first press was a Washington 
 hand-press. Before it had attained the age of one year, it dropped its 
 independent principles and avowed itself "Democratic on all subjects." 
 Later it espoused the republican cause and continued a Republican pa- 
 per until the presidential campaign of 1872, when it advocated the elec- 
 tion of Horace Greeley and remained a Liberal Republican until the fol- 
 lowing January. 
 
 From July, 1865, to January 1, 1866, the paper was conducted by 
 Johnson, Dow & Bates, H. S. Dow and W. R. Bates having entered 
 into partnership with Mr. Johnson. September 4, 1867, Amos Roberts 
 purchased a half interest in the "Advertiser," and its publication was 
 continued under the firm name of Johnson & Roberts. George H. 
 Hollis purchased the office January 30, 1873, and published the paper 
 as an independent journal until the nomination of S. J. Tilden for pres- 
 ident in 1876, when it supported Tilden and Hendricks, continuing 
 Democratic in politics until about 1 88 1. Amos Roberts then became 
 
78 STECBEN' COUNTY. 
 
 sole proprietor and has since conducted it as a Republican paper. It 
 has been enlarged, new material and a power press added. The paper 
 has gained largely in circulation and influence, and has long since been 
 established on a firm and paying basis. 
 
 "The Addison Record" was established by O. B. Ireland, December 
 3, 1881. Mr. Ireland was succeded by F. B. Orser and George Jones, 
 who on March 25, 1882, were succeeded by M. Kinne. The paper has 
 been conducted by the present proprietor, C. B. Mowers, since June 1 1 , 
 1886. It is Democratic in politics. 
 
 Avoca.— "The Avoca Advance."— In the fall of 1S78 W. E. Church- 
 ill opened a job printing office in the village of Avoca. In May, 1879, 
 he sold the office to W. T. Coggeshall, who issued Vol. 1, No. 1 of 
 "The Avoca Advance," a weekly paper, on the 17th day of May, 1879. 
 Martin A. Hoadly purchased the "Advance" in 1S83, and was the edi- 
 tor and proprietor until April, 1884, when he sold to Alvin Wood, 
 who issued it until August, 1887, when the plant was sold to Fred C. 
 Dean, who, on account of sickness, was unable to assume the duties 
 and control and at once sold to W. T. Coggeshall and George C. Sils- 
 bee. In March, 1888, the co-partnership was dissolved, Mr. Cogge- 
 shall retiring. The paper has always been independent in politics. Since 
 Mr. Silsbee has had control of the paper it has been enlarged. A new 
 Howe cylinder press has taken the place of the hand-press and the office 
 where the plant is now located has been built. It now has a circula- 
 tion of nearly fifteen hundred. 
 
 Canisteo. — "The Canisteo Times" is a weekly newspaper started in 
 the village of Canisteo January 25, 1877, by S. H. Jennings. F. B. 
 Smith, the present editor and proprietor, assumed control of the paper 
 on April 1, 1886, and soon after enlarged it to an eight page paper. 
 It is an enterprising sheet and has a circulation of from fifteen hundred 
 to two thousand copies. 
 
 Cohocton. — The first newspaper established in Cohocton was in 1859, 
 by William Waite Warner, and was called the "Cohocton Journal." 
 It was only issued about two years when Mr. Warner moved west. The 
 next paper was a weekly published by H. B. Newell in 1872, called 
 the "Cohocton Herald," and shortly afterward purchased by James C. 
 Hewitt and changed to the "Cohocton Tribune." In 1875 William A. 
 Carpenter became the proprietor and changed the name to the "Cohoc- 
 ton Valley Times," which name it still retains. Edgar A. Higgins 
 succeeded Mr. Carpenter in 1878, who continued to own the paper un- 
 til November, 1889, when he sold out his interest. Since that time 
 S. D. Shattuck has been the editor. The "Times" is non-partisan in 
 politics. 
 
 Corning. — "The Corning Journal," a weekly Republican newspaper, 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 79 
 
 is the oldest newspaper in the city of Corning. It was established by 
 Thomas Messenger, in May 1 847 , who remained editor and proprietor 
 until Jul}' 185 1, at which date the establishment was purchased by A. 
 W. McDowell and Dr. George W. Pratt. The latter became editor, 
 and in April, 1853, purchased Mr. McDowell's interest, and remained 
 sole editor and proprietor until July i869,whenhe sold one-half interest 
 to T. S. DeWolf. On November 1, 1874, Dr. Pratt again became sole 
 proprietor and has conducted the paper since. His son, Harry H.Pratt 
 is the associate editor. 
 
 The present "Daily and Weekly Democrat" was first published as 
 the "Corning Semi-Weekly Sun" in 1S53 by M. M. (Brick) Pomeroy 
 and VanGelder. Rev. Ira Brown bought the paper in 1854. He pub- 
 lished it weekly and changed the name to: "The Southern Tier Far- 
 mer." From April to November 1857 this paper was published by C. 
 T. Huson and Frank B. Brown as the "Corning Democrat." 
 
 From November 1859 until June 1885 F. B. Brown was sole pro- 
 prietor of the Democrat. Since the latter year, this office has published 
 both a daily and weekly edition under the firm name of F.B.Brown and 
 Son. 
 
 "The Corning Independent" was first issued December 1874 by P. S. 
 DeWolf. DeWolf sold it to Dr. A. J. Ingersoll about two years after- 
 ward. While Dr. Ingersoll owned that office the paper was published 
 as a Green Back organ by Uri Mulford. The paper was discontinued 
 in 1879. 
 
 "The Evening Chronicle" a daily newspaper neutral in politics, was 
 started by Mr. Ed. Mott, May 4, 1891. 
 
 ^Newspapers in Hornellsville. 
 The newspapers now published in Hornellsville are, in the order of 
 their establishment : ' ' The Tribune , ' ' daily and weekly ; ' ' The'Times ' ' 
 daily and weekly; "The Herald," weekly, and "The Press," daily. 
 
 "The Hornellsville Tribune" was established November 3, 1851, by 
 Edwin Hough, who brought to Hornellsville its first printing office. 
 That was about a year after the completion of the New York and Erie 
 Railroad to this point, a period of marked growth and prosperity for 
 Hornellsville. The newspapers of that day did not pay the attention 
 which is now given to local news, but the "Tribune "of those years was a 
 faithful chronicler of the progress of its vicinity. At first an indepen- 
 dent newspaper, it became Democratic for about two years, but espoused 
 the Republican cause with the organization of that party and remained so 
 until its sale in 1869 to D. R. Shafer. Since that time it has been 
 Democratic. Its founder, Edwin Hough, was a publisher of the old

 school .conscientious and candid, as an editor,painstaking and thorough, 
 as a printer. He died in Hornellsville May 3, 1870 at the age of 
 seventy -two. Connected with this paper, the names of Charles A. 
 Kinney, Arthur S. Baker and Charles M. Beecher should also be men- 
 tioned for good work done, at different periods, in local journalism. 
 The Tribune has been published,successively, by Edwin Hough, Hough 
 and Kinney, Hough and Baker, E. Hough and Son, Hough and 
 Beecher, E. H. Hough, D. R. Shafer, Greenhow and Son and W. H. 
 Greenhow, its present proprietor. For a few weeks in 1873, the Trib- 
 une published a tri-weekly edition* The daily Tribune was first issued 
 February 4, 1878, as an afternoon paper and has continued under the 
 same management as the weekly. 
 
 "The National American " was established February- 13th, 1856, by 
 D. C. Pruner and C. M. Harmon. Under Mr. Harmon's editorship it 
 was an ably conducted paper, American in politics. He was assisted 
 in literary work by Willie E. Pabor, of Brooklyn. Mr. Harmon subse- 
 quently conducted a newspaper at Ravens wood, West Va., and his office 
 was destroyed by a rebel mob in 1S62. He died at Hornellsville July 
 22, 1868. "The American " became the property of Charles A. Kin- 
 ney in September 1858. He soon changed its name to " The Canisteo 
 Valley Journal ' ' and made of it a newsy local newspaper, independent 
 in politics. Mr. Kinney was a readj' writer and an enterprising 
 publisher. He relinquished journalism to enter the service of his coun- 
 try as a member of the 130th regiment N. Y. volunteers. He died of 
 yellow fever at Xewbeme, N. C, September 1864, in the fortieth year 
 of his age. He had sold the "Journal," in January 1861, to R. S. 
 Lewis, an editor of ability and experience who is now the successful 
 publisher of the " Batavian," at Batavia, N. Y. The " Journal " was 
 continued by Mr. Lewis as a Republican newspaper until August 1862, 
 when it was discontinued. 
 
 " The Democratic Vidette " was established September 28, 1865, by 
 Burdick Bros., and was published successfully by Burdick & Cooper, 
 John M. Riley & Co., A. J. Riley & Co. and Wm. H. Baldwin. It 
 was Democratic in politics. O. R. Burdick was one of the most brilliant 
 writers of the local press. He wrote over the pseudonym of " Sparks." 
 He was killed by the cars October 28, 1865. Mr. Baldwin has since 
 achieved success in the publication of the " Democrat," at Watkins, 
 X. Y. He sold the Vidette office to Thacher & Tuttle, who changed 
 its name to " The Canisteo Valley Times," and made it Republican in 
 politics, beginning with its publication January 10, 1S67. Mr. Thacher 
 had had experience in journalism, in Kansas, and his forcible and 
 felicitous writing did much in placing the ' ' Times ' ' at the front rank 
 of that day. Others, connected with the editorial management of the 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 8 1 
 
 " Times" were Johnson Brigham, a brilliant and effective journalist 
 now in charge of the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, "Republican;" H. S. 
 Tomer, who is now doing good work on the Rochester ' ' Herald ' ' and 
 John W. Mack now of New York city. Following the retirement of 
 Mr. Thacher, in 1877, the "Times" has been published, in turn, by 
 R. M. Turtle, Tuttle & Brigham, Johnson Brigham, Tomer, Dolson & 
 Jackman, Dolson & Mack, J. S. Dolson and "The Times Association," 
 who now conduct it, with R. M. Tuttle as editor and A. H. Bunnell as 
 business manager. The Daily edition of the " Times " began with the 
 "The Daily News" — Hornellsville's first daily newspaper — a little 
 two-column folio established by Benzinger& Osincup, October 22, 1877. 
 They sold it to Tuttle & Brigham February 25, 1878, who enlarged it 
 and continued its publication as the "Daily Times." The "Daily 
 Times ' ' was changed from an evening to a morning paper in Septem- 
 ber, 1883. 
 
 " The Economist," the first number of which was issued March 8", 
 1872, was started as an advertising sheet published weekly, in the in- 
 terest of M. A. Tuttle and other merchants. After running a year it 
 was sold to Graham & Dawson and issued as the ' ' Hornellsville 
 Herald." It soon espoused the Prohibition cause, which it ably main- 
 tained for some time. Its editor, Miles G. Graham was a vigorous 
 writer and enthusiastic in the cause he advocated. He subsequently 
 published a paper at Cobleskill, N. Y. In 1876 Mr. E. H. Hough pur- 
 chased the "Herald " and still conducts it. 
 
 The first paper in this city in the interest of the Greenback party was 
 started by J. Willett Smith January 19, 1878. It was named "The 
 Reveille," and was printed at the "Tribune" office. After two weeks 
 publication it was sold to James D. Adams, who brought a printing office 
 from Andover, and continued the paper as ' ' The Greenback Champion. ' ' 
 Adams published the paper one year, when it was discontinued for want 
 of sufficient support. About three months after the suspension of the 
 " Champion," David Healey purchased the material and revived the 
 paper under the name of "The Invincible." He formed a partnership 
 with Martin Battle, of Montreal, Canada, and for a few months the pa- 
 per was run by Healy & Battle. The latter soon retired and Healey 
 ran the paper alone until January, i88o,^vhen it was sold to John To- 
 lan. It was subsequently run by Tolan & Osincup, and by Tolan 
 Brothers (John and Mark H.) In June, 188 1, the " Invincible" gave 
 place to ' ' The Daily Independent, ' ' an evening paper, independent in 
 politics. In October, 1881, the "Independent" was changed to a 
 morning paper, and published by Tolan Bros. & Shattuck. Its pub- 
 lication was suspended December 25, 1881. 
 
 "The Steuben Signal," a Prohibition newspaper, was established 
 
82 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 April 4, 1883, though four numbers had been issued as a campaign 
 sheet in the autumn before. It was published for " The Signal Pub- 
 lishing Co.;" and was continued five years. By extensive canvassing 
 it had for its first j r ear a circulation of ten thousand copies, and main- 
 tained a large circulation so long as it was published. 
 
 " The Era " was established in 1887 by S. H. Jennings, in the in- 
 terest of the Labor part}'. After running about a year it was removed 
 to Almond. 
 
 "The Daily Press " was established March 9, 18S9, by the " Press 
 Publishing Co.," consisting of John*Tolan and Leon Hough, and pub- 
 lished from the " Herald" office. In February, 1890, Mr. Tolan se- 
 cured an independent office from which he has since published the 
 " Press " as sole proprietor. It is an evening paper, independent in 
 politics. 
 
 Prattsburgh. — "The Prattsburgh News" was established by P. C. 
 Howe & Sons, December 12, 1872. It is a successor to the " Pratts- 
 burgh Advertiser," published by Caleb B. Hoke. It is now conducted 
 by P. C. Howe's Sons. 
 
 Urbana. — The " Hammondsport Herald" was established May 1, 
 1874, by Mrs. B. Bennitt and Mrs. E. R. Fairchild. It is issued weekly. 
 May 1, 1875, the half interest owned by Mrs. Bennitt was sold to Mrs. 
 Fairchild, the latter having charge of the paper until the fall of 1876, 
 when Mr. L- H. Brown bought a half interest. The partnership ex- 
 isted for one year when Mr. Brown became sole proprietor and still con- 
 tinues to edit and publish the paper. 
 
 Wayland. — "The Union Advertiser" was established by H. B. 
 Newell in the fall of 1863. It is a weekly paper, neutral in politics, 
 and devoted to general news and literature. About 1889 C. F. Newell 
 was admitted and the firm name changed to Newell Brothers. 
 
 "The Wayland Register" was started at Wayland, N. Y., May 1, 
 1889, by C. F. Dean, its present proprietor. It is published weekly and 
 is non-partisan. It is an eight-page, five-column newspaper, 26x40 
 inches . 
 
 Woodhull. — "The Steuben Sentinel," the newspaper published at 
 Woodhull, N. Y., was founded in 1879 by R. C. Park, the present edi- 
 tor and publisher, and comrilenced publication at Troupsburg, N. Y., 
 and continued the same for a period of one year, after which it was re- 
 moved to Woodhull and took up quarters in a small room in the Hop- 
 kins brick block, soon after removing to more commodious quarters in 
 the same building. It has been very successful from the time of its re- 
 moval to this town. About four years ago Mr. Park purchased the 
 building in which the office is now located and is doing an extensive 
 business in the way of job work and book -binding aside from the regu- 
 
STEUBKN COUNTY. 83 
 
 lar newspaper work. The paper has proved a success and maintains a 
 steady growth. It is independent in politics.

 RS the settlement of Steuben county by the whites was not consum- 
 mated until after the American revolution, there is nothing per- 
 taining to that struggle to record in this place. The treat}- of peace 
 in 17S3 between the United States and Great Britain caused an imme- 
 diate suspension of hostilities and a withdrawal from all the posts held 
 by the British in the eastern states. There were still, however, many 
 delicate and difficult questions that remained to be settled, and which 
 were a source of continual irritation and embarrassment. The posts at 
 Oswego and Niagara, and all the western posts were not surrendered 
 until 1796. Says one: "The singular spectacle was presented in the 
 Genesee country, of surveys and settlement going on under the auspices 
 of one government, while the battlements of fortified places, occupied 
 by the troops of another, were frowning upon the peaceable operations 
 of enterprise and industry. ' ' 
 
 The pretext for witholding these posts was, that the United States 
 h ad not fulfilled some of its treaty stipulations ; the one that guaran- 
 teed the payment of debts due from American to British subjects, being a 
 special subject of complaint. But while such were the avowed reasons 
 for not surrendering them, it is quite apparent that they were not the 
 real ones. The surrender of a province such as this, had been as we 
 well know, a sacrifice to necessity on the part of England, humbling to 
 her pride. A suspension of hostilities had been reluctantly consented 
 to, with the lingering hope and expectation that something might occur 
 to prevent the final consummation of separation and independence. 
 The holding of this line of posts afforded a feeble prospect of a success- 
 ful renewal of the struggle through the continued alliance of the In- 
 
84 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 dians, and the placing of obstacles in the way of the peaceable over- 
 tures made to them by our government. Possibly England entertained 
 hopes that free government was a thing to talk about, but would not 
 admit of final consummation. There were differences of opinion they 
 well knew, and radical ones, among those who were to frame the new 
 /system, and the whole matter was looked upon by them — as it really 
 was — surrounded by difficulties and embarrassments, which might pos- 
 sibly result in ultimate failure. Should it be so, the possession of these 
 posts and an alliance with the Indians was a prospective nucleus for re- 
 newing the war and recovering the lost colonies, thus restoring the 
 precious jewel that had dropped from England's crown. And here it 
 may be remarked that the last vestige of such hopes with England was 
 not obliterated until the treaty of Ghent, which closed the war of 
 1812. 
 
 Under the instructions of congress, President Washington, immedi- 
 ately after the peace of 1783, dispatched Baron de Steuben to Quebec 
 to make the neccessary arrangements with Sir Frederick Haldimand for 
 delivering up the posts that had been warned. His mission not only 
 contemplated the delivery of the posts to him, but preparations for their 
 occupancy and repair. The Baron met General Haldimand at Sorel, 
 on a tour to the lakes. He was informed by him that he had received 
 no instructions from his government to evacuate the posts, nor for any 
 act of peace, save a suspension of hostilities. He regarded himself as 
 not at liberty to enter into any negotiations, complained of non-fulfill- 
 ment of treaty stipulations, and even refused the Baron a passport to 
 Detroit. Thus ended the mission; and a long succession of negotia- 
 tions and embarrassments followed, which belong to the province of 
 general history. Our object here has been to furnish an introduction 
 to local events. The following extracts from a communication of Secre- 
 tary Randolph to the British Minister are from the "Maryland Jour- 
 nal:" 
 
 Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1794. 
 
 "An express arrived at the War Office on Saturday last from the Gene- 
 see country (within the state of New York), with dispatches for the Ex- 
 ecutive of the United States, which were immediately laid before the 
 President. Several private letters received by the same conveyance ad- 
 vise that a peremptory order had been issued by Colonel Simcoe, the 
 Governor of Upper Canada, requiring the immediate removal of the in- 
 habitants who have been for some time settled on a tract of land in that 
 country, within the bounds of the United States, agreeably to the treaty 
 of peace. They likewise inform that Capt. Williamson and the other 
 citizens of the United States who are principally concerned in the settle- 
 ment of those lands were determined to resist the said order, and were 
 preparing to oppose any force that may be sent to deprive them of their 
 lawful rights and property.

 Philadelphia, Sept. i, 1794. 
 
 "Sir: — If, after the information upon which my letter of the 20th of 
 May was founded, any considerable doubt had remained of Gov. Sim- 
 coe's invasion, your long silence, without a refutation of it, and our more 
 recent intelligence, forbid us to question the truth. It is supported b3 r 
 the respectable opinions, which have been since transferred to the Ex- 
 ecutive, that in the late attack on Fort Recovery, British officers and 
 British soldiers were, on the very ground, aiding our Indian enemies. 
 
 "But, sir, as if the Governor of Upper Canada was resolved to de- 
 stroy every possibility of disbelieving his hostile views, he has sent to 
 the Great Sodus — a settlement begun on a bay of the same name on 
 Lake Ontario — a command to Capt. Williamson, who derives a title 
 from the State of Xew York, to desist from his enterprise. This man- 
 date was borne by a Lieutenant Sheaffe, under a niilitar}- escort; and, 
 in its tone corresponds with the form of its delivers', being unequivo- 
 cally of a military and hostile nature: — 'I am commanded to declare 
 that during the inexecution of the treat}- of peace between Great Brit- 
 ain and the United States, and until the existing differences respecting 
 it shall be mutually and finally adjusted, the taking possession of any 
 part of the Indian territory, either for the purposes of war or sovereign ty, 
 is held to be a direct violation of his Brittannic Majesty's rights, as the}* 
 unquestionably existed before the treaty; and has an immediate ten- 
 dency to interrupt, and, in its progress, to destroy that good under- 
 standing which has hitherto existed between his Britannic Majesty and 
 the United States of America. I therefore require require you to desist 
 from any such aggression.' R. H. Sheaffe, 
 
 Lieutenant and Qr. Mr. Geifl Dept. of his Britannic Majesty' s service." 
 
 "Capt. Williamson being from home, a letter was written to him b}~ 
 Lieutenant Sheaffe, in the following words: 
 
 "Sodus, i6thAug., 1794. 
 
 "Sir: — Having a special commission and instructions for that pur- 
 pose from the Lieutenant Governor of his Britannic Majesty's Province 
 of U. Canada, I have come here to demand by what authority an estab- 
 lishment has been ordered at this place, and to require that such a de- 
 sign be immediatel5 T relinquished, for the reasons stated in the written 
 declaration accompanying this letter; for the receipt of which protest I 
 have taken the acknowledgement of your agent, Mr. Little. I regret 
 exceedingly in my pravate as well as public character, that I have not 
 the satisfaction of seeing you here, but I hope on my return, which 
 will be about a week hence, to be more fortunate. I am, sir, }'our most 
 obedient servant, R. H. Sheaffe,* 
 
 Lt. sthRegt. Q. M. G. D." 
 
 *The then Lieutenant Sheaffe was afterward the Maj. Gen. Sheaffe, of the war of 
 181-i. At the commencement of the revolution he was a lad residing with his wid- 
 owed mother in Boston. Earl Percy's quarters were in his mother's house. . He 
 became the protege of Percy, received from him a military education, and a com- 
 mission in the army, from which he rose to the rank of Major General. The com- 
 mencement of the war of 1812 found him stationed in Canada. He professed a re- 
 luctance to engage in it, and wished, rather, a transfer to some other country, than 
 a participation in a war against his countrymen. For his exploit at Queenstown 
 Heights, he was created a Baronet. 
 
86 STEUBEN COUNTY. 
 
 Colonel Simcoe was an officer, who, we believe, served with some 
 distinction at the head of a regiment of loyalists in the revolution, a 
 gentleman undoubtedly of ability and discretion, and esteemed a good 
 governor by the Canadians, but one who felt sore at the late discomfit- 
 ure of the royal arms, and who appears to have embraced the delusion 
 for a long time entertained by British officers of the old school of the 
 possibility of marching through America with a brigade of grenadiers. 
 The Duke de la Rochefoucault Liancourt, a French traveler, gives us 
 the key to Colonel Simcoe's character and aspirations. — "He discourses 
 with much good sense on all subjects, but his favorite topics are his 
 projects and war, which seem to be the objects of his leading passions. 
 He is acquainted with the military history of all countries. No hillock 
 catches his eye without exciting in his mind the idea of a fort which 
 might be constructed on the spot, and with the construction of this fort 
 he associates the plan of operations for a campaign, especially of that 
 ■which is to lead him to Philadelphia." 
 
 Captain Williamson resented the affront in a spirited manner. A 
 sharp correspondence followed between him and the trespassing parties. 
 The cabinet at Philadelphia took the matter in hand. The prospect 
 looked, to the men in the forest, decidedly warlike. 
 
 General McClure in his manuscript say: "The administration at 
 Washington* apprised Capt. Williamson of the difficulties that had 
 arisen between this country and Great Britain, and required him to make 
 preparations for defence. He therefore received a Colonel's commission 
 from the governor of New York, and immediately thereafter sent an ex- 
 press to Albany for one thousand stand of arms, several pieces of cannon 
 and munitions of war. He lost no time in making preparations for war. 
 He gave orders to nry friend, Andrew Smith, to prepare timber for 
 picketingt on a certain part of our village and ordered that I should 
 erect block-houses according to his plan. The work went cheerily on. 
 We could rally, in case of alarm, five or six hundred, most of them 
 single men. Our Colonel organized his forces into companies. I had 
 the honor of being appointed Captain of a light infantry company, and 
 had the privilege of selecting one hundred men, non-commissioned 
 officers and privates. In a short time my company appeared in hand- 
 some uniforms. By the instructions of our Colonel we mounted guard 
 every night — exterior as well as interior. Most of our own Indians, 
 whom we supposed were friendly, disappeared, which we thought a 
 very suspicious circumstance."^;

 The disposition to renew the war, the work of mischief that was com- 
 menced and carried on among the Indians — and perhaps the beligerent 
 spirit of Governor Simcoe had been greatly promoted by a measure of 
 Lord Dorchester, after the defeat of St. Clair. Viewing it now, after 
 the lapse of almost a century it is impossible to construe it in any other 
 way than as premeditated attempt to renew the Indian border wars; and 
 as his lordship had but recently returned from a visit to England, it 
 would seem that he acted under home influences which contemplated a 
 re-commencement of hostilities upon a much larger scale. It is supposed 
 that the spirited communication of Secretary Randolph — the letters ac- 
 companying which, we have quoted — induced his Britanic Majesty's 
 plenipotentiary, to curb the further raging of loyal wrath in the bosom 
 of Governor Simcoe. 
 
 Before the victory obtained by General Wayne over the Indians in 
 the north-western territory, in 1794, "the Genesee Indians behaved very 
 rudely; they would impudently enter the houses of the whites in the 
 Genesee country, and take the prepared food from the table without 
 leave, but immediately after Wayne's victory, they became humble and 
 tame as spaniels. ' '* The effect of the decisive victory of General Wayne, 
 put an end to all existing Indian disturbances. 
 
 In 1 81 2 three companies of milita were ordered out for three months 
 service at the beginning of the war — two of them were independent 
 companies of riflemen, and the third a company drafted from the regi- 
 ment. One of the rifle companies, which belonged chiefly to the town 
 of Wayne, was commanded by Capt. James Sanford; the other, which 
 belonged to the town of Urbana, mustered about fifty men, and was 
 commanded by Capt. Abraham Brundage. William White of Pulteney 
 was his first lieutenant and Stephen Gardner ensign. These were or- 
 ganized with two rifle companies from Allegany county, and the bat- 
 talion thus formed was commanded by Maj. Asa Gaylord, of Urbana. 
 Major Gitylord died upon the lines, and the command devolved upon 
 Colonel Dobbins. 
 
 The drafted men were composed of every eighth man of the regiment, 
 and was commanded by Capt. Jonas Cleland, of Cohocton. Samuel D. 
 Wells, of Cohocton, and John Gillet were lieutenants, and John Ken- 
 nedy ensign. 
 
 " These companies reached the frontier just at the time Col. Van 
 Rensselaer, with an army of militia, was about to make an attack upon 
 the works and forces of the British at Queenstown Heights. Captain 
 Cleland, with many of his men, volunteered to cross the boundary.

 foot of a precipitous bank, were fired upon by the British batteries on

 the opposite side, the grape shot rattling furiously against the rocks 
 overhead. The captain advised his men to seek a less exposed posi- 
 tion, and disappeared with some soldiers. He appeared again on the 
 field of battle, over the river, in the course of the forenoon, and com- 
 plaining of illness returned to the American side. Lieutenant Gillet 
 and Ensign Kennedy remained under the fire of the British batteries 
 with most of the men, crossed the river, and went into the battle. 
 
 " The command devolved upon Gillet. It was doubted whether he 
 would prove a brave officer, but to the surprise of all, he rushed into 
 the fight as if he had just found his element, whirled his sword, raised 
 his powerful voice and cheered on hig men. After receiving a danger- 
 ous and almost mortal wound he continued to fight, swinging his hat 
 and brandishing his sword, till he finally sank and fell from pain and 
 exhaustion. 
 
 " Ensign Kenned y then took command, hastily forming the scatter- 
 ing squad which had gathered on that side of the river into a company. 
 At one time the}- were confronted by the Indians, whom the}- drove 
 into a wood. While engaging an irregular fire with these enemies 
 among the trees, Benjamin Welles, a voting man from Bath, who stood 
 beside Kennedy looking over a fence, was shot through the head and 
 mortally wounded. At the final engagement of this random, but often 
 gallantly-fought battle, Kennedy and his men were in the line formed to 
 meet the British re-inforcements which were just coming up. General 
 Wadsworth, upon whom the command devolved after the fall of Van 
 Rensselaer, went through their lines in a rough-and-ready style, with 
 hat and coat off, explaining to the inexperienced officers his plan. To 
 avoid the fire of the British, the men were ordered to retire below the 
 brow of the hill upon which they were ranged, and upon which the en- 
 emy would march. When the British appeared at the top of the hill, 
 the militia were to fire from below. The slaughter would be great; 
 they were then to charge bayonets, and in the confusion might be suc- 
 cessful, though the decisiveness of a charge of bayonets up a hill against 
 veterans by militia who before that day had never been under fire, 
 might well have been doubted. The first part of the plan succeeded 
 famously. As the British appeared above the hill a fire was delivered 
 which was very destructive; but a misapprehension of the word of com- 
 mand by part of the line caused disorder; the fire was returned by the 
 enemy; the militia suffered considerable loss, and fell back overpow- 
 ered to the river, where most of them were made prisoners. Of the 
 Steuben county men, two were killed and three wounded. 
 
 " In the second year of the war, two companies were drafted from 
 the Steuben county militia, and sent to the Niagara frontier, under the 
 command of Captains James Reed, of Urbana, and Johnathan Rowley, 
 of Dansville, faithful and reliable officers. Capt. Reed refused to go as 
 a drafted officer, but reported himself to the general of the division at 
 the commencement of the war as ready to march at the head of a com- 
 pany as a volunteer whenever he should be called upon. Both the 
 companies were principally levied from the northern part of the countv. 
 Of Capt. Rowley's company, John Short and John E. Mulholland were 
 lieutenants, and George Knouse and Timothy Goodrich were ensigns. 
 Of Capt. Reed's company, George Teeples and Anthony Swarthout

 were lieutenants, and Jabez Hopkins and O. Cook ensigns. These 
 companies served about four months. All of the officers and most of 
 the men volunteered to cross into Canada and were stationed at Fort 
 George. 
 
 ' ' The following incident is related by one of the Steuben county 
 militia who was engaged in one of the battles on the Canadian line as 
 sergeant of a company. His company was ordered into action; and be- 
 fore long found itself confronted by a rank of British red-coats. When 
 within a distance often rods of the enemy's line, the militia halted and 
 were ordered to fire. Muskets came instantly to the shoulder, and were 
 pointed at the British with the deadly aim of rifles at a wolf-hunt :;: ; but 
 to the dismay of the soldiers there was a universal ' flash in the pan,' 
 not a gun went off. The sergeant knew in an instant what was the 
 cause of the failure. The muskets had been stacked out of doors during 
 the night, and a little shower which fell towards morning had thorough- 
 ly soaked the powder in them. It was his business to have seen 
 to it that the muskets were cared for, and upon him afterward, 
 fell the blame of the disaster. Nothing could be done until the 
 charges were drawn. There were but two ball screws in the com- 
 pany. The captain took one and the sergeant the other, and be- 
 ginning their labors in the middle of the rank, worked towards the 
 ends. A more uncomfortable position for untried militia can hardly be 
 imagined. The men, as described by the sergeant, 'looked strangely, 
 as he had never seen them before. ' The British brought their muskets 
 with disagreeable precision into position, and fired. The bullets 
 whistled over the heads of the militia. The British loaded their guns 
 again. Again the frightful row of muzzles looked the militia in the 
 face; again the}- heard the alarming command, fire! and again two- 
 score bullets whistled over their heads. A third time the British brought 
 their muskets to the ground, and went through all the terrible ceremonies 
 of biting cartridges, drawing ramrods, and priming in full view of the 
 uneasy militia. The moistened cartridges were by this time almost 
 drawn, and while the enemy were about to fire, the sergeant stood be- 
 side the last man. He was pale and excited, ' Be quick, sergeant ; be 
 quick, for God's sake ! ' he said. They could hear the British officer 
 saying to his men , ' you fire over their heads , ' and instructing them to 
 aim lower. The muzzles this time dropped a little below the former 
 range ; smoke burst forth from them, and seven militia fell dead and 
 wounded. The sergeant had just finished his ill-timed job, and was 
 handing the musket to the private beside him, when a bullet struck the 
 unfortunate man between the eyes and killed him. The fire of the British 
 was now returned with effect. Reinforcements came upon the field, 
 and the engagement became hot. An officer on horseback was very 
 active in forming the enemy's line, riding to and fro, giving loud orders, 
 and making himself extremely useful. 'Mark that fellow' said the 
 sergeant to his right-hand man. Both fired at the same instant. The 
 officer fell from his horse and was carried off the field by his men. 
 They afterward learned that he was a colonel, and that one of his legs 
 was broken.

 last part of the war, if an}' was made, nor concerning the militia of this 
 count}' who were engaged at Fort Erie. "'* 
 
 In the early summer of 1846, President Polk decided to send a force 
 of volunteers by sea to the Pacific coast to engage in the Mexican war. 
 Col. Jonathan D. Stevenson, then of Xew York city, and later of San 
 Francisco, was empowered to raise a regiment in Xew York state, to 
 be known as the Seventh Regiment of Xew York Volunteers, for serv- 
 ice on the Pacific coast, and to colonize our new conquest there. The 
 regiment was to contain ten companies of on hundred men each, rank 
 and file. 
 
 Steuben county was designated as the place for raising one company. 
 William E. Shannon, of Bath, at once volunteered to raise Company 
 A, and in a very brief space of time had enlisted the full complement. 
 The company left Bath August 1, 1S46, for the city of Xew York, 
 where the company was to rendezvous. On its arrival it was accepted 
 and mustered into service as Company I, and went into camp on Gov- 
 ernor's Island. The company was several weeks in camp, and on Sep- 
 tember 26, embarked on the ship " Susan Drew " for their destination. 
 
 After a prosperous voyage of nearly six months, with brief calls at 
 Rio and Valparaiso, the ship cast anchor in the beautiful bay of San 
 Francisco. On the first of April, 1847, the company with others was 
 taken on board the United States ship "Lexington" and landed at 
 Monterey on April 29, and remained there some ten months. They 
 were afterward ordered to San Diego, and took passage on a coasting 
 vessel for San Pedro. Company I, remained there until mustered out 
 of service, September 25, 1848. Capt. Shannon died of cholera at 
 Sacramento, Cal. 
 
 In a work so limited in its scope as this Gazetteer, we can not at- 
 tempt a detailed history of the county in the war of 186 1, consequently 
 must confine ourselves to a brief mention of the regiments and compa- 
 nies made up wholly or in part by Steuben county men. 
 
 In response to President Lincoln's first call for volunteers, Steuben 
 county, acting promptly with Chemung county, sent forth in June, 1861, 
 the 23d Xew York Infantry, which was the first regiment mustered into 
 the service from the Seventh Congressional district. 
 
 Early in the same summer, Capt. John Stocum of Bath, raised and 
 commanded a company which was organized as Battery C, of the 1st 
 X. Y. Light Artillery, and mustered into the United Strtes' service at 
 Elmira. The 34th X. Y. Infantry, containg two companies from Steu- 
 ben county, was mustered at Elmira, June 5, 1S61. The 86th Xew 
 York Volunteers — Steuben Rangers — was organized and sent to the 
 front in 1861. The 50th Engineers, mustered September 18, 1861, was 
 *MclIaster. 
 
STEUBEN COUNTY. 9 1 
 
 partly made up of Steuben county men, and also the 104th N. Y. In- 
 fantry, mustered during the winter of 1861-62. Then came the 107th 
 N. Y. Infantry, chiefly a Steuben regiment, mustered in August, 1862, 
 the 141st Infantry, mustered during the same month; the 161st regi- 
 ment, sent forward in October, 1862 ; the 179th Infantry, which was 
 made up partially from this county, mustered from July, 1863, to Au- 
 gust, 1S64; the 1 88th and 189th Infantry, mustered in October, 1864. 
 Thus it will be seen that from the beginning to the end of the memor- 
 able four years struggle for the national existence, Steuben was con- 
 stantly sending her sons into the service. Most of them made glorious 
 records in the principal campaigns and battles of the war, and many ot 
 them participated in the last great conflict which finally broke the 
 power of the rebellion in 1S65, and rejoiced in the final triumph of the 
 Union cause. 
 
GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 
 
 nOBISON,* originally a part of the old town of Painted Post, was 
 organized as Middletown at the time of the organization of Steuben 
 comity in March. 1796. The name was changed to Addison, in 
 honor of Joseph Addison, the English author, on April 6, 1S0S. The 
 early settlers called it also "Tuscarora." It is an interior town, situ- 
 ated southeast of the centre of the count}-, and lies upon both sides of 
 the Canisteo river. It is bounded north by Thurston and a part of 
 Campbell, east by Erwin, south by Tuscarora and west by Rathbone. 
 The surface is a hilly upland, broken by the valley of the Canisteo and 
 its branches. The principal valley is about one mile wide and is bor- 
 dered by steep hillsides rising from three to four hundred feet. The 
 chief streams are the Canisteo river, Tuscarora and Goodhue creeks. 
 Goodhue lake, in the northwest corner of the town, covers an area of 
 about fifty acres. The alluvial soil of the valleys is rich and produc- 
 tive ; on the hills it is clay mixed with the debris of broken shale, and 
 compares favorably with the average farming lands of the count}'. The 
 population of the town in 1S90 was 2,884. 
 
 The first settlement was made by Samuel Rice in 1791. Mr. Rice 
 was born about fifteen miles from the city of New Haven, Conn., and 
 when but fifteen years of age entered the war of the revolution and 
 served about six months. From Connecticut he moved to the state of 
 New Hampshire, thence to Chenango county in this state. His settle- 
 ment in Addison was made a short distance up Tuscarora creek, near 
 the Wombough mills, where he built the first house erected by a white 
 man in this town. He married Lucretia Martin. Their son Stephen, 
 born April 5, 1791, was the first white child born in the town. Mr. 
 Rice moved with his family to Troupsburgh in 1S05, of which town 
 ilso they were the pioneers. * 
 
 Of those who soon followed Mr. Rice in the settlement of Addison 
 were Reuben and Lemuel Searles, Oliver Miller, George Goodhue, who 
 had previously settled near Painted Post ; John Martin, Jonathan 
 
 *For a portion of this sketch we are indebted to the late Rev. J. H. Blades.

 Tracy, Abel White, Isaac and James Martin, James Benham, Asahel 
 Stiles, Silas Morey, Elisha Gilbert, Lemuel Stiles, William Wombough 
 and Martin Young. The latter came into the country with Col. Ar- 
 thur Erwin. He subsequently settled on the road to Rathboneville, just 
 within the present western boundary line of the town of Addison. He 
 moved to Minnesota, where he died not many years since, having almost 
 attained the age of one hundred years. Lemuel Searles was the next 
 resident below Mr. Young. He occupied the George Underwood farm . 
 John Martin, with a numerous family, lived next below ; then some 
 years later James Baldwin settled on the next farm east, and at the B. 
 Jenning's place lived James Jones, who built a hotel at Cameron about 
 1823. 
 
 Asahel Stiles built a log house near the present site of the Erie de- 
 pot, and there are apple trees still standing upon the bank in rear of 
 that depot that Mr. Stiles set out. His mother, a very aged woman, 
 came here with the family. On one occasion she was left at home alone, 
 and upon the return of the family she informed them that ' ' a big black 
 dog " had been sitting for some time on the ice in the river. Younger 
 members of the family, with better eyesight than she possessed, soon 
 discovered that what she had mistaken for a dog was in reality a bear. 
 "Uncle" Samuel Rice, who was calling at the Stiles house at the time, 
 took up a club and approaching the bear, struck him. Bruin resented 
 such a salute, and, with a deep growl, turned on his assailant. Mr. 
 Rice retreated as fast as he could, which was not very rapid as he had 
 to adopt a peculiar sliding gait in order to avoid raising his heels too 
 near the snout of the infuriated beast, which was close upon him. Mr. 
 Stiles at this juncture came to the rescue with a heavy hoe, such as in 
 those days were made by the local blacksmiths, and striking the bear a 
 stunning blow upon the head, felled him, after which he was killed and 
 dressed. The Stiles family, with some others of the first settlers, used 
 to attend church at Canandaigua, eighty miles distant. 
 
 The streams in those days were literally alive with the finny tribe. 
 Shad and eel from the Chesapeake Bay; trout, pickerel, bull-head,bass, 
 and many other varieties were found. 
 
 This was one of the most famous pine-lumber regions in the state of 
 New York, and it was also a central point of resort for all the lumber- 
 men on the northern border of Pennsylvania and what now constitutes 
 Tuscarora, Woodhull, Jasper, Greenwood and Hornellsville; and inthe 
 spring, year after year, the surface of the Canisteo river was one univer- 
 sal sheet of rafts from Hornellsville to the"Deadwater,"as Addison was 
 then called. And it has been told repeatedly by most reputable per- 
 sons that at this time a man could walk from Addison to Hornellsville 
 on rafts, except where there was a dam or swift water where rafts could

 not be landed. And this explains the fact that the Canisteo Valley 
 raftsmen were said to be the most efficient managers of a raft in high 
 water, to be found in all the country. 
 
 The first properly authorized town-record now in existence bears 
 date October 20, 1799, and commences its history by publishing certain 
 strayed animals, and by whom taken up or cared for. For illustration: 
 
 "Taken up by John Martin, Sept. 7th, 1802, a chestnut-brown horse 
 three years old. Taken up by Lemuel Benham the 10th day of May, 
 1803, a red roan horse, three years old, and had a bell on, and a dog 
 'tended him. Came to the plantation of Sam'l Cole about the first 
 of October, in the year 1805 a small ram sheep with horns, has a crop 
 on left ear." And on the margin of the record is written "sold." 
 
 And then follows a long series of legalized ear-marks for sheep with 
 the several names of owners of said flocks affixed. 
 
 This is followed by a record of the first town meeting, held in and 
 for the town of Middletown, as follows: 
 
 ' ' Votes and proceedings of a town meeting held in and for the town 
 of Middletown, on the first Tuesday in April, 1797. Oliver Miller, 
 town clerk; Reuben Stiles, supervisor; Lemuel Searl, constable; Jona- 
 than Tracy, Asahel Styles, poor-masters; John Martin, George Good- 
 hue, Stephen Dolson, commissioners of highways; Lemuel Searl, collec- 
 tor; Abel White, Jonathan Tracey, Oliver Miller, school commissoners; 
 Reuben Searl, James Benham, poor-masters; Elisha Gilbert, Silas Mory, 
 fence-viewers; Reuben Searl, pound-keeper. Voted that Reuben Searl 's 
 barn-yard, be a town-pound. Reuben Searl, George Goodhue, John 
 Wymanjohn Martin, committee for settling with town of Painted Post. ' ' 
 This committee was necessary as Painted Post was previously connected 
 with the town of Middletown, and when the territory was divided cer- 
 tain monies were left in the town-treasury of Middletown that belonged 
 to Painted Post. 
 
 "Voted, that a lawful fence be four feet and a half high, and but five 
 inches between rails. John Loton, sealer of weights and measures. 
 Voted that a ferry be kept near where the road crosses the river, and 
 that three pence be the charge for a man to cross. That town-meeting 
 be held in school-house, in said town for the year ensuiug. Reuben 
 Searl to take care of the fire, and Timothy Searl, was appointed 
 to take care of the school-house." 
 
 This item is a very important feature in the earty history of the town 
 of Middletown and augured that rapid progress in civilization would be 
 the result, as this in all probability was the first school-house ever built 
 in the county of Steuben. If it did not have a right to the honor of be- 
 ing the first institution of learning, ever erected in the county, it must 
 have been very nearly so. 
 
 The next town meeting for the town of Middletown, was held the 
 first Tuesday in April, 1798. Oliver Miller was elected town clerk: 
 Reuben Searl re-elected supervisor: Jonathan Tracy, George Martin and 
 John Martin, were elected assessors: Robert Martin and Jonathan Tracy, 
 
TOWN OF ADDISON. 95 
 
 overseers of the poor; John Martin, Stephen Dolson and Asa Comstock, 
 were elected commissioners of highways; Reuben Searl Jr., William 
 Morey, constables; Robert Martin, William Morey and Asa Comstock, 
 path-masters; James Benham.Asahel Stiles, Elisha Stiles, fence-viewers. 
 Voted that Reuben Searl 's barn-yard be a town-pound, Reuben Searl 
 be pound keeper; Abel White Esq. , Oliver Miller, Reuben Searl Jr. , 
 school commissioners. " Fence- viewers wages be four shillings per 
 day. L,awful fence the same as last year. Voted that a sign -post be 
 errected on the north side of the river where the bridge is to cross the 
 river." It is evident from this resolution, that the town was seriously 
 contemplating building a bridge across the Canisteo river. 
 
 " Voted that town meeting be held at the school-house for the ensu- 
 ing year." 
 
 On the account of its intense interest in some of its peculiar fea- 
 tures, we will cite at least a part of the town meeting for the year 1799: 
 " Held on the second day of April of said year. At this meeting 
 Oliver Miller was elected town clerk; Reuben Searl re-elected to the 
 office of supervisor; Jonathan Tracy, John Martin and George Martin, 
 assessors; Asa Comstock, John Martin, Henry Tracy, commissioners of 
 highways; Jonathan Tracy and Martin Young, overseers of the poor; 
 Reuben Searl, Jr., constable and collector; Elisha Gilbert, Peter Young 
 and John Van Camp, path-masters; Oliver Miller, Reuben Searl and 
 Abel White, commissioners of schools; Asahel Stiles, Robert Martin, 
 Timothy Searl, re-elected fence- viewers. 
 
 ' ' Voted five pound fine for any entire horse being allowed to run on 
 the commons after two years old. To be recovered by any person tak- 
 ing up the same against the owner. 
 
 ' ' Voted that a tax be made of twenty dollars, to be raised for the sup- 
 port of the poor. To be paid in produce. ' ' 
 
 And then follows one of the most startling statements that could pos- 
 sibly come under the e3'e of the reader, viz., that at such a late date as 
 1 80 1, only ninety years ago, Middletown was cursed with that "sum of 
 all villainies," human slavery — hence the following: 
 
 "Middletown, January 20th, 1801. — Recorded two slaves for the 
 widow Lace. The age of Nancy four years, the age of Samuel Haw- 
 kins three years and three months. 
 
 " Middletown the 9th day of March, 1801. — Recorded two slaves for 
 Thomas Thissel, the age of Luce 15 years, the age of Will 11 years." 
 In the notes of the proceedings of the town meeting for 1803 various 
 monies were paid to Jonathan Tracy, town clerk, for the purpose of 
 building a bridge in Middletown, doubtless the first that ever spanned 
 the waters of the Canisteo river. The following record contains the first 
 tangible evidence of the existence of a board of excise : 
 
 "Be it remembered that we, the commissioners of excise for Middle- 
 town, in the county of Steuben, have resolved, and liscensed the fol- 
 lowing persons to Keep public Inns or Taverns in said Middletown for 
 
96 TOWN OF ADDISON. 
 
 the year 1803, viz.: Elisha Searl, Elisha Gilbert, Robert Martin and 
 Lemuel Benham, and have taken as a duty of excise for the use of said 
 Middletown five dollars for each and every person so liscensed as wit- 
 ness our hand this 4th day of March, 1803. 
 
 ' 'John Knox, 
 "Reuben Searl, 
 "Abel White." 
 
 The record of the doings of the board ef excise for the year following 
 is somewhat different, and it may be a matter of interest in modern 
 times : 
 
 " Be it remembered that we, the commission of excise for Middle- 
 town, in the county of Steuben, have resolved and liscenced the follow- 
 ing persons to Keep public Taverns or Inns at their dwelling houses in 
 said Middletown lor the year 1804." 
 
 In the proceedings of the town meeting for 1808 we find William 
 Wombaugh, Lemuel Searl and Levi Johnson constituted a committee 
 to purchase a burying-ground, clear and fence the same, the expense 
 thereof to be taken out of the treasury of the poor money. In the year 
 181 1, among other business transacted, we find this enactment, " that 
 there be paid ten dollars on each wolf and panther that is killed in the 
 town . ' ' 
 
 In the year 1793 George Goodhue erected the first saw-mill, followed 
 in 1805 by one erected by William Wombough, combined with a grist- 
 mill; then followed in rapid succession various improvements. As soon 
 as proper appliances could be obtained for manufacturing and delivering 
 lumber, the valley of the Canisteo was soon known far and wide as a 
 very- desirable field for the development of mercantile and lumbering 
 business, and the Weatherbys, Shumway, Birdsall and many others op- 
 erated largely in this new country' at this time. In the year 1834, 
 Messrs. Thompson and French built a store on the site known now as 
 the old Smith Block, which was sold in 1838 to Messrs. William R. 
 Smith and Ai Fitch. W. R. Smith spent his life thereafter in Addison 
 and did a great amount of business. Space forbids that we chronicle 
 very many names who figured prominently in the early development of 
 this new country. 
 
 A postoffice was established here in 1804, and the mail brought once 
 a week on horseback from Painted Post as late as 1S30. At that time 
 Addison was the end of the route. In 1831 Dr. F. R. Wagner drew 
 up a petition for a mail twice a week, which was sent to Hon. John 
 Magee, then member of congress. It was granted by the department 
 and William B. Jones, who took the contract, carried the mail from 
 Painted Post to Addison in a two-horse coach. Mails were received 
 afterward tri-weekly and finally daily, before the completion of the Erie 
 railroad. 
 
TOWN OF ADDISON. 97 
 
 The Eagle Hotel occupies the site of a public house kept by William 
 Baskin Jones at a very early day. Jonathan Rowley kept a hotel near 
 where the Methodist church stands . This house was afterward kept by 
 James Baldwin and by a man named Lockerby. It was finally destroyed 
 by fire. Caleb Wetherby also kept a hotel on the north side. James 
 Van Vleck built the first hotel on the south side on the site of the 
 American House. As late as 1819 there was but a small portion of the 
 land south of the river cleared. There was a clearing at the Henry 
 Wombough place at the south end of the suspension bridge, where then 
 lived Wareham Ward. Upon the creek lived a widow named Catlin, 
 and the family of Hezekiah Dolph. Farther up was Wombough's saw- 
 mill, near which lived Matthias Marlatte, who afterward moved to 
 Woodhull, and Samuel Colgrove. These lived at the upper end of the 
 village, and above them was the Brewster farm. Down the river near 
 Curtis & Paxton'smill lived Reuben Newman in a small framed house. 
 Next below, in a log house, lived Ebenezer Swartwood and his father 
 Jacobus. The latter familiarly called " Coby " was a great hunter. 
 Next below, on the Cowley farm was a tavern kept about this time 
 (18 19) by Samuel Colgrove. Near the site of the Goodhue tannery 
 lived Isaiah Jones. He died about 18 19, and his widow continued to live 
 there many years. Nathan Gillan, an Irishman, was the last resident 
 east until we reach the Erwin town line. 
 
 William Wombough was born in Monmouth county, N. J., in 1769, and 
 in the j-ear 1 804 settled in the Tuscarora valley. He purchased one hun- 
 dred and eighty acres of land on Tuscarora creek above the village of Addi- 
 son, built a saw-mill, and in 1 806 erected a grist-mill on Tuscarora creek. 
 He subsequently added to his original purchase until he possessed about 
 two thousand acres. He moved to Woodhull and Troupsburgh where 
 he erected mills. At the time of his settlement here and for many years 
 after he was the only man in the community who had money. He built 
 a log distillery, a carding-mill, and in 1830 a second grist-mill, on the 
 site of the former one. In order to furnish his first mill he was obliged 
 to go to Philadelphia, which he did in a lumber wagon, and returned 
 with the wagon filled with weighty machinery. The incidents connected 
 with such a trip through forests and rough roads, its privations and 
 necessary economy and hardships, are in striking contrast with the rapid 
 transit of the present day. 
 
 Samuel Colegrove who was a prominent character in the early history 
 of Addison, was born in Rhode Island and came here from New Le- 
 banon, Columbia county, N. Y. He was a man well educated for the 
 times, a surveyor by profession, and after his arrival was a magistrate 
 for several years, and was also elected supervisor of the town. He 
 dealt extensively in lumber and produce, shipping it in rafts and arks

 down the river. On one occasion he went down with two large craft 
 loaded with nearly all the salable produce the settlers could spare. 
 Upon his return he announced that he had lost or been robbed of the 
 entire proceeds of his sale and was unable to meet his liabilities. This 
 was a severe blow to those who had entrusted him with their years 's 
 crops, which with many, was all they had to rely upon. All of Mr. 
 Colegrove's available property was taken to pay his debts. He then 
 kept, as we have stated, a hotel which stood on the Cowle} r place. 
 After a time he accumulated a little money and went to the state of 
 Ohio, where he purchased four hundred acres of land — a little prairie near 
 a bay on Lake Erie. He returned to Addison and tried to induce his 
 family to locate on his western purchase with him. For some unknown 
 reason they declined, though he offered each of his four sons a fifty acre 
 farm off his purchase, if they would settle on it. He went back to Ohio 
 alone, and after a short residence there returned east, and traded his 
 western land for a farm at Arkport (now owned by Samuel Pitts), giv- 
 ing a mortgage on the farm for the difference in value. This mortgage 
 he was never able to raise, so lost his farm. In the meantime his wife 
 had died and he moved to Woodhull where he married the widow of 
 Bethiel Tubbs, and where he spent the remainder of his days. Col. 
 Colgrove of Indiana, a valiant soldier of the late war, was a son of the 
 subject of this sketch. In conclusion we will add that the land which 
 Mr. Colgrove took up in Ohio is to-day covered by the most valuable 
 portion of the city of Sandusky. 
 
 Thomas Phillips came here in 1825, built the first mill within the 
 present village limits near Cranes factory, and also the first framed 
 school house, and several stores. He also built a bridge across the 
 river at an early day. He purchased twenty -five hundred acres, above 
 Addison near the Derby switch w hich extended from the Canisteo river 
 to Tuscarora creek, and superintended several saw-mills at one time. 
 Mr. Phillips married Esther Wilcox of Oxford, Chenango countv. 
 Their children were E. Maria, wife of Seth Mullen; Eliza; Austin: Ran- 
 som; Joseph; Libbeus; Thomas Jr.; Theodore; Louisa: Ann; Hannah: 
 Esther and Myra. Mr. Phillips brought his family here in 1827.

 The family of Baldwin is descended from Benjamin Baldwin who 
 emigrated from Buckingham count}', England, in 1636, and settled in 
 New London, Conn. His grandson, Isaac Baldwin, Sr., removed with 
 his family from Norwich, Conn., to Wyoming Valley, Pa., where they 
 remained but a few years in consequence of the Pennamite and Indian 
 wars. They removed to the vicinity of Ulster, and subsequently, in the 
 year 17S7, farther up the Chemung river to what is now the town of 
 Chemung, then a part of Tioga county, X. Y. He was born in Nor- 
 wich, Conn., June 12, 1730; married Patience Rathbuu, November

 Jr., was born in Canterbury, Conn., in 1795. His minority was spent 
 at home. In 1812 he was connected with the Light Guards, and soon 
 thereafter, gained the rank of major. He came to Tioga, Pa., and in 
 1825, married Parmelia, daughter of William Wombough. In the fall 
 of 1S34, having disposed of his property in Pennsylvania, he settled 
 about one mile east of the village of Addison where he purchased some 
 six hundred acres of timber and farming land. In 1851 he moved to 
 the village of Addison and retired from the more active duties of life. 
 He died in 1S53, and his wife in 1867. Their children are Mrs. Rufus 
 N. Weatherby, William W., a lawyer, who died in 1852, aged twenty-

 John W. Dininny was born in the town of Milford, now Oneonta, on 
 the 23rd day of June, 1820. In 1832 he emigrated with his parents to 
 the town of Addison now Turcarora then a wilderness. For several 
 years he was engaged in clearing land, lumbering and performing such 
 labor as was common in that wild and uncultivated town. He was 
 educated at the Oneida Institute and the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary , 
 finishing his education at that seminary in 1842. For several years after 
 he left the seminary he was engaged in teaching school. The last was

 a high school in the village of Addison, which he closed in 1845. In 
 1845 he entered the law office of Hon. Andrew G. Chatfield in the vil- 
 lage of Addison as a student, and in January 1849, was by an order of 
 the supreme court admitted to practice in all the courts of this state. 
 In March 1859, he was admitted to practice as an attorne)- and counsel- 
 lor in the supreme court of the United States at Washington, D. C. He 
 was married in 1849 to Miss Sarah A. Coburn. Four children were 
 born to them namely, Harper F., Carleton V., William B. and S. 
 Georgiana. 
 
 In 1850 he formed a partnership for the practice of law with his 
 brother, Hon. Ferral C. Dininny. That partnership continued until 
 1863, when Ferral C. Dininny retired, leaving a large and extensive 
 business in charge of Mr. John W. Dininny, which he conducted with 
 success, except while he was in the army. When the 141st regiment 
 New York volunteers was organized he was offered the position of Ma- 
 jor, which he accepted, and in September, 1S62, was mustered into the 
 United States service ; immediately left with the regiment to take part 
 in the stirring scene's at the south. 
 
 He continued in active service as Major, much of the time in com- 
 mand of the regiment, until February, 1863, when, on the resignation 
 of Col. S. G. Hathaway, he was promoted and commissioned colonel. 
 He was an active, prompt and efficient officer, some of the time per- 
 forming the duties of a general officer. He took part in many of the 
 exciting incidents connected with the army in Virginia, in front of and 
 around Richmond. Colonel Dininny continued in active service at the 
 front until a disease of his eyes compelled him to resign his commission. 
 
 He returned to his home and again took up the practice of law, in 
 which he was engaged for many years. He was an earnest, faithful, 
 pains-taking lawyer ; had business relations with many of the leading 
 lawyers of the State and was esteemed by them as an able, conscientious 
 and careful counsellor. 
 
 Mr. Dininny always took a deep interest in the cause of education 
 and in 1867, largely through his efforts and influence, a Union Free 
 School, with Academic department, was established in Addison. He 
 was elected at the first meeting of the district as a member of the Board 
 of Education, and at the first meeting of the board was elected its pres- 
 ident. He was annually elected a member of said board by the district 
 and served as president for twenty-four years and until he resigned the 
 office of member of the board in April, 1891. During the time he was 
 president the school steadily advanced until it took rank among the 
 leading institutions of learning in this State.

 principally to farming. He rose to prominence in the old militia da3*s, 
 attaining the rank of colonel, which title clung to him through life. His 
 name and energj- were identified with the growth and progress of the 
 town for more than fifty years. His first wife died in 1837. In 1844

 the sash and blind factory, and in this firm-name they carried on the 
 business about four years when the mill was burned, involving a loss of 
 nearly $15,000. McKay & Gillett then entered into a co-partnership, 
 built up the mill and ran it about seven years, doing such an immense

 Angels at Niagara, and he was ordained at Niagara Falls May 22,1875. 
 His first ministrations in the office of priest was as the assistant of Rev. 
 William McNab in Medina, Orleans county. Afterward he served at 
 Angola, Erie count}-, and at Batavia, where he remained until April, 
 1879, when he took charge of the church at Cuba, Allegany county.

 To accept the larger field offered in the pastorate of St. Catherine's 
 church, Addison, he left to the parish over which he had presided for 
 ten years a handsome property and one of the finest church structures 
 in Allegany county. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 Presbyterian. — The First Presbyterian church of Addison was organ- 
 ized in the month of September, 1832, by a committee of the Presbytery 
 of Bath, consisting of Rev. A. Donaldson and Rev. E. D. Wills. The 
 present handsome edifice of this society was dedicated in April, 1882, 
 and is valued at $12,000. The number of members is one hundred and 
 sixty. The present pastor is Rev. David Mackey. 
 
 Protestant Episcopal. — The Church of the Redeemer was organized 
 April 18, 1854, and the first wardens were L. Griswold and Z. L.Webb ; 
 vestrymen, J. S. McKay, David Darrin, H. J. Fonda, W. R. Smith, T. 
 Paxton, Stephen Lewis and H. W. Rathbone. The first rector was 
 Robert N. Parke. Their church edifice, located on Park Place, corner 
 of Wall street, was consecrated April 5, i860. The church numbers 
 about fifty families. The Rev. Francis Gilliat is the present rector. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal. — The first Methodist services in Addison were 
 held in a school-house below the academy, and the society was organ- 
 ized first on September, 3, 1835. In 1846 their first church edifice was 
 built, a framed structure which was destroyed by fire. Their present 
 church was dedicated April 21, 1876. It is a substantial brick struct- 
 ure, tasteful in its design, and convenient for general church work. Its 
 cost was Si4,ooo. They have a membership of one hundred and sixty- 
 one. 
 
 Roman Catholic. — St. Catherine's church was organized or built in 
 1854 by Rev. Father Cunningham, the pastor of St. Mary's, of Corning, 
 who had charge of it and several other missions in Steuben and Che- 
 mung counties. The first resident pastor was Rev. Father Bradley, 
 who assumed pastoral control in 1866. A new brick church was 
 finished in 1887 at a cost of $18,000. It is a fine and commodious 
 structure, pleasantly located on Curtis Square, a little east of the site of 
 the old church. The present pastor is Rev. Father Thomas J. Car- 
 raher, and the membership about one hundred and fifty families. 
 
 Baptist Church. — The first Baptist church of Addison was organized 
 May 6, 1869, under the missionary labors of Rev. C. W. Brooks. Rev. 
 S. D. Merrick was the first settled pastor, who came in October 1869, 
 and the present house of worship, known as the Baptist Chapel was built 
 in 187 1, and during Mr. Merrick's pastorate. The property of this 
 society is valued at about $7,500. 
 
 Addison Y. M. C. A. rooms are located in a commodious brick build- 
 ing erected through the generosity of J. D. Gillet, one of Addison's

 oldest and most respected citizens, who also donated the site for the 
 building. It was erected in 1889. It contains bath-rooms, gymnasium 
 and a free reading room which is open from 9 A. M. to 10 P. M. Ser- 
 vices on Sunda}' at 3 P, M., and workers' training class at 8:30 on 
 Thursday evenings. 
 
 Schools. 
 
 In December, 1847, an association of twelve prominent men of Ad- 
 dison and vicinity purchased four acres of land north of the village as 
 a site for an acadenry, and th£ next summer erected an academy 
 building at an expense of $3,600. A flourishing school was organized 
 and continued until the building was distroyed by fire in October 1856. 
 Subsequently a number of citizens established a private academic school. 
 This was well supported and continued until the organization of the 
 Union Free Academy in connection with the public school system of 
 the village. Plans for a new building submitted by Walker & Xoland 
 of Rochester were acepted bj' the board of education, and a large, well 
 lighted and well ventilated structure was completed, at a cost of S20,- 
 000, and first occupied for the spring term of 1888. 
 
 The Addison Grammar School, after plans by C. Walker of Rochester, 
 was built by Drehmer & Wing, and E. Y. Butler of Homellsville. who 
 also were the builders of the Union Free Academy. It is a model 
 structure, located on the south side, on the site of the old burying - 
 ground on Tuscarora street. It was finished and occupied for thespring 
 term of 1889. The cost of the building was about S9.000. 
 
 Banks. 
 Addison Bank. — This bank was originally a chartered institution, es- 
 tablished by William R. Smith and Charles H. Henderson in 1S56. W. 
 R. Smith, president and C. H. Henderson cashier. About 1S61 they 
 surrendered their charter and Mr. Henderson succeeded to the business. 
 The present proprietors, Messrs. Lattimer and Win ton, purchased his 
 interest and building on the north side of the river in 1867. In 1S73 
 they erected their present fine fire-proof building at a cost of $10,000. 
 It is one of the most completely furnished and commodious bank build- 
 ings in this part of the state, and the business of the firm is on a very 
 properous footing. 
 
 The Baldwin Bank was established in January, 1874, by James Bald- 
 win and Charles D. Williams, and continued under those proprietors 
 until April, 18S0, when Mr. Williams was succeeded by Henry Bald- 
 win and Mrs. Sarah Weatherby. Their building, which is located on 
 Tuscarora street, was erected especially for a bank, and is provided with 
 a very safe and substantial fire-proof vault. This bank is considered 
 among the firm and prosperous monetary institutions of this part of the 
 state. 
 
TOWN OF ADDISON. 1 09 
 
 Manufacturing Industries . 
 A. G. Crane & Co.'s Blind Factory was established in connection with 
 other works for the manufacture of sash and doors also, in 1845, and 
 were the first works of the kind in this part of the state. They were 
 built by Ames & Bliss, who, in 1865, were succeeded b} r C. C. Crane, 
 and in 1874 Mr. Crane was succeeded by the present firm. The shops 
 for manufacturing doors and sash have been destroyed by fire. They 
 employ twelve men, and turn out about 1,800 pairs of blinds per year. 
 Addison Foundry and Machine Shop. — In 1846, E. J. Horn and Ste- 
 phen Lewis, under the firm name of Lewis & Horn, established the 
 foundry business for the purpose of manufacturing mill-machiner}-, 
 steam engines and general castings. Their first shop was burned in the 
 fall of 1846, and they immediately rebuilt. In 1856 Mr. Lewis retired 
 from the firm, and it was afterward conducted by Mr. Horn and his 
 sons. In May, 1885, E. S. Chatfield became the proprietor, and in ad- 
 dition to the products of the shop under the old firm, manufactures 
 an automatic patent- brake for platform and lumber wagons, also patent 
 expansible chain-wheels for elevators, tan drags, patent oar-locks and 
 foot-rests for rowing boats. He employs about twelve men. 
 
 Addison Merchant and Custom Mills. — These mills were built by Da- 
 vid Curtis of Painted Post, and James McKay of Campbell, about 1853. 
 In October, 1865, Thomas Paxton purchased an interest in the mill and 
 has since been associated with Mr. Curtis under the firm name of Cur- 
 tis & Paxton. In 1884 the old machinery was taken out and replaced 
 by new and improved machinery, including roller mills, at an expense 
 of Si 1,000. In 1S82 the mill was enlarged by an addition on the south 
 end, and an elevator was added. These latter improvements cost the 
 firm about $4,000. These mills are furnished with three runs of stone 
 for grinding corn, feed and buckwheat, and their capacity for the man- 
 ufacture of flour is about one hundred barrels in twenty-four hours. 
 
 G. IV. Farnham's Bool and Shoe Factory was established in 1872 by 
 Gokey & Farnham, just north of Tuscarora street bridge. The factory 
 at this site was destroyed by fire, and the present works built by Mr. 
 Farnham in the winter of '77-'7S, and occupied the following spring. 
 They are run by steam power, and employ about fifty men, with a ca- 
 pacity of twenty cases a day; mostly heavy work. 
 
 C. D. Hill & Co.'s Sash, Blind and Door Factory. — The first factory 
 for the manufacture of sash, blinds and doors on the site of the above 
 firm's establishment was built by O. W. Sage in 1855. It subsequent- 
 ly passed into the hands of the following firms, viz.: McKay & Bliss, 
 McKay & Gillette, McKay & Co., McKay & Hill and CD. Hill & 
 Co., and is the oldest but one of similar works in the state. The fac- 
 tory has been twice destroyed by fire. A new engine of two hundred 
 
IIO TOWN OF ADDISON. 
 
 horse-power has been recenth- added, and the capacity is 60,000 doors 
 per year, the same number of sashes and 30,000 pairs of blinds. This 
 firm also deals in planed and matched lumber, and in mouldings and 
 brackets. 
 
 S. Harrison cr Sons' Plow Handle Factory commenced operation in 
 1868 at the lower end of the village near the cemetery. They manufac- 
 ture about 1,000 handles a day, beside other wood-work for agricultural 
 implements. 
 
 Wheaton & Brewster Brothers JSaw and Planing-Mill is located on 
 Steuben street. It is run by steam, employs about ten men, and has a 
 capacity for sawing 15,000 feet a day. 
 
 Stanchion Factory. — F. G. Parsons & Company, manufacturers of 
 Smith's self-adjusting swing cattle stanchion. 
 
 Though this invention dates from the present decade and the present 
 firm has been in operation six years, yet it is now known throughout 
 Canada and the United States. It is, as its name implies, a swinging 
 stanchion. They are made very durable, of strong wood timber that 
 has been well seasoned and oiled. They turn on pivots made of two- 
 inch hardwood pins at the top and bottom. The method of opening 
 and closing is very simple, and a bo}- will at once become acquainted 
 with the necessan r manipulation. By the use of this stanchion cattle 
 are kept cleaner and in a more natural position. They can lie down 
 resting the head on the shoulder, and, though securely fastened, enjoy 
 almost natural freedom of motion. The invention has won the first 
 prize at several New York state fairs and is warmly endorsed by lead- 
 ing dairymen and agricultural editors all over the country. A new 
 patent has recently been granted this firm, with three additional im- 
 provements. 
 
 The factory is located on Steuben street. It employs several men 
 and is run by steam power. 
 
 The Improved Home Bee Hive Manufactory was established here in 
 January 1889, by L.S. Cook, and is located on Cleveland street. These 
 hives are constructed with a double wall, having a dead-air space sur- 
 rounding the entire chamber. Each hive is furnished with moveable 
 frames holding forty-eight one-pound sections, which are so arranged 
 as to cover the back and top of hive. There are several other improve- 
 ments which are covered by letters patent. Mr. Cook also manufactures 
 apiarists' supplies. 
 
 The Goodhue Tannery is located on the Goodhue creek near its mouth, 
 about one mile east of Addison village. It is stated that the first tan- 
 ner}' here was built by Tiffany & Prindle. Miles & Paxton afterward ran 
 it for some years . The present proprietor is George W . Stratton , who has 
 improved and enlarged the works considerably. Twelve men are em-

 ployed here, and the capacity is 20,000 sides per year. Mr. Stratton 
 
 came in possession in 1S78. 
 
 Bridgeman' s saw and feed mill was built by Otis Bridgeman in 1865. 
 
 The first mill on this site was built many years ago, but by whom we 
 
 were unable to learn. The second was built \>y Vincent Hathaway. 
 
 The present mill is under the management of Judson Bridgman, is run 
 
 by water power and has a capacity of 200,000 feet. There is also a 
 
 shingle and planing-mill in connection with it. 
 
 Phillips Mills on road 4 was first built by Hamilton & Dodge, and 
 
 afterward owned by Lewis Hathaway. Of the latter it was purchased 
 
 by the present owner, Charles Phillips, about 1S56. It is run by water 
 
 and steam power. 
 
 Other Industries. — The Addison Greenhouse is located on Steuben 
 
 street where is constantly kept on hand a large variety of choice 
 flowering plants, and also vegetable plants with which the local market 
 and surrounding towns are supplied. This greenhouse was built by Mr. 
 Goodby in 1875, was afterward owned by Mr. W. Griffith, and is now 
 under the management of Mrs. A. Walker. It has recently been im- 
 proved and a new. heating apparatus added. Floral pieces for funerals 
 are made here on short notice, also cut flowers and designs furnished 
 for weddings and other occasions. 
 
 AVOCA TOWNSHIP* is situated northwest of the center of the 
 county, and lies in the rich valley of the Conhocton river and upon 
 the adjoining uplands. The valley is about a mile in width, and of a 
 rich alluvial deposit. The course of the Conhocton through the town 
 is from northwest to southeast. Ten -mile and Twelve-mile creeks enter 
 it as tributaries from the north and Neils creek from the west. The 
 hills rise in some places abruptly, but generally by a gradual ascent to 
 a height of four hundred feet above the river. The soil upon the hills 
 is chiefly gravel and clay, with a mixture of loam, making good, pro- 
 ductive farming land, which is largely cleared and in a good state of cul- 
 tivation. For its size it is one of the most productive and flourishing 
 towns in the county. The township was formed from the towns of 
 Bath, Cohocton, Howard and Wheeler, April 12, 1843. Up to that 
 time the village of Avoca was included in the town of Bath. The pop- 
 ulation of the town of Avoca, according to the census of 1890, was 
 2,241. 
 
 The first settlement in the town was made by William Buchanan and 
 his son Michael on the Levi Kysor farm about 1794, Mr. Buchanan 
 
 *For many facts relative to the early history of this town we are indebted to a 
 series of articles contributed to a local paper by the late A. T. Parkhill, of Avoca.

 having been sent there by Colonel Williamson to keep a house of enter- 
 tainment in the interest of the settlement of that section. Soon after his 
 arrival he erected a log house where he entertained the traveler and 
 those seeking a home in the new country. There were no inns or tav- 
 erns in all this section, and the only highway was the Williamson road 
 through the Conhocton valley to the Genesee river. He was sent here 
 as the agent of the land-office, and his large-hearted hospitality was 
 proverbial among the early settlers. 
 
 The year following his arrival he planted an orchard, a portion of 
 which remains. This place was known at that time as Buchanan's, or 
 the Eight-Mile Tree. The Eight-Mile Tree— so marked by the Phelps 
 and Gorham surveyors — stood a little north of the Levi Kysor house, 
 about a quarter of a mile south of the village of Avoca. When the 
 little hamlet began to assume shape as a village, it received a new name 
 which the inhabitants take pride in handing down to posterity. The 
 name of * Avoca was given by a young lady while on her death -bed. 
 Having heard that the little village was about to receive a new name, 
 she sent a written request to the people to allow her to name the then 
 pleasant forest village. 
 
 The first settlers after William and Michael Buchanan were James 
 and Hugh McWhorter and James and George Moore, who came in 
 about two years after the Buchanans. The McWhorter and one of the 
 Moores became permanent settlers. James McWhorter settled on the 
 I. J.Haskin farm where he erected a log cabin and commenced a clear- 
 ing, but did not remain long, as Gershom Towner purchased the Has- 
 kin farm prior to 1800. Finley McClure, who came about the same 
 time as Gershom Towner, purchased the farm known as the Shaver 
 farm, and cut the road through on the west side of the river from Ka- 
 nona to his clearing. 
 
 Soon after the arrival of Gershom Towner, he erected on the Haskin 
 farm a hotel or inn. He was noted for his hospitality. Although his 
 hostelry was only a double log house, he supplied liberally the neces- 
 saries of life, and no traveler was turned away hungry. Another hotel 
 was erected in the town by Joel Collier in 1S08, at or near Wallace. It 
 was primitive in its construction, being built of logs, the only timber 
 then manufactured in the town . 
 
 Between the years 1801 andi8i5 quite a number of families and young 
 men settled here, and the following are the names of those settlers as 
 far as can be ascertained: Asa Phillips, Abram Towner, James Bab- 
 cock, Richard Van Buskirk, Henry Smith, James Davis, John Van Bus - 
 kirk, William Moody, Daniel McKenzie, Jonathan Tilton, John Donahe, 
 
 *From Thomas Moore's "Meeting of the Waters."

 Eleazer Tucker, Allen Smith, Samuel Burnham and Oliver Rice. These 
 were most of them , formerly settlers in Bath, and set off to Avoca. 
 Among those settlers taken from Howard who settled between 1801 and 
 1815, were Isaac Baldwin, William Allen, Charles Robords, Timothy 
 Parkhill, William GofFand Henry Kenned}'. There were others who 
 might be called earlj r settlers who came into the town between 18 16 and 
 1824, viz: John B. Calkins, Gershom Salmon, Joseph Matthewson, 
 James Silsbee, John Putnam, Hugh Briggs, VanHousen Hopkins and 
 a number of others unknown to the writer. 
 
 Abram Towner settled on a farm near the new mill in 1808, and 
 spent the remainder of his life there. John Donahe settled on the creek 
 leading to Howard, on what is known as the Donahe farm. Richard 
 and John Van Buskirk settled on what is known as the Sam Haskin 
 and Allen farm. Eleazer Tucker settled on what is known as the 
 Tucker farm about a mile above Wallace. Henry Smith, father of Os- 
 car S. Smith, settled in this town in 18 14, on a farm about one mile 
 south of Avoca village. William Moody took up and settled on lands 
 now occupied by the village of Avoca. 
 
 While the valley was being settled by earnest and worthy citizens, 
 the uplands were receiving their sterling inhabitants. In January, 181 1 , 
 Israel Baldwin settled on a farm south of and which bordered on the 
 beautiful inland lake, known as Smith's pond, which takes its name 
 from a noble Scott who settled on the north side of it in 18 10. Mr. 
 Baldwin was the first to cut his way from the creek road leading to 
 Howard to his possession. In March, 18 10, William Allen settled on 
 the farm owned by John, Eyman and Alexander Shults. Charles 
 Robords settled on what is known as Robord's Hill in 18 14. He had 
 a family of fourteen children, and the eldest was not old enough to be 
 of much assistance to his father, when the family located here. After 
 their arrival, the principal food of the family consisted of bear and deer 
 meat with a small allowance of corn. Their clothing was of the pelts 
 of the bear and deer, tanned by the Indian method, generally with the 
 hair on. 
 
 Indian Reminiscences. — When the earliest settlers came into what is now 
 Avoca, there were about fifty Indian huts on the Haskin farm where 
 man} r a relic of their ingenuity and workmanship has been found, such 
 as arrow heads of flint, stone knives, parts of stone cooking utensils, etc. 
 In fact, relics have been found quite generally through the township, 
 which proves that this section was a favorite hunting-ground of the 
 Indian . At the time of the settlement of Abram Towner and for a num- 
 ber of years after, there were from fifty to a hundred Indian lodges on 
 the flat just below his house, and there have been found, on or near 
 
114 TOWN OF AVOCA. 
 
 that place, parts of a stone kettle, the stone being of a different charac- 
 ter from any found in this country* 
 
 The Indians became a great pest to the settlers — too lazy to work , 
 they must live, and hence were terrible beggars. The}- would often 
 come out of the forest to where the settlers were chopping and clearing 
 their lands, and stand for hours and look on. If asked to help they 
 would reply: " Ugh ! me like to see white man work — me no work — 
 squaw- work." The greatest annoyance was from their habit of beg- 
 ging, and if not granted what they asked they would manifest anger and 
 a revengeful spirit. Many has beee the instance when the Indian has 
 watched his opportunity, and when the white settler was away from his 
 cabin, would go with five or six stalwart companions and demand bread, 
 meat and corn meal, and if the woman did not hasten to comply they 
 would unsheath their knives and tomahawks, and go through the mo- 
 tions of cleaving the head and taking the scalp. On one occasion they 
 thus entered the house of Abram Towner during Mr. Towner's absence, 
 and made their usual demand for bread. Mrs. Towner, having none to 
 spare, so told them. This displeased them. They drew their knives 
 and said: ' ' Me scalp you — me scalp you, ' ' and at the same time brand- 
 ished their tomahawks. They had not counted on any resistance, but 
 they did not know with whom they were dealing. When she saw they 
 were angry and meant to intimidate her, her courage rose with the occa- 
 sion and she told them to leave. They not obeying, she seized a heavy 
 shovel and drove them out of the house with man}- a bruised place. 
 Ever after that occurrence, the Indians treated her with much consider- 
 ation, saying "pale face squaw brave — great brave — she great fight." 
 There were instances 'when the Indians would call on Mrs. Towner and 
 borrow her large kettle, and after an absence of two or three days would 
 return with from one-half to a bushel of fine white salt, which, after 
 taking what they wanted for their own use, they would exchange the 
 balance for food with the whites, and give some for the use of the ket- 
 tle. This shows that there is, not far away, salt of the best quality. i 
 
 The settlers became tired of the presence of the Indians and resolved 
 to get rid of them. They resorted to many devices to accomplish 
 this and as often failed, until Michael Buchanan hit upon a plan. 
 He, well knowing the character of the Indian as to his habits of indus- 
 try, took his axe and went into different parts of the forest where he 
 clipped off boughs and pieces of wood and charged the same with 
 powder. The Indians finding it, attributed this good fortune to the 
 
 *John V. Cooper, son of Dr. Cooper of Corning, has among other Indian relics, 
 fragments of a kettle picked up at Painted Post. These fragments are soapstone, 
 and the vessel when whole must have measured a foot and a half in diameter. 
 
 +Donbtlcss this salt was made at the salt spring in Greenwood.

 Great Spirit, saying: "Great Spirit love poor Indian,'' and gathering 
 up the wood, carried it to their wigwams. They put it about their ket- 
 tles and the wood went shooting in all directions, and the kettles and 
 contents were scattered. They gathered the wood several times, and 
 each time the result was the same, which events they considered an evi- 
 dence that the Great Spirit was angry with them for remaining and 
 commingling with the white settlers. Their emigration took place, as 
 the writer is informed, in 18 18, since which time but few lodges were 
 ever seen in this part of the country. 
 
 Early Items. — To provide food for his family the early settler would 
 take from one to two bushels of corn on his shoulder and go to Naples, 
 a distance of twenty-two miles. After a few years the journey to mill 
 was shortened by a mill being built at Cold Springs, between Bath and 
 Hammondsport, a point where all the first settlers had to resort with 
 their grist for a number of years. In 1S09, Henry Kennedy erected a 
 saw-mill at a place afterward known as Goff's Mills^ adjacent to the 
 Howard and Avoca town line. It is said that the year following James 
 Vaughn built a grist-mill at that point. The writer has made thorough 
 investigation as to its truth, but is unable to affirm the statement, the 
 old settlers informing him that William Goff built the first grist-mill 
 soon after he settled in Howard, which was in 1812. Previous to that 
 the Taylor mill in Wheeler was the nearest point where the}- could have 
 grinding done. Eleazer Tucker built the first saw-mill on the river in 
 1S25, near Wallace. Jonathan Tilton built the first grist-mill on the 
 Conhocton in this town about one mile south of the present village of 
 Avoca. The Goff mill was built some time before the Tilton or Silsbee 
 mill. Before there were any grist-mills in this section the people often 
 resorted to the more primitive method of using the mortar and pestle, 
 made of wood and stone. 
 
 There were only two teams of horses owned in the town previous to 
 1S12. They were owned by Michael Buchanan and James McWhorter. 
 All the other teams were oxen, and there were but few of them. The 
 ladies and gentlemen of those days thought it no hardship to travel six 
 or seven miles to make an evening call, and return. And the vehicle 
 of those days, or most of them, were primitive indeed, constructed by 
 sawing the wheels from a log two or three feet in diameter, with a little 
 staddle to serve as axle-trees. 
 
 After the first few years the farmers raised something more than was 
 necessary to support their families, and their product, whatever it was, 
 found a ready market in Bath. When the time came to market their 
 produce the ox teams were hitched to the sled and a number of teams 
 would start for Bath. After disposing of the loads the teams were 
 headed for home and allowed to proceed alone. When, in the judg- 
 
Il6 TOWN OF AVOCA. 
 
 ment of the teamsters, the oxen were half \va3- home, the drivers would 
 start on foot and overtake them. 
 
 The first store in Avoca was kept by two brothers, George and Alon- 
 zo Simmons, on the corner of the A. L. Zeiley lot. In those days a 
 whole stock of goods was brought here on two pack horses, and when 
 it was announced that new goods had arrived, it was understood that a 
 pack mule of goods had come, and only once a year did the merchant 
 add to his stock, and then only such things as were actually necessary 
 for the sustenance of the people. 
 
 Of the legal profession, Avoca enjoyed the presence of only one, and 
 he possessed in a large degree the faculty of being satisfied with little, 
 which was a happ5 r trait, there being but little use for such a person in 
 a new country. Mr. Loup was very fond of angling, and when there 
 were no clients to bite the legal bait, he would resort to the side of 
 some favorite creek and cast the line for the less wary — but to him a 
 subject as much desired, for, like the profession generally he was a great 
 lover of ease. 
 
 The first child born in the town was William McWhorter; John Bu- 
 chanan and Betsey McWhorter were the next children born. They now 
 lie buried in the old village cemetery by the side of most of the early 
 settlers. The first framed dwelling in Avoca was erected by James Mc- 
 Whorter on the Buchanan farm, and but about three rods from where once 
 stood the eight-mile-tree. 
 
 Michael Buchanan's death was the first in the town, Hugh McWhor- 
 ter 's was the second, he having died March 6, 181 2. Asahel Rice, who 
 was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun on March 3, 1840, was 
 the first buried in the new cemetery. 
 
 The religious sentiment of the early times was of the Christian or 
 Campbellite denomination, whose adherents held their meetings in a 
 barn on the Buchanan farm, and continued to hold religious services 
 there and in the log school house until 1827, when the first M.E. church 
 was organized at East Hill. Elder Buzzell and Elisha Brownson were 
 the first ministers of the gospel. The Campbellite doctrine continued 
 for some time to be the predominant faith, but it gradually died out 
 here. 
 
 While privation and suffering was their lot, the first settlers of Avoca 
 did not forget that there was something to be looked to more than to 
 supply their physical wants. As early as 1795 or '97, they employed 
 one Anna Parker to teach school by going around from house to house 
 through the sparsely settled country, imparting knowledge to the young 
 as well as she could under the existing circumstances. Her qualifica- 
 tions, except in having good physical powers, and sterling worth as to 
 character, would, at this day, be deemed doubtful for that vocation, 
 
TOWN OF AVOCA. 117 
 
 for in after life she would often tell of her pioneer teaching, and say 
 that she could not write, and those who could were regarded as highly 
 educated. She followed the vocation of teacher for a number of years. 
 Susan Collier was the second teacher, and taught school in part of her 
 father's log house and the dwellings of the inhabitants. Anna Parker 
 and Susan Collier were the only teachers who taught in Avoca until a 
 school -house was built in 1818. This was built of logs and stood on a 
 plot of ground near where the railroad bridge now stands. Mary 
 McKenzie was the first teacher after the erection of the school-house — 
 she taught the summer schools, while one George Cameron was hired 
 to teach the winter terms at eight dollars a month, a price in those days 
 considered high. 
 
 Avoca like other towns of the county, has made her sacrifices upon 
 the altar of her county, having sent out her brave sons to do battle for 
 the maintenance of our political and national life ; and should it be 
 asked how well did she maintain it, we can only answer by pointing to 
 the little village cemetery, where about thirty of her brave sons, who 
 mostlj' fell on the field of blood lie sleeping, and shall thus rest until the 
 grave shall give up its hallowed dust. And not onl}' in the war of 1861 
 did the sons of Avoca go forth to maintain the integrity of the nation. 
 In 181 2 the lion of the east shook its head, and a voice from Canada 
 awoke the quiet settlers to the supposed necessity of arming to protect 
 themselves against the Canadians and the savage hordes that might be 
 sent against them . Happily the cause of alarm was soon abated, and 
 the settlers relapsed into their former security, but not until General 
 McClure had raised a fine regiment of woodsmen to go to the frontier, 
 among whom were quite a number from this town. A portion of 
 McClure's regiment went up through the Conhocton valley on their march 
 to the frontier. Arriving at Avoca, the soldiers discovered the Buchanan 
 orchard which was then bearing and the trees fairly loaded with fine 
 fruit. The temptation was too great for the security of the fruit, or at 
 least for the benefit of Mr. Buchanan, for in those days apples were a 
 great rarity, this orchard being the only bearing one in this section. 
 After the soldiers took up their line of march there was a scarcity of 
 apples in the Avoca market . But then , as in 1 86 1 , nothing was too good 
 for the soldier. 
 
 BIOGRAPHICAL. 
 
 William Buchanan, the pioneer settler, when a lad of seven or eight 
 3'ears of age,' lived with his parents in the beautiful Wyoming valley, 
 and while thus living the inhabitants of that lovely valley suffered all 
 the horrors of Indian warfare. Among the survivors was the young 
 lad, William Buchanan, who was taken prisoner. His captors traveled 
 westward until they arrived in the extreme western part of Pennsylva-

 nia, or in Ohio. He was adopted b}* the chief of the tribe, and was 
 treated kindly by his foster-father. The mother, however, disliking the 
 fondness of the chief for the little pale-face, contrived to send him away 
 with provisions enough to last him on the journey, to the white settle- 
 ments on the Susquehanna, where in due time he arrived safely. He- 
 had been with the Indians seven years and had learned to speak their 
 language much better than his mother-tongue. 
 
 At about the age of twenty he was engaged to go on board a ship . 
 after which he went to England, Wales, and several other countries, 
 and finally came back to the United States. After leaving a sea-faring 
 life he found his way into one of the eastern counties of this state. 
 whence he moved with his family to Avoca, and there spent his remain- 
 ing days. 
 
 Michael Buchanan, son of the above, married Anna Parker, the pion- 
 eer school teacher, about the year 1S00, the marriage having been sol- 
 emnized by Gen. George McClure. He lived with his wife only seven 
 years, when he died. In iSn his widow married James McWhorter. 
 but she continued to live on the Buchanan farm, it having been willed 
 to her by her first husband. 
 
 Asa Phillips came on foot from the state of Vermont in 1802, and 
 settled in the now town of Avoca, about three-quarters of a mile south 
 of Wallace station. It is said that he, in company with John B. Cal- 
 kins, built the first saw-mill in the town, Mr. Phillips building the race 
 alone. He also cleared his farm. He was an officer in the war of 1 S 1 2 . 
 In 1809 he married Laura Crawford, whose father came from Saratoga, 
 and settled at Bloods Corners at an early date. In 1S42 Mr. Phillips 
 moved to Hornellsville, now Fremont, and settled on the farm now- 
 owned by his son, Asa. He died December 5, 1844. 
 
 James Moore was born in Ireland, and after the war of the revolution, 
 settled on the John Brush farm in this town, which he cleared. He. 
 died at the age of one hundred and three years, and is buried in the old 
 cemetery at Bath. 
 
 Oscar S. Smith was born in the town of Avoca — then included in 
 Bath — March 31, 18 16. His paternal grandfather, Joseph Smith, was 
 a native of Duchess county, X. Y., and settled with his family in Brad- 
 ford county, Pa., as one of the pioneers of that county. His father. 
 Henry Smith, was married to Anna, daughter of Maj. William Spauld- 
 ing, and grand-daughter of General Spaulding of revolutionary fame, in. 
 1814, and immediately thereafter came to the then town of 'Bath; pur- 
 chased a tract of land, built a saw-mill, and began clearing his land 
 and manufacturing lumber. He spent the remainder of his life on this 
 farm, quietly following agricultural pursuits; was a man of correct habits 
 strict integrity of purpose, unobtrusive in all his ways. He died about: 
 
TOWN OF AVOCA. 1 19 
 
 the close of the rebellion at the age of eighty years. His wife died 
 about 1850, age fifty-seven years. Oscar S. Smith received his educa- 
 tion in the common schools, and earl}'- formed a taste for reading and 
 study which he has cultivated during his life. His minority was spent 
 at home, engaged with his father in farm and lumber business. At the 
 age of twenty he began business for himself, and unassisted pecuniarily, 
 purchased one hundred acres of timbered land, upon which he labored 
 for eleven years, preparing the land for farming. In 1850 he settled in 
 the village of Avoca, and opened a general store, which, although of 
 small beginning, gradually increased as the growing interests of the 
 vicinity demanded, and continues at the present time. During the 
 years he has been in business as a merchant in Avoca he has had asso- 
 ciated with him at different times, other men, with firm names of Smith 
 & Peek, Smith & Barney, and Smith, Hoadley & Co., the latter firm is 
 now in business and conducts one of the finest stores in the county. 
 Mr. Smith is a man of plain, unassuming ways, possessed of that native 
 talent and sound sense, sharpened by contact with business through a 
 series of years, not uncommon with men whose early life was regulated 
 somewhat by the necessit}- of the times, and the privations which foster 
 self-reliance. Promptness, integrity, and justice in his business are his 
 known characteristics. 
 
 Henry H. Bouton was born in Windham, Conn., April 4, 1815, the

 in 1885 incorporated under the above name and style. Their works 
 are located between Railroad and Grant streets, occupying a space of 
 about five acres. They employ from sixty to seventy -five men, and 
 their goods are shipped to all parts of the union. There are several 
 patents on their own inventions, which they control exclusively. The 
 capital now invested in the business is $90,000, and the company ex- 
 pect to double their capacity at an early day.

 Wallace (P. O.) is located a little north of the center of the town of 
 Avoca on the Conhocton river, and is a station on the Delaware, Lack- 
 awanna and Western and the Rochester branch of the Erie railroads. 
 It contains two churches (M. E. and Union), a school, one hotel, 
 one general store, one drug and grocery store, meat-market, hardware 
 store, wagon shop, three blacksmith shops, brick and tile works, several 
 produce ware-houses and about forty dwellings. Some of the bnsiness 
 blocks are built of brick. 
 
 BATH* is the central town of Steuben county. It is situated chiefly 
 in Townships 3, 4 and 5 of Ranges 2, 3 and 4, and is bounded on 
 the north by the towns of Avoca, Wheeler and Urbana; on the 
 east by Bradford; on the south by Campbell, Thurston and Cameron, 
 and on the west by Avoca and Howard. It contains, according to the 
 assessor's estimate, 57, 100 acres of land. The assessed value of the 
 real and personal estate in 1S90 was $3,563,678, and the total tax 331, 
 055. The total population by the last census (1890), was 7.359, of 
 which one hundred and thirty-eight were colored. 
 
 The Conhocton river — the Ga-ha-to of the Senecas, meaning "log in 
 the water " — passes through the town from the northwest to the south- 
 east. Five Mile creek, Smith's Run and Mud creek — the latter the out- 
 let of Mud lake — are affluents from the north; and several small streams 
 pour down from the hills southwest, among which are Campbell and 
 Stockton creeks. The Conhocton has eroded a deep valley some four 
 hundred feet below the great plateau, which at Mt. Washington is 1,579 
 feet above tide water. This valley is intersected at Bath village by a 
 broader one, extending from Lake Keuka. 
 
 The Delaware, Lackawana and Western, and the Rochester division 
 of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroads run side by side 
 through the Conhocton valley. The Bath and Hammondsport Rail- 
 road connects with them at Bath village, and the Kanona and Pratts- 
 burgh Railroad, at Kanona. The distance by rail to New York is 
 three hundred miles ; to Albany, two hundred and thirty-eight ; to 
 Buffalo, one hundred, and to Rochester seventy -five. 
 
 The surface of the country is broken and hilly. The rocks belong 
 to the Chemung group. There is a stratum of very tough argillo-cal- 
 careous rock, three feet thick, the mass filled with fragments of crinoidal 
 columns, presenting, when polished, surfaces like the finest birds-eye

 maple. This crops out at Miller's quarry, about a mile north of Bath 
 village, and also upon the farm of Charles Longwell, near the Soldiers' 
 Home. At Jenk's quarry, a mile east, is found a rare fossil of the Che- 
 mung group, named by Professor Hall, state geologist, Dictyophyton 
 Tuberosum. The soil of the valleys is gravelly, mixed with sand and 
 clav, and favorable to the production of wheat, corn and barley. The 
 uplands are clayey, and better adapted for the production of oats, buck- 
 wheat and grasses. 
 
 The town was once heavily timbered with pine, hemlock, oak, beech, 
 maple, birch and hickory. The white pine of the Mud creek valley was 
 famous for its size and quality. Xow the forests are nearly all cut away 
 except from the steep hill-sides. 
 
 The town has two incorporated villages, Bath and Savona: four 
 post-offices — Bath, Kanona. Savona and Sonora: a national bank and 
 two banking offices, a public library, four weekly newspapers, fifteen 
 church organizations and churches, and twenty -five school districts. 
 The village of Bath was first incorporated by a legislative act, April 12. 
 1 Si 6, but no organization was perfected. By a special act passed May 
 6, 1 S36, the village was duly organized. The population in 1SS9 was 
 3,360, and the assessed valuation in 18S9, Si. 925, 565. Savona was 
 incorporated under the general act, April 30, 18S3. The public build- 
 ings located in the town are the county court-house, jail, clerk's office, 
 surrogate's office, agricultural societ\- buildings, Pultene}- land office, 
 the county poor-house, the Xew York State Soldiers' and Sailors 
 Home, and the Davenport Female Orphan Asylum. 
 
 Historical. — Robert Morris, the great banker of Philadelphia superin- 
 tendent of the public finances during the revolutionary war, and a gen- 
 tleman of large wealth, on November 18, 1790, purchased of Oliver 
 Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham all the lands in what is now Steuben 
 county, with the exception of those in the towns of Corning, Canisteo, 
 Lindley , Erwin and Campbell, which had previously been sold by Phelps 
 and Gorham. In the year 1791 William Pulteney, a member of par- 
 liament and a wealthy citizen of Bath. England, for himself, William 
 Hornby, ex-governor of Bombay, and Patrick Colquhoun, a distin- 
 guished advocate of Glasgow, purchased these same lands, beside oth- 
 ers. Pulteney was interested in the 'purchase nine-twelfths, Hornby 
 two-twelfths and Colquhoun one-twelfth: but as they were British sub- 
 jects and aliens, the purchase rested in contract. Soon after the pur- 
 chase, Capt. Charles Williamson, a Scotchman and a late captain in 
 the British army, then residing in Great Britain, in consideration of a 
 commission on the sales of land and receipt of moneys in lieu of all 
 expenses and charges except for law-writings, deeds and conveyances, 
 entered into an agreement with the syndicate to proceed to America as 
 
TOWN OF BATH. 127 
 
 their agent, to settle on their tract, sell the lands and remit the pro- 
 ceeds to London. 
 
 To enable the Captain more effectually to accomplish these objects, a 
 letter of attorney in due form was given him. Soon after the arrange- 
 ment Captain Williamson sailed for the United States, and landed in 
 Norfolk, Va., in December, 1791. He proceeded at once to Philadel- 
 phia, and on January 9, 1792, he made application to the supreme court 
 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, then in session in the city of 
 Philadelphia, before Jasper Yates, justice, to become a citizen of the 
 United States: and having complied with the law he was duly natural- 
 ized on the same day. On April 7, 1792, Robert Morris and Man- his 
 wife, in consideration of seventy-five thousand pounds sterling ''S333,- 
 333 -33 1 U. S. currency). conve3-ed to Charles Williamson in fee simple 
 all the lands conveyed to said Morris by Phelps and Gorham, lying be- 
 tween the pre-emption line and the Genesee river in the state of New 
 Yoik. The whole tract conveyed was stated by Williamson to be forty- 
 five miles from east to west, and eighty-four miles from north to south, 
 and covers Steuben, Yates, Ontario and Livingston counties and parts 
 of Allegany, Monroe and Wayne counties. 
 
 What is now Steuben count}' was a howling wilderness as dense and 
 dark as the Black Forest, with the exception of a few hamlets on the 
 Chemung, Tioga and. Canisteo, whose total population by the census 
 of 1790 was only one hundred and seventy-seven. There were 
 neither roads, bridges, nor houses of entertainment. It there- 
 fore became necessary for Captain Williamson, before he could 
 make sale of his lands, to explore them and open roads from the 
 inhabited parts of the country. He accordingly tells us in his 
 interesting narrative, published in 1798, that on June 3, 1792, he with a 
 small party of woodsmen and surveyors to mark the line, left the West 
 Branch of the Susquehanna at its junction with the Lycoming creek — 
 the site of the now the flourishing city of Williamsport — and entered the 
 wilderness, taking a northerly course. After a laborious exertion of 
 ten days, he came to the Cowanesque river, where he first perceived he 
 was in the county of Ontario, which comprised the whole of western 
 New York. He proceeded then north and northwest and after six more 
 da}-s of travel, pitched his tent at the junction of the Canaseraga with 
 the Genesee river. As he passed up the valley of the Conhocton, he 
 was struck with the beauty of the point where it was intersected from 
 the north by the valley extending to Lake Keuka, called by the 
 Senecas Do-na-ta-guen-dar and it being centrally situated in the south 
 part of the tract upon the Conhocton river— at the head of navigation, 
 
 *An "opening within an opening." 
 
128 TOWN OF BATH. 
 
 with abundant water-power — he determined here to locate the metrop- 
 olis and agency for the sale of his lands. The location, in outline, bear- 
 ing a striking resemblance to the beautiful valley of the Avon, which 
 winds gracefully around the base of a hill, forming a charming plateau 
 upon which the ancient city of Bath — then the seat of the Pulteney 
 family — has stood for centuries, led him to adopt the name for his em- 
 bryo forest city, as well as in compliment to the chief proprie- 
 tor of the territory, his patron. Being satisfied that a road through 
 the dense forest and over the Allegan}' range separating the affluents of 
 the West Branch and the Tioga river, which forms a junction with the 
 Conhocton at Painted Post, was entirely feasible, he at once, upon his 
 return to Northumberland, engaged the services of Benjamin Patterson, 
 the famous hunter and scout, and his brother Robert, to take charge of 
 a part}' of thirty stout axe-men and pioneers to open a highway from the 
 mouth of the Lycoming by way of the Tioga and Conhocton rivers to 
 the Genesee at its junction with the Canaseraga. "This route, as loca- 
 ted, shortened the distance from Pennsylvania at least one hundred 
 miles." Early in the autumn of 1792, the work was commenced and 
 vigorously prosecuted. Early in November, about thirty miles of it had 
 been opened sufficiently wide for wagons, and by the last of December 
 the working party had completed it to Dansville, Livingston county. 
 It was long known as Williamson's road and became the great highway 
 for emigrants from the south to western New York, and was a noble 
 monument to the Captain's enterprise and pluck. At the suggestion of 
 Robert Morris, who acted as a mentor to the Captain in his great enter- 
 prise, a colony of two hundred Germans, newly arrived at Philadelphia 
 sent over by Mr. Colquhoun to make a settlement in the new purchase, 
 were sent forward to aid the road-makers and thus cut their way to the 
 Genesee. But they were illy -qualified for the work, proving an incum- 
 brance and source of much trouble ; and they were left at Painted 
 Post until the next spring. 
 
 Capt. Williamson, in 1792, established his headquarters in Northum- 
 berland, Pa., at the confluence of the north and west branches of the 
 Susquehanna. In March, 1793, as soon as navigation was opened and 
 before the roads were fairly passable, he organized a party of woods-men, 
 surveyors and settlers to proceed at once to open up and lay the founda- 
 tions of his new town and settlement on the site previously selected by 
 him, and placed the same in charge of his faithful henchman, Charles 
 Cameron, who in the last days of March pushed out with the party in 
 two Durham boats laden with tools, provisions and necessaries from 
 Northumberland, and made his way up the North Branch to Tioga 
 Point. These boats carry from five to eight tons- and are poled up the 
 stream, and where there is a strong current or rift are cordelled or 
 
TOWN OT BATH. 1 29 
 
 " warped " up by means of long ropes by the passengers and crew. 
 From the Point, the navigation was more difficult; so Mr. Cameron left 
 there one of the boats with much of the freight in charge of a few men 
 and proceeded with the others up the Chemung and Conhocton, and on 
 April 15, made a safe landing on the banks of the Conhocton at Bath, 
 near the present location of the Delaware & Lackawanna depot. The 
 whole plain was densely covered with forest ; not a tree had been cut 
 save such as were in the line of the great highway that had been opened 
 the previous winter. That road followed the second ridge or bank of 
 the river precisely on the line of Morris street. Mr. Cameron and his 
 helpers on the line of that road, in front of Pulteney Square, proceeded to 
 cut away the timber and erect a log house for the accomodation of Captain 
 Williamson's family, and an office for the transaction of his business. 
 They also proceeded to erect a log tavern for the accommodation of 
 strangers on the lot now occupied by Isaac Adams, and also huts for the 
 laborers and surveyors. Mr. Charles Cameron, in giving his account 
 of the affair on April 22, 1848, states, among other things, " We suffer- 
 ed from hunger ar.d sickness a great deal. I am now the only survivor 
 of those merry Irish and Scotch boys who used to be so happy together. ' ' 
 He also tells he laid out the village. We know the same was plotted 
 by Thomas Rees, Jr., but precisely when, or whether under Mr. 
 Cameron's supervision is not now known. Rees 1 plot has never been 
 changed and is the only one referred to in the earliest conveyances, and 
 is now the standard authority. Under date of January 1, 1794, Mr. 
 Rees in the expense account is charged with receiving §772.98 for sur- 
 veying so that it is quite clear the work was done in 1793- 
 
 Capt. Williamson arrived by way of his new road in May, to give 
 personal attention to the work of improving his town and making the 
 country habitable. It would seem he had previously advised Mr. 
 Colquhoun who had the management of the affairs of the syndicate of 
 this name and location, for under date of June 15, 1793, he writes the 
 Captain as follows : "lam glad you are so much pleased with your 
 new town of Bath. I hope it may prove a healthy spot, for on this 
 much depends. It is certainly a position infinitely more convenient 
 than Williamsburgh, and on this account I am glad you mean to fix 
 your residence there." The Captain, out of compliment to his friends 
 and patrons had named the principal street running east and west Mor- 
 ris ; the public square Pulteney ; the broad street parallel to it, with a 
 similar square, St. Patrick; the street between them, Steuben, and that 
 connecting them, Liberty; names which they have ever since borne — 
 except St. Patrick which was foolishly changed to Washington a few 
 years since. On July 10th his wife and family arrived as appears by bill 
 paid DavidTaggart that day for their transportation from Northumberland . 
 
130 TOWN OF BATH. 
 
 A saw-mill was completed in the summer to furnish boards for floor- 
 ing and roofing. Captain Williamson says in one of his letters : "Pre- 
 vious to the setting in of the winter a grist-mill and saw-mill on the 
 same dam, near the town, was in great forwardness.'' These were lo- 
 cated not far from the present mills of L. D. Hodgman. He further 
 states that there was a great search}- of provisions occasioned by the 
 number of families arriving in the country ; that by the end of the sea- 
 son not less than fifteen families had located in the town of Bath, then 
 the center of a wilderness of 900,000 acres. William Aulls, Samuel 
 Baker and Amos Stone having located in Pleasant Valley, and Thomas 
 Corbitt established himself at the mouth of Mud creek. 
 
 In the autumn of '93 or the spring of '94 George McClure, a stalwart 
 young Scotch-Irishman, in company with his uncle, James Moore, from 
 Northumberland, after various adventures, reached the new town, and 
 thus describes his advent : 
 
 " We put up at the only house ot entertainment in the village — if it 
 could be called a house. Its construction was of pitch pine logs, in 
 two apartments, one-story high, kept by a kind and obliging English 
 family of the name of Metcalf. This house was the only one in town, 
 except a similar one for the temporary abode of Captain Williamson, 
 which answered the purpose of parlor, dining-room and land office. 
 There were besides some shanties for mechanics and laborers. I 
 called," says McClure, " on Captain Williamson and introduced my- 
 self to him as a mechanic* I told him that I had seen his advertise- 
 ment, and in pursuance of his invitation had come to ask employment. 
 ' Very well,' said he, 'young man, you shall not be disappointed.' He 
 told me I should have the whole of his work if I could procure as mauy 
 hands as was necessary. We entered into an agreement. He asked 
 me when I should be ready to commence business. I replied, as soon 
 as I could return to Northumberland, engage some hands and send my 
 tools and baggage up the north branch to Tioga Point, that being then 
 the head of boat navigation." 
 
 As agreed, he went back, shipped his baggage and tools and forthwith 
 returned to Bath on foot, procured his effects at Tioga Point, boated 
 them up and commenced work with a will to build up the town. An- 
 other stalwart young Scotch-Irishman, Henry McElwee (always called 
 Harry) made his entry into the new town on New Year's day 1794, and 
 tells us "that he only found a few shanties standing in the woods." 
 Williamson had his house near the present land office and the Metcalfs 
 kept a log tavern upon Morris street nearly opposite the Mansion House. 
 In the spring, under the direction of Williamson, he made the first 
 clearings, being the Pulteney Square and four acres behind the agent's 
 house for a garden, for the cultivation of which the Captain imported 
 a gardener from England. The trees on the Square were carefully 
 
 *Mr. McClure was a carpenter by trade.

 chopped close to the ground. A single pine was left standing in front 
 of the agency house for a " Libert y Tree." It was trimmed so as to 
 leave a tuft on the top and it bid defiance to the elements until after 
 1820, and was blown down not long after that period. 
 
 The previous winter Charles Williamson had been appointed one of 
 the judges of the court of common pleas and general sessions of Ontario 
 county. As yet there were no towns with prescribed boundaries in the 
 county. The act of the legislature erecting the county, provided that 
 the justices of the sessions should proceed to divide the new county into 
 two or more districts for town purposes. The}- had, in 1791, made the 
 ' ' District of the Painted Post, ' ' which embraced the entire territory of the 
 present county of Steuben. All the then-settlers were located on the 
 Chemung, Tioga and Canisteo rivers. In 1793, Jedediah Stephens of 
 Canisteo was elected supervisor of the district. At the January session 
 1794, through the influence of Captain Williamson, there was made a 
 new district embracing all the territory west of the third range under 
 the name of Williamson, as appears b3 r the adjustment of certain ac- 
 counts between the district of Erwin or Painted Post and the district 
 of Williamson, made by Eli Mead and Eleazer Lindsley of the one part 
 and Jedediah Stephens and George Hornell of the other, on April 26, 
 1794, recorded in the minutes of the district of Painted Post by E. 
 Lindsley Jr. , town clerk of that district. There is no record of this pro- 
 ceeding to be found in the clerk's office of Ontario county. Bath was 
 included in the new district, but when and where its town meetings 
 were held is not now known. The records of the town clerk have been 
 destroyed or lie mouldering in the old rubbish of some garret. If they 
 could only be brought to light they would furnish a rare treat to the 
 local antiquarians. 
 
 In mid-summer, while McClure with his deft workmen was busy in 
 erecting new dwellings and McElwee with his stout woodsmen was 
 mowing down the green forest, and the gallant Captain was dashing 
 here and there projecting settlements and improvements ; a real war 
 cloud loomed over his new possessions and caused much alarm. The 
 Indians in western New York were sullen, and by no means pleased 
 with the rapid intrusion of white settlers upon their old hunting 
 grounds. The British government still held their posts at Niagara and 
 Oswego. Colonel Simcoe, the Canadian governor, who himself had 
 no good feeling toward the intruders, hearing of Captain William- 
 son's newly formed settlement at Sodus Bay, in hot haste, dispatched 
 a trusted lieutenant on August 16th, to notify the Captain to "vamose the 
 ranch "forthwith or suffer the consequences. Fortunately, the Captain 
 chanced to be absent or there would have been a genuine casus-belli. 
 The whole country was aroused. An express was forthwith sent to 
 
132 TOWN OF BATH. 
 
 Governor Clinton , informing him that ihe sovereignty of New York was 
 denied. His Scotch-Irish blood was up. On September, nth, he issued 
 orders to Colonel Gansevoort to prepare immediately for the defence of 
 the new settlements. The Colonel commissioned Captain Williamson 
 to build a suitable block house in Bath, as well as at Sodus for protec- 
 tion. The Captain was not idle ; he called for proposals to prepare the 
 timber and prosecute the work. Young McClure, aching to get a blow 
 at the bloody prelatists who had so bitter^ persecuted his covenant- 
 ing ancestors, dropped his hammer, girded on a rusty sword, recruit- 
 ed a company and commenced drilling them at once. The United 
 States Government then took the matter in hand ; negotiations were 
 opened ; the British relinquished their arrogant demands, offered 
 adequate apologies and the threatened storm blew over. The old 
 swords were turned into plow-shares, the timber for the block-house 
 was used for better purposes, and the stockades for Pulteney Square 
 made capital fence posts. News was first received here of Wayne's 
 great victory over the western Indians in August, resulting in the 
 absolute submission of the whole race, and was transmitted to Albany. 
 In the fall Colonel Pickering held a treaty with the Six Nations at 
 Canandaigua and settled all differences with them and buried the 
 hatchet forever. William Savary, a Quaker minister from Philadelphia, 
 selected by the Indians to look after their interests, attended the con- 
 ference. He passed over the Williamson road as far as Blood's Corners, 
 going and returning from the treat}-. We learn from his published 
 journal that there was not a settler between Bivins (now Bloods) and 
 Bath, and that Tommy Corbitt's tavern at Mud Creek was the onh^ 
 house between Bath and Painted Post. He tells us that Captain 
 Williamson entertained him right royally at his mansion for the night 
 on his way home, but makes no mention of the growth or size of the 
 town . 
 
 Peace being assured and all apprehension from Indian raids having 
 been allayed, 1795 opened brightly for the Genesee country, and Captain 
 Williamson was on his "high-heels," as they say, and pushed improve- 
 ments vigorously. Strangers came pouring in from far and near, and 
 the Captain sometimes was put to it to entertain them, but he did it. 
 McClure tells us that the Captain said to him one day that he expected 
 much company shortly and had not the room to entertain them. " He 
 asked me how long it would take to erect and complete a house forty 
 by sixteen feet, a story and a half in height, all material delivered, no 
 plastering, all ceiled. I replied, 'Three days.' He said, 'Do it.' Work- 
 ing night and day, the work was accomplished to his satisfaction in 
 forty-eight hours. ' ' In June the Captain was visited by the Duke de la 
 Rouchefoucauld-Liancourt, a French exile, and several of his compan- 
 
TOWN OF BATH. 1 33 
 
 ions and was sumptuously entertained for many days. The Duke in 
 his published travels writes : ' ' The habitation of the Captain consists 
 of several small houses, formed of trunks of trees and joiners work, 
 •which at present, forms a ve^ irregular whole, but which he intends 
 soon to improve. His way of living is simple, neat and good; every 
 day we had a joint of fresh meat, vegetables and w T ine. We met with 
 no circumstances of pomp or luxury, but found good ease, humour and 
 plenty." He commends the Captain highly for his affability, liberality 
 and business activity, and congratulates him upon the good work he is 
 doing and pays a delicate compliment to his modest wife and two 
 charming children. From the Duke we learn that some settlers had 
 this year established themselves at Kanona, but their names are not 
 given. 
 
 This year the sales of land were brisk, emigration heavy, the crops 
 promising ; and the Captain resolved to commemorate the same in this 
 town by a grand blow-out on the first of September by opening a grand 
 fair and elaborate races. A race course of regulation standard was care- 
 fully cleared and graded east of May street upon the farm now occupied 
 by Freeman D. Hopkins. That the grand affair was widely advertised 
 is clear from a notice inserted by the captain in the ' ' Western Sentinel ' ' 
 of August 11, 1795, a paper published at Whitestown, Oneida county, 
 that, the " Fair and races at Bath were postponed to the 21st day of 
 September on account of the meeting of the court of Oyer and Terminer 
 and Circuit at Canandaigua, of which he as judge was compelled to at- 
 tend on the first Monday of September. " McMaster, in his history, 
 gives the following graphic account of the affair : 
 
 " On the day and at the place appointed for the race in the proclama- 
 tion, sportsmen from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore were in 
 attendance. The high blades of Virginia and Maryland, the fast boj-s 
 of Jersey, the wise jockeys of Long Island, men of Ontario, Pennsyl- 
 vania and Canada, settlers, choppers, gamesters and hunters, to the 
 number of fifteen hundred or two thousand, met on the Pine Plains to 
 see the horses run — a number as great, considering the condition of the 
 region where the}' met, as now assembles at State Fairs and mass meet- 
 ings. * * The races passed off brilliantby. Captain Williamson , him- 
 self a sportsman of spirit and discretion, entered a southern mare, Virginia 
 Nell. High-Sheriff Dunn entered Silk-Stocking, a New Jersey horse 
 — quadrupeds of renown even at the present day. Money was plenty, 
 and the betting lively. The ladies of the two dignitaries who owned 
 the rival animals, bet each three hundred dollars and a pipe of wine on 
 the horses of their lords, or as otherwise related, poured seven hun- 
 dred dollars into the apron of a third lady who was stake-holder. Silk- 
 Stocking was victorious." 
 
 "Early in 1796," writes the Captain, "on an enumeration being 
 taken of the inhabitants in the town of Bath and the district eight miles 
 
!34 TOWN OF BATH. 
 
 around, by the assessors, there were found above eight hundred souls, 
 two schools, one grist-mill and five saw-mills." On March 18, 1796,. 
 by an act of the legislature, the county of Steuben was erected from the 
 county of Ontario and the county seat located at Bath, with the follow- 
 ing provision : 
 
 ' ' That it shall and may be lawful to and for the justices of the Court 
 of General Sessions for the said county of Steuben, or a majority of them, 
 at any General Sessions of the peace, to divide the county into as many 
 towns as they shall deem necessary, and that the said Justices, at any 
 such general sessions, shall fix and direct the place or places, in each of 
 said towns so made, at which the first town meeting for electing town 
 officers shall be held, and all future meetings in any such town shall be 
 held at such place as a majority of the inhabitants thereof shall by open 
 vote at any town meeting appoint. ' '* 
 
 The county officers appointed by the governor were as follows: 
 William Kersey, Abraham Bradley and Eleazer Lindsley, judges ; Ste- 
 phen Ross, surrogate , George D. Cooper, county clerk ; William Dunn, 
 sheriff. All of them duly qualified. On June 21, 1796, in pursuance 
 of the act, the court of common pleas and general sessions of the peace 
 met in the land office at Bath, William Kersey presiding, assisted by- 
 Judges Bradley and Lindsley, and some of the justices of the peace in 
 commission and an order was made and entered that the said justices 
 report upon the erection and division of towns at the next October term, 
 of the court. At that term the minutes show that all the justices of the 
 peace of the county were present and it is presumed that they then and 
 there performed their duty, but no report can be found. The " Albany 
 Gazette ' ' contains the following statement : 
 
 ' ' Agreeably to a provision in the law erecting a part of Ontario into 
 a new county by the name of Steuben, the court of sessions have di- 
 divided that county into the six following towns, viz. : Bath, Painted 
 Post, Frederickstown (afterwards Wayne), Middletown (afterwards Ad- 
 dison), Canisteo and Dansville." 
 
 Bath was bounded on the north by the county line, east by Lake 
 Keuka and Frederickstown, south by Painted Post and Middletown and 
 west by Dansville, as subsequent records and the exercise of municipal 
 jurisdiction show. 
 
 The next movement of Captain Williamson, after the county seat was 
 fixed at Bath was the establishment of a newspaper. William Kersey, 
 the newly appointed county judge, an attache of the land office, was 
 dispatched by him in the spring to Pennsylvania to procure the necess- 
 ary material. Kersey, from Yorktown under date of April 18, 1796, 
 writes the Captain: "The printing press is not yet completed but the 
 workmen tell me they will have it done in a few days." James Edie of 
 
 * Law of 1796.

 Northumberland, a practical printer, was engaged to bring on the press 
 and material, which he did early in the summer, and formed a partner- 
 ship with the judge under the style of "Kersey & Edie," and set up 
 their press in a log building on the southwest corner of St. Patrick 
 Square, where now stands General Averill's residence. All that part 
 of the town was still in the woods, affording a very convenient hiding 
 place for a non-fighting editor when threatened by a belligerent dead- 
 beat or swindler touched on the raw. It was there, on October 19, 
 1796, that was issued the first number of the "Bath Gazette and Gene- 
 see Advertiser ; published by William Kersey and James Edie, Bath, 
 Steuben county, N. Y., $2.00 per year." This was the first newspaper 
 issued in the state, west of the pre-emption line. It was printed as a 
 small folio sheet, fifteen inches by nine, with three broad columns, and 
 was fairly done. According to Turner it was running in 1799. It was 
 probably suspended in 1800 on the retirement of Captain Williamson 
 from the agency. What became of the press is not known. 
 
 The grand Theatre or Opera House was undoubtedly built by the 
 Captain, at the junction of Morris and Steuben streets, the present Cap- 
 tain Stocum place, this same year, previous to the fall races, for in 1797 
 the " Gazette " advertises the plays and farces to be performed. We 
 subjoin a program as it appeared in the "Gazette" of December 2 1 , 1797:

 As yet there were but few post -roads or post-offices in the country. 
 The nearest office on the south was at Northumberland, one hundred 
 and forty miles distant. To meet the want, Captain Williamson em- 
 ployed his own post-riders to and from that place, who made the trip 
 once a fortnight. Tommy Corbitt rode to the Block House and ex- 
 changed packages with Alexander Smith of Lycoming, who filled the 
 route from that place to Northumberland. Charles Cameron was the 
 local distributer of the letters here. After his removal from the place, 
 William Kersey performed the duties until the government office was 
 established, January 1, 1800. 
 
 In 1797 the town organizations were completed and preparations 
 made for the annual town meetings. Bath embraced all the territory 
 now included in the towns of Urbana, Pulteney, Prattsburgh, Wheeler 
 and Avoca. A copy from the town records of Bath is as follows : 
 
 "At a town meeting held at the residence of John Metcalf in the town 
 of Bath, for town officers to serve in said town, on the 4th day of April, 
 1797. After the votes were taken by ballot, it appeared that the follow- 
 ing gentlemen were duly elected, viz.: Chas. Cameron, Esq. .Super- 
 visor; James Edie, Town Clerk; William Aulls, Patrick McKell, Hec- 
 tor McKenzie, Commissioners of Highways; Gustavius Gillespie. Col- 
 lector; Amos Stone, George Dixon, Abijah Peters, Constables; Daniel 
 Cruger, Patrick McKell, Overseers of the Poor; Amos Eggleston, Jos- 
 eph Inslie, William Read, John Woodard, Henry Bnsh, Henry McEl- 
 wee, Jacob Phillips, Overseers of the Highways; Eli Read, Andrew 
 Smith, James McKell, Thomas Streeter, Fence Viewers; Robert Big- 
 gar, Samuel Miller, Samuel Baker, Assessors; Samuel Baker, Silas 
 Beers, Pound-masters; George D. Cooper, John Sheather, Charles Will- 
 iamson, Benjamin F. Young, Commissioners of Schools." 
 
 The supervisor elected at that meeting having resigned, a special 
 town meeting was held on the 19th day of June of that year, when 
 George McClure was elected to fill the vacancy. 
 
 The number of road districts was seven, and two hundred and thirty- 
 five persons were assessed for highway labor. 
 
 The court-house and jail were completed this year. The court-house 
 was a wooden structure, a story and a half high with porticoes, flanked 
 by wings, and located on the east side of Pulteney Square. It was 
 built at the expense of the agency. It was a neat and commodious 
 structure, and well fitted for the purposes intended. The first record 
 we have of its occupancy by the court was at the June term in 179S. 
 When the new court-house was built in 1827, one of the wings of the old 
 one was moved on Morris street and fitted up for a dwelling, on the prop- 
 erty of the late Matthew Shannon, where it stood till a few years ago. 
 The jail was constructed of squared timber, and stood on the lot in the 
 rear of the Hewlett cabinet shop. The town continued to improve in

 appearance and population. The annual fair and races were held, but 
 not with quite so much pomp and circumstance. 
 
 In the early settlement of the country, the roads, all know, were 
 simply horrible. Ninety years ago no other mode of transportation was 
 thought of than by natural water ways. Great efforts therefore were 
 made hereabout, to remove obstructions from the smaller affluents of 
 the great rivers, so that navigation would be open from the interior to 
 the sea. The Conhocton from Bath, in the spring and fall, with little 
 labor, was made fairly navigable for rafts, boats and other craft. All 
 the products of the south western part of the state, principally lumber 
 and grain , it was expected would thus reach the great marts ofPhiladelphia 
 and Baltimore. The experiment was made in this spring (1798) by 
 starting from Mud creek two rafts of boards, which in a very brief time 
 and at very small cost were landed safely in Baltimore. This settled 
 the question of navigation for that species of craft. Immigration was 
 so great into the town and surrounding country, that as yet there was 
 no surplus farm products for transportation. Bath being so situated, it 
 is not strange that a man with Captain Williamson's, sanguine tempera- 
 inent, overflowed with bright anticipations of its growth and greatness 
 and believed that it was bound to become the great commercial me- 
 tropolis of Southern Xew York. This year he published his "Des- 
 cription of the Genesee Country ' ' and advertised widely. 
 
 A London magazine of August, 1799, gives the following account of 
 Captain Williamson: 
 
 "He keeps stores of medicines, encourages races and amusements 
 and keeps a set of beautiful stallions. Bath is the chief settlement and 
 chief town of the county. At this time he is building a school, which 
 is to be endowed with some hundred acres of land. The salary of the 
 master, Williamson means to pay until the instruction of the children 
 be sufficient for his support. He has built a sessions house and a 
 prison, and one good Inn which he has sold for considerable profit and 
 is now building another which is to contain a ball room . He has also con - 
 structed a bridge, which opens a free and eas3 r communication with the 
 other side of the river. ' ' 
 
 The school building mentioned was the first and only one used for 
 school purposes for many years, and was located on the northwest cor- 
 ner of Pulteney Square. The late Colonel Bull has often said that it was 
 there he received the rudiments of his education. The bridge across 
 the Conhocton referred to was located not far from the site of the present 
 one, and was the first river bridge built in the county. 
 
 In March 1800 Messrs. Swing and Patterson built an ark eighty feet 
 in length by twenty in width, at White's saw-mill on the Conhocton, 
 five miles below the village of Bath, and loaded it with two thousand 
 bushels of wheat, and on the 14th of that month set out for Baltimore, 
 
138 TOWN OF BATH. 
 
 which port they reached in due time with their freight. Two others 
 with like freight, in the month of April followed from Bartle's Mills on 
 Mud Creek, with like success. They were the first ventures of the kind 
 and created quite a sensation throughout the country. This species of 
 craft, it is claimed, was the invention of a Mr. Kryder, who, in 1792, 
 built one on the Juniata, loaded it with wheat and whiskey and ran it 
 down the Susquehanna to Baltimore. It was constructed as follows : 
 A frame was made of three sticks of square timber, eight by twelve 
 inches, the two outside timbers fifty -five feet long placed eight feet a 
 part. The center stick was seventy-five feet long. These were securely 
 framed together by means of shorter ties or girths mortised into them. 
 At the bow and stern a similar timber extends from the ends of the out 
 side pieces uniting at the end of the center piece so as to make the ex- 
 tremities sharp so as to cut the w r ater and meet with less resistance. 
 This frame was then planked completely over and caulked as tightly as 
 possible. The frame was then turned over, "the planked side being 
 under and the whole shoved into the water. Studs or studding four or 
 five feet long and five feet apart were mortised into the outside timbers 
 and then completely planked up on the outside to the ends. The inside 
 was ceiled bottom and sides, the whole fifty-five feet. There was a solid 
 post at each terminal point in which was firmly imbedded a stout oak 
 pin upon which hung the oars for the purpose of directing the course of 
 the craft, but not to propel it. The oars were made from small straight 
 white pines, light, dry and tapering, and some thirty feet in length and 
 eight inches at the but, in which was cut a gain for about five feet to 
 receive the blade. This was made from a plank about fifteen feet 
 long and eighteen or twenty inches in width, sawed for the purpose, 
 tapering, being about two and a half inches thick at one end and an 
 inch at the other, rounded at the thicker end and fastened securely 
 in its place in the stem with wooden pins. At a point where the blade 
 and stem will balance, a hole was bored, beveled on the upper side to 
 give play horizontally to the oar when it is placed on the oar pin and 
 so balanced when on the oar pin that the blade would just dip lightly 
 in the water. The small end of the stem was whittled down to a 
 convenient size so that it could be readily grasped by the hand. The 
 ark, except at the bow and stern, and a small space in the center for the 
 cabin was covered with boards, as well to protect the cargo as to furnish 
 a smooth walk for the oarsman. Captain Williamson was greatly 
 elated at the result of these ventures ; rafting and ark building became 
 a lively business upon all the streams in the early spring. 
 
 Williamson commenced building his grand country seat on his 
 Springfield farm, so called, a mile and a half below the village, near 
 Lake Salubria, and hard-by his famous race course. It was the largest

 private dwelling in western New York, and calculated to dispense hos- 
 pitality on an extensive scale. Although constructed of wood, it was 
 considered magnificent, with its spacious parlors, broad halls and grand 
 assembly room, with their high ceilings and heavy mouldings, all fin- 
 ished and furnished exquisitely after the latest style. It was flanked 
 by two wings, each as large as an ordinary dwelling house, set off with 
 piazzas and porticoes. The grounds about were artistically laid out and 
 graced with ornamental trees and shrubs, and the then rare Lombardy 
 poplars. On its completion in 1801, he placed it in charge of Major 
 Presley Thornton, a kinsman of Washington and an officer in the Rev- 
 olution, who had just come from Virginia with a complement of colored 
 servants, and a young wife of rare wit and beauty. She was long 
 known as " The Madam " from her graceful and commanding ways. 
 The Captain maintained the establishment and made his home with 
 them after he retired from the agency, and dispensed its hospitality 
 with a generous hand. The place became famous for its brilliant 
 assemblies. For there gathered on such occasions all the beauty and 
 aristocracy from all the Genesee country, and even the distant Susque- 
 hanna. The Major died in 1806, and the Captain soon after left for Eu- 
 rope and never returned. The Springfield farm, with the appurtenan- 
 ces, passed into other hands. The purchaser failed and it fell to his 
 creditors, and soon the famous mansion, with its garden and walks, 
 showed signs of decay and became a picture of desolation — the abode 
 of the owl and the bat and other uncanny things. Thirty odd years 
 ago it was taken down to give place to the present farm house of Mrs. 
 R. B. Wilkes. 
 
 In 1 798 the legislature passed an act enabling aliens for three years 
 to take the title to real estate. December 13, 1800, Captain Williamson 
 and wife conveyed, upon certain conditions expressed, to Pulteney, 
 Hornby and Colquhoun all the unsold lands held by him on their ac- 
 count, with the notes, contracts and mortgages received by him for their 
 benefit, and resigned his trust. Colonel Robert Troup was appointed 
 agent to succeed him . The Captain therefore devoted himself to the 
 management of his own properties, and made the Springfield house his 
 headquarters. The boom in real estate subsided, but the growth of the 
 town was steady and substantial. Large quantities of timber, wheat 
 and other commodities were every spring sent down the Conhocton. 
 By the sale of these productions, the settlers were enabled to pay for 
 their lands and increase their improvements. In 1803 many settlers 
 came in from Virginia and Maryland.

 Charles Williamson, son of Alexander and Christina (Robertson) 
 Williamson, of Balgray, Dumfries -shire, Scotland, was born in Edin- 
 
I40 TOWN OF BATH. 
 
 burgh, Scotland, July 12, 1757. Captain Williamson, as he was com- 
 monly designated, received a good education, entered the army in 1775, 
 as captain, was captured in his passage to join his regiment in America, 
 and held a prisoner in Boston until the close of the war. In 1791 , he 
 was engaged to take charge of the great purchase of Sir William Pul- 
 teney in western New York. He was appointed lieutenant-colonel of 
 the Steuben militia by Governor Jay, and was elected three successive 
 years to the state legislature. 
 
 "He was dark of feature, tall, slender, and erect of figure, ' ' writes Mc- 
 Master. "He was" says McClure*"a perfect gentleman, ahighsouled, 
 honorable man; generous, humane, obliging and courteous to all, 
 whether rich or poor. ' ' 
 
 Turner adds: 
 
 "Well educated, possessing more than ordinary social qualities, with 
 a mind improved by travel and association with the best class in 
 Europe, his society was sought after by the many educated and intelli- 
 gent men who came to this region in the earliest settlement, and he 
 knew well how to adapt himself to circumstances, and to all classes that 
 went to make up the aggregate of the earl}- adventurers; changing his 
 habits of life with great ease and facility, he was at home in every prim- 
 itive cabin; a welcome, cheerful and contented guest, with words of 
 encouragement for those who were sinking under the hardships of 
 pioneer life; and often ready with substantial aid to relieve their neces- 
 sities; when found prostrated with disease he would furnish some brac- 
 ing tonic or restoring cordial. ' ' 
 
 Long after he left the county, a local paper thus sketches his char- 
 acter. 
 
 "Colonel Williamson was a gentleman of great worth and enterprise, 
 and his memory will be cherished by the early settlers of this country 
 with every demonstration of respect to which the character of every 
 great and good man is entitled. Under his agency the settlers experi- 
 enced the benefits of a liberal and enlightened policy. He was not re- 
 strained b} r those narrow views which covetousness creates in sordid and 
 avaricious men. The rapid settlement and improvement of the country 
 under his direction was beheld with wonder and admiration. Mills 
 were erected, roads constructed, and every avenue to market opened of 
 which the nature of the country admitted. These, with many other 
 improvements, are both an evidence of his zeal for the prosperity- of the 
 settlers, of his unwearied exertions to increase the value of the property 
 confided to his care, and form a striking feature in the history of his ad- 
 ministration. No wilderness ever disappeared and became the abode 
 of a numerous population in so short a period, as did this under his 
 agency. He projected the great Western Turnpike and the wonderful 
 bridge across the Cayuga Lake." 
 
 He promoted education and aided in the establishment of religious 
 societies by donations of lands and other material aid. He was charged 
 with being speculative and visionary, wasteful and extravagant in the 
 use of his principal's means, but unjustly. It is manifest now that he

 saw clearly that he had found the garden spot of the world, and realized 
 what it must become when fairly developed. Every dollar was, there- 
 fore, wisely and properly expended for that purpose. 
 
 Colonel Williamson married Abigail, daughter of E. Newell of Rox- 
 bury, Mass., December 2, 1781. The children born to them were 
 Christian, born November 1, 1786, and died at Bath, September 27, 
 1793 ; Ann, date of birth unknown ; Charles Alexander, born Novem- 
 ber 12, 1794. The latter married a Miss Clark, of New York, and re- 
 sided for a time in Geneva, N. Y., and then took up his abode in 
 Scotland. 
 
 The Colonel died in November, 1808, of yellow fever on his passage 
 from Havana. "There are contrary accounts of his position at the 
 time of his death. One is that he had been appointed governor of one 
 of the West India islands, and another is that his adventurous and en- 
 terprising spirit had connected him with some of the earliest movements 
 in relation to South American independence, in which he was to have 
 borne a conspicuous part and in pursuance of which he was at sea."* 
 Mrs. Williamson died at Geneva, N. Y.. August 31, 1824. 
 
 The first comers with Captain Williamson in 1793: Charles Came- 
 ron, born in Inverness-shire, Scotland, April 26, 1773, had charge of the 
 first company of pioneers. His father, Ewing Cameron, occupied a 
 farm on the Lochiel estate. At an early age he went to reside with an 
 uncle. William Stuart, in Dumfries-shire, where he became acquainted 
 with Captain Williamson and engaged in his service. He lauded in 
 Norfolk, Ya., in December, 1791, and came to Bath April 15, 1793, with 
 thirty Scotch and Irish pioneers to make the settlement, superintend 
 the erection of the necessary buildings and the laying out of the village 
 plot. He was the first merchant, the first supervisor elected in the town 
 of Bath and was the first justice of the peace appointed for the town. 
 In 1797 he married Jane, the daughter of Isaac Mullender. After 1800 
 he opened a store in Canandaigua and about 1805 removed to Lyons 
 and built a grist-mill. In 1821 he was induced to accept the agency of 
 the Hornby estate in Chenango count y and took up his residence in 
 Greene. His wife died January 31, 1841. He was greatly respected 
 for his many virtues and died deeply lamented at Greene, December 26, 
 1852. He left no children. 
 
 John Johnston came with Captain Williamson and Charles Cameron 
 to the United States in 1791. He was from Dumfries-shire, Scotland, 
 and said to be connected with the family of the Captain, and may have 
 been of the Johnstons of Wester Hall. He was a gentleman of educa- 
 tion and ability, as is clearly shown by his correspondence with the Cap- 
 tain in the course of his numerous transactions while in his service.

 After Captain Williamson surrendered his trusts, Johnston was appoint- 
 ed the agent of the Hornby and Colquhoun estates, and took up his 
 residence in Canandaigua. He married a step-daughter of Nicholas 
 Lowe, of New York. He was the father of James Johnston, of Geneva, 
 and Mrs. Leavenworth of Illinois. Mr. Johnston died in 1806 at Can- 
 andaigua. 
 
 Hector McKenzie, another Scotchman, followed Captain William- 
 son to this country in 1792, and came to Bath in 1793. He was said 
 to be the "son of a Laird, and carried his head quite high," says Mc- 
 Clure. Robert Morris, upon whonf he called upon his arrival at Phila- 
 delphia, formed no very high opinion of him, as appears by some of his 
 letters to the Captain. Being a Scot, Williamson kept him in his em- 
 ploy several years. He became quite a land speculator. He had a 
 'wife, but who she was or what became of her is not known. It would 
 seem from his letters to the Captain that there was some misunderstand- 
 ing between them, and he left for the West Indies, where it is said he 
 soon after died. 
 
 William McCartne>\ born in Kirkcudbright, Scotland, 1772, came to 
 America in 1791, and to Bath with the first comers of 1793. In 1794 
 or '95 he erected the first cabin in Dansville on the farm of the late John 
 McNair and kept bachelor's hall. July 14, 1796, he married Mary 
 McCurdy. He became a leading man in Livingston county, a member 
 of the legislature and for twenty-seven years served as supervisor. He 
 died in 1831, leaving many descendeuts. His wife died in 1864. 
 
 Henry Tower, born in Alloway, Scotland, in 177 1, came to America 
 in 1 79 1, and to Bath in 1793. He was a trusted employe of Captain 
 Williamson, engaged by him to open roads and erect mills. He 
 was a merchant in Newtown (now Elmira) in 1796, and entertained the 
 late King of France, Louis Philippe, and his brother there, when exiles. 
 In 1805 he superintended for Williamson the building of the Hopeton 
 mills at Dresden and afterward the Alloway mills at Lyons. He subse- 
 quently became the owner of the latter and was the largest merchant 
 miller in the country. He was deputy commissary during the war of 
 181 2. He married and had a family of children and died at Knowles- 
 ville, Orleans county in 1844. 
 
 James Tower came at the same time but did not remain long at Bath. 
 He was established in mercantile business in Northumberland, Pa,, in 
 1794 by Williamson. There was a disagreement and a bitter legal and 
 newspaper controversy between them . He j oined his brother at Lyons . 
 He was married, but when and where he died is not known. 
 
 Andrew Smith, known as ' ' Muckle Andrew, ' ' from his great strength 
 and size, was born in Lockerby, Scotland, in 1761. He was for vears 
 Williamson's farmer and manager of his out-of-door affairs. He mar- 
 ried Elizabeth Lewis, and settled on a farm three miles below Bath, now 
 
TOWN' OF BATH. 143 
 
 occupied by the widow of his grandson, Seneca Smith. He died there 
 many 3 r ears ago leaving a large family of children. 
 
 William Aulls, a Scotch-Irishman, was the first settler in Pleasant 
 Valley — then the town of Bath. In the month of May, 1793, about a 
 month after Captain Williamson had opened his office for the sale of the 
 lands of his new purchase, Mr. Aulls with his son Thomas came on and 
 located a farm in the valley and commenced a clearing, now known as 
 the Decker farm. They cleared a few acres, put in a crop and erected 
 a log dwelling for the use of the family. Early in the fall he went 
 to Pennsylvania for his family, leaving his son to look after his place. 
 He returned with them over Captain Williamson's new road and stopped 
 at Judge Baker's hostelry on the Cowanesque. Baker came on with 
 him and also located a farm near him. Aulls was born, it is said, in 
 Londonderry, Ireland, on January 21, 1748, and received a good edu- 
 cation. At the age of nineteen he made a visit to America and was so 
 pleased with the country that in 177 1 he came to stay. He first en- 
 gaged in teaching at Boston, and there married his wife, then a widow. 
 He then settled in New Brunswick, N. J., built a mill and engaged in 
 mercantile business. He actively engaged in the war of the revolution, 
 and as a consequence his property suffered at the hands of British par- 
 tizans and at the close of the war he found himself penniless. For 
 safet\- duringthe war he removed his family to Lancaster, Pa. , where they 
 remained until he determined to seek a home in the wilderness of Xew 
 York. He had two sons and six daughters. He was a staunch Pres- 
 byterian and highly esteemed for his virtues. He died February 23. 
 1S16; and his wife, August 17, 1823. 
 
 Samuel Baker was born April 24, 1763, in Branford, Conn., and in 
 March, 1787 he left Hudson in search of a home in the western wilder- 
 ness. He made his way over the Catskills and struck the head waters 
 of the eastern branch of the Susquehanna river. This he followed un- 
 til its junction with the Tioga or Chemung branch and up this he 
 pushed his way to its junction with the Cowanesque just over the 
 Pennsylvania border, and there commenced a clearing and erected a 
 cabin. He found a few settlers at Tioga Point and at Newtown. Sam- 
 uel Harris had a cabin on the Conhocton near its mouth. His bio- 
 graphers do not tell us how he came to pass by the broad and rich al- 
 luvial bottoms of the Chemung and Tioga and seek a home in so re- 
 mote a nook in the deep wilderness. But he had purchased a block 
 from the Connecticut Company which laid claim to all northern Penn- 
 sylvania. A color is given to this statement from the fact that it was 
 said he left Pennsylvania on account of the failure of his title to the 
 land occupied by him. His house on the Cowanesque became a favorite 
 stopping place for those journeying from the south to the Genesee

 country. William Aulls and family on their way from Harrisburgh to 
 Pleasant Valley in the fall of 1793 called upon him and Mr. Baker ac- 
 companied his guests to the valley, and on October 9, 1793, he pur- 
 chased a farm adjoining Mr. Aulls, which is now in the possession of 
 Mrs C. D. Champlin, a grand-daughter of Judge Baker. He proceed- 
 ed to make a clearing and erect a habitation, and in the spring follow- 
 ing removed his family to their new home in Pleasant Valley where he 
 continued to reside in peace and comfort, beloved and respected till his 
 death. He was elected an assessor at the first town meeting in Bath in 
 1797, and was supervisor and town collector for many terms . In 1 S 1 3 he 
 was appointed first judge of the county, and in 181 7, surrogate. Judge 
 Baker had twelve children all of whom attained their majority and 
 married. He died at his home in the valley December 2, 1842, his 
 wife and ten children surviving. 
 
 John Metcalf was an Englishman and immigrated to this country prior 
 to the revolution. He kept an inn near Philadelphia in 1773. It was 
 in that city he formed the acquaintance of Captain Williamson and was 
 induced by him to come to Bath and open a house of entertainment, 
 which he did in 1793. He died in i799and his wife, Ann Metcalf, kept 
 up the hostelry until her death in 1814. They left many descendents. 
 John Metcalf, a son, the father of the late Mrs. Polly Finch, was surro- 
 gate and clerk of the county for many years, and died in 1829 while 
 holding the latter office. He was a very popular official. 
 
 Thomas Corbitt, from Pennsylvania, who was one of Williamson's 
 road builders, settled at the mouth of Mud creek in 1793 and kept a 
 house of entertainment, which was the only dwelling between Bath and 
 Painted Post for a year or more. He had three sons, John, Thomas 
 and Michael. He was a revolutionary pensioner. 
 
 John Dolson removed from Xewtown to Bath in 1795, and in 1802 
 and 1S03 kept an inn at Mud Creek. He had befriended Captain Wil- 
 liamson and was rewarded by the gift of a farm, it is said. 
 
 Amos Stone, the friend and neighbor of Judge Baker, was born in 
 Massachusetts, September 28, 1759. Hewas a captain and a prominent 
 actor in Shay's rebellion in 1786, and upon its suppression sought shel- 
 ter on the Cowanesque in Pennsylvania, where he married Elizabeth 
 Holliday, January 13, 1790. They had eleven children , three of whom 
 were born previous to the arrival of the family in Pleasant Valley, where 
 Mr. Stone took up a farm adjoining Judge Baker in 1793, and there re- 
 sided until his death . Among his descendents in Steuben county is Mrs . 
 Eunice Lamb of the town of Wayne. 
 
 Samuel Doyle came from Northumberland county, Pa. , with William- 
 son's party in 1793. He, with the three Walkers, was charged with 
 the murder of the two Seneca Indians on Pine creek in 1790, which 
 
£ 
 
TOWN OF BATH. 145 
 
 created great excitement. He was arrested and tried for the murder at 
 Sunbury i Pa., in that year, but was acquitted. He lived three miles 
 below the village of Bath and died there more than seventy years ago . 
 He left descendants. 
 
 Henry Bush settled at the mouth of Mud creek as early as 1 795 , but 
 nothing further is known of him. 
 
 Charles McClure was a brother of the General and a merchant in Bath. 
 He died at Tioga Point in 1S03 on his journey homeward from Phil- 
 adelphia. 
 
 John Willson came from Pennsylvania and returned to that State. 
 He was a very prominent man, was appointed sheriff in 1800, elected to 
 the legislature in 1806 and county clerk in 1815. 
 
 George McClure was born near Londonderry, Ireland, in 1771, and 
 died at Elgin, Illinois, August 16, 185 1. He states in his narrative 
 that he was kept at school till he was fifteen and then chose the trade of a 
 carpenter. In 179 1 he sailed for Baltimore. He readily found em- 
 ployment and worked at his trade in Maryland and Pennsylvania. In 
 the fall of 1 793 or spring of 1 794 he came to Bath and engaged in the 
 service of Williamson. He was the leading contractor and builder, and 
 employed many journeymen. He erected the first framed house in the 
 town. He married, August 20, 1795, Eleanor Bole of Derry, Pa. In 
 1S08, after the death of his wife Eleanor, he married Sarah, daughter of 
 Benjamin Welles. In 1797, on Charles Cameron's resignation, he was 
 elected supervisor of Bath and re-elected many terms. March 25, 1805, 
 he was appointed surrogate of the county, and in the same year post- 
 master at Bath. He took an interest in military affairs and rose to the 
 rank of general of the militia. He volunteered in the war of 1812 and 
 was ordered with his brigade in 181 3 to the frontier, where he performed 
 efficient service. February 12, 1815, he was appointed sheriff of Steu- 
 ben county. " In the years 1823, 1824 and 1827 he was elected to the 
 legislature. He had several sons and daughters, some of whom sur- 
 vived him. 
 
 Finla McClure, his father, came to Bath with his family in 1795 or 
 1796. He had several sons and daughters, including Charles and 
 George, above named. His son, Finla, resided on a farm a mile above 
 Kennedy ville and removed to Illinois over forty years ago. 
 
 William Dunn was said to be a native of York, Pa., and became inti- 
 mately associated with Captain Williamson on his arrival in this coun- 
 try. In 1792 he became a resident of Newtown, and removed to Bath 
 in 1794. For a time he kept a hotel on the southeast corner of Pulte- 
 ney Square, on the site of the Balcom house. On the organization of 
 Steuben county he was appointed its first sheriff. He built the house 
 on Morris street now owned by Miss Wilkes, which he exchanged in

 1803 with Jonathan T. Hayt for property in Elmira, where he removed 
 soon after and opened an inn, which was kept for many years after his 
 death by his widow who married John Davis. It was a noted hostelry. 
 Charles W. Dunn and Judge James Dunn, of Chemung county, were 
 his sons. 
 
 William Read, a Quaker from Rhode Island, came with his brother, 
 Eli, to Bath in 1794, and settled in Pleasant Valley. He was a man of 
 mark in the new settlement, and held many town offices. He was for 
 years a justice of the peace and also one of the county judges. He was 
 the father of the late Capt. James Read, and died in Urbana, April 21, 
 1836, aged seventy-six years. 
 
 Henn- McElwee came to Bath from the north of Ireland in January, 
 1794. He was an athletic and active young man, and did about the first 
 clearing on the village plot and the race grounds for Captain William- 
 son. He purchased a large tract of land on Mud Creek, above Savona, 
 built saw-mills and engaged largely in lumbering and farming. He be- 
 came wealthy. He died at his home, February 5, 185S, aged eighty- 
 eight years. He left a widow and several sons and daughters. Henry 
 McElwee, Jr., his son, occupied the old homestead till his death a few 
 j-ears ago. 
 
 William McElwee, a brother of the above, came to Bath soon after 
 Henry, and settled also on Mud creek and there died. 
 
 Frank Scott, Gustavus and Brown Gillespie, Samuel and John Metier, 
 James and Patrick McKell, all Scotch-Irishmen, were among the first 
 comers. James McKell died in Bath in 1S02. It is said Patrick Mc- 
 Kell, his son, and James McKell, his grandson, afterward emigrated to 
 the West Indies. 
 
 Richard Daniels was the father-in-law of Judge Baker. He was of 
 Dutch origin and came from Columbia county in the wake of his son- 
 in-law, and settled near him in Pleasant Valley in 1794* He is de- 
 scribed as a short, stout man, while his wife was tall and slender. The 
 name of her family was Hoose, and she was a relative of Martin Van 
 Buren. Mr. Daniels died in 18 10. He had no son, Mrs. Baker being 
 his only surviving child. 
 
 William Howe Cuyler, a son of John Cuyler, of Greenbush, N. Y., 
 was born about 1775. He was employed as a clerk by Williamson in 
 the land office at Bath as early as 1794. He was admitted as an attor- 
 ney, and practiced law in Bath for some time. He was a resident of 
 the place as late as 1800, as appears by the town records, but soon after 
 removed to Palmyra, Wayne county, and became the local agent of 
 Captain Williamson at that place. He was a man of much energy and

 county, N. Y., February 22, 1743. He came to Bath to reside with 
 his sons, Samuel and Jonathan — the latter an early lawyer of the 
 county — and died in 1806. He is buried at Avoca. 
 
 Richard Collier was born in Coxsackie on the Hudson, September 
 30, 1760. He came to this town in 181 2, and settled between Kanona 
 and Avoca. He was a carpenter by trade and a brother-in-law of Sam- 
 uel Haight, of the Pulteney land office, through whose influence Mr. 
 Collier settled here. His first wife was Cordelia Hoos, and his second 
 wife was Mary Haight. By the latter he had twelve children. His 
 son John D. was born on the Hudson April 4, 1801 , and came with his 
 father to this town. In i824both removed to the town of Howard, where 
 John D. continued to reside until 1854, when he moved to Hornells- 
 ville, where he resided for fifteen years, then moved to Castile, Wyom- 
 ing county, where he died June 27, 1SS1 . John D Collier was Colonel 
 of the state militia, a magistrate and an active politician — Democrat, 
 Free-soiler, and Republican as soon as that part}- was organized. He 
 married Tabatha, daughter of Ezekiel Rice, of Howard. Of eight chil- 
 dren born to them, two only are living, Tabatha and Richard of Hor- 
 nellsville. The latter married Cordelia Mesick. Two children have 
 been born to them, Flora C. (Mrs. F. C. Hall,), and Jane (Mrs. C. W. 
 Perkins). 
 
 Daniel Kinne came from Connecticut and settled at Pharsalia. Che- 
 nango county, where he remained until 1S1S, when he came to this 
 town and settled on West Hill, a few miles west of Savona. The farm 
 he located on is now owned by James Collier. He brought his effects 
 with an ox team and sled by way of Ithaca, crossing Seneca lake by 
 Goodwin's ferry. The first settler on West Hill was Joseph Long, 
 whose father lived at Wayne. He was followed by a man named 
 Morehouse. 
 
 Constant Cook, the son of Philip and Clarissa (Hatch) Cook, was 
 born in Warren, Herkimer county, N. Y., on November 10, 1797, and 
 there with his father passed the earlier years of his life upon a farm. On 
 Christmas day 18 19, he married Maria Whitney, daughter of Xathan 
 and Hannah Whitney, formerly of Fairfield county, Conn. In April, 
 1820, Mr. Cook removed to Cohocton, in this county, where for a time 
 he engaged in farming; but soon became interested with the late John 
 Magee of Watkins in numerous mail and passenger routes and laid the 
 foundation for the fortunes which these two men subsequently built up. 
 About the year 1840, Mr. Cook was appointed one of the judges of 
 Steuben county, an office which he filled for a term of three years. In 
 1843, Judge Cook removed to Bath, and engaged in commercial pur- 
 suits with Mr. Magee, but their attention was soon drawn to that great 
 work, the construction of the Erie railroad, and in company with others

 took the contract for the building of the road from Binghamton to 
 Corning. Subsequently, with Hon. John Magee, he projected and 
 built the Buffalo, New York and Corning railroad from Corning to Buf- 
 falo by way of Batavia and Attica. Still later he projected the Bloss 
 Coal Company, located at Arnot, near Blossburgh, Pa. During the 
 last twenty years of his life, Judge Cook became widely known for his 
 banking house at Bath, which, early in the war, was converted into a 
 national bank, and soon took rank with the soundest and most success- 
 ful institutions of the kind in the state. About six years previous to his 
 death, he donated thirty thousand dollars toward the erection of a new 
 Episcopal church in the village of Bath, and the result of this generous 
 gift- is now seen in one of the most commodious and beautiful church 
 edifices in the diocese of Western New York. The death of Judge Cook 
 occured on February 24, 1874. Of eight children, three only survived 
 him, Henry H. Cook, of Xew York city, Mrs. L. D. Hodgman and 
 Edwin C. Cook. Mrs. Cook died September 10, 1890. 
 
 Henry Harvey Cook, eldest son of the late Judge Constant Cook of 
 Bath, was born at Cohocton, Steuben county, New York, May, 13th, 
 1822, where his youth was passed and early education obtained. At 
 the age of eighteen he entered the academy at Canandaigua, N. Y., and 
 spent a part of two } r ears in the study of the higher branches of educa- 
 tion, not attainable in the common schools of his native town. Im- 
 mediately thereafter he served a clerkship for one 3 r ear in a mercantile 
 establishment at Auburn, N. Y. , and one year after in the same capacity 
 in Bath, where his parents had removed. In the spring of 1844, he 
 engaged in the mercantile business in Bath, which he successfully pur- 
 sued for ten years. September 27th, 1848, he married Mary, eldest 
 daughter of William W. McCay, Esq., then and for a long time previ- 
 ous, chief agent of the Pulteney and Hornby estates. The principal 
 office for the sale of the lands of those estates was then located in the 
 village of Bath. Five daughters were born to them. In April 1854 
 Mr. Cook, in connection with his father Hon. Constant Cook, organized 
 the Bank of Bath, a state institution of which he was cashier and his 
 father president. It commenced business in a small brick building 
 erected on West Morris street near the Cook residence. It was after- 
 ward removed to the old land office building on the south side of the 
 Pulteney Square. In 1856 k was again removed to the brick building 
 at the corner of Steuben and Liberty streets. In 1864 it was reorganized 
 as the First National Bank of Bath, with Constant Cook as president 
 and Henry H. Cook as cashier. It was one of the few institutions in 
 this part of the state that so largely assisted the government in its days 
 of trial during the rebellion by finding a sale for its bonds in the 
 country around. When his father, Judge Cook, became unable through

 ill health to personally attend to the details of the business, Mr. Henry 
 H. Cook took charge of the banking interests and at the death of his 
 father in 1874, assumed the entire control of the same. The bank was 
 a success from the first and has ever been regarded as one of the 
 soundest institutions in the state. In the autumn of 1875, Mr. Cook 
 removed to the city of New York where there was a wider field for the 
 employment of his large capital accumulated by his own careful invest- . 
 ments, greatly increased by additions thereto from the fortune left him 
 by his father. Baside attending to his own business in New York, 
 Mr. Cook holds many responsihje offices, as director in several banks 
 and savings institutions and railroad corporations. 
 
 Hon. David McMaster was born in Unadilla, Otsego count}', N. Y., 
 April 21, 1804. In 1826 he graduated from Hamilton College, and the 
 same year began the stud}- of law at Norwich, Chenango count}-. In 
 the fall of that year he came to Bath, and continued his legal studies 
 with Hon. William Woods, and was admitted in 1827. His first prac- 
 tice was in Bath in 1827, in partnership with Hon. Henry \V. Rogers, 
 and with the exception of one year at Clyde, Wayne county (182S-29), 
 he practiced continually in Bath until 1S47, a portion of the time in 
 partnership with Ziba A. Iceland and L. H. Read. 
 
 Under the new constitution, in June, 1847, Mr. McMaster was elected 
 county judge and surrogate of Steuben county, which offices he filled 
 in a manner creditable to himself and his constituents. In 1S56 he was 
 re-elected to both offices for a term of four years, and discharged the 
 duties of the same with that care and fidelity charactertistic of him, 
 both as a lawyer and a judge. Few men, either in their professional or 
 official duties, have gained or retained the esteem and confidence of 
 their fellow-citizens in a higher degree than did Judge McMaster. 
 
 He was married February 13, 1828, to Adeline A., daughter of the 
 late Guy Humphreys, of Marcellus, X. Y., who died October 7, 1841. 
 On February 22, 1843, he married, for his second wife, Mary, daughter 
 of the late Hon. George C. Edwards, of Bath. Judge McMaster died 
 May 6, 1888. 
 
 Guy Humphreys McMaster, the son of Judge David and Adaline 
 Humphreys McMaster was born in Clyde, N. Y., January 31, 1829, 
 and came to Bath with his parents a year afterwards, and resided here 
 until his death. He was graduated from Hamilton College in 1S47 at 
 the age of eighteen, in the same class with Senator Joseph R. Hawley, 
 Charles Dudley Wamer and Col. Emmons Clark. Soon after leaving 
 college he began the study of law and was admitted to the bar in 1852. 
 He was at one time a law partner of Col. Charles W. Campbell, was 
 afterwards associated with Clark Bell, and for the last twenty years was 
 the senior member of the firm of McMaster & Parkhurst.

 Iii 1863 he was elected to the office of county judge and surrogate by 
 the Republican party for a term of four years, and in 1867 he was re- 
 elected. In 1877 he was elected for a term of six years, and in 1883, 
 the office of county judge and surrogate having been separated, he was 
 elected surrogate for a term of six years, having been nominated for the 
 office by acclamation. 
 
 As a surrogate he probably never had a superior in this state, for no 
 lawyer could have a more perfect acquaintance with the law and prac- 
 tice pertaining to surrogate's courts, and the duties and liabilities of ad- 
 ministrators, executor and guardians. 
 
 As a Judge, he presided with a dignit}', courtesy and forbearance 
 which won him the admiration of lawyers, litigants, witnesses and 
 jurors, and he frequently interfered to shield a timid witness from un- 
 necessary annoyance at the hands of a cross-questioning law5 r er. His 
 rulings were given with prompness, and soaccuarate was his judgement 
 and so great his knowledge of the law, that during the fourteen years 
 that he was county judge no new trial was ever ordered by the supreme 
 court in any case tried by him. 
 
 As a poet Judge McMaster is destined to immortal fame, for, as long 
 as there is an English language, j-oung and old alike will be stirred and 
 fascinated by the vivid description and the curious rhyme and rhj-thm 
 of ''Carmen Bellicosum." 
 
 He married in 1850, Amanda, daughter of the late Robert W. Church 
 of Bath, by whom he had one son, Humphrey and two daughters, Alice, 
 wife of J. F. Parkhurst and Katharine McMaster. Mrs. McMaster died 
 November 29, 18S3. He died September 1-3, 1887. He was a model 
 husband and father and a most esteemable citizen. He was charitable 
 and considerate towards the poor, and no one in distress ever appealed 
 to him in vain. 
 
 Col. Ira Davenport was born in Spencertown, Columbia county, Sep- 
 tember 20, 1795, and died at Bath, May 2, 1868. At the age of four- 
 teen he engaged as clerk in his father's store and remained until he 
 reached his majority. In 18 15, with a wagon and a load of goods, he 
 traveled from Columbia county to the western part of Steuben county, 
 a distance of three hundred miles, and became the first merchant of 
 Hornellsville. His career as a merchant in Hornellsville embraced a 
 period of thirty -two years, during which he was engaged in all the lead- 
 ing business enterprises of the times. In 1847 he removed to Bath. 
 He began to erect a building designed for a home for destitute female 
 orphan children in 1861. In 1863 the corporation was organized, and 
 the first orphan was received July 1 9 , 1 864 . Col . Davenport conveyed to 
 the Home sixty -five acres of beautiful farming land, near the village of 
 Bath, which, with the massive structure of stone and iron which forms 
 
1 62 TOWN OF BATH. 
 
 the main building, cannot be valued at less than sevent)'-five thousand 
 dollars. He besides, during his life time endowed it with funds to the 
 amount of one hundred thousand dollars, and made a bequest to the 
 Home in his will of fifty thousand dollars more. Col. Davenport mar- 
 ried, in 1824, L} r dia, eldest daughter of the late Hon. Dugald Cameron 
 Col. Davenport's two sons, John and Ira Davenport, succeeded him as 
 the responsible manager of his charities. 
 
 Martin Rumsey Miller was born in the village of Bath, April 24, 
 1848. He is the only son of the Rev. L. Merrill Miller, who at that 
 time supplied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church of that village, and 
 Lydia Rumsey Miller, daughter of David Rumsey an earl}- settler and 
 newspaper publisher of Steuben county I In 1851 Doctor Miller was 
 called to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church of the city of 
 Ogdensburgh, N. Y., where he has since lived with his family. May 
 1 2th, 1 89 1, the fortieth anniversary of his pastorate was celebrated by 
 his church and congregation and an elaborate reception was given to 
 the pastor and his wife. 
 
 M . Rumsey Miller passed his youth in Ogdensburg and pursued his 
 preparatory studies in the high school of that city. In 1864 he entered 
 the freshman class at Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., and was 
 graduated from that institution in 1868. Immediately entering the 
 Albany Law School he pursued the prescribed course and received the 
 degree of L. L. B. in 1869, and the same 3-ear was admitted to the bar. 
 He then went abroad, visiting the Holy Land and all places of interest 
 upon the continent. 
 
 On his return, in 1870, he came to Bath, entered as managing clerk 
 the office of D. & W. Rumsey who were then doing the largest law 
 business in the county. He occupied that position until David Rumsey 
 the senior partner of the firm, in 1873, was appointed one of the justices 
 of the supreme court of the 7th Judicial District. He then entered 
 into partnership with William Rumsey under the firm name of Rumsey 
 & Miller succeeding to the business of the old firm. . 
 
 In November 1880, the senior partner William Rumsey having been 
 elected justice of the supreme court, Mr. Miller formed a new partner- 
 ship with William H. Nichols which still continues under the firm 
 name of Miller & Nichols. That firm has a large and flourishing prac- 
 tice and Mr. Miller stands high in the profession. In November, 
 1888, Mr. Miller was elected Surrogate of the County of Steuben, en- 
 tering upon his duties on the first day of January, 1889. He dis- 
 charges the duties of that onerous office with admirable courtesy and 
 tact, and to the entire satisfaction of those having business before him. 
 In 1876, Mr. Miller married Maria Louise, second daughter of Henry 
 H. Cook, Esq., of New York City, and they now live in the spacious 
 
TOWN OF BATH. 1 63 
 
 and handsome home, which was the birth place of Mrs. Miller. They 
 have four children, Henry Cook, Lena Lydia, Louise and Janet.

 brilliantly illuminated with electric lights. The Home was opened on 
 Christmas day, 1878, when twenty-five disabled veteran soldiers were 
 admitted, since which time there have been four thousand and sixty- 
 six admissions. There are now on the rolls one thousand three hun- 
 dred and six. The principal buildings* of the Home are five three-story- 
 brick barracks, affording comfortable accommodations for one thousand 
 two hundred men , a spacious hospital with a capacity for two hundred 
 patients and attendants, a handsome building for headquarters, a 
 chapel, an amusement hall, a green house, boiler and engine house, 
 bakery, laundry and bath house, and numerous work-shops. There 
 is also a Home store, a pleasant and well supplied reading room, and a 
 library containing five thousand volumes. The Home farm , comprising 
 three hundred and fifty acres of fertile land extending westerly from 
 the valley, furnishes for the use of the Home large quantities of vege- 
 tables and other farm products. The present officers are General Will- 
 iam F. Rogers, Supt.; Maj. S. H. Leavitt, Adj.; Maj. Frank P. Frost, 
 Quartermaster. 
 
 Early Items. — The first school-house erected in the southeastern part 
 of the town was built of logs near the four corners about where the 
 Marshall Stewart house stands. John Wicks was one of the earliest 
 teachers in that section. He made his home with Andrew Smith, 
 grandfather of the late Seneca Smith. Religious meetings were held in 
 this school -house. Among the earliest preachers was "Father" Fish, 
 of Campbelltown. On a beautiful Sunday morning, in the spring of 
 the year, he announced that he should hasten through the sermon in. 
 order to get home to take care of the sap , which he feared would go to> 
 waste if he were not there to attend to it. He usually brought his gun 
 with him, for it frequently occurred that a deer would cross his path, 
 and he must needs have some other weapon than "the sword of the 
 gospel " to procure food for his family in those days. Fifty cents was. 
 the usual marriage fee. In one instance, where the groom had no- 
 money, he presented the dominie with a pig a month old. Parson Hig- 
 gins frequently came from Bath to preach in that vicinity. The first 
 merchant at Savona was A. H. Gates. A hotel consisting of three 
 rooms was located at an early day, where T. Boileau's house now 
 stands and was kept by Elisha McCoy. 
 
 Kanona post hamlet, is located about three miles west of the village 
 of Bath on the D., L. & W. R. R., and is also a station on the Roches-

 hotels, a school, two blacksmith shops, a custom mill, a steam saw and 
 planing-mill, a drug store, hardware store, meat market, two general 
 stores and about seventy-five dwellings. This place-was long known 
 as Kenned 5'ville. 
 
 SoxoRA.a post hamlet, is located on the eastern border of the town of 
 Bath. A daily mail is received by stage, running between Savona and 
 Tyrone. The hamlet contains one church (M. E.), one store, one 
 blacksmith shop and about twenty dwellings. 
 
 BRADFORD, named for Major Robert Bradford, was formed from 
 Jersey — now Orange, Schuyler county — April 20, 1836. A part 
 Was annexed to Orange, April 17, 1854. It lies near the center of 
 the east border of the county of Steuben. It is bounded north by the 
 town of Wayne, east by Schuyler county, south by Campbell, and west 
 by Bath and Urbana. The surface of the town is a hilly upland, bro- 
 ken by the valley of Mud creek. Mud Lake is situated near the east 
 border in Schuyler county; its surface is eleven hundred feet above tide, 
 and the summits of the adjacent hills are several hundred feet above 
 the lake. The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam, better adapted to pas- 
 turage than to tillage, generally; though the rich alluvium and sand of 
 the valley produces excellent crops of corn and wheat. The popula- 
 tion in 1890 was 757. 
 
 Early Items. — In 1793, Frederick Bartles and John Harvey, from New 
 Jersey, located on the outlet of Mud Lake, and the place was known in 
 early days as "Bartles Hollow." Under the patronage of Colonel 
 Williamson, Bartles erected a grist-mill and saw-mill in 1795. While 
 the men were emplo3'ed in erecting this mill, Benjamin Patterson, the 
 hunter, was hired to supply them with wild meat, and was paid two 
 dollars a day and the skins of the animals. In three months he killed 
 nearly one hundred deer and several bears, and his companion, named 
 Brocher, killed nearly as many more. 
 
 Mud creek at this time was a navigable stream, and great expecta- 
 tions were based on the commerce of Mud Lake and its outlet. It was 
 believed that a town of considerable magnitude would eventually spring 
 up where Bartles had established himself. In the speculating season of 
 1796, .the proprietor was offered enormous prices for his hollow, but he 
 declined to part with it. In 1798 Mr. Bartles rafted one hundred thou- 
 sand feet of boards from his mills to Baltimore. In 1800 he ran two 
 arks from the same place. Through the clearing of the forests Mud 
 creek has long since ceased to be a navigable stream, and the produce 
 of this region finds an outlet through other channels. The grist-mill

 built by Frederick Bartles stood on the site of the present Munson mill. 
 Its dimensions were thirty by forty feet. It was destroyed by a flood 
 and another built on the same site, which was burned, as was also the 
 third mill erected there. 
 
 The first birth in the town was that of a daughter of John Harvey in 
 1799. The first marriage was that of Frederick Bartles to his second wife, 
 solemnized by Henry Switzer, justice of the peace, who was the first jus- 
 tice elected by the people. The first justice in the town was Frederick 
 Bartles, appointed. The first inn-keeper was Capt. John N. Hite* who 
 was also the first surve3'or. Henry 'Switzer carried the first mail, and 
 continued mail-carrier for a period of twenty-four years. The first sub- 
 stantial framed house was built b}- John Zimmerman. Frederick Bartles 
 built the first distillery. The first clover seed brought into the town 
 was b3' Henry Switzer, who paid for the same, forty dollars a bushel. 
 The first lawyer was Heman Train. Thomas Sanford sold the first 
 wheat that was raised in the town at one dollar a bushel at Dresden . In 
 1827, wheat sold for fifty cents a bushel, poultry for three cents a pound 
 and maple sugar at the same price. Rattlesnakes were abundant 
 throughout the hollow. Mowers in the meadow of Jesse Munson, 
 wound their legs with hay-bands to keep rattlesnakes from biting them. 
 A Mr. Smith taught the first school in 18 10. Rev. E. Sanford was the 
 first preacher, and Rev. Mr. Lazelle the first settled minister, who lo- 
 cated here in 181 6. The first store was kept bj- Frederick and Charles 
 Bartles, about the year 1800. The first death was that of Mrs. Thomas 
 Rowles in August, 1803. 
 
 Early Settlers. — Frederick Bartles, as before stated, located here in 
 1793. He brought with him a number of wagons and horse-teams, and 
 cut his way from Savona up the creek to the present site of the village 
 of Bradford. He brought a slave with him named Jim, who lies buried 
 at the foot of his master's grave. 
 
 All that territory comprised in the towns of Tyrone, Wayne, Read- 
 ing, Barrington, Starkey and Bradford, was included in the old town- 
 ship of Fredericktown, which name was given in honor of Frederick 
 Bartles. Mr. Bartles was a German. He was an intelligent, generous 
 and hospitable man. 
 
 The mill-pond at Bartles Hollow was very large, covering about one 
 thousand acres of land, and was filled with fish, such as pike, suckers, 
 perch and eels, which we are told, afforded a great deal of sport for the 
 Bath gentlemen in the fishing season. Such parties were entertained by 
 Squire Bartles , free of costs or charges , and in the best style . ' ' We fared 
 
 *It is stated in a former history that Frederick and Charles Bartles kept the first 
 ian in 1806.

 sumptuously, "says General McClure,"and enjoyed the company of the 
 old gentleman. He possessed an inexhaustible fund of pleasant and 
 interesting ancedote. His dialect was a mixture of Dutch and English 
 and was very amusing." Mr. Bartles died in 1819. 
 
 Henr3' Switzer, a German, came from New Jersey with his family 
 and settled here in the year 1800. He was two days coming from Sa- 
 vona to Bradford . He reared a family of twelve children . 
 
 Samuel S. Camp, Abram Rosenberg and Capt. John N. Hite were 
 among the early settlers. Somewhat later came John Hemiup, John 
 Schriner, Ezekiel Sackett and a Mr. Smith. 
 
 Thomas Rowles came from the state of Maryland in 1803 and settled 
 on a farm on the corner about one mile southeast of the village of Brad- 
 ford. Michael Scott also came from Maryland, probably about the 
 same year, and settled the first farm southwest of that settled by Thomas 
 Rowles. Mr. Scott was one of the first blacksmiths in the town. He 
 experienced the life common to the pioneer in an unsettled country, 
 surrounded by wild beasts and Indians. Bears were often seen and on 
 one occasion chased his hogs to his house. 
 
 Daniel Bartholomew left Lancaster county, Pa., for Seneca county, 
 N. Y. When he reached the place where he afterward resided — now 
 occupied by the widow of Silas Bartholomew — in Mud creek valley, his 
 family were taken sick with fever and ague, and he was in consequence 
 compelled to stop. He then erected a rude cabin and commenced clear- 
 ing. He always lived on the same farm and raised a family, of which 
 the following were members : Nancy, Catherine, Jacob and Daniel. 
 The latter served in the war of 1812. Jacob married Catherine, daugh- 
 ter of William Tolbert, an early settler from Pennsylvania. 
 
 Henry Axtell came from near Bingham ton in 1815 and settled first 
 on the James Decker farm. He served in the war of the revolution. 
 
 Asa Tolbert was the first settler and made the first clearing on the 
 farm next south of that settled by Thomas Rowles. He was drowned 
 near Tunkhannock, Pa., while running a raft down the Susquehanna 
 river. 
 
 George Snell located on five hundred acres about three miles south 
 of the village of Bradford, on the brow of Oak hill. He laid out and 
 opened the road that now runs south from the first corner below the vil- 
 lage as far as his settlement. 
 
 Stephen Edwards first settled the Piatt property, and built the first 
 saw-mill on the mill site about two miles west of the village of Brad- 
 ford. He felt the deprivations usual in a new country. Being unable 
 at that time to get any tea, he used in his family as a substitute, hem- 
 lock, and the twigs, after being steeped, accumulated in a large pile 
 near his door.

 village. 
 
 Dr. Franklin M. Lockwood was born in Wilton, Saratoga county, 
 N. Y., November 7, 1824. When four years of age his parents moved 
 into Livingston county. In 1S38 he came to Tyrone, then in Steuben

 CAMERON* was formed from Addison, April 16, 1822. Thurston 
 was set off in 1844, and a part of Rathbone in 1856. It lies a little 
 south of the centre of the county. Its surface is a high, rolling 
 upland, broken by the deep valley of the Canisteo river, which flows 
 southeast through the town, south of its centre. The town was named 
 
 -For much of this sketch we are indebted to S. A. Gardner, of Cameron. 
 
174 TOWN OF CAMERON. 
 
 for Dugald Cameron, an early settler of Bath, and afterward an agent 
 for the Pulteney estate. It is bounded north by Bath, east by Thurston 
 and a part of Rathbone, south by Rathbone and Woodhull, and west by 
 Jasper and Canisteo. The soil is a clayey and gravelly loam, and is 
 fairly productive, yielding good crops of grain and grass. The popu- 
 lation of this town, as shown by the census of 1890, was 1,522. 
 
 The first annual election of the town was held at the house of Samuel 
 Pierson a mile and a half from the village of Cameron, on the road 
 leading to Bath, in February 1823. Owing to the destruction of the 
 old town records it is impossible to obtain a full report of the action of 
 this meeting. At this election Elias Mason was elected supervisor, 
 Moses L. Pierson, town clerk, and James Brownell, constable. At the 
 third annual election commencing November 7, 1825, for presidential 
 electors, forty-nine votes were polled. The town then included Thurs- 
 ton and a part of Rathbone, which as before stated were subsequent! 3- 
 set off from Cameron. 
 
 Settlement. — The first settlement in the town of Cameron was made 
 in the year 1800 by Richard Hadley, also known as "The Second 
 James," and Phones Green. Richard Hadlej- first lived on the Baker 
 place, at the foot of the hill, near the present railroad crossing, and it 
 is said he was driven from that locality by a land-slide, which opened 
 the gap in the hills at that point, where before had been a high wall of 
 unbroken rock; large masses of earth and rock falling into the valley, 
 crushing down trees and closely threatening his cabin . Many high 
 points of soft rock resembling chimneys originally covered the slopes of 
 these hills, and have been gradually disappearing, until but few are left. 
 
 Phones Green lived below Baker's Mill, where the old reformation 
 meetings were held. He was a grand-father of Capt. Luther White. 
 Baker's Mill, a mile below the village of Cameron, was the site of the 
 first saw and grist-mill in the town. Mr. Hadley built the saw-mill and 
 Capt. Samuel Baker.who came to the town in 1816, built the grist-mill, 
 in company with a Mr. Warden, the same year. Mr. Baker was ac- 
 companied by his grandson, James B. Wheeler, then a boy of seven 
 3-ears, who suceeded to the mill and several times rebuiltit. Acarding- 
 mill was also erected then by Amos Caldwell, and for several years was 
 operated by John Place. John Dean came from Massachusetts and lo- 
 cated near the mill soon after Mr. Baker. Isaac Santee settled in the 
 valley a mile from the Canisteo line in 1820. The Halletts, originally 
 from the north of Ireland, were among the early settlers of Canisteo and 
 this town. Nathan 1st, was born in Orange county and settled in 
 Canisteo in 1800. Of his children, John Hallett settled in Cameron very 
 early in the present century, and was proprietor of a log tavern which 
 stood near the bridge, half a mile west of Cameron village. 
 
TOWN OF CAMERON. 1 75 
 
 Nathan Hallett, son of John and Amy (Taylor) Hallett, was born in 
 the western part of this town December 12, 1807. His early years were 
 spent upon his father s farm, and as he grew to manhood he engaged in 
 the occupation of lumbering, then so general, and for forty years fol- 
 lowed the business of manufacturing and shipping lumber. When a 
 young man he engaged to work for ten dollars a month, and the wages 
 of three month's labor was his first capital. He purchased a mill site, 
 constructed a dam with the assistance of his brother, erected a saw-mill 
 which he attended himself, working each day far into the night. His 
 later years have been spent in farming, and, despite his great age, he is 
 bright and active, managing his farm and daily taking part in the work 
 upon it. Mr. Hallett has spent his whole life of over four score years 
 here. 
 
 Silas Wheeler came from Scotland to the town of Wheeler. His son 
 ■Graten H. , settled in the town of Howard and afterward located on the 
 river in the town of Cameron. His son, James B. Wheeler, at the time 
 the family moved into the valley, was seven years of age and resided 
 on the same farm upwards of seventy years. The flats at that time 
 were heavily timbered, the farm his father moved upon having but 
 about five acres cleared. 
 
 Joel Clark emigrated to the town of Cameron in 1822, but afterward 
 moved into the town of Canisteo, where he settled on the Swale, on the 
 Mark Jones farm. He married Sarah Follensbee. Of his children, 
 William L. was born January 21, 1814, and married Sally M., daughter 
 of Amasa Travis of Howard. William L. Clark for some years ran a 
 saw-mill on the Canisteo river in this town, and afterward engaged in 
 farming where his son Joel now lives. He died November 30, 1875. 
 Joel Clark, the present supervisor of the town, married Addie, daughter 
 of Xathan Hallett. 
 
 Amasa Downs came from New Hampshire to Cameron about 1823, 
 where he bu] 1 *- a hotel, which was located on the north side of Main 
 street, opposite the Hallett store. This he conducted until his death, 
 after which his widow continued in the business for several years. 
 
 Maj. James Lawrence was born in Frenchtown, N. H., in 1S01, and 
 came to Cameron Corners in compan3 r with Isaac Jones in 1823. The 
 entire journey from New Hampshire was made on foot with their pos- 
 sessions in knapsacks hung across their shoulders. Mr Lawrence made 
 a clearing at the Corners where he built a log blacksmith shop and a 
 house. His first wife was Mary A. Dickey. After her decease he was 
 united in marriage with her sister, Ruth. His son, Andrew J. Law- 
 rence, is a prominent citizen of this town. 
 
 Captain John White, son of Abel White, was born in Addison, June 
 24, 1804. After four years spent in Dansville he settled in Cameron in

 built a saw-mill there. 
 
 Skelton and Joseph Robinson came from Otsego county about 1830 
 or '31. The former settled where Cornelius Margason lives, and the 
 latter on the place now occupied by W. H. Wheeler. 
 
 Nathaniel Bundy 1st, came from Otsego county to the lake country, 
 and about 1831 settledin this town on the farm now owned by Clark Ellis.

 John H. Quick was born in the town of Rochester, Ulster county, 
 September 1 1 , 1809. Wl^i he was six years of age his father, Jacobus 
 Quick, moved to the town of Caroline, Tompkins county. For several 
 years the subject of this sketch was engaged on the lakes and canals as 
 boatman, and made trips on the Erie canal the first season it was 
 opened, 1825. It was for many years necessary to " pole " the boats 
 from Cayuga Bridge to Montezuma, a distance of seven miles, and from 
 Ithaca to Cayuga Lake, two miles, making the business much harder 
 than in later years. In 1836 he left the canals and settled in Jasper, on 
 the farm now owned by James France. From the old state road he 
 marked trees and made a track to his farm in this town. He made ap- 
 plication to the commissioners to have a road opened from the state 
 road to the county road to pass his place, which was accordingly done

 eron, July 22, 1 84 1. His early years were passed upon his father's 
 farm in this town. With the advantages of an education afforded by 
 the common schools, supplemented by reading and self-instruction, he 
 laid the foundation for the bright and busy mercantile career which was 
 terminated by his untimely death. In 1865 he succeeded to the busi- 
 ness founded by Dr. W. R. Crocker, upon which he enlarged, carrying 
 on, beside a general mercantile business, extensive dealings in cattle 
 and produce of every kind. The influence of his unusual enterprise

 and business ability was felt for miles around, and the years of his com- 
 mercial life marked a new era in the history of Cameron Corners. 
 There was nothing that a farmer could produce that he could not find a 
 market for at Mr. Hallett's. He was one of the largest shippers of 
 country produce on the line of the Erie railroad. Aside from the de- 
 velopment of his commercial interests he did much to improve the vil- 
 lage by the erection of various buildings, and in beautifying his own 
 house and grounds. In July, 1864, he marXed Fanny D., daughter of 
 Dr. Wickham R. Crocker. Mr. Ha^ett died October 20, 1888. 
 
 John E- Dickey was born in Cameron April 24, 1841. He was edu- 
 cated in the common schools and at Eastman's Commercial College at 
 Poughkeepsie. After leaving school Mr. Dickey engaged in railroading, 
 which occupation, in one capacity and another, he has since followed. 
 For nearly a year he was employed as baggage-master, was operator for 
 five years, and station agent at Cameron until May 15, 1889, when he 
 moved to Canisteo to fill the same position at that point. For two 
 years he represented the town of Cameron in the board of supervisors, 
 and resigned the office when he accepted his present position at Can- 
 isteo. He is a grandson of the late Matthew Dickey, one of the pioneer 
 settlers of the town. 
 
 Peter Sanford was born in Vermont and came to Cameron in 1842 
 and made a settlement in the (then) wilderness, where W. Allen now 
 lives, not far from the Woodhull town line. 
 
 Simeon Knapp came from Cattaraugus county and settled first in 
 Addison on a farm on the Goodhue. He came to this town at an early 
 day and settled where his son George now resides. His wife was Car- 
 oline, daughter of Robert Balcom from Chenango county. 
 
 Sanford A. Gardner was born in the town of Wayne, February 6, 
 1 83 1 . He is the son of Alfred Gardner, who was the son of L}'on Gardner 
 6th. Mr. Gardner traces his lineage in this country to the beginning of 
 the seventeenth century, when Lyon Gardner, the first, built the first 
 fort on Boston Harbor, and who afterward removed to the island of 
 Nantichoke, which he purchased from the Indians and is now known 
 as Gardner's Island. Lyon Gardner the sixth came to the town of 
 Wayne not far from the year 1800. Sanford A. Gardner came to this 
 town in February, 1844, with his step-father, John F. Knapp and has 
 since resided here. In former years he was engaged in lumbering and 
 farming, but now almost exclusively in farming. He has held the office 
 of deputy sheriff, supervisor, justice of the peace, etc. He married 
 Marietta A. Hinds. 
 
 The only residents in the town west of Cameron Corners in 1824 were 
 John Hallett, Isaac Santee, Joseph Butler and Michael Loughry, and

TOWN OF CAMERON. l8l 
 
 farm, and James Brownell, a constable, also lived there. John F. 
 French had a custom tanner y on the creek near the Methodist parson- 
 age. The marriage of John French to Almira, daughter of Matthew 
 Dickey is the first marriage we have any record of. 
 
 Among the first settlers in the north part of the town was Elias Ma- 
 son, who came from Madison county, N. Y., in 1815, and located on 
 the farm now known as the C. W. Mason farm. At that time there 
 was no inhabitant between Cameron Corners and the church lot, a mile 
 and a half east. Elias Mason was postmaster at North Cameron for 
 thirty years. Andrew Bates, from Chenango county, came about 1826. 
 John Shaw settled a mile north toward the gulf, where Leonard Porter 
 kept a tavern on the road from Cameron to Bath. Timothy Carpenter 
 came from Yates county, and settled on the Uriah Carpenter farm, near 
 the Thurston line, in 1825. Joseph Plaisted, from Rhode Island, set- 
 tled a mile south, and N. Rouse farther west. Mr. Rouse is well re- 
 membered by the old settlers as the popular " fiddler " of his day. 
 
 Hiram Averill, a leading man of the town, and for many years a 
 magistrate, was an early settler in the north part of Cameron, on the 
 high land which is known ka Averill Hill. His son, William W. Av- 
 erill, a graduate of West Point, early distinguished himself as a soldier, 
 fighting the Kalamath Indians in the northwest, where he was wound- 
 ed. At the outbreak of the rebellion he entered into active service, and 
 distinguished himself as a brilliant cavalry officer, obtaining a brigadier- 
 general's commission before the close of the war. 
 
 Samuel Watrous and Barnabas Robinson were early settlers in North 
 Cameron. 
 
 On entering the town from Bath, Porter Smith was the first inhabi- 
 tant in 1844. None of his family remain here, and the farm is owned 
 by the estate of O. J. Mason. Next was the farm of Elias Mason, then 
 the place occupied by John Hedges. Andrew and Jacob Merrill once 
 lived on the two farms east of the Mason farm. East of the main road 
 from Bath to Knoxville, Pa., in the ravine known as the "gulf," lived 
 Jacob Yost, who kept the "log tavern." On the opposite side of the 
 road lived George Pierson, on the S. W. Merrill farm. On the ascent 
 of the hill, in a small house, lived Abratn Yost, who afterward moved 
 to Bath and kept a hotel for a number of years. West of the main road, 
 on the G. W. Bundy, Jr., farm, lived Samuel Pierson, father of George 
 and grandfather of Hon. L. C. Pierson, and a man named Burns and 
 bis son, James. On the farm owned by the estate of Thomas Bailey 
 lived H. Knickerbocker, now of Thurston. East of the main road 
 lived William Merrill and Mr. Gregory. Gregory, who lived on the 
 Ce)don Smith place, fell from a load of hay and was killed in the winter 
 of 1843-44. The A. J. Annabel place was occupied by Andrew Sears 
 
1 82 TOWN OF CAMERON. 
 
 who went west a few years later. George Gustin lived on the Ca- 
 leb Annabel place. Daniel Barber lived east of the road on the Almon 
 Waters farm, and Mr. Flynn lived on the Peter Rumsey farm. Flynn's 
 wife was a daughter of Major Allen, of the war of 1812. On the Mrs. 
 C. Young farm lived the widow of Jacob Thayer. On the same road, 
 leading to the river by way of the "shingle school-house, "on the W.W. 
 Barritt place, lived Harlow Sears. West of this farm lived H. Quick,, 
 now of Painted Post. Clark Ellis lived on the Albert Crandall farm. 
 In Februar}-, 1844, John F. Knapp settled on a farm now belonging to 
 the estate of his widow, where his youngest daughter, Mrs. James Er- 
 win now lives. East of the road lived James H. Royce. Oren Nor- 
 thrup lived where Daniel Osborn now lives, next to which was the 
 Hazard property of four hundred and fifty-six acres, with John D. Yost 
 and Walter Bennett as tenants. This tract is now occupied by Jacob 
 Walton. D. G. McClure, who came in 1845, and S. Aldrich each 
 owned one hundred acres of land. West of the main road lived Francis 
 Crandall, who died in February, 1888. 
 
 South, at the four corners, stood the " shingle school house. " Susan 
 Aldrich, afterward Mrs. Jerome B. Hunt, was the first teacher here. 
 The building has been moved about forty rods east and converted into 
 a shop and wagon-house by S. A. Gardner. Hiram R. Hawlej* was an 
 early settler on the east road. Mr. Hawley was killed at a " raising "' 
 by the fall of a bent. Stephen Aldrich lived on the farm still owned 
 by him. Anthony Bennett lived in a small log shanty on the farm of 
 William Havens. Nelson Hawley had a saw-mill on part of the A. L. 
 Rumsey farm. Mr. Hawley was a noted character in his day, going 
 bare-foot most of the year. He was famous for climbing, and remov- 
 ing honey from the tallest pines and most hazardous places. The only 
 representative of John White who lived south of the school-house, are 
 two daughters, Mrs. James Hall and Mrs. Osborn, now ofCanisteo. 
 John H. Judd lived on the farm now occupied by his son S. L. Judd. 
 With the exception of one small clearing, the remainder of the way to 
 the river was an unbroken wilderness. On the road running west from 
 the "shingle school-house " lived Henry Lot, who went west in 1846 
 or '47. Ray Osborn came here from Barrington, Yates county, in 1848. 
 George Cameron lived on the S. A. Gardner farm, next was D. H. 
 Hinds, now of Eodi, Wis., and Greenwood Semans who moved to 
 Virginia in 1861 ; next lived O. W. Hinds, now of Bath. On the 
 road leading from Bath, on the T. W. Barber farm, lived David Thayer 
 ("Uncle Dave") a noted character in his day, and whose sayings 
 are still repeated. On one occasion " Uncle Dave " was an important 
 witness in a law-suit. The counsel taking him aside, instructed him 
 what he was expected to swear to. His testimony did not satisfy the 
 
TOWN OF CAMERON. 1 83 
 
 counsel who took him aside again. His statements under oath being 
 still below the required point, the counsel once more instructed him 
 
 what to swear to. " Uncle Dave " replied, " let the suit go to h , 
 
 I have sworn tremendous already." 
 
 Of other earl 5- settlers we may mention Joseph Butler, Andrew and 
 Joseph Loughry, who very early ran a saw-mill on the river ; Matthew 
 Dickey, from Xew Hampshire, who settled first on the flat and later 
 took up a farm on the hill, — a brother-in-law of Amasa Downs — and 
 David Ames, who settled at West Cameron in 1825. Joel Fairbanks, 
 a carpenter, came here in 1822, and built the first framed house in the 
 village, which is still standing, owned by L- Williamson. L. C. Pear- 
 son's barn was built in 1823. The middle portion of John Scribners 
 house, which stands on Bath street, was built as early as 1830. James 
 Jones from Pennsylvania, lived for a time in Addison, came here at an 
 early day, built a hotel on the site of the Stevens House. Shortly after 
 his horses ran away with him, and he was thrown out. His head coming 
 in contac': with a pine knot, he survived the accident but a short time. 
 His widow, Sally Jones, carried on the hotel for many years. William 
 Stevens built a carding and grist-mill near the site of the Baker mills at 
 an early day. David Oyser, a wagon-maker, built a large shop here. 
 Philip Briggs, Seneca Watson and Horatio Babb were early settlers. 
 James Lloyd kept a hotel here many years ago. He afterward moved 
 to Pike, W3'oming county, where he made a large fortune in patent 
 medicines. Jonathan Ketcham kept a hotel. Amos McKenzie, a shoe- 
 maker, came herefrom Penn Yan in 1848. Many of his descendants 
 still reside here. 
 
 As late as 1804, Indians were scattered along the valley, their tem- 
 porary camps occupying the sunny knolls along the north bank of 
 the river. On these knolls they raised the little store of corn , which 
 was carefulty gathered for winter use, braided together by the husks, 
 and buried in hills raised above the surface of the ground. For some 
 years the Indians were more numerous than the white settlers. 
 
 Milling trips were excursions of pleasure down the river, in which 
 several joined, taking their bags of grain and their rifles in a canoe, and 
 watching through the night for deer which came to the river to drink. 
 Lumbering was the principal industry. Among the leading lumbermen 
 of earlier years were Capt. Luther White — who ran as many as forty 
 rafts of from 50,000 to 60,000 feet each in a season — and James H. 
 Miles and Capt. James Young. 
 
 In 1823 the first school was held in a log house half a mile west of 
 Cameron, and in a log house half a mile east of Wheeler's bridge. Half 
 the term was taught in one place and the remainder in the other. The 
 highway at that time ran nearer the river, and the latter house stood 
 
184 TOWN OF CAMERON. 
 
 below where the railroad now runs, on land owned by Hiram S. Goff. 
 Miles Taylor from Massachusetts is the first teacher we have any knowl- 
 edge of. In 1834, a little school house stood in a lane about where 
 James Ordway's barn now stands. Here the early religious meetings 
 were held. 
 
 The county road as first laid out, led down through depot street at 
 the foot of which it crossed the river and bore to the right for a short 
 distance and then over the mountain. This portion of the road was 
 abandoned on account of the steep grade, as long ago as 1830, and the 
 later road turned east and followed past the Flavel French place. 
 
 Merchants. — The first store at Cameron was kept by Andrew Erwin, 
 an Irishman; who was also supervisor at one time. Martin Rumsey was 
 also a merchant at the Corners; also Ebenezer Van Tuyl, John Cherry, 
 S. M. Rogers, Herman F. Swift, the latter for several years a peddler 
 through the country prior to entering into business here. His store 
 stood near the Stevens House barn. We give the names of other mer- 
 chants but perhaps not in the order in which they located here. Mor- 
 gan & McKay, Peter Chase, Swarthout & Pierson, John and Lucius 
 Pierson, George Crandall, John Rowley, Theodore Barber, Dr. Crocker, 
 Addison and Jerry E. B. Santee, Elias and Alonzo Owens, William

 Churches. — The first church organization in this town was of the Pres- 
 byterian persuasion,— Lockwood, pastor. James Lawrence and Chaun- 
 cey P. Hubbard, deacons. The society built a meeting-house about a 
 quarter of a mile below the Corners, but later sold it to the Baptist so- 
 ciety who removed it to North Hill, where it now stands near the resi- 
 dence of Byron French. 
 
 The Baptist Ckurch of Cameron was organized June 12, 1844. Rev. 
 Moses Rowley was an early missionary preacher. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church. — The first Methodist class formed was in 
 1848, J. B. Chase, leader. Rev. Abner Chase preached here as a mis- 
 sionary and held the first religious meetings in the town. This society 
 and one in the town of Rathbone — that at Cameron Mills — are under 
 one charge. Beside the two village churches there is one at South 
 Hill and one at West Cameron where services are regularh- held, and 
 occasional services are held in the Christian church north of Cameron 
 Mills near the Thurston town line. 
 
 Christian Church.— The first meetings of this denomination, in the 
 town of Cameron, were held in the old log school-house, on the Rowe 
 farm, by Rev. John Stocking, who held revival meetings, there in the 
 winter of 1831-32, and was assisted by the Rev. Gideon Hendricks. 
 This society holds occasional services in the Baptist church, on 
 road 8.

 (M. E-), a school, two general stores, a drug store, one hardware store, 
 two hotels, two blacksmith shops, a wagon shop, a grist-mill situated 
 a little below the village, one furniture and undertaking house, and 
 about forty dwellings. It is an important shipping point for hay and 
 other produce. 
 
 North Cameron post office is located in the northeast part of the 
 town on the road to Bath.

 Manufactures. 
 
 Cameron Flour, Feed and Custom Mill was built by Brason Wheeler, 
 and is situated about half a mile below the village of Cameron on the 
 Canisteo river. It is run by water-power, and is furnished with three 
 runs of stone and the most improved machinery for grinding buck- 
 wheat. It is under the management of Robert S. Chisholm, an able 
 and experienced miller. 
 
 Joseph S. Boyd's Saw and Feed Mill is located in the southwest part 
 of the town. It was built by the present proprietor in 1884. It was 
 formerly a water-power mill, but now has an engine of fifteen horse- 
 power. The capacity for sawing is about 3,000 feet a day. The mill 
 occupies the site of one built by Chauncey P. Hubbard in 1832 or '33. 
 That mill was afterward renovated by John Quick, who succeeded Mr. 
 Hubbard in the lumber business at that point. 
 
 Adamson's Steam Saw-Mill was built by the present proprietor, John 
 Adamson, in February, 1888, and is located on road 20, about three 
 miles north of Cameron Mills. Jt has a forty horse-power engine and 
 an eighty horse-power boiler. The mill's capacity for sawing is about 
 16,000 feet a day. It is also furnished with a lath machine, and em- 
 ploys six hands. 
 
 CAMPBELL was formed from Hornby, April 15, 1831, and was 
 named in honor of Rev. Robert Campbell, an early proprietor. 
 It is an interior town, lying southwest of the centre of the county, 
 bounded north by a portion of Bath and the town of Bradford, east by 
 Hornby, south by Erwin and a part of Addison, and west by Thurston. 
 Its surface consists of high, broken ridges, separated by the valleys of 
 the streams. The declivities of the hills are generally steep, and their 
 summits from three hundred to five hundred feet above the valleys. 
 The Conhocton river flows southeast through the town, and its tribu- 
 taries within the borders of the town are Wolf Run, McNutt Run, 
 Mead's Creek, Dry Run and Stephens and Michigan — or Otter — creeks. 
 The river valley is about a mile in width, and its soil is a rich alluvium. 
 Upon the hills the soil is a clayey and gravelly loam, fairly productive. 
 The first conveyance in this town — No. 3, Range 2 — was made by 
 Oliver Phelps to Prince Bryant, of Pennsylvania, in a deed bearing date 
 of September 5, 1789. Mr. Phelps then resided in Massachusetts, 
 though he had established a land office at Canandaigua. This deed, 
 conveying the whole township for a consideration of ,£1000, New York 
 currency, was conditional upon the acceptance of the terms by Nathan- 
 iel Gorham. Prince Bryant conveyed the township to Elijah Babcock, 
 October 2, 1789. Elijah Babcock sold seven thousand, six hundred

 and eighty acres to Roger Clark, November 22, 1798, and various par- 
 cels at other times to Samuel Tooker, David Holmes and William Bab- 
 cock. The title of a large portion of the township afterward reverted 
 to Oliver Phelps, who sold to Joshua Hathaway, Zalmon Tousey, Rob- 
 ert Campbell and Gideon Granger. Joshua Hathaway bought of Oli- 
 ver Phelps two thousand and thirty -seven acres, paying therefore 
 $5,092.52. This deed bears date of October 2, 1801. Robert Camp- 
 bell purchased half of the township, November 21, 1801. The deed of 
 Mr. Phelps to Zalmon Tousey for one thousand, one hundred and thirty- 
 two acres, is dated December 2, 1801. 
 
 The pioneers of this town were Joseph Wolcott, who, with his fami- 
 ly, occupied a cabin on Wolf Run near the residence of the late J. D. 
 Hamilton ; Elias Williams, a blacksmith who lived at Mead's Creek ; 
 Samuel Calkins, who built his cabin on the river below the present 
 hamlet of Curtis, and David McNutt, who lived with his family in a 
 little log house on McNutt Run. These were all the families living 
 within the six miles square when Robert Campbell and family came 
 here in 1803. Abram and Isaac Thomas, hunters, had built a cabin on 
 Mead's Creek, but probably were not occupying it at this time. It was 
 apparently abandoned when the settlers came into that part of the town. 
 
 The names of James Pearsall and Sailor appear as earl}' settlers in 
 
 Guy H. McMaster's History of Steuben. 
 
 Of Zalmon Tousey and family, it is said, "they were quite marked 
 among the surrounding population for literary taste and intellectual 
 culture. ' ' Robert Bonham and Samuel Cook early located in the south- 
 ern part of the town. 
 
 Rev. Robert Campbell, primarily from Newtown, Conn., was born 
 May 3, 1741, came from Stillwater, Saratoga county, N. Y., and set- 
 tled in this town, as before stated, in 1803. We have shown that two 
 years previous to his settlement he had purchased half the township. 
 However, he subsequently lost heavily, owing to a defect in his title. 
 He located about one mile below the village, where he continued to live 
 until his death. He married Esther Pierce, and thirteen children were 
 born to them. Their son Bradford, who died in 1805, was the first 
 buried in the Campbell burying ground. The marriage of Rachel 
 Campbell, daughter of Rev. Robert Campbell, and Asa Milliken, was 
 probably the first solemnized in the town. 
 
 Capt. Solomon Campbell, an officer in the revolutionary war, emi- 
 grated to this town from Stillwater with his uncle, Robert Campbell. 
 Archie Campbell, also a nephew of Robert Campbell, born on Long 
 Island, came here in the winter of 180 1-2. He took up land and en- 
 gaged in lumbering, and, in company with Gen. John Knox, built the 
 first grist-mill, in 1 8 1 2 . It stood across the race from the present mill

 of Bemis & McKay. Archie Campbell married Sarah Pearsall, who 
 was born at Fishkill, N. Y. Their son, Bradford, was the first white 
 child born in the town. 
 
 Joseph Stevens Sr. and his son, Joseph came to this town from San- 
 gerfield, Oneida county, N.Y., in 1805, bought land and became prom- 
 inent and influencial men. The father served in the revolutionary 
 war. 
 
 David Holmes and his brother William were the original owners of 
 lands on Mead's creek in the eastern part of the town. They traded 
 their wild lands here with the first settlers for farms in the state of Ver- 
 mont. The offer to exchange in this way induced quite a colony to 
 emigrate here and settle in that part of the town in 1816. The original 
 colonists were Jonas and Jacob Woodward, Hinsdale Hammond and 
 Stephen Corbin from Windham county, Vt. When the colonists came 
 here there was a little patch of land which had been cleared by Cyrus 
 Ames, the hunter, and on which a log cabin was built that served as a 
 common stopping-place for the settlers until they built cabins for them- 
 selves. This was the place on which Jonas Woodward settled. All 
 the rest of the valley of Mead's creek was an unbroken wilderness. 
 
 In the year 1817, Samson Bixby and his son Amasa settled in the 
 edge of what is now Hornby. Seth Hammond settled on the Mead's 
 creek road on the I. F. Dibble place. Jonas Woodward settled on the 
 Harmon Stevens place, on Mead's creek, and Jacob Woodward on the 
 Anthony Brown place. He built here his first log house in 1817, about 
 ten years later he settled on the first farm over the Hornby town line, 
 where he resided about twenty years. Subsequently he exchanged his 
 farm for a place on Dry Run. 
 
 Selah Hammond came from Vermont about 18 16 and settled on the 
 farm now occupied by F. Dibble, where he built a saw-mill on Mead's 
 creek. His wife was Abigail Remington. 
 
 Samuel Besly was born in Ellenville, Ulster county, X. Y.. June 
 28, 1782. His father Oliver Besley,a Huguenot refugee, was born Sep- 
 tember 22, 1 74 1 . The latter was a sea captain and retired from the sea 
 in New York where he arrived with about $40,000. There he fell into 
 the hands of land-sharks who persuaded him into investing heavily in 
 land in Ulster county which proved to be almost worthless. His wife 
 was Elletheer Cheesman, born February 14, 1750. Their daughter Sus- 
 anna, born June 11, 1792, came with Samuel Besly to this town, and 
 remained a maiden until late in life. She died October 22, 1878. 
 
 Mary, wife of Samuel Besly was born June 7, 1784. Their children 
 were L,ucy, born November 19, 1803: Mary A.. January 29, 1806; 
 Ruby, January 5, 1808; Walter H., July 29, 1812: William, November 
 16, 1814; Susannah, January 6, 1818; Jane E., December 16,1819, an( i

 George, who died in infanc)', born January 6, 1822. Samuel Besly for 
 many years kept a hotel or stage house on the river road where Mr. 
 Vine now lives, and was an early post-master here. He was an active, 
 public spirited man and donated a lot for a cemetery and for the erec- 
 tion of a church. His sister, Susanna, was among the earliest members 
 of the church, and was active in its establishment. 
 
 Reuben W. Millard was born in Stillwater, Saratoga county, and set- 
 tled in the town of Campbell in 1S09, on the Briggs farm adjacent to 
 the old town lines of Bath, Campbell, and Cameron, which is now in 
 Thurston. He married Sarah, daughter of John Hooker, the latter also 
 an earl}- settler. The eldest of their children is Josiah D., Millard of 
 Adrian. Reuben Millard died in the town of Canisteo in 1876. 
 
 Capt. John P. Knox, son of Judge Knox, was born in Knoxville, 
 near Corning, July 5, 1800, and died at his home in Campbell, Sep- 
 tember, 1870. His boyhood was spent at home upon his father's, 
 farm and during winters he was engaged in lumbering. Captain Knox 
 settled in Campbell about 1840, and was engaged in the lumber bus- 
 iness and was the owner of a large tract of land. He married Mary 
 G. Patterson, of Milton, Northumberland county, Pa. He was a man 
 who was guidid by the principles of right, and was highly esteemed by 
 all who knew him. 
 
 John D. Hamilton was born in Lansing, Tompkins county, N. Y., 
 November 17, 1828. He was reared to industry, and early formed 
 those business habits which characterized him through life. He early 
 engaged at work upon a farm, and also learned the shoemakers' trade. 
 Before his majority he had made several trips down the Susquehanna, 
 as a raftsman, and acted as pilot during one trip. When he became 
 of age he commenced business for himself in Campbell. In partnership 
 with J. G. Curtis and S. B. Howell he built a tannery in 1854, and the 
 firm also conducted a general merchandise store. In 1857 he built the 
 Campbell tannery which he conducted till 1890, when the business at 
 this point was abandoned. He also, in company with others, built a 
 very extensive tannery at Emporium, Pa. He married Harriet D. 
 Lovell, of Chemung county. Mr. Hamilton was one of the most suc- 
 cessful business men of Steuben county, and in all his business rela- 
 tions was ever actuated by a strict regard for truth and honor. 
 
 Daniel B. Curtis, eldest son of John and Lucy Curtis, was born in 
 Newtown, Conn., March 30, 1826. His father owning and carrying on 
 the business of a tannery, the son remained with him until his death, 
 which occurred in 1845. He then conducted the business alone until 
 1849, when he sold out and went to California by way of the Isthmus 
 of Panama, being forty days on the way. Here he engaged in pros- 
 pecting and mining, and as a general produce merchant, shipping goods

 by pack mules into the mining districts. In the spring of 1857 ne set " 
 tied at Curtis, in this town, having purchased a half interest in a tan- 
 nery. After two years he sold out, and purchased of his uncle, 
 Daniel Curtis, after whom Curtis station was named, a saw mill and 
 the farm on which his widow now lives. The farm contains about 
 four hundred acres. He married Mary A., daughter of Lucius H. 
 Brown, of Cohocton, May 6, 1863. Three children, are Jennie, born 
 March 2, 1864, died July 10, 1867 ; John S., born August 9, 1865 ; 
 George, of Los Angeles, Cal., born October 8, 1866; Uri Balcom, of 
 Chicago, 111., born April 6, 1809; and Mary, born January 6, 1S82. 
 Mr. Curtiss died August 6, 1883. 
 
 Joel Hubbard was born in Goshen, Mass., May 12, 1802, and after a 
 residence of some 3 r ears in Otsego count} 7 , came to this town in 1848, 
 and settled on the farm which he now occupies. His first wife was 
 Elizabeth Tucker of Laurens, Otsego count}-. 
 
 Orlando Comstock was born in Connecticut and came to the town of 
 Wayne when a young man . He married Clarissa Wixson . Their son 
 Albert Comstock came to this town about 1849. He has been overseer 
 of the poor, and is now serving his eleventh year as assessor. 
 
 Clark Bassett was born in Connecticut in 1810, and after a residence 
 in Delaware county moved to the state of Virginia, thence to this town 
 in 1853, where he settled on the farm now owned by his widow. He 
 married Mary M. Hanford. Their children were Samuel C, Benjamin 
 C, James W., Mar}- C, Matilda C, George S. and Emma N. Ben- 
 jamin C. was born in Bedford, Va., August 24, 1846, and came to this 
 town with his parents when seven years of age. He received his edu- 
 cation in the common schools and in the business college at Elmira. 
 For ten years he was engaged in stock raising in the west. He re- 
 turned and engaged in business at Painted Post. His first wife was 
 Alsatia Hitchcock, and his present wife Helen M. Lambert. 
 
 Campbell village lies on the Conhocton river, and is a station on 
 the Rochester division of the Erie road and also the D. L. & W rail- 
 road. 
 
 Curtis post hamlet is a station on the Erie and the D. L. & W. 
 R. R., nearly two miles east of the village of Campbell. About 1835, 
 Col. Balcom, father of Uri Balcom, built a saw-mill on the Conhocton 
 at this point. A post-office was established here in 1S75. The tannery 
 of J. D. Hamilton & Co. is located here. 
 
 The Bank of Campbell is the only banking institution in the town. It 
 began business in July, 1877, and has kept pace in enterprise with the 
 development of the town. Its first officers were George R. Sutherland, 
 president, and W. S. Clark, cashier. Mr. Sutherland is still at the 
 head of the institution, with Charles R. Woodward cashier.

 P. P. Myhers' Hay- Pressing and Produce Warehouses were established 
 here in 1885. This business may be numbered among the most impor- 
 tant business industries of the town. Produce amounting to $35,000, 
 and upwards is annually brought to this point, which but for the estab- 
 lishment of this business here would find an outlet elsewhere. Mr. 
 Myhers has a hay press and warehouse at Savona also. 
 
 Manufactures . 
 Curtis Tannery was built in 1854 by Howell, Curtis & Co., and was 
 run until 1858, when it was destroyed by fire. It was then rebuilt by 
 Curtis Brothers, who subsequently sold to the firm of Allen Brothers. 
 It -vas again burned and rebuilt in 1869. The present firm, J. D. 
 Hamilton & Co. came in possession by lease in December, 1887. They 
 employ seventeen men, and the tanner}- has a capacity of about one 
 hundred sides a day. This firm has a tannery at Emporium, Pa., and 
 an extensive leather warehouse and store at 51 High street, Boston, 
 Mass. 
 
 Campbell Custom Mill was built by C. H. Bemis about i860. The 
 present owners are Bemis & McKay. The mill has three runs of stones 
 and does a large custom business. It is located on the Conhocton 
 river and is run by water power. 
 
 R. P. Knox's Steam Sato, Planing and Shingle Mill is located on 
 Clinton street, and was built about 1884. Ten men are employed, and 
 the sawing capacity is about 10,000 feet in ten hours. 
 
 Churches. 
 The First Presbyterian Congregation or society of Campbell and Mud 
 Creek was organized January 20, 18 12. The first regular Presbj-terian 
 preaching began at Campbell in 1830, with Rev. Benjamin B. Smith 
 as stated supply. Mr. Smith also taught school during the winter 
 months. The church was organized February 14, 1831. It was con- 
 stituted of seven members, most of whom were received by letter. The 
 church edifice was erected in 1833, at a cost of $850, and dedicated 
 November 5th, the same year. The present church building was dedi- 
 cated February 4, 1868. The membership now is about one hundred 
 and thirty, and the value of church property-, including parsonage, 
 §10,000. 
 
 Campbell M. E. Church— Vast Methodist people of this locality 
 organized in some form as early as 1827 or 1828. From this period 
 services were held with more or less regularity in the school-house, and 
 different ministers, circuit preachers and visiting clergymen officiated 
 from time to time. In 1869 the society purchased the old Presbyterian 
 church and remodelled and refitted it into a neat and commodious 
 house of worship. It was dedicated January 21, 1869. Present mem-

 Schools. 
 
 The first school in the Mead's Creek settlement was taught in the 
 hunters' cabin, before referred to, in 18 17, Miss Rhoda Simmons, 
 teacher. Betsey, wife of Joseph Woodward, and Mrs. Davis, sister of 
 Mr. Woodward, were among the early teachers. The first school-house 
 proper was built of logs on the David Cook farm. 
 
 The Union Free School of Campbell, is graded as primary, inter- 
 mediate, junior and senior departments. The building is of wood, built 
 after the most approved plans of modern school architecture. 
 
 The population of the town of Campbell, according to the census of 
 1890, was 1,522. 
 
 GANISTEO lies southwest of the center of the county, and is one of the 
 original towns of Steuben, having been formed in March, 1796. As 
 originally surveyed it was known as Township 3, Range 5, of the 
 Phelps & Gorham purchase, an account of the first purchase of which is 
 given in the history of the town of Hornellsville, which was originally a 
 part of Canisteo. In 1808 a portion of the town was annexed to 
 Troupsburgh, Hornellsville was taken off in 1820, and parts of Jasper 
 and Greenwood in 1827. Another portion was annexed to Troupsburgh 
 in 1818. It is bounded north by Howard and a small portion of Hor- 
 nellsville, east by Cameron, south by Jasper and a small part of Green- 
 wood, and west by Hornellsville and Hartsville. Its surface is princi- 
 pally a hilly upland, broken by the deep valleys of the streams. Can- 
 isteo river flows eastward through the north part of the town in a val- 
 ley of half a mile to a mile in width, surrounded by hills from four 
 hundred to four hundred and fifty feet in height. Bennett's and Col. 
 Bill's creeks flow from the south through deep, narrow valleys, bordered 
 by steep hillsides, and empty in the river below Canisteo village. 
 The soil is a clayey and gravelly loam, with rich alluvium in the 
 valleys of the streams. 
 
 First Settlement. — The valley of the Canisteo was among the earliest 
 settled portions of the county. Early in 178S, Solomon Bennett, Cap- 
 tain John Jamison, Uriah Stephens, Benjamin Crosby and son Richard 
 from the Wyoming valley in Pennsylvania, started on an exploring ex- 
 pedition up the western tributaries of the Susquehanna. They passed 
 up the Chemung, and at Painted Post* the company divided, a portion

 going up the Conhocton as far as the site of the present village of Bath, 
 while others continued their way up the Canisteo. Finding no suitable 
 place for settlement on the Conhocton, the party which followed that 
 stream crossed the hills * and came onto the Canisteo near the present 
 residence of Joshua C. Stephens and there joined their companions. 
 
 These explorers determined to become the possessors of the two town- 
 ships on the river, which included these flats. They were joined in the 
 purchase by the following : Col. Arthur Erwin, Joel Thomas, Uriah 
 Stephens, Sr., and his son, John Stephens, William Wyncoop, James 
 Hadley, Elisha Brown and Christian Kress. 
 
 In the summer of 1789, a number of men were sent to the flats to cut 
 and stack a sufficient quantity of wild grass to winter the cattle that 
 were to be driven on. In the fall of the same year, Uriah Stephens,Sr. , 
 and Benjamin Crosby, with portions of their families, came from New- 
 town to commence a settlement. The provisions, baggage and families 
 were carried up in seven-ton boats, while four sons of Mr. Stephens, 
 Elias, Elijah, Benjamin and William drove along the shore the cattle 
 belonging to the families in the boats, and the cattle of four other fami- 
 lies who were to join the settlers the following spring. From the mouth of 
 the Canisteo to the upper flats, the movement was slow. The frequent 
 rifts to be ascended, the accumulation of drift-wood and the trunks of 
 fallen trees which obstructed the channel, rendered the journey tedious 
 and toilsome in the extreme. On one day but six miles were made. 
 "At the rifts, when the nose of the unwieldy boat, plowing under the 
 water, at last wheeled about in spite of setting poles and swearing, and 
 went down again to the foot of the rapids, every human thing that 
 could pull went on shore, took hold of a long rope, and hauled the 
 barge up by main force. Thus, for some three days, the pioneers of Can- 
 isteo toiled up the hostile current." 
 
 The first work of these hardy men after landing on the flats, was to 
 take their axes into the woods, cut down suitable trees and build a 
 house of logs 24x26 feet. There was but one room below, and this 
 contained a cavernous fire-place in each of its four corners. The two fam- 
 
 * " They came suddenly upon the brink of a deep and fine valley through which 
 the Canisteo rambled, in a crooked channel marked by the elms and willows which 
 overhung it. The prospect was singularly beautiful. A heavy forest covered the 
 floor of the valley. Groves of gigantic pine stood with their deep green tops in the 
 midst of the maples, the elms and the white sycamores. * * * * At the lower 
 part of the valley there was an open flat, of several hundred acres, overgrown with 
 wild grass, so high that a horse and rider could pass through the meadow almost un- 
 seen. It was like a little prairie, beautiful indeed, but strangely out of place in that 
 rugged region — as if some great Indian prophet had stolen a choice fragment from 
 the hunting grounds of the Missouri and hidden it in the midst of mountains brist- 
 ling with gloomy hemlocks." — McMaster.

 ilies passed the winter here very comfortably. In the following spring 
 the3 r were joined by two more families, and one domiciled before each fire- 
 place, apd "each familj* occupied its own territory with as much good 
 humor as if divided from the others by stone walls and gates of brass." 
 "In the spring of 1790," says McMaster, "thej- were joined by Solo- 
 mon Bennett, Uriah Stephens, Jr., and Col. John Stephens, his broth- 
 er, with their families. As soon as the weather permitted, they set 
 about preparing the ground for seed. Although the flat was free from 
 timber, this was no trifling task. The roots of the gigantic wild grass, 
 braided and tangled together below the surface, protected the earth 
 against the plow with a net so tight and stout that ordinary means of 
 breaking the soil failed entirely. Four yoke of oxen forced the 
 coulter through this well-woven netting, and the snapping and tearing 
 of the roots as they gave way before the strength of eight healthy 
 beeves was heard to a considerable distance, like the ripping of a mat. 
 The settlers never learned the origin of these meadows. 'Capt. John, 
 the Indian,' said that he knew nothing of their origin; they were cleared 
 'before the time of his people." After the frost, when the herbage had 
 become dry and crisp, the grass was set on fire, and a very pretty min- 
 iature of a prairie on fire it made. The flames flashed over the flats almost 
 as over a floor strewn with gun-powder. A swift horse could not keep 
 before them. The wild grass, by successive mowings and burning, be- 
 came less rank and more nutritious, and in time gradually changed to 
 'tame grass.' " 
 
 After sowing and planting the spring crops, "the settlers constructed 
 a log fence on a scale as magnificent, considering their numbers, as that 
 of the Chinese wall." There were nearly four hundred acres within 
 this enclosure. From the site of the present village of Canisteo down 
 to the next township, a distance of six miles, twelve lots were laid out 
 across the valley from hill to hill, and assigned by lot to the several 
 proprietors. The lot upon which the log house mentioned above was 
 built, was that known formerly as the "Bennett" or " Pumpelly farm . " 
 That part of it upon which the house stood is upon the farm owned now 
 by William H. Ordway and occupied by Clark Brasted. The settle- 
 ment was augmented the same spring (1790) by the arrival of Jedediah 
 Stephens, John Redford and Andrew Bennett who took up their resi- 
 dence here. 
 
 The fertility of this valley was abundantly attested by the harvest 
 which was gathered. Seventy or seventy-five bushels of corn was 
 yielded to the acre. Indeed, the timbered flats have yielded seventy- 
 five bushels of corn, planted with a hoe after logging, we are told. 
 
 Early Items. — The first grist-mill built in the county was on Bennetts 
 creek, nearly a mile from its mouth, where was also a saw-mill. These 
 were built by Solomon Bennett in 1793. Previous to the erection of 
 this grist-mill, the settlers took their grain in canoes to Shepherd's mill 
 on the Susquehanna, below Waverly, a distance of nearly one hundred

 195 
 
 miles. The Bennett mill was frequently patronized by citizens of Bath. 
 The pioneer boys came over the hills through the unbroken woods, with 
 their ox-drays, and it was formerly told how a distinguished settler 
 came over from the Pine Plains with "his little brown mare, and his 
 sheep-skin to ride upon," after a bag of corn meal to keep off starva- 
 tion. Flour was sometimes sent in canoes down the Canisteo and up 
 the Conhocton. This mill was burned and the settlers had to resort to 
 the Shepherd mill again. The first goods were sold by Solomon Ben- 
 nett. Jedediah Stephens kept a tavern about the year 1800, below 
 Bennett's creek. Solomon Bennett was said by the settlers of Canisteo, 
 to have been the captain, John Stephens the lieutenant and Richard 
 Crosby the ensign of the first militan- company organized in Steuben 
 county. 
 
 ' ' The Indians made their appearance shortly after the landing of the 
 settlers — the Canisteo Valley having long been a favorite hunting field. 
 The men of Wyoming found among them many of their old antagon- 
 ists. Tories were never forgiven, but the proffered friendship of the 
 Indians was accepted, — old enemies were forgotten, and the settlers 
 and savages lived together on the most amicable terms. Shortly after 
 their arrival an old Indian, afterward well known as Captain John, 
 made his appearance, and on seeing the elder Stephens, went into a vio- 
 lent fit of merriment. Language failed to express the cause of his 
 amusement, which seemed to be some absurd reminiscence suddenly 
 suggested by the sight of the settler, and the old Roman resorted to 
 pantomime. He imitated the gestures of a man smoking — putting his 
 hand to his mouth to withdraw an imaginary pipe, then turning up his 
 mouth and blowing an imaginary cloud of smoke, then stooping to tie 
 an imaginary shoe, then taking an imaginary boy in his arms and run- 
 ing away, and returning with violent peals of laughter. One of the 
 sons of Mr. Stephens, a hot and athletic youth, supposing that the In- 
 dian was ' making fun ' of his father, snatched up a pounder to knock 
 him on the head. Captain John was driven from the ideal to the real, 
 and made good his retreat. He afterward became a fast friend of the 
 settlers, and explained the cause of his merriment. 
 
 ' ' When I.lr. Stephens lived near Wyoming, he was one day going 
 from his farm to the fort, with two oxen and a horse, which were at- 
 tached to some kind of vehicle. His boy, Phineas, was riding on the 
 horse. Mr. Stephens was an inveterate smoker, and walked by the 
 side of the oxen puffing after the manner indicated by Captain John . 
 While passing through the woods near a fork of the roads, his shoe 
 stuck in the mud and was drawn off his foot. Just as he stooped to 
 recover it, a rifle was fired from the bushes, which killed the nigh ox, 
 by the side of which he had been walking. The alarm of ' Indians !' 
 was sounded from the other branch of the road, where some of his 
 neighbors were killed. Mr. Stephens started and ran, but his boy cry- 
 ing out, ' Don't leave me, father! ' he returned and took him in his 
 arms and fled to the fort. The ambushed rifleman was none other than 
 Captain John, and he, recognizing the smoker fifteen years after the 
 adventure, was quite overpowered at the recollection of the joke. * * * 
 
IQ 6 TOWN OF CANISTEO. 
 
 "The Indians sometimes entertained the men of Canisteo with a dis- 
 play of their military circumstance, and marched forth on the flats to 
 the number of three hundred warriors, in full costume, to dance the 
 grand war-dance. They made a fire about eight rods long and paraded 
 around it with hideous chants and a great clattering of little deer-skin 
 drums. On one of these grand field-days, the whole tribe, arranged 
 most fantastically, was marching around the fire, and with the flourish- 
 ing of knives, the battering of drums, and the howling of war songs, 
 had worked themselves up into a brilliant state of excitement. The 
 settlers, boys and men, were standing near watching the performance, 
 when a high heeled young savage stepped out of the line and inquired 
 of one of the bystanders — 'What's your name?' the settler informed him. 
 'D — d liar! d — d hog! said the Indian. 
 
 "Elias Stephens, who was a prompt and high tempered youth, said: 
 'Daniel, I wish he would just ask me that question. ' The Indian in- 
 stantly turned and said: 'What's your name.' 
 
 " 'Elias Stephens.' 
 
 " 'D— dliar! d— d ' 
 
 "The sentence remains unfinished up the present date. A well- 
 planted blow of the fist knocked the barbarian headlong over the fire, 
 senseless. The sensation for a moment was great. The dance was 
 stopped, the drums became dumb; tomahawks and knives were brand- 
 ished no longer, and the savages stood aloof in such angry astonish- 
 ment, that the bystanders trembled for their skulls. The Chief how- 
 ever,came forward, and striking Stephen's approvingly on the shoulders, 
 said: 'Good enough for Indian.' He expected his warriors to behave 
 themselves like gentlemen, and when copper-colored gentleman so far 
 forgot themselves as to use indelicate or personal language, he would 
 thank pale-face gentleman to knock them over the fire, or through the 
 fire, or into the fire, as it might be most convenient. The dance went 
 on with renewed vigor, but the punished pagan descended from his 
 high horse and sat aside in silence,' volunteering during the rest of the 
 entertainment no more flourishes not promised 'on the bills.' 
 
 " Sometimes the Indians treated the settlers to a display of their 
 tactics. Hiding behind a rampart of roots or lying in ambush among 
 the bushes, at a signal given the whole party fired their rifles at certain 
 imaginary foes. The chief sprang up and gave the war-whoop, and 
 then the three hundred joined in that frightful cry of the six nations, 
 which, to use the favorite phrase of the pioneers ' was enough to take 
 the hair off a man's head.' Then, rushing out they tomahawked the 
 pumpkins and scalped the turnips, then dodged back to their covert and 
 lay as still as snakes. 
 
 " Elias Stephens, for his prowess and resolution , became an object of 
 respect to the red gentry. Fourteen men were working in Bennett's 
 milliard when sixteen ' Romans' came down whooping furiously, 
 and drove the lumbermen from their work, took possession of the mill, 
 and converted it into a dancing saloon. It was told to Stephens. 
 ' What ! ' said he, ' you fourteen let sixteen of those critters drive you 
 out of the yard ? Lord ! I can whip a hundred Indians, ' and taking the 
 swingle of a flail ran to the mill. The Indians were capering around 
 in high glee, brandishing their knives and shrieking very like Mark

 Anton}' and fifteen other Romans, and indulging in all those antics with 
 which the barbarians of the Long House were wont to divert them- 
 selves. 
 
 ' Put up those knives, d you, and march,' said Stephens. The 
 
 diversions came to a sudden pause. ' Put up those knives, d you, 
 
 and be off, or I'll beat all your brains out.' The Romans said never a 
 word, but stuck their knives into their belts and departed."* 
 
 Occasionally an unpleasantness would arise between the Indians and 
 the settlers. Two natives named Sundown and George Curly-Eye had 
 some little misunderstanding with a settler of the name of Thomas, t 
 it is said, and while on the lookout for him they came unexpectedly 
 upon Joshua Stephens, a highly respected citizen and son of Rev. 
 Jedediah Stephens. Without recognizing him they fired and unluckily 
 shot him, inflicting a mortal wound. When they came up to him he 
 desired them to carry him home, but fearing the consequences they 
 bore him to the highway where he was found, and hastened to the camp 
 undiscovered. Stephens died where they laid him and was found in 
 the morning. This crime was committed on September 20, 1825. 
 These Indians were at once suspected, were arrested, and promptly 
 committed to the county jail. They were indicted on October 5th, 
 tried at the oyer and terminer the following June and acquitted. The 
 trial created a great sensation and attracted to Bath many prominent 
 individuals, among them the celebrated Indian orator, Red Jacket, 
 Horatio Jones and Jelles Clute, the two latter famous Indian agents and 
 interpreters. After their acquittal Curley-Eye admitted the facts as 
 above stated. 
 
 Pioneers. — A part}' of General Sullivan's army in the invasion of the 
 Genesee country in 1779, while awaiting in the Chemung valley the re- 
 turn of their commander and his column from the north, pushed up the 
 river to Painted Post and beyond, out of curiosity to know how the 
 land lay on the northwestern branches of the Susquehanna. Among 
 the soldiers of Sullivan was Uriah Stephens, Jr., who believed from the 
 report of the boatmen that some fertile flat might lie among those nor- 
 thern hills. Mr. Stephens belonged to a numerous family of New Eng- 
 land descent, which had settled in an early day in the Wyoming re- 
 gion in Pennsylvania; and they, with other families which afterward 
 joined them in the settlement of the upper Canisteo, suffered in the at- 
 tack of the Indians and Tories on that ill-fated district in 1778. The 
 Stephens family, after several removals from Wysox, Queen Esther's 
 Flats, and other localities, were living in the years 1787 or 1788, at 
 Newtown.

198 TOWN OF CAXISTEO. 
 
 Several families, relatives and acquaintances, were found willing to> 
 engage in the enterprise of further emigration, and in 1788, as stated in 
 the first pages of the history of this town, we find Solomon Bennett, 
 Capt. John Jamison, Uriah Stephens and Richard Crosby exploring the 
 valley of the Canisteo. 
 
 Solomon Bennett, also from Wyoming, settled here in the spring of 
 1790, and was one of the leading spirits. He was a man of enterprise 
 and a ' 'hunter of renown. ' ' He built the first grist-mill and sold the first 
 goods. After the loss of his mills by fire Mr. Bennett went to New 
 York to procure machinery for a new one, but became engaged in other 
 business, and "failed to minister the urgent necessity of his neighbors. ' ' 
 Mr. Bennett married the widow Upson, a sister of Col. John Stephens. 
 
 Daniel Jamison, born upon the Tweed in Scotland, settled in Bucks- 
 county, Pa., near the junction of the Delaware and Schuj-lkill rivers. 
 His wife, Mary Magdalene Baxter, was from Wales. There were eight 
 children born to them, viz.: John, Thomas, Hugh, Sally, Anna Maria,. 
 Jane, Rachel and Elizabeth. Upon the farm of Mr. Jamison was erect- 
 ed a foundry, where were cast some of the first cannon and cannon- 
 balls made in this country, for use in the revolutiona^- war. The eld- 
 est son, Capt. John Jamison, was born in Durham, Bucks county, Pa., 
 December 3, 1753. At the commencement of the war he raised a mili- 
 tary company, and from entries in an old account book, some of which 
 are given below, it w T ill be seen that he was in the service in 1776, and 
 as late as the latter part of the year 1779. The expense attending the 
 raising of his company and for his relief and for the relief of those under 
 his command during the years of their service, was very heavy and he 
 was compelled to draw upon his father. All this was charged to his 
 personal account, and when his father's estate was settled, John Jami- 
 son had nothing coming to him. So besides his time, his services and 
 his health, he sacrificed his fortune also for his country. 
 
 We make the following extracts from his diary, now in possession 
 of his grandson, Dr. J. S. Jamison of Hornellsville, who also possesses 
 his silver mounted sword :

 At the battle of Fort Washington Capt. Jamison had command of the 
 garrison which he held till the ammunition was exhausted, and after 
 the loss of twenty-seven of his men he was taken prisoner and confined 
 in an old hulk in New York harbor. Of some nineteen or twenty pris- 
 oners confined there, he was one of four or five who lived to obtain 
 their liberty. After nearly a year and a half of suffering and privation 
 in one of the most wretched dens a human being was ever confined in, 
 he returned to his home. 
 
 In the spring of 1790 Capt. Jamison emigrated to this county and 
 settled at Canisteo. He built a double log house opposite the present 
 residence of Leffert Granger. In 1791 he removed to Philadelphia 
 where he married Nancy Duffy, the daughter of a once wealthy marine 
 merchant, but who was reduced to poverty by the loss of his vessel and 
 cargo. Miss Duffy was a native of Lame, county Antrim, Ireland, and 
 a Roman Catholic in religion. Capt. John Jamison died March 23, 
 1826. 
 
 Col. John Stephens came originally from Connecticut, and from the 
 Wyoming Valley, Pa., to Canisteo in the spring of 1790, as' before 
 stated. He married Olive Franklin. The estimable wife of John 
 Stephens familiarly known as " Aunt Olive," was the daughter of Ros- 
 well Franklin of Woodbury, Conn., who settled in the Wyoming Valley 
 with many others from Connecticut, in the year 1770. Mr. Franklin 
 was engaged in several skirmishes with the Pennamites, and suffered 
 imprisonment at their hands. During the Indian raids upon the settle- 
 ments of Wyoming he suffered the most distressing and irreparable 
 losses. In the year 1781 a number of his family were captured by the 
 Indians. These were Mrs. Franklin, Olive, then a girl of thirteen, 
 Susanna, aged eleven, Stephen, four years old, and Ichabod, aged eigh- 
 teen months. It was about noon on Sunday, April 8, when Mrs. Frank- 
 lin sent one of her little daughters to a spring not far from the house, to 
 procure some water. There were bushes about the spring, behind 
 
200 TOWN OF CANISTEO. 
 
 which persons might hide from the sight of those who came for water. 
 When the little girl approached the spot, Indians were there and seized 
 her. It was done without noise and she did not dare to make an out- 
 cry. Mr. Franklin was abroad in the woods to look for a swine that 
 was missing. As the child did not return nor answer their call, Mrs. 
 Franklin and Olive began to fear that Indians were lying in ambush, 
 and had captured her. They were not left long in suspense. " The 
 first we knew," said Mrs. Stephens, (Olive) who when seventy-two 
 years of age, related the events of that exciting period, " the door was 
 pushed open and eight guns were pointed right in upon us. Here were 
 eight Indians ready to rush in upon one defenseless woman and her lit- 
 tle ones." Seeing no man within, they took possession of the house as 
 their own. After securing much plunder and dispatching the mid-day 
 meal which had been prepared for the family, they hurried the prison- 
 ers off out of the way of discovery and pursuit. They put a shovel of 
 live coals upon the feather bed and a pillow upon the coals, and thus 
 burned the house. 
 
 The prisoners labored onward with great difficulty over hills and 
 through laurel swamps, tangled thickets and much mud and water, 
 until, from lameness and fatigue they were scarcely able to proceed. 
 The third day of their cap tivity, they travelled through some part of the 
 great swamp which lies east of Wilkesbarre, between the Susquehana 
 and Delaware rivers. In the course of the day the3 r had to cross a road, 
 and the Indians required them to step from one stone to another, so as 
 to make no tracks. They were evidently afraid of pursuers. On the 
 fourth day — Wednesda}' — they were nearly or quite destitute of provis- 
 ions ; on Thursday they had nothing to feed upon but winter-greens and 
 nothing on Friday, till toward the latter part of the day, when the In- 
 dians shot two or three black squirrels and caught a few small fish. 
 On Saturda}' they went on their way moderately, and before noon made 
 a halt. After resting awhile, the Indians began to look carefully around 
 and peep through the oak bushes which covered the hill. White men 
 were in pursuit of them. Each party was on the alert to seize ever}' 
 advantage which might present itself in its favor. The afflicted mother 
 and her little ones lay between the combatants and heard their bullets 
 whistle through the air. They were instructed by the Indians to lie 
 down or they would be killed. The mother was wounded already. 
 After the firing ceased, Mrs. Franklin, anxious to know whether her 
 husband was there, raised herself up upon her elbow to look. She di- 
 rected her attention toward the white people,, up the hill above them. 
 Her daughter Susanna, meanwhile, turned her eyes the other way, and 
 seeing an Indian approach, said : " Mother, lie down, there is an In- 
 dian coming, and he will kill you." The words were scarcely out of

 the child's mouth before her prediction was fulfilled. The fatal bullet 
 pierced her back between the shoulders, and she sunk down, dead. She 
 fell upon her daughter Olive, who lay partly behind her, and who spoke 
 to her but received no answer. Olive moved a little and laid down by 
 her side, and seeing the Indian re-load his gun, expected he would shoot 
 her next. Full of the dreadful thought, she said: " I hid my face 
 among the leaves and lay waiting the fatal shot. I remained in the 
 same spot until I thought he had taken time enough to kill me, if he in- 
 tended it, and then raised my head, very cautiously, as you may well 
 suppose, and just caught a glimpse of his back, as he was running from 
 us." The children were taken in charge by the whites, and finally re- 
 stored to their father, who went directly back to the spot where the 
 house stood which the Indians had burned. Having returned to the old 
 place and into the midst of objects familiar to her, Olive found induce- 
 ments and leisure for reflection. "Often, ' ' she remarked, ' ' in the course 
 of the summer following, was I overcome with my feelings in thinking 
 •over what we had gone through. I could see and feel our loss much 
 more sensibly, than at the time when it first took place. Then there 
 was such a stir and excitement in me and about me, that I could 
 scarcely tell whether I felt my mother's death at all. I knew it as 
 though I knew it not. I had no time to reflect upon it. But afterward, 
 when the struggle and excitement of the trying time had passed away, 
 the tide of thought and feeling returned upon me. ' ' 
 
 Rev. Jedediah Stephens was born in Canaan, Conn., May n, 1757. 
 He was married in Goshen, Orange count}', N. Y., January 1, 1778, to 
 Abigail Corey; was a volunteer soldier of the revolutionary war and 
 served six years; was in the Indian battle of Wyoming, July 3, 1778, 
 where his brother Rufus was killed. He owned a farm at Wyoming; 
 was taken prisoner by the Pennanites, under General Plunket, but af- 
 ter a few da 5 r s was released. In May, 1790, with his wife and family 
 of five children, he removed from Wyoming and settled on lot No. 10, in 
 the town of Canisteo, on the place now owned by his grandson, Joshua 
 C. Stephens, the property having been in the family since.* He was a 
 man who possessed much native ability, and upon settling in the new 
 •country was soon recognized as a worthy citizen. He represented the 
 ancient town of Williamson, Ontario county, in the board of supervis- 
 ors in 1793-94, and attended the meetings of the board at Canandaigua. 
 In early life he was a member of the Congregational church. About 
 the year 1800 he became a member of the Methodist church, and from 
 
 * Mr. Stephens first took up land within the present limits of the city of Hor- 
 nellsville, and spent one night there. As the settlers at Canisteo had no mechanic 
 among them and frequenth- had need of some one to make a sled or turn an ox- 
 bow, a delegation waited on him and induced him to settle at Canisteo.

 1812 to the time of his decease was a local preacher of that denomina- 
 tion. His sixth child, Olive, was the first white child born in Steuben 
 county. Mrs. Stephens died August 28, 1825, and Mr. Stephens, Jan- 
 uary 26, 1830. 
 
 Nathan Stephens, familiarly called ' 'Captain Xathan , ' ' was born in Har- 
 derstown, N. J., December 8, 1783, and was seven years old when the 
 family came to this valley. He married Rachel Gilbert, daughter of 
 Elisha Gilbert, one of the first settlers in Addison, May 14, 1804, and 
 for some eight years resided in that town on what was known as the 
 Gilbert estate. The remainder of his life was spent on the old home- 
 stead in Canisteo, where he erected commodious buildings and made 
 many other improvements, among which was the " Methodist tavern," 
 which he assisted his father in building. He was elected to fill many 
 offices in his town. His children are Elisha G., Jedediah H. M., Eb- 
 enezer C. Franklin D. and Joshua C. 
 
 Joshua C. Stephens was born Ma}- 30, 1S16, received a fair education 
 in the common schools and in Howard and Alfred Academies, and was 
 a teacher for several terms. On August 3, 1845, he married Hannah, 
 daughter of Harris Abbe, of Howard. She was born in Enfield, Conn., 
 September 30, 1823. Her parents removed from Connecticut about 
 1806, and settled in Howard in 1825. Mr. Stephens has resided on the 
 old homestead all his life, and carried on farming and to some extent 
 lumbering. He has been closely allied to the best interests of the town; 
 has been inspector and superintendent of schools, and has been town 
 clerk and supervisor for several terms. 
 
 Jeremiah Baker Sr., was born in New England, married Anna Step- 
 hens, sister of Rev. Jedediah Stephens, of Caanan, Conn. Mr. Baker 
 was a soldier through the entire revolutionary war, his family living at 
 Wyoming. While residents of Wyoming the mother and children were 
 taken prisoners, but were soon after rescued. He lost all his property 
 there, his buildings being burned at the time of the battle of Wyoming. 
 The family removed to Tioga Piont, Pa., but soon after came to Can- 
 isteo by means of boats and canoes, arriving here in the fall of 1790. 
 He settled first one mile above the Asa Baker place, and moved upon 
 the latter farm before the year 1800. Mr. Baker was one of the seven 
 voters of the town for four years, and held various offices in the early 
 history of the town. He died about 1824, and his wife in 1825. 
 
 Jedediah H. M., son of Nathan Stephens was born in Addison and 
 moved with his father's family to Canisteo. He married Ermina,(born 
 in 181 1), daughter of Benjamin Bennett of Howard. Their children 
 were, Susanna, (Mrs. J. G. Forncrook), Frazer; Hiram A.; HenryM.; 
 Emeline, who died at the age of fourteen; Ellen, (Mrs. James White); 
 Mandane,(Mrs. L. Masters); Bruce, who died in infancy; and Dr. Carius

 B. Hiram N. was born in Canisteo November 28, 1839, was brought 
 up on a farm and received such education as the schools of the town 
 afforded. He learned the carpenter trade and also taught school for 
 thirteen terms, a portion of the time in Rogersville and Prattsburgh 
 academies He spent five years in Michigan, lumbering. He engaged 
 in mercantile business at Fremont Centre in partnership with his 
 brother, and since 1889 has carried on the drug and general mercantile 
 business in Wallace. 
 
 Jeremiah Baker, Jr., was born about a mile above the present resi- 
 dence of his son, Asa Baker, April 18, 1791, and is said to have been 
 the first white male child born in Steuben count}'. At the age of nine- 
 teen he married Eunice Powers, of Addison, who died in 1829, leaving 
 seven children. He married second, Hilda, daughter of Rev. Jedediah 
 Stephens, and widow of Phineas Stephens. Mr. Baker's life was spent 
 mostly as a farmer, yet as a citizen he was intimately connected with 
 many of the most important local improvements of his town and county. 
 He held almost every position within the gift of his townsmen, was 
 deputy sheriff under the first sheriff of the county, Gen. George Mc- 
 Clure, and represented his assembly district in the legislature in 1S35. 
 He served on the Niagara frontier under General McClure in the war 
 of 1 8 1 2 . Two of his sons , Nathan S . and Elias , served in the war of 1 86 1 . 
 
 Benjamin Crosby emigrated from England about the middle of the 
 eighteenth century, arriving in New York after a long period of suffer- 
 ing by being cast away. The family remained in the vicinity of New 
 York until 1789, when Mr. Crosby, in company with several others, 
 explored the Canisteo valley and purchased the territory that now com- 
 prises the towns of Canisteo and Hornellsville, and thus became one of 
 the original proprietors. In 1790 he settled with his family where Hor- 
 nellsville is now located, and owned there several hundred acres of 
 land. He raised a family of eight children. Among them was Richard 
 Crosby, who was a soldier of the revolution, and was also ensign of the 
 first military company formed in this county. He was with his father 
 when he first visited the valley, and was one of the party which fol- 
 lowed the Conhocton to its upper waters. He married for his first wife 
 Hannah, daughter of Jeremiah Baker, Sr. She died in 1812, and about 
 18 1 3 he married Hannah (Thomas) Marshall. Mr. Crosby died about 
 1822. 
 
 Nathan Crosby was born in the town of Canisteo, March 26, 1815, 
 and has been a successful lumberman and farmer. In 1836 he married 
 Nancy, daughter of Elijah and Elizabeth (Moore) Hallett, of Canisteo. 
 She was born November 19, 1820. Childen: Elizabeth, Hiram, who

204 TOWN OF CANISTEO. 
 
 There was a man by the name of Charles Moore who owned a farm 
 near the confluence of Purdy and Bennett's creeks. He was amongthe 
 early settlers if not one of the pioneers. He was living on this farm as 
 early as 1810, and his family was well known in the valley. 
 
 There were two John Moores in the town, one kept a public house 
 near Hadley's Eddy, on the river and was called "Big John," being 
 large of stature; while the one who lived on Bennetts creek, on the farm 
 formerly occupied by Charles Moore, mentioned above, was called 
 "Little Johnny" by way of distinction. The latter was a man of at 
 least medium size and weight, his only peculiarity being his unusually 
 shortlegs. In i8io"Little Johnny' 1 lived in a log house on the turnpike. 
 The place was subsequently known as the Sweet farm. He is described 
 as "a man in the best sense of the word — intellectual, kind and gener- 
 ous, a good neighbor and a valued citizen." He served in the war 
 of 181 2, and was made a prisoner at the battle of Queenstown. 
 
 In passing up Bennett's creek the first settler above Johnny Moore 
 was Joshua Stephens, who as we have related was murdered by the 
 Indians Sundown and Curley-Eye. The exact time of his settle- 
 ment is not known to us, but he was there as early as 1819, and the 
 clearing there was small. A small log house stood on the right side of 
 the road and a barn on the left. Mr. Stephens married Rhoda, daugh- 
 ter of Uriah Stephens. 
 
 A short distance above Mr. Stephens lived William S. Thomas. A 
 road was opened from the Thomas farm to the salt springs at Green- 
 wood in 1820 and soon after John H. Stephens, son of Colonel John, 
 made a settlement beyond Mr. Thomas. Christian Coby about this 
 time settled on the creek, and Phineas Stephens, brother of John H .be- 
 gan an improvement that or the following year. A few j-ears later, 
 Batchelder and Woodard made settlements here, and later still, Mann- 
 ing and Ordway. 
 
 Among the early settlers in the valley, we should not omit the name 
 of James McBurney, of Ireland, who first came to Canisteo as a peddler. 
 He bought "Great Lot No. 12 in the lower township of Bennett, 
 and other lands. " Mr. McBurney went to Ireland, and upon his return 
 settled some of his countrymen on his land. 
 
 Uriah Upson lived near the present site of the depot, in Canisteo 
 where William B. Jones now lives. His wife, Meribah Upson, was 
 saved from the massacre at Wyoming, but she saw the savages take her 
 infant brother by the feet and dash out his brains against a tree. 
 
 George Stephens was born in Canisteo in 1803, and was a grandson 
 of Uriah Stephens. He died January io : 18S8. 
 
 Col. William Stephens came to the valley in 1791, and assisted in 
 driving cattle up the river into this country. He was a native of Penn-

 sj'lvania, having been born at the mouth of the Juniata, April 26,1777.

 It is located on Railroad street, near the junction of Bennett's and 
 Purdy creeks. It has an engine of sixty horse-power for grinding bark, 
 and employs twenty-five men. The buildings were destroyed by fire in 
 1882, and the proprietors immediately set about to rebuild them, and in 
 forty-five days from the date of the fire they were completed and the 
 works in operation again. The capacity of the tannery is 50,000 sides 
 a year.

TOWX OF CATOX. 213 
 
 Coston first postmaster. Mr. Coston held the office nineteen years, 
 when he was succeeded by William Alger, who continued in the office 
 for twenty-five years. It is located near the north line of the town of 
 Greenwood. 
 
 Swale post-office was established about i860, with Mark Jones first 
 postmaster. This locality, though bearing the name " Swale," is 
 among the most elevated sections of the towns of Cameron and Canis- 
 teo. Originally this land was covered with pine, oak, hemlock, beech, 
 basswood, etc. The rise from Cameron is by "benches," or flats, 
 twenty or thirty rods in width, which were at the time of the settlement 
 here, swamp land, and were covered with a rank growth of wild grass 
 and breaks. This post-office receives a tri-weekly mail. 
 
 CATOX.* — On the formation of Steuben county, March 8, 1796, the 
 tract of land now constituting the town of Caton and forming 
 the southwest corner town of the count)', was designated as 
 "Township No. 1, in the First Range" of townships in said count}-. It 
 remained as such until February 11, 1840, at which time it took the 
 name of "\Vormle3 r ," agreeable to an act of the legislature passed 
 March 28, 1839. 
 
 All previous histories have given the date of the formation of the 
 town of Wormley as March, 1829. During that year a post-office was 
 established here and called Wormley, and Samuel Wormley was ap- 
 poined postmaster. From this sprang the error which has found its 
 way into all the histories of the county which have hitherto been pub- 
 lished. In all official records it was invariably spoken of as "that part 
 of the town of Painted Post known as township "No. 1 " in thefirst range 
 of townships." It remained, as before stated, a part of Painted Post 
 until February 1 1 , 1 840. To settle the dispute as regards the formation 
 of the town, the writer has not only hunted up living witnesses of the 
 fact, but has searched the session laws of the earlier days, and in those 
 of 1839 found the following enactment, which is inserted as proof of 
 the foregoing statements: 
 
 "An act to erect the town of Wormley in Steuben county, passed 
 March 28, 1839. The people of the state of New York, represented in 
 senate and assembly do enact as follows: From and after the 1st Mon- 
 day in February, 1840, all that part of the town of Painted Post, in the 
 county of Steuben, beingtownship "No. 1" in the first range of townships 
 in said county, shall constitute a new town of the name of Wormley, 
 and the first town meeting for the election of town officers shall be held 
 on the 2nd Tuesday of February next, at the house where Russell Stan- 
 ton now resides." 
 
 *For a portion of this sketch we are indebted to Osceola Gilbert, of Caton. 
 
214 TOWN OF CATON. 
 
 In accordance with the foregoing enactment a meeting was held, and 
 town officers elected on February u, 1840. The town of Wormley 
 was, however, short lived, as we find by the following: 
 
 "An act to change the name of the town of Wormle5 T , in the county 
 of Steuben, passed April 3, 1840. The people of the state of New York 
 represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: The name of 
 the town of Wormley, in the county of Steuben, is hereby changed to 
 the name of 'Caton,'* by which last name it shall hereafter be known 
 and designated. This act shall take effect immediately." 
 
 The foregoing proofs, which are official, show conclusively that the 
 town of Wormley had no existence until February, 1840, and then 
 passed away after a brief period of about sixty days, all histories to the 
 contrary notwithstanding. 
 
 Topography. — The surface of the town is elevated, and is unbroken 
 by gorges or gullies. There is probably less broken land in the town 
 than in any upland town in the count}-. 
 
 The soil is mostly of a shah" loam and well adapted to pasturage. The 
 surface was originally covered with a heavy growth of timber, that 
 which stood in the vicinity of Caton Centre being hard wood and hem- 
 lock, while in the respective four corners of the town there was a heavy 
 growth of pine. 
 
 There are but few streams in the town, the larger of which are Bar- 
 nards creek flowing north and emptying into the Chemung river below 
 Corning: Birch creek, flowing eastward and emptying into Seeley creek,. 
 Cook's creek flowing westward into the Tioga river. Hendy creek 
 emptying into the Chemung river near the old Fitch bridge, has its 
 origin in this town. 
 
 Along the borders of these water courses grew heavy forests in early 
 times and numerous establishments for converting them into lumber 
 were built upon the streams. The scarcity of water, then the only 
 motive power, made it necessary to improve every opportunity, and 
 during the spring months and succeeding each freshet the old over- 
 shot wheels were kept in motion the whole day, and during the long 
 hours of the night the dull rasping of the upright saw could be heard 
 as it worked away at its alloted task of reducing the huge logs to a con- 
 dition in which they could be made serviceable. The process of manu- 
 facturing lumber in those days was so slow and,tedious,and the amount 
 so small that a single man was generally considered a full crew and 
 sufficient to man an establishment. The working force of the institu- 
 tion was generally proprietor also. A log would be rolled upon the 
 carriage, pried into position with a bar of iron, the dogs driven in and

 fastened with wedges, the- gate hoisted and then came the "clank clank" 
 of the saw, while the "Firm," with Job-like patience would wait for 
 it to find its way to the other end of the log. To cut fifteen hundred 
 feet was considered a good days work. The only market for the lum- 
 ber aside from that needed by the settlers, was found in drawing it to 
 the rivers and shipping in rafts to points below. The amount of time 
 and labor involved made it a profitless undertaking and millions of feet 
 were cut and marketed without any profit whatever. 
 
 The days of the old "Mulley Mills" are gone and the dense forests 
 from whence came their supplies have given way to fertile fields. Well 
 built highways cross the town in all directions, along which are scattered 
 substantial farm houses with their attendant out-buildings. 
 
 The present land owners are mostly descendants of the original set- 
 tlers and the spirit of industry which led the fathers to hew out a home 
 amid the forests of the new settlement in "No. i," has been in a large 
 degree transmitted to their sons. The well cultivated farms, the neat 
 farm houses and well arranged barns give evidence of a condition of 
 prosperity excelled by no town in the county. 
 
 Caton contains a population of 1,407, according to the census of 1890. 
 In 1S80 it contained 1,645. The loss is mostly owing to the emigration 
 of the young men who have gone from the town to engage in more lu- 
 crative business than that of farming. The majority of them are found 
 in the cities of Corning and Elmira, where they have secured positions 
 in various establishments and manufactories. 
 
 First Settlement. — It has Deen a matter of dispute who first settled in 
 the town, but it is now an established fact that the first settler was 
 named Ford, who came to "No. 1" in the year 1810, built a log cabin 
 and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by William Weale, a 
 little east of Caton Centre. The same year a clearing was made on the 
 farm now owned by John Hollman by parties who lived below Corning 
 but who never made a settlement here. Ford remained but two years. 
 The absence of neighbors and the destruction of his crops by the wild 
 animals led him to abandon his claim and "No. 1" was again without 
 an inhabitant. 
 
 Isaac Rowley a native of Bradford County, Pa., was the first perma- 
 nent settler in Caton. He had removed from Bradford county, Pa., a 
 few years previous to his settling in " No. 1," to Lindley, and having 
 traversed the woods of "No. 1 " in his hunting expeditions he was favor- 
 able impressed with its appearance and determined to make it his future 
 home. In the fall of 18 19 he cut a road through the dense woods from 
 near where now stands the depot of the Fall Brook company at 
 Lawrenceville, Pa., to his place of settlement which was in the south-

 west part of Caton and near where now stands the Brown Town school - 
 house. 
 
 The next to find their wa}' to the new settlement were the Hurd 
 brothers, Stephen and Simeon, Uriah Willmont, John Rowe and 
 Erastus Kidder, in March, 1821. Stephen Hurd settled, lived and 
 died upon the farm now owned and occupied by' J. S. Hurd, and 
 Simeon Hurd upon the farm now owned by Dubois Schutt. 
 
 Willmont settled upon the Rose farm while Rowe and Kidder jointly 
 occupied the farm now owned by A.J. Whitney near Caton Centre. 
 In 1822 came Salmon Tarbox, who settled upon the farm now owned 
 by William Weale. Elias P. Babcock, E. Robbins, and Abner Gilbert 
 purchased four thousand acres of land. This land was not in the south 
 east part of the town as stated in previous histories, but was mostly in 
 the vicinity of Caton Centre — Caton Centre being located upon a 
 portion of the original purchase. Mr. Gilbert built a saw-mill at the 
 outlet of the big marsh, and a few rods from where now stands the 
 Baptist church. In 1824, Ephraim Hill, Levi, Willys and Eli Gridley 
 came with their families. The Gridleys purchasing a portion of the 
 Gilbert property and settling upon it. Levi and Willys Gridley have 
 passed away, but EH Gridley still resides upon his farm. 
 
 Ephraim Hill settled upon lands east of Caton Centre and reared a 
 large family of children , who were among the most enterprising of the 
 earlier settlers. The descendants of Mr. Hill have been closely identified 
 with the history of the town from 1824, until the present time. 
 
 Isaac Thompson settled in 1S27 upon the farm now owned and 
 occupied by his son John W., and Amos Hamlin about the same time 
 took up a farm adjoining him. 
 
 Doctor Gregory, in 1825, settled upon a farm south-east of Caton 
 Centre, and raised a family of children, some of whom still occupy a 
 portion of the old homestead. 
 
 The Gregory's were among the most public spirited and enterprising 
 of the new settlers in the wilderness, and were actively engaged in the 
 manufacture of pearl ash. The dense forest of hard wood which 
 covered their lands furnishing abundant material for that article. 
 
 In 1832 Frederick and Gershom Barnard built a saw-mill near the 
 Corning line. 
 
 The first grist-mill was built in 1832, by Bennet Breeseon Bamards 
 creek about two miles north of Caton Centre. 
 
 Among the early settlers was James Davison, whose descendants 
 are among the most enterprising and successful of the farmers of the 
 town. His son Charles was one of the leading men of the town and 
 noted for his skill as a hunter. C. S. Davison the present mayor of 
 Elmira, is one of his sons.

 In 1842, Dexter and Daniel Davis, from Orange. Mass., brought the 
 first steam-engine into the town and located in the heavy pine forest 
 above Barnards Mills, where for ten or twelve years they engaged in 
 the manufacture of wooden pails , the ' ' pail factory ' ' being considered 
 one of the leading establishments of the county at that time. Dexter 
 Davis has long since passed away but Daniel Davis still resides here, 
 one of the most honored and substantial men of the town. 
 
 Jonathan S. Hurd was the son of Stephen Hurd, and was born in 
 Goshen, Orange county, September 25, 18 12, and removed with his 
 parents when a child to Benton, Yates county, X. Y. , thence to Wayne, 
 Steuben county, then to Tioga county, Pa., afterward to Lindley, 
 Steuben conuty, — all of these removals having been made in less 
 than ten years. The first child born in "No. 1" was named 
 Shepherd Hurd, and by most people believed to have been the 
 brother of the subject of this sketch. Such, however, is not the 
 fact. The Shepherd Hurd mentioned in previous histories as being 
 the first child born in the new settlement died in infancy and was a son 
 of Simeon Hurd. Jonathan S. Hurd was reared among the hardships 
 of pioneer life, and from the first settlement of the town until the pres- 
 ent time has been closely identified with its history. He bought the 
 first span of horses purchased in the new settlement, and has always 
 taken a great interest in the raising of horses. He took the first grist 
 from the new settlement on a sled made from a crotched beach tree 
 drawn by a yoke of oxen, to the old mill at Knoxville, making the 
 journey down Whiskey creek, and past where the city of Corning now 
 stands, over a road that was but liUle better than a bridle path, and so 
 rough that the bags had to be bound on with chains. He has seen all 
 the settlers of the town assembled together in one room for worship, 
 has witnessed the growth and prosperity of the town, and has always 
 been an important factor in its social, business and political affairs.

 Inft. He was very popular as an officer, prompt in the discharge of 
 his duties, careful in caring for the welfare of his men, and cool and 
 unconcerned in the hour of danger. It is related of him by the men of 
 his command, that during the campaign on the Peninsula, that while 
 engaged in a movement in the enemy's front a sharp fragment of shell 
 struck his sword belt, cutting it entirely from his body as with a knife, 
 letting the scabbard and belt fall to the ground. Lieutenant Matteson 
 coolly picked them up, and without a change of voice remarked, "That 
 was a close call, boys," went quietly forward in the discharge of his 
 duties.

 bers of the board, having served upon all of its most important com- 
 mittees, and also been its chairman. In all that pertains to the good of 
 the community in which he lives he has always taken a deep interest,

 the interests of the town finds in him a warm supporter. 
 
 Christopher Deyo was born June 21, 1801, at Coxsackie, N. Y. He 
 removed to Danby, where he lived for one year, then dwelt in Newfield 
 for eighteen years, Andover, Alleghany county, for four years, and in 
 1847 settled in this town. He married Chloe Whitney, and died in 
 Caton July 29, 1S62. 
 
 Alonzo Deyo, born in Newfield June 30, 1835, married Charlotte 
 Maria, daughter of Anson and Betsey (Caulkins) Cooper, of Caton, 
 who was born in Corning, May 13, 1842. Their children are Viola

 18S2, died September 25, 1884, and Lottie M., born January 23, 1884. 
 Mr. Deyo has been a prominent and active man in public affairs in the 
 town, and his work and influence have been far-reaching in their effect. 
 In the years 1875, '76 and '77 he represented his town in the board of 
 supervisors and was appointed sole committee to investigate the 
 accounts of the county superintendent of the poor, for a period covering 
 six years. His report and the consequent action of the board.'resulted 
 in a vast improvement in the' management of the poor affairs of the 
 county, and a complete change in the sanitary condition of the county 
 poor buildings, besides the saving of thousands of dollars to the tax 
 payers of Steuben. The result of his investigations aroused other 
 counties to a similar work. He followed the profession of teacher for 
 seventeen years, and is now serving his seventh term as justice of the 
 peace.

 Mr. Deyo is a man of strong convictions, and will uphold what he 
 thinks right, and condemn most unreservedly what he considers wrong, 
 regardless of what others may say of it. For many \ r ears he has been 
 foremost as legal adviser and counsellor in the town. His practical 
 judgment and sound sense, combined with a degree of legal knowledge 
 not often attained by men outside the profession, eminentl}- qualify 
 him for this position, and his irreproachable character and high sense 
 of moral integrity fit him most admirably for the many private offices of 
 trust which he is so often called upon to fill.

 emy, he engaged in mercantile business and remained in Guilford until 
 1845. The following j-ear he located in Corning and in 1849 settled in 
 Caton, where, it is said, he opened the first store in the town. He con- 
 tinued in mercantile trade until Apri 1, 1875, since which time he has 
 lived a retired life. 
 
 George W. Brown was born in the town of Corning June 15, 1826, 
 and lived there until eighteen years of age, when he went west and re- 
 mained two 3-ears. He returned and located in Caton in 1849, and has 
 since conducted the business of blacksmithing at the Centre. He 
 married Phoebe A. , daughter of Orlando Gregory, by whom he has had 
 three children, Charles Edgar, who died in infancy; Clara A., wife of J. 
 P. Inscho of Tioga Pa., and George Wilfred. 
 
 Jacob Vanarsdel was born in the town of Fleming, Cajiiga county, 
 March 26, 1813, son of Peter and Hannah (Lyons) Vanarsdel. In the 
 winter of 185 1 he came to this town and settled on the farm which he 
 now occupies. His wife was Delilah Hunt. Prior to coming here Mr. 
 Vanarsdel worked at the trade of blacksmith. 
 
 Lemuel Gulliver, a native of Vermont, when first married settled in 
 Allegany county, and about the year 1854 came to this town and set- 
 tled on the farm now owned and occupied by his son A. L. Gulliver. 
 His wife was Martha Franklin, of Allegany county. 
 
 Levi Force was born near Palmyra, Wayne county, N. Y., came 
 to the town of Corning when a young man and engaged in lumbering with 
 Albert French. Afterward in partnership with Mr. Xoyes, he engaged 
 in lumbering at Hendy Hollow, and came to this town in 1852. His

 wife was Ann Lindsay. Mr. Force located in this town on what is 
 known as Force Hill. He died in 1882. 
 
 Anson Cooper was born in Dry den, Tompkins county, April 8, 181 2. 
 He came to Corning when a young man and there married Betsey, 
 daughter of Enos Caulkins. Their children were Mary, wife of Julius 
 Lewis of Iowa; Charlotte M., wife of Alonzo Deyo of this town; Martha, 
 widow of Wright De Waters, andDelphine.wifeof Algernon De Waters. 
 Mr. Cooper came to Caton 1857 and located on the farm now owned by 
 Algernon DeWaters. He died January 2, 1871, and his wife Febru- 
 ary 20, 1872. 
 
 Of the early settlers we may name Esek Brown ; Pierce Herrick ; 
 Daniel and Nelson Crawford ; Alfred Thurber, who was born in Lind- 
 ley, and when a young man settled in this town ; Lewis Gridley, who 
 settled here as early as 1822, and who married Huldah, daughter of 
 Ephraim Hill ; Levi Gridley from Chenango county, married Olive 
 Bandle. The only child of this union now living, is Orrin Gridley, of 
 this town. Amos Bonham ; Rev. Arthur Westcott, and his brother 
 Horace. It is said Henry Miner settled here in 1823. The first mar- 
 riage in the town is said to have been that of Oliver Woodworth and 
 Elizabeth Hurd, and the first death that of a child of John Rowe. 
 
 Physicians. — Dr. Charles H. Davis, son of Nelson D. and Adelaide 
 (Westcott) Davis, was born in Caton, on November 4, 1858. He was 
 educated in the schools of his native town, and after a three years 
 course in the Oneida Conference Seminary, at Cazenovia, N. Y., en- 
 tered the office of his uncle, Dr. Nelson S. Westcott of New York city. 
 After the usual course he entered the Columbia College of Physicians 
 and Surgeons, from which institution he graduated on May 1, 1883, 
 and at once entered into partnership with his uncle, continuing in prac- 
 tice with him for two years, when he returned to practice in his native 
 town . 
 
 Catox, commonly called Caton Centre, is situated as the latter name 
 implies, near the geographical centre of the town. It is attractively 
 set among hills, and is reached from Corning, seven miles distant, by 
 two picturesque roads one lying over a beautiful ridge of table land, 
 while the other winds its way among the hills, following for some dis- 
 tance the wild ravine of Caton creek. The settlement has two churches 
 — Baptist and Methodist Episcopal, — school, three stores, three black- 
 smith shops, a general repair shop, a mill, a commodious hall for public 
 gatherings, and about twenty-five dwellings. 
 
 West Catox post-office was established, and first postmaster appoint- 
 ed May 29, 1888. Itis located near thenorthwest corner of the town, and 
 is patronized by sixty or seventy families in that section. Samuel E.

 Manufactures . 
 
 The Caton Mill was built by Whitney & Deyo in 18S0. It is fur- 
 nished with facilities for sawing, planing, feed-grinding, shingle mak- 
 ing, etc. A twenty horse-power steam engine furnishes the power, and 
 the capacity for sawing is about 6,000 feet in ten hours. The mill em- 
 ploys four men. 
 
 Barnard's Mill was built in i860. It is located near the northwest 
 coiner of the town on road 2. It has a circular saw, shingle and plan- 
 ing mill. 
 
 A. T.Nivcr's General Repair Shop and bee-hive manufactory is located 
 at Caton Centre where he manufactures one of the most complete and 
 withal, simple bee-hives in the market. One advantage among many 
 others which his hive possesses is that new racks are not required. They 
 are fitted for pound boxes which are easily removed from the rack to be 
 replaced by others. His shop is furnished with a two horse-power 
 engine and all repairs are neatly and promply done. He also conducts 
 the business of general blacksmithing and horse-shoeing. 
 
 Churches. — The first church in this town was of the Presbyterian de- 
 nomination, thej' holding services and organizing a Sunday-School in 
 1S24. The preaching was probably supplied by the old church of 
 Painted Post, which was organized in 1S11, and whose members ex- 
 tended over six or seven of the towns as they were then formed. Meet- 
 ing was held here in Gilbert's mill and H. D. Smith s barn for several 
 seasons, until 1S33, when their church was completed. 
 
 The Caton Baptist church was organized in the house of Xelson Wol- 
 cott, August 23, 1S32, as the First Baptist Church of Painted Post. 
 The Rev. Thomas Sheardown, a Baptist elder, writes as follows con- 
 cerning this place : — 
 
 " Having returned from my field in Pennsylvania, (about 1830), I 
 was next on the lookout for some other destitute place on the Southern 
 tier of counties in New York. 
 
 " I was conversing with a brother in the town of Hornby, who tried 
 to preach a little himself. He informed me that in a remote settlement 
 in what was then called Number One,' in the southeast corner of 
 Steuben county , there were a few brethren and sisters who had moved 
 in some years before. Remembering the da}' of the covenant meeting 
 of the church from whence they came, they met together, the same day, 
 for conversation on the dealings of God with them. There were but 
 few Christians in the settlement, the major part of the people being un- 
 converted. He entreated me to go and see them, for it was a very rare 
 thing for a minister to pass through that place. If I would promise to 
 go, he would go with me. I could not state the time, but he said, when 
 you get ready to come this way , call on me and we will go over and see

 how the} r do. The first opportunity I had, I called on him, and said, 
 ' Can you go to Number One ? ' ' Yes, ' he said, ''do you want to go to- 
 day ? ' I replied, ' Yes, if we can get there in time to circulate an ap- 
 pointment for the evening. ' He said he thought we could. We were 
 both well mounted, but the day wore away so fast that I was afraid we 
 should not be able to get many out. He said, ' We can expect only a 
 handful of people.' I remarked to him, 'If we do anything we must 
 make a fuss about it. ' 
 
 " As we entered the settlement, he said, 'We will stop here.' The 
 day was very cold, and we both needed a stopping place. We inquired 
 for the man and woman or the heads of the family. They were not at 
 home. There were some stout, lusty-looking young men, and one or two 
 of the daughters who were well able to set the table. I began to talk 
 about the state of religion, when one of the young men turned around 
 to me and said, ' We never have any preaching here, scarcely, and I 
 dont care much whether we ever have any more such preaching as we 
 have had, or not.' I asked him if he was a professor of religion. He 
 said he was. I told him I was glad of it, for I was a Baptist minister 
 and wanted to preach. He replied, ' I don't think we shall care about 
 hearing you. We have been taken in, here, too much by strangers. ' I 
 remarked to him that there must not be much time lost in getting out 
 the appointment. 
 
 " T shall preach, sir, and I shall not notify the people myself. ' He 
 said, ' I should like to see your credentials.' I told him my credentials 
 he had no business with. ' You are acquainted with the brother who 
 is with me, and by him you have been sending invitations for me to 
 come over and preach. I am come and there is no time to be lost par- 
 leying about credentials. And now, sir, I want you to start, and start 
 speedily; and I want you should run, not walk, but run from house to 
 house just as fast as you can, and tell them that Elder Sheardown is 
 going to preach to-night at the Miller school-house. Now, don't you 
 delay, sir.' ' But I have not time,' he said. ' It makes no difference 
 to me, sir, whether you have time or not. You have got to do as I tell 
 you; and now, make all speed, and just give the notice; do not stop a 
 moment at any house to talk, but do up the work effectually.' I finally 
 got him started and he went like a rolling ball before the wind. He 
 called at a certain house and said there would be preaching that even- 
 ing at the school-house. The lady said, ' Stop ! I want to know by 
 whom?' ' I don't know,' said he, ' he is the queerest fellow I ever 
 saw. He almost swore that he would preach.' 'Is he alone?' was 
 the inquiry. ' No, Brother W. is with him.' ' Well, then, it is Elder 
 Sheardown.' ' I don't know, it is is Shear — something; but I must 
 not stop, or he'll be after me as no fellow before ever was after me.' 
 He did the work faithfully, excited every individual he saw, and him- 
 self was a perfect eccentric. Perhaps no person who got the word failed 
 to be at the meeting that evening. My text was, 'And thou hast well 
 done that thou art come. ' 
 
 ' ' That night was the entering wedge that opened the way for my go- 
 ing again. I was solicited to go and preach three or four days, or as 
 long as I could. ' ' 
 
 The first church of this society was located on the brow of the hill,

 west, overlooking the village, its location being still marked by the old 
 cemetery. The present church building was erected in 1852. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church. — William and Martha Hubbard, who 
 came to Caton in 183 1, were the first Methodists in the town. Thomas 
 Wheat, a local preacher, formed the first class in 1S33, in the old east 
 school-house, where the first meetings were held. In 1838 meetings 
 were held in the north school-house, and in 1839 in the Presb3'terian 
 church. The following year the society occupied their first church, 
 commenced two years before. It was dedicated in 1842, and the pres- 
 ent church January 16, 1868. 
 
 MILITARY HISTORY. 
 
 At the breaking out of the rebellion, Caton was prompt in answering 
 the call for troops, and the quota of the town for every call was quickly 
 filled. With a population of about fifteen hundred, the town furnished 
 two hundred and twenty-five men for the union army. Of this number 
 one hundred and seventy-five were actual residents, the remainder be- 
 ing credited to the town from time to time under the different calls for 
 troops. Of the one hundred and seventy-five, twenty-eight were killed 
 or died while in the service, and twenty-five have died since the close 
 of the war. A society was formed in the summer of 1865 by the sur- 
 vivors of the war, known as "The Monumental Society of Caton," 
 which had for its object the raising of funds to purchase a suitable mon- 
 ument to perpetuate the memory of their fallen comrades. The society 
 maintained its organization for several years, and by a series of public 
 entertainments, the sum of $1,200 was raised, with which a monument 
 was purchased and placed upon a site procured for the purpose at Caton 
 Centre. It bears a coat of arms and the names of the deceased soldiers 
 and was the first monument of the kind erected in the county. At the 
 unveiling of the monument Col. Gabriel Smith, of Elmira, delivered an 
 oration which will never be forgotten by those who were present, es- 
 pecially the boys in blue. 
 
 Memorial day has always been strictly observed in the town, and on 
 its annual return the inhabitants invariably la}- aside their secular pur- 
 suits, and gathering at the public cemetery, with their floral tributes, 
 bedeck the graves of those who "died for their country." 
 
 COHOCTOX township is situated on the north border of the county 
 west of the centre. It was formed from Bath and Dansville, June 
 18, 1 81 2. A part of Avoca was taken off in 1843, and a part of 
 Wayland in 1848. In 1874 an addition was made to the eastern part 
 ofthe town from the townofPrattsburg. The surface is mostly a hillyup-

 land separated into ridges by deep and narrow valleys. The principal 
 streams are the Conhocton river, flowing southerly through the centre, and 
 its tributaries. The valley of the Conhocton is rich and productive, and 
 varies in width from a mile to a mile and a quarter. The soil is allu- 
 vium, mixed with clay and loam. A slaty and gravelly loam prevails 
 chiefly on the uplands. These uplands, such as Lent Hill and Potter 
 Hill are among the best farming lands of the town. The only waste 
 lands being along the steep declivities of the hills and ravines. The 
 town is watered with many clear brooks and springs, and is well 
 adapted to grain, fruit, grazing and dairy purposes. Potato growing is 
 one of the chief industries of the town. The population in 1890 was 
 3.475- 
 
 The act erecting the town of Cohocton, passed June 18, 181 2, pro- 
 vided that the first town-meeting should be held at the house of Joseph 
 Shattuck, Jr. This meeting was held April 29, 1813 and the following 
 town officers were elected: Samuel Wells, supervisor; Charles Bennett, 
 town clerk; Stephen Crawford, John Slack and William Bennett, assess- 
 ors; Jared Barr, John Woodard and Isaac Hill, commissioners of high- 
 ways; John Slack and Samuel D. Wells, poormasters; James Barnard, 
 constable and collector; Isaac Parmenter, constable; James Griffin and 
 Thomas Rogers, fence-viewers. Samuel D. Wells and Jonas Cleland 
 were chosen pound-masters. 
 
 Early Settlement. — At an early day the Conhocton river was known 
 as the great water course to the Genesee country and Cohocton — or 
 Liberty as it was formerly called — was at the head of water navi- 
 gation. 
 
 Ebenezer or "Indian Allen," a noted desperado and tory, a native of 
 New Jersey, came to Genesee valley by this route, it is said, before the 
 close of the revolutionary war, and some years later returned to Phila- 
 delphia and purchased a boat-load of goods which he brought by water 
 to Cohocton, and thence had them transported to So-no-jo-wau-ga, or 
 where Mt. Morris is now located.* 
 
 North Cohocton Items. — Soon after the revolutionary war was ended 
 and peace declared, among those who resolved to emigrate to the 
 Genesee country, was Richard Hooker, of Baltimore, Maryland, the 
 owner of a plantation of eight hundred acres. Among the chattels 
 owned by Hooker were one hundred slaves, but it is said he was kind 
 
 *Soon after the arrival of Mr. Phelps upon his purchase — probably in 1789 — Allen 
 entered into an arrangement with Phelps and Gorham, in pursuance of which they 
 gave him one hundred acres of land at the Genesee Falls, in consideration of his 
 building a grist-mill and saw-mill to accomodate the few settlers in the surrounding 
 countrv. It is said that the irons for this mill were transported from the Conhocton 
 — and probably at this point or not far below. 
 
230 TOWN OF COHOCTON. 
 
 to them, treating them like members of his family. He became a 
 member of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, as they were more com- 
 monly called, and believing with others of like faith that it was not 
 right to hold slaves, gave them their feeedom and their choice to remain 
 where they were or to migrate with him to the new country. All but 
 two decided to remain in Maryland. 
 
 Selling out, Hooker journeyed with two large covered wagons and 
 two as good four-horse teams as could be found. With his wife, four 
 sons and seven daughters, the colored man and woman , three hired men, 
 (William James, Samuel Chamberlain and Luther Keth), aiid a half 
 bushel of gold and silver ; he took up a line of march up the Susque- 
 hanna in the summer of 1789 or '90,* meeting with mam* obstacles 
 and adventures on the way. They pushed boldly up the Conhocton, 
 Hooker's object being to strike the Genesee river at General Wads- 
 worth's settlement — now Geneseo. 
 
 Cold weather coming on, horses jaded and poor, wife and children 
 tired out and homesick, how far from the place of his destination he knew 
 not — taking all into consideration, he decided to go into winter quar- 
 ters, selecting the spot where E. H. Wing now lives. He builtthe first 
 log cabin, with no neighbors that he knew of nearer than a trader at 
 Painted Post, except the Indians, who were plenty enough. Some of 
 the hands and teams must take the back track to where provisions could 
 be procured. There was no lack of meat, for deer were plenty, but 
 everything else in the line of provisions was very scarce. There was 
 nothing for the stock save what they could pick up in the marsh by 
 the river, and the trees that were felled for them to brouse on the twigs. 
 
 When spring came some of the horses had died, and the rest were so 
 poor the}- could not go on, and it was decided to stay where they were, 
 clear off some land and raise such crops as they could . The oldest son 
 was left behind at school w T here he was studying law. There was con- 
 siderable due on the plantation they sold and when it was paid young 
 Hooker was to take it and come on, but instead of doing so he lost it 
 all at gambling ; thus beggaring his father and blighting all his hopes 
 and expectations. Mr. Hooker died in 1801, aged seventy-one, and 
 
 * All previous histories of this town state that Joseph Biven was the first 
 settler, he having located here in 1794. They mention Hooker as an early settler, 
 but give no elate of his coming. The fact that he settled here as early as 1 790 has 
 been discredited, because Timothy Pickering, in writing of his journey to Canan- 
 daigua to make a treaty with the Indians, in 1794, states that there was no settler 
 between Bath and Biveus Corners, at that time. While we cannot account for the 
 absence of any mention of Mr. Hooker by Colonel Pickering, we cannot discredit 
 the statement of the late Thomas Hooker of Naples, that he was in his fourth or 
 fifth year when his father settled here. Thomas Hooker was born in June, 1786.

 is said to have been the first white person who died in this town. His 
 daughter Sarah was married to Joseph Bivens, in 1798, the first white 
 couple united in matrimony in the town. Their daughter Bethiah 
 Hooker Bivens, was born in 1800, and was the first child born in the 
 town, of white parents. 
 
 Thomas Hooker, the youngest son of the original family, who died in 
 Naples about 1S79 or '80 at the age of ninety-four years, coming here 
 when four or five years old, said that for years there were no white boys 
 here, and his playmates were the little red -skins. His mother kept a 
 tavern after his father's death. 
 
 Selling out to James Woodard in 1802, Rachel Conley Hooker moved 
 to Naples, where she died in 1809. James Woodard married Elizabeth 
 Hooker in 1807. She died about i860. Elizabeth Hooker was the 
 mother of Nelson and Ephraim Woodard, now living here. 
 
 From the History of Steuben county — McMaster's — " It is said that 
 in 1793, Colonel Williamson sent thirty men to open up a road from 
 Painted Post to Dansville, and that on the upper waters of the Conhoc- 
 ton they found a settler who had raised a quantity of potatoes the year 
 before, and that they seized the lot, leaving him none for seed ; but 
 Patterson, the boss, told him to go to Tioga Point and buy seed, pay- 
 ing him five times the worth of them. Also among other improve- 
 ments, was clearing the river so that arks and rafts could be sent down, 
 and a settler some fifteen miles up the river from his mill, above Bath, 
 said he would send a boat load of provisions down in the spring ' ' — 
 showing conclusively that Hooker settled here a number of years before 
 Williamson came to Bath. 
 
 In 1805 Elijah Parker came here and bought of one Wilcox the 
 tavern at the twenty-two mile tree (known formerly as the George 
 Gardner and Alva Peck farm) ; he was also engaged there in making 
 potash, paying for the ashes he bought in goods, buying his goods in 
 Canandaigua, and finding a market for his potash there. Thus he be- 
 came the first merchant of this section. 
 
 Joseph Bivens was sent by the agent of the land office at Bath, in 
 1794, to build a house to be used as a tavern for the accommodation of 
 settlers on the Pulteney estate, at the twenty-two mile tree. He came 
 and built the house on the farm owned by the late George Gardner, at 
 the junction of the road up the Conhocton with the road leading from 
 Naples to Dansville. Some four years after, he married the Hooker girl 
 and sold out at the twenty-two mile tree, and built what was known in 
 those days as a double log tavern where the O. Wetmore store and 
 dwelling now stands, which was the first house built at North Cohoc- 
 ton. After roads were laid out throagh that section it was called Biv- 
 ens Corners for some years. It is said he sold out to William Havens, 
 who kept tavern there for a while. He and his brother Joseph came 
 
232 TOWN OF COHOCTOX. 
 
 here in an early day. Joseph built a large two-story frame building 
 where the Eel Pot road forks off from the Naples road, and kept tavern 
 there for a number of years. He was not a little surprised on awaken- 
 ing one morning to find a dozen Indians stretched on the floor before the 
 fire, who had taken possession while he slept. William Havens sold 
 out the corner to Samuel Hartwell in 1815. He was a soldier in the 
 war of 1812. He and his son Elijah kept tavern here for more than a 
 third of a century. In this house a post-office was established in 182S, 
 with Elijah Hartwell for postmastej. Aaron Hartwell, brother of Eli- 
 jah, lived at the head of Depot street. The old man spent the last 
 years of his life there, dying at nearl3 r one hundred years of age. 
 
 In 1802 James Woodard came from Vermont and bought the Hooker 
 place, his sons settling on the lands near by, all but James, Jr., who 
 married Elizabeth Hooker in 1807, and went to house-keeping on what 
 is known as the Moulton farm, just west of where Ephraim "Woodard 
 now lives. Nelson Woodard was born therein 1809, and has lived 
 within half a mile of there since. 
 
 Among the early settlers were Henry and Richard Crouch, taking up 
 the land where Joel Crouch now lives. Henry Crouch was a soldier of 
 181 2, but did not live to get home. His widow bought the Hooker 
 place of Woodard in 181 8, and was afterwards married to Elnathan 
 Wing, with whom she lived to a ripe old age. 
 
 Frederick Blood settled on the farm now owned by Carney Tyler, in 
 1810. He and his sons were hardy, go-ahead fellows. In burning a 
 large fallow the second year after they came, the large log barn which 
 they had built was burned; but Blood was not the man to give up or 
 stop at trifles. He built a mill on the creek that came down near the 
 Ashael Tyler farm, the site now owned by David Waite. The old race 
 crossed at the head of Liberty street. With this mill he sawed out the 
 timber and lumber for a farm barn which he built across the road from 
 the house, and is said to be the first frame building put up in this part 
 of the country. It stood the storms of half a century, and was then 
 moved back of the house . In 1 8 1 5 or ' 1 6 he bought lands where North 
 Cohocton now is, and built a tavern on the site of the Van Riper Ho- 
 tel. It was the first framed building at this point, and naturally, his 
 wide-awake boys gave it the name of "Blood's Corners," a name by 
 which it is known in many localities at the present day, and was the 
 cause of the railway station being called "Bloods." 
 
 Frederick Blood was a native of Germany, and came to this town 
 from Ballston, Saratoga county. He had been enticed into the naval 
 service when quite a small lad, and had come to America as a drummer 
 boy on board a man-of-war. 
 
 The Moultons and Tylers came here in 1820, and bought of Blood 
 
TOWN OF COHOCTOX. 233 
 
 two hundred and fifty acres. Rice Moulton lived for many years on 
 the farm now occupied by John O'Connel. The Tylers now own the 
 balance of the Blood farm. Hiram Moulton lived and died on the 
 Moulton homestead, afterward owned by Carney Tyler. 
 
 Daniel Raymond and his sons, Daniel, Roswell, Rufus and Alvah, 
 came here from Wheeler in 1816. They settled in Wheeler in 1804, 
 but from some defect in the title of their new land, they lost all their 
 work, and the wheat paid for the farm, and they came on here to begin 
 anew, with nothing but their hands and a will to help them. They 
 settled on the land now owned by Joel Crouch and S. Wood worth. 
 His son, Silas, first settled near Kanona, coming here in 1823 on the 
 place known as the H. S. Clason farm. He and his brother Roswell 
 were Friends. Roswell was a preacher of that sect, and held meetings 
 for many years in the school-house in that district. It was known for 
 a long time as Quaker street. Of their many descendants, but one re- 
 mains, Judge Adams' wife, at Bloods, was the daughter of Silas. Silas 
 Raymond made his purchase of one Biddleman. 
 
 It is said that a man by the name of Kirkwood pitched his tent in an 
 early day on the creek that finds its way to the Conhocton across B. S. 
 Healy's farm, hence the name it bears. 
 
 John and Duty Waite, also John Bush, and Chauncey Atwell were here 
 at an early day. John Waite lived where his son Rufus does now, for six- 
 ty years. Elijah Wing bought the land and built the house and barn 
 where Walden now lives; and in 1822 bought out Bagnell. 
 
 David and Abijah Fowler were early settlers, and the lands the}- set- 
 tled on are now owned by the grandsons of Abijah Fowler. Abijah 
 Fowler did a large business in letting or hiring out cattle and sheep, getting 
 from $5 to $30 a year for the use of a yoke of oxen, according to age and 
 weight; cows rented for $3 to $20; sheep were let at weight of wool per 
 head, or in four years return two for one borrowed. He was said to 
 have let out at one time one hnndred yoke of oxen, some of them being 
 thirty to forty miles away. His son, S. G. Fowler, who succeeded 
 him, was for many years engaged in the same business. 
 
 John Nicholson was also a man of some note in those days, being a 
 counsellor-at-law and holding various town offices. He was the second 
 postmaster of this office, and lived on the Wilson place, on the road 
 leading to Naples, the buildings standing some distance from the road. 
 On this farm was built, by Sam Salisbury, the first if not the only dis- 
 tillery at this place. 
 
 Dr. F. H. Blakely was the physician here for half a century. It is 
 said his books showed that he had been called at nearly two thousand 
 cases of child birth. He removed from here to Illinois some years 
 since, where he died at the age one hundred and five years. 
 
234 TOWX OF COHOCTON. 
 
 The first school -house built here was constructed of logs, and stood 
 on the north side of the street, opposite Wetmore Brothers' store. It 
 answered for the purpose of school and meeting for many years. A 
 frame one was built to take its place on the corner of the W. Waite 
 place. This was succeeded by one built where E. A. Wetmore now 
 lives. It was sold to Mr. Wetmore, who remodeled it into a dwelling, 
 after which the present large Union School building was erected. 
 
 It is said the first merchant here was Solomon Hubbard, who built a 
 store in 1820 on the liberty road ; Jie continued in the business until his 
 death. Jesse McQuig also built a store on the corner of the Wa viand 
 and Depot roads, but after a few years sold out his goods and rented 
 his store. He built a saw-mill on the Kirkwood stream, and was ex- 
 tensively engaged in lumbering at that point for many years. He sold 
 out and went to Janesville, Wisconsin, in 1844, and for some time sub- 
 sequent there was no store at this place. In 1845 W. B. Peabody, of 
 Springwater, put in a stock of goods with O. Wetmore as salesman. 
 The next year Wetmore bought the store and goods. In 184S his store 
 and contents burned ; he built and rented it for a few years, after which 
 he moved back into his store and sold goods in company with his 
 brother, X. A. Wetmore. Some years after X. A. Wetmore bought 
 the premises and moved the building awa)-, and put up on the site a 
 store second to none in the county, where the firm of Wetmore Brothers 
 are doing a large business. Mr. Wetmore has done much towards 
 building up the place since he came here. 
 
 W A. Gilbert, a merchant of Dansville, came here in 1846, bought 
 the Fowler store and moved it where it now stands fronting the Way- 
 land road ; he remodeled and enlarged it, and sold goods there for a 
 third of a century through good and bad times, climbing steadily up 
 fortune's ladder. When he came here there was no church, and he 
 being a Methodist, went to work with a will to have one built, and no 
 man did more towards building the church, than William A. Gilbert. 
 He died at the age of eighty years. 
 
 The first saw-mill built at this place was by Mr. Crawford, at an early 
 day, on the west bank of the river, near where Clark's steam mill now 
 stands. The water was taken from the river in a race-way some twenty 
 rods north, on what is now the Cross place. About 1822, Benoni Danks 
 came here from the Black River country. He, in company with 
 Tucker, who kept tavern on the Twelve-Mile Creek, eight miles south 
 of here, built a saw and grist mill a little east of where the mills of D. 
 S. Waite subsequently stood. A few years later they were burned, and 
 rebuiltby the same parties. Jerry W. Pierce came from Xaples in 1838, 
 bought the farm where S. Corey now lives, soon after buying the mill 
 property. Hesold his farm and moved there, where he died. 
 
TOWN OF COHOCTON. 235 
 
 Rice Moulton came here when a lad of fifteen 3 r ears, in 1820. His 
 sister Mrs. Ashael Tyler, was ten years old when they came. For many 
 years after they became residents of this town their large farm barn 
 (built by Blood) was used for quarterly and other meetings. They 
 came from Saratoga. 
 
 Daniel Thorne, or " Old Thorn," as he was commonly called, lived 
 many 3-ears on the farm west of Moulton 's. He was a noted hunter and 
 trapper in his day and many were the dollars he earned as bounty money 
 for the wolves he scalped, sometimes getting as high as twenty dollars 
 apiece for them. He afterwards became noted as an " anti-renter, ' ' and 
 would neither pay for the farm at the office nor leave it. The sheriff 
 was sent to oust the old fellow, with a number of men to assist ; they 
 found him barricaded in his house, with provisions and ammunition, 
 prepared for a siege. He told them to come on if they wanted to, that he 
 ' ' was not brought up in the woods to be scared b}' owls, ' ' and that the 
 first one who attempted to poke his head through the door would get 
 a bullet through his cranium. The sheriff and his posse were not of the 
 blooded kind, and concluded that the safest way was to let Old Thorn 
 alone. The office compromised with him soon after, and he went west. 
 
 The Clasons were among the first settlers. " Uncle " Reube, as he 
 was called, was grandfather to Wheeler and Munn Clason. He lived 
 here until he became old and childish, and was a firm believer in the 
 final happiness of all mankind. The boys were wont to bother him by 
 saying that the Universalists were all going to hell. The reply of the 
 old man invariably was : " I'll bet you my oxen, sir, that you can't 
 find a Universalist in hell. ' ' 
 
 Gratton Wallace lived on the Mrs. Hendryx farm on the Patchinville 
 road where his father settled, lived and died. 
 
 Most of the different churches have had representatives here from 
 Brigham Young and his many wives to the. Roman priest with none; the 
 Methodists outnumbering all the rest. 
 
 Of the twenty -five or more landlords who have flourished at this place, 
 Hartwell, Blood, Liscomb, Nichols and Van Riper have been promi- 
 nent ones. H. A. Grover kept for a while the only voluntary temper- 
 ance house since 1800 was christened. 
 
 In 1 85 1, when the railroad surveyors reached what is now the village 
 and station of Bloods, they found barely two dwelling houses. Some 
 thirty years before, Caleb Boss came here into the woods and built a 
 house on the corner where the road branched off from the Patchinville 
 road, leading south down the west side of the river, and was known for 
 many years as the back river road. He also built a blacksmith shop 
 across the way on the north side, which was occupied by a number of 
 parties up to 1845, when Darwin Kimball bought the premises from Joel 
 
236 TOWN OF COHOCTOX. 
 
 Crouch, paying $500 ; he selling the shop and land on the north side 
 of the road to his brother Royal, who made a dwelling house of the shop. 
 In 1852 Elder Cross owned the land on the north side of the road, where 
 the depot buildings now are, and Kimball the lands on the south ; the 
 latter sold out to Hodgman, of Bath, realizing a profit of $2,000 on his 
 $500 investment. 
 
 Asa Watkins built the Mountain View Hotel, and retained it some 
 years. W. W. Waite bought the Virgil Hotel, built by Finch, enlarged 
 it, and also built the block of stores across the way, and the Farmers' 
 Hotel. The war found him here with a drug and liquor store, and it 
 is said that the rise in the price of liquors which he had on hand at that 
 time was sufficient to build the fine buildings near the river, where he 
 died a few } T ears since. 
 
 Hodgman built the first store here ; John Oakely conducted a mer- 
 cantile business in it for a while, selling out to J. W. Pierce in 1859. 
 His son John was the manager until the breaking out of the rebellion, 
 when his place was taken b y a younger brother, H. C. Pierce. John 
 was instrumental in raising a company of cavalry, was commissioned 
 captain , and fell at the head of his men while leading a charge at Mes- 
 ten's ford, Va. His horse galloped riderless back to his place in the 
 ranks, and the bo5's made two unsuccessful attempts to recover his body. 
 He had been promoted to major. His brother Xewcomb was also made 
 a captain during the war. 
 
 When the railroad was being built, a large elm tree was felled a lit- 
 tle south of the station, near where the railroad crosses the Conhocton, 
 on the stump of which, for about six inches through the centre, were 
 plain axe marks where it had been cut down. The marks were sur- 
 rounded by more than three hundred grains, showing conclusively that 
 more than three centuries had elapsed since some one was here with a 
 sharp-edged instrument of some description. The engineer in charge 
 of the work was from Massachusetts, and caused the stump to be sent 
 to a museum in that state. 
 
 A. Adams came among us in 1851, was the first regularly admitted 
 lawyer who hung out a shingle at this place, and was justice of the 
 peace and postmaster. He operated considerable in real estate, built a 
 number of houses , among them those of Delos Clark and Dr . Abrams . He 
 also planted maple trees on Cohocton, Wayland and Depot streets, which 
 will be lasting monuments when he is forgotten. 
 
 Dr. A. L. Gilbert, whose locks are being whitened by nearly four 
 score winters, came here a j^oung man from the medical college at Cas- 
 tleton, Vt., with energy and perseverance built up a large and success- 
 ful practice, and has also been an extensive operator in stock and real 
 estate. 
 
TOWN* OF COHOCTOX. 237 
 
 Early Settlers About Liberty. — Jonas Cleland and his son James, came 
 into the town from Pompe} r , Onondaga county in 1805. That year or 
 the following, Mr. Cleland built the first house between Liberty and 
 Avoca. It stood near the Davis creek. Between Liberty and Naples 
 were two cabins, one the Woodard house before mentioned and that of 
 Joseph Shattuck where the village of Cohocton stands. This house 
 was a prominent one in the town and one of the earliest hotels, and on 
 account of its central location, was the place for holding town-meetings 
 for many years after the town was organized. 
 
 Mr. Cleland bought of the Pulteney estate a tract of land a mile square 
 south of Cohocton, for twelve shillings an acre. He sold his house 
 and a portion of the land to Albertus Larrowe, and then built another 
 house just south of the Davis mill, where he settled with his famity. 
 He also built the first saw and grist-mill in the town of Cohocton. The 
 saw-mill was built about 1808; the irons used in it were manufactured 
 in Europe and had been left on the spot by Colonel Williamson, who 
 had undertaken to build a mill here prior to his retirement from the 
 agency of the Pulteney estate, and had proceeded so far as to get out 
 the timber for the dam, and make Dther preparation for building. 
 The grist-mill, built by Mr. Cleland at a somewhat later date, was a 
 great boon to the settlers. Before its erection they had to go on horse- 
 back to Naples or to Dansville with their grist, the roads being such 
 at that early day as not to admit of traveling with any wheeled vehicle. 
 Alvin Talbot came into the town soon after and settled on the Dusen- 
 bury farm. Ezra Parker settled on the place owned by the late James 
 Cleland. Job Briggs settled on lands afterward owned by Dennis Con- 
 nor. He was a cooper by trade and followed that occupation. Henry 
 Burrows was an early settler. Ebenezer Keeler settled on Twelve Mile 
 creek at an early day. He was a prominent and influencial man in the 
 affairs of the town . 
 
 Early in the year 1805, Joseph Chamberlain, from Herkimer county, 
 settled on the Davis farm near Cohocton. His effects consisted of a cow 
 and a dog and a few articles tied up in a pack, which he carried on his 
 back. As a substitute for a milk-pail, he chopped a notch in a log, and 
 trained his cow to step astride of it; then milking into the notch, he 
 crumbed in his bread and ate with a wooden spoon. He sxibsequently 
 kept the log hotel built at Cohocton by Lucius Shattuck in 18 10. 
 
 Joseph Stattuck moved from Pompey, Onondaga county, N. Y. to 
 Cohocton and settled on a farm in the south part of the town, near the 
 present village of Wallace, in 1805. He continued to live there until 
 his death in December 18 19, and where his wife also died March 2, 
 1824. The remains of both lie in the old cemetery grounds in Cohoc- 
 ton village. Mr. Shattuck served as a soldier during the revolutionary

 war and was a pensioner at the time of his death. Soon after he settled 
 in Cohocton his sons, Lucius, Truman, Zebina and Alfred moved from 
 Pompey to Cohocton. Truman settled on a farm in the north part of 
 the town and Zebina and Alfred on a farm adjoining their father, 
 where Alfred kept a hotel in the house which is still standing a half 
 mile east of the village of Wallace. Lucius settled near the centre of 
 the town and built almost the first framed house at what was then 
 known as Liberty Corners, now Cohocton, where he lived until his 
 death which occurred November 20, 1852. The only direct descend- 
 ants of Joseph Shattuck now living in Cohocton are Harvey Shattuck, 
 son of Truman, who resides at Bloods Depot and S. D. Shattuck who 
 resides in the village of Cohocton and is the present editor of the "Co- 
 hocton Valley Times." 
 
 In 1806 Levi Chamberlain and Deacon Horace Fowler* became set- 
 tlers in the town. Among the early settlers were also Timotiby Sher- 
 man, James Barnard, Samuel Rhodes, Jesse Atwood, Isaac Morehouse 
 and Charles Burlingham. David Parmenter was a well known citizen, 
 who lived to the age of eighty -seven years. Philip Cook, father of the 
 late Constant Cook, settled here with a retinue of slaves, it being law- 
 ful at that time to hold slaves in the state of New York. David 
 Loomis, Samuel Leggett, Cornelius Crouch, Liberty Chamberlain, Dan 
 Davis, John Larrowe and Lawrence Van Wormer were all early settlers 
 in and about Liberty. 
 
 Abram Lent was the first settler on Lent Hill, locating there in 18 10. 
 He married Betsey, the oldest daughter of Samuel Hartwell, who was a 
 nephew of Roger Sherman. Mr. Hartwell 's wife was Elizabeth Wil- 
 kinson, a sister of the celebrated Jemima Wilkinson, " the prophetess." 
 Samuel Hartwell passed through many adventures during the war of 
 1812. He was taken by the British and carried to Kingston where he 
 was confined in jail. He succeeded in breaking out, and made his es- 
 cape to the United States. He made his way to Jerusalem, in Yates 
 county, the home of his sister-in-law, Jemima Wilkinson, and afterward 
 moved to North Cohocton. From 18 15 to 1830 he kept hotel there as 
 before stated. This was the second hotel in the place, and was after- 
 ward kept for many years by his son Elijah. 
 
 Matthew Hatch with his two sons, Philip and Sylvanus, settled on 
 Lent Hill about 181 3. Matthew Hatch died at Lent Hill, and was the 
 first person buried in the Hatch burying-ground. His son, Barnabas 
 C, removed to Jackson, Mich., where he became judge of the county 
 court and a member of the state legislature for that district. He died

 in 1874. John C. and Thomas Bowles were early settlers of Cohocton, 
 and some of their descendants are still residents of the town. 
 
 Jared Barr settled at Trippknock — the corners west of Cohocton — 
 about the year 1 807 . Afterwards the Tripps — Charles and family — 
 settled there and kept a hotel. They were noted wrestlers and boxers, 
 and probably from this came the peculiar name of the place. It is said 
 that the cognomen was first applied to it by Ben Haight, commonly 
 called "Crazy Ben," who, on one occasion, got rather roughly handled 
 at Tripp's tavern. 
 
 Gideon Potter, St., and Anthony Crosby were the first settlers on 
 Potter Hill. Job and Benjamin Briggs settled farther west. At Brown 
 Hill, John Brown and his sons William, Abram. Manville, Sylvanus 
 and Richard were the first settlers. James Armstrong settled on the 
 place where he resided for many 3 r ears, in 18 15. He came with his 
 father, Martin Armstrong., and two brothers and two sisters. Benja- 
 min S. Hoagcame here from Montgomery county in 1814. Jacob Ryn- 
 ders, from Massachusetts, settled on the William Miller farm in 1839. 
 Richard Crouch, from Connecticut, settled on the Joel Crouch farm in 
 1815. 
 
 Early Items. — The first school taught in the town was by Sophia 
 Trumbull, in the house originall}- built by Jonas Cleland, on the Lar- 
 rowe place. The first school -house was a log building, and was erected 
 near the river on the Dusenbury farm about 18 10. The first tannery 
 was built by William Walker about 1 8 1 6 , and was located a mile and a 
 quarter below Cohocton. This tannery was operated about twenty-five 
 years, and was an important establishment in the early settlement of 
 the county. Later, a tannery was established by Richard Treneman, 
 on the site of the old woolen-mill formerly owned by Fredmore & 
 Dance. Soon after the Cleland grist-mill was in operation, Rudolphus 
 Howe, grandfather of the present proprietors of the " Prattsburgh 
 News," and Jonathan Danforth of Saratoga, bought an acre of land of 
 Jonas Cleland and erected the first distillery in the town. Latterly Mr. 
 Cleland owned an interest in this distillery, and it continued in opera- 
 tion until about 1833. There was once a brewery at Trippknock, in 
 which Paul C. Cook and Daniel H. Davis owned an interest. 
 
 In 1823, a saw -mill was built on the site of the Hoag mill, by Gabriel 
 Dusenbury and his sons Seth and John, about 1842. Stoning & Brown 
 converted it into a paper-mill and continued to operate it very success- 
 fully for several 3'ears. Merritt H. Brown then retired, and his father, 
 Merritt Brown, and his brother Lucius conducted the mill until it was 
 destroyed by fire, together with a large dry house, about 1852. Benja- 
 min S. Hoag then bought the property and built a saw-mill upon the 
 site of the paper-mill. This was burned, and he built another which

 was also destroyed by fire in 1875. He then built another mill upon 
 the same site. From the tax roll for the year 1829, we find that there 
 were in the town of Cohocton, — then includingWayland — three hundred 
 and eighty one land owners who resided in the town and paid taxes on 
 from one-fourth of an acre to five hundred and forty-one acres. This 
 latter was the largest estate then owned by any resident of the town, 
 and belonged to Philip Cook. It was valued at $11.42 per acre, and 
 the tax assessed upon it was $1 1 .69. Warren Patchin owned four hun- 
 dred and nine acres in what is now Wayland. 
 
 Robert Parker, an elderly circuit preacher, in 1818 started from Lima 
 through Conesus, Sparta and Cohocton, at the latter place crossing the 
 river on a log leading his horse through the water. He visited Painted 
 Post, Horseheads, Newtown, Geneva and other places. The time re- 
 quired to make the circuit was three months ; and as a recompense for 
 his self denial and hardship he received an old watch and twelve dol- 
 lars in money.

 Joseph Shattuck, before mentioned, came from Massachusetts and 
 located on a farm at Pompey, Onondaga county in 1798. After 
 erecting buildings and making many improvements, he was superseded 
 in his claim by Conrad Bush, also a revolutionary veteran who had a 
 soldier's right to the same land. Mr. Shattuck had nine sons, the 
 youngest of whom Truman, was in college preparatory to en tiring the 
 university. When Mr. Shattuck found that he was compelled to 
 relinquish his improvements and seek a home elsewhere, he took his

 It is run by a twenty-five horse-power engine and its capacity for plan- 
 ing is 20,000 feet a day. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 The early settlers in the town of Cohocton were not at the time of 
 their settlement here, pious characters, and no attention for a consider- 
 able period was paid to religious worship. In 1802, when James Wood- 
 ard came into the town with a numerous family his wife being a mem- 
 ber of the Congregational church in the east, an improvement on some 
 of the former efforts to make a beginning was noticeable. Aruna 
 Woodard and his wife Hannah, united with the church at Naples. We 
 are told that there was not a sermon preached in the town until 1 807 . 
 In that year Elijah Parker and Stephen Crawford with their wives 
 moved into the town, and all of them being members of Congregational 
 churches, public worship was soon after commenced. In the month of 
 May, 1809, Rev. Aaron C. Collins visited this feeble band and preached 
 to them. In June following Rev. Abijah Warren preached to them, 
 •when the community engaged him to serve them one-third of the time 
 for a year. A Congregational church consisting of nine members was 
 organized by him, on October 8, 1809. The church had no connection 
 •with any ecclesiastical body until January 30, 1820, when it was 
 received under the care of the Presbytery of Bath, on the accommodat- 
 ing plan. After the labors of Mr. Warren closed — we do not know 
 whether he remained longer than one year — the church was in a low 
 state for a number of years. In 1818, Rev. Robert Hubbard appears 
 as pastor, though the date of his settlement is not given. In 1820 Rev. 
 William Stone officiated, and the following year Rev. Aaron C. Collins. 
 In 1823, Rev. Stathan Clary became pastor and remained in charge 
 until 1829 or 1830. The first church edifice was probably erected 
 tinder his ministry. The church was dedicated February 3, 1830. In 
 1833, the society was represented in the Presbytery by its delegates, and 
 thence forward assumed the form and order of the Presbs^terian church. 
 After Mr. Clary's pastorate ended, Rev.'s Linus W. Billington, Joseph 
 Crawford, Jeremiah Pomeroy, James H. Hodgkin, Sidney S. Brown 
 and others offciated as stated supplies for short seasons. In the sup-

 port of most of these the society had the assistance of the American. 
 Home Missionary Society. 
 
 Rev. I. Strough was pastor from 1850 until his death in June, 1854. 
 His successor was Rev. W. L. Andrews, who commenced his labors in 
 1S55. Hewas succeeded in 1856 D3- Rev. A. T. Wood, and Rev. J. 
 Woodruff followed in 1857. Rev. M. B. Gettson of the Naples Presby- 
 terian Church officiated as pastor from 1861 to 1872. Rev. C. B. Aus- 
 tin was installed pastor in 1872 and remained with the church till 1876. 
 September 1, 1878, the present pastor, Rev. John Waugh, began his 
 labors. Mr. Waugh celebrated last year — 1S90 — the fiftieth anniversary 
 of his ordination. 
 
 On January 31, 1S34, the church took the following decisive action : 
 
 ' ' Resolved, That this church admit none to its communion hereafter, 
 who are not or do not become members of the temperance cause at the 
 time of their admission . ' ' 
 
 A few years later — in the winter of 1S37-3S — the spirit of fanaticism 
 reached its height, as is shown by the following: 
 
 ''Mrs. — : Conn, who had been a member of the church a num- 
 ber of years, and highly esteemed by some, at least, as a women of 
 piety and activity in promoting the cause of Christ, began to take a very 
 conspicuous part in the meetings for social and religious worship. She 
 professed to have special communications from God, and to know the 
 secrets of the hearts of those with whom she was conversant. She as- 
 sumed an authoritative position in the church, and gave out her direc- 
 tions as from God himself, denouncing as Irypocrites in the church all 
 who did not submit to her mandates. She predicted the speedy death, 
 in a most awful manner, of particular individuals who opposed her au- 
 thority , and manifested a most implacable rancor against all who did 
 not acknowledge her inspiration. Jn her proceedings she was assisted by 
 a young man, who for his misconduct had been excommunicated from 
 the church of Prattsburgh. A number of the members of the church of 
 Cohocton were carried away with this delusion, and acknowledged 
 Mrs. Conn as one under the inspiration of the Almighty. So com- 
 pletely were they infatuated, that they seemed to suppose that their 
 eternal salvation depended on the will of Mrs. Conn. They were ready 
 to obey all of her commands, and to assert as truth anything which she 
 should order. Some of them became permanently deranged, and one or 
 two families were nearly broken up. Nor was this delusion confined 
 wholly to the church of Cohocton. Mrs. Conn and her coadjutor went 
 into the county of Wyoming and some in that region were brought under 
 the delusion, and received her as a messenger sent from God. Whether 
 to view Mrs. Conn as an impostor, a wild fanatic, or a deranged person, 
 the writer will not assume the responsibility of determining. Many cir- 
 cumstances would favor the idea of imposture. The writer is informed 
 that she has become a maniac. This circumstancs may favor the idea 
 of mental aberration . But the consequences to the church were most 
 disastrous. For a season Mrs. Conn and her followers bore sway. 
 Nothing could be done in the way of discipline, and the church was com-

 pletely disorganized. After some time had elapsed, the members of the 
 church who remained steadfast, met together, re-organized the church, 
 adopted the Presbyterian mode of church government, and elected rul- 
 ing elders."* 
 
 M. E. Church of Cohodon. — This church was incorporated February 
 24, 1829. The following year a subscription was circulated for the pur- 
 pose of erecting a chapel. The meetings of the society and trustees were 
 held chiefly at the house of Caleb Crouch until the completion of the 
 chapel. Rev. Samuel Bibbins presided at the first annual meeting 
 March 10, 1832, and is the first minister mentioned in the record. From 
 1839 to 1845 there are no meetings recorded. A new organization was 
 formed January 13, 1845. In 1873 this church was set off as a separate 
 charge called "Liberty Charge," to which the society at Loon Lake 
 was attached, and so remained until 1877, when it was dropped and 
 Wallace attached. Wallace was dropped in 1878 and Lent Hill at- 
 tached. The church edifice was remodeled and enlarged in 1872. 
 Present membership eighty, value of church property $3,000. The pres- 
 ent pastor is Rev. George S. Spencer, who in years past, has been a 
 most indefatigable laborer in Y. M. C. A. work. 
 
 First Unhcnalist Church of Cohodon .—Among the earliest settlers of 
 Cohocton there were many of the more respectable and influential citi- 
 zens who believed in the doctrine of the final salvation of all men. Af- 
 ter the Methodist Episcopal church was built — which was by the united 
 means of all denominations with the express understanding and agree- 
 ment that it was to be free to all denominations — they worshipped there 
 until about 1858, when, upon going to the church one morning, found 
 themselves locked out. A meeting was held in September, 1859, and a 
 regular organization formed. Enough money was pledged to warrant 
 commencing a new church building, which was commenced in the sum- 
 mer of i860, and dedicated in September, 1863. No regular services are 
 now held in this church. 
 
 St. Piics Roman Catholic Church. — Rev. Michael Steger was the first 
 missionary priest who officiated here with a view to erecting a church 
 edifice. The present church was built in 1861. There are eighty fam- 
 ilies connected with this parish. A parochial school, under the super- 
 vision of the resident priest, is taught by two Sisters of Mercy. The 
 average daily attendance of pupils is sixty. Rev. Adolph Geyer, the 
 present priest, was born in Germany, August 25, 1855. He was edu- 
 cated at Hanover, and after his arrival in this country in 1873, pursued 
 his theological studies at Grand Seminary, Montreal. He was ordained 
 in 1883, and has been pastor of the church at Cohocton since 1888.

 ton, near the depots. The building is a plain wooden structure, 30x40 
 feet, and was erected by this society, which separated from St. Paul's

 Methodist Episcopal Church of North Cohocton and Bloods. — So far as 
 can be ascertained; the first Methodist sen-ices were held in this part of 
 the town in 1816, by Rev. Mr. Afgate and Rev. Micah Segar. The 
 present membership is one hundred and fifty-five, value of church prop- 
 erty, $5,000. 
 
 M. E. Church of Le?it Hill. — About 1831 a class was formed on Lent 
 Hill by Rev. Mr.Norris,and worshipped in a log school house un til the 
 erection of a church building in 1834. The societ}' was known as the 
 First Union Society of Cohocton and Prattsburgh. 
 
 CORNING* township embraces the territory that remained of the 
 original township of Painted Post in 1852, in which year the name 
 of the town was changed to Corning in honor of Erastus Corning, 
 Sr., a distinguished citizen and merchant of Alban}', N. Y. and the 
 first president of the Corning Company which founded the prosperous 
 city that now bears his name.. 
 
 This town also contains a "gore" of several hundred acres taken from 
 the southeast corner of the town of Hornby and is township Xo. 2 in 
 Range 1 of the county of Steuben. It is bounded on the north by 
 Hornby, east by the west line of Chemung county, south by Caton and 
 by the town of Erwin on the west. The town contains 22,400 acres. 
 The city, 1800 acres. 
 
 The surface of the town is divided from northwest to southeast into 
 two unequal upland portions by the valley of the Chemung river, the 
 portion on the northeast side being considerably larger and more valu- 
 able than are the uplands on the opposite side of the river. The prin- 
 cipal streams emptying into the Chemung river on its northerly side are 
 the Borden, Post, Narrows and Winfield creeks; on the opposite side 
 Monkey-run and Steel's creek are the chief streams. As an agricul- 
 tural region this town is not above a general average of Steuben county. 
 The first settlements within the present limits of the town were made by 
 Frederick Calkins, and Ephraim Patterson and his son Ichabod in 1789.

 Mr. Calkins erected his cabin on the south side of the Chemung 
 river, opposite the Chimney narrows. The following spring Calkins, 
 Caleb Gardner, Ephraim Gardner, Justus Wolcott, Peleg Gorton and 
 Silas Wood bought what is now Corning — except the "gore" taken 
 from Hornby — of Nathaniel Gorham and Oliver Phelps, the deed being 
 executed May 10, 1790. 
 
 All of these proprietors except Wood took possession of their lands as 
 early as 1792. A part of Corning city now stands upon the Calkins 
 farm, known as lot No. 14. On March 15, 1792, Caleb Gardner, Ephraim 
 Patterson and others reconveyed to Oliver Phelps ten thousand and forty 
 acres of the lands purchased of Phelps and Gorham, and on April 4th 
 that year Peleg Gorton reconveyed to Phelps two thousand acres which 
 were not to include any flat lands. 
 
 After the purchase of their tract these proprietors had it surveyed by 
 John Konkle and it was apportioned among them by Brenton Paine and 
 Elijah Buck in 1792. All of the parties were not satisfied with the 
 division of the lands and the questions in dispute were submitted in 
 1 80 1 to William Jenkins, Eleazer Lindsley and John Handley for ar- 
 bitration. Their report left the original division undisturbed, but 
 awarded certain sums to be paid to some of the proprietors as compen- 
 sation for difference in the values of the respective parcels. 
 
 Afterward these original proprietors sold and conveyed several large 
 tracts of land in different sections of the township, which are now known 
 as the Smith and Lenox tract containing three thousand and two hundred 
 acres in the southwest corner of the town; and the Steele and Furman, 
 the Gorton and the Lowe and Hallock tracts on the north side of the 
 river. There are also the eight-hundred acre Steele and Furman tract 
 and the "mile square" on the southerly side of the river, in the south- 
 east part of the town . 
 
 Early Items. — The first grist-mill in the town was built on Post creek 
 by a Mr. Payne and Colonel Henderson in 1793. The first store was 
 opened in 1795 by Benjamin Eaton. The store was situated near the 
 present point of intersection between Bridge and Pulteney streets in the 
 5th ward (Knoxville). In 1796 Colonel Williamson commenced the 
 erection of a large two-story framed building upon a parcel of land af- 
 terward known as the Jennings farm. This was the first two-story 
 framed house in town , and was long known as the Jennings tavern — 
 John Jennings having purchased it of the Pulteney estate in 18 13, and 
 he kept a tavern there until he died, in 1834. This building is still in. 
 a good state of preservation , and has for many years belonged to Rob- 
 ert Sly, Esq., of Knoxville. 
 
 Knoxville, now the 5th ward of Corning city, was founded by and 
 named after the Hon. John Knox, who came to the place in 1795. He

 was an active citizen, and his stirring life was of great usefulness to the 
 community in which he lived. He kept a public house, situated a 
 short distance east of the Jennings tavern, and it was in his hotel that 
 the original Painted Post Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons met and 
 nourished until 1827. 
 
 In 1805 Ansel McCall erected a saw and grist-mill upon the site af- 
 terward occupied by the Hammond & Johnson mills, on the south side 
 of the river below the canal dam. 
 
 In 1824 or '25 Judge Thomas McBurney laid out that portion of his 
 farm where Centerville now is, into village lots, and having set up a 
 high post he claimed it as the site of the original Painted Post, and 
 named his village in embryo accordingly. For a number of years this 
 was a place of much business activity, and quite a large number — for 
 those days — of enterprising and influential men settled there. 
 
 Philo P. Hubbell, John Arnot and H. H. Matthews, Charles L. Mills 
 Charles E. Osborn, and the late Judge Thomas A. Johnson either 
 lived at Centerville or had important business interests there. 
 
 The first school was taught in Judge McBurne3 r 's new village by An- 
 sel J. McCall, an accomplished scholar and lawyer, now living at Bath, 
 in this county. 
 
 Upon the completion of the Chemung canal in 1833, Knoxville and 
 Gibson, a hamlet across the river from Corning city, became important 
 shipping points by being placed at the head of inland navigation in 
 this section of the state. The abandonment of that canal by the state 
 withdrew from these places business advantages which for a time seemed 
 likely to inflict an injury upon their prosperity and growth from which 
 they might not recover; but during the past eight j-ears Knoxville has 
 grown rapidly for a rural village of its size, and Gibson shows eviden- 
 ces of decided enterprise and thrift. Within the last ten \ r ears Knox- 
 ville has nearly doubled its population, and in 1888 its inhabitants 
 erected an elegant brick school building, and established a graded Un- 
 ion School. The population of Knoxville (now 5th ward), is about 
 fifteen hundred, and a large number of residences and some other build- 
 ings have been erected this year. Knoxville was never surveyed or 
 plotted as a village by that name. The land between Pulteney street 
 and the Chemung river was first laid out into lots and streets that were 
 known as Port Barton. Afterward additions, such as " Robinson's Ad- 
 dition," the " Judson Plot," etc., were added. 
 
 The building of the D., U. & W. Railroad in 1881, gave new life to 
 Gibson, and the people of that place also erected a very respectable 
 school house in 1887, which has since been enlarged. In its general 
 aspect Gibson has materially improved within the last few years. 
 
 In 1888 the N. Y. L. E. & W. Railroad Co. erected a depot, and a 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 255 
 
 R. R. station and post-office were established at East Corning, near the 
 east side boundary line of the township . On the southwestern side of 
 the Chemung river, about two miles below the village of Corning is a 
 hamlet known as Brown's Crossing. Here there are shops, a grocery 
 store and beautiful county homes, — such as those of the Brown's, 
 Captain S. S. Erwin's, C. K. Wickes' and others whose occupants are 
 to be envied by any person who covets the comforts and repose of rural 
 life. 
 
 The highway from East Corning station on the Erie railroad to the 
 west side line of Chemung county, in its grade and smoothness resem- 
 bles a boulevard rather than an ordinary country road, and for a dis- 
 tance of about one and a half miles it presents one of the most beautiful 
 spectacles of rural scenery in Steuben county. The residences and grounds 
 of Lucius G. Turtle, the late John Storms, J. M. Burt, and more es- 
 pecially those of Mrs. H. B. Noyes and Messrs. A. D. and L. G. Huy 
 are ' ' kept and tended ' ' with a taste and care that would not discredit 
 the best streets of a provincial city. A considerable area in the northeast 
 corner of this town was ' ' taken up ' ' and has been greatly improved by 
 the Martin's, Matthew's, Canfields, Roses and other families who came 
 from Tompkins county nearly or quite fifty years ago. In the south- 
 western part of the town the Barnard's, Frenches and Wilcoxes made 
 settlements and valuable improvements at about the same time. The 
 completion of the Chemung canal in 1833 placed the people of Che- 
 mung and Steuben counties in the state of New York, and those of 
 Tioga and Bradford counties in Pennsylvania in more profitable rela- 
 tions with Albany, and by way of the Hudson river with the commer- 
 cial possibilities of the great western metropolis and the ' ' outside 
 world." 
 
 The late Erastus Corning about that time foresaw that they who 
 would be first to develop the coal and other mineral interests of Penn- 
 sjdvania would reap large and lasting benefits. 
 
 In consultation with the successful financier, the late Thomas W. 01- 
 cott, it was determined to organize the Corning Company in 1835. They 
 and their associates Joseph Fellows, Hiram Bostwick, Ansel Bascom, 
 Bowen Whiting, William A. Bradley and Levin I. Giliss bought about 
 three hundred and fortyacres of land embraced in the corporate limits 
 of the city of Corning. 
 
 It having been ascertained that a railroad could be built from their town 
 site to Blossburg and the coal conveyed thereby cheaper than by any 
 other means, the company obtained a charter for a railroad to the state 
 line at Lawrenceville, where they were met by enterprising Pennsyl- 
 vania parties with a railroad connecting them with the Blossburg coal 
 region. 
 
2,6 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 The first locomotive that traversed the Tioga valley in 1839 gave to 
 the village of Corning not only a certificate of existence but a good pros- 
 pect for a prosperous future. 
 
 The place had received its name in 1836, John A. Parcell and some 
 other families had settled here in 1837-8 ; but it was the completion of 
 the Blossburg railroadthatgaveto the city the guarranty of success that 
 has since attended it. 
 
 It was this that induced such enterprising citizens and capitalists as 
 Col. H. W. Bostwick, Dr. William Terbell, Thomas A. Johnson, the 
 Mallorys, Xelson Somers, H. G. Phelps, George T. Spencer, Hiram 
 Pritchard, B. \V. Payne and many others distinguished for their energy 
 and thrift to locate here at about that time. 
 
 In 1S40 a printing office was opened and a newspaper called the "Cor- 
 ning and Blossburg Advocate," was published by Charles Adams. 
 
 In 1841 and 1842 there was somewhat of aset-back for the then 3'oung 
 village, occasioned b) - the financial depression which was general through- 
 out the whole country : but from 1842 to 1849 the ranks of the business 
 men of Corning were re-inforced by an active, thorough-going class of 
 men who gave a new impetus to its business, and late in the latter year 
 the Erie railroad was completed to this place and Corning stood third 
 on the list of inland shipping points in the state of New York. 
 
 The ' ' Corning Journal ' ' had been est' Wished by Thomas Messenger 
 in 1846 and in 1S51 the paper passed into the hands of A. W. McDowell 
 and Dr. George W. Pratt. In the latter year the Dickinson House and 
 Concert Hall were completed and the village contained about three 
 thousand inhabitants. 
 
 The petition for the incorporation of the village of Corning was made 
 on August 31, 1848, and was granted by the Hon. David McMaster, 
 count\- judge, September 6th, following. 
 
 William Hood, John P. Shapley and S. T. Hayt were appointed in- 
 spectors of an election held to take the views of the electors upon the 
 question of incorporation. 
 
 The election was held October 25, 1848; and the vote stood one hun- 
 dred and eighteen in favor of to five against it. The first charter elec- 
 tion occurred January 12, 1849, and Horace G. Phelps, Lauren Mallory. 
 G. T. Spencer, Aaron H. Foster, and James S. Robinson were chosen 
 the first board of trustees. At the first meeting of the board Mr. Mal- 
 lory was elected president and Thomas Messinger, clerk. 
 
 The village in 1S51 had a population of rather more than three thous- 
 and inhabitants, good schools were in operation, its pulpits were well 
 supplied, competent physicians had located here and the place was sup- 
 pled with almost every resource requisite for an enterprising business town . 
 
 In 1S50 the Buffalo and Cohocton railway was projected, and such

 men as John Magee and Constant Cook were enlisted in the enterprise. 
 This project was only fairly inaugurated when the Hon. John Magee 
 took possession of the old Blossburg road in 1851. The latter step 
 taken by Mr. Magee led to developing the vast coal regions, since then 
 and now operated by the Arnot, Morris Run and Fall Brook Com- 
 panies. 
 
 During the decade from 1840 to 1850 the ranks of Coming's business 
 men were re-inforced by an active and successful class of citizens who 
 seem to the present observer to have been the founders and makers of 
 its resources and importance. Among them were C. C. B. Walker, S. 
 T. Hayt, William M. Mallory, E. P. Rogers, B. W. Payne and Daniel 
 D. Comstock. 
 
 In 1833, Nichols & Hayt came here from Ithaca, N. Y., and bought 
 the mill property of Rufus Gorton, a son of one of the original proprie- 
 tors of the township. That property was known as the "Hammond 
 and Johnson place" and situated in the southeast corner of the city, 
 was then spoken of as the the "Mills." 
 
 At this place there was in 1834 a grist-mill, a saw-mill, carding and 
 cloth-dressing shop and dye house, and several dwellings. The pro- 
 prietors Messrs. Nichols and Hayt lived in a large double house of two 
 stories and basement. Ward Haviland was the miller, and Anson 
 Tiffany was the head sawyer. This mill property has been in use from 
 an early day, the pond being fed by a brush dam a little above the place 
 where the state or canal dam was afterward built. 
 
 The first mill owner was Ansel McCall. Mr. McCall came to this 
 region from Trumansburg, N. Y., in 1802. Prior to the last date, there 
 had been a log grist-mill — mentioned elsewhere — at the mouth of Post 
 Creek near the west end of the Chimney Narrows, but that mill had no 
 bolting apparatus, and the grain ground was only " chopped," hence 
 each family had to sift out the flour and meal for itself. 
 
 A daughter of Ansel McCall became the wife of General Francis E. 
 Erwin, of the town of Erwin, and was the mother of Capt. Samuel S. 
 Erwin who resides upon a beautiful farm about one mile south-east of 
 Corning city. A new saw-mill was built at the " Mills," and the 
 property was otherwise much improved soon after it was bought by 
 Nichols & Hayt, and for ten years after the organization of the Corn- 
 ing Company, the Mills was a place of much business and social con- 
 consequence. Each member of the firm of Nichols and Hayt had 
 several children. But Mr. James Nichols only remained here until 
 1836, when he moved to Newfield, Tompkins county, from whence he 
 removed to Albany, N. Y., where he resided until his death. 
 
 Within the present limits of Corning city on the south side of the 
 river, there were in 1834, only seven dwellings. 
 
258 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 In a house near the Knoxville bridge David Mallory resided, his 
 brother Lauren owned the farm, and had for those days, and imposing 
 residence near where State street crosses the tracks of the C. C. & A. 
 Railroad. Both of these houses have been torn down within a few 
 years. 
 
 About a half a mile easterly upon the farm then owned by W. A. 
 Bradley of Washington, D. C, was a dwelling, in which John Wolcott 
 lived. Near the Bradley house on the river bank, a warehouse was 
 built in 1834, upon the site now occupied by C. G. Denison. A few 
 rods east of the warehouse, James Calkins lived. James was a son of 
 Frederick Calkins, who came here in 1789, and he was the first white 
 child born in the township. About eighty rods easter^ from the store- 
 house Ben Gaskell lived in a log house near the bank of the river. 
 
 The highway there turned to the south and ran past the ' ' old red 
 house " built by Frederick Calkins about the 3-ear 1800. The next 
 house was occupied by Smith Calkins, and Benjamin Marcy lived not 
 far from the present junction of Third and Mill streets, near the "old 
 burying ground." 
 
 The Corning Company was formed in 1835, at Albany, N. Y. It 
 consisted of Erastus Corning, Thomas W.-Olcott, Joseph Fellows and 
 others. Hiram \V. Bostwick soon after came here from Morris, Otsego 
 county, N. Y., to be the attorney and agent of the company. 
 
 Several farms had been purchased, and they were surveyed and laid 
 out into building lots upon a map headed, " City of Corning." The 
 Corning House, a large wooden building of two stories and a basement, 
 was built in the fall of 1836, where the Dickinson House now stands. 
 A block of four wooden stores was built the same 3-ear, on Tioga ave- 
 nue nearly opposite the warehouse now occupied by C. G. Denison. 
 The Bank of Corning was chartered in 1840. Hiram W. Bostwick was 
 president, and P. J. Mallory its first cashier. After the death of P. J. 
 Mallory, Laurin Mallory was the cashier until the bank closed business. 
 
 Biographical. 
 
 Frederick Calkins was a native of the state of Yermont. In the sum- 
 mer of 1789, he located on land in the present town of Erwin, near where 
 the Erie railroad bridge crosses the Conhocton river, and commenced 
 clearing a farm. But being apprised that he was on land that had that 
 year been purchased by Col. Arthur Erwin, he withdrew, and in the 
 autumn of that year erected his cabin on the south side of the Chemung 
 river as we have before stated, opposite the Chimney Narrows. The 
 following spring he became one of the original purchasers. 
 
 Ephraim Patterson was a son of John Patterson and grandson of 
 Andrew Patterson of Hamilton. Scotland, who is said to have been ban- 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 259 
 
 Ished on account of non-conformity to the established church, came to 
 this country in 1685, and died at Stratford, Conn, in 1746. Ephraim 
 Patterson married Sarah Chandler, in Cornwall, Conn. Their children 
 were Ichabod; Stephen; Luther; Erastus; Lorraine; Mary; Hannah and 
 Betsey. 
 
 After the purchase of this township was made, Ephraim, with his 
 son Ichabod came from New Lebanon, Conn, and located here. Ichabod 
 married a Miss Hayden. Their children were Matthew; Jemina, (Mrs. 
 John McBurney); and Mrs. Dr. Hoyt. Matthew Patterson married Re- 
 becca Erwin, of Northumberland, Pa. Of their children who arrived at 
 maturity were S. Harriet; Robert and Rowley. Ichabod Patterson died 
 when his son Matthew was but eight j^ears of age. The latter was fairlj' 
 educated, taught school, and was for some years employed in the 
 land office at Canandaigua. In 1823, he settled in Sparta, Livingston 
 c ounty where he built two saw-mills and engaged extensively in lum- 
 bering and farming. He afterward moved to Dansville. Parthenia, 
 a daughter of John Patterson, married Col. George McCulloch. Their 
 children were Mary; Lucretia; Caroline; George and Nanc) r . The lat- 
 ter married David Mallory and the children born of this union were 
 Cordelia, who died at an early age, Caroline and Amelia, (Mrs. Pliny 
 Rouse) . 
 
 Peleg Gorton was born in Rhode Island. When twelve years of age 
 his parents removed to Stephentown in Rensselaer county, N. Y. He 
 came here and located his purchase, but never resided here, as he was 
 killed soon after his return by a run-away team. Most of his sons, 
 however, settled here, and a goodly number of his descendants yet re- 
 main. His sons were Peleg, Jr., Rufus, Benjamin, Moses, Russell, 
 Stephen, Silas and Samuel, a physician. His daughters were^Dorcas, 
 Polly, Abigail and Sally. Peleg, Jr. , Rufus, Benjamin and Moses came 
 here about the year 1797, and before the other members of the family 
 and planted corn and potatoes on the river flats, a small portion of 
 which had been cleared previous to the settlement of the whites. They 
 built a log house which stood near the present residence of Mrs. Eliza 
 Gorton. 
 
 Hon. John McBurney was born in Northampton county, Pa., Au- 
 gust 29, 1796. His father, Thomas McBurney, emigrated from North- 
 umberland county to Steuben about the year 1800, and purchased the 
 D. W. Fuller farm in this town. At once he became a prominent man 
 of the county, and was appointed sheriff in 18 12, and four years later 
 was appointed first judge of the court of common pleas. He died in 
 1828. In 1832 John McBurney was elected amemberof assembly from 
 this county, and again in 1853. He died August 7, 1867. 
 
 Capt. Joseph Gillett was a farmer by occupation and one of the 
 
26o TOWN OF CORNIXG. 
 
 prominent men of the old town of Painted Post. He was magistrate 
 for fourteen consecutive years, also a supervisor of the town. He was 
 a soldier of the war of 1812. Mr. Gillett died September 29, 1848. 
 
 John Sly was born in Virginia, April 29, 1790, In 1809 he came to 
 Newtown (Elmira) and was soon followed by his father, George Sly. 
 The father of the latter had purchased a farm at Newtown and George 
 Sly settled upon it. About 18 15 John Sly came to this town and rented 
 the John McBurney farm for two years. A train of misfortune, followed 
 his first efforts here. The first year (1816) the crops failed on account 
 of the coldness of the season , and in 1 8 1 7 his crops were destroyed by a 
 flood. Subsequently his house and all its contents were destroyed by 
 fire. George Sly lost his property at Newtown and followed his son 
 here. John Sly married Betsey, daughter of John Jennings, born 1789, 
 by whom he had two children, George, born March 2, 18 15, and Robert 
 J.,born July 6, 1817. 
 
 William E. Gorton, the first mayor of Corning, was born in the vil- 
 lage of Corning, October 19, 1854. Alonzo H. Gorton, father of William 
 E., was born in Corning — then Painted Post — May 18, 1828. His 
 grandfather, Rufus Gorton, was a pioneer settler and one of the origi- 
 nal proprietors of the township. He was a man of great energy and 
 much ability. Samuel Gorton, the grandfather of the subject of this 
 sketch, was born in 1802, and married Sarah Ann Daley of Millport, 
 Chemung county, N. Y. The youth of A. H. Gorton was mostly spent 
 in the state of Michigan, but soon after reaching his majority he re- 
 turned to his native town of Corning. He was a pattern-maker, car 
 builder, etc, and in i860 entered into the employment of the Fall 
 Brook Coal Company. 
 
 His advancement was rapid, and in four years he became the super- 
 intendent of the C. C. & A. railroad. As the Fall Brook Company ex- 
 tended its business, Mr. A. H. Gorton was continuously promoted, and 
 several years before his death he became the general superintendent of 
 the entire system of railroads operated by this great corporation. 
 
 In 1850 Alonzo H. Gorton was married to Miss Maria Louise Alex- 
 ander, daughter of Thomas Alexander, of Ann Arbor, Michigan. 
 Their only surviving child is William E. Gorton. He graduated at the 
 Corning Free Academy in 1872. Soon after this he completed a thor- 
 ough course of instruction at a business college at Poughkeepsie, N.Y., 
 and then entered the State Norman School at Mansfield, Pa. 
 
 From his earliest childhood he was a very active, wide-awake lad 
 and when he was only eight years of age he went about the adjacent 
 country with distinguished speakers to attend the recruiting meetings 
 held to induce soldiers to enlist in the Union arm}-. At this early age 
 he was known as the "Drummer Boy of the Southern Tier," and he

 now frequently meets an aged veteran who clasps him by the hand and 
 exclaims: "Ah, Mr. Mayor, I have not forgotten our drummer boy of 
 1863—64." 
 
 Having studied medicine with the elder Dr. Updegraff, of Elmira.N. 
 "V., Mr. Gorton received the degree of M. D. in New York city in 1878. 
 Although greatly interested in the study of medicine, he has never en- 
 tered into active practice of the medical profession. 
 
 Soon after the completion of his scholastic education, he was pressed 
 into railroad service by the urgent advice of his father, who saw the 
 practical importance and opportunities pertaining to such pursuits. 
 
 He was soon promoted from a subordinate position to the important 
 post of assistant superintendent of the Fall Brook system of railways. In 
 this position he was brought into direct contact with nearly all of the 
 ■employes of the company, and the result of the first municipal election 
 held in the city of Corning attested the high estimation in which he 
 was held by the several hundred railroad and shop men, a large major- 
 ity of whom voted for him. 
 
 In 1885, Dr. Gorton, under a strong protest from the officials, re- 
 signed from the service of the Fall Brook Company, in order to enter 
 into business for himself. He soon after became a member of the rail- 
 road contracting firm of Griffin & Gorton, which operated largely and 
 successfully in the southern states. About a year after the formation 
 of this company he established the drug house of Gorton & Ter- 
 bell, an undertaking that has been attended with extraordinary suc- 
 cess. 
 
 In 1889 the Corning Iron Works were commenced with a working 
 force of fifteen men. In the brief period of two years , the business has 
 so increased that they now employ about one hundred operatives. Of 
 these works Mr. Gorton is the sole proprietor and general manager. 
 
 The brief mention of the foregoing business enterprises shows that 
 although he is still a young man, Mr. Gorton has been and is a hard 
 working and useful citizen. But the signing of the city charter in the 
 spring of 1890, by Governor Hill, brought Mr. Gorton into new rela- 
 tions with the people of Corning. 
 
 The first municipal election of Corning city was held April 4, 1890. 
 It was an occasion of intense excitement and supreme effort on the part 
 of the contending parties. 
 
 Mr. J. J. Tully, an estimable and popular citizen, had been elected 
 president of the village of Corning but a few weeks prior to the first city 
 contest, and the Republican party naturally nominated him as its can- 
 didate for mayor. The choice of a candidate for this office by the op- 
 position to the Republicans, fell to William E. Gorton, and, after a 
 struggle which brought out the largest vote ever cast within the mu- 
 
262 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 nicipal limits, he was handsomely elected to be the first mayor of the 
 city of Corning. 
 
 The office of mayor of the "Crystal city" has no adequate pecuniary 
 compensation, and Mayor Gorton has spent many days and weeks in. 
 the discharge of his official duties for which he will receive no reward 
 save the satisfaction arising from a duty well performed. 
 
 He is now serving in the second year of this honorable and responsi- 
 ble position, and his administration has been characterized by such 
 marked ability and discretion that it has practically escaped public crit- 
 icism, even from those who opposed his election. The mayor of Corning 
 holds the office two years. About three-fourths of Mayor Gorton's 
 term has at this writing, (September, 1891 ), expired, and it is doubtful 
 if the city ever elects another executive officer whose official conduct 
 will provoke less opposition than his has done up to the present time. 
 
 In 1877 William E. Gorton and Miss Clara Belle Stevens were mar- 
 ried. Mrs. Gorton is the daughter of Peabody Stevens of Buffalo, and 
 a grand-daughter of the late John P. Mitchell, of Leroy, X. Y. They 
 have three children, — two daughters and one son — William E. Gor- 
 ton, Jr. 
 
 Oliver Rouse, one of the pioneer residents of the old town of Painted 
 Post, was born in Jericho, Vermont, May 22, 1790. He received 
 his education at Burlington and then engaged in the mercantile busi- 
 ness at Plattsburg, X. Y. He voluntarily shouldered his musket in 
 the battle of Plattsburg and helped to fight and win that memorable 
 battle. In 18 14 he married Sophia Xash and emigrated to the then 
 town of Painted Post. He was prominently connected with the con- 
 struction of the Chemung canal and in other enterprises to assist in the 
 development of the then infant Corning. He was a pronounced Whig 
 and a willing servant to his party whenever an opportunity for w r ork 
 presented itself. His death at the advanced age of ninety years was the 
 close of a busy and well spent life. His son Pliny A. Rouse was born 
 March 13, 1824, in the present town of Corning and here received an, 
 academic education. On October 31, 1865, he married Amelia Mallory.. 
 a daughter of David Mallory. The Mallory name is inseparable from 
 the early growth of Corning. Mrs. Rouse was a descendant on her 
 mothers side in the fifth generation from Andrew Patterson who w r as 
 banished from Scotland in 1685 by King James the Second, for his 
 Presbyterian doctrine, and, exiled from his native land, sought a home in 
 Connecticut in the same year. His great grandson and Mrs. Rouse's 
 great grandfather was Ephraim Patterson who was one of the original 
 purchasers of Corning township. Mr. Rouse during his lifetime has. 
 been actively engaged in various pursuits, principally farming. He has 
 been a staunch Republican since the party's birth and has been called 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 261 
 
 upon by his party to fill various offices of honor and trust. He has seen 
 Corning grow out of the forest into its present activity. Mr. Rouse has 
 one son, Reuben F., who is engaged in the railroad business and is the 
 present member of the Rebublican County Committee for the town of 
 Corning. 
 
 Fidelis Ferenbaugh came from Strasburgh in 1815, and landed 
 in Philadelphia. He subsequently moved to Dansville, Pa., and in 
 1824 came to this town and settled in Knoxville. When Judge Mc- 
 Burney laid out the plot of Centreville, Mr. Ferenbaugh purchased the 
 first lot. He lived there until his death, in 1850. He married Mary 
 A. Hoover. Their children were Fidelis, Valentine, Joseph, Benedict, 
 Charles, Elizabeth and John D. Mr. Ferenbaugh was a harness-maker 
 and continued in the business until his death. Some of his sons settled 
 on Post Creek in Hornby. 
 
 Hon. Stephen T. Hayt, son of Dr. John Hayt, was born in Patter- 
 sou, Putnam county, N.Y., June 5, 1822. His father was a physician by 
 profession, but was principally engaged in the lumber and milling bus- 
 iness. On May 1, 1833, his parents settled in Corning. Mr. Hayt has 
 been engaged in general mercantile business, and extensively in the 
 lumber trade. Since 1869 he has been engaged in the milling business, 
 and conducts one of the largest merchant mills in the county. In poli- 
 tics, Mr. Hayt is a Republican. He has held nearly all the important 
 offices of the town, beside count}- and state positions. He was for sev- 
 eral terms supervisor, and served twice as chairman of the board. He 
 was elected to the state senate in 1863, and again in 1865. In 1866 he 
 was elected canal commissioner and served three years. He has always 
 taken a deep interest in all that pertains to the welfare and growth of 
 Corning. 
 
 Dr. George W. Pratt was born in 182 1 at Milo, Yates county, N. Y. 
 The family removed to Painted Post— now Corning — in 1834. He be- 
 came editor and part owner of the ' ' Corning Journal "in 1 85 1 , and sole 
 owner and editor in 1853. Dr. Pratt is now the Nestor of the Steuben 
 count}- newspaper press. He was a Whig, and since the formation of 
 the party has been an ardent Republican. Dr. Pratt is widely known 
 and highly esteemed by his contemporaries of all parties. 
 
 John A. Parcell, son of Samuel and Mary (Woodruff) Parcell, was 
 born in New Jersey, May 15, 181 1. In the year following he removed 
 with his father to Ithaca. He early learned the trade of cabinet-maker. 
 In 1836 he came to Corning, and located a mile below the village at 
 Nichols & Hayt's mills, to wait until the village lots were surveyed 
 and put upon the market. At that place he opened a shop and re- 
 mained there two years. There were then but six houses within the 
 present city limits. One, a plank house, which stood not far from the 
 
264 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 river near Cedar street, was occupied by John Wolcott : James Calkins' 
 house, half log and half framed, stood a few rods east of Wolcott 's, 
 also near the river ; and another small log house near the river bank, 
 still east of Mr. Calkins', was occupied by a man named Overhiser. 
 There was a large house, painted red, which stood on Mill street just 
 below the bend of the road. At the upper end of the village near the 
 bridge were two framed houses owned by Laurin Mallory. Mr. Par- 
 cell built the first shop on Market street, near where Fuller & Gam- 
 man's shoe store now is. The only dwelling on the street pre- 
 vious to the erection of his was a one -story block of four or five 
 dwellings, put up by the Corning Company to afford a temporary 
 residence for new comers. He also built the first house on Erie avenue. 
 At that time there was no clearing south of his garden, the woods com- 
 ing up to his rear fence. He carried on an extensive furniture business, 
 and for man}' years was the only undertaker in the town. His establish- 
 ment was burned three times, he being a sufferer by each of the great 
 fires that visited this place. His father, Samuel Parcell, came to this 
 town from Ithaca in 1837, and bought a farm of two hundred acres at 
 Gibson, cleared a large portion of it and sold, buying afterward on the 
 south side. The cemetery was set off from this farm. Mr. Par- 
 cell, St., was born in New Jersey in 1776, and died here in 1852. 
 
 Hiram W. Bostwick was born in New Milford, Conn., August 28, 
 1802. At the age of sixteen he went to reside at Albany. In 1824 he 
 removed to Laurens, Otsego county, and in 1836 located at Painted 
 Post. He soon after came to this place as the attorney and agent of 
 the Corning Company. He became largely interested in various bus- 
 iness and manufacturing enterprises, and to him was largely due the 
 early prosperity of Corning. 
 
 Nelson Lockwood Somers was born at Butternuts — now Morris — 
 Otsego county, September 20, 1807. His early years were spent upon 
 his father's farm, and in mercantile business at Pultneyville, near Lake 
 Ontario. He returned to Otsego county and engaged in business in the 
 town of Otego, and later became manager for Col. Hiram Bostwick at 
 Laurens. For several years Mr. Somers was deputy sheriff of Otsego 
 countj r , but through the experiences of that office became so disgusted 
 with politics that he never again would accept office, though repeatedly 
 urged to do so. In the fall of 1836 he bought out his employer, and 
 bringing his goods and a supply of new stock, opened a general store 
 in Corning in a block which stood on Tioga avenue, east of Dickinson 
 House Square. After three or four years he sold out, and in partnership 
 with Samuel Cumpston engaged in the hardware trade, which they con- 
 tinued for a year when Mr. Somers sold his interest and embarked in 
 the lumber business, buying and shipping large quantities of lumber. 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 265 
 
 He continued in the latter business during most of his subsequent life. 
 Mr. Somers was always one of the foremost in matters of public enter- 
 prise and often sacrificed his private interests for the public good. For 
 a period of two years or more, he was associated with Mr. Melvin Clark — 
 now the superintendent of a western railroad — in the management of the 
 Corning House, and there are many who still remember and testify to 
 the wide-spread popularity of that hostelry during the years of Mr. Som- 
 ers' management. He labored hard to oganize and build Christ church 
 in this city, of which he was a faithful officer from it organization until 
 his death. Oftentimes in connection with his personal friend, the late 
 Hon. Thomas A. Johnson, did he give liberally of his private means to 
 sustain this society in its early struggles for existence among a people 
 strongly prejudiced against the forms and doctrine of the Episcopal 
 church. On May 7, 1838, he married Eliza A., daughter of the late 
 John Clark, of Cooperstown, and who has lived in Corning continuously 
 from that date. Mr. Somers retired from active business a few years 
 prior to his death, which occurred on September 20, 1886. 
 
 Laurin Mallory, son of Ebenezer and Eunice (Judson) Mallory, was 
 one of the progressive spirits in the earlier history of the present city of 
 Corning. He was born March 7 , 1789. Mr. Mallory was deeply inter- 
 ested in some of the most important movements toward progress in the 
 then infant town and was always willing to assist others. Mr. Mallory 
 was one of the foremost in pushing forward the Erie railway. In a word 
 he was public spirited and generous toward all . He diedfjune 13, 1861. 
 
 P. Judson Mallory, son of the above, was also prominent in the earl- 
 ier business interests of Corning. He was engaged principally in the 
 banking and mercantile business. He died at the early age of thirty 
 years. 
 
 David Mallory, brother of Laurin, was born December 3, 1797; mar- 
 ried Nancy McCulloch March 29, 1821. Their children were Cordelia 
 and Caroline L., deceased, and Amelia (Mrs. P. A. Rouse). Mr. Mal- 
 lory died December 3 , 1854. 
 
 Hiram W. Pritchard was born at Lawrenceville, Tioga county, Pa., 
 February 7, 18 18. When Mr. Pritchard became a resident of this place 
 there was no village, and only a few houses, one of which was framed; 
 hence he has seen the entire growth of the thriving city of Corning and 
 has been identified with its various interests. Mr. Pritchard is one of 
 the oldest residents of Corning. 
 
 Truman S. Pritchard, son of Hiram Pritchard, was bornin Lawrence- 
 ville, Pa., August 11, 1837. When less than a year old, his father 
 moved to Corning, where the subject of this memoir was educated with 
 the exception of some time spent at Lima Univershy. In April, 1861, 
 he engaged in the grocery trade which he subsequently sold and 
 
266 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 opened a hardware store. For ten years Mr. Pritchard has been chair- 
 man of the Republican county committee, and has also held the office 
 of canal collector and other minor offices. He is also prominent in the 
 Masonic fraternity, being at present Deputy District Grand Master. 
 
 Chester Fassett, born October 22, 1801, came from Salem, Washing- 
 ton county to this county in November, 1S37. He purchased a large 
 tract of land on Rose Hill where he settled for a time and sold his tract 
 to settlers. Subsequently he moved to Knoxville and assisted 
 in laying out the Knox farm into building lots. Mr. Fassett died Feb- 
 ruary 1 1, 1877. 
 
 Nelson Cowan was born at Spring Mills, now Springport, Cayuga 
 county, X. Y., July 2, 1817. He first came to Gibson in 1S36, and in 
 1S3S settled there. He was engaged in boating and in boat-building for 
 thirty years. He carried on his teat the first cargo cf coal that went 
 from Blossburg to Albany, consigned to Erastus Corning for the rolling- 
 mills at Troy, and also brought from there the first iron for the Corning 
 & Blossburg railroad. Previous to the building of the road the coal 
 was handled by teams from Blossburg. Mr. Cowan subsequently be- 
 came largely interested in coal-mining, in which business he continued 
 for twenty-five 3'ears, until February 18S9 when he disposed of his 
 interest to the Butler Mine Company. This was said to be one of the 
 largest transfers of mining property on record, and embraced what was 
 known as the Schooley and Boston purchase. From early life to March 
 1, 1SS9 Mr. Cowan was actively engaged in business. He was super- 
 visor of the town for four years during the war and paid to every soldier 
 from the town his bounty. During the war he had sixty-five canal 
 boats, and supplied the interior of the state with much of the coal then 
 used. On July 17, 1838, he married Emeline A. Whitney. Mrs. 
 Cowan died on January 30, 1889, and Mr. Cowan on June 25th, the 
 same year. 
 
 William A. Spencer was born in Nassau, Rensselaer county, N. Y., 
 July 29, 1818. Reared on a farm and educated in the common schools, 
 he continued to live in the east engaged in various pursuits until 1840, 
 when he located at Gibson where he has since resided, except for a 
 brief period when he lived in Corning. His business has been princi- 
 pally lumbering and boating. He was one of the proprietors of the 
 Gibson Barrel Company, which was established in 1868. Mr. Spencer 
 is a man, who, during his long residence here, has always held the con- 
 fidence and esteem of the community. For fourteen years he was a 
 magistrate, has been commissioner of highways, and has filled other 
 offices. While commissioner he built two bridges across the river — the 
 present Gibson iron bridge and one at Knoxville, which preceded the 
 present Knoxville bridge. He is at present postmaster at Gibson, hav-

 Olney, of Manlius, Onondaga count}', N.Y. 
 
 Dwight A. Fuller was born in Cazenovia, N. Y., June 28, 1815. His 
 early life was spent at New Woodstock, Madison county, where he 
 learned the trade of tanner, which he followed until his removal to 
 Corning in 1846. He immediately entered into the grocery business on 
 Market street, and continued in it until the large fire which occurred on 
 May 18, 1850, wiped out his property. The following year he entered 
 the hotel business. The Erie depot was then where the freight depot 
 is now located, and West Market street was then the principal hotel 
 point. The Western House, his first hotel, corner of State and Mar- 
 ket streets, was removed, and the Terrett House, a large hotel for those 
 days, erected. Mr. Fuller was its first proprietor. He remained there 
 until 1857, when he sold to E. Bannister, and moved to Illinois. He 
 remained there about one year in the commission business and again 
 returned to Corning. He then opened a grocery store in the Cowley 
 Block. In 1S60 President Buchanan appointed him postmaster, suc- 
 ceeding the late Hon. C. C. B. Walker. President Lincoln's adminis- 
 tration soon followed, and Col. C. H. Thomson was appointed in his 
 stead. Mr. Fuller was also one of the proprietors of the old Arcade. 
 In 1865 his eldest son, George W., purchased the Dickinson House, 
 and he assisted in the duties of running that hostelry until the farm 
 was purchased a few years later. His wife was Jane Merrick, of Mad- 
 ison county, who, with his two sons, George W. and Dwight L., sur- 
 vive him. Mr. Fuller died Ma>- 18, 1890. 
 
 Hon. Charles C. B. Walker was born in Drewsville, Cheshire county, 
 X. H., in 1824. In his seventeenth year Mr. Walker entered a hard- 
 ware store as clerk, in Palmyra, X. Y. In 1848 he became established 
 in the hardware business in Corning, with the firm name of Cumpston 
 & Walker, in addition to which he engaged in the lumber trade, which 
 he carried on with characteristic industry. His business enterprises be- 
 came intricate and varied in character. Canals, railroads, and public 
 building also engaged his attention, and the many contracts he took for 
 public works were always performed to the fullest satisfaction of the au- 
 thorities. In the spring of 1856 he was appointed postmaster of Cor- 
 ning. He was a delegate to the Democratic national conventions of 
 i860 and 1872. In 1861 Governor Morgan appointed him assistant 
 quarter-master general, with rank as colonel, and he was detailed to the 
 rendezvous at Elmira. At a meeting of the Democratic State Commit- 
 tee in 1 86 1, he was the only one who urged the policy of a union tick- 
 et, and in all the stirring incidents of the war, Colonel Walker was 
 found side by side with the most patriotic . He represented the twenty- 
 ninth congressional district in the United States congress, in which

 body he served on several important committees. He achieved honor 
 and fortune, and earned a wide-spread reputation and a legion of friends. 
 He died on January 26, 1888. 
 
 Henry Van Campen, grand-nephew of Major Moses Van Campen, 
 was born in Chemung, Chemung county, and came to Corning in 1850. 
 He was engaged in lumbering for many years, but on the breaking out 
 of the war was one of the first to enlist from Corning, entering the first 
 company of the 23rd Regt. in which he served until the close of the 
 war. Mr. Van Campen died in March, 1875. 
 
 George B. Bradley was born in the town of Greene, ccnnty of Che- 
 nango, N. Y., February 5, 1825. His ancestry came to that county 
 from Litchfield county in the state of Connecticut, about the year 1S00. 
 He became a member of the legal profession by his admission to the bar 
 at the cit}- of Oswego, in May, 1S48. He commenced practice at Addi- 
 son, Steuben county, in June of that year, and in the winter following 
 he went to Woodhull where he remained until the fall of 1852, when he 
 removed to Corning, where he continued the practice of his profession 
 and still resides. In 1858 he was unanimously nominated by the Demo- 
 crats of the twenty-eighth congressional district as their candidate for 
 representative. 
 
 The district being strong^ Republican he failed of an election. 
 In 1 87 1 he was nominated as a candidate for senator in the twenty- 
 seventh senatorial district and made a splendid run, crowding his com- 
 petitor very closely. 
 
 In 1872 he was appointed by Governor Hoffman a member of the 
 State Constitutional Commission of i872-'73, in which he served with 
 credit. In 1873 ne was again nominated for senator and elected by 
 twenty-five hundred majority. He was renominated in 1875 and 
 triumphantly elected. 
 
 In 1877 he was again nominated for the same position in his old dis- 
 trict. The Democrats were entirely satisfied with his past record but 
 the Greenback party in the meantime had been organized in the district 
 which drew largely from the Democratic party polling over five thou- 
 sand votes, the Republicans being thoroughly united he was beaten by 
 a small majority. In 1S78 he was nominated by the Democratic state 
 convention for judge of the court of appeals and was defeated. In 
 1883 he was nominated and elected as one of the justices of the 
 supreme court in the seventh judicial district, which was largel}- Re- 
 publican. In 1884 he was designated as one of the justices of the 
 general term of the fifth judicial department. In 1889 he was 
 appointed one of the judges of the second division of the court of 
 appeals which position he now fills with great credit. 
 
 Ouincy W. Wellington was born in Moriah, Essex county, N. Y.,

TOWN OF CORNING. 269 
 
 December 27, 1832. Mr. Wellington removed with his parents to Tioga, 
 Pa., in 1845. He engaged in business in Tioga, in 1852. Two years 
 later he came to Corning where he entered the office of the Erie com- 
 pany. In 1859 he entered the George Washington Bank, at Corning, 
 where he remained until September, 1862, when he, in company with 
 Samuel Russell, organized under the individual banking law of the 
 state with the name of Q. W. Wellington & Co.'s Bank. After four 
 years Mr. Russell withdrew his interest, and Mr. Wellington has since 
 been the sole owner of the bank. * 
 
 George Hitchcock was born in Morris, Otsego county, N. Y., April 
 27, 1822. He received such education as the common schools of his 
 day afforded, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen became a clerk in 
 a store, and subsequently engaged in the drug and grocery business. 
 In 1854 he moved to Bath and entered into the hardware trade. He 
 came to Corning in 1859, and was in the store of C. C. B. Walker for 
 eleven years. He has held the office of justice of the peace since 1872, 
 was elected police justice the same year and held the office until the 
 the adoption of the new charter. Mr. Hitchcock was president of the 
 village in 1869. 
 
 Very Rev. Peter Colgan was born in County Caren, Ireland, in 1823. 
 After reaching the proper age, he studied in the private schools of 
 Mount Nungent and Old Castle. Having attained a good business edu- 
 cation there. He then became a student in the diocesan seminary at 
 Naven. Finishing his course and reading logic for one year, he en- 
 tered the famous All Hallows missionary college at Dublin. In 1847, 
 learning from the "Annals of the Faith " that Buffalo, N. Y. had been 
 made into a diocese, with the saintly John Timon, M. C, as a bishop, 
 and that there were only eight English-speaking priests in the large ter- 
 ritory comprising the diocese of Buffalo, he resolved to go there to aid 
 Bishop Timon, arriving in Buffalo the latter part of 1848, towards the 
 close of the Irish rebellion. There he entered a little seminary kept in 
 the Bishop's house and finished his theological course under two very 
 eminent professors, one a Jesuit, Father Kober, and the other a Fran- 
 ciscan, Father Kunz. 
 
 In 1850, the St. Joseph's Cathedral congregation, in Buffalo, was 
 formed by the young priest, and he has since erected churches in James- 
 town, Dunkirk and other places. At Big Flats he built a church some 
 years ago, and but for his indomitable energy the town of Campbell 
 would now be without a church. In November, i860, when Father 
 Colgan came to Corning, he found his people poor and discouraged, 
 ready to start for new fields. Not more than five Catholics owned an 
 inch of land. A poor, dilapidated shanty of a church adorned the cor- 
 ner of the lot where St. Mary's church now stands, and the basement 
 
270 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 of the shanty was used for a school house. His efforts to persuade his 
 people to save their money and invest it in real estate proved success- 
 ful. He then went to the land owners of the village and asked for help 
 to build a respectable church, so he could induce the small congrega- 
 tion to remain. The parties appealed to donated a number of nice vil- 
 lage lots, and thus the cause was helped very much. He persuaded 
 the people to build homes, and to-day there is not a congregation in the 
 diocese of Buffalo so thrifty and enterprising as the Corning congrega- 
 tion. In 1866 the corner stone of St. Mary's church was laid by Right 
 Rev. Bishop Timon. ♦ 
 
 The next venture of Father Colgan was to purchase the state arsenal, 
 which was done in 1873, and he converted it into an orphan asylum. 
 In 1 88 1 he erected a handsome school building, which is a credit to the 
 city. Over four hundred scholars are now attending the school, in 
 charge of the Sisters of Mercy, who also have charge of the orphan 
 as3 _ lum. In 1886 the Salvation Army barracks was purchased and re- 
 modelled into a very nice and comfortable chapel for the people living 
 in the eastern part of the city. 
 
 Dean Colgan has always supported every good cause, and since the 
 inauguration of the Land League, himself and his people have given 
 large sums of monej' toward securing the liberty of down -trodden Ire- 
 land. 
 
 Franklin N. Drake was born in the town of Milton, Crittenden count}-, 
 Vt., December 1, 1817. At the age of fifteen he began a clerkship in 
 a drug store at LeRoy, N. Y. In the year 1840 he engaged in the hard- 
 ware and grocery trade in which he continued some fourteen years In 
 the spring of 1854 he purchased timber lands in Cohocton and began 
 the manufacture of lumber on an extensive scale, running six mills and 
 shipping his lumber to various northern markets. In 1866 he sold his 
 lumber interests in Cohocton, having previously, with several others, 
 purchased a tract of coal and timber land near Blossburg, Pa., built a 
 railroad and developed their land for coal and lumber purposes. He 
 was made the general superintendent of the Bloss Coal-Mining and 
 Railroad Company and in 1867 removed to Corning. The same year 
 the company bought the Tioga Railroad, and Mr. Drake was elected 
 president. He was also elected president of the Blossburg Coal Com- 
 pany. He organized the First National Bank of Corning, in May, 1882, 
 which is one of the most successful monetary institutions in the country. 
 Mr. Drake has been president of the bank since its organization. 
 
 Corning City. 
 
 Early in the spring of 1888 many citizens, most active of whom were 
 F. D. Kingsbury, H. C. Heermans, E. D. Mills, George W. Pratt and 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 27 1 
 
 F. R. Brown, commenced agitating the project to incorporate Corning 
 as a city. 
 
 Public meetings indorsing the movement were held at the court 
 house, and the text of a city charter was soon forwarded to Hon. Milo 
 M. Acker, the member of assembly from this district, at Albany. 
 
 A bill proposing to create a city out of the village of Corning and its 
 suburbs, was introduced by Mr. Acker in the assembly and passed both 
 houses of the legislature. On account of alleged clerical errors in the 
 act, Governor Hill declined to sign it and the attempt to obtain a city 
 charter that spring, failed. The undertaking was allowed to rest until 
 January, 1890, when it was renewed, and Messrs. E. D. Mills, G. W 
 Pratt and F. B. Brown were then its most outspoken and energetic ad- 
 vocates. The local opposition to the measure, which existed to a con- 
 siderable extent in 1888, had largely subsided and the second effort to 
 procure a city charter for Corning found the inhabitants practically 
 unanimous in its favor. The Governor approved the law and Corning 
 became a city, de facto, March 20th, 1890. 
 
 The city of Corning is bounded as follows: Beginning on the south 
 bank of the Chemung river and near the Erie R. R. bridge, at the west 
 line of the Corning Company's lands, thence southerly along said west 
 line to the southwest corner of block No. 146; thence easterly along 
 the south line of said block and through the center of Third street, to 
 the center of Fox street ; thence southerly along the center of Fox 
 street to the center of Fifth street; thence easterly along Fifth street to 
 the center of Lexington street; thence southerly in the line of Lexing- 
 ton street to the south line of block 151; thence from said south line of 
 block 151 in a straight line to the southwest corner of the farm of S. T. 
 Hayt, and thence along the south side line of Hayt's land and on the 
 north side line of Hope Cemetery and a continued straight line to the 
 middle of Chemung river. 
 
 Thence along the center of Chemung river to the east line of the 
 Bradley farm, now owned by Luman Conover; thence northerly along 
 the east line of said Bradley farm to the north line of the land of D. L. 
 & W. R. R. Company; thence westerly along the north line of said rail- 
 road to the west line of the land of John McBurney; thence northerly 
 on said McBurney 's west line to a point far enough north so that a 
 straight line drawn westerly will meet the east end of the highway run- 
 ning westerly along the north line of the lands of Blair, Robertson and 
 others, to the west end of said highway; thence northwesterly to the 
 highway leading to Hornby at its intersection with the highway lead- 
 ing to Painted Post; thence westerly along said last mentioned highway 
 to the west line of the " Dwight Fuller " farm; thence southerly along 
 the west side line of said farm to the the north line of Pulteney street — 
 
272 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 being the highway between ' ' Knoxville ' ' and Painted Post — and 
 thence southerly in a straight line across the Chemung river to the 
 place of beginning. These boundaries contain abont 1800 acres of 
 land. 
 
 First Election . — The public announcement, in March, 1890, that "the 
 Governor had signed the Charter," was hailed with many manifests" 
 tions of joy; the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, blowing of steam 
 whistles and shouts of the small boys, all attested the general satisfac- 
 tion of the people over the result. 
 
 In accordance with a provision in the new charter, the trustees of the 
 village of Corning immediately called an election to be held upon 
 April 2, and at which candidates for the following offices were elected, 
 viz.: a mayor, a recorder, a chamberlain, three assessors, two justices 
 of the peace, an overseer of the poor, a sealer of weights and measures, 
 and a game constable, also a supervisor from the 1st and 2d wards, a 
 supervisor from the 3d and 4th wards, a supervisor from the 5th ward, 
 and two aldermen and two inspectors of election from each one of the 
 five wards in the city. The excise commissioners, police commission- 
 ers, city attorney, city clerk, and street commissioner are appointive 
 offices. The 1st ward includes all of said city lying east of Columbia 
 street, extended north to Chemung river, and south to the south bound- 
 ary line of said city. The 2d ward includes all of said city south of 
 said river, lying between Columbia and Wall streets. The 3d ward 
 contains all of said city south of the river between Wall and Wal- 
 nut streets, and the 4th ward contains all of said city south of the river, 
 and west of Walnut street. The 5th ward includes all of the city north 
 of the Chemung river. 
 
 On the south side of the river, where the streets forming the princi- 
 pal boundaries of the wards upon the east and west, do not reach to the 
 river or to the south side line of the city, then said wards are bounded 
 by imaginary lines made by the extension of said boundary streets north 
 or south as the case may require.

 Corning is two hundred and ninety -two miles westerly of New York 
 city, one hundred and thirty- four miles easterly of Buffalo and ninety- 
 three miles south and east of Rochester. 
 
 It is a commercial center for the counties of Steuben, Yates and 
 Schujder in the state of New York, and for a considerable extent of 
 country in northern Pennsylvania. 
 
 When the village of Corning was incorporated in 1848 its population 
 was eight hundred and fifty. In 1880 this number had increased to be- 
 tween four and five thousand. In 1890 the census showed that the city 
 contained eight thousand five hundred and fifty inhabitants. Its pres- 
 ent population as indicated by school census, is about nine thousand 
 seven hundred. These figures prove that the growth of the place has 
 been regular and healthful, increasing steadily with advancing years . 
 The enhanced value of its real estate has kept pace with the numerical 
 increase of its people. The assessed value of its real property in 1870 
 was $913,860. In 1890 the aggregate assessment of the real estate in 
 the town and city of Corning exceeded $3,000,000. In 1891 the as- 
 sessed valuation of the city alone was $3,276,650. 
 
 The bonded debt of the city was created for railroads, bridge and sewer 
 purposes, and is in round numbers, about $100,000. Half of this sum 
 was expended for an extensive and necessary system of sewerage, which 
 is of great benefit to the health and comfort of the people. The Corn- 
 ing water works have no superior in this section of the state. They

 are now leased and operated by Messrs. Heermans and Lawrence, but in 
 1907 they will revert to the city and become the source of a handsome 
 yearly income to its treasury. Under the present management the 
 water works company furnish free, all the water needed by the city 
 for fire and other purposes. Upon the reversion of the system of water 
 works to the city, the city will possess a franchise of more value, than 
 its present indebtedness amounts to. The business portions of the 
 principal streets — Market and Pine — are well paved. 
 
 The Erie, C. C. & A., and S. G. & C. railroads have passenger and 
 freight depots in the city. The depot of the D. L. & \V. is a few rods 
 outside of the city's eastern boundary, at Gibson. Passengers are car- 
 ried to and from all regular trains upon this road, by omnibus free of 
 charge. 
 
 MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES . 
 
 The Fall Brook Coal Company, which operates and controls the C. C. 
 & A. and S. G. & C. railroads, has extensive shops and its general 
 offices at Corning. It gives employment to nearly eight hundred men. 
 The Corning Glass Works, Amory Houghton, Jr., president, and the 
 glass-cutting shops of D. T. Hawks & Co., and J. Hoare & Co. are 
 extensive establishments. Over eight hundred hands are employed in 
 this industry, and the "Works " is the largest plant of its kind in the 
 United States, if not in the world. The Hawkes' cutting shop lately 
 obtained the great distinction of receiving the " grand prize" for cut 
 and engraved glass at the Paris Exposition . 
 
 Among the other manufacturing industries in Corning worthy of es- 
 pecial mention are the Corning Stove Works, the furnace manuf actor y 
 of C. S. Hood & Co. and some others, more complete accounts of which 
 have been furnished us and will be found below.

TOWN OF CORNING. 275 
 
 cern covers a large area and is unequaled in the country in point of 
 •equipment and facilities for extended manufacture, the bulk of the 
 machinery being specially made and used exclusivel}"- by them, thus 
 attaining a uniformity of work and grade unapproached by any other 
 similar concern. Their plant is located in close proximity to the rail- 
 roads, affording excellent shipping facilities and comprise permanent 
 kilns with a capacity of 7,000,000 brick per year. They employ eighty 
 men at the Corning works and thirty-five at their Olean branch. Their 
 range of manufacture in the brick department is about to be extended 
 from pressed and molded brick of every design to a superior quality of 
 street-paving brick, for which they are now erecting a special plant. 
 Their designs in terra cotta work are infinite in number and color. 
 They employ competent draughtsmen and immediate attention is given 
 to the most intricate and difficult specifications. 
 
 The manager of the business is C. A. Rubright. They solicit cor- 
 respondence and give special attention to loading and shipping brick in 
 car loads. 
 
 Cooper and Lutz's General Repair and Machine Shop was established in

 and another 40x70, where all kinds of iron castings are manufactured. 
 About sixty hands are employed. 
 
 M. D. Walker & Co.'s saw-mill located at the foot of Market street, 
 manufactures lumber, lath, pickets, etc. The mill is furnished with 
 two engines of seventy horse-power, and has a capacity for sawing

 greater portion of the tobacco produced in this section, also much that 
 is produced in other parts. Their transactions have amounted to $ 160,- 
 000 for a single year. The members of this firm reside in New York 
 city .while the business here is under the very able management of Wil-

 farm, where the subject of this sketch remained until he was nineteen 
 years of age, helping to clear the land, attending the district school in 
 winter and working on the farm in summer. After leaving home he 
 taught school. Then, being desirous of becoming a physician, he en- 
 tered, in the fall of 1829, the office of Dr. Henry Ingersoll, of Ithaca. 
 In February, 1833 he was duly licensed to practice medicine and sur- 
 gery in Lima, Livingston county. In 1838 he removed to Penn Yan, 
 where he practiced, and at Barrington and Dundee. Dr. R. Huson, of 
 Barrington, became a convert to Homeopathy, and challenged his breth- 
 ren of the old school to a discussion of the merits of their respective 
 schools. Dr. Purdy accepted the challenge, and after two or three pub- 
 lic discussions, got into the newspapers, and continued a wordy warfare 
 for six months. Although Dr. Purdy succeeded pretty well in holding 
 his own, he was led to investigate the subject of homeopathy very close- 
 ly, and at length to test the system in practice. In 1851 he became a 
 firm believer in the theory of Hahnemann, and has practiced homeopathy

 Schools. 
 
 The excellency of the schools of Corning has long been acknowledged 
 and from the earliest history there has been a public sentiment strongly 
 in favor of liberal support of these institutions. The first movement 
 toward organizing a school in the village of Coming, was made Septem- 
 ber 2. 1839, at the house of S. B. Denton, where a meeting was held for 
 that purpose. The improvement of the schools has ever kept pace with 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 279 
 
 the growth of the place, rapid and phenomenal as that has been, and to- 
 day her school buildings are inferior to none. The Corning Academy 
 and Union School has an average attendance of one hundred pupils. 
 The city schools are under the very able management of Prof. A. G. 
 Slocum, who is principal of the academy and superintendent of city 
 schools.

 faction of theboard of education and thecommunity. The present flour- 
 ishing condition of the Corning schools attest his ability and sagacious 
 management. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 First Presbyterian Church of Corning. — This church was organized at 
 Knoxville, about 1810, and was originally known as the "Presbyterian 
 Church of Painted Post. ' ' Its first house of worship was built in Knox- 
 ville in 1832, the society previous to that time having held services in 
 the school house. The second edifice was was erected in the village of 
 Corning and was dedicated April 28, 1842. The year following, by 
 action of the Presbytery, the name was changed to the First Presbyter- 
 ian Church of Corning. In 1867 the present church edifice was built 
 at a cost of $36,000. The membership is about two hundred and fifty. 
 The present pastor is Rev. J. S. Bacon. 
 
 Christ Church, Episcopal. — The parish of Christ church was organized

 son, P. J. Mallory, N. L. Somers, J. Davis, W. J. Arnold, and S. Brown- 
 ell. The first services were held in a school house on the public square. 
 The Corning Company donated a lot on West Market street on which 
 a chapel was built and occupied until 1854, when the society erected a 
 substantial stone structure in the Norman-Gothic style, on the corner 
 of Walnut street and Erie avenue, at a cost of $25,000. On the morning 
 of March 30, 1889, it was almost totally destroyed by fire, but was soon

 and seventy-four. Rev. Walter C. Roberts is the present rector. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church of Coming. — The Corning circuit, includ- 
 
280 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 ingCaton, was organized in 1839. The first church edifice was erected 
 that year, and was located on the south side of First street, a little east 
 of the present site of the court house, and was supplied with a bell, pre- 
 sented by Mrs. Erastus Corning. Chandler Wheeler and Thomas S. 
 Davis were the preachers at that time. In i860 or '61 the present 
 commodious brick structure was built, with a capacity for seating about 
 seven hundred. 
 
 St. Mary's Catholic Church. — The first services of the Catholic church 
 were held in Corning in 1842, by R^v. Patrick Bradley, then residing 
 in Geneva, N. Y. At that time there were not more than three o 
 four Catholic families residing in the place. Father Bradley visitec 
 Corning three or four times a year until 1845 or 1846, when he was suc- 
 ceeded by Rev. John Sheridan from Owego, who visited the place five 
 or six times a year until the 3-ear 1 847 . From this time until 1 849 serv- 
 ices were held about once a month. In 1849 Rev. Father Shen ' 
 commenced the erection of a small framed church, and when it 
 finished Corning was visited monthly from Elmira. In 185:. 
 Father Cunningham was appointed the first resident pastor, and re- 
 mained until December, i860, visiting the missions at Addison and 
 Bath. On the above date the Very Rev. Father Colgan was appointed 
 pastor of the Corning missions, including the villages of Corning and 
 Addison, and vicinity. He immediately took measures for the perma- 
 nent establishment and effective support of a Catholic school. Intem- 
 perance was also declared to be an evil which was destaging the peace 
 and happiness of many families, and a temperance society was organ- 
 ized in January, 1861 . Also at the same time a benevolent society was 
 formed. On June 10, 1866, the corner stone of the new St. Mary's 
 church was laid. The cost of this church, including the parochial res- 
 idence, was about $65,000. The Catholic population of Corning is 
 about three thousand, and about five hundred more are included in the 
 country part of the parish, which includes several adjoining towns. A 
 fine brick building has been erected for a school at a cost of $16,000. 
 
 The Baptist Church of Corning was organized August 24, 1842, with 
 twenty-four original members. Their first church edifice was erected 
 and dedicated May 8, 1850, and the present tasteful brick edifice, which 
 is located on First street, corner of Wall, was built in 1886, at a cost of 
 $21 ,000. Including parsonage the property of the society is valued at

 gymnasium for the vise of members, and during the winter season edu- 
 cational classes in special branches are formed. All persons visiting

 Gibsox. — The little village of Gibson, as before stated, lies on the 
 east side of the river, opposite the city of Corning. It sprang into 
 being after the construction of the Chemung canal feeder, and in the 
 boating days was a busy place. It was the home of boatmen and boat- 
 builders, and of men engaged in lumbering. John Gibson, who con- 
 ducted large shops in Albany for the manufacturing of tools, bought of 
 Samuel Parcell his farm of two hundred acres and built a steam saw 
 and planing-mill there. Hence the name of the settlement. It now 
 contains one church (Free Methodist), a school, two hotels, blacksmith 
 shop, the D., L. & W. R. R. depot, and about fifty dwellings. 
 
 DAXSVTLLE, one of the original towns of Steuben county, was 
 formed in March, 1796, and named in honor of Daniel P. Faulk- 
 ner, an influential citizen, familiarly known as "Captain Dan." 
 Parts of Cohocton and Howard were taken off in 18 12, a part of Way- 
 land in 1848, and a part of Fremont in 1854. A portion of the town, in- 
 cluding the village of Dansville, was annexed to Sparta, Livingston 
 county, in 1S22, and a part of Cohocton was re-annexed April 26,1834. 
 Dansville is the northern town upon the west border of the county. It 
 is bounded north b} T a portion of Livingston county and Wayland, east 
 b3 r Wayland and Fremont. south by Hornellsville,and west by Allegany 
 and Livingston counties. The surface of the town is a rolling upland, 
 divided into ridges by the narrow valleys of the streams which flow both 
 north and south into the two systems of waters which find their outlet 
 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Chesapeake Bay. The soil is sandy 
 and gravelly loam in the east and north, and gravel underlaid by hard- 
 pan in the southwest. The population of this town in 1890 was 1,572. 
 The portion of the town containing the population at the time of its for- 
 mation in 1796, was subsequently taken off. In the remaining portion 
 their was no settlement until 1804, at which time Isaac Sterling settled 
 half a mile east of Eurrs Station, near the fcot of the hill, on the old 
 Arkpcrt and Dansville read. Samuel Gilscn settled next north of Ster- 
 ling the same season. At that time the road ran along the foot of the 
 east hill, avoiding the shallow lake or marsh, which filled nearly the 
 whole valley for a distance of three miles. It was at the outlet of this 
 body of water that the "Arkport" of the early navigators was estab- 
 lished. 
 
282 TOWN OF DAXSVILLE. 
 
 In 1806, Isaac Sterling opened the first tavern in the town, which 
 was succeeded by others until it was said "there was a tavern at every 
 mile on the road, and the woods were alive with the noisy ox-teamsters 
 who hauled staves to Arkport to sell for $1.50 a thousand and drank 
 up the money on the way home." 
 
 A general settlement was made about 181 6, in various parts of the 
 town. Among the first of these was Osgood Carlton, Sr., who came 
 from Maine, and settled on the state road, near Beachville, in 18 15. 
 Jehial Gates came from Vermont the same year. The next year he was 
 followed by a number of families and young men from Addison and 
 Rutland counties in that state, among whom were Charles Oliver, John 
 Heal}-, Elisha and John Robinson, Joseph Phelps, Jesse Bridge, Josiah 
 Pond, Joseph Cobb, Martin Smith, Xewnian Bell, Capt. John Robbins, 
 "Put." Rich, Judge David Demery, Gross and James Gates, sons of 
 Jehial Gates, Arad Sheldon, Silas Brookins, Isaiah Goodeno and Yen- 
 are Cook. These people located in and around Beachville. Judge 
 Demery located south of the corners, and his wife cooked for some of 
 the surrounding young men, who returned to Vermont in the winter 
 and brought back their 3'oung wives the next spring. 
 
 A tavern was opened in this settlement in 1S16, by Jesse Churchill in 
 a large double log house, near the Brayton place one-half mile east of 
 Beachville, and the country soon becoming settled , it was for j-ears a place 
 of general resort — men meeting there Saturday to end the week in 
 general frolic — pitching quoits, wrestling, running horses, and liberally 
 patronizing " the Deacon " — as Mr. Churchill was called — until well 
 into the coming week. Tisdel Haskin and Timothy Atwood, survej T or 
 and school-teacher, settled on the Beachville farm, afterward occupied 
 by John P. Faulkner. Jared Root and his son, John Root, settled near. 
 
 Leeds Allen, a native of Massachusetts, was born July 18, 1792, and 
 settled in this town in 1815. When he settled here the town was a vast 
 wilderness, their nearest neighbor being Jesse Bridge, two miles distant. 
 He chopped and cleared a large farm, made valuable improvements and 
 reared a large family. His wife was Polly Woodard, of Onondaga 
 county, whom he married December 30, 1819. He died April 30, 
 1S65. 
 
 Lemuel Benham, from Connecticut, settled in Addison at an early 
 day. In 1815 he came to this town and took up the Glen farm, now 
 owned by John Rowe. Here Mr. Benham felled the first tree ever cut 
 on the place, and built him a log house. 
 
 Josiah Flint came from Otisco Lake, Onondaga county, N. Y., in the 
 spring of 1 815, and settled on the Minor Bridge farm. This was before 
 any survey of lots had been made in the town. His nearest neighbors 
 were at Beachville, Arkport and at the foot of the Big Hill. The fol-

 lowing winter (1815-' 16), he moved his family to old Dansville, not 
 daring to winter in so sparsely settled a neighborhood as this. Leeds 
 Allen remained here and chopped fallow through the winter. 
 
 Moses Hulbert, born in Hampshire county, Mass., August 7, 1770, 
 after a residence at Fort Ann, Washington county, came to this town in

 county was named. He was familiarly known as "Captain Dan." John 
 P. Faulkner was born in Dansville, Livingston county, September 18, 
 1 8 1 1 . He was reared a farmer and continued in that vocation during 
 his life. He married Lucinda Lemen, daughter of Maj. W. S. 
 Lemen, November 23, 1833. Mrs. Faulkner died March 14, 1876, and 
 Mr. Faulkner January 22, 1890. 
 
 Jarvis P. Case settled on Oak Hill in 1832 or '33. 
 
 We insert the following extracts from an admirable sketch of the 
 Sandy Hill district and the cholera plague, prepared by B. S. Stone, 
 and read by him before Dansville Grange, No. 178, P. of H., April 28, 
 1877. 
 
 ' ' I have taken some pains and trouble to gather a few facts and in- 
 cidents connected with the early settlement of the old Sandy Hill school 
 
TOWN OF DAXSVILLE. 293 
 
 district. In grouping these incidents together I have chosen Mr. John 
 Brail, or as he was more commonly called "Gradpap," as the figure- 
 head or type of the early settlers. His struggles to maintain a foot-hold 
 on Sandy Hill were not more severe and trying than those of most of 
 the pioneers. Like Grandpap, the old school -house was also an insep- 
 arable part of the first settlement of the district and to-day deserves a 
 ■monument to commemorate its site and usefulness. Concerning the 
 contagion that swept over Sandy Hill in 1834, I find the traditions do 
 not agree on some minor points . Therefore if some of my statements 
 are at variance with othar reports, it is not because I have sought to 
 evade the truth, but rather to present the facts nearly as they occured. 
 With these remarks I invite your attention to our sketch of Grandpap 
 Brail and the old Plank School-house. 
 
 "Our memon- pictures Grandpap as an old man leaning upon a heavy 
 spiral shaped cane, with his naturally tall and erect form slightly bent 
 with age. His head was very bald, but what locks he had were white 
 as the fleecy snow. His features were rather pleasing, but had the ap- 
 pearance of being long and thin, his heavy chin being caused by a freak 
 of nature that gave him a set of sound double teeth clear around his 
 mouth. His eyes were mild and blue, but restless. If not talking to 
 some one his face was in motion, turning a quid of tobacco of his own 
 growing. His wardrobe was usually made after some ancient style,but 
 always scrupulously clean. How he came by the name of Grandpap 
 or why both old and young should address him in this familiar style, is 
 more than I can tell. But all knew him as Grandpap. 
 
 "John Brail was born January 28th, 1771. In the year of i8i3he 
 emigrated from Pennsylvania to the flats below the village of Dansville, 
 and worked a farm on shares for Jacob Opp, the land that is owned by 
 John Galbraith and the heirs of Henry Driesbach. In the spring of 
 1817 he bought the lands now owned by Wm. Hall and known as the 
 Brail farm, and built a log house. In the fall, with his frau and seven 
 children, he moved to his new home on the plains of Sandy Hill and 
 commenced there the struggle of a pioneer's life, surrounded by a dense 
 forest of pitch pine, with a soil that when first cleared would hardty 
 produce white beans. In regard to the poverty of the soil of those yel- 
 low pine plains, it is said to have been caused by the Indians annually 
 t>urning the leaves for a long series of years. The surrounding hills 
 and valleys were their favorite hunting-grounds, those forests abounded 
 with the red deer and other game. The great Indian trail leading from 
 the Niagara to Philadelphia skirted along the north side of those plains. 
 The camp fires the Indians kindled along this great highway to cook 
 their venison kept the forest denuded of leaves, impoverishing the soil 
 for the white man, but making a better hunting ground for the Indian. 
 But to return to the pioneer and his new home. His log house was 
 built after the accepted architectural plan of a frontiersman. The chim- 
 ney, fire-pit and great hearth received the most scientific consideration. I 
 will describe this useful appendage to Grandpap 's house. There was no 
 back to the fire-place except the logs at the end of the house. To keep 
 the fire under control a pit was dug a foot or more below the hearth, 
 four feet wide and eight or nine long. This was surrounded with large 
 flat stones and called the hearth. The chimney commenced just below 
 
2Q4 TOWN OF DAN'SVIIXE. 
 
 the garret floor, on a pair of strong, crooked jaw sticks, reaching from 
 from the fifth or sixth log to the garret floor sleeper, directly over the 
 front hearth. The chimney was carried up to a proper height above 
 the roof by sticks placed across each other at right angles and thorough- 
 lh plastered ovef with mud. Great logs, two feet and over in diameter, 
 and six and eight feet long, were shoved into the house on rollers by 
 the united efforts of Grandpap and his whole family ; these were rolled 
 into the fire-pit and served as back logs for a huge fire, lasting some- 
 times six or eight days. Pitch pine knots furnished the onl}' lights for 
 this famiry for a number of years. 
 
 ' ' The first clearing Grandpap made was on the north side of his farm- 
 and east of the road where the school-house now stands. This was the 
 first clearing made on the plains of Sandy Hill. This was sowed to 
 rye in the fall of 1817. (This clearing extended far enough west to take 
 in the site of the old plank school-house). The next year, 1S1S, grain 
 was very scarce. As soon as this rye would possibly do Grandpap cut 
 six shocks and shelled it out by hand. It was too green to grind, and 
 the necessity of the family was urgent. They put it into an old-fash- 
 ioned Dutch oven and dried it for two days, then took it to Opp's mill 
 to have it ground; but here was an unlooked for difficulty. They 
 poured the rye in the hopper, it being only half ripe and sticky, and 
 the stone clogged and stopped. This was a poser for the old pioneer. 
 He took the situation in at a glance. His family were at home in want 
 of bread, and this was a commodity that wasn't to be had even for 
 money. With a heavy heart he went in search of his old friend. Jacob 
 Opp. After telling him his situation Mr. Opp came to his rescue with 
 advice worthy of a back-woodsman. He told Grandpap he would take 
 up the stone and gather up his grist, and he must take it home and have 
 it boiled like rice and eat it with milk. But here was another difficulty. 
 Cows were scarce and expensive, but money would bu3 - a cow if it 
 would not bread. He went and gave Jonathan Barnhart $40 for a large 
 new milch cow and drove her home. Boiled rye and milk was the sta- 
 ple article of food for the winter of '18 and '19. The next winter this 
 old cow that had served them so well came to an untimely end while 
 foraging through the cracks of a log barn they had built. She got her 
 head fast and strangled, adding another misfortune to this industrious 
 family. The next crop Grandpap gathered was from a field he had 
 cleared opposite the old burying ground. This was wheat, but on ac- 
 count of the poverty of the soil it only grew from eight inches to two* 
 feet in height. This w'heat they pulled, as was the custom in gathering 
 flax. Not a good head was lost in gathering this crop of wheat. They 
 carried economy to the extreme, to be sure of saving every kernel of 
 wheat. They took a new bed-quilt, spread it on the ground and 
 threshed the wheat on it, spoiling the quilt, which proved to be worth 
 more than the wheat. 
 
 " In 1 818 Grandpap found himself surrounded by a few neighbors 
 and the necessity of a school became apparent. Late in the month of 
 December we find him notifying the scattered settlers to attend a meet- 
 ing, to take into consideration the expediency of building a school 
 house. In response to this notice we find the record of the first school 
 meeting of Sandy Hill. The following is a correct copy : 'At a school. 
 
TOWN OF DAXSVILLE. 295 
 
 meeting held at the house of Rufus Stone, in the school district No. 8, 
 in the town of Dansville, in the county of Steuben, in the state of New 
 York, pursuant to notice given by John Brail, by order of Elisha W. 
 Brockway, one of the commissioners of common schools in and for the 
 town of Dansville, on the 25th of December, 1S18, William S. Lemen 
 was chosen moderator, Rufus Stone was chosen clerk for said district, 
 Rufus Stone, Chauncey Day and William S. Lemen trustees, David 
 Stone district collector. 
 
 " Resolved, that the forks or corners of the highway at or near the 
 house of John Brail be the site for the school-house. 
 
 " Resolved, that those persons that do not deliver their part of the 
 lumber by the Sth day of January next at the site of the school-house, 
 that their portion of the lumber shall be assigned over to some other 
 person by the trustees, and that the money be collected of said delin- 
 quents and paid over to the said assignee or assignees. 
 
 " Resolved, that the said school-house be built of plank, twenty-one 
 feet long and eighteen feet wide. 
 
 " Resolved, that the trustees raise by tax S73 to be appropriated to 
 building said school-house in the aforsaid district. 
 
 " Resolved, that each person liable to pay taxes in said district, pas- 
 one day's work toward building said school-house when called upon by 
 anv one or more of the trustees, and that the said day's labor be gratis. 
 
 " Resolved, that the amoum of lumber persons deliver at the site of 
 the school-house as aforsaid, shall apply toward his part of the aforesaid 
 tax. 
 
 " Resolved, that this meeting be adjourned to the 9th day of January 
 next to be holden at the same place. 
 
 W. S. Lemex, Moderator. 
 Rufus Stoxe, Clerk." 
 
 Mr. Dorr had a wool-carding, cloth-dressing and fulling mill in suc- 
 cessful operation, near his stone house, about 182 1 or 1822 ; he had to 
 take considerable grain for his work. He drew wheat to Rochester on 
 wagons and sold it for 40 cents per bushel. As late as 1824 they hired 
 Mr. Brockway to teach for S18 per month and take his pay in lumber 
 at the different mills in the district at $4 for barn, $6 for house and $8 
 for clear stuff, all to be good white pine. 
 
 "Rufus Stone came here about three months after Mr. Lemeu, arriv- 
 ing on the 3d of June, 18 16, with his family. He lived the first year 
 in the old Shull house that stood about where Mr. Waggoner's and 
 Woodruff's houses now stand. He built a saw-mill on Stone's falls the 
 same year and cut the great notch in the rocks to set the water wheel in . 
 Quite a portion of the dam that he built that year is still in use in the 
 dam for the wagon shop. He came here from thetown of Pompey, On- 
 ondaga county, this state, at the time of the first school meeting at his 
 house in 18 18 or '19. He lived in a plank house that must have cov- 
 ered the northeast corner of the grange lot. The old apple trees that 
 stand on this lot were planted by Mrs. Stone. She grew them from 
 the seeds of large sweet apples that she brought from Berkshire county, 
 Mass., her native home. What was a little remarkable, none of her 
 trees produced sweet apples. 
 
 "But go with me to the old burying ground, a few rods to the west. 
 
296 TOWN OF DANSVILLE. 
 
 This enclosure contains the remains of most of the early settlers of Sandy- 
 Hill, not one of whom remains to tell the story of the old plank school 
 house among the pines. Here, upon a marble slab, you can read this 
 inscription: 'John Brail, died Dec. 2d, 1S60, in the 90th year of his 
 age.' 
 
 "The old patriarch is gone; his old pioneer associates are gone: the 
 3-ellow pines are gone; the old plank school-house is gone. I wish that 
 this could be the closing paragraph of my sketch of Grandpap Brail and 
 the old plank school-house. But this quiet little cemetery tells a tale 
 that I must not pass by. Inscribed upon many head stones you may 
 read these terrible words, "Died qf Cholera.'' In but few rural cem- 
 eteries has this scourge of the human family, this destro3 7 er from Cen- 
 tral Asia written its name with an icy finger upon so man}' tablets as 
 here. Forty-three 3-ears ago, and who shall tell the tale of the plague 
 of Sandy Hill? We shall ask in vain of those that nursed the sick and 
 buried the dead; they, too, have passed away. In 1834 the tide of 
 German immigration that settled the nothern portion ef Steuben county 
 was at his height. Grandpap Brail being a Pennsylvania Dutchman, 
 his house was thronged by the newly arrived immigrants. Being famil- 
 iar with the surrounding country he acted as a guide and interpreter for 
 a great many of the Germans in the purchase and location of their 
 lands. Having vacated the old log house for more comfortable quarters 
 in a snug farm cottage he had recently built three or four rods to the 
 north, where the residence of Mr. Hall now stands. Winter was com- 
 ing and some of the Germans solicited the use of this vacant house for 
 their families. Grandpap, ever generous to a fault, granted their re- 
 quest, and even yielded to their importunities for him to go to Buffalo 
 after their families and goods. Sometime in the first or second week 
 in August he procured the services of one of his neighbors and with 
 teams they started for Buffalo, 80 miles distant, after the families of Mr. 
 Bolinger, Mr. Rider, Mr. Kerch and Mr. Schu. Those people had 
 come to Buffalo from New York city by the Erie canal. On this canal 
 voyage it is said one of the number died with cholera. They buried the 
 body, but the clothing was packed away in one of their iron-bound 
 chests to be cleansed at some future time. These families Grandpap 
 moved into his old log house. They numbered 16 or 18 persons. 
 Among their trumpery was the fatal chest containing the germs of a 
 plague that was to depopulate to a certain extent this thriving and 
 happy settlement and spread terror and consternation in the surround- 
 ing towns. Little did Grandpap think, that in performing this act of 
 almost charity he had brought a caged monster to be let loose to deso- 
 late his own home and the homes of his friends; that a shadow was to 
 gather over his house and theirs, that all the sunshine of coming days 
 would never dispel. 
 
 " Soon after those immigrants were crowded into the old log house, 
 Mrs. Brail helped them wash and cleanse some of their clothing, little 
 thinking that she was exposing herself to the cholera in its most malig- 
 nant form. This was on Tuesday. In the evening she was taken sick. 
 Doctor Endress was sent for and even- assistance rendered that could be 
 thought of. He called it a severe case of the cholera morbus. Mr. 
 Brail was away as usual, buying land for the Germans. Wednesday 
 
TOWN OF DAXSVILLE. 297 
 
 morning a quick messenger was sent to hunt him up and tell him that 
 his wife, Margaret, was ver)- sick and in danger. He was found in the 
 woods not far from Perkinsville, five or six miles from home. Hearing 
 the alarm, he mounted the messenger's horse and took the nearest route 
 home, in places following old log roads and by-paths he was familiar 
 with, not heeding the crashing of brush nor the foaming of his steed ; 
 arriving home a little before twelveo'clock at noon, just in time to take 
 his wife by the hand, and in their German language big each other a 
 last farewell. The old clock in the corner struck the hour of twelve 
 and the cholera claimed its first victim on Sandy Hill. This was the 
 24th of August, 1834 — a date never to be forgotten by the descendants 
 of the pioneers. Doctors Cook and Reynale had been called. With 
 great reluctance they admitted that it might be a contagious disease. 
 Why these doctors should be so slow to warn this community of the 
 imminent danger that surrounded them was never explained to the satis- 
 faction of the friends of those who suffered. But there were those who 
 saw the danger and were not afraid to proclaim their conviction that it 
 was the Asiatic cholera in its worst form. Had! it not been for the timely 
 warning, not from the M. D's., but from Mr. Samuel G. Dorr and the 
 lady that was teaching school in the old plank school-house, had it not 
 been for the panic caused by those persons in telling what they believed 
 to be true, the cholera would not have been confined to Sandy Hill. 
 Mrs. Brail being one of the first settlers, she was known far and near. 
 A great concourse of people would have assembled at the funeral. Many 
 did come from a distance, but heard the alarm in time to avert the 
 danger. The family made preparations for a large funeral, and were 
 disappointed in its failure. Had the whole community been exposed to 
 this disease, who can tell where it would have stopped ? Mrs. Brail was 
 the only person that died with the cholera that was laid out dressed, and 
 received the ordinary attention before burial. Taken sick Tuesday 
 evening, died Wednesday noon, buried Thursday afternoon. A few 
 friends got together and walked with Grandpap to the cemetery to bury 
 his companion of fort3 r years. 
 
 ' ' The old man felt that he was proscribed and deserted in this hour 
 of his greatest trial. He could not see the mighty vortex with its circle 
 widening and ready to engulf more of his own family, friends and 
 neighbors in its unpitying embrace. After Mrs. Brail died the house- 
 hold affairs devolved upon her two daughters — Sarah (now Mrs. A. 
 Hall of Dansville) and Matilda. When Saturday night came these 
 poor girls sought their couch crushed in spirit, and weary in body with 
 overwork and anxiety, weeping over the irreparable loss of a mother. 
 About two o'clock they were both taken with all the symptoms of ap- 
 proaching dissolution. Medical aid was summoned as quickly as possi- 
 ble. One was taken and the other left. At eight o'clock Sunday 
 morning Matilda died, six hours after she felt the first symptoms of this 
 terrible disease. 
 
 " This was on the 28th, less than four days after her mother died. 
 Matilda's death created a new panic. There was no mistaking the dis- 
 ease they had to deal with. Drs. Endress, Cook, Patchin, Reynale and 
 two or three other doctors whose names are not familiar did all in their 
 power to stay the contagion. A number of the neighbors took their

 lives in their hands, as it were, and went forth to care for the sick, bury 
 the dead and perform any service that would ameliorate the condition 
 of the suffering. Among those noble volunteers I might mention Sam- 
 uel Lemen, Zara Blake (father of our present Dr. Z. H. Blake J, Samuel 
 G. Dorr, Michael Driesbach, Thomas Stutson, Rufus Stone, Joseph 
 Acomb, Andrew Brail, John Brail, Jr., and others. This forlorn hope 
 was led by the philanthropist, Sam Lemen, a name that Sandy Hill can 
 well be proud of, a man that was always read}- to respond to the faint- 
 est cry of distress. Through all the dark days of the cholera Sam 
 Lemeu was the one always present, helping, sympathizing, encourag- 
 ing, doing all that man could do fjpr the suffering. Xight and day he 
 was passing from house to house watching the developments of the 
 plague. Nothing escaped his vigilant e3'e. Of this band of Samari- 
 tans but two or three went through the ordeal that tried their very souls 
 without contracting disease that followed them to their graves. Mr. 
 Acomb died. Mr. Blake was made an invalid for life. Mr. Dorr nev- 
 er completely recovered from its effects. Mr. Stone and Robert Brail 
 were very sick, but recovered in time. 
 
 " Let us pause a moment and look at the condition of Grandpap, his 
 family and the old plank school-house at 9 or 10 o'clock that Sunday 
 morning of August the 28th. Grandpap, with a wild and haggard coun- 
 tenance, was pacing the long piazza in the front of his house. The 
 terrible agony of his soul had dried up the fountain of his tears. In the 
 little northwest bedroom his daughter Matilda, the old man's darling, 
 lay beautiful but lifeless. In the front room another daughter, Sarah, 
 appeared to be in a hopeless condition. Lying upon the floor of his 
 new barn, a few rods south of the house, was his son George, struck 
 with death. And the old school-house — It was turned into an undertak- 
 er's shop, and men were driving the last nails into a rough box they 
 called a coffin, in which to bury his dead daughter. To not alarm the 
 sick this box was taken into the house through the bedroom window, 
 the corpse rolled up in some of the bed clothing and placed in it, and it 
 was then passed out again by Lemen and the band of Samaritans. 
 They carried her to the cemetery and put her by the side of her mother. 
 After the burial of Matilda they missed George, and found him, as I 
 have stated, in the new barn lying on the floor, chilled through and 
 hardl}- able to move. They put him on a blanket and carried him to 
 the house. This man's suffering was said to be terrible— so great that 
 at times he would beg of the men that were with him to end his suffer- 
 ing with an axe. Before morning this strong man had to 3 T ield to the 
 grim monster, Death. They rolled him up in his bedding, like his sis- 
 ter, passed him out of the window and buried him by the side of his 
 mother and sister. Within twelve da3's nearly two-thirds of the emi- 
 grants were carried away to the old burying ground by Lemen and the 
 little band of Samaritans. Mrs. Kerch and six of her children died in 
 the log house. 
 
 ' ' Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon those Samaritans for their 
 ceaseless vigilance and untiring devotion to the wants of the sick and 
 helpless. Let us follow them through that night of the 3d of Septem- 
 ber which was only a repetition of many others. They made it a rule to 
 bury the dead as soon as possible. 
 
TOWN* OF DAXSVILLE. 299 
 
 " But coffins had to be made, graves had to be dug, the sick and well 
 looked after. The coffins were made in the evening at Mr. Stone's 
 house. Here let me say not a coffin was furnished or made outside 01 
 the guard that surrounded this contagion. Not a clergyman of any 
 denomination exposed his sacred head to minister to the spiritual wants 
 of those dying people. What a contrast between the feelings of men 
 witnessing the suffering of others and those that are at a distance and 
 out of danger. 
 
 Brand}- and loaf sugar were largely used as a preventative during 
 the first symptoms of the cholera. Mr. Lemen claimed that it saved his 
 own life as well as the lives of others. To show the unselfishness and 
 care he had for the welfare of others, I will relate an incident as told by 
 himself. One evening after caring for the sick and burying some dead, 
 he felt alarmed about himself and thought he would go home and rest; 
 but before reaching home he felt all the symptoms of the dreadful dis- 
 ease. To not expose his family, he went into the barn. He closed the 
 door and decided to meet his fate alone. He supposed he had seen the 
 sun sink behind the horizon for the last time and like George Brail had 
 chosen to be alone in a barn. He cramped and suffered terribly nearly 
 all night, but he did not propose to die without a struggle for life. 
 Having a pocket full of loaf sugar and the inevitable bottle of brandy, 
 he ate the one and drank the other all night. In the morning his family 
 were surprised to see him coming from the barn pale as death and very 
 weak. They supposed he was among the sick, but he had conquered 
 the disease and was ready in a short time to resume his place among the 
 Samaritans. This man seemed to escape death almost miraculously a 
 number of times. Not man}- years ago, when his work of love was done 
 and he had seen all but one of his own family cross the dark river of 
 death, one afternoon he walked home from one of his neighbors, placed 
 his staff in the corner, lay down on a lounge to rest and went quietly to 
 sleep, never to awaken in this world. Thns ended the life of this gen- 
 erous hearted man. 
 
 ' ' But I must bring this story of the terrible scenes that surrounded 
 Grandpap Brail and the old plank school-house to a close. Within 
 this battle of four weeks Grandpap had seen eighteen of his family and 
 friends carried by the old school-house to the burying ground. Need 
 we wonder that his form was bent, and his head was as white as snow ? 
 To complete this picture of destruction his old log house and every- 
 thing that was contaminated with the cholera were committed to the 
 flames. 
 
 ' 'Thus ended the terrors of Sandy Hill. ' ' 
 
 In 1 8 19, John Faulkner, a soldier of 1812, and William Perine, fa- 
 ther of H. W. Perine, of Bath, moved on to the maple-lands, a mile 
 south of the sand-lands. 
 
 The original settlers in Sandy Hill and vicinity have given place to 
 an industrious German population from Prussia, on the Rhine, who 
 have made of it the most valuable portion of the town. 
 
 Organisation. — The first town-meeting of this town then including 
 the present village of North Dansville, in Livingston county, was held 
 
30O TOWN OF DANSVILLE. 
 
 in the village of Dansville, at the house of Samuel Faulkner, April 4, 
 1797. The oldest house now standing and still occupied in this town 
 is that of George Dimond, near Stone's Falls. It was built by Zara 
 Blake, in 1814. 
 
 RogerSville, (South Dansville P. O.), is located near the centre of 
 the town of Dansville, and contains the Rogersville Union Seminary 
 and a common school, two churches, Methodist Episcopal and Univer- 
 salists, — the latter but little used, — three general stores, a grist-mill, 
 saw-mill, hotel, meat-market, shoe-shop, wagon-shop, two blacksmith 
 shops and about forty dwellings * The mail is received daily bj' stage 
 from Dansville, Livingston county. 
 
 Burns P. O. is situated near the southwest corner of the town of 
 Dansville on the Alleghany county line. It is a station of the Buffalo 
 division of the Erie, and Lackawanna & Southern railroads, and contains 
 one church, a school, a store, two blacksmith shops and about twenty- 
 five dwellings. 
 
 Manufactures. 
 
 F. Lander's wagon and general repair shop is located on Main street 
 in the village of Rogersville. The business was established by A. W. 
 Green who was succeeded by Oscar Wood, who in turn was succeeded 
 by the firm of Wood & Lander, and since 18S2 the business has been 
 conducted by the present proprietor. Wagons, sleighs, land-rollers are 
 manufactured and general repair work done here. 
 
 Schools. 
 
 The first school was opened in the western part of the town in 181 1 , 
 and was taught by James Jones. This school was not far from Doty's 
 Corners. As before stated, William C. Rogers established a select school 
 in 1848. The present fine building was completed in 1S52, by subscip- 
 tions and contributions, and June 28, 1853, the Rogersville Union Sem- 
 inary was chartered by the Regents of the State University. F.A.Owen 
 is the present principal, under whose able management the school has 
 recovered much of its former importance as an educational institution, 
 which for a time it had lost, through the establishment of advanced 
 schools in larger places. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 The first Methodist meetings were held on Oak Hill — in the house of 
 George Butler, half a mile north of the present church — in the spring 
 of 181 7. A class was formed immediately after. The next year meet- 
 ings were held at the house of Thomas Buck. The walls of the first 
 house of worship in the town, built of logs, were rolled up in i8i9,and 
 occupied immediately . 
 
 Early services were held in the school-house at Beachville, John 
 Root being an early worker in the church at that place. The church 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 301 
 
 was built at Rogersville and dedicated July 19, 1841. In 1862, a new 
 church was built on Oak Hill, three-fourths of a mile west of the old 
 log church. 
 
 The first Baptist meetings held in the town were conducted by Rev. 
 Mr. Ford of Howard, as early as 18 19, at Beachville in a log school- 
 house, on Thomas Brayton's land. Mr. Brayton who was a deacon of 
 the church and an eloquent speaker, also held meetings when there was 
 no pastor, and officiated at funerals. The church was erected not far 
 from 1825. 
 
 The Universalist society was organized in Rogersville through the 
 efforts of Rev. Asa Upson, soon after the opening of the Seminary in 
 1848, and a church was built in the village in 1852 at a cost of $2,800. 
 
 Physicians. — The pioneer physician of the town was a Dr. Potter, of 
 whom we have been unable to gather any information. Succeeding 
 him was Dr. Thomas Bowen, who was born in Rhode Island, and came 
 here from Hartford, Washington county, in 1818. He settled first 
 above Beachville, and in 1825 moved to the place now owned by his 
 son, Thomas W. Bowen, and practiced here until his death on Decem- 
 ber 18, 1S46. His wife was Patience Brayton. Dr. Burton and Dr. E. 
 M. L,ayman were practitioners here. 
 
 Dr. Charles S. Ackley was born in DeRuyter, Madison coun- 
 ty, March 12, 182 1. When a boy of ten years his parents moved to 
 Angelica, Allegany county, where he was educated. He studied med- 
 icine with Dr. CD. Robinson, attended the Medical College of the Uni- 
 versity of New York, and graduated from the Medical College of Cleve- 
 land, O. He practiced for a time with Dr. Robinson, at Burns, and 
 on April 4, 1843, came to this town, where he has since practiced. Dr. 
 Ackley has been twice married. 
 
 Dr. Cassius M. Ackley, son of the above, was born in this town June 
 4, 1 S45. He received his education in the schools of the town, and at 
 Genesee College, Lima. He studied medicine with his father and en- 
 tered the University of Buffalo, from which institution he graduated in 
 February, 1868. He has since practiced in this town. 
 
 ERWIN township lies in the southeast part of the county, west of 
 Corning, and was formerly township No. 2, of the Second Range, 
 of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase. It was formed from the 
 township of Painted Post, January 27, 1826. Lindley was taken off in 
 1837, and a part of Corning was annexed in 1856. Its surface is about 
 equally divided between high, rolling upland, and the low valleys of 
 the streams. The summits of the hills are from four hundred to six 
 hundred feet above the valleys of the streams. The Tioga and Canis-

 teo rivers unite near the southeast part of the town, and the Tioga and 
 Conhocton near the eastern boundary of the town north of the center, 
 forming the Chemung river. The valleys of these streams are from one 
 to two miles wide, and are among the richest and most productive lands 
 of the county. The soil upon the hills is a shaly and clave)- loam, 
 and in the valley it is a fine fertile alluvium. 
 
 The population in 1890 was 1,883. 
 
 Early Settlement. — Says the late Charles H. Envin: 
 
 "In the very early summer of 17S6, Samuel Harris made the first 
 permanent settlement upon the lands west of the pre-emption line, in 
 the state of New York.* 
 
 "At this date, Mr. Harris, from Northumberland, Pa., grounded his 
 Durham boat upon the north shore of the Conhocton river, in the rear 
 of the present drug store of Orcutt & Loomis, in the village of Painted 
 Post, and immediately commenced the erection of the first habitation 
 for civilized man in Western New York, upon the site of the above 
 mentioned drug store. ' ' 
 
 The cabin of Harris was subsequently burned, as we learn from the 
 following extract from Judge McMasters' History: 
 
 "On the morning of Christmas day, in the year 1787, a backwoods- 
 man and an Indian issued from the door of a log cabin which stood half 
 buried in snow on a point of land lying between the Cowanesque creek 
 and the Tioga river, at the junction of those streams, and set forth on 
 the ice of the river for a journey to the settlements below. The}' were 
 clad according to the rude fashions of the frontiers of the forest, in gar- 
 ments partly obtained by barter from outpost traders, and partly sup- 
 plied by robbery from the beasts of the forest. Tomahawks andknives 
 were stuck in their belts, snow-shoes were bound to their feet, and knap- 
 sacks of provisions were strapped to their backs . 
 
 "The snow lay upon the ground four full feet in depth . It was brought 
 from the north in one of those mighty storms which in former da3 T s often 
 swept down from Canadaian regions and poured the treasures of the 
 snowy zone upon our colonial forests. * * * 
 
 " The pioneer and his savage comrade pursued their journey on the 
 ice. The Tioga was then a wild and free river. From its source, far up on 
 the ' Magnolia Hills,' of the old provincial maps, down to its union 
 with the equally wild and free Conhocton, no device of civilized man 
 fretted its noble torrent. A single habitation of human beings stood 
 upon its banks, the log cabin at the mouth of the Cowanesque. But 
 it bore now upon its frozen surface the fore-runner of an unresting race 
 of lumbermen and farmers, who in a few years invaded its peaceful soli- 
 tudes, dammed its wild flood, and hewed down the lordly forest through 
 which it flowed. The travelers kept on its course beyond the mouth of 
 the Canisteo to the Painted Post. Here they expected to find the cabin 
 of one Harris, a trader, w T here they might have lodgings for the night, 
 
 * It is possible that before the advent of Harris, some straggling adventurer may 
 have wandered hither, built him a lodge, perhaps planted corn on the open flats, 
 and afterward strayed to parts unknown, leaving no trace of his existence.

 and, if necessary for the comfort of the savage breast, a draught from 
 the ' cup that cheers (and also) inebriates.' On the arrival at the head 
 of the Chemung, however, the}- found that the cabin had been des- 
 troyed by fire. The trader had either been murdered by the Indians, or 
 devoured by wild beasts, or else he had left the country, and Steuben 
 county was in consequence depopulated. 
 
 " Disappointed in their hope, the travelers continued their journey 
 on the ice as far as Big Flats. Here night overtook them. They 
 kindled a fire on the banks of the river, and laid them down to sleep. 
 The air was intensely cold. It was one of those clear, still, bitter cold 
 nights, when the moon seems an iceberg and the stars are bright and 
 sharp like hatchets. The savage rolled himself up in his blanket, lay 
 with his back to the fire, and did not so much as stir till the morning; 
 but his companion, though framed of that stout stuff out of which back- 
 woodsmen are built, could not sleep for the intensity of the cold. At 
 midnight a pack of wolves chased a deer from the woods to the river, 
 seized the wretched animal on the ice, tore it to pieces and devoured 
 it within ten rods of the encampment. Early in the morning the 
 travelers arose and went their way to the settlements below, the first of 
 which was Newtown. 
 
 ' ' Such is one of the early glimpses of our county granted us. Jour- 
 neys are performed in rather a different manner now. The incidents of 
 the trip sound oddly enough to the ear of the modern traveler — the ex- 
 cursion on snow shoes — the possible destruction of the village of Painted 
 Post by the Indians— the encampment and night fire under the trees by 
 the river bank on a stinging Christmas night, while frost-bitten wolves 
 regaled the ears of the travelers with dismal howling. The backwoods- 
 man was Samuel Baker, a New Englander, afterwards well known to 
 our citizens as Judge Baker, of Pleasant Valley." 
 
 Harris had pushed up the Chemung with a cargo of goods to open a 
 traffic with the hunting parties of the Six Nations which resorted at 
 certain seasons to the northwestern branches of the Susquehanna. 
 When Judge Baker found the cabin burned and the trader missing, he 
 inferred that the latter had perhaps been killed by his customers. Har- 
 ris, however, had met with no calamity. On the contrary, his inter- 
 course with the Indians was of a very friendly and confidential charac- 
 ter. The savages, we arc told, manifested much zeal in promoting the 
 establishment of a trading-post at the head of the Chemung, and assist- 
 ed in carrying the logs out of which the cabin was built, on their shoul- 
 ders to the proposed site. 
 
 Harris was only temporarily absent at the time of Judge Baker's 
 visit. He afterward returned to Painted Post with his son, and lived 
 there a few years, when he again moved to Pennsylvania.* Harris was 
 a trader and did not cultivate the soil. He was the son of old John 
 
 *"Mr.Harris,late in the autumn of the same year — 1789 — removed to Harris' Fer- 
 ry, near the foot of Cayuga Lake, where his son John had previously purchased, es- 
 tablished a ferry and erected the first store and hotel in the place." — Chas. H. Er-

 Harris, the Indian trader, and founder of Harrisburgh; now the capitol 
 of Pennsylvania. He was a coroner of Northumberland county during 
 the revolution, in which he took an active part. 
 
 In the year 1789 Augustus Porter was employed by Phelps & Gor- 
 ham , to run out the southeast part of their purchase into townships six 
 miles square. He states that he ' ' made his headquarters with old Mr. 
 Harris, and the only white men in the whole region were, beside Harris 
 and his son William, George Goodue, just below, and Eli Mead, at the 
 mouth of the creek which bears his name. ' ' Mead was from Wyoming, 
 and Goodhue from Massachusetts* 
 
 Frederick Calkins had been with them, but had then gone back to 
 his home in Vermont to marry his wife, with whom he returned to the 
 neighborhood in January, 1790. Mrs. Calkins was the first white wo- 
 man to make her home in the valley. 
 
 After the formation of Ontario county from Montgomery county by 
 act of legislature, January 27, 1789, it was provided by the same act 
 that the justices of the sessions should divide the county into two or 
 more districts for voting and municipal purposes. In 1790 or 1791 , the 
 district of " The Painted Post" was formed, embracing all the territory 
 comprised in the county of Steuben as subsequently organized. 
 
 About the middle of July, 1789, while the surveyors above mentioned 
 were yet at work in township No. 2, of the Second Range, Col. Arthur 
 Erwin from Bucks county, Pa., rode up to the door of Samuel Harris 
 and craved an hour's rest and food for his drove of cattle and dinner for 
 himself and his herdsmen. 
 
 Colonel Erwin was en-route with his drove, for the new market of 
 Canandaigua, and while the drovers, Indian guides and cattle were rest- 
 ing, he procured another Indian guide, rode out upon the hillside north 
 of Harris' house, where he obtained a good view of the unrivaled val- 
 leys of the Chemung, Tioga and Conhocton. Returning, he started 
 drovers and cattle on the trail for Canandaigua. After dining himself, 
 he again took his horse and guide, forded the Conhocton river, and fol- 
 lowing the Indian trail south through the valley of the Tioga, forded the 
 Canisteo again, rode up the mountain on the south bank of the river and 
 obtained another view of the aforesaid valleys and also a view of the val- 
 ley of the Canisteo. He then followed his drove. Overtaking them 
 he gave the drovers orders to hasten their arrival an Canandaigua, and 
 procuring another Indian guide hurried on in advance. He proceeded 
 to the land office, and made inquiry if Township No, 2, of the Second 
 Range was in the market, and if so, the price. The answer was, " It is 
 for sale, and the price is fourteen hundred pounds in New York cur- 
 rency. ' ' Colonel Erwin gave in payment for this township his drove of 
 cattle at the land-owners' appraisal and paid the balance in money.

 Within twenty-four hours after Colonel Erwin received his deed, Col. 
 Eleazer Lindsley arrived and made an offer for the same township. He, 
 however, subsequently purchased the town of Lindley. 
 
 The Painted Post. — There are various theories set forth regarding the 
 origin of the stained or " Painted Post," found here by the pioneers, 
 and which was described by others previous to the settlement of this val- 
 ley. This post has been pepetuated by the people of this section who, 
 whenever it has succumbed to the ravages of time have replaced it with 
 a new one. 
 
 We give below an oration delivered by T. F. Minier, at the dedica- 
 tion of a new post, August 21, 1880 : 
 
 ' ' This valley prior to the invasion by Sullivan, history sheds but a dim 
 light upon, and all vestiges of the race that once occupied it have yielded 
 to the hand of time, and through all the changes produced by civiliza- 
 tion the eternal march of time goes on. In 1750 the Moravians in their 
 religious zeal for the spiritual welfare of the aborigines, had pene- 
 trated the Lehigh, Wyoming and Susquehanna valleys, and in 1767, 
 Zeisberger, the celebrated Moravian missionary extended his mission to 
 this locality. I give you extracts from the original journal, now in 
 the archives of the Bethlehem Seminary, the date October 3, 1767. 
 'Zeisberger and party passed through a prairie of about three miles, with 
 tall grass, which was very wet. At noon, they came to Assinisink, 
 where Jacobus used to live, the Muncy chief who led the attack on 
 Gundenhutten, on the Mahoney. In 1755, this town was afterwards, 
 that is, after the attack on Gundenhutten ' destroyed by a Mohawk war 
 party.' 
 
 ' ' Jacobus was taken prisoner in the Pontiac war, and died while a 
 prisoner. We leam by this that this place, called Assinisink, was oc- 
 cupied by a powerful tribe of Indians in 1755. At Assinisink, or in the 
 neighborhood, ' Zeisberger found regular pyramids of stone which ap- 
 peared to have been made with human hands. The pyramids were of 
 various sizes, and the largest one about three stories high, rising to a 
 point, which was covered with a flat stone. The outsides of the stones 
 were soft, the inside hard and sound. The Indians in the neighbor- 
 hood, of whom Zeisberger inquired, could give no information with re- 
 gard to these structures. They were near the junction of the Tioga.' 
 The prairie referred to in the journal is now Big Flats. The pyramids 
 were at the Chimney Narrows, and they exist this day. From earliest 
 and most authentic accounts this valley seems to have been a thorough- 
 fare for the movements of the red men from the time they first occupied 
 it until the day the last lonelndian faded away on the western horizon. 
 At the time of Sullivan's e^edition this valley was occupied by por- 
 tions of the Senecas, Cayugas and Tuscaroras, and Canadasaga, their 
 chief, from the Council House, at Catherinetown, issued his edicts with 
 all the dignity surrounding an autocrat. Here was the door of their 
 Long House wide open, exposing to view the matchless valleys of the 
 Tioga and Susquehanna. It is pleasant to refer to the history of our 
 particular section. The early inhabitants have crossed the river of 
 time ; much has been omitted in the record of events. Let us open the 
 
3<d6 town of erwin. 
 
 door of tradition and notice some of the events that distinguish this 
 locality. 
 
 "1788. — The valley at this early date was the Indian trail from 
 Painted Post to Tioga Point, over which the braves passed to get their 
 fire water. In 1789 means were taken to draw the Indians into a coun- 
 cil, and the final decision was to hold it at Painted Post, June 17, 1791, 
 but that determination seems to have been changed, for it took place at 
 Newtown, and it was here that Red Jacket displayed those transcend- 
 ent powers for which he became so distinguished. The treaty was held 
 at Newtown, though called in history the treat}' of Painted Post, and it 
 may properly be said that this place narrowly escaped a historical great- 
 ness. 
 
 ' ' The history of the ancient landmark found on the banks of the 
 Ga-ha-to or Conhocton, Tc-can-nes-to , or 'the post by the river,' is some- 
 what indefinite or conflicting. Stone, in referring to it, says: 'The 
 Painted Post was a noted landmark in the early settlement of western New 
 York, and in the history of Indian affairs long before. It was literally 
 a post of oak timber planted in the ground upon the bank of the Con- 
 hocton creek, within the boundary of New York, but not far from the 
 Pennsylvania line; it was painted in the Indian manner, and tradition 
 avers that it was a monument of great antiquity, erected to commem- 
 orate the death of some celebrated war chief, whose name has been lost 
 in the lapse of years. ' The Indians, it is also related, were in the prac- 
 tice, from generation to generation, of erecting new ones on the decay 
 of the old. 
 
 " Another account is, that the different tribes of Indians, living in 
 this part of the country, were accustomed to assemble here and hold 
 their councils and make their treaties. They erected a large post and 
 painted it red, that it might be more easily known at what place to as- 
 semble, but subsequent history and a thorough investigation has re- 
 moved all doubts surrounding it, and in Judge McMasters' history of 
 Steuben count}' appears a recital of facts which have been accepted as 
 authentic. 
 
 "In the summer of 1779, a party of Tories and Indians, under 
 command of a loyalist named McDonald, returned from an excursion 
 into the Susquehanna settlements, bringing with them many of their 
 wounded. At the confluence of the Tioga and Conhocton rivers, Cap- 
 tain Montour, son of the famous Queen Catherine, a chief of great 
 promise, died of his wounds. His comrades buried him by the river side, 
 and planted above his grave a post on which was painted various sym- 
 bols and rude devices. This monument was known throughout the 
 Genesee forest as 'The Painted Post. ' It was a land-mark well known 
 to the Six Nations, and was often visited hv their braves and chieftains. 
 This account of the origin of Painted Postwas given to Benjamin Pat- 
 terson, the hunter, by a man named Taggart, who was carried to Fort 
 Niagara prisoner by McDonald'sparty and was a witness of the burial of 
 Captain Montour, or at least was in the encampment at the mouth of 
 the Tioga at the time of his death. Col. Harper, of Harpersfield, the 
 well known officer of the frontier militia of New York in the revolution , 
 informed Judge Knox, of Knoxville, in this county, that the Painted 
 Post was erected over the grave of a chief who was wounded at the 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 307 
 
 battle of Hog Back, and brought in a canoe to the head of the Chemung, 
 ■where he died.' Two sons of Queen Catharine accompanied her on her 
 bloody mission to Wyoming, in 1778, and it is said that her fury on 
 that terrible day was excited by one of them being slain in the fight that 
 occurred near Fort Jenkins, the 2nd of July, 1778, two days before the 
 massacre at Wyoming. General Sullivan in his report of the battle of 
 Newtown says that the wounded of the enemy, were taken up the Tioga 
 river, among them, no doubt, were Capt. Montour or Canadasaga; and 
 this noted land-mark erected to his memory. No storied monument or 
 monumental urn could better illustrate their devotion than that rude 
 monument o'er the grave of their beloved chief; a symbol of affection 
 that has given celebrity to this locality for one hundred years, a symbol 
 of affection that gave name to a territory reaching from Big Flats to 
 Genesee, for in the primitive days of the settlers, Painted Post was a 
 word susceptible of broad construction. The original post found here 
 in 1792, from a description by those who saw it, was round in shape, 
 from eight to ten feet high, and stained red. It was standing in 1792, 
 when Capt. Samuel Erwin and Benjamin Patterson first visited this 
 place. In 1803 Capt Samuel Erwin became a permanent resident. At 
 this time the original post had rotted off or was taken down b} r persons 
 unknown and taken to that portion of the town now known as Knox- 
 ville, and the attempt made to steal the original location as well as the 
 original post. The first post erected by the whites was in 1803. This 
 post resembled the first and was erected near the original location. It 
 was larger and higher than the original, having a diameter from eigh- 
 teen to twenty inches, and being from thirty to forty feet in height. It 
 was perhaps the most novel, and at the same time, the first and prob- 
 ably the only register for the Painted Post hotel; the entire surface, as 
 far as could be reached from the end of the old watering trough, which 
 was near it, and some four or five feet above the ground, was covered 
 with initials, names and marks carved upon it. This second post, in 
 danger from decay, was, to avoid the fate of the first one, cut 
 down. Probably a piece maj- have been for some time kept in the 
 loft of the old log hotel. This post, like its predecessor, has lost the 
 date of its standing, but very probably it was about 1820 or '24, the 
 last being the correct date for the substitute sheet-iron Indian. The 
 old original sheet-iron Indian was designed and cut by John Wygant, 
 in the summer of 1824, the value of which at that time was a cow, and 
 he was paid by Francis Erwin, or an equivalent that purchased a cow. 
 Mr. Wygant was considered one of the best of the few mechanics in this 
 vicinity. He was killed some years after in a broil with Henry Borst, 
 who fractured Wygant's skull with a stone, for which Borst suffered 
 legal punishment. ***** 
 
 "At the feet of these hills that stretch away in beautiful and distinct 
 outlines, flow the classic Tioga and Conhocton. They breathe no tale 
 of scenes that transpired so long ago on the listening air, and these 
 fairy islands are slumbering amidst the currents of the rivers as softly 
 in their Eden beauty, as upon the long gone summer days of 1779. 
 'Those stirring days hath like the morning vision fled into the expanded 
 grave of time'. " 
 
 Said Ansel J. McCall on this occasion: "The tradition generally ac- 
 
308 TOWN OF ERWIX. 
 
 credited that it (the Painted Post) was erected to mark the burial of Cap- 
 tain Montour, mortally wounded in the battle of Hog Back, the 29th of 
 August, 1779, is clearly erroneous. A letter extant, dated Niagara, Sep- 
 tember 17, 1779, from a gentleman to E. Pollard, states that Col. But- 
 ler informs him that it was not Capt. Rowland Montour who was 
 wounded at the Hog Back, but John Montour, who was shot in the back, 
 but in a few days afterward was able to repulse a scouting party. A 
 Mr. Gilbert and his family were taken prisoners in Pennsylvania in 
 June, t78o, by a scouting party led by Capt. Rowland Montour and his 
 brother John, and carried to Niagara. Gilbert published an account of 
 his capture soon after. There is no evidence that any noted warrior died 
 from any wounds received in Sullivan's battle. 
 
 ' ' The first person who records his interview with the Painted Post is 
 Freegift Patchin, who, with Capt. Alexander Harper and several others, 
 was captured on the Delaware river April 2, 1780, by Brant, and imme- 
 diately set out on their march for Niagara by the Susquehanna trail. 
 The winter had been unusually severe, the ice and snow had not disap- 
 peared. In a starved condition, some ten days after, the party reached 
 the Conhocton. On its bank they found the remains 01 a horse, or so 
 much thereof as the wolves had left, which probably in the fall 
 before had strayed from Sullivan's army and perished in the winter from 
 cold and hunger. It furnished them an ample meal. ' Near this," says 
 Patchin in his narrative, ' we found the famous Painted Post.' Wheth- 
 er in the Revolution, Dunmore's battles or the French war, an Indian 
 chief had been here victorious ; and this event he had celebrated by 
 causing a tree to be taken from the forest and hewed four-square, paint- 
 ed red, and the number he had killed — wLich was twenty-eight — repre- 
 sented across in black paint, without any heads; while those he took 
 prisoners — which were thirty — were represented in black paint, as the 
 others, but with heads on. 
 
 " If this post had been erected in the fall before, it would have pre- 
 sented a fresh appearance, not to be mistaken by experienced woods- 
 men. Patchin would not have regarded it as an old-time affair. We 
 have no evidence whatever that Indians ever erected monuments to 
 their departed heroes. Indians erect war-posts to commemorate battles, 
 but never head-stones to their dead any more than misers post a notice 
 where their treasures are buried. Colonel Broadhead, who conducted 
 the expedition in August, 1779, from Pittsburgh up the Allegany river 
 — for the same purpose that Sullivan invaded this section — in his report 
 to General Washington, states that some twenty miles above Con-e- 
 wan-go, he found a large Indian village in which was standing a war- 
 post (as he calls it), painted red. It was probably erected for a similar 
 purpose as the one before us. " 
 
 In answer to a communication sent to F. Parkman, LL. D., of Bos- 
 ton, Mass., one of the most noted Indian archaeologists of our day, we 
 received the following reply : " As to the Painted Post, I can only sup- 
 pose that it was used in one of the Iroquois dances — they had between 
 thirty and forty, religious and otherwise. The use of the post can only 
 be a matter of conjecture. ' ' 
 
 For many years ' ' the Painted Post ' ' was a noted landmark through- 
 
TOWN OF ERWIX. 309 
 
 out the regions of western New York and northern Pennsylvania. That 
 it was a favorite haunt of the red men long previous to the settlement 
 by the whites, is abundantly indicated by the great number of Indian 
 relics found scattered in and around the place. Stone hatchets, flint 
 arrow-heads, lance points, pottery, pestles, and many other mementoes 
 of the race, are gathered and preserved. 
 
 The First Organised District, or Town of Painted Post. — This town 
 -was organized in 1791, and comprised the whole territory now embraced 
 within the limits of Steuben county, and possibly Dansville, in Livings- 
 ton count}'. The division was made no doubt, by the justices of the 
 court of sessions, as provided by law, but no official record of the 
 boundary of any town or district set apart b}- them is known to exist. 
 In the maps and tables of the Marshall's report of the census of 1790, 
 all the townships on the Phelps and Gorham purchase that had settle- 
 ments at that time are marked, and the settlements are easily located by 
 reason of the numbers of the townships and ranges. For example, 
 Painted Post is located in No. 2, Second Range, Dansville in No. 6, 
 Seventh Range, etc. In the record of the first town-meeting which 
 was brought to light a few years since by Charles Erwin, we see that 
 representatives from each of the settlements marked on the Marshall's 
 map were present as officers or electors, at the first town -meeting of the 
 "" town of Painted Post, in the county of Ontario." These settlements 
 were included in the present towns of Bath, Canisteo, Dansville, Lind- 
 ley, Campbell, Corning, Erwin, Addison, Tuscarora and Cameron. 
 According to this record Hezekiah Thurber, and not Eli Mead, as given 
 in former histories, was the first supervisor, and met the board at 
 Canandaigua. The first town-meeting was held April 5, 1 791, in the 
 house built by Samuel Harris, or in one occupying the same site, then 
 kept as a hotel by David Fuller, *an agent and tenant of Erwin, the 
 pioneer proprietor of the township. 
 
 At the time of the organization of Steuben county, in March, 1796, 
 the area of the old town of Painted Post was reduced to about eighteen 
 miles square, and comprised townships 1, 2 and 3 in the First, Second, 
 and Third Ranges, or what is now the townships ofCaton, Corning and 
 Hornby, of the First Range, Lindley, Erwin and Campbell of the 
 Second Range, and Tuscarora, Addison and Thurston of the Third 
 
 *Our authority is Charles H. Erwin. Mr. A. J. McCall says : " At the house of 
 George Goodhue, which stood near the creek bridge." Mr. McCall further sa3-s : 
 "' At this town-meeting the Wolcott, Gorton, Calkins, Mead, Thurber and Patterson 
 families were represented. Ben Eaton, the first merchant was present but there is 
 110 definite information when he opened his store. McClure found him here in 
 1793, retailing his goods. At the town-meeting in 1792, the McCormicks and some 
 other families put in an appearance. "

 Range. In 1808, the three last named townships were taken off. In 
 1826, No. 1 and 2, of the Second Range — Lindley and Erwin — were 
 named in honor of the pioneer proprietors, Nos. 1 and 2 of the First 
 Range — Caton and Corning — retaining the unique and time-honored 
 name of Painted Post. Hornby was named in honor of one of the pro- 
 prietors of the Pulteney estate, and Campbell for an early proprietor of 
 that town. Corning was the last township which bore the name of 
 Painted Post and retained it until 1850. Now the name is only applied 
 to the beautiful village which clusters around the ancient site of the 
 Indian relic which once gave name to the whole count y, and her citizens, 
 take pride in perpetuating the name and the relic. 
 
 Early Settlers. — The first permanent settlers as we have shown, were 
 Samuel Harris and his son William, in 1786 or '87. In 1788 came 
 Eli Mead and George Goodhue and families. In 1789 came David Ful- 
 ler and family. In 1790, Bradford Edgeton, William Hincher, James 
 Shaw, with their families, and David Cook, whose family did not come 
 until 1792. Col. Arthur Erwin, the owner of the township, came in 
 the very early spring of 1 79 1 with the intention of making it his perma- 
 nent home. On his return to Bucks county, Pa. , for his family, he had 
 reached his possessions then in Luzerne county— now the site of the vil- 
 lage of Sayre, near Tioga Point, Pa. — and while sitting in the house of 
 his tenant, Daniel McDuffe, he was assassinated by a squatter, who im- 
 mediately made his escape upon a stolen horse. In 1791 came John 
 Wyman and family, Capt. Samuel Erwin, then unmarried, and Major 
 Arthur Erwin, both sons of Col. Arthur Erwin. In 1793 Eldad Mead 
 and family, in 1794 John Mulhollen and family, and several others be- 
 fore 1796. In the latter j'ear came Hugh Erwin, also a son of Col- Ar- 
 thur Erwin. In 1797, Joseph Grant, Jacob Turner, Homer Lane, Asher 
 Lane and John Kemp and families. 
 
 Benjamin Patterson was one of the characters of Steuben county in 
 the earliest days of its settlement. He was born in Loudon county, 
 Virginia, in 1759. His mother was a cousin of Daniel Boone, the first 
 settler of Kentucky. Early in life he removed to Pennsylvania and 
 here amidst its wilds, formed a taste for hunting and the exciting life 
 which he afterwards followed. During the revolutionary war he served 
 in a rifle corps, organized for the defense of the border, and in this ser- 
 vice met with many exciting adventures. Sometimes he was scouting 
 among the most fearless, sometimes skirmishing in the forests with the-, 
 wily savage, and sometimes acting as guide to travelers and emigrants, 
 in the wild woods of the Genesee. For many years his home was near 
 Northumberland, on the west branch of the Susquehanna; but the ad- 
 vent of farmers, the clearing of land and the destruction of game, in- 
 duced him to leave those haunts for the more congenial ones of the

 deeper forest, where he would not be disturbed by the woodman's axe. 
 In 1796 he boated his goods up the river to Painted Post, and kept for 
 seven 3'ears the old tavern at Knoxville. He then moved up two miles 
 above Painted Post, to a farm, which the first year produced a crop of 
 "twenty-two wolves, nine panthers, a few bears, deer, shad and salmon 
 in countless numbers. ' ' He possessed great physical strength, and was 
 never worsted in a hand-to-hand encounter. It is related that a party 
 of Indians, with a few white men, had gathered around a fire, near the 
 Genesee, when the savages began to insult and abuse a white man who 
 stood by, and presently threw him into the fire. He scrambled out, and 
 was again thrown into the fire by the Indians . Patterson , a stranger to 
 them, standing near, sprang forward and dragged the man from the fire, 
 saying, " don't burn the man alive ! " Several of the party then stepped 
 forward and assaulted the hunter, but turned him over to Jones, the in- 
 terpreter, who was supposed to have no equal in a rough-and-tumble 
 fight. Jones was badly beaten, and kept his wigwam for several days. 
 Patterson retained to old age a love for the sports of his youth, and 
 found his chief pleasure in their pursuit. When attending court at Bath 
 as a juryman, he was in the habit of going out early in the morning and 
 shooting a deer before breakfast. When an old man, and living upon 
 his farm upon the Tioga, and game was becoming scarce, he was ac- 
 customed to lay aside his rifle every year when he had killed a hundred 
 deer. He was a man of keen observation, of remarkable memory, of 
 good judgment, intelligent, and of strict integrity. He possessed great 
 powers of narration, interesting not only the rough frontier men , but the 
 educated and refined. The late CL.af Justice Spencer once met him and 
 was so interested in his conversation that he sat up all night to listen to 
 his narrations, and afterwards, whenever he was holding court at Bath, 
 would send for Patterson, provide for him at the hotel, and pass as much 
 time as possible with him when off the bench. Patterson died at Paint- 
 ed Post in 1830. 
 
 In 1 80 1, John E. Evans came to Painted Post and boarded with Ben- 
 jamin Patterson. He afterward purchased a farm a mile and a half 
 south of the village — the C. F. Piatt farm — and built him a house. Mr. 
 Evans was born in the city of London, England, and came to Philadel" 
 phia in 1800. Before leaving England he had been liberally educated. 
 He possessed those businesss qualifications which made him a leading 
 man in the early history of Steuben county. He taught the first school 
 in the town, and numbered among his pupils, some who were subse- 
 quently among the most prominent men of this section, and some who 
 removed to distant states and became reputable citizens. During the 
 war of 1812, Mr. Evans was collector of revenue and afterward post- 
 master. 
 
312 TOWN OF ERWIN. 
 
 In 1803, Capt. Samuel Erwin who had returned to Pennsylvania re- 
 moved from Easton, Pa. to Painted Post with his family and furniture. 
 
 His furniture and goods were carted to Wilkesbarre, the metropolis of 
 the far famed Wyoming valley, on the Susquehanna river, and then 
 shipped on a Durham boat and brought up the rivers to Painted Post. 
 Capt. Erwin, wife and daughter — the latter then about fifteen months 
 old — came the whole distance on horse back, he carrying the child on 
 a pillow in front of him. The distance was about three hundred miles. 
 After a short delay at the house of David Fuller they moved into their 
 new residence, a log house, situated about a mile and a half west of the 
 village. They lived in that house until about 1S11, when the}- moved 
 into the log tavern formerly owned and occupied by David Fuller, 
 where they remained until 1823. 
 
 By this time there had been made in various parts of the town, many 
 new settlements. George Young, father of Col. Francis E. Young, 
 and Edward C. Cooper, settled in the town at an early day. Mr. 
 Young, then a single man, came from Easton, Pa. 
 
 The people living upon these flats have from very early times suf- 
 fered great damage to their crops and lands by floods. In the autumn 
 of 1817, the town was visited with what has been designated " the great 
 pumpkin flood." At that time, few, if any of the settlements extended 
 far beyond the river flats, and the waters overflowed the banks and 
 swept away nearly all the late produce. The pumpkins, which upon 
 the rich soil had grown in great abundance and to a great size, were 
 very conspicuous, covering the face of the deep, swift current. In the 
 month of May, 1833, the valleys of Conhocton and Tioga were again 
 inundated. This flood was caused by heavy showers. It came within 
 twelve inches of reaching the height of the great flood of 181 7, and was 
 much more disastrous. Mills, manufactories, dwellings, bridges, lum- 
 ber, cattle, sheep and swine were swept away by the swollen and re- 
 morseless current Another flood occurred on November 10, 1857. 
 The Chemung river and its tributaries were higher then than at any 
 previous time of which any record exists. In 1865 high water again 
 did great damage, and again on June i, 1889 — at the time of the disas- 
 trous flood which swept away the city of Johnstown, Pa. — and another 
 in November of the same year. Much damage was done by an over- 
 flow caused by heavy rains, in September, 1890. 
 
 Biographical. — Col. Arthur Erwin came from near the city of Antrim, 
 Ireland, before the revolution, and settled at Erwina, Bucks county, 
 Pa., nearly opposite Frenchtown, N. J. He was a gentleman not only 
 of shrewd business habits and untiring energy, but of culture and afflu- 
 ence. He was proprietor of a large landed estate, extending some 
 eight or nine miles along the west bank of the Delaware river. During 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 313 
 
 the revolution he held a commission, and served with some distinction 
 in the American army. Soon after the close of the war, he made a 
 purchase of nearly five thousand acres of land in the Chemung valley, 
 near Tioga Point, and subsequently, in the year 1789, he purchased 
 the township of Erwin and parts of the towns of Canisteo and Hornells- 
 ville. He was twice married, and reared a family of ten children. 
 As before related, he visited his possessions in this vicinity in 1792, ac- 
 companied by his two sons, Samuel and Francis, who were to remain 
 and superintend his business here. On his return to Pennsylvania, he 
 was shot by an ejected squatter, named Thomas, and died in a few 
 hours. 
 
 Capt. Samuel Erwin was born in Erwina, Pa., May 4, 1770, came to 
 Painted Post in 1792, and remained in charge of his father's large pos- 
 sessions here until 1795 or '96. On January 10, 1799, he was commis- 
 sioned by President Adams first Lieutenant in the nth Regt. of United 
 States Infantry, his commission expiring with the President's term of 
 office. President Jefferson, in 1802, commissioned him first Lieutenant 
 of the 2nd Regt. of United States Infantry, and he was subsequently 
 promoted to the rank of Captain. In 1801 he married Rachel Heck- 
 man, of Easton, Pa., and removed to Painted Post, as related elsewhere 
 in these pages, and resided here until his death November 10,1836. In 
 1806, Captain Erwin and his brother Francis, were engaged in mercan- 
 tile business, in which they continued until 181 1. Major Arthur Er- 
 win was their clerk. 
 
 Gen. Francis E. Erwin, the second son of Capt. Samuel Erwin, was 
 born in the town of Erwin, Steuben county, May 3, 1803. During the 
 years 1838 and 1839, he was supervisor of his town. He was elected 
 to the legislature in 1841 and 1842. He married Sophia, daughter of 
 Ansel McCall, of Painted Post, January 23, 1827. 
 
 Capt. Arthur H. Erwin, also a son of Capt. Samuel Erwin, was born 
 in this town Novembr 26, 1805. When a youth he attended an acade- 
 my at Easton, Pa., where he met Frances M. McKeen, his future wife. 
 His boyhood was spent upon his father's farm, and he was also engaged 
 in lumbering. He was a partner in the mercantile business for several 
 years. He married February 2, 1828. Of this union twelve children 
 were born. He died August 1, 1863. 
 
 Charles H. Erwin, son of Capt. Samuel Erwin, was born in this town 
 in 1822. He received an academic education, and on becoming of age 
 inherited the grist and saw-mill at Painted Post, and also the family 
 mansion. Never having been trained to business, his various ventures 
 were therefore unsuccessful. About the year 1870, he published a small 
 volume entitled " The History of Painted Post," taking in the original 
 town of that name, and of the towns that had been formed from it. It was

 an imperfect work, though its compilation involved much research and 
 care — and therefore, subsequently, he decided to rewrite and expand 
 the history, and make it a volume of several hundred pages. This he 
 did, and completed the work two or three years ago, but it has never 
 been published. He took much pains in writing this last history, and 
 we are indebted to him for many facts recorded in the history of this 
 town . It was the task of a number of years to procure the material 
 facts which he had collected. Tradition was unreliable, and letters 
 and statements were scattered among the descendants of the pioneers. 
 But the work of collecting and compiling was congenial to his tastes, 
 and he took much pride in the result of his labor. Mr. Erwin was a 
 man of much intelligence, and when a young man had spent some time 
 in foreign travel. His strong convictions were fortified by the results 
 of investigation, and he was ever trustworthy. He was to have been 
 Colonel of one of the home regiments, but it was decided to give the 
 place to a Democrat, to strengthen the Union sentiment in this section 
 of the state. Mr. Erwin was one of the best known men in Steuben 
 county, consequent upon his interest in public matters, and especially 
 because of his researches in various towns to get facts bearing upon the 
 history of the old town of Painted Post. He was of temperate habits, 
 and his integrity was unquestioned. His greetings were cordial, and he 
 ignored no acquaintance. He was sympathetic, and placed great con- 
 fidence in the fairness and uprightness of all men, unless he discovered, 
 in personal dealings with them, that they were unworthy of confidence. 
 Opinionated, yet tolerant, he set forth his opinions without fear or fav- 
 or, yet did not impugn the sincerity or patriotism of those who differed. 
 Mr. Erwin was a man of fine physique, being upwards of six feet tall, and 
 his frame erect and powerful. In manner he was courteous, kind, ob- 
 liging — and sought to be a gentleman in his demeanor, and in his con- 
 duct as a citizen. He married Antoinette Curtis, daughter of David 
 Curtis, a very amiable and accomplished woman, whose decease a few 
 years since was greatly lamented by a large circle of friends. Mr. Er- 
 win died September 6, 1890. 
 
 Edward Townsend, son of Henry A. Townsend, of Bath, was born 
 in the year 1799. He received an academic education and was study- 
 ing law at Albany when his health gave out and he was compelled to 
 seek out-of-door employment. He married Eliza, eldest child of Capt. 
 Samuel Erwin, in November, 182 1. She was born October 15, 1801, 
 at Easton, Pa. Mr. Townsend was injured by the kick of a horse, 
 from the effects of which he died some days after, in 1826. Soon after 
 the death of her husband, Mrs. Townsend left her home in Athens, Pa., 
 whither they had gone to reside on a farm , and came to Erwin to reside 
 with her parents. 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 315 
 
 Edward Erwin Townsend, son of Edward and Eliza Erwin Town- 
 send, was born at Tioga Point — now Athens, Pa. — January 23, 1825. 
 After the death of his father, the subject of this notice was brought to 
 Painted Post, and lived in the family of his grandfather, Capt. Samuel 
 Erwin, until twenty-four years of age. He married Nancy L- Jerome, 
 September 7, 1848. She was born in Suffolk county, N.Y., March 12, 
 1826. Of this union eight children were born, two of whom are living: 
 Frederick J., of Erwin, and Anna L., wife of Harry C. Heermans, of 
 Corning. 
 
 Col. Francis E.Young was born in the town of Erwin , February 26, 1808, 
 the son of George and Ophelia (Doyle) Young. His father came from 
 Easton, Pa., with the Erwins in 1792, and his maternal grandfather, 
 Samuel Doyle, came from Williamsport with Benjamin Patterson, and 
 was engaged in Williamson's enterprise of opening a road to the Gene- 
 see. Col. Young early learned the tailors trade, but did not follow it 
 long. He has always lived in this town, and is probably the oldest 
 man living who was born in the town. August 12, 1830, Mr. Young 
 married Isabella D. Gray, of Sullivan township, Pa., who is also living. 
 Mr. Young was a colonel of militia, and a member of Gen. Erwin's 
 staff. 
 
 Anthony W. Thompson was born in Maryland, Otsego county , Ma} 7 
 2, 1808. His father, James Thompson, with his family emigrated to 
 the old town of Painted Post, in this county, in 1817. He was a car- 
 penter and joiner by occupation, which his son also ever after followed . 
 Anthony was also an experienced and skillful river pilot in the old 
 rafting days, making his trips to tide- water as often as high water came 
 in the spring time. He married in 1833 an estimable lady, Miss Lucy 
 M., daughter of Col. Elisha Ward, of Reading, a descendant of that 
 gallant soldier, Gen. Artemas, of Bunker Hill fame. 
 
 Thomas Thompson, grandfather of Anthony, was a Scotch Irishman 
 from Ulster, who landed in Philadelphia a short time before the revolu- 
 tionary war. When the first gun was fired at Lexington, he enlisted in 
 the Continental army. Upon his discharge at the close of the war, he 
 settled in Columbia county, N. Y., and in 1793 removed to Otsego 
 county. His son James, the father of Anthony, married there Eliza- 
 beth Burnside, of that county. In 18 17 James, with his family, came 
 to Painted Post. He resided for many years in a log house on the north 
 bank of the Chemung river, at the termination of McCullock's Lane in 
 Knoxville. His father, Thomas, resided with him and died there Oc- 
 tober 9, 1823. James Thompson died about fifty years ago in Erwin, 
 and his wife in 1869. Anthony Thompson died on April 3, 1891. 
 
 Lyman Balcom was born November 19, 1800, in Norwich — now 
 Preston — Chenango county, N. Y. Col. Samuel Balcom, his father, 
 
316 TOWN OF ERWIN. 
 
 was extensively engaged in lumbering in Chenango county. He was a 
 colonel in the state militia, having risen from a private. Lyman Bal- 
 com received a common school education, and was reared a farmer and 
 lumberman. At the age of seventeen , he was a pilot on the Susque- 
 hanna. In April, 1835, he settled in Campbell, and in Erwin in 1852. 
 He bought and sold more than five thousand acres of land. 
 
 Willis J. Savory, son of Ira and Lovina Richardson Savory, was 
 born in Marcellus, Onondaga county, November 28, 1807. Ira Savory 
 settled in Onondaga county previous to 1802, and lived there until 
 1 818, when he located at Campbell. He settled in Painted Post about 
 1823. He died February 9, 1842. Willis J. Savory came to this town 
 with his father and resided here until 1836, when he moved to Che- 
 mung county. He returned to Painted Post two years later and has 
 since resided here. He was engaged as hotel-keeper for over twenty 
 3 _ ears. 
 
 Warren S. Hodgman was born in Stillwater, Saratoga county, De- 
 cember 10, 1824. In September, 1846, he removed to Bath, and worked 
 for his brother, L. D. Hodgman, in his mill. Four years later he set- 
 tled in Painted Post and engaged in the milling business in partnership 
 with his brother. 
 
 William, son of Gardner Brown, was born in Connecticut, June 21, 
 1 801. His father settled at Unadilla, Otsego county, in 1809 and 
 William came to this town in 1836 locating at Painted Post. The 
 following year he moved to Gang Mills. He was a carpenter by trade, 
 and assisted in building the first two-story framed house in Corning, 
 which was built by one Gladwin, a tailor. He married Almina Fox of 
 Otsego count y. 
 
 Barry C. Wood was born in South East, Putnam count}', X. Y., 
 October 17, 1817 and resided there until December, 1837, when he lo- 
 cated at Centreville and five years later moved to Painted Post where 
 he has since resided. He learned the trade of blacksmith in the east, 
 and was for some time engaged in making carriage irons and springs. 
 Since his residence here his business has been exclusively that of gun- 
 smith. He held the office of assessor for eight years. His wife was 
 Mary A. Feegles. 
 
 Physicians. — Dr. Joseph D. Hoare, son of John Hoare, was born in 
 Brooklyn, E. D., June 4, 1865. When two years of age his parentsre- 
 moved to Chatham, N. J., and in 1872 to Corning. Dr. Hoare gradu- 
 ated from the Corning Academy, and in 1887 from the University Medi- 
 cal College of New York. In the fall of 1887 he was elected coroner, 
 which office he held three years. He practiced in Corning in partner- 
 ship with Dr. Argue for nearly two years, when in the spring of 1SS9 
 he removed to Painted Post. 
 
TOWN OF FREMONT. 317 
 
 Painted Post. — In the spring of 1833, Capt. Samuel Erwin first laid 
 out the village plot of Painted Post, that portion lying between the 
 Hornby road and the river, and Hamilton and Steuben streets. The plot 
 was subsequently enlarged — on the east by Gen . F. E. Erwin, H. P. 
 Badger and George W. Patterson and on the west by Charles H. Erwin. 
 The village was incorporated July 18, i860. 
 
 Gang Mills. — About the year 1832, the estate of William Erwin in 
 this town was purchased by Isaac Gray and Messrs. Piatt and Dana of 
 Owego. It embraced an area of about four thousand acres of land boun- 
 tifully supplied with groves of superior pine timber. They built the 
 first mill upon the site since known as Gang Mills. The property has 
 subsequently passed through several hands who carried on here an ex- 
 tensive business in the manufacture of lumber. The timber being ex- 
 hausted, the mills are now idle. 
 
 Cooper's Plains. — It is said that one John Williams, a " Hessian," 
 who had been taken prisoner at Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga, set- 
 tled on lands adjacent to the town line between Erwin and Campbell, 
 about 1795. In 1814 part of this land was bought by Judge McBur- 
 ney and in 1 8 1 5 Alson Pierce and two men by the name of Cobb pur- 
 chased most of the remainder. 
 
 Judge Cooper settled in this part of the town in 1828. He was an 
 only son, and his father resided in Easton, Pa. His son, John 
 Cooper, Jr., was a physician of considerable note and the founder of the 
 village of Cooper's Plains. 
 
 Erwin. — In the spring of 1873 a depot was built near the west line of 
 E. E. Townsend's property, and the station was called Erwin. A post- 
 office was establiseed here and Mr. Townsend appointed postmaster. 
 
 Manufactures. — Painted Post Mills (W. S. Hodgman & Co.,) was 
 built by John Spicer for Samuel Erwin in 1823. In 1851 Johnson & 
 Cook and L,. D. Hodgman became proprietors, and the following year 
 built the saw-mill and the second grist-mill in 1853. It is exclusively 
 a water-power mill and has a capacity of fifty barrels a day. It was re- 
 modeled and rollers added in 1886. 
 
 C. A. Rose's Feed, Cider and Shingle Mill was established by Mr. Rose 
 at Cooper's plains in ths fall of 1889. The feed-mill has a capacity for 
 grinding sixty bushels an hour. It is furnished witha sixteen horse- 
 power engine, and a twenty-two horse power boiler. 
 
 FREMONT* was formed from Hornellsville, Dansville, Wayland and 
 Howard, November 17, 1854. It is an interior town lying north- 
 west of the centre of the county. Its surface is a hilly upland, form- 
 ing a part of the dividing ridge between the Conhocton and Canisteo

 rivers. Its streams are small brooks. The soil is chiefly a shaly loam 
 derived from the desintegration of the surface rocks. It is bounded on 
 the north by Dansville and Wayland, on the east by a small portion of 
 Cohocton and by Howard, on the south by Howard and Hornellsville, 
 and on the west by Hornellsville and Dansville. It comprises for the 
 most part, fine grazing lands, and good wheat and general farming land 
 is found in all parts of the town. The population according to the 
 census of 1890 was 1,037. 
 
 Early Settlement. — The first settlement was made by Job B. Rath- 
 bun, who settled at what is called, " Job's Corners," in the spring of 
 1812, and built the first house in the town. Mr. Rathbun came from 
 Connecticut two years previous to his settlement here, and located in 
 Dansville. Abel H . Baldwin came from Otsego county in 1 8 1 2 . Thomas 
 Buck and sons, — Sylvester and John A. — natives of Washington county, 
 settled near Mr. Baldwin. John A. Buck married Rebecca, daughter 
 of Abel Baldwin, August 24, 1815, and settled on the ridge near by. 
 They were the first couple married in the town. Their son, Charles E- 
 Buck, was the first white child born in the town. The first death was 
 that of Mrs. Amos Baldwin, December 12, 18 15. Joel Everett and 
 David Atherton settled herein 1S13-14 ; Francis Drake and a Mr. Tay- 
 lor in 1 8 15 ; Samuel Sharp, Nehemiah Luther, Stephen Holden, and 
 Edward Markham in 1816. The first school was taught by Lydia 
 Everett in 18 19. Ira Travis was an early settler to the south of Mr. 
 Rathbun. Solomon and Jacob Conderman were early settlers between 
 Baldwin's and Job's Corners. Capt. Joseph Bartholomew, from Wash- 
 ington county, settled south of Job's Corners, in the southeast part of 
 the town. Lemuel Harding settled on the Morrison Harding farm, in 
 1 8 16. Soon after, Oliver Harding, a soldier of the revolution, who left 
 the Wyoming Valley at the time of the massacre, moved into the place 
 with his. sons, Oliver Jr., Justus, Abram and Henry, giving the name 
 of Harding Hill to that part of the town. Samuel Huntley was an 
 early settler who reared a large family, and subsequently moved to 
 Illinois. Robert Killbury and son Robert, came here about 1815, and 
 settled on the William Creidler farm, where they built a double log 
 house. Captain Elijah Strait, who came in 18 15, was the first settler 
 in the north part of the town. Edward Markham and Francis Drake 
 settled near him the following year. Jerry Kinney, George Nutting, 
 Barnard Bray ton, Henry Cotton and Leonard Briggs formed a settle- 
 ment at the head of the west branch of Neil's creek, in 1819. When 
 these settlers came, there was a camp of about twenty Indians on the 
 Cotton place, in the valley, where they hunted during the season. The 
 first clearing in the vicinity of Haskinville was made by Alexander 
 Kelly, on the Isaac Rathbun place. James Rider and William Haskin 
 
TOWN OF FREMONT. 319 
 
 came together from Saratoga county in 1 8 1 8 , and settled across the 
 creek from Henry Cotton. In 1820 Gideon Maynard, from Cayuga 
 county, settled on the Richard Maynard place. Stephen Holden, Sr., 
 settled in the northwest corner of the town in 1816. Russell Cotton 
 came in 18 19. Norman Eldridge was among the earl y settlers. In 
 1817, Levi Gates came from Washington county and Amos Luther, 
 
 father of Nehemiah Luther came from the same county that year. 
 
 Kieffer came from Vermont. Samuel Haskin was also an earl}- settler 
 here. 
 
 Early Items. — The first saw-mill was built in the town by Daniel Up- 
 son, in 18 16, and the first grist-mill, also built by him, was erected in 
 1820. William Haskin opened the first tavern in the town, at Has- 
 kinville in 1836. In the days of the earl} r settlement of this town, 
 wolves were plenty, and we are told that one of the settlers who had 
 penned his little flock of sheep in a high enclosure over night, was as- 
 tonished to find two wolves with them in the morning — unable to climb 
 the high walls, and too much alarmed at the situation to have a taste 
 for mutton. Sometimes wolves would be tracked to the "Knolls" in 
 the south part of the town, when a general hunt would be instituted, 
 the retreat surrounded, and close figuring ensue on the division of the 
 bounty, which was from forty to sixty dollars on each wolf "killed in 
 the town." It is related how a shrewd hunter for years guarded a she 
 wolf's retreat, stealing her young and rearing them until old enough to 
 take a bounty; and how he trapped wolves when they were plentiest, 
 leading them home securely tied, to kill them in his own town "accord- 
 ing to law." In 1818, Daniel Upson, the miller, killed the last elk 
 seen in the town. 
 
 Salmon Gates, born in Hartford, Washington count}' , N. Y., came 
 to Dansville — now Fremont — in 18 15. He took up the farm now 
 known as the William Bills farm, which he cleared. From Bath he 
 came in by way of Loon Lake, following for a great distance the trees 
 which had been notched to show the line of lots. His purchase was a 
 mile beyond any clearing, consequently he was obliged to cut a mile of 
 road through the hitherto unbroken wilderness to his claim. He did 
 not know that he had a neighbor within many miles, but hearing occa- 
 sionally a dog bark in the direction of "Dutch street," he investigated 
 and found the Conderman family there. Arnold Buck, an early settler 
 having lost a sheep found he had a near neighbor in the the person of 
 Salmon Gates whom he discovered while searching for his ewe. 
 
 Many of the early settlers of this town were from the region of the 
 Mohawk river, and were descendants of the Palatinates, who were 
 assisted to emigrate and settle in the Mohawk valley through the "char- 
 ity" of Queen Anne, not far from the beginning of the eighteenth cen-

 tury. Her Majesty, taking into consideration the great sufferings and 
 poverty of the poor Lutherans, having come to England from the lower 
 Palatinat in Germany, was graciously pleased to order that they be made 
 denizens of her kingdom, and furthermore : 
 
 " The Queen, being graciously pleased to send 52 German protes- 
 tants to New York, to settle them there at her own expense. Her Maj- 
 esty, as a further act of charity, is willing to provide for the subsistence 
 of their minister, etc., and provide necessary tools for agriculture to be 
 sent with them, to enable them to begin to make settlements." 
 
 These people were represented as being "very necessitous and in the 
 utmost want, not having at present anything to subsist themselves. That 
 they have been reduced to this miserable condition by the ravages com- 
 mitted by the French in the Lower Palatinat, where the}' lost all they 
 had." 
 
 The settlement of these people in America was ostensibly an act of 
 great charity on the part of "Her Majesty" and the British government; 
 but we learn from the order of her council in relation to these poor per- 
 secuted people that the real object was that ' ' they may be useful to this 
 kingdom, particularly in the production of naval stores, and as a fron- 
 tier against the French and their Indians." 
 
 Samuel Conderman came to this town from the Mohawk Valley in 
 1815, and settled on the farm now owned by Frank Sherwood, opposite 
 the Evangelical church. He came with his family to Bath, and from 
 there cut his way for a long distance before reaching his place. He 
 built the first framed house in the now town of Fremont. It was built 
 by Abram Hoagland, of the Pond Settlement. His wife, Catherine 
 Bauter Conderman, was the first person buried in the Evangelical cem- 
 etery, the burial taking place in May, 1821. 
 
 Lewis Canfield, from Kingsbury, Washington county, settled on the 
 farm owned by the late Horace Zimmerman about. 1816. His wife was 
 Mehi table Coxe, who was reared in Vermont. 
 
 Cornelius Conderman was born in Minden, Montgomery county, N. 
 Y., January 3, 181 2. His father, Adam Conderman, was a soldier in 
 the war for independence, and when very 3-oung was detailed to guard 
 Fort Willett, which was built by Colonel Willett upon a rise of ground 
 on the farm of Marcus Conderman — father of Adam — and which was 
 purchased by Marcus upon his arrival from Holland, whence he had fled 
 on occount of religious and political persecution, being a Protestant and 
 loyalist, about the year 1700. Adam Conderman came with his family 
 to the now town of Fremont, in 1818, and there took up four hundred 
 acres of land, intending a farm of one hundred acres for each of his four 
 sons. He located on what is known as ' ' Dutch street, ' ' about one mile 
 west of ' ' Job's Corners. ' ' The family came in a covered wagon, which 
 was their only shelter at night, and Mr. Conderman drove a few cows,

 making the journey by way of Utica, Geneva and Penn Yan to Bath, 
 and thence by way of Kennedyville to GofF Mills, thence to Howard 
 Flats. The last night of the journey was spent in a covered wagon at 
 Goffs Mills. 
 
 Job Rathbun, then a young man and unmarried, had taken up land 
 at what has since been known as "Job's Corners," and Matthew Buck 
 lived in a log house where the Evangelical church stands. It was at 
 this place that Mr. Conderman settled, paying Buck for his "better- 
 ments. ' ' At times he was obliged to go to Geneva for flour for his fam- 
 ily. The name of Conderman has passed through a variety of ortho- 
 graphical changes, having been spelled Gunterman, Gunderman, Con- 
 terman, Contraman and Countryman before assuming its present form. 
 Cornelius Conderman married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Conder- 
 man, January 8, 1835. They are in the fifty-sixth year of their married 
 life. Seven children have been born to them: Samuel, a soldier in the 
 war forthe Union; Jacob R., died November 25, 1890; Elizabeth, wife 
 of Asa Phillips; Harriet, and Phoebe J., and two that died in infancy. 
 Harriet married, first, Horace Zimmerman, by whom she has three 
 children, viz.: Sherman, Cameron C. and Alice J. Her present hus- 
 band is Charles Schaunberg. Having been reared in the wilderness, 
 Mr. Cornelius Conderman never had any educational advantages except 
 such as were obtained in the rough schools of industry and'experience. 
 Yet from these schools have come the stalwart hearts and strong hands 
 that in former years did the country noble service. Frugal and indus- 
 trious, as the peopl% of the fatherland always are, he retired with a 
 competency nearly a quarter of a century ago, to Hornellsville, where 
 he now resides, though he has never relinquished the management of 
 his farm. 
 
 Daniel Upson, when fifteen years of age, came from Wyoming in 
 Pennsylvania, where his father was killed at the time of the massacre. 
 He drove the cattle from Wyoming up the Susquehanna and to Canisteo, 
 where he remained during the winter to care for the cattle while the 
 rest returned. In the spring his mother and step-father, Solomon Ben- 
 nett came. In 18 19 he purchased a tract of four hundred acres, now 
 comprised in this town, at three dollars an acre, the land company do- 
 nating forty acres more after he erected a mill at Freemont Centre. His 
 wife was Rachel Crosby. Children: Asa, Polly, Benjamin, Hannah, 
 and Phoebe. He died in 1832. Asa Upson was born February 20, 
 1792. He married Elizabeth Yaple, of Tompkins county. They had 
 no children, but reared an adopted daughter, Lydia Stone, wife of D. 
 D. Manhart. *, 
 
 John Kelly came from Springfield, Otsego county, N. Y., in 1820, 
 and settled on the George Collins farm near Haskinville, and after-

 ■ward on the John M. Kelly place, where he resided for fifty-six years. 
 He died September 15, 1S78. John M. Kelly, son of the above, was 
 born September 1, 1836. He was educated in the schools of the town 
 and at Rogersville Union Seminar, and at Oberlin College, Oberlin, 
 O. He has since been chiefly engaged in farming, with the exception 
 of the years he spent in the army. Mr. Kellyenlisted August 20, 1862, 
 in Co. F, 141st Regt. X. Y. Vols., of which he was orderly sergeant, 
 and served until the close of the -war. 
 
 Michael G. Helmer came from Herkimer in 1S28, and settled at what 
 is now Stephens Mills. He married Mary Conderman, by whom he had 
 eleven children, viz.: Adam ; Elizabeth : George and Catherine (twins); 
 Robie : Mary; Jacob; Michael; Melinda : Cyrus, and Benjamin who 
 died in infancy. His farm was new land, all of which he cleared, there 
 being but few settlers here prior to his coming. He died in 1S68. 
 Adam Helmer married Betsey Hame. The children born to them are 
 Electa ; Theodore, and John. Mr. Helmer has spent his life fanning. 
 John Helmer married Ella, daughter of Siphorus Gates. He has been 
 twice elected town clerk, and was appointed postmaster at Stephens Mills 
 August 10, 1889. 
 
 Edward Patterson was born in Northumberland, England. June 21, 
 1808, and when fifteen years of age came with his parents to Otsego 
 county. On April 1, 1832, he came with his father, Roger Patterson, 
 to this town and settled on his present farm. Roger Patterson died in 
 
 1853- 
 
 Elisha G. Stephens, son of Xathan Stephens, 'was born on the site of 
 the village of Addison, March 21, 1S05. In 1809 his father moved his 
 family to Canisteo, subsequently returned to Addison, and again re- 
 moved to Canisteo in 1815. Elisha G. received such educational ad- 
 vantages as was, in his early days, afforded the children of the settlers, 
 and was brought up on a farm. When a young man he learned the 
 trade of mill-wright and carpenter. He lived and did business mam- 
 years in Hornellsville, where he held several local offices of trust. In 
 1S33 he bought of the Upson heirs several hundred acres of land in the 
 now town of Fremont, where for fifty-five years he was extensive^- en- 
 gaged in milling, lumbering and farming. During the agitation of the 
 subject of forming a new town on the western border of the county, the 
 people of Hornellsville were going to force a division which would 
 make Mr. Stephens' centre at Arkport. This he considered deroga- 
 tory to his interests, and set about to form a town of his own, which he 
 accomplished, having for its centre Stephens Mills. Here he built a 
 hotel which he conducted for ten years, and through untiring industry 
 and enterprise has caused to be built a pleasant little village where at 
 the time of his settlement here, were little else than owls and wolves

 to inhabit the place. He married Sarah, daughter of William Bennett 
 of Canisteo. Mrs. Stephens died in 1861. Mr. Stephens has been 
 school commissioner and inspector, highway commissioner, justice of 
 the peace, and for two terms represented his town in the board of super- 
 visors. Although retired from active business, he is still active in mind, 
 and possesses a remarkable memory of the early events in this part of 
 the county. To him we are indebted for many reminiscences presented 
 in this work. 
 
 Solomon Benjamin, accompanied by his son Silas, came from Schuy- 
 lers' Lake, Otsego county, to this town in 1835, and took up the farm 
 now occupied by Silas and Ledran H. Benjamin. There was a slash- 
 ing of two or three acres, and a few apple trees set out on the place at 
 the time of their settlement. The remainder they cleared. Solomon 
 Benjamin married first, Dorcas Hecox. 
 
 Richard, son of Conradt Zimmerman, was born in Minden, Mont- 
 gomery county, March 13, 18 13, and in 1839 came to this town and

 Harrison Russell, son of Joel Russell, was born in Howard, February 
 4, 1839. He has always resided in the towns of Howard and Fremont, 
 where he received his early schooling. Later, he attended the Rogers- 
 ville Seminary. He has been engaged chiefly in farming. In August 
 1862 he enlisted in Co. K, 107 Regt, N. Y. Vols., and served until dis-

 Benjamin Preston came from Penfield — now Webster — Monroe county, 
 in 1837, and settled on the farm north of the Osborne farm. He died 
 in 1852. 
 
 John D. Conderman was born in the town of Warren, Herkimer 
 county, N. Y., September 30, 1820. He was a descendant from afam- 
 ily of Holland protestants, w T ho, according to famil}' tradition, came to 
 this country in the early part of the 1 7th century on account of religious 
 persecutions waged against the protestants in that country. They set- 
 tled near the present site of New York city, the later descendants mi- 
 grating to Herkimer county, New York. 
 
 He was a son of Adam J. Conderman, a veteran of the war of 181 2, 
 who was born in Herkimer county January 31, 1784, and died in the 
 town of Fremont, this county, October 27, 1870. He served as aid- 
 de-camp to General Scott in the memorable battle of Lundy's Lane. 
 After the close of the war he followed the occupation of blacksmith, at 
 what was then known as Page's Corners, in the town of Warren, 
 Herkimer county, N. Y. In 1835 he migrated with his family to what 
 was then known as the town of Howard, now Fremont, in this county. 
 
 His sons, Abram, David, John D., Caleb and Hiram are all well- 
 known to the early inhabitants of this county as an energetic and pros- 
 perous life has been spent by each within its confines. 
 
 John D., an engraving of whom accompanies this sketch, was mar- 
 ried in 1845 to Asenath Spaulding, a daughter of George and Elizabeth 
 Spaulding, old and respected residents of the town of Howard. 
 
 The early portion of his business life was spent as a drover and a far- 
 mer in the town of Fremont. His residence was widely known as a 
 headquarters for drovers in this portion of the state. Such business, 
 though obsolete now, was an important occupation in those days. 
 
 In the difficulties between the Pulteney estate and the farmers of this 
 county who banded themselves together under the name of Anti- 
 Renters for the purpose of resisting the claims of the estate to lands oc- 
 cupied by them and for which they had originally contracted to pur- 
 chase from this estate. Secret meetings, threats and riots were common 
 and though in the hot-bed of the anti-renting element, he maintained a 
 strict neutrality and refused to enlist in the undertaking which in his 
 judgment was more than likely to prove fatal to its instigators. 
 
 He advocated the policy of paying the estate for their lands and to 
 avoid combinations and litigations, which position resulted in consider-

 able ill-feeling on the part of the Anti-Renters, made manifest by the 
 shooting of his stock and other wanton destruction of his property in 
 general, accompanied by menaces of personal violence. Time showed 
 the wisdom of his course, and while they were expending their energy 
 and money in attempting to avoid judgments and resist evictions, he 
 had, by his industry and economy, obtained clear titles to over one 
 thousand acres of this county's best lands. In 1874 he removed to the 
 city of Hornellsville, where the remaining years of his life were spent as 
 a capitalist, and in supervising large property interests in that city. He 
 died at his residence July 17, 1890, leaving a widow and four sons, 
 Frank, a traveling salesman, Lavern, a farmer residing in Fremont, 
 Charles, an attorney and counsellor-at-law, and George, a physician, 
 both now practicing in Hornellsville. 
 
 Fremont Centre (Stephens Mills P. O.) is located near the geo- 
 graphical center of the town. At the time of Mr. Stephens' purchase 
 here in 1833, there was only a little log cabin down in the ravine near 
 the mills, and another occupied by David Dunbar, a preacher, which 
 stood near where Mr. Stephens afterward built his tavern. There was 
 a small clearing made by "Jerry " Carringtonin 1818, and all else was 
 woods. Mr. Stephens repaired the Upson mills and added a separator 
 and smut machine to the grist-mill, a new thing in those days, induc- 
 ing people to come a long distance and even past other mills. A black- 
 smith was induced to locate at the mills and a cooper came to make bar- 
 rels for the flour. One hundred acres of land were cleared the first sea- 
 son. In 1839 a daughter of Mr. Stephens' dying, was buried on the ex- 
 treme corner of the clearing, and afterward the cemetery was located at 
 that point. The Stephens Hotel was built in 1854. During his resi- 
 dence in this place, Mr. Stephens has ever been the leading man, and to 
 him more than to any one else is honor due for the growth and prosper- 
 ity of the little hamlet which bears his name. 
 
 It contains two churches, (Advent and Methodist Episcopal), a 
 school, saw-mill and shoe-last factory, grist-mill, planing andmatching- 
 mill, two blacksmith and repair shops, two general stores and about for- 
 ty dwellings. The mail is received three days each week by stage from 
 Hornellsville to Wallace's Station, going and returning the same day. 
 
 Haskinville is located in the northeast part of the town of Fre- 
 mont and contains a church (Wesleyan Methodist), general store, two 
 blacksmith shops, a feed-mill and about fifteen dwellings. They receive 
 a mail on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday by the stage from Hornells- 
 ville to Wallace, going and returning. The hamlet takes its name 
 from William Haskin, an early settler, who subsequently moved to 
 Avoca, where he died.

 Manufactures . 
 
 Spanlding 's Mill at Fremont Center, now conducted by Luther S- 
 Spaulding & Son, was built by Elisha G. Stephens on the site of the old 
 Upson mills. It is exclusively a water-power mill, and has two runs of 
 stone and a buckwheat mill. This firm are doing first-class custom 
 work and in improvements keep abreast with the times. 
 
 Stephens' Saw-Mill and Shoe-Last Manufactory at Fremont Centre, was 
 built by W. B. Stephens above the Centre in 1877. Ten years later he 
 moved the mill to its present location. It is furnished with a twenty 
 horse-power engine, and its capacity is about eight thousand feet per 
 day. The shoe-last machinery was added in the spring of 1890 and 
 about one hundred and fifty pairs of lasts are turned out in ten hours. 
 
 /. A. Kester' s Planing and Matching- Mill is located at Fremont Cen- 
 tre and is managed by him in connection with his general blacksmith 
 and wagon repair shop. The planing mill was erected by Mr. Kester 
 in the summer of 1890, and he contemplates making material additions 
 — such as wood-turning and scroll -sawing — in the near future. 
 
 Among the industries of the town we would mention the extensive 
 apiaries of W. B. Stephens, who has several hundred swarms of Italian. 
 German, Holy Land and Albino honey-bees, and who also manufactures 
 all kinds of apiarists supplies. Mr. Stephens has had forty years ex- 
 perience in bee culture and does an extensive business, shipping the 
 product of his apiaries to Chicago, Xew York and Philadelphia, besides 
 supph'ing to a great extent the home market with cap and extracted 
 honey.

 and dedicated October 8, 1874. 
 
 GREENWOOD was formed from Troupsburgh and Canisteo, Janu- 
 ary 24, 1827. The town of West Union was taken off in 1845, 
 and a part of Jasper was annexed in 1848. It is one of the west^ 
 ern tier of towns, and is situated south of the centre. It is bounded 
 north by Harts ville, east by Jasper, south by West Union and west by 
 Allegany county. The surface is chiefly a rolling upland. The prin- 
 cipal stream is Bennett's creek, which flows northerly through the east 
 part of the town, in a valley surrounded by hills from four to six hun- 
 dred feet in height. The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam. The pop- 
 ulation in 1890 was 1,306. 
 
 Early Settlement. — In 1820 a road was opened above the settlement 
 made by William S. Thomas, and extended to the salt spring in the 
 present village of Greenwood. A road had been chopped through the 
 valley south to the state line by the land office, but was not cleared 
 at the time of the first settlement ( 1 8 2 1 ) . The next spring Alexander H .

 Stephens in company with Anson Robinson , popularly known as ' ' Rob- 
 inson Crusoe, ' ' commenced the first clearing in the town of Greenwood, 
 about one mile north of the present village, on the R. P. Stephens 
 farm. They worked here during the summer and part of the winter, 
 living in a log cabin and working on their mill, Mrs. John Stephens 
 coming up occasionly to do their cooking. The family did not move 
 into Greenwood until the mill was running. Ezra and John H. Ste- 
 phens were the first to move up the valley, followed soon after by Phin- 
 eas Stephens. After the mill was built settlement along the creek was 
 made very fast. 
 
 Deacon Daniel Manning, from New Hampshire, came in 1823, his 
 family, consisting of his wife and one son, Daniel Manning. Eleazer 
 Woodward, also from New Hampshire, came the same year, and opened 
 a tannery on a small stream to the east, near the mill. Dennis Sanford 
 settled back on the hill towards " Krusen's Corners " in 1824, and about 
 the same time Sebe Norton and Stephen Powell settled in the south- 
 west part of the town on the ridge. Hiram Putnam, John H. Hayt, 
 Joseph and Josephus Batchelder, and Jacob Manning settled along and 
 near the creek. Guy Wardwell lived on the strip of land annexed to 
 Greenwood from Jasper before any other settlement was made in the 
 town. 
 
 In the fall of 1824, Levi Davis, of Dryden, Tompkins county, bought 
 the site of the present village of Greenwood, and settled here. Ira and 
 Randall Pease came soon after, and C. Cobey settled on the Woodbury 
 place. The stream which empties into Bennett's Creek at that point 
 then took the name of Cobey's creek. John J. Holt, from New Hamp- 
 shire, settled across Bennett's creek on the farm now owned by the wi- 
 dow Taylor. On the site of the present school house Hiram Putnam 
 made a settlement, and next above Putnam settled James Henshaw; 
 then came the Ezra Stephens farm, and next, the place of Daniel Ward, 
 who, in company with William Borthwick, of Hornellsville, built a 
 saw-mill here, but subsequently lost the property. Next south of Ward 
 settled Josephus Batchelder, of New Hampshire, and next John Ste- 
 phens, known as " Squire Jack," south of whose place Jacob Manning 
 located, and Benjamin Chamberlain, also from New Hampshire. Next 
 above Chamberlain was the clearing of Hugh Carr, whose wife taught 
 the first school in Greenwood, in a log house on the east side of the 
 road, below the iron bridge near Williamson's mill. The site of this 
 school has been washed away by freshets. Next above Carr's were lots 
 settled by Ezra and Phineas Stephens, and by Uriah F. Stephens. The 
 above named settlers were all here about the year 1825. Col. John 
 Stephens came that year. Enoch Ordway, a patriot of the revolution, 
 settled on the lot where Woodward's mill now stands. On the next lot 
 
TOWN OF GREENWOOD. 329 
 
 south settled Ezra Lovejoy, son-in-law of Ordway. The next farm, now 
 owned by the Davis estate, was settled by Amos Lewis. Then came the 
 Levi Davis farm. South of this point, settlement was made as follows: 
 Josiah Richardson, Stephen, Lyman, Amos and Jesse Wilmot, on the 
 Pease Saxton and Blair farms. Lyman Wilmot built a grist-mill at 
 Rough and Ready. Eleazer Woodward settled on Riggs creek, which 
 stream took its name from a Mr. Riggs, who settled near its head-waters 
 in the town of Jasper. 
 
 George Updike came from Tompkins county in 1828; Benjamin Ed- 
 wards from Newfield in 1830; William Atkins from Enfield in 1832; 
 John Rogers, from Lansing, settled near the old Catholic church in 
 1832; John J. Ducher settled near Krusen's in 1826; Enos Smith came 
 from Seneca county, in 1828, and settled on the hill west of the village; 
 John Balsby settled in the northwest corner of the town in 1828; Rich- 
 ard Krusen came from Dryden in 1825, and opened the cross-roads four 
 miles west of Greenwood village where he kept a tavern until the 
 country had become well settled and railroads changed the routes of 
 travel. Acting as a sub-agent for the land-office at Bath, he did much 
 toward attracting a good class of settlers. Hiram Burger, who lived 
 near Greenwood village, came with his father, Ezekiel Burger, from 
 Troupsburgh, where he was born in 18 15. William Burrows was an 
 early settler near the Allegan} 7 county line, where he built a saw-mill 
 in 1S30; Joshua Goldsmith, a son-in-law of Derrick Krusen, the school- 
 teacher, lived near him. There were many small clearings in that part 
 of the town as early as 1830. 
 
 Early Items. — Before the settlement of this town and while on a hunt- 
 ing tour, Ezekiel Burger, a native of Delaware county, then living in 
 the" town of Troupsburgh, discovered a spring of salt water adjacent to 
 the creek on what is now the Ward farm. This spring was a re- 
 sort for deer and elk, and was well known to the Indians, who watched 
 for them as they came to drink of its waters. The Indians resorted 
 here from a great distance to make salt, bringing with them a kettle 
 borrowed of their white neighbors. Mr. Burger and a Mr. Matthews 
 built a couple of cabins at the spring, one roofed with elm-bark, and the 
 other with what was called a "Stake and ridered roof," that is built in 
 at the top, and the rough-split shingles laid in courses and held in place 
 by stakes or wooden pins. The spring was close to the creek, but a 
 drill had been erected and a well sunk sixty-four feet by hand, when 
 the drill was broken off in the well. Boiling was carried on in kettles 
 until Mr. Davis bought the land, and Mr. Matthew's died, when the en- 
 terprise was abandoned. After the well had been abandoned, for a few 
 days the settlers would come and pump out the water and boil down a

 sack of salt in Burger's kettles until they were taken away. The well 
 was much frequented, as salt was a scerce article in those days. 
 
 The first mill built in the town was, as we have stated, built by Alex- 
 ander Stephens, in i82i-'22, and contained two run of stone. At 
 the time it was built there were no mills nearerthan the Hornell mill at 
 Hornellsville, and the Wombough mill on the Tuscarora, at Addison. 
 In the fall of 1824, Levi Davis built a log house, and in March, 1825, 
 opened a tavern. In one corner of the room a bar was fenced off in 
 which he sold goods consisting mainly of tea, snuff, cotton cloth, to- 
 bacco, pork and whiskey — which sold at the distillery for twenty cents 
 a gallon — oats, hay, and indigo for coloring cloth. This was the first 
 tavern and store in the town. Mr. Davis also commenced the manufac- 
 ture of pot and pearl ashes, which he continned for thirty years. The 
 farmers when clearing their land gathered and saved the ashes, which 
 the\' boiled down in bad weather, selling the black ash at the store. 
 Seven hundred bushels of ashes were required to make a ton of potash, 
 which would be worth from eighty to one hundred dollars. This was a 
 cash commodity, the Liverpool market readily absorbing these chemi- 
 cals. A man could make ten dollars a month by gathering his ashes 
 and making black ash. The first post-office in the town was in Mr. 
 Davis' store. The mail was carried on horseback from Hornellsville, 
 through adense wood, by Joshua L- Chapman, then a boy of fifteen, the 
 journey taking him one day each way. This was in i828-'29. In 1S26 
 Col. Ira Davenport became Mr. Davis' partner. David Foote and Wil- 
 liam Ferguson who bought two village lots of Redmond Davis, a short 
 distance above the store, opened a coffin and furniture manufactory in 
 1830. The same year Benjamin F. Brundage moved from Bath and 
 erected a carding and cloth-dressing factor}', in which he did a success- 
 ful business until its destruction by fire in 1846, when it was replaced 
 by the present flouring-mill. The first butter sent to market from this 
 town was by James McCormick — ' ' High Jimmy ' ' — who shipped three 
 firkins in the summer of 1835. The first wagon brought into the wes- 
 tern part of the town was by Alvin Mead in 1827. His brothers chop- 
 ped the road ahead for him to drive through. It is said that Daniel 
 McCormick built a grist-mill at Rough and Ready in 1832 or soon after. 
 
 Biographical. — Hon. Alexander H. Stephens was born in Canisteo, 
 Septembers, 1S01. He was a son of Col. John and Olive (Franklin) 
 Stephens.* Alexander H. received a good common school education 
 for the days of log school houses. He was married January 20, 1829, 
 to Mary M., daughter of Levi Davis. After his marriage Mr. Stephens 
 began life for himself, clearing the forest, preparing the land for culti-

 vation and carrying on his grist-mill. He cleared the greater part of 
 the one hundred acres given him by his father, and made the first chop- 
 ping in the town of Greenwood. He also erected the first framed house 
 built in the town. For seven years he represented his town in the 
 board of supervisors , and in 184S represented his assembly district in 
 the legislature of the state. He was a man of sterling qualities, and en- 
 dowed with the characteristics of perseverance, independence of thought 
 and action, promptness in all business relations, prudence and good 
 judgement. Mrs. Stephens died September 9, 1866, and Mr. Stephens 
 April 4, 1S79. 
 
 Levi Davis was born in Oxford, Mass., January 8, 1782. He was a 
 lineal descendant in the sixth generation from an ancestor who emigrat- 
 ed from Wales. He married Mary Spurr, a native of Canton. Mass., 
 born August 1 1 , 1782. While a resident of Massachusetts he carried on 
 farming in Charlestown. In 1815, the family removed to Columbus, 
 Chenango county, and remained one year, thence to Dryden, Tompkins 
 county, where they resided until 1825, when they came to Greenwood 
 — then Troupsburgh — and built a log house on the present site of the 
 Ward Hotel. The incidents of a pioneer life — its hardships and priva- 
 tions — were all met by this family. His first purchase was one hun- 
 dred and forty-four acres, to which he made additions of several hun- 
 dred acres. He was an industrious, thorough-going business man, and 
 possessed characteristic integrity in all his business relations. He was 
 interested in the improvements of the town, and in all local matters." 
 He also, from the time of his settlement, for many years kept a public 
 house, in the log house first built by him, and about 1840 built the 
 present Ward hotel as it now is, except the third story. He was also 
 engaged in the lumber business. Mr. Davis was the first supervisor of 
 the town of Greenwood, and also its first postmaster. In the latter 
 office he continued for some twenty-five years following the establishment 
 of the office. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Davis were Redmond 
 S. ; George, who died at the age of four years ; Mary, (Mrs. Alexan- 
 H. Stevens') ; Levi, and John. Mrs. Davis died July 9, 1854, and Mr. 
 Davis July 9, 1863. 
 
 Redmond S. Davis married Jane Porter, who was born in Newport, 
 Herkimer county, X. Y., June 17, 1808. Nathaniel Porter, father of 
 Mrs. Davis, came to Greenwood from Herkimer county in 1827. Mr. 
 Davis was a member of the legislature in 1854. He died December 6, 
 1886. 
 
 John Davis came of New England ancestry. He was a descendant 
 of Samuel Davis, who settled in Roxbury, Mass. , as early as 1642. His 
 grandfather, Capt. Levi Davis, of Oxford, Mass., was one of the gallant 
 band of patriots who hastened to Lexington on the memorable 19th of

 of April, 1775, in response to the midnight alarm spread by Paul Re- 
 vere, and served to the closed of the revolutionary struggle as a captain 
 in the colonial army. 
 
 His father, Levi Davis, was born at Oxford, Mass., January 8, 1782, 
 and was married to Mary Spurr, of Canton, Mass., December 1, 1805. 
 The children of this union who grew to man's and woman's estate were 
 Redmond S., Mary M. — who married Alexender H. Stephens — and 
 John, the youngest, who was born at Dry den, Tompkins count}', N.Y., 
 October 10, 1824, to which place his parents had moved in 18 16. 
 
 In 1825 his father moved with his fantily into what was'then wilder- 
 ness, now comprising the village of Greenwood. 
 
 Here he took up — as an entry on wild land was then called — lot 
 No. 116, and erected a log building which served the general purpose 
 of farm house, hotel and store, and in this primitive building three years 
 later was held the first town election of the town of Greenwood, at 
 which Levi Davis was elected supervisor. 
 
 Here the youthful John grew to manhood, enduring in his earlier 
 years the privations and hardships of pioneer life, but with characteris- 
 tic Yankee energy, the family met and overcame these, and Davises', 
 as the settlement was then called, began early, in local history, to 
 show evidence of prosperity and thrift. 
 
 Disciplined in this school of stern reality, each victory served to give 
 additional strength of character that helped to make Mr. Davis, in after 
 years, a man of wide influence. He acquired his education attending 
 school at Dryden, and afterwards at Alfred Academy. 
 
 At the age of twenty -one he became a partner in the firm of Levi Davis & 
 Sons, which afterwards took the firm name of John Davis & Co., con- 
 tinuing from 1846 until 1853, when Levi Davis retired, and the busi- 
 ness was conducted in the name of Davis & Bros., the partners being 
 John Davis, Redmond S. Davis and Alexander H. Stephens, who re- 
 mained together in business until i860, when John Davis became sole 
 owner. 
 
 In 1 87 1 he formed a partnership with William G. Porter, the new 
 firm taking the name of J. Davis & Co. This partnership lasted until 
 1877. 
 
 In 1882 his son, Levi S. Davis engaged in business with him which 
 continued until Mr. Davis' death, on October 25, 1S83. In addition to 
 his mercantile interests in Greenwood he was extensively engaged in 
 lumbering in different towns about his home and largely interested in 
 lumbering and in timber lands in Michigan . 
 
 With his son Levi S., he was engaged in the sale of coal, grain, hay 
 etc., at Bradford, Pa. 
 
 His various enterprises were all conducted on strict business princi-

 is said to have been the first white person who died in this town. His 
 daughter Sarah was married to Joseph Bivens, in 1798, the first white 
 couple united in matrimony in the town. Their daughter Bethiah 
 Hooker Bivens, was born in 1S00, and was the first child born in the 
 town, of white parents. 
 
 Thomas Hooker, the youngest son of the original family, who died in 
 Naples about 1879 or '80 at the age of ninety-four years, coming here 
 when four or five years old, said that for years there were no white boys 
 here, and his playmates were the little red -skins. His mother kept a 
 tavern after his father's death. 
 
 Selling out to James Woodard in 1802, Rachel Conlej- Hooker moved 
 to Xaples, where she died in 1809. James Woodard married Elizabeth 
 Hooker in 1S07. She died about 1S60. Elizabeth Hooker was the 
 mother of Xelson and Ephraim Woodard, now living here. 
 
 From the History of Steuben county — McMaster's — " It is said that 
 in 1793, Colonel Williamson sent thirty men to open up a road from 
 Painted Post to Dansville, and that on the upper waters of the Conhoc- 
 ton they found a settler who had raised a quantity of potatoes the year 
 before, and that they seized the lot, leaving him none for seed ; but 
 Patterson, the boss, told him to go to Tioga Point and buy seed, pay- 
 ing him five times the worth of them. Also among other improve- 
 ments, was clearing the river so that arks and rafts could be sent down, 
 and a settler some fifteen miles up the river from his mill, above Bath, 
 said he would send a boat load of provisions down in the spring" — 
 showing conclusively that Hooker settled here a number of years before 
 Williamson came to Bath. 
 
 In 1805 Elijah Parker came here and bought of one Wilcox the 
 tavern at the twenty-two mile tree (known formerly as the George 
 Gardner and Alva Peck farm) ; he was also engaged there in making 
 potash, paying for the ashes he bought in goods, buying his go(jds in 
 Canandaigua, and finding a market for his potash there. Thus he be- 
 came the first merchant of this section. 
 
 Joseph Bivens was sent by the agent of the land office at Bath, in 
 1794, to build a house to be used as a tavern for the accommodation of 
 settlers on the Pulteney estate, at the twenty-two mile tree. He came 
 and built the house on the farm owned by the late George Gardner, at 
 the junction of the road up the Conhocton with the road leading from 
 Naples to Dansville. Some four years after, he married the Hooker girl 
 and sold out at the twenty-two mile tree, and built what was known in 
 those days as a double log tavern where the O. Wetmore store and 
 dwelling now stands, which was the first house built at North Cohoc- 
 ton. After roads were laid out throagh that section it was called Biv- 
 ens Corners for some years. It is said he sold out to William Havens, 
 who kept tavern there for a while. He and his brother Joseph came

 here in an early day. Joseph built a large two-story frame building 
 where the Eel Pot road forks off from the Naples road, and kept tavern 
 there for a number of years. He was not a little surprised on awaken- 
 ing one morning to find a dozen Indians stretched on the floor before the 
 fire, who had taken possession while he slept. William Havens sold 
 out the corner to Samuel Hartwell in 1815. He was a soldier in the 
 war of 1812. He and his son Elijah kept tavern here for more than a 
 third of a century. In this house a post-office was established in 182S, 
 with Elijah Hartwell for postmaster. Aaron Hartwell, brother of Eli- 
 jah, lived at the head of Depot street. The old man spent the last 
 years of his life there, dying at nearly one hundred years of age. 
 
 In 1802 James Woodard came from Vermont and bought the Hooker 
 place, his sons settling on the lands near by, all but James, Jr., -who 
 married Elizabeth Hooker in 1807, and went to house-keeping on what 
 is known as the Moultonfarm, just west of where Ephraim Woodard 
 now lives. Nelson Woodard was born there in 1S09, and has lived 
 within half a mile of there since. 
 
 Among the early settlers were Henry and Richard Crouch, taking up 
 the land where Joel Crouch now lives. Henry Crouch was a soldier of 
 18 1 2, but did not live to get home. His widow bought the Hooker 
 place of Woodard in 1S1S, and was afterwards married to Elnathan 
 Wing, with whom she lived to a ripe old age. 
 
 Frederick Blood settled on the farm now owned by Carney Tyler, in 
 1 8 10. He and his sons were hardy, go-ahead fellows. In burning a 
 large fallow the second year after they came, the large log barn which 
 they had built was burned; but Blood was not the man to give up or 
 stop at trifles. He built a mill on the creek that came down near the 
 Ashael Tyler farm, the site now owned by David Waite. The old race 
 crossed at the head of Liberty street. With this mill he sawed out the 
 timber and lumber for a farm barn which he built across the road from 
 the house, and is said to be the first frame building put up in this part 
 of the country. It stood the storms of half a century, and was then 
 moved back of the house. In 18 15 or ' 16 he bought lands where North 
 Cohocton now is, and built a tavern on the site of the Van Riper Ho- 
 tel. It was the first framed building at this point, and naturally, his 
 wide-awake boys gave it the name of "Blood's Corners," a name by 
 which it is known in many localities at the present day, and was the 
 cause of the railway station being called "Bloods." 
 
 Frederick Blood was a native of Germany, and came to this town 
 from Ballston, Saratoga county. He had been enticed into the naval 
 sen-ice when quite a small lad, and had come to America as a drummer 
 boy on board a man-of-war. 
 
 The Moultons and Tylers came here in 1820, and bought of Blood

 two hundred and fifty acres. Rice Moulton lived for many }-ears on 
 the farm now occupied by John O'Connel. The Tylers now own the 
 balance of the Blood farm. Hiram Moulton lived and died on the 
 Moulton homestead, afterward owned by Carney Tyler. 
 
 Daniel Raymond and his sons, Daniel, Roswell, Rufus and Alvah, 
 came here from Wheeler in 1816. They settled in Wheeler in 1804, 
 but from some defect in the title of their new land, they lost ail their 
 work, and the wheat paid for the farm, and they came on here to begin 
 anew, with nothing but their hands and a will to help them. They 
 settled on the land now owned by Joel Crouch and S. Wood worth. 
 His son, Silas, first settled near Kanona, coming here in 1823 on the 
 place known as the H. S. Clason farm. He and his brother Roswell 
 were Friends. Roswell was a preacher of that sect, and held meetings 
 for many years in the school-house in that district. It was known for 
 a long time as Quaker street. Of their many descendants, but one re- 
 mains, Judge Adams' wife, at Bloods, was the daughter of Silas. Silas 
 Raymond made his purchase of one Biddleman. 
 
 It is said that a man by the name of Kirkwood pitched his tent in an 
 early day on the creek that finds its way to the Conhocton across B. S. 
 Healy's farm, hence the name it bears. 
 
 John and Duty Waite, also John Bush, and Chauncey Atwell were here 
 at an early day. John Waite lived where his son Rufus does now, for six- 
 ty years. Elijah Wing bought the land and built the house and barn 
 where Walden now lives; and in 1822 bought out Bagnell. 
 
 David and Abijah Fowler were early settlers, and the lands the3' set- 
 tled on are now owned by the grandsons of Abijah Fowler. Abijah 
 Fowler did a large business in letting or hiring out cattle and sheep , getting 
 from $5 to $30 a year for the use of a yoke of oxen, according to age and 
 weight; cows rented for $3 to $20; sheep were let at weight of wool per 
 head, or in four years return two for one borrowed. He was said to 
 have let out at one time one hnndred yoke of oxen, some of them being 
 thirty to forty miles away. His son, S. G. Fowler, who succeeded 
 him, was for many 3 r ears engaged in the same business. 
 
 John Nicholson was also a man of some note in those days, being a 
 counsellor-at-law and holding various town offices. He was the second 
 postmaster of this office, and lived on the Wilson place, on the road 
 leading to Naples, the buildings standing some distance from the road. 
 On this farm was built, by Sam Salisbury, the first if not the only dis- 
 tillery at this place. 
 
 Dr. F. H. Blakely was the physician here for half a century. It is 
 said his books showed that he had been called at nearly two thousand 
 cases of child birth. He removed from here to Illinois some years 
 since, where he died at the age one hundred and five years. 
 
234 TOWN OF COHOCTON. 
 
 The first school-house built here was constructed of logs, and stood 
 on the north side of the street, opposite Wetmore Brothers' store. It 
 answered for the purpose of school and meeting for many years. A 
 frame one was built to take its place on the corner of the W, Waite 
 place. This was succeeded by one built where E- A. Wetmore now 
 lives. It was sold to Mr. Wetmore, who remodeled it into a dwelling, 
 after which the present large Union School building was erected. 
 
 It is said the first merchant here was Solomon Hubbard, who built a 
 store in 1S20 on the liberty road ;,he continued in the business until his 
 death. Jesse McQuig also built a store on the corner of the Wayland 
 and Depot roads, but after a few years sold out his goods and rented 
 his store. He built a saw-mill on the Kirkwood stream, and was ex- 
 tensively engaged in lumbering at that point for many 5'ears. He sold 
 out and went to Janesville, Wisconsin, in 1S44, and for some time sub- 
 sequent there was no store at this place. In 1S45 W. B. Peabody, of 
 Springwater, put in a stock of goods with O. Wetmore as salesman. 
 The next year Wetmore bought the store and goods. In 1848 his store 
 and contents burned ; he built and rented it for a few 3-ears, after which 
 he moved back into his store and sold goods in company with his 
 brother, X. A. Wetmore. Some years after X. A. Wetmore bought 
 the premises and moved the building away, and put up on the site a 
 store second to none in the county, where the firm of Wetmore Brothers 
 are doing a large business. Mr. Wetmore has done much towards 
 building up the place since he came here. 
 
 W. A. Gilbert, a merchant of Dansville, came here in 1846, bought 
 the Fowler store and moved it where it now stands fronting the Way- 
 land road ; he remodeled and enlarged it, and sold goods there for a 
 third of a century through good and bad times, climbing steadily up 
 fortune's ladder. When he came here there was no church, and he 
 being a Methodist, went to work with a will to have one built, and no 
 man did more towards building the church, than William A. Gilbert. 
 He died at the age of eighty years. 
 
 The first saw-mill built at this place was by Mr. Crawford, at an early 
 day, on the west bank of the river, near where Clark's steam mill now 
 stands. The water was taken from the river in a race-way some twenty 
 rods north, on what is now the Cross place. About 1822, Benoni Danks 
 came here from the Black River country. He, in company with 
 Tucker, who kept tavern on the Twelve-Mile Creek, eight miles south 
 of here, built a saw and grist mill a little east of where the mills of D. 
 S. Waite subsequently stood. A few years later they were burned, and 
 rebuilt by the same parties. Jerry W. Pierce came from Naples in 1838, 
 bought the farm where S. Corey now lives, soon after buying the mill 
 property. Hesold his farm and moved there, where he died. 
 
TOWN OF COHOCTON. 235 
 
 Rice Moulton came here when a lad of fifteen years, in 1820. His 
 sister Mrs. Ashael Tyler, was ten years old when they came. For many 
 years after they became residents of this town their large farm barn 
 (built by Blood) was used for quarterly and other meetings. They 
 came from Saratoga. 
 
 Daniel Thorne, or " Old Thorn," as he was commonly called, lived 
 many years on the farm west of Moulton's. Hewas a noted hunter and 
 trapper in his day and many were the dollars he earned as bounty money 
 for the wolves he scalped, sometimes getting as high as twenty dollars 
 apiece for them. He afterwards became noted as an " anti -renter, ' ' and 
 would neither pay for the farm at the office nor leave it. The sheriff 
 was sent to oust the old fellow, with a number of men to assist ; they 
 found him barricaded in his house, with provisions and ammunition, 
 prepared for a siege. He told them to come on if they wanted to, that he 
 " was not brought up in the woods to be scared by owls," and that the 
 first one who attempted to poke his head through the door would get 
 a bullet through his cranium. The sheriff and his posse were not of the 
 blooded kind, and concluded that the safest way was to let Old Thorn 
 alone. The office compromised with him soon after, and he went west. 
 
 The Clasons were among the first settlers. " Uncle " Reube, as he 
 was called, was grandfather to Wheeler and Munn Clason. He lived 
 here until he became old and childish, and was a firm believer in the 
 final happiness of all mankind. The boys were wont to bother him by 
 saying that the Universalists were all going to hell. The reply of the 
 old man invariably was : "I'll bet you my oxen, sir, that you can't 
 find a Universalist in hell." 
 
 Gratton Wallace lived on the Mrs. Hendryx farm on the Patchinville 
 road where his father settled, lived and died. 
 
 Most of the different churches have had representatives here from 
 Brigham Young and his many wives to the. Roman priest with none; the 
 Methodists outnumbering all the rest. 
 
 Of the twenty-five or more landlords who have flourished at this place, 
 Hartwell, Blood, Liscomb, Nichols and Van Riper have been promi- 
 nent ones. H. A. Grover kept for a while the only voluntary temper- 
 ance house since 1800 was christened. 
 
 In 1 85 1 , when the railroad surveyors reached what is now the village 
 and station of Bloods, they found barely two dwelling houses. Some 
 thirty years before, Caleb Boss came here into the woods and built a 
 house on the corner where the road branched off from the Patchinville 
 road, leading south down the west side of the river, and was known for 
 many years as the back river road. He also built a blacksmith shop 
 across the way on the north side, which was occupied by a number of 
 parties up to 1845, when Darwin Kimball bought the premises from Joel

 Crouch, paying $500 ; he selling the shop and land on the north side 
 of the road to his brother Ro3'al, who made a dwelling house of the shop. 
 In 1852 Elder Cross owned the land on the north side of the road, where 
 the depot buildings now are, and Kimball the lands on the south ; the 
 latter sold out to Hodgman, of Bath, realizing a profit of $2,000 on his 
 $500 investment. 
 
 Asa Watkins built the Mountain View Hotel, and retained it some 
 years. \V. W. Waite bought the Virgil Hotel, built by Finch, enlarged 
 it, and also built the block of stores across the way, and the Farmers' 
 Hotel. The war found him here with a drug and liquor store, and it 
 is said that the rise in the price of liquors which he had on hand at that 
 time was sufficient to build the fine buildings near the river, where he 
 died a few 3'ears since. 
 
 Hodgman built the first store here ; John Oakely conducted a mer- 
 cantile business in it for a while, selling out to J. W. Pierce in 1859. 
 His son John was the manager until the breaking out of the rebellion, 
 when his place was taken by a 3-ounger brother, H. C. Pierce. John 
 was instrumental in raising a company of cavaln r , was commissioned 
 captain , and fell at the head of his men while leading a charge at Mes- 
 ten's ford, Va. His horse galloped riderless back to his place in the 
 ranks, and the bo3's made two unsuccessful attempts to recover his body. 
 He had been promoted to major. His brother Xewcomb was also made 
 a captain during the war. 
 
 When the railroad was being built, a large elm tree was felled a lit- 
 tle south of the station, near where the railroad crosses the Conhocton, 
 on the stump of which, for about six inches through the centre, were 
 plain axe marks where it had been cut down. The marks were sur- 
 rounded by more than three hundred grains, showing conclusively that 
 more than three centuries had elapsed since some one was here with a 
 sharp-edged instrument of some description. The engineer in charge 
 of the work was from Massachusetts, and caused the stump to be sent 
 to a museum in that state. 
 
 A. Adams came among us in 1851, was the first regularly admitted 
 lawyer who hung out a shingle at this place, and was justice of the 
 peace and postmaster. He operated considerable in real estate, built a 
 number of houses , among them those of Delos Clark and Dr . Abrams . He 
 also planted maple trees on Cohocton, Wayland and Depot streets, which 
 will be lasting monuments when he is forgotten. 
 
 Dr. A. L. Gilbert, whose locks are being whitened by nearly four 
 score winters, came here a 3-oung man from the medical college at Cas- 
 tleton, Vt., with energy and perseverance built up a large and success- 
 ful practice, and has also been an extensive operator in stock and real 
 estate. 
 
TOWN OF COHOCTON. 237 
 
 Early Settlers About Liberty. — Jonas Cleland and his son James, came 
 into the town from Pompey, Onondaga county in 1805. That year or 
 the following, Mr. Cleland built the first house between Liberty and 
 Avoca. It stood near the Davis creek. Between Liberty and Naples 
 were two cabins, one the Woodard house before mentioned and that of 
 Joseph Shattuck where the village of Cohocton stands. This house 
 was a prominent one in the town and one of the earliest hotels, and on 
 account of its central location, was the place for holding town-meetings 
 for many years after the town was organized. 
 
 Mr. Cleland bought of the Pulteney estate a tract of land a mile square 
 south of Cohocton, for twelve shillings an acre. He sold his house 
 and a portion of the land to Albertus Larrowe, and then built another 
 house just south of the Davis mill, where he settled with his family. 
 He also built the first saw and grist-mill in the town of Cohocton. The 
 saw-mill was built about 1808; the irons used in it were manufactured 
 in Europe and had been left on the spot by Colonel Williamson, who 
 had undertaken to build a mill here prior to his retirement from the 
 agency of the Pulteney estate, and had proceeded so far as to get out 
 the timber for the dam, and make Dther preparation for building. 
 The grist-mill, built by Mr. Cleland at a somewhat later date, was a 
 great boon to the settlers. Before its erection they had to go on horse- 
 back to Naples or to Dansville with their grist, the roads being such 
 at that early day as not to admit of traveling with any wheeled vehicle. 
 
 Alvin Talbot came into the town soon after and settled on the Dusen- 
 bury farm. Ezra Parker settled on the place owned by the late James 
 Cleland. Job Briggs settled on lands afterward owned by Dennis Con- 
 nor. He was a cooper by trade and followed that occupation. Henry 
 Burrows was an early settler. Ebenezer Keeler settled on Twelve Mile 
 creek at an early day. He was a prominent and influencial man in the 
 affairs of the town. 
 
 Early in the year 1805, Joseph Chamberlain, from Herkimer county, 
 settled on the Davis farm near Cohocton. His effects consisted of a cow 
 and a dog and a few articles tied up in a pack, which he carried on his 
 back. As a substitute for a milk-pail, he chopped a notch in a log, and 
 trained his cow to step astride of it; then milking into the notch, he 
 crumbed in his bread and ate with a wooden spoon. He subsequently 
 kept the log hotel built at Cohocton by Eucius Shattuck in 1810. 
 
 Joseph Stattuck moved from Pompey, Onondaga county, N. Y. to 
 Cohocton and settled on a farm in the south part of the town, near the 
 present village of Wallace, in 1805. He continued to live there until 
 his death in December 18 19, and where his wife also died March 2, 
 1824. The remains of both lie in the old cemetery grounds in Cohoc- 
 ton village. Mr. Shattuck served as a soldier during the revolutionary

 war and was a pensioner at the time of his death. Soon after he settled 
 in Cohocton his sons, Lucius, Truman, Zebina and Alfred moved from 
 Pompey to Cohocton. Truman settled on a farm in the north part of 
 the town and Zebina and Alfred on a farm adjoining their father, 
 where Alfred kept a hotel in the house which is still standing a half 
 mile east of the village of Wallace. Lucius settled near the centre of 
 the town and built almost the first framed house at what was then 
 known as Liberty Corners, now Cohocton, where he lived until his 
 death which occurred November 20, 1852. The only direct descend- 
 ants of Joseph Shattuck now riving in Cohocton are Harvey Shattuck, 
 son of Truman, who resides at Bloods Depot and S. D. Shattuck who 
 resides in the village of Cohocton and is the present editor of the "Co- 
 hocton Valley Times." 
 
 In 1806 Levi Chamberlain and Deacon Horace Fowler* became set- 
 tlers in the town. Among the early settlers were also Timothy Sher- 
 man, James Barnard, Samuel Rhodes, Jesse Atwood, Isaac Morehouse 
 and Charles Burlingham. David Parmenter was a well known citizen, 
 who lived to the age of eighty-seven 3-ears. Philip Cook, father of the 
 late Constant Cook, settled here with a retinue of slaves, it being law- 
 ful at that time to hold slaves in the state of New York. David 
 Loomis, Samuel Leggett, Cornelius Crouch, Libert}' Chamberlain, Dan 
 Davis, John Larrowe and Lawrence Van Wormer were all early settlers 
 in and about Liberty. 
 
 Abrani Lent was the first settler on Lent Hill, locating there in 1S10. 
 He married Betsey, the oldest daughter of Samuel Hartwell, who was a 
 nephew of Roger Sherman. Mr. Hartwell 's wife was Elizabeth Wil- 
 kinson, a sister of the celebrated Jemima Wilkinson, " the prophetess." 
 Samuel Hartwell passed through many adventures during the war of 
 181 2. He was taken by the British and carried to Kingston where he 
 was confined in jail. He succeeded in breaking out, and made his es- 
 cape to the United States. He made his way to Jerusalem, in Yates 
 county, the home of his sister-in-law, Jemima Wilkinson , and afterward 
 moved to North Cohocton. From 1S15 to 1830 he kept hotel there as 
 before stated. This was the second hotel in the place, and was after- 
 ward kept for man} 7 years by his son Elijah. 
 
 Matthew Hatch with his two sons, Philip and Sylvanus, settled on 
 Lent Hill about 181 3. Matthew Hatch died at Lent Hill, and was the 
 first person buried in the Hatch burying-ground. His son, Barnabas 
 C, removed to Jackson, Mich., where he became judge of the county 
 court and a member of the state legislature for that district. He died

 in 1874. John C. and Thomas Bowles were early settlers of Cohocton, 
 and some of their descendants are still residents of the town. 
 
 Jared Barr settled at Trippknock — the corners west of Cohocton — 
 about the year 1807. Afterwards the Tripps — Charles and family — 
 settled there and kept a hotel. They were noted wrestlers and boxers, 
 and probably from this came the peculiar name of the place. It is said 
 that the cognomen was first applied to it by Ben Haight, commonly 
 called "Crazy Ben," who, on one occasion, got rather roughly handled 
 at Tripp's tavern. 
 
 Gideon Potter, Sr., and Anthony Crosby were the first settlers on 
 Potter Hill. Job and Benjamin Briggs settled farther west. At Brown 
 Hill, John Brown and his sons William, Abram. Manville, Sylvanus 
 and Richard were the first settlers. James Armstrong settled on the 
 place where he resided for many years, in 1815. He came with his 
 father, Martin Armstrong., and two brothers and two sisters. Benja- 
 min S. Hoagcame herefrom Montgomery county in 1814. Jacob Ryn- 
 ders, from Massachusetts, settled on the William Miller farm in 1839. 
 Richard Crouch, from Connecticut, settled on the Joel Crouch farm in 
 1815. 
 
 Early Items. — The first school taught in the town was by Sophia 
 Trumbull, in the house originalty built by Jonas Cleland, on the Lar- 
 rowe place. The first school -house was a log building, and was erected 
 near the river on the Dusenbury farm about 18 10. The first tanner}- 
 was built \>y William Walker about 18 16, and was located a mile and a 
 quarter below Cohocton. This tannery was operated about twenty-five 
 years, and was an important establishment in the early settlement of 
 the county. Later, a tannery was established by Richard Treneman, 
 on the site of the old woolen-mill formerly owned by Fredmore & 
 Dance. Soon after the Cleland grist-mill was in operation, Rudolphus 
 Howe, grandfather of the present proprietors of fhe " Prattsburgh 
 News," and Jonathan Danforth of Saratoga, bought an acre of land of 
 Jonas Cleland and erected the first distillery in the town. Latterly Mr. 
 Cleland owned an interest in this distillery, and it continued in opera- 
 tion until about 1833. There was once a brewery at Trippknock, in 
 which Paul C. Cook and Daniel H. Davis owned an interest. 
 
 In 1823, a saw -mill was built on the site of the Hoag mill, by Gabriel 
 Dusenbury and his sons Seth and John, about 1842. Stoning & Brown 
 converted it into a paper-mill and continued to operate it very success- 
 full y for several years. Merritt H. Brown then retired, and his father, 
 Merritt Brown, and his brother Lucius conducted the mill until it was 
 destroyed \>x fire, together with a large dry house, about 1852. Benja- 
 min S. Hoag then bought the property and built a saw-mill upon the 
 site of the paper-mill. This was burned, and he built another which

 was also destroyed by fire in 1875. He then built another mill upon 
 the same site. From the tax roll for the year 1829, we find that there 
 were in the town of Cohocton, — then includingWayland — three hundred 
 and eighty one land owners who resided in the town and paid taxes on 
 from one-fourth of an acre to five hundred and forty-one acres. This 
 latter was the largest estate then owned by any resident of the town, 
 and belonged to Philip Cook. It was valued at $11.42 per acre, and 
 the tax assessed upon it was $1 1 .69. Warren Patchin owned four hun- 
 dred and nine acres in what is now Way land. 
 
 Robert Parker, an elderly circuit preacher, in 181 8 started from Lima 
 through Conesus, Sparta and Cohocton, at the latter place crossing the 
 river on a log leading his horse through the water. He visited Painted 
 Post, Horseheads, Newtown, Geneva and other places. The time re- 
 quired to make the circuit was three months ; and as a recompense for 
 his self denial and hardship he received an old watch and twelve dol- 
 lars in money.

 lumbering affairs, he took great interest in numismatics and made the 
 largest and most valuable collection of coins in the country. He had 
 also an extensive collection of rare books and newspapers. A few years 
 ago he published a most interesting work on church tokens for private 
 circulation. It was in great demand in Scotland, and many demands 
 were made upon him for copies. Mr. Warner served as supervisor of 
 his town several years. He never sought any office, but was pro- 
 nounced in his political opinions. He died in October, 1890.

 Business Industries. 
 
 Cohocton Valley Cigar Company was organized in 1884, with Conrad 
 Shults president. This Compaq- does an extensive business, employ- 
 ing about twenty hands. 
 
 Baiik 0/ Cohocton. — Among the business institutions of Cohocton, we

 IV. E. Adair, dealer in pianos, organs, and general musical merchan- 
 dise, visits nearly every village and hamlet in Western New York. The 
 business was established in 1878, and is constantly increasing. 
 
 Manufactures . 
 
 C- S. Shattucks Planing and Matching- Mill was built by him on the 
 site of one burned on April 12, 1883. The mill is run by a fifteen horse- 
 power engine, does all kinds of planing and matching, making bevel 
 and cove siding and ceiling, wainscoting, etc., and preparing lumber 
 for general building. He also manufactures bee-hives, butter tubs, well 
 buckets, pork and apple barrells, etc. The mill and shops are located 
 on Liberty street at Bloods Depot. 
 
 The Model Roller Mills are located on Maple avenue, convenient to 
 the two railroad depots. The machinery is entirely new and of the 
 most improved patents. These mills make a specialty of fine grades of 
 of flour, corn meal and buckwheat flour. The building is of brick, 
 three stories high, with mansard slate roof. It is furnished with a fast 
 running automatic engine of great power, which usually is kept run- 
 ning night and day. The business was established by G. W. Martin of 
 Brooklyn, N. Y., and F. A. Tobias of Cohocton, who were succeeded 
 by the present proprietors W. E. Adair and L. F % . Drake. 
 
 The A. Larrowe Milling Company '(limited) was organized in February, 
 1890, succeeding the Larrowe Milling Company. The first mill built

 upon the site of the above company's mill was built about 1830, by the 
 
 late N. Chase, of Avoca. It was afterward owned by Wilcox of 
 
 whom A. Larrowe purchased. The present mill is run by steam power 
 and has a capacity for grinding four hundred barrels per day, of flour, 
 and one hundred barrels of buckwheat flour. The machinery is en- 
 tirely new, and a specialty is made of rye-flour, granulated and fine 
 purfied corn -meal for the West India trade, and the finest grades of 
 flour. 
 
 A. H. Wilcox Planing and Matching-Mill was built by him in 1S90. 
 It is run by a twenty-five horse-power engine and its capacity for plan- 
 ing is 20,000 feet a da}\ 
 
 Churches. 
 
 The early settlers in the town of Cohocton were not at the time of 
 their settlement here, pious characters, and no attention for a consider- 
 able period was paid to religious worship. In 1802, when James Wood- 
 ard came into the town with a numerous family his wife being a mem- 
 ber of the Congregational church in the east, an improvement on some 
 of the former efforts to make a beginning was noticeable. Aruna 
 Woodard and his wife Hannah, united with the church at Naples. We 
 are told that there was not a sermon preached in the town until 1807. 
 In that year Elijah Parker and Stephen Crawford with their wives 
 moved into the town, and all of them being members of Congregational 
 churches, public worship was soon after commenced. In the month of 
 May, 1809, Rev. Aaron C. Collins visited this feeble band and preached 
 to them. In June following Rev. Abijah Warren preached to them, 
 when the community engaged him to serve them one-third of the time 
 for a year. A Congregational church consisting of nine members was 
 organized by him, on October 8, 1809. The church had no connection 
 with an}' ecclesiastical body until January 30, 1820, when it was 
 received under the care of the Presbytery of Bath, on the accommodat- 
 ing plan. After the labors of Mr. Warren closed — we do not know 
 whether he remained longer than one year — the church was in a low 
 state for a number of years. In 18 18, Rev. Robert Hubbard appears 
 as pastor, though the date of his settlement is not given. In 1820 Rev. 
 William Stone officiated, and the following year Rev. Aaron C. Collins. 
 In 1823, Rev. Stathan Clary became pastor and remained in charge 
 until 1829 or 1830. The first church edifice was probably erected 
 tinder his ministry. The church was dedicated February 3, 1830. In 
 1833, the society was represented in the Presbytery by its delegates, and 
 thence forward assumed the form and order of the Presbyterian church. 
 After Mr. Clary's pastorate ended, Rev.'s Linus W. Billington, Joseph 
 Crawford, Jeremiah Pomeroy, James H. Hodgkin, Sidney S. Brown 
 and others offciated as stated supplies for short seasons. In the sup-

 port of most of these the society had the assistance of the American 
 Home Missionary Society. 
 
 Rev. I. Strough was pastor from 1S50 until his death in June, 1854. 
 His successor was Rev. \V. L. Andrews, who commenced his labors in 
 1855. Hewas succeeded in 1856 by Rev. A. T. Wood, and Rev. J. 
 Woodruff followed in 1857. Rev. M. B. Gettson of the Naples Presby- 
 terian Church officiated as pastor from 1861 to 1872. Rev. C. B. Aus- 
 tin was installed pastor in 1872 and remained with thechurch till 1876. 
 September 1, 187S, the present pastor, Rev. John Waugh, began his 
 labors. Mr. Waugh celebrated last year — 1 890 — the fiftieth anniversary 
 of his ordination. 
 
 On January 31, 1S34, the church took the following decisive action : 
 
 " Resolved, That this church admit none to its communion hereafter, 
 who are not or do not become members of the temperance cause at the 
 time of their admission . ' ' 
 
 A few years later — in the winter of 1837-38 — the spirit of fanaticism 
 reached its height, as is shown by the following: 
 
 "Mrs. Conn, who had been a member of the church a num- 
 ber of years, and highly esteemed by some, at least, as a women of 
 piety and activity in promoting the cause of Christ, began to take a very 
 conspicuous part in the meetings for social and religious worship. She 
 professed to have special communications from God, and to know the 
 secrets of the hearts of those with whom she was conversant. She as- 
 sumed an authoritative position in the church, and gave out her direc- 
 tions as from God himself, denouncing as hypocrites in the church all 
 who did not submit to her mandates. She predicted the speedy death, 
 in a most awful manner, of particular individuals who opposed her au- 
 thority, and manifested a most implacable rancor against all who did 
 not acknowledge her inspiration. In her proceedings she was assisted by 
 a young man, who for his misconduct had been excommunicated from 
 the church of Prattsburgh. A number of the members of the church of 
 Cohocton were carried away with this delusion, and acknowledged 
 Mrs. Conn as one under the inspiration of the Almighty. So com- 
 pletely were they infatuated, that they seemed to suppose that their 
 eternal salvation depended on the will of Mrs. Conn. They were ready 
 to obey all of her commands, and to assert as truth an3*thing which she 
 should order. Some of them became permanently deranged, and one or 
 two families were nearly broken up. Nor was this delusion confined 
 wholly to the church of Cohocton. Mrs. Conn and her coadjutor went 
 into the county of Wyoming and some in that region were brought under 
 the delusion, and received her as a messenger sent from God. Whether 
 to view Mrs. Conn as an impostor, a wild fanatic, or a deranged person, 
 the writer will not assume the responsibility of determining. Many cir- 
 cumstances would favor the idea of imposture. The writer is informed 
 that she has become a maniac. This circumstancs may favor the idea 
 of mental aberration. But the consequences to the church were most 
 disastrous. For a season Mrs. Conn and her followers bore sway. 
 Nothing could be done in the way of discipline, and the church was com-

 pletely disorganized. After some time had elapsed, the members of the 
 church who remained steadfast, met together, re-organized the church, 
 adopted the Presbyterian mode of church government, and elected rul- 
 ing elders."* 
 
 M. E. Church of Cohodon. — This church was incorporated February 
 24, 1829. The following year a subscription was circulated for the pur- 
 pose of erecting a chapel. The meetings of the society and trustees were 
 held chiefly at the house of Caleb Crouch until the completion of the 
 chapel. Rev. Samuel Bibbins presided at the first annual meeting 
 March io, 1832, and is the first minister mentioned in the record. From 
 1839 to 1845 there are no meetings recorded. A new organization was 
 formed January 13, 1845. In 1873 this church was set off as a separate 
 charge called " Liberty Charge," to which the society at Loon Lake 
 was attached, and so remained until 1877, when it was dropped and 
 Wallace attached. Wallace was dropped in 1878 and Lent Hill at- 
 tached. The church edifice was remodeled and enlarged in 1872. 
 Present membership eighty, value of church property $3 ,000. The pres- 
 ent pastor is Rev. George S. Spencer, who in years past, has been a 
 most indefatigable laborer in Y. M. C. A. work. 
 
 First Univcrtalist Church of Cohodon. — Among the earliest settlers of 
 Cohocton there were man}- of the more respectable and influential citi- 
 zens who believed in the doctrine of the final salvation of all men. Af- 
 ter the Methodist Episcopal church was built — which was by the united 
 means of all denominations with the express understanding and agree- 
 ment that it was to be free to all denominations — they worshipped there 
 until about 185S, when, upon going to the church one morning, found 
 themselves locked out. A meeting was held in September, 1859, and a 
 regular organization formed. Enough money was pledged to warrant 
 commencing a new church building, which was commenced in the sum- 
 mer of i860, and dedicated in September, 1863. No regular services are 
 now held in this church. 
 
 St. Pius Roman Catholic Church. — Rev. Michael Steger was the first 
 missionary priest who officiated here with a view to erecting a church 
 edifice. The present church was built in 1861 . There are eighty fam- 
 ilies connected with this parish. A parochial school, under the super- 
 vision of the resident priest, is taught by two Sisters of Mercy. The 
 average daily attendance of pupils is sixty. Rev. Adolph Geyer, the 
 present priest, was born in Germany, August 25, 1855. He was edu- 
 cated at Hanover, and after his arrival in this country in 1873, pursued 
 his theological studies at Grand Seminary, Montreal. He was ordained 
 in 1883, and has been pastor of the church at Cohocton since 1888. 
 St. Paul's Lutheran Church was established in Cohocton in i860, un-

 der the ministry of Rev. Mr. Strobel. Their church building, when 
 first erected, was 30x40, but has since been enlarged by an addition of 
 sixteen feet. 
 
 Evangelical Lutheran Zion Church is situated in the village of Cohoc- 
 ton, near the depots. The building is a plain wooden structure, 30x40 
 feet, and was erected by this society, which separated from St. Paul's 
 in 1869. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church of North Cohocton and Bloods. — So far as 
 can be ascertained; the first Methodist services were held in this part of 
 the town in 1816, by Rev. Mr. Algate and Rev. Micah Segar. The 
 present membership is one hundred and fifty-five, value of church prop- 
 erty, §5,000. 
 
 M. E. Church of Lent Hill. — About 1831 a class was formed on Lent 
 Hill by Rev. Mr.Norris.and worshipped in a log school house un til the 
 erection of a church building in 1834. The society was known as the 
 First Union Society of Cohocton and Prattsburgh. 
 
 CORNING* township embraces the territory that remained of the 
 original township of Painted Post in 1852, in which year the name 
 of the town was changed to Corning in honor of Erastus Corning, 
 Sr., a distinguished citizen and merchant of Albany, N. Y. and the 
 first president of the Corning Company which founded the prosperous 
 city that now bears his name.. 
 
 This town also contains a "gore" of several hundred acres taken from 
 the southeast corner of the town of Hornb}' and is township No. 2 in 
 Range 1 of the county of Steuben. It is bounded on the north by 
 Hornby, east by the west line of Chemung count}', south by Caton and 
 by the town of Erwin on the west. The town contains 22,400 acres. 
 The city, 1800 acres. 
 
 The surface of the town is divided from northwest to southeast into 
 two unequal upland portions by the valle}' of the Chemung river, the 
 portion on the northeast side being considerably larger and more valu- 
 able than are the uplands on the opposite side of the river. The prin- 
 cipal streams emptying into the Chemung river on its northerly side are 
 the Borden, Post, Narrows and Winfield creeks; on the opposite side 
 Monkey-run and Steel's creek are the chief streams. As an agricul- 
 tural region this town is not above a general average of Steuben county. 
 The first settlements within the present limits of the town were made by 
 Frederick Calkins, and Ephraim Patterson and his son Ichabod in 17S9. 
 
 ^Prepared by Dr. S. B. H. Nichols, of Corning. 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 253 
 
 Mr. Calkins erected his cabin on the south side of the Chemung 
 river, opposite the Chimney narrows. The following spring Calkins, 
 Caleb Gardner, Ephraim Gardner, Justus Wolcott, Peleg Gorton and 
 Silas Wood bought what is now Corning — except the "gore" taken 
 from Hornby — of Nathaniel Gorham and Oliver Phelps, the deed being 
 executed May 10, 1790. 
 
 All of these proprietors except Wood took possession of their lands as 
 early as 1792. A part of Corning city now stands upon the Calkins 
 farm, known as lot No. 14. On March 15, 1792, Caleb Gardner, Ephraim 
 Patterson and others reconveyed to Oliver Phelps ten thousand and forty 
 acres of the lands purchased of Phelps and Gorham, and on April 4th 
 that year Peleg Gorton reconveyed to Phelps two thousand acres which 
 were not to include any flat lands. 
 
 After the purchase of their tract these proprietors had it surveyed by 
 John Konkle and it was apportioned among them by Brenton Paine and 
 Elijah Buck in 1792. All of the parties were not satisfied with the 
 division of the lands and the questions in dispute were submitted in 
 1 801 to William Jenkins, Eleazer Lindsley and John Handley for ar- 
 bitration. Their report left the original division undisturbed, but 
 awarded certain sums to be paid to some of the proprietors as compen- 
 sation for difference in the values of the respective parcels. 
 
 Afterward these original proprietors sold and conveyed several large 
 tracts of land in different sections of the township, which are now known 
 as the Smith and Lenox tract containing three thousand and two hundred 
 acres in the southwest corner of the town; and the Steele and Furman, 
 the Gorton and the Lowe and Hallock tracts on the north side of the 
 river. There are also the eight-hundred acre Steele and Furman tract 
 and the "mile square" on the southerly side of the river, in the south- 
 east part of the town . 
 
 Early Items. — The first grist-mill in the town was built on Post creek 
 by a Mr. Payne and Colonel Henderson in 1793. The first store was 
 opened in 1795 by Benjamin Eaton. The store was situated near the 
 present point of intersection between Bridge and Pulteney streets in the 
 5th ward (Knoxville). In 1796 Colonel Williamson commenced the 
 erection of a large two-story framed building upon a parcel of land af- 
 terward known as the Jennings farm. This was the first two-story 
 framed house in town, and was long known as the Jennings tavern — 
 John Jennings having purchased it of the Pulteney estate in 18 13, and 
 he kept a tavern there until he died, in 1834. This building is still in. 
 a good state of preservation, and has for many years belonged to Rob- 
 ert Sly, Esq., of Knoxville. 
 
 Knoxville, now the 5th ward of Corning city, was founded by and 
 named after the Hon. John Knox, who came to the place in 1795. He

 was an active citizen, and his stirring life was of great usefulness to the 
 community in which he lived. He kept a public house, situated a 
 short distance east of the Jennings tavern, and it was in his hotel that 
 the original Painted Post L,odge of Free and Accepted Masons met and 
 flourished until 1827. 
 
 In 1805 Ansel McCall erected a saw and grist-mill upon the site af- 
 terward occupied by the Hammond & Johnson mills, on the south side 
 of the river below the canal dam. 
 
 In 1824 or '25 Judge Thomas McBurney laid out that portion of his 
 farm where Centerville now is, into village lots, and having set up a 
 high post he claimed it as the site of the original Painted Post, and 
 named his village in embryo accordingly. For a number of 3*ears this 
 was a place of much business activity, and quite a large number — for 
 those days — of enterprising and influential men settled there. 
 
 Philo P. Hubbell, John Arnot and H. H. Matthews, Charles L. Mills 
 Charles E. Osborn, and the late Judge Thomas A. Johnson either 
 lived at Centerville or had important business interests there. 
 
 The first school was taught in Judge McBurney's new village by An- 
 sel J. McCall, an accomplished scholar and lawyer, now living at Bath, 
 in this county. 
 
 Upon the completion of the Chemung canal in 1S33, Knoxville and 
 Gibson, a hamlet across the river from Corning city, became important 
 shipping points by being placed at the head of inland navigation in 
 this section of the state. The abandonment of that canal by the state 
 withdrew from these places business advantages which for a time seemed 
 likely to inflict an injury upon their prosperhy and growth from which 
 they might not recover; but during the past eight years Knoxville has 
 grown rapidly for a rural village of its size, and Gibson shows eviden- 
 ces of decided enterprise and thrift. Within the last ten years Knox- 
 ville has nearly doubled its population, and in 1888 its inhabitants 
 erected an elegant brick school building, and established a graded Un- 
 ion School. The population of Knoxville (now 5th ward), is about 
 fifteen hundred, and a large number of residences and some other build- 
 ings have been erected this year. Knoxville was never surveyed or 
 pjotted as a village by that name. The land between Pulteney street 
 and the Chemung river was first laid out into lots and streets that were 
 known as Port Barton. Afterward additions, such as " Robinson's Ad- 
 dition," the " Judson Plot," etc., were added. 
 
 The building of the D., U. & W. Railroad in 1881, gave new life to 
 Gibson, and the people of that place also erected a very respectable 
 school house in 1887, which has since been enlarged. In its general 
 aspect Gibson has materially improved within the last few years. 
 
 In 1888 the N. Y. L. E. & W. Railroad Co. erected a depot, and a 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 255 
 
 R. R. station and post-office were established at East Corning, near the 
 east side boundary line of the township. On the southwestern side of 
 the Chemung river, about two miles below the village of Coming is a 
 hamlet known as Brown's Crossing. Here there are shops, a grocery 
 store and beautiful country homes, — such as those of the Brown's, 
 Captain S. S. Erwin's, C. K. Wickes' and others whose occupants are 
 to be envied by any person who covets the comforts and repose of rural 
 life. 
 
 The highway from East Corning station on the Erie railroad to the 
 west side line of Chemung county, in its grade and smoothness resem- 
 bles a boulevard rather than an ordinary country road, and for a dis- 
 tance of about one and a half miles it presents one of the most beautiful 
 spectacles of rural scenery in Steuben county. The residences and grounds 
 of Lucius G. Turtle, the late John Storms, J. M. Burt, and more es- 
 pecially those of Mrs. H. B. Noyes and Messrs. A. D. and L. G. Huy 
 are ' ' kept and tended ' ' with a taste and care that would not discredit 
 the best streets of a provincial city. A considerable area in the northeast 
 corner of this town was ' ' taken up ' ' and has been greatly improved by 
 the Martin's, Matthew's, Canfields, Roses and other families who came 
 from Tompkins county nearly or quite fifty years ago. In the south- 
 western part of the town the Barnard's, Frenches and Wilcoxes made 
 settlements and valuable improvements at about the same time. The 
 completion of the Chemung canal in 1833 placed the people of Che- 
 mung and Steuben counties in the state of New York, and those of 
 Tioga and Bradford counties in Pennsylvania in more profitable rela- 
 tions with Alban3 r , and by way of the Hudson river with the commer- 
 cial possibilities of the great western metropolis and the " outside 
 world." 
 
 The late Erastus Corning about that time foresaw that they who 
 would be first to develop the coal and other mineral interests of Penn- 
 S3 r lvania would reap large and lasting benefits. 
 
 In consultation with the successful financier, the late Thomas W. 01- 
 cott, it was determined to organize the Corning Company in 1835. They 
 and their associates Joseph Fellows, Hiram Bostwick, Ansel Bascom, 
 Bowen Whiting, William A. Bradley and Eevin I. Giliss bought about 
 three hundred and fortyacres of land embraced in the corporate limits 
 of the city of Corning. 
 
 It having been ascertained that a railroad could be built from their town 
 site to Blossburg and the coal conveyed thereby cheaper than by any 
 other means, the company obtained a charter for a railroad to the state 
 line at Lawrenceville, where they were met by enterprising Pennsyl- 
 vania parties with a railroad connecting them with the Blossburg coal 
 region. 
 
256 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 The first locomotive that traversed the Tioga valley in 1 839 gave to 
 the village of Corning not only a certificate of existence but a good pros- 
 pect for a prosperous future. 
 
 The place had received its name in 1836, John A. Parcell and some 
 other families had settled here in 1837-8 ; but it was the completion of 
 the Blossburg railroadthatgaveto the city the guarranty of success that 
 has since attended it. 
 
 It was this that induced such enterprising citizens and capitalists as 
 Col. H. \V. Bostwick, Dr. William Terbell, Thomas A. Johnson, the 
 Mallorys, Nelson Somers, H. Gf Phelps, George T. Spencer, Hiram 
 Pritchard, B. \V. Payne and many others distinguished for their energy 
 and thrift to locate here at about that time. 
 
 In 1S40 a printing office was opened and a newspaper called the "Cor- 
 ning and Blossburg Advocate," was published by Charles Adams. 
 
 In 1 84 1 and 1842 there was somewhat of a set-back for the then young 
 village, occasioned by the financial depression which was general through- 
 out the whole country : but from 1842 to 1S49 the ranks of the business 
 men of Corning were re-iuforced by an active, thorough-going class of 
 men who gave a new impetus to its business, and late in the latter year 
 the Erie railroad was completed to this place and Corning stood third 
 on the list of inland shipping points in the state of Xew York. 
 
 The "Corning Journal" had been est- Wished by Thomas Messenger 
 in 1S46 and in 1851 the paper passed into the hands of A. W. McDowell 
 and Dr. George \Y. Pratt. In the latter year the Dickinson House and 
 Concert Hall were completed and the village contained about three 
 thousand inhabitants. 
 
 The petition for the incorporation of the village of Corning was made 
 on August 31, 1 S48, and was granted by the Hon. David McMaster, 
 county judge, September 6th, following. 
 
 William Hood, John P. Shapley and S. T. Hayt were appointed in- 
 spectors of an election held to take the views of the electors upon the 
 question of incorporation. 
 
 The election was held October 25, 1848: and the vote stood one hun- 
 dred and eighteen in favor of to five against it. The first charter elec- 
 tion occurred January 12, 1849, and Horace G. Phelps, Lauren Mallory, 
 G. T. Spencer, Aaron H. Foster, and James S. Robinson were chosen 
 the first board of trustees. At the first meeting of the board Mr. Mal- 
 lory was elected president and Thomas Messinger, clerk. 
 
 The village in 1S51 had a population of rather more than three thous- 
 and inhabitants, good schools were i a operation, its pulpits were well 
 supplied, competent physicians had located here and the place was sup- 
 pled with almost every resource requisite for an enterprisingbusiuess town . 
 In 1850 the Buffalo and Cohocton railway was projected, and such

 men as John Magee and Constant Cook were enlisted in the enterprise. 
 This project was only fairly inaugurated when the Hon. John Magee 
 took possession of the old Blossburg road in 1851. The latter step 
 taken by Mr. Magee led to developing the vast coal regions, since then 
 and now operated by the Arnot, Morris Run and Fall Brook Com- 
 panies. 
 
 During the decade from 1840 to 1850 the ranks of Coming's business 
 men were re-inforced by an active and successful class of citizens who 
 seem to the present observer to have been the founders and makers of 
 its resources and importance. Among them were C. C. B. Walker, S. 
 T. Hayt, William M. Mallory, E. P. Rogers, B. W. Payne and Daniel 
 D. Comstock. 
 
 In 1833, Nichols & Hayt came here from Ithaca, N. Y., and bought 
 the mill property of Rufus Gorton, a son of one of the original proprie- 
 tors of the township. That property was known as the "Hammond 
 and Johnson place" and situated in the southeast corner of the city, 
 was then spoken of as the the "Mills." 
 
 At this place there was in 1834 a grist-mill, a saw-mill, carding and 
 cloth-dressing shop and dye house, and several dwellings. The pro- 
 prietors Messrs. Nichols and Hayt lived in a large double house of two 
 stories and basement. Ward Haviland was the miller, and Anson 
 Tiffany was the head sawyer. This mill property has been in use from 
 an early day, the pond being fed by a brush dam a little above the place 
 where the state or canal dam was afterward built. 
 
 The first mill owner was Ansel McCall. Mr. McCall came to this 
 region from Trumansburg, N. Y., in 1802. Prior to the last date, there 
 had been a log grist-mill — mentioned elsewhere — at the mouth of Post 
 Creek near the west end of the Chimney Narrows, but that mill had no 
 bolting apparatus, and the grain ground was only "chopped," hence 
 each family had to sift out the flour and meal for itself. 
 
 A daughter of Ansel McCall became the wife of General Francis E. 
 Erwin, of the town of Erwin, and was the mother of Capt. Samuel S. 
 Erwin who resides upon a beautiful farm about one mile south-east of 
 Corning city. A new saw-mill was built at the " Mills," and the 
 property was otherwise much improved soon after it was bought by 
 Nichols & Hayt, and for ten years after the organization of the Corn- 
 ing Company, the Mills was a place of much business and social con- 
 consequence. Each member of the firm of Nichols and Hayt had 
 several children. But Mr. James Nichols only remained here until 
 1836, when he moved to Newfield, Tompkins county, from whence he 
 removed to Albany, N. Y., where he resided until his death. 
 
 Within the present limits of Corning city on the south side of the 
 river, there were in 1834, only seven dwellings. 
 
258 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 In a house near the Knoxville bridge David Mallory resided, his 
 brother Lauren owned the farm, and had for those days, and imposing 
 residence near where State street crosses the tracks of the C. C. & A. 
 Railroad. Both of these houses have been torn down within a few 
 years. 
 
 About a half a mile easterly upon the farm then owned by W. A. 
 Bradley of Washington, D. C, was a dwelling, in which John Wolcott 
 lived. Near the Bradley house on the river bank, a warehouse was 
 built in 1834, upon the site now occupied by C. G. Denison. A few 
 rods east of the warehouse, James Calkins lived. James was a son of 
 Frederick Calkins, who came here in 1789, and he was the first white 
 child born in the township. About eight}' rods easterly from the store- 
 house Ben Gaskell lived in a log house near the bank of the river. 
 
 The highway there turned to the south and ran past the ' ' old red 
 house "built by Frederick Calkins about the j-ear 1S00. The next 
 house was occupied by Smith Calkins, and Benjamin Marcy lived not 
 far from the present junction of Third and Mill streets, near the "old 
 burying ground. ' ' 
 
 The Corning Company was formed in 1835, at Albany, N. Y. It 
 consisted of Erastus Corning, Thomas W. Olcott, Joseph Fellows and 
 others. Hiram W. Bostwick soon after came here from Morris, Otsego 
 county, N. Y., to be the attorney and agent of the company. 
 
 Several farms had been purchased, and they were surveyed and laid 
 out into building lots upon a map headed, " City of Corning. - ' The 
 Corning House, a large wooden building of two stories and a basement, 
 was built in the fall of 1836, where the Dickins.011 House now stands. 
 A block of four wooden stores was built the same 5-ear, on Tioga ave- 
 nue nearly opposite the warehouse now occupied bj r C. G. Denison. 
 The Bank of Corning was chartered in 1S40. Hiram W. Bostwick was 
 president, and P. J. Mallory its first cashier. After the death of P. J. 
 Mallory, Laurin Mallory was the cashier until the bank closed business. 
 
 Biographical. 
 
 Frederick Calkins was a native of the state of Vermont. In the sum- 
 mer of 1789, he located on land in the present town of Erwin, near where 
 the Erie railroad bridge crosses the Conhocton river, and commenced 
 clearing a farm. But being apprised that he was on land that had that 
 year been purchased by Col. Arthur Erwin, he withdrew, and in the 
 autumn of that year erected his cabin on the south side of the Chemung 
 river as we have before stated, opposite the Chimney Narrows. The 
 following spring he became one of the original purchasers. 
 
 Ephraim Patterson was a son of John Patterson and grandson of 
 Andrew Patterson of Hamilton. Scotland, who is said to have been ban- 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 259 
 
 ished on account of non-conformity to the established church, came to 
 this country in 1685, and died at Stratford, Conn, in 1746. Ephraim 
 Patterson married Sarah Chandler, in Cornwall, Conn. Their children 
 were Ichabod; Stephen; Luther; Erastus; Lorraine; Mary; Hannah and 
 Betsey. 
 
 After the purchase of this township was made, Ephraim, with his 
 son Ichabod came from New Lebanon, Conn, and located here. Ichabod 
 married a Miss Hayden. Their children were Matthew; Jemina, (Mrs. 
 John McBurney); and Mrs. Dr. Hoyt. Matthew Patterson married Re- 
 becca Erwin, of Northumberland, Pa. Of their children who arrived at 
 maturity were S. Harriet; Robert and Rowley. Ichabod Patterson died 
 when his son Matthew was but eight 3 r ears of age. The latter was fairly 
 educated, taught school, and was for some years employed in the 
 land office at Canandaigua. In 1823, he settled in Sparta, Livingston 
 c ounty where he built two saw-mills and engaged extensively in lum- 
 bering and farming. He afterward moved to Dansville. Parthenia, 
 a daughter of John Patterson, married Col. George McCulloch. Their 
 children were Mary; Lucretia; Caroline; George and Nancy. The lat- 
 ter married David Mallory and the children born of this union were 
 Cordelia, who died at an early age, Caroline and Amelia, (Mrs. Pliny 
 Rouse) . 
 
 Peleg Gorton was born in Rhode Island. When twelve years of age 
 his parents removed to Stephen town in Rensselaer county, N. Y. He 
 came here and located his purchase, but never resided here, as he was 
 killed soon after his return by a run-awa}- team. Most of his sons, 
 however, settled here, and a goodly number of his descendants yet re- 
 main. His sons were Peleg, Jr., Rufus, Benjamin, Moses, Russell, 
 Stephen, Silas and Samuel, a physician. His daughters were* Dorcas, 
 Polly, Abigail and Sally. Peleg, Jr. , Rufus, Benjamin and Moses came 
 here about the year 1797, and before the other members of the family 
 and planted corn and potatoes on the river flats, a small portion of 
 which had been cleared previous to the settlement of the whites. They 
 built a log house which stood near the present residence of Mrs. Eliza 
 Gorton. 
 
 Hon. John McBurney was born in Northampton county, Pa., Au- 
 gust 29, 1796. His father, Thomas McBurney, emigrated from North- 
 umberland county to Steuben about the year 1800, and purchased the 
 D. W. Fuller farm in this town. At once he became a prominent man 
 of the county, and was appointed sheriff in 18 12, and four years later 
 was appointed first judge of the court of common pleas. He died in 
 1828. In 1832 John McBurney was elected a member of assembly from 
 this county, and again in 1853. He died August 7, 1867. 
 
 Capt. Joseph Gillett was a farmer by occupation and one of the 
 
260 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 prominent men of the old town of Painted Post. He was magistrate 
 for fourteen consecutive years, also a supervisor of the town. He was 
 a soldier of the war of 1812. Mr. Gillett died September 29, 1848. 
 
 John Sly was born in Virginia, April 29, 1790, In 1809 he came to 
 Newtown (Elmira) and was soon followed by his father, George Sly. 
 The father of the latter had purchased a farm at Newtown and George 
 Sly settled upon it. About 1815 John Sly came to this town and rented 
 the John McBurneyfarm for two years. A train of misfortune, followed 
 his first efforts here. The first year (1816) the crops failed on account 
 of the coldness of the season, and in 1817 his crops were destroyed by a 
 flood. Subsequently his house and all its contents were destroyed by 
 fire. George Sly lost his property at Newtown and followed his son 
 here. John Sly married Betsey, daughter of John Jennings, born 1789, 
 by whom he had two children, George, born March 2, 18 15, and Robert 
 J., born July 6, 1817. 
 
 William E. Gorton, the first ma3'or of Corning, was born in the vil- 
 lage of Corning, October 19, 1854. , Alonzo H. Gorton, father of William 
 E., was born in Corning — then Painted Post — May 18, 1828. His 
 grandfather, Rufus Gorton, was a pioneer settler and one of the origi- 
 nal proprietors of the township. He was a man of great energy and 
 much ability. Samuel Gorton, the grandfather of the subject of this 
 sketch, was born in 1802, and married Sarah Ann Daley of Millport, 
 Chemung county, N. Y. The youth of A. H. Gorton was mostly spent 
 in the state of Michigan, but soon after reaching his majority he re- 
 turned to his native town of Corning. He was a pattern-maker, car 
 builder, etc., and in i860 entered into the employment of the Fall 
 Brook Coal Company. 
 
 His advancement was rapid, and in four years he became the super- 
 intendent of the C. C. & A. railroad. As the Fall Brook Company ex- 
 tended its business, Mr. A. H. Gorton was continuously promoted, and 
 several years before his death he became the general superintendent of 
 the entire system of railroads operated by this great corporation. 
 
 In 1850 Alonzo H. Gorton was married to Miss Maria L,ouise Alex- 
 ander, daughter of Thomas Alexander, of Ann Arbor, Michigan. 
 Their only surviving child is William E. Gorton. He graduated at the 
 Corning Free Academy in 1872. Soon after this he completed a thor- 
 ough course of instruction at a business college at Poughkeepsie, N.Y., 
 and then entered the State Norman School at Mansfield, Pa. 
 
 From his earliest childhood he was a very active, wide-awake lad 
 and when he was only eight years of age he went about the adjacent 
 country with distinguished speakers to attend the recruiting meetings 
 held to induce soldiers to enlist in the Union army. At this early age 
 he was known as the "Drummer Boy of the Southern Tier," and he

 now frequently meets an aged veteran who clasps him by the hand and 
 exclaims: "Ah, Air. Mayor, I have not forgotten our drummer boy of 
 1863—64." 
 
 Having studied medicine with the elder Dr. Updegraff, of Elmira,X. 
 Y., Mr. Gorton received the degree of M. D. in New York city in 1878. 
 Although greatly interested in the study of medicine, he has never en- 
 tered into active practice of the medical profession. 
 
 Soon after the completion of his scholastic education, he was pressed 
 into railroad service by the urgent advice of his father, who saw the 
 practical importance and opportunities pertaining to such pursuits. 
 
 He was soon promoted from a subordinate position to the important 
 post of assistant superintendent of the Fall Brook system of railways. In 
 this position he was brought into direct contact with nearly all of the 
 ■emplo3'es of the company, and the result of the first municipal election 
 held in the city of Corning attested the high estimation in which he 
 "was held by the several hundred railroad and shop men, a large major- 
 ity of whom voted for him . 
 
 In 1885, Dr. Gorton, under a strong protest from the officials, re- 
 signed from the service of the Fall Brook Company , in order to enter 
 into business for himself. He soon after became a member of the rail- 
 road contracting firm of Griffin & Gorton, which operated largely and 
 successfully in the southern states. About a year after the formation 
 of this company he established the drug house of Gorton & Ter- 
 bell, an undertaking that has been attended with extraordinary suc- 
 cess. 
 
 In 1889 the Corning Iron Works were commenced with a working 
 force of fifteen men. In the brief period of two years, the business has 
 so increased that they now employ about one hundred operatives. Of 
 these works Mr. Gorton is the sole proprietor and general manager. 
 
 The brief mention of the foregoing business enterprises shows that 
 although he is still a young man, Mr. Gorton has been and is a hard 
 working and useful citizen. But the signing of the city charter in the 
 spring of 1890, by Governor Hill, brought Mr. Gorton into new rela- 
 tions with the people of Corning. 
 
 The first municipal election of Corning city was held April 4, 1890. 
 It was an occasion of intense excitement and supreme effort on the part 
 of the contending parties. 
 
 Mr. J. J. Tully, an estimable and popular citizen, had been elected 
 president of the village of Corning but a few weeks prior to the first city 
 contest, and the Republican party naturally nominated him as its can- 
 didate for mayor. The choice of a candidate for this office by the op- 
 position to the Republicans, fell to William E. Gorton, and, after a 
 struggle which brought out the largest vote ever cast within the mu- 
 
262 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 nicipal limits, he was handsomely elected to be the first mayor of the 
 city of Corning. 
 
 The office of mayor of the "Crystal city" has no adequate pecuniary 
 compensation, and Maj'or Gorton has spent many days and weeks in. 
 the discharge of his official duties for which he will receive no reward 
 save the satisfaction arising from a duty well performed. 
 
 He is now serving in the second year of this honorable and responsi- 
 ble position, and his administration has been characterized b\' such 
 marked ability and discretion that it has practically escaped public crit- 
 icism, even from those who opposed his election. The mayor of Corning 
 holds the office two j-ears. About three-fourths of Mayor Gorton's 
 term has at this writing, (September, 1891 ), expired, and it is doubtful 
 if the city ever elects another executive officer whose official conduct 
 will provoke less opposition than his has done up to the present time. 
 
 In 1877 William E. Gorton and Miss Clara Belle Stevens were mar- 
 ried. Mrs. Gorton is the daughter of Peabody Stevens of Buffalo, and 
 a grand-daughter of the late John P. Mitchell, of Leroy, X. Y. They 
 have three children, — two daughters and one son — William E. Gor- 
 ton, Jr. 
 
 Oliver Rouse, one of the pioneer residents of the old town of Painted 
 Post, was born in Jericho, Vermont, May 22, 1790. He received 
 his education at Burlington and then engaged in the mercantile busi- 
 ness at Plattsburg, N. Y. He voluntarily shouldered his musket in 
 the battle of Plattsburg and helped to fight and win that memorable- 
 battle. In 1 8 14 he married Sophia Nash and emigrated to the then 
 town of Painted Post. He was prominently connected with the con- 
 struction of the Chemung canal and in other enterprises to assist in the 
 development of the then infant Corning. He was a pronounced Whig 
 and a willing servant to his party whenever an opportunity for work 
 presented itself. His death at the advanced age of ninety years was the 
 close of a busy and well spent life. His son Pliny A. Rouse was born 
 March 13, 1824, in the present town of Corning and here received an 
 academic education. On October 31, 1865, he married Amelia Mallory, 
 a daughter of David Mallory. The Mallory name is inseparable from 
 the early growth of Corning. Mrs. Rouse was a descendant on her 
 mothers side in the fifth generation from Andrew Patterson who was 
 banished from Scotland in 1685 by King James the Second, for his 
 Presbyterian doctrine, and, exiled from his native land, sought a home in 
 Connecticut in the same year. His great grandson and Mrs. Rouse's 
 great grandfather was Ephraim Patterson who was one of the original, 
 purchasers of Corning township. Mr. Rouse during his lifetime has 
 been activelj r engaged in various pursuits, principally farming. He has 
 been a staunch Republican since the party's birth and has been called 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 upon by his part}- to fill various offices of honor and trust. He has seen 
 Corning grow out of the forest into its present activity. Mr. Rouse has 
 one son, Reuben F., who is engaged in the railroad business and is the 
 present member of the Rebublican County Committee for the town of 
 Corning. 
 
 Fidelis Ferenbaugh came from Strasburgh in 1815, and landed 
 in Philadelphia. He subsequently moved to Dansville, Pa., and in 
 1824 came to this town and settled in Knoxville. When Judge Mc- 
 Burney laid out the plot of Centreville, Mr. Ferenbaugh purchased the 
 first lot. He lived there until his death, in 1850. He married Mary 
 A. Hoover. Their children were Fidelis, Valentine, Joseph, Benedict, 
 Charles, Elizabeth and John D. Mr. Ferenbaugh was a harness-maker 
 and continued in the business until his death. Some of his sons settled 
 on Post Creek in Hornby. 
 
 Hon. Stephen T. Hayt, son of Dr. John Haj-t, was born in Patter- 
 son, Putnam county, N.Y., June 5, 1822. His father was a physician by 
 profession, but was principally engaged in the lumber and milling bus- 
 iness. On May 1, 1833, his parents settled in Corning. Mr. Hayt has 
 been engaged in general mercantile business, and extensively in the 
 lumber trade. Since 1869 he has been engaged in the milling business, 
 and conducts one of the largest merchant mills in the county. In poli- 
 tics, Mr. Hayt is a Republican. He has held nearly all the important 
 offices of the town, beside count}- and state positions. He was for sev- 
 eral terms supervisor, and served twice as chairman of the board. He 
 was elected to the state senate in 1863, and again in 1865. In 1866 he 
 was elected canal commissioner and served three years. He has always 
 taken a deep interest in all that pertains to the welfare and growth of 
 Corning. 
 
 Dr. George W. Pratt was born in 1821 at Milo, Yates county, N. Y. 
 The family removed to Painted Post — now Corning — in 1834. He be- 
 came editor and part owner of the ' ' Corning Journal "in 185 1 , and sole 
 owner and editor in 1853. Dr. Pratt is now the Nestor of the Steuben 
 county newspaper press. He was a Whig, and since the formation of 
 the party has been an ardent Republican. Dr. Pratt is widely known 
 and highly esteemed by his contemporaries of all parties. 
 
 John A. Parcell, son of Samuel and Mary (Woodruff) Parcell, was 
 born in New Jersey, May 15, 181 1. In the year following he removed 
 with his father to Ithaca. He early learned the trade of cabinet-maker. 
 In 1836 he came to Corning, and located a mile below the village at 
 Nichols & Hayt's mills, to wait until the village lots were surveyed 
 and put upon the market. At that place he opened a shop and re- 
 mained there two years. There were then but six houses within the 
 present city limits. One, a plank house, which stood not far from the 
 
264 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 river near Cedar street, was occupied by John Wolcott ; James Calkins' 
 house, half log and half framed, stood a few rods east of Wolcott's, 
 also near the river ; and another small log house near the river bank, 
 still east of Mr. Calkins', was occupied by a man named Overhiser. 
 There was a large house, painted red, which stood on Mill street just 
 below the bend of the road. At the upper end of the village near the 
 bridge were two framed houses owned by Laurin Mallory. Mr. Par- 
 cell built the first shop on Market street, near where Fuller & Gam- 
 man's shoe store now is. The, only dwelling on the street pre- 
 vious to the erection of his was a one -story block of four or five 
 dwellings, put up by the Corning Company to afford a temporary 
 residence for new comers. He also built the first house on Erie avenue. 
 At that time there was no clearing south of his garden, the woods com- 
 ing up to his rear fence. He carried on an extensive furniture business, 
 and for many years was the only undertaker in the town. His establish- 
 ment was burned three times, he being a sufferer by each of the great 
 fires that visited this place. His father, Samuel Parcell, came to this 
 town from Ithaca in 1837, and bought a farm of two hundred acres at 
 Gibson, cleared a large portion of it and sold, buying afterward on the 
 south side. The cemetery was set off from this farm. Mr. Par- 
 cell, St., was bom in New Jersey in 1776, and died here in 1852. 
 
 Hiram W. Bostwick was born in New Milford, Conn., August 28, 
 1802. At the age of sixteen he went to reside at Albany. In 1824 he 
 removed to Laurens, Otsego county, and in 1836 located at Painted 
 Post. He soon after came to this place as the attorney and agent of 
 the Corning Company. He became largely interested in various bus- 
 iness and manufacturing enterprises, and to him was largely due the 
 early prosperity of Corning. 
 
 Nelson Lockwood Somers was born at Butternuts — now Morris — 
 Otsego county, September 20, 1807. His early years were spent upon 
 his father's farm, and in mercantile business at Pultneyville, near Lake 
 Ontario. He returned to Otsego county and engaged in business in the 
 town of Otego, and later became manager for Col. Hiram Bostwick at 
 Laurens. For several years Mr. Somers was deputy sheriff of Otsego 
 county, but through the experiences of that office became so disgusted 
 with politics that he never again would accept office, though repeatedly 
 urged to do so. In the fall of 1836 he bought out his employer, and 
 bringing his goods and a supply of new stock, opened a general store 
 in Corning in a block which stood on Tioga avenue, east of Dickinson 
 House Square. After three or four years he sold out, and in partnership 
 with Samuel Cumpston engaged in the hardware trade, which they con- 
 tinued for a year when Mr. Somers sold his interest and embarked in 
 the lumber business, buying and shipping large quantities of lumber. 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 265 
 
 He continued in the latter business during most of his subsequent life. 
 Mr. Somers was always one of the foremost in matters of public enter- 
 prise and often sacrificed his private interests for the public good. For 
 a period of two years or more, he was associated with Mr. Melvin Clark — 
 now the superintendent of a western railroad — in the management of the 
 Corning House, and there are many who still remember and testify to 
 the wide-spread popularity of that hostelry during the years of Mr. Som- 
 ers' management. He labored hard to oganize and build Christ church 
 in this city, of which he was a faithful officer from it organization until 
 his death. Oftentimes in connection with his personal friend, the late 
 Hon. Thomas A. Johnson, did he give liberally of his private means to 
 sustain this society in its early struggles for existence among a people 
 strongly prejudiced against the forms and doctrine of the Episcopal 
 church. On May 7, 1838, he married Eliza A., daughter of the late 
 John Clark, of Cooperstown, and who has lived in Corning continuously 
 from that date. Mr. Somers retired from active business a few years 
 prior to his death, which occurred on September 20, 1886. 
 
 Laurin Mallory, son of Ebenezer and Eunice (Judson) Mallory, was 
 one of the progressive spirits in the earlier history of the present city of 
 Corning. He was born March 7, 1789. Mr. Mallory was deeplyinter- 
 ested in some of the most important movements toward progress in the 
 then infant town and was always willing to assist others. Mr. Mallory 
 was one of the foremost in pushing forward the Erie railway. In a word 
 he was public spirited and generous toward all. He diedfjune 13, 1861. 
 
 P. Judson Mallory, son of the above, was also prominent in the earl- 
 ier business interests of Corning. He was engaged principally in the 
 banking and mercantile business. He died at the early age of thirty 
 years.

 Hiram W. Pritchard was born at Lawrenceville, Tioga county, Pa., 
 February 7, 18 18. When Mr. Pritchard became a resident of this place 
 there was no village, and only a few houses, one of which was framed; 
 hence he has seen the entire growth of the thriving city of Corning and 
 has been identified with its various interests. Mr. Pritchard is one of 
 the oldest residents of Corning. 
 
 Truman S. Pritchard, son of Hiram Pritchard, was born in Lawrence- 
 ville, Pa., August n, 1837. When less than a year old, his father

 opened a hardware store. For ten }-ears Mr. Pritchard has been chair- 
 man of the Republican county committee, and has also held the office 
 of canal collector and other minor offices. He is also prominent in the 
 Masonic fraternity, being at present Deputy District Grand Master. 
 
 Chester Fassett, born October 22, 1801, came from Salem, Washing- 
 ton count)' to this county in November, 1837. He purchased a large 
 tract of land on Rose Hill where he settled for a time and sold his tract 
 to settlers. Subsequently he moved to Knoxville and assisted 
 in laying out the Knox farm into building lots. Mr. Fassett died Feb- 
 ruary 1 1, 1877. 
 
 Xelson Cowan was born at Spring Mills, now Springport, Cayuga 
 county, X. Y., July 2, 1817. He first came to Gibson in 1S36, and in 
 1S3S settled there. He was engaged in boating and in boat-building for 
 thirty years. He carried en his teat the first csrgo of coal that went 
 from Blossburg to Albany, consigned to Erastus Corning for therolling- 
 mills at Troy, and also brought from there the first iron for the Corning 
 & Blossburg railroad. Previous to the building of the road the coal 
 was handled by teams from Blossburg. Mr. Cowan subsequently be- 
 came largely interested in coal-mining, in which business he continued 
 for twenty-five years, until February 1SS9 when he disposed of his 
 interest to the Butler Mine Company. This was said to be one of the 
 largest transfers of mining property on record, and embraced what was 
 known as the Schooley and Boston purchase. From early life to March 
 1, 18S9 Mr. Cowan was actively engaged in business. He was super- 
 visor of the town for four years during the war and paid to every soldier 
 from the town his bounty. During the war he had sixty-five canal 
 boats, and supplied the interior of the state with much of the coal then 
 used. On July 17, 1S38, he married Emeline A. Whitney. Mrs. 
 Cowan died on January- 30, 1889, and Mr. Cowan on June 25th, the 
 same year. 
 
 William A. Spencer was born in Nassau, Rensselaer county, N. Y., 
 July 29, 1818. Reared on a farm and educated in the common schools, 
 he continued to live in the east engaged in various pursuits until 1840, 
 when he located at Gibson where he has since resided, except for a 
 brief period when he lived in Corning. His business has been princi- 
 pally lumbering and boating. He was one of the proprietors of the 
 Gibson Barrel Company, which was established in 1S68. Mr. Spencer 
 is a man, who, during his long residence here, has always held the con- 
 fidence and esteem of the community'. For fourteen years he was a 
 magistrate, has been commissioner of highways, and has filled other 
 offices. While commissioner he built two bridges across the river — the 
 present Gibson iron bridge and one at Knoxville, which preceded the 
 present Knoxville bridge. He is at present postmaster at Gibson, hav-

 Olney, of Manlius, Onondaga county, N.Y. 
 
 Dwight A. Fuller was born in Cazenovia, N. Y., June 28, 1815. His 
 early life was spent at New Woodstock, Madison county, where he 
 learned the trade of tanner, which he followed until his removal to 
 Corning in 1846. He immediately entered into the grocery business on 
 Market street, and continued in it until the large fire which occurred on 
 May 18, 1S50, wiped out his property. The following year he entered 
 the hotel business. The Erie depot was then where the freight depot 
 is now located, and West Market street was then the principal hotel 
 point. The Western House, his first hotel, corner of State and Mar- 
 ket streets, was removed, and the Terrett House, a large hotel for those 
 days, erected. Mr. Fuller was its first proprietor. He remained there 
 until 1S57, when he sold to E. Bannister, and moved to Illinois. He 
 remained there about one year in the commission business and again 
 returned to Corning. He then opened a grocery store in the Cowley 
 Block. In 1S60 President Buchanan appointed him postmaster, suc- 
 ceeding the late Hon. C. C. B. Walker. President Lincoln's adminis- 
 tration soon followed, and Col. C. H. Thomson was appointed in his 
 stead. Mr. Fuller was also one of the proprietors of the old Arcade. 
 In 1865 his eldest son, George W., purchased the Dickinsoii House, 
 and he assisted in the duties of running that hostelry until the farm 
 was purchased a few years later. His wife was Jane Merrick, of Mad- 
 ison county, who, with his two sons, George W. and Dwight L-, sur- 
 vive him. Mr. Fuller died May 18, 1890. 
 
 Hon. Charles C. B. Walker was born in Drewsville, Cheshire county, 
 N. H., in 1824. In his seventeenth year Mr. Walker entered a hard- 
 ware store as clerk, in Palm5'ra, N.Y. In 1848 he became established 
 in the hardware business in Corning, with the firm name of Cumpston 
 & Walker, in addition to which he engaged in the lumber trade, which 
 he carried on with characteristic industry. His business enterprises be- 
 came intricate and varied in character. Canals, railroads, and public 
 building also engaged his attention, and the many contracts he took for 
 public works were always performed to the fullest satisfaction of the au- 
 thorities. In the spring of 1856 he was appointed postmaster of Cor- 
 ning. He was a delegate to the Democratic national conventions of 
 i860 and 1872. In 1861 Governor Morgan appointed him assistant 
 quarter-master general, with rank as colonel, and he was detailed to the 
 rendezvous at Elmira. At a meeting of the Democratic State Commit- 
 tee in 1 86 1, he was the only one who urged the policy of a union tick- 
 et, and in all the stirring incidents of the war, Colonel Walker was 
 found side by side with the most patriotic. He represented the twenty- 
 ninth congressional district in the United States congress, in which 
 
268 TOWN OF CORXIXG. 
 
 body he served on several important committees. He achieved honor 
 and fortune, and earned a wide-spread reputation and a legion of friends. 
 He died on January 26, 1888. 
 
 Henry Van Campen, grand-nephew of Major Moses Van Campen, 
 was born in Chemung, Chemung county, and came to Corning in 1850. 
 He was engaged in lumbering for many years, but on the breaking out 
 of the war was one of the first to enlist from Corning, entering the first 
 company of the 23rd Regt. in which he served until the close of the 
 war. Mr. Van Campen died in March, 1875. 
 
 George B. Bradley was born in the town of Greene, ccnnty of Che- 
 nango, N. Y., February 5, 1825. His ancestry came to that county 
 from Litchfield county in the state of Connecticut, about the year 1S00. 
 He became a member of the legal profession by his admission to the bar 
 at the city of Oswego, in May, 1848. He commenced practice at Addi- 
 son, Steuben county, in June of that year, and in the winter following 
 he went to Woodhull where he remained until the fall of 1852, when he 
 removed to Corning, where he continued the practice of his profession 
 and still resides. In 1858 he was unanimously nominated by the Demo- 
 crats of the twenty-eighth congressional district as their candidate for 
 representative. 
 
 The district being strongly Republican he failed of an election. 
 In 1 87 1 he was nominated as a candidate for senator in the twenty- 
 seventh senatorial district and made a splendid run, crowding his com- 
 petitor very closety. 
 
 In 1872 he was appointed by Governor Hoffman a member of the 
 State Constitutional Commission of i872-'73, in which he served with 
 credit. In 1873 ne was again nominated for senator and elected by 
 twenty-five hundred majority. He was renominated in 1875 and 
 triumphantly elected. 
 
 In 1877 he was again nominated for the same position in his old dis- 
 trict. The Democrats were entirely satisfied with his past record but 
 the Greenback party in the meantime had been organized in the district 
 which drew largely from the Democratic part>- polling over five thou- 
 sand votes, the Republicans being thoroughly united he was beaten by 
 a small majority. In 1878 he was nominated by the Democratic state 
 convention for judge of the court of appeals and was defeated. In 
 1883 he was nominated and elected as one of the justices of the 
 supreme court in the seventh judicial district, which was largely Re- 
 publican. In 1884 he was designated as one of the justices of the 
 general term of the fifth judicial department. In 1SS9 he was 
 appointed one of the judges of the second division of the court of 
 appeals which position he now fills with great credit. 
 
 Ouincv W. Wellington was born in Moriah, Essex county, X. Y.,

TOWN OF CORNING. 269 
 
 December 27, 1832. Mr. Wellington removed with his parents to Tioga, 
 Pa., in 1845. He engaged in business in Tioga, in 1852. Two years 
 later he came to Corning where he entered the office of the Erie com- 
 pany. In 1859 he entered the George Washington Bank, at Corning, 
 where he remained until September, 1862, when he, in company with 
 Samuel Russell, organized under the individual banking law of the 
 state with the name of Q. W. Wellington & Co.'s Bank. After four 
 years Mr. Russell withdrew his interest, and Mr. Wellington has since 
 been the sole owner of the bank. * 
 
 George Hitchcock was born in Morris, Otsego county, N. Y., April 
 27, 1822. He received such education as the common schools of his 
 day afforded, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen became a clerk in 
 a store, and subsequently engaged in the drug and grocery business. 
 In 1854 he moved to Bath and entered into the hardware trade. He 
 came to Corning in 1859, and was in the store of C. C. B. Walker for 
 eleven years. He has held the office of justice of the peace since 1872, 
 was elected police justice the same year and held the office until the 
 the adoption of the new charter. Mr. Hitchcock was president of the 
 village in 1869. 
 
 Very Rev. Peter Colgan was born in County Caren, Ireland, in 1823. 
 After reaching the proper age, he studied in the private schools of 
 Mount Nungent and Old Castle. Having attained a good business edu- 
 cation there. He then became a student in the diocesan seminary at 
 Naven. Finishing his course and reading logic for one year, he en- 
 tered the famous All Hallows missionary college at Dublin. In 1847, 
 learning from the "Annals of the Faith " that Buffalo, N. Y. had been 
 made into a diocese, with the saintly John Timon, M. C, as a bishop, 
 and that there were only eight English-speaking priests in the large ter- 
 ritory comprising the diocese of Buffalo, he resolved to go there to aid 
 Bishop Timon, arriving in Buffalo the latter part of 1848, towards the 
 close of the Irish rebellion. There he entered a little seminary kept in 
 the Bishop's house and finished his theological course under two very 
 eminent professors, one a Jesuit, Father Kober, and the other a Fran- 
 ciscan, Father Kunz. 
 
 In 1850, the St. Joseph's Cathedral congregation, in Buffalo, was 
 formed by the young priest, and he has since erected churches in James- 
 town, Dunkirk and other places. At Big Flats he built a church some 
 years ago, and but for his indomitable energy the town of Campbell 
 would now be without a church. In November, i860, when Father 
 Colgan came to Corning, he found his people poor and discouraged, 
 ready to start for new fields. Not more than five Catholics owned an 
 inch of land. A poor, dilapidated shanty of a church adorned the cor- 
 ner of the lot where St. Mary's church now stands, and the basement 
 
270 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 of the shanty was used for a school house. His efforts to persuade his 
 people to save their money and invest it in real estate proved success- 
 ful. He then went to the land owners of the village and asked for help 
 to build a respectable church, so he could induce the small congrega- 
 tion to remain. The parties appealed to donated a number of nice vil- 
 lage lots, and thus the cause was helped very much. He persuaded 
 the people to build homes, and to-day there is not a congregation in the 
 diocese of Buffalo so thrifty and enterprising as the Corning congrega- 
 tion. In 1866 the corner stone of St. Mary's church was laid by Right 
 Rev. Bishop Timon. 
 
 The next venture of Father Colgan was to purchase the state arsenal, 
 which was done in 1873, and he converted it into an orphan asylum. 
 In 1 881 he erected a handsome school building, which is a credit to the 
 city. Over four hundred scholars are now attending the school, in 
 charge of the Sisters of Mercy, who also have charge of the orphan 
 asylum. In 1886 the Salvation Army barracks was purchased and re- 
 modelled into a very nice and comfortable chapel for the people living 
 in the eastern part of the city. 
 
 Dean Colgan has always supported ever}- good cause, and since the 
 inauguration of the Land League, himself and his people have given 
 large sums of money toward securing the liberty of down-trodden Ire- 
 land. 
 
 Franklin N. Drake was born in the town of Milton, Crittenden county, 
 Vt., December 1, 1817. At the age of fifteen he began a clerkship in 
 a drug store at LeRo}', N. Y. In the year 1840 he engaged in the hard- 
 ware and grocery trade in which he continued some fourteen years In 
 the spring of 1854 he purchased timber lands in Cohocton and began 
 the manufacture of lumber on an extensive scale, running six mills and 
 shipping his lumber to various northern markets. In 1S66 he sold his 
 lumber interests in Cohocton, having previously, with several others, 
 purchased a tract of coal and timber land near Blossburg, Pa., built a 
 railroad and developed their land for coal and lumber purposes. He 
 was made the general superintendent of the Bloss Coal-Mining and 
 Railroad Company and in 1 867 removed to Corning. The same year 
 the company bought the Tioga Railroad, and Mr. Drake was elected 
 president. He was also elected president of the Blossburg Coal Com- 
 pany. He organized the First National Bank of Corning, in May, 1882, 
 which is one of the most successful monetary institutions in the country. 
 Mr. Drake has been president of the bank since its organization. 
 
 Corning City. 
 
 Early in the spring of 1S88 man}' citizens, most active of whom were 
 F. D. Kingsbury, H. C. Heermans, E. D. Mills, George W. Pratt and 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 271 
 
 F. R. Brown, commenced agitating the project to incorporate Corning 
 as a city. 
 
 Public meetings indorsing the movement were held at the court 
 house, and the text of a city charter was soon forwarded to Hon. Milo 
 M. Acker, the member of assembly from this district, at Albany. 
 
 A bill proposing to create a city out of the village of Corning and its 
 suburbs.was introduced by Mr. Acker in the assembly and passed both 
 houses of the legislature. On account of alleged clerical errors in the 
 act, Governor Hill declined to sign it and the attempt to obtain a city 
 charter that spring, failed. The undertaking was allowed to rest until 
 January, 1890, when it was renewed, and Messrs. E. D. Mills, G. \V 
 Pratt and F. B. Brown were then its most outspoken and energetic ad- 
 vocates. The local opposition to the measure, which existed to a con- 
 siderable extent in 1888, had largely subsided and the second effort to 
 procure a city charter for Corning found the inhabitants practically 
 unanimous in its favor. The Governor approved the law and Corning 
 became a city, de facto, March 20th, 1890. 
 
 The city of Corning is bounded as follows: Beginning on the south 
 bank of the Chemung river and near the Erie R. R. bridge, at the west 
 line of the Corning Company's lands, thence southerly along said west 
 line to the southwest corner of block No. 146; thence easterly along 
 the south line of said block and through the center of Third street, to 
 the center of Fox street ; thence southerly along the center of Fox 
 street to the center of Fifth street; thence easterly along Fifth street to 
 the center of Lexington street; thence southerly in the line of Lexing- 
 ton street to the south line of block 151; thence from said south line of 
 block 151 in a straight line to the southwest corner of the farm of S. T. 
 Hayt, and thence along the south side line of Hayt's land and on the 
 north side line of Hope Cemetery and a continued straight line to the 
 middle of Chemung river. 
 
 Thence along the center of Chemung river to the east line of the 
 Bradley farm, now owned by Lurnan Conover; thence northerly along 
 the east line of said Bradley farm to the north line of the land of D. L. 
 & \V. R. R. Company; thence westerly along the north line of said rail- 
 road to the west line of the land of John McBurney; thence northerly 
 on said McBurney s west line to a point far enough north so that a 
 straight line drawn westerly will meet the east end of the highway run- 
 ning westerly along the north line of the lands of Blair, Robertson and 
 others, to the west end of said highway; thence northwesterly to the 
 highway leading to Hornby at its intersection with the highway lead- 
 ing to Painted Post; thence westerly along said last mentioned highway 
 to the west line of the " Dwight Fuller " farm; thence southerly along 
 the west side line of said farm to the the north line of Pulteney street — 
 
272 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 being the highway between ' ' Knoxville ' ' and Painted Post — and 
 thence southerly in a straight line across the Chemung river to the 
 place of beginning. These boundaries contain abont 1800 acres of 
 land. 
 
 First Electio7i . — The public announcement, in March, 1890, that "the 
 Governor had signed the Charter, ' ' was hailed with many manifesta" 
 tions of joy; the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, blowing of steam 
 whistles and shouts of the small boys, all attested the general satisfac- 
 tion of the people over the result. 
 
 In accordance with a provision in the new charter, the trustees ofthe 
 village of Corning immediately called an election to be held upon 
 April 2, and at which candidates for the following offices were elected, 
 viz.: a mayor, a recorder, a chamberlain, three assessors, two justices 
 of the peace, an overseer ofthe poor, a sealer of weights and measures, 
 and a game constable, also a supervisor from the 1st and 2d wards, a 
 supervisor from the 3d and 4th wards, a supervisor from the 5th ward, 
 and two aldermen and two inspectors of election from each one of the 
 five wards in the city. The excise commissioners, police commission- 
 ers, city attorney, city clerk, and street commissioner are appointive 
 offices. The 1st ward includes all of said city lying east of Columbia 
 street, extended north to Chemung river, and south to the south bound- 
 ary line of said city. The 2d ward includes all of said city south of 
 said river, lying between Columbia and Wall streets. The 3d ward 
 contains all of said city south of the river between Wall and Wal- 
 nut streets, and the 4th ward contains all of said city south of the river, 
 and west of Walnut street. ' The 5th ward includes all of the city north 
 of the Chemung river. 
 
 On the south side of the river, where the streets forming the princi- 
 pal boundaries of the wards upon the east and west, do not reach to the 
 river or to the south side line of the city, then said wards are bounded 
 by imaginary lines made by the extension of said boundary streets north 
 or south as the case may require.

 Corning is two hundred and ninety-two miles westerly of New York 
 city, one hundred and thirty- four miles easterly of Buffalo and ninety- 
 three miles south and east of Rochester. 
 
 It is a commercial center for the counties of Steuben, Yates and 
 Schuyler in the state of New York, and for a considerable extent of 
 country in northern Pennsylvania. 
 
 When the village of Corning was incorporated in 1848 its population 
 was eight hundred and fifty. In 1880 this number had increased to be- 
 tween four and five thousand. In 1890 the census showed that the city 
 contained eight thousand five hundred and fifty inhabitants. Its pres- 
 ent population as indicated by school census, is about nine thousand 
 seven hundred. These figures prove that the growth of the place has 
 been regular and healthful, increasing steadily with advancing years. 
 The enhanced value of its real estate has kept pace with the numerical 
 increase of its people. The assessed value of its real property in 1870 
 was $913,860. In 1890 the aggregate assessment of the real estate in 
 the town and city of Corning exceeded $3,000,000. In 1891 the as- 
 sessed valuation of the city alone was $3,276,650. 
 
 The bonded debt of the city was created for railroads, bridge and sewer 
 purposes, and is in round numbers, about $100,000. Half of this sum 
 was expended for an extensive and necessary system of sewerage, which 
 is of great benefit to the health and comfort of the people. The Corn- 
 ing water works have no superior in this section of the state. They 
 
274 TOWN OF CORNING. 
 
 are now leased and operated by Messrs. Heermans and Lawrence, but in 
 1907 they will revert to the city and become the source of a handsome 
 yearly income to its treasury. Under the present management the 
 water works company furnish free, all the water needed by the city 
 for fire and other purposes. Upon the reversion of the system of water 
 works to the city, the city will possess a franchise of more value, than 
 its present indebtedness amounts to. The business portions of the 
 principal streets — Market and Pine — are well paved. 
 
 The Erie, C. C. & A., and S. G. & C. railroads have passenger and 
 freight depots in the city. The depot of the D. L. & \V. is a few rods 
 outside of the city's eastern boundary, at Gibson. Passengers are car- 
 ried to and from all regular trains upon this road, b}- omnibus free of 
 charge. 
 
 MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES . 
 
 The Fall Brook Coal Company, which operates and controls the C. C. 
 & A. and S. G. & C. railroads, has extensive shops and its general 
 offices at Corning. It gives employment to nearly eight hundred men. 
 The Corning Glass Works, Amory Houghton, Jr., president, and the 
 glass-cutting shops of D. T. Hawks & Co., and J. Hoare & Co. are 
 extensive establishments. Over eight hundred hands are employed in 
 this industry, and the "Works" is the largest plant of its kind in the 
 United States, if not in the world. The Hawkes' cutting shop lately 
 obtained the great distinction of receiving the "grand prize" for cut 
 and engraved glass at the Paris Exposition . 
 
 Among the other manufacturing industries in Corning worthy of es- 
 pecial mention are the Corning Stove Works, the furnace manufactory 
 of C. S. Hood & Co. and some others, more complete accounts of which 
 have been furnished us and will be found below. 
 
 Preston & Heerman s Foundry and Machine Shops, located on Cedar 
 street, between Market street and Erie avenue, were established in 1867, 
 by the present firm. Steam engines from ten to one hundred and fifty 
 horse-power are manufactured here, also boilers and mill machinery. 
 About thirty-five hands are employed. 
 
 Southern Tier Mills located in Corning at the corner of West Market 
 and Walnut streets were built by Stephen T. Hayt, the present pro- 
 prietor, in 1868. The main building is 55x75 feet, four stories high 
 with an engine house 30x40, all substantially built of brick. The power 
 is derived from a one hundred horse-power engine, and twelve men are 
 employed in the various departments of the mill. The finest grades of 
 wheat flour and meal are manufactured here, and a specially fine grade 
 of buckwheat flour is produced. The mill is equipped with the most 
 improved roller machinery. 
 
 The Corning Brick and Terra Colta Works. — The plant of this con- 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 275 
 
 cern covers a large area and is unequaled in the country in point of 
 ■equipment and facilities for extended manufacture, the bulk of the 
 machinery being specially made and used exclusively by them, thus 
 attaining a uniformity of work and grade unapproached by any other 
 similar concern. Their plant is located in close proximity to the rail- 
 roads, affording excellent shipping facilities and comprise permanent 
 kilns with a capacity of 7,000,000 brick per year. They employ eight}' 
 men at the Corning works and thirty-five at their Olean branch. Their 
 range of manufacture in the brick department is about to be extended 
 from pressed and molded brick of every design to a superior quality of 
 street-paving brick, for which they are now erecting a special plant. 
 Their designs in terra cotta work are infinite in number and color. 
 They employ competent draughtsmen and immediate attention is given 
 to the most intricate and difficult specifications. 
 
 The manager of the business is C. A. Rubright. They solicit cor- 
 respondence and give special attention to loading and shipping brick in 
 car loads. 
 
 Cooper and Ltctz's General Repair a?id Machine Shop was established in 
 
 1889. This firm does all kinds of jobbing, repairing, pattern making 
 and machine work, and manufactures small engines. The proprietors 
 are both practical workmen unsurpassed in their line. 
 
 The Corning Iron Works were established February 1 , 1890, by Dr. W.

 and from the earliest history there has been a public sentiment strongly 
 in favor of liberal support of these institutions. The first movement

 ber 2. 1839, atthe house of S. B. Denton, where a meeting was held for 
 that purpose. The improvement of the schools has ever kept pace with 
 
TOWN OF CORNING. 279 
 
 the growth of the place, rapid and phenomenal as that has been, and to- 
 day her school buildings are inferior to none. The Corning Academy 
 and Union School has an average attendance of one hundred pupils. 
 The city schools are under the very able management of Prof. A. G. 
 Slocum, who is principal of the academy and superintendent of city 
 schools.

 Addison, and vicinity. He immediately took measures for the perma- 
 nent establishment and effective support of a Catholic school. Intem- 
 perance was also declared to be an evil which was destaging the peace 
 and happiness of many families, and a temperance society was organ- 
 ized in January, 1861. Also at the same time a benevolent society was 
 formed. On June 10, 1866, the corner stone of the new St. Mary's 
 church was laid. The cost of this church, including the parochial res- 
 idence, was about $65,000. The Catholic population of Corning is

 Gibson. — The little village of Gibson, as before stated, lies on the 
 east side of the river, opposite the city of Corning. It sprang into 
 being after the construction of the Chemung canal feeder, and in the 
 boating days was a busy place. It was the home of boatmen and boat- 
 builders, and of men engaged in lumbering. John Gibson, who con- 
 ducted large shops in Alban}' for the manufacturing of tools, bought of 
 Samuel Parcell his farm of two hundred acres and built a steam saw 
 and planing-mill there. Hence the name of the settlement. It now 
 contains one church (Free Methodist), a school, two hotels, blacksmith 
 shop, the D., L. & W. R. R. depot, and about fifty dwellings. 
 
 DANSVILLE, one of the original towns of Steuben county, was 
 formed in March, 1796, and named in honor of Daniel P. Faulk- 
 ner, an influential citizen, familiarly known as "Captain Dan." 
 Parts of Cohocton and Howard were taken off in 18 12, a part ot Way- 
 land in 1 848, and a part of Fremont in 1854. A portion of the town, in- 
 cluding the village of Dansville, was annexed to Sparta, Livingston 
 county, in 1822, and a part of Cohocton was re-annexed April 26,1834. 
 Dansville is the northern town upon the west border of the count}-. It 
 is bounded north b} T a portion of Livingston county and Wayland, east 
 by Wayland and Fremont, south by Hornellsville,ar.d west by Allegany 
 and Livingston counties. The surface of the town is a rolling upland, 
 divided into ridges by the narrow valleys of the streams which flow both 
 north and south into the two systems of waters which find their outlet 
 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Chesapeake Bay. The soil is sandy 
 and gravelly loam in the east and north, and gravel underlaid by hard- 
 pan in the southwest. The population of this town in 1890 was 1,572. 
 The portion of the town containing the population at the time of its for- 
 mation in 1796, was subsequently taken off. In the remaining portion 
 their was no settlement until 1S04, at which time Isaac Sterling settled 
 half a mile east of Eurr.s Station, near the foot of the hill, on the old 
 Arkpcrt and Dansville read. Samuel Gilscn settled next north of Ster- 
 ling the same season . At that time the road ran along the foot of the 
 east hill, avoiding the shallow lake or marsh, which filled nearly the 
 -whole valley for a distance of three miles. It was at the outlet of this 
 body of water that the "Arkport" of the early navigators was estab- 
 lished. 
 
282 TOWN OF DANSVILLE. 
 
 In 1806, Isaac Sterling opened the first tavern in the town, which 
 was succeeded by others until it was said "there was a tavern at every 
 mile on the road, and the woods were alive with the noisy ox-teamsters 
 who hauled staves to Arkport to sell for $1.50 a thousand and drank 
 up the money on the way home. ' ' 
 
 A general settlement was made about 1816, in various parts of the 
 town. Among the first of these was Osgood Carlton, Sr., who came 
 from Maine, and settled on the state road, near Beachville, in 18 15.

 A tavern was opened in this settlement in 1S16, b)- Jesse Churchill in 
 a large double log house, near the Brayton place one-half mile east of

 of general resort — men meeting there Saturday to end the week in 
 general frolic — pitching quoits, wrestling, running horses, and liberally 
 patronizing " the Deacon " — as Mr. Churchill was called — until well 
 into the coming week. Tisdel Haskin and Timothy Atwood, surveyor 
 and school-teacher, settled on the Beachville farm, afterward occupied

 cattle were driven along the banks. The Indians furnished them with 
 corn. For eight years after Mr. Jones settled in this town, his house 
 was the only one between Arkport and Dansville. His wife was Sarah 
 Townsend.

 he came to this town in company with Joseph Phelps, and was one of 
 the pioneers of the town. He took up a farm southeast of Beachtown 
 — now owned by his son, L- K. Robinson — made a small clearing and 
 built a house on the hill, south of the present residence of his son. 
 This was built according to the architectural style of that day, of logs, 
 with a stick chimney, and a fire-pit at which, he used to say, the chil- 
 dren could ' ' sit upon the floor and let their feet hang off. ' ' After com- 
 pleting his house he started on foot for his former home in the Green 
 Mountains, where on March 12, 1814, he married L,ucinda Wood. Re- 
 turning, he brought with him a yoke of steers belonging to Charles 01- 
 ver, Sr., attached to a sled upon which rode his bride. When Mr. 
 Robinson started for Vermont he had five dollars. With this he made 
 the round trip and had one shilling left when he returned home. Soon 
 after he made a logging bee, and the remaining shilling was invested in 
 " O be joyful " with which to make glad the hearts of the merry yeo- 
 men. 
 
 Some seasons the crops were inadequate to supply the settlers with

 food necessary to sustain life. Mr. Robinson often had to go below 
 Dansville, a distance of fourteen or sixteen miles, to get labor in order 
 to buy provisions for his family. On one occasion, while return- 
 ing with a sack of rye flour on his back, with a companion he entered 
 a house where they found a cake of rye bread baking in the ashes, and 
 the mistress absent. Their hunger was so great that they divided the 
 cake between them, and left flour sufficient to make another loaf. Mr. 
 Robinson was twice married. His children by his first wife were Mar-

 We insert the following extracts from an admirable sketch of the 
 Sandy Hill district and the cholera plague, prepared by B. S. Stone, 
 and read by him before Dansville Grange, No. 178, P. of H., April 28, 
 1877. 
 
 ' ' I have taken some pains and trouble to gather a few facts and in- 
 cidents connected with the early settlement of the old Sandy Hill school 
 
TOWN OF DANSYILLE. 293 
 
 district. In grouping these incidents together I have chosen Mr. John 
 Brail, or as he was more commonly called "Gradpap," as the figure- 
 head or type of the early settlers. His struggles to maintain a foot-hold 
 on Sandy Hill were not more severe and trying than those of most of 
 the pioneers. Like Grandpap, the old school -house was also an insep- 
 arable part of the first settlement of the district and to-day deserves a 
 ■monument to commemorate its site and usefulness. Concerning the 
 contagion that swept over Sandy Hill in 1834, I find the traditions do 
 not agree on some minor points. Therefore if some of my statements 
 are at variance with othar reports, it is not because I have sought to 
 evade the truth, but rather to present the facts nearly as they occured. 
 With these remarks I invite your attention to our sketch of Grandpap 
 Brail and the old Plank School-house. 
 
 "Our memory pictures Grandpap as an old man leaning upon a heavy 
 spiral shaped cane, with his naturally tall and erect form slightly bent 
 with age. His head was very bald, but what locks he had were white 
 as the fleecy snow. His features were rather pleasing, but had the ap- 
 pearance of being long and thin, his heavy chin being caused by a freak 
 of nature that gave him a set of sound double teeth clear around his 
 mouth. His eyes were mild and blue, but restless. If not talking to 
 some one his face was in motion, turning a quid of tobacco of his own 
 growing. His wardrobe was usually made after some ancient style, but 
 always scrupulously clean. How he came by the name of Grandpap 
 or why both old and young should address him in this familiar style, is 
 more than I can tell. But all knew him as Grandpap. 
 
 "John Brail was born January 28th, 1771. In the yearof i8i3he 
 emigrated from Pennsylvania to the flats below the village of Dansville, 
 and worked a farm on shares for Jacob Opp, the land that is owned by 
 John Galbraith and the heirs of Henry Driesbach. In the spring of 
 181 7 he bought the lands now owned by Wm. Hall and known as the 
 Brail farm, and built a log house. In the fall, with his frau and seven 
 children, he moved to his new home on the plains of Sandy Hill and 
 commenced there the struggle of a pioneer's life, surrounded by a dense 
 forest of pitch pine, with a soil that when first cleared would hardly 
 produce white beans. In regard to the poverty of the soil of those yel- 
 low pine plains, it is said to have been caused by the Indians annually 
 ■burning the leaves for a long series of years. The surrounding hills 
 and valleys were their favorite hunting-grounds, those forests abounded 
 with the red deer and other game. The great Indian trail leading from 
 the Niagara to Philadelphia skirted along the north side of those plains. 
 The camp fires the Indians kindled along this great highway to cook 
 their venison kept the forest denuded of leaves, impoverishing the soil 
 for the white man, but making a better hunting ground for the Indian. 
 But to return to the pioneer and his new home. His log house was 
 built after the accepted architectural plan of a frontiersman. The chim- 
 ney, fire-pit and great hearth received the most scientific consideration. I 
 will describe this useful appendage to Grandpap's house. There was no 
 back to the fire-place except the logs at the end of the house. To keep 
 the fire under control a pit was dug a foot or more below the hearth, 
 four feet wide and eight or nine long. This was surrounded with large 
 flat stones and called the hearth. The chimney commenced just below 
 
294 TOWN OF DAXSVILLE. 
 
 the garret floor, on a pair of strong, crooked jaw sticks, reaching from 
 from the fifth or sixth log to the garret floor sleeper, directly over the 
 front hearth. The chimney was carried up to a proper height above 
 the roof by sticks placed across each other at right angles and thorough- 
 lh plastered ovef with mud. Great logs, two feet and over in diameter, 
 and six and eight feet long, were shoved into the house on rollers by 
 the united efforts of Grandpap and his whole family ; these were rolled 
 into the fire-pit and served as back logs for a huge fire, lasting some- 
 times six or eight days. Pitch pine knots furnished the only lights for 
 this family for a number of years. 
 
 ' ' The first clearing Grandpap made was on the north side of his farm 
 and east of the road where the school-house now stands. This was the 
 first clearing made on the plains of Sandy Hill. This was sowed to 
 rye in the fall of 1S17. ("This clearing extended far enough west to take 
 in the site of the old plank school -house). The next year, iSrS, grain 
 was very scarce. As soon as this rye would possibly do Grandpap cut 
 six shocks and shelled it out by hand. It was too green to grind, and 
 the necessity of the family was urgent. They put it into an old-fash- 
 ioned Dutch oven and dried it for two days, then took it to Opp's mill 
 to have it ground: but here was an unlooked for difficulty. They 
 poured the rye in the hopper, it being only half ripe and stick}-, and 
 the stone clogged and stopped. This was a poser for the old pioneer. 
 He took the situation in at a glance. His family were at home in want 
 of bread, and this was a 'commodity that wasn't to be had even for 
 money. With a heavy heart he went in search of his old friend. Jacob 
 Opp. After telling him his situation Mr. Opp came to his rescue with, 
 advice worth}- of a back- woodsman. He told Grandpap he would take 
 up the stone and gather up his grist, and he must take it home and have 
 it boiled like rice and eat it with milk. But here was another difficulty. 
 Cows were scarce and expensive, but money would buy a cow if it 
 would not bread. He went and gave Jonathan Barnhart $40 for a large 
 new milch cow and drove her home. Boiled rye and milk was the sta- 
 ple article of food for the winter of '18 and '19. The next winter this 
 old cow that had served them so well came to an untimely end while 
 foraging through the cracks of a log barn they had built. She got her 
 head fast and strangled, adding another misfortune to this industrious 
 family. The next crop Grandpap gathered was from a field he had 
 cleared opposite the old burying ground. This was wheat, but on ac- 
 count of the poverty of the soil it only grew from eight inches to two- 
 feet in height. This Wheat they pulled, as was the custom in gathering 
 flax. Not a good head was lost in gathering this crop of wheat. They 
 carried economy to the extreme, to be sure of saving every kernel of 
 wheat. They took a new bed-quilt, spread it on the ground and 
 threshed the wheat on it, spoiling the quilt, which proved to be worth 
 more than the wheat. 
 
 " In 1 81 8 Grandpap found himself surrounded by a few neighbors 
 and the necessity of a school became apparent. Late in the month of 
 December we find him notifying the scattered settlers to attend a meet- 
 ing, to take into consideration the expediency of building a school 
 house. In response to this notice we find the record of the first school 
 meeting of Sandy Hill. The following is a correct copy : 'At a school

 meeting held at the house of Rufus Stone, in the school district No. 8, 
 in the town of Dansville, in the county of Steuben, in the state of New 
 York, pursuant to notice given by John Brail, by order of Elisha W. 
 Brockway, one of the commissioners of common schools in and for the 
 town of Dansville, on the 25th of December, 18 18, William S. Lemen 
 was chosen moderator, Rufus Stone was chosen clerk for said district, 
 Rufus Stone, Chauncey Day and William S. Lemen trustees, David 
 Stone district collector. 
 
 " Resolved, that the forks or corners of the highway at or near the

 " Resolved, that those persons that do not deliver their part of the 
 lumber by the Sth day of January next at the site of the school-house, 
 that their portion of the lumber shall be assigned over to some other 
 person by the trustees, and that the money be collected of said delin-

 Mr. Dorr had a wool-carding, cloth-dressing and fulling mill in suc- 
 cessful operation, near his stone house, about 1821 or 1822 ; he had to 
 take considerable grain for his work. He drew wheat to Rochester on 
 wagons and sold it for 40 cents per bushel. As late as 1824 they hired 
 Mr. Brockway to teach for Si 8 per month and take his pay in lumber 
 at the different mills in the district at S4 for barn, §6 for house and $8 
 for clear stuff, all to be good white pine. 
 
 "Rufus Stone came here about three months after Mr. Lemen, arriv- 
 ing on the 3d of June, 1816, with his family. He lived the first year 
 in the old Shull house that stood about where Mr. Waggoner's and 
 Woodruff's houses now stand. He built a saw-mill on Stone's falls the 
 same year and cut the great notch in the rocks to set the water wheel in . 
 Quite a portion of the dam that he built that year is still in use in the 
 dam for the wagon shop. He came here from thetown of Pompey, On- 
 ondaga county, this state, at the time of the first school meeting at his 
 house in 181 8 or '19. He lived in a plank house that must have cov- 
 ered the northeast corner of the grange lot. The old apple trees that 
 stand on this lot were planted by Mrs. Stone. She grew them from 
 the seeds of large sweet apples that she brought from Berkshire county, 
 Mass., her native home. What was a little remarkable, none of her 
 trees produced sweet apples. 
 
 "But go with me to the old burying ground, a few rods .to the west. 
 
296 TOWN OF DANSVIIXE. 
 
 This enclosure contains the remains of most of the early settlers of Sandy 
 Hill, not one of whom remains to tell the story of the old plank school 
 house among the pines. Here, upon a marble slab, you can read this 
 inscription : 'John Brail, died Dec. 2d, i860, in the 90th year of his 
 age.' 
 
 "The old patriarch is gone; his old pioneer associates are gone: the 
 3-ellow pines are gone; the old plank school-house is gone. I wish that 
 this could be the closing paragraph of my sketch of Grandpap Brail and 
 the old plank school -house. But this quiet little cemetery tells a tale 
 that I must not pass by. Inscribed upon many head stones you may 
 read these terrible words, "Died of Cholera." In but few rural cem- 
 eteries has this scourge of the human family, this destroyer from Cen- 
 tral Asia written its name with an icy finger upon so man}' tablets as 
 here. Forty-three years ago, and who shall tell the tale of the plague 
 of Sand}' Hill? We shall ask in vain of those that nursed the sick and 
 buried the dead; they, too, have passed away. In 1834 the tide of 
 German immigration that settled the nothern portion ef Steuben county 
 was at his height. Grandpap Brail being a Pennsylvania Dutchman, 
 his house was thronged by the newly arrived immigrants. Being famil- 
 iar with the surrounding country he acted as a guide and interpreter for 
 a great many of the Germans in the purchase and location of their 
 lands. Having vacated the old log house for more comfortable quarters 
 in a snug farm cottage he had recently built three or four rods to the 
 north, where the residence of Mr. Hall now stands. Winter was com- 
 ing and some of the Germans solicited the use of this vacant house for 
 their families. Grandpap, ever generous to a fault, granted their re- 
 quest, and even yielded to their importunities for him to go to Buffalo 
 after their families and goods. Sometime in the first or second week 
 in August he procured the services of one of his neighbors and with 
 teams they started for Buffalo, 80 miles distant, after the families of Mr. 
 Bolinger, Mr. Rider, Mr. Kerch and Mr. Schu. Those people had 
 come to Buffalo from New York city by the Erie canal. On this canal 
 voyage it is said one of the number died with cholera. They buried the 
 body, but the clothing was packed away in one of their iron-bound 
 chests to be cleansed at some future time. These families Grandpap 
 moved into his old log house. They numbered 16 or iS persons. 
 Among their trumpery was the fatal chest containing the germs of a 
 plague that was to depopulate to a certain extent this thriving and 
 happy settlement and spread terror and consternation in the surround- 
 ing towns. Little did Grandpap think, that in performing this act of 
 almost charity he had brought a caged monster to be let loose to deso- 
 late his own home and the homes of his friends; that a shadow was to 
 gather over his house and theirs, that all the sunshine of coming days 
 would never dispel. 
 
 " Soon after those immigrants were crowded into the old log house, 
 Mrs. Brail helped them wash and cleanse some of their clothing, little 
 thinking that she was exposing herself to the cholera in its most malig- 
 nant form. This was on Tuesday. In the evening she was taken sick. 
 Doctor Endress was sent for and even- assistance rendered that could be 
 thought of. He called it a severe case of the cholera morbus. Mr. 
 Brail was away as usual, buying land for the Germans. Wednesday 
 
TOWN OF DANSVILLE. 297 
 
 morning a quick messenger was sent to hunt him up and tell him that 
 his wife, Margaret, was ver}- sick and in danger. He was found in the 
 woods not far from Perkinsville, five or six miles from home. Hearing 
 the alarm, he mounted the messenger's horse and took the nearest route 
 home, in places following old log roads and by-paths he was familiar 
 with, not heeding the crashing of brush nor the foaming of his steed ; 
 arriving home a little before twelve o'clock at noon, Justin time to take 
 his wife by the hand, and in their German language big each other a 
 last farewell. The old clock in the corner struck the hour of twelve 
 and the cholera claimed its first victim on Sandy Hill. This was the 
 24th of August, 1834 — a date never to be forgotten by the descendants 
 of the pioneers. Doctors Cook and Reynale had been called. With 
 great reluctance they admitted that it might be a contagious disease. 
 Why these doctors should be so slow to warn this community of the 
 imminent danger that surrounded them was never explained to the satis- 
 faction of the friends of those who suffered. But there were those who 
 saw the danger and were not afraid to proclaim their conviction that it 
 was the Asiatic cholera in its worst form. Had! it not been for the timely 
 warning, not from the M. D's., but from Mr. Samuel G. Dorr and the 
 lady that was teaching school in the old plank school-house, had it not 
 been for the panic caused by those persons in telling what they believed 
 to be true, the cholera would not have been confined to Sandy Hill. 
 Mrs. Brail being one of the first settlers, she was known far and near. 
 A great concourse of people would have assembled at the funeral . Many 
 did come from a distance, but heard the alarm in time to avert the 
 danger. The family made preparations for a large funeral, and were 
 disappointed in its failure. Had the whole community been exposed to 
 this disease, who can tell where it would have stopped ? Mrs. Brail was 
 the only person that died with the cholera that was laid out dressed, and 
 received the ordinary attention before burial. Taken sick Tuesday 
 evening, died Wednesday noon, buried Thursday afternoon. A few 
 friends got together and walked with Grandpap to the cemetery to bury 
 his companion of forty years. 
 
 ' ' The old man felt that he was proscribed and deserted in this hour 
 of his greatest trial. He could not see the mighty vortex with its circle 
 widening and ready to engulf more of his own family, friends and 
 neighbors in its unpitying embrace. After Mrs. Brail died the house- 
 hold affairs devolved upon her two daughters — Sarah (now Mrs. A. 
 Hall of Dansville) and Matilda. When Saturday night came these 
 poor girls sought their couch crushed in spirit, and weary in body with 
 overwork and anxiety, weeping over the irreparable loss of a mother. 
 About two o'clock they were both taken with all the symptoms of ap- 
 proaching dissolution. Medical aid was summoned as quickly as possi- 
 ble. One was taken and the other left. At eight o'clock Sunday 
 morning Matilda died, six hours after she felt the first symptoms of this 
 terrible disease. 
 
 " This was on the 28th, less than four days after her mother died. 
 Matilda's death created a new panic. There was no mistaking the dis- 
 ease they had to deal with. Drs. Endress, Cook, Patchin, Reynale and 
 two or three other doctors whose names are not familiar did all in their 
 power to stay the contagion. A number of the neighbors took their

 lives in their hands, as it were, and went forth to care for the sick, bury 
 the dead and perform any service that would ameliorate the condition 
 of the suffering. Among those noble volunteers I might mention Sam- 
 uel Lemen, Zara Blake (father of our present Dr. Z. H. BlakeJ, Samuel 
 G. Dorr, Michael Driesbach, Thomas Stutson, Rufus Stone, Joseph 
 Acomb, Andrew Brail, John Brail, Jr., and others. This forlorn hope 
 was led bj T the philanthropist, Sam Lemen, a name that Sandy Hill can 
 well be proud of, a man that was always ready to respond to the faint- 
 est cry of distress. Through all the dark days of the cholera Sam 
 Lemen was the one always present, helping, sympathizing, encourag- 
 ing, doing all that man could do for the suffering. Xight and day he 
 was passing from house to house watching the developments of the 
 plague. Nothing escaped his vigilant eye. Of this band of Samari- 
 tans but two or three went through the ordeal that tried their very souls 
 without contracting disease that followed them to their graves. Mr. 
 Acomb died. Mr. Blake was made an invalid for life. Mr. Dorr nev- 
 er completely recovered from its effects. Mr. Stone and Robert Brail 
 were very sick, but recovered in time. 
 
 " Let us pause a moment and look at the condition of Grandpap, his 
 family and the old plank school -house at 9 or 10 o'clock that Sunday 
 morning of August the 28th. Grandpap, with a wild and haggard coun- 
 tenance, was pacing the long piazza in the front of his house. The 
 terrible agony of his soul had dried up the fountain of his tears. In the 
 little northwest bedroom his daughter Matilda, the old man's darling, 
 lay beautiful but lifeless. In the front room another daughter, Sarah, 
 appeared to be in a hopeless condition. Lying upon the floor of his 
 new barn, a few rods south of the house, was his son George, struck 
 with death. And the old school-house — It was turned into an undertak- 
 er's shop, and men were driving the last nails into a rough box they 
 called a coffin, in which to bury his dead daughter. To not alarm the 
 sick this box was taken into the house through the bedroom window, 
 the corpse rolled up in some of the bed clothing and placed in it, and it 
 was then passed out again by Lemen and the band of Samaritans. 
 They carried her to the cemetery and put her by the side of her mother. 
 After the burial of Matilda they missed George, and found him, as I 
 have stated, in the new barn lying on the floor, chilled through and 
 hardly able to move. They put him on a blanket and carried him to 
 the house. This man's suffering was said to be terrible — so great that 
 at times he would beg of the men that were with him to end his suffer- 
 ing with an axe. Before morning this strong man had to yield to the 
 grim monster, Death. They rolled him up in his bedding, like his sis- 
 ter, passed him out of the window and buried him by the side of his 
 mother and sister. Within twelve days nearly two-thirds of the emi- 
 grants were carried away to the old burying ground by Lemen and the 
 little band of Samaritans. Mrs. Kerch and six of her children died in 
 the log house. 
 
 " Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon those Samaritans for their 
 ceaseless vigilance and untiring devotion to the wants of the sick and 
 helpless. Let us follow them through that night of the 3d of Septem- 
 ber which was only a repetition of many others. They made it a rule to 
 bury the dead as soon as possible. 
 
TOWN OF DANSVILLE. 299 
 
 " But coffins had to be made, graves had to be dug, the sick and well 
 looked after. The coffins were made in the evening at Mr. Stone's 
 house. Here let me say not a coffin was furnished or made outside 01 
 the guard that surrounded this contagion. Not a clergyman of any 
 denomination exposed his sacred head to minister to the spiritual wants 
 of those dying people. What a contrast between the feelings of men 
 witnessing the suffering of others and those that are at a distance and 
 out of danger. 
 
 "Brand}- and loaf sugar were largely used as a preventative during 
 the first symptoms of the cholera. Mr. Lemen claimed that it saved his 
 own life as well as the lives of others. To show the unselfishness and 
 care he had for the welfare of others, I will relate an incident as told by 
 himself. One evening after caring for the sick and burying some dead, 
 he felt alarmed about himself and thought he would go home and rest; 
 but before reaching home he felt all the symptoms of the dreadful dis- 
 ease. To not expose his family, he went into the barn. He closed the 
 door and decided to meet his fate alone. He supposed he had seen the 
 sun sink behind the horizon for the last time and like George Brail had 
 chosen to be alone in a barn. He cramped and suffered terribly nearly 
 all night, but he did not propose to die without a struggle for life. 
 Having a pocket full of loaf sugar and the inevitable bottle of brandy, 
 he ate the one and drank the other all night. In the morning his family 
 were surprised to see him coming from the barn pale as death and very 
 weak. The}' supposed he was among the sick, but he had conquered 
 the disease and was ready in a short time to resume his place among the 
 Samaritans. This man seemed to escape death almost miraculously a 
 number of times. Not many years ago, when his work of love was done 
 and he had seen all but one of his own family cross the dark river of 
 death, one afternoon he walked home from one of his neighbors, placed 
 his staff in the corner, lay down on a lounge to rest and went quietly to 
 sleep, never to awaken in this world. Thns ended the life of this gen- 
 erous hearted man. 
 
 ' ' But I must bring this story of the terrible scenes that surrounded 
 Grandpap Brail and the old plank school-house to a close. Within 
 this battle of four weeks Grandpap had seen eighteen of his famuy and 
 friends carried b}' the old school-house to the burying ground. Need 
 we wonder that his form was bent, and his head was as white as snow ? 
 To complete this picture of destruction his old log house and every- 
 thing that was contaminated with the cholera were committed to the 
 flames. 
 
 ' 'Thus ended the terrors of Sandy Hill. ' ' 
 
 In 1819, John Faulkner, a soldier of 1812, and William Perine, fa- 
 ther of H. W. Perine, of Bath, moved on to the maple-lands, a mile 
 south of the sand-lands. 
 
 The original settlers in Sandy Hill and vicinity have given place to 
 an industrious German population from Prussia, on the Rhine, who 
 have made of it the most valuable portion of the town. 
 
 Organization. — The first town-meeting of this town then including 
 the present village of North Dansville, in Livingston county, was held 
 
300 TOWN OF DANSVILLE. 
 
 in the village of Dansville, at the house of Samuel Faulkner, April 4, 
 x 797- The oldest house now standing and still occupied in this town 
 is that of George Dimond, near Stone's Falls. It was built by Zara 
 Blake, in 18 14. 
 
 Rogersville, (South Dansville P. O.), is located near the centre of 
 the town of Dansville, and contains the Rogersville Union Seminary 
 and a common school, two churches, Methodist Episcopal and Univer- 
 salists, — the latter but little used, — three general stores, a grist-mill, 
 saw-mill, hotel, meat-market, shoe-shop, wagon-shop, two blacksmith 
 shops and about forty dwellings. The mail is received daily by stage 
 from Dansville, Livingston count}-. 
 
 Burns P. O. is situated near the southwest corner of the town of 
 Dansville on the Alleghany county line. It is a station of the Buffalo 
 division of the Erie, and Lackawanna & Southern railroads, and contains 
 one church, a school, a store, two blacksmith shops and about twenty - 
 five dwellings . 
 
 Manufactures. 
 
 F. Lander's wagon and general repair shop is located on Main street 
 in the village of Rogersville. The business was established by A. \V. 
 Green who was succeeded by Oscar Wood, who in turn was succeeded 
 by the firm of Wood & Lander, and since 1SS2 the business has been 
 conducted by the present proprietor. Wagons, sleighs, land-rollers are 
 manufactured and general repair work done here. 
 
 Schools. 
 
 The first school was opened in the western part of the town in 1 8 1 1 , 
 and was taught by James Jones. This school was not far from Doty's 
 Corners. As before stated, William C. Rogers established a select school 
 in 1848. The present fine building was completed in 1S52, by subscip- 
 tions and contributions, and June 28, 1853, the Rogersville Union Sem- 
 inary was chartered by the Regents of the State University. F.A.Owen 
 is the present principal, under whose able management the school has 
 recovered much of its former importance as an educational institution, 
 which for a time it had lost, through the establishment of advanced 
 schools in larger places. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 The first Methodist meetings were held on Oak Hill — in the house of 
 George Butler, half a mile north of the present church — in the spring 
 of 181 7. A class was formed immediately after. The next }'ear meet- 
 ings were held at the house of Thomas Buck. The walls of the first 
 house of worship in the town, built of logs, were rolled up in 18 19, and 
 occupied immediately. 
 
 Early services were held in the school-house at Beachville, John 
 Root being an early worker in the church at that place. The church 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 30 1 
 
 was built at Rogersville and dedicated July 19, 1841. In 1862, a new 
 church was built on Oak Hill, three-fourths of a mile west of the old 
 log church. 
 
 The first Baptist meetings held in the town were conducted by Rev. 
 Mr. Ford of Howard, as early as 18 19, at Beachville in a log school - 
 house, on Thomas Brayton's land. Mr. Brayton who was a deacon of 
 the church and an eloquent speaker, also held meetings when there was 
 no pastor, and officiated at funerals. The church was erected not far 
 from 1825. 
 
 The Universalist society was organized in Rogersville through the 
 efforts of Rev. Asa Upson, soon after the opening of the Seminary in 
 1848, and a church was built in the village in 1852 at a cost of $2,800. 
 
 Physicians. — The pioneer physician of the town was a Dr. Potter, of 
 whom we have been unable to gather any information. Succeeding 
 him was Dr. Thomas Bowen, who was born in Rhode Island, and came 
 here from Hartford, Washington county, in 18 18. He settled first 
 above Beachville, and in 1825 moved to the place now owned by his 
 son, Thomas W. Bowen, and practiced here until his death on Decem- 
 ber 18, 1S46. His wife was Patience Brayton. Dr. Burton and Dr. E. 
 M. Layman were practitioners here. 
 
 Dr. Charles S. Ackley was born in DeRu3 7 ter, Madison coun- 
 ty, March 12, 182 1. When a boy of ten years his parents moved to 
 Angelica, Allegany county, where he was educated. He studied med- 
 icine with Dr. CD. Robinson, attended the Medical College of the Uni- 
 versity of New York, and graduated from the Medical College of Cleve- 
 land, O. He practiced for a time with Dr. Robinson, at Burns, and 
 on April 4, 1843, came to this town, where he has since practiced. Dr. 
 Ackley has been twice married. 
 
 Dr. Cassius M. Ackley, son of the above, was born in this town June 
 4, 1 G45. He received his education in the schools of the town, and at 
 Genesee College, Lima. He studied medicine with his father and en- 
 tered the University of Buffalo, from which institution he graduated in 
 February, 1868. He has since practiced in this town. 
 
 ERWIN township lies in the southeast part of the county, west of 
 Corning, and was formerly township No. 2, of the Second Range, 
 of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase. It was formed from the 
 township of Painted Post, January 27, 1826. Lindley was taken off in 
 1837, and a part of Corning was annexed in 1856. Its surface is about 
 equally divided between high, rolling upland, and the low valleys of 
 the streams. The summits of the hills are from four hundred to six 
 hundred feet above the valleys of the streams. The Tioga and Canis- 
 
302 TOWN OF ERWIX. 
 
 teo rivers unite near the southeast part of the town , and the Tioga and 
 Conhocton near the eastern boundary of the town north of the center, 
 forming the Chemung river. The valleys of these streams are from one 
 to two miles wide, and are among the richest and most productive lands 
 of the county. The soil upon the hills is a shaly and clayey loam, 
 and in the valley it is a fine fertile alluvium. 
 
 The population in 1890 was 1,883. 
 
 Early Settlement. — Says the late Charles H. Envin: 
 
 " In the very earl) 7 summer of 1786, Samuel Harris made the first 
 permanent settlement upon the lands west of the pre-emption line, in 
 the state of New York.* 
 
 " At this date, Mr. Harris, from Northumberland, Pa., grounded his 
 Durham boat upon the north shore of the Conhocton river, in the rear 
 of the present drug store of Orcutt & Loomis, in the village of Painted 
 Post, and immediately commenced the erection of the first habitation 
 for civilized man in Western New York, upon the site of the above 
 mentioned drugstore." 
 
 The cabin of Harris was subsequently burned, as we learn from the 
 following extract from Judge McMasters' History: 
 
 "On the morning of Christmas da)-, in the year 1787, a backwoods- 
 man and an Indian issued from the door of a log cabin which stood half 
 buried in snow on a point of land lying between the Cowanesque creek 
 and the Tioga river, at the junction of those streams, and set forth on 
 the ice of the river for a journey to the settlements below. They were 
 clad according to the rude fashions of the frontiers of the forest, in gar- 
 ments partly obtained by barter from outpost traders, and partly sup- 
 plied by robbery from the beasts of the forest. Tomahawks and knives 
 were stuck in their belts, snow-shoes were bound to their feet, and knap- 
 sacks of provisions were strapped to their backs. 
 
 ' ' The snow lay upon the ground four full feet in depth . It was brought 
 from the north in one of those mighty storms which in former days often 
 swept down from Canadaian regions and poured the treasures of the 
 snowy zone upon our colonial forests. * * * 
 
 " The pioneer and his savage comrade pursued their journey on the 
 ice . The Tioga was then a wild and free river . From its source . far up on 
 the ' Magnolia Hills,' of the old provincial maps, clown to its union 
 with the equally wild and free Conhocton, no device of civilized man 
 fretted its noble torrent. A single habitation of human beings stood 
 upon its banks, the log cabin at the mouth of the Cowanesque. But 
 it bore now upon its frozen surface the fore-runner of an unresting race 
 of lumbermen and farmers, who in a few years invaded its peaceful soli- 
 tudes, dammed its wild flood, and hewed down the lordly forest through 
 which it flowed. The travelers kept on its course be3'ond the mouth of 
 the Canisteo to the Painted Post. Here they expected to find the cabin 
 of one Harris, a trader, where they might have lodgings for the night, 
 
 * It is possible that before the advent of Harris, some straggling adventurer may 
 have wandered hither, built him a lodge, perhaps planted corn on the open flats, 
 and afterward strayed to parts unknown, leaving no trace of his existence. 
 
TOWN OF ERWIX. 303 
 
 and, if necessary for the comfort of the savage breast, a draught from 
 the ' cup that cheers (and also) inebriates.' On the arrival at the head 
 of the Chemung, however, they found that the cabin had been des- 
 troyed by fire. The trader had either been murdered by the Indians, or 
 devoured by wild beasts, or else he had left the country, and Steuben 
 county was in consequence depopulated. 
 
 " Disappointed in their hope, the travelers continued their journey 
 on the ice as far as Big Flats. Here night overtook them. They 
 kindled a fire on the banks of the river, and laid them down to sleep. 
 The air was intensely cold. It was one of those clear, still, bitter cold 
 nights, when the moon seems an iceberg and the stars are bright and 
 sharp like hatchets. The savage rolled himself up in his blanket, lay 
 with his back to the fire, and did not so much as stir till the morning; 
 but his companion, though framed of that stout stuff out of which back- 
 woodsmen are built, could not sleep for the intensity of the cold. At 
 midnight a pack of wolves chased a deer from the woods to the river, 
 seized the wretched animal on the ice, tore it to pieces and devoured 
 it within ten rods of the encampment. Early in the morning the 
 travelers arose and went their way to the settlements below, the first of 
 which was Newtown. 
 
 ' ' Such is one of the early glimpses of our county granted us. Jour- 
 neys are performed in rather a different manner now. The incidents of 
 the trip sound oddly enough to the ear of the modern traveler — the ex- 
 cursion on snow shoes — the possible destruction of the village of Painted 
 Post by the Indians — the encampment and night fire under the trees by 
 the river bank on a stinging Christmas night, while frost-bitten wolves 
 regaled the ears of the travelers with dismal howling. The backwoods- 
 man was Samuel Baker, a New Englander, afterwards well known to 
 our citizens as Judge Baker, of Pleasant Valley." 
 
 Harris had pushed up the Chemung with a cargo of goods to open a 
 traffic with the hunting parties of the Six Nations which resorted at 
 certain seasons to the northwestern branches of the Susquehanna. 
 When Judge Baker found the cabin burned and the trader missing, he 
 inferred that the latter had perhaps been killed by his customers. Har- 
 ris, however, had met with no calamity. On the contrary, his inter- 
 course with the Indians was of a very friendly and confidential charac- 
 ter. The savages, we ar^ told, manifested much zeal in promoting the 
 establishment of a trading-post at the head of the Chemung, and assist- 
 ed in carrying the logs out of which the cabin was built, on their shoul- 
 ders to the proposed site. 
 
 Harris was only temporarily absent at the time of Judge Baker's 
 visit. He afterward returned to Painted Post with his son, and lived 
 there a few years, when he again moved to Pennsylvania.* Harris was 
 a trader and did not cultivate the soil. He was the son of old John 
 
 *"Mr.Harris,late in the autumn of the same year — 1789 — removed to Harris' Fer- 
 rv, near the foot of Cayuga Lake, where his son John had previously purchased, es- 
 tablished a ferrv and erected the first store and hotel in the place."— Chas. H. Er-

 Harris, the Indian trader, and founder of Harrisburgh; now the capitol 
 of Pennsylvania. He was a coroner of Northumberland count}' during 
 the revolution, in which he took an active part. 
 
 In the year 1789 Augustus Porter was employed by Phelps & Gor- 
 ham , to run out the southeast part of their purchase into townships six 
 miles square. He states that he ' ' made his headquarters with old Mr. 
 Harris, and the only white men in the whole region were, beside Harris 
 and his son William, George Goodue, just below, and Eli Mead, at the 
 mouth of the creek which bears his name. ' ' Mead was from Wyoming, 
 and Goodhue from Massachusetts.* 
 
 Frederick Calkins had been with them, but had then gone back to 
 his home in Vermont to marry his wife, with whom he returned to the 
 neighborhood in January, 1790. Mrs. Calkins was the first white wo- 
 man to make her home in the valley. 
 
 After the formation of Ontario county from Montgomery county by 
 act of legislature, January 27, 1789, it was provided by the same act 
 that the justices of the sessions should divide the county into two or 
 more districts for voting and municipal purposes. In 1790 or 179 1, the 
 district of " The Painted Post" was formed, embracing all the territory 
 comprised in the county of Steuben as subsequently organized. 
 
 About the middle of July, 1789, while the surveyors above mentioned 
 were yet at work in township No. 2, of the Second Range, Col. Arthur 
 Erwin from Bucks county, Pa., rode up to the door of Samuel Harris 
 and craved an hour's rest and food for his drove of cattle and dinner for 
 himself and his herdsmen. 
 
 Colonel Erwin was e?i-route with his drove, for the new market of 
 Canandaigua, and while the drovers, Indian guides and cattle were rest- 
 ing, he procured another Indian guide, rode out upon the hillside north 
 of Harris' house, where he obtained a good view of the unrivaled val- 
 leys of the Chemung, Tioga and Conhocton. Returning, he started 
 drovers and cattle on the trail for Canandaigua. After dining himself, 
 he again took his horse and guide, forded the Conhocton river, and fol- 
 lowing the Indian trail south through the valley of the Tioga, forded the 
 Canisteo again, rode up the mountain on the south bank of the river and 
 obtained another view of the aforesaid valleys and also a view of the val- 
 ley of the Canisteo. He then followed his drove. Overtaking them 
 he gave the drovers orders to hasten their arrival an Canandaigua, and 
 procuring another Indian guide hurried on in advance. He proceeded 
 to the land office, and made inquiry if Township No, 2, of the Second 
 Range wasin the market, and if so, the price. The answer was, " It is 
 for sale, and the price is fourteen hundred pounds in New York cur- 
 rency. ' ' Colonel Erwin gave in payment for this township his drove of 
 cattle at the land-owners' appraisal and paid the balance in money.

 Within twenty-four hours after Colonel Envin received his deed, Col. 
 Eleazer Lindsley arrived and made an offer for the same township. He, 
 however, subsequently purchased the town of Lindley. 
 
 The Painted Post. — There are various theories set forth regarding the 
 origin of the stained or " Painted Post, " found here by the pioneers, 
 and which was described by others previous to the settlement of this val- 
 ley. This post has been pepetuated by the people of this section who, 
 whenever it has succumbed to the ravages of time have replaced it with 
 a new one. 
 
 We give below an oration delivered by T. F. Minier, at the dedica- 
 tion of a new post, August 21, 1S80 : 
 
 ' ' This valley prior to the invasion by Sullivan , history sheds but a dim 
 light upon, and all vestiges of the race that once occupied it have 3'ielded 
 to the hand of time, and through all the changes produced by civiliza- 
 tion the eternal march of time goes on. In 1750 the Moravians in their 
 religious zeal for the spiritual welfare of the aborigines, had pene- 
 trated the Lehigh, Wyoming and Susquehanna valleys, and in 1767, 
 Zeisberger, the celebrated Moravian missionary extended his mission to 
 this locality. I give you extracts from the original journal, now in 
 the archives of the Bethlehem Seminary, the date October 3, 1767. 
 'Zeisberger and party passed through a prairie of about three miles, with 
 tall grass, which was very wet. At noon, they came to Assinisink, 
 where Jacobus used to live, the Muncy chief who led the attack on 
 Gundenhutten , on the Mahoney. In 1755, this town was afterwards, 
 that is, after the attack on Gundenhutten ' destroyed by a Mohawk war 
 party.' 
 
 "Jacobus was taken prisoner in the Pontiac war, and died while a 
 prisoner. We learn by this that this place, called Assinisink, was oc- 
 cupied by a powerful tribe of Indians in 1755. At Assinisink, or in the 
 neighborhood, ' Zeisberger found regular pyramids of stone which ap- 
 peared to have been made with human hands . The pyramids were of 
 various sizes, and the largest one about three stories high, rising to a 
 point, which was covered with a fiat stone. The outsides of the stones 
 were soft, the inside hard and sound. The Indians in the neighbor- 
 hood, of whom Zeisberger inquired, could give no information with re- 
 gard to these structures. They were near the junction of the Tioga.' 
 The prairie referred to in the journal is now Big Flats. The pyramids 
 were at the Chimney Narrows, and they exist this day. From earliest 
 and most authentic accounts this valley seems to have been a thorough- 
 fare for the movements of the red men from the time they first occupied 
 it until the day the last lonelndian faded away on the western horizon . 
 At the time of Sullivan's expedition this valley was occupied by por- 
 tions of the Senecas, Cayugas and Tuscaroras, and Canadasaga, their 
 chief, from the Council House, at Catherinetown, issued his edicts with 
 all the dignity surrounding an autocrat. Here was the door of their 
 Long House wide open, exposing to view the matchless valleys of the 
 Tioga and Susquehanna. It is pleasant to refer to the history of our 
 particular section. The early inhabitants have crossed the river of 
 time ; much has been omitted in the record of events. Let us open the 
 
306 TOWN OF ERWIN. 
 
 door of tradition and notice some of the events that distinguish this 
 locality. 
 
 "1788. — The valley at this early date was the Indian trail from 
 Painted Post to Tioga Point, over which the braves passed to get their 
 fire water. In 1789 means were taken to draw the Indians into a coun- 
 cil, and the final decision was to hold it at Painted Post, June 17, 1791 , 
 but that determination seems to have been changed, for it took place at 
 Newtown, and it was here that Red Jacket displayed those transcend- 
 ent powers for which he became so distinguished. The treaty was held 
 at Newtown, though called in history the treaty of Painted Post, and it 
 may properly be said that this place narrowly escaped a historical great- 
 ness. 
 
 ' ' The history of the ancient landmark found on the banks of the 
 Ga-ha-toor Conhocton, Te-can-ncs-to, or 'the post bythe river,' is some- 
 what indefinite or conflicting. Stone, in referring to it, says: 'The 
 Painted Post was a noted landmark in the earty settlement of western New 
 York, and in the history of Indian affairs long before. It was literally 
 a post of oak timber planted in the ground upon the bank of the Con- 
 hocton creek, within the boundary of New York, but not far from the 
 Penns\'lvania line; it was painted in the Indian manner, and tradition 
 avers that it was a monument of great antiquity, erected to commem- 
 orate the death of some celebrated war chief, whose name has been lost 
 in the lapse of j-ears.' The Indians, it is also related, were in the prac- 
 tice, from generation to generation, of erecting new ones on the decay 
 of the old. 
 
 " Another account is, that the different tribes of Indians, living in 
 this part of the country, were accustomed to assemble here and hold 
 their councils and make their treaties. They erected a large post and 
 painted it red, that it might be more easily known at what place to as- 
 semble, but subsequent history and a thorough investigation has re- 
 moved all doubts surrounding it, and in Judge McMasters' history of 
 Steuben count}' appears a recital of facts which have been accepted as 
 authentic . 
 
 "In the summer of 1779, a party of Tories and Indians, under 
 command of a loyalist named McDonald, returned from an excursion 
 into the Susquehanna settlements, bringing with them many of their 
 wounded. At the confluence of the Tioga and Conhocton rivers, Cap- 
 tain Montour, son of the famous Queen Catherine, a chief of great 
 promise, died of his wounds. His comrades buried him by the river side, 
 and planted above his grave a post on which was painted various sym- 
 bols and rude devices. This monument was known throughout the 
 Genesee forest as 'The Painted Post.' It was a land-mark well known 
 to the Six Nations, and was often visited bv their braves and chieftains. 
 This account of the origin of Painted PosttWas given to Benjamin Pat- 
 terson, the hunter, by a man named Taggart, who was carried to Fort 
 Niagara prisoner by McDonald'sparty and was a witness of the burial of 
 Captain Montour, or at least was in the encampment at the mouth of 
 the Tioga at the time of his death. Col. Harper, of Harpersfield, the 
 well known officer of the frontier militia of New York in the revolution , 
 informed Judge Knox, of Knoxville, in this countv, that the Painted 
 Post was erected over the grave of a chief who was wounded at the 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 307 
 
 "battle of Hog Back, and brought in a canoe to the head of the Chemung, 
 ■where he died.' Two sons of Queen Catharine accompanied her on her 
 bloody mission to Wyoming, in 1778, and it is said that her fury on 
 that terrible day was excited by one of them being slain in the fight that 
 occurred near Fort Jenkins, the 2nd of July, 1778, two days before the 
 massacre at Wyoming. General Sullivan in his report of the battle of 
 Newtown says that the wounded of the enemy were taken up the Tioga 
 river, among them, no doubt, were Capt. Montour or Canadasaga; and 
 this noted land-mark erected to his memory. No storied monument or 
 monumental urn could better illustrate their devotion than that rude 
 monument o'er the grave of their beloved chief; a symbol of affection 
 that has given celebrity to this locality for one hundred 3'ears, a symbol 
 of affection that gave name to a territor}' reaching from Big Flats to 
 Genesee, for in the primitive days of the settlers, Painted Post was a 
 word susceptible of broad construction. The original post found here 
 in 1792, from a description by those who saw it, was round in shape, 
 from eight to ten feet high, and stained red. It was standing in 1792, 
 when Capt. Samuel Erwin and Benjamin Patterson first visited this 
 place. In 1803 Capt Samuel Erwin became a permanent resident. At 
 this time the original post had rotted off or was taken down by persons 
 unknown and taken to that portion of the town now known as Knox- 
 ville, and the attempt made to steal the original location as well as the 
 original post. The first post erected by the whites was in 1803. This 
 post resembled the first and was erected near the original location . It 
 was larger and higher than the original, having a diameter from eigh- 
 teen to twenty inches, and being from thirty to forty feet in height. It 
 was perhaps the most novel, and at the same time, the first and prob- 
 ably the only register for the Painted Post hotel; the entire surface, as 
 far as could be reached from the end of the old watering trough, which 
 was near it, and some four or five feet above the ground, was covered 
 with initials, names and marks carved upon it. This second post, in 
 danger from decay, was, to avoid the fate of the first one, cut 
 down. Probably a piece may have been for some time kept in the 
 loft of the old log hotel. This post, like its predecessor, has lost the 
 date of its standing, but very probably it was about 1820 or '24, the 
 last being the correct date for the substitute sheet-iron Indian. The 
 old original sheet-iron Indian was designed and cut by John Wygant, 
 in the summer of 1824, the value of which at that time was a cow, and 
 he was paid by Francis Erwin, or an equivalent that purchased a cow. 
 Mr. Wygant was considered one of the best of the few mechanics in this 
 vicinity. He was killed some years after in a broil with Henry Borst, 
 who fractured W'ygant's skull with a stone, for which Borst suffered 
 legal punishment. * * * * * 
 
 "At the feet of these hills that stretch away in beautiful and distinct 
 outlines, flow the classic Tioga and Conhocton. They breathe 110 tale 
 of scenes that transpired so long ago on the listening air, and these 
 fairy islands are slumbering amidst the currents of the rivers as softly 
 in their Eden beauty, as upon the long gone summer days of 1779. 
 'Those stirring days hath like the morning vision fled into the expanded 
 grave of time'. " 
 
 Said Ansel J. McCall on this occasion: "The tradition generally ac- 
 
308 TOWN OF ERWIX. 
 
 credited that it (the Painted Post) was erected to mark the burial of Cap- 
 tain Montour, mortally wounded in the battle of Hog Back, the 29th of 
 August, 1779, is clearly erroneous. A letter extant, dated Niagara, Sep- 
 tember 17, 1779, from a gentleman to E. Pollard, states that Col. But- 
 ler informs him that it was not Capt. Rowland Montour who was 
 wounded at the Hog Back, but John Montour, who was shot in the back, 
 but in a few days afterward was able to repulse a scouting party. A 
 Mr. Gilbert and his family were taken prisoners in Pennsylvania in 
 June, 1.780, by a scouting party led by Capt. Rowland Montour and his 
 brother John, and carried to Niagara. Gilbert published an account of 
 his capture soon after. There is no evidence that any noted warrior died 
 from any wounds received in Sullivan^s battle. 
 
 ' ' The first person who records his interview with the Painted Post is 
 Freegift Patchin, who, with Capt. Alexander Harper and several others, 
 was captured on the Delaware river April 2, 1780, by Brant, and imme- 
 diately set out on their march for Niagara by the Susquehanna trail. 
 The winter had been unusually severe, the ice and snow had not disap- 
 peared. In a starved condition, some ten days after, the part}* reached 
 the Conhocton. On its bank they found the remains 01 a horse, or so 
 much thereof as the wolves had left, which probably in the fall 
 before had strayed from Sullivan's army and perished in the winter from 
 cold and hunger. It furnished them an ample meal. ' Near this,' says 
 Patchin in his narrative, ' we found the famous Painted Post. ' Wheth- 
 er in the Revolution, Dunmore's battles or the French war, an Indian 
 chief had been here victorious ; and this event he had celebrated by 
 causing a tree to be taken from the forest and hewed four-square, paint- 
 ed red, and the number he had killed — wLlch was twenty-eight — repre- 
 sented across in black paint, without any heads; while those he took 
 prisoners — which were thirty — were represented in black paint, as the 
 others, but with heads on. 
 
 " If this post had been erected in the fall before, it would have pre- 
 sented a fresh appearance, not to be mistaken by experienced woods- 
 men. Patchin would not have regarded it as an old-time affair. We 
 have no evidence whatever that Indians ever erected monuments to 
 their departed heroes. Indians erect war-posts to commemorate battles, 
 but never head-stones to their dead any more than misers post a notice 
 where their treasures are buried. Colonel Broadhead, who conducted 
 the expedition in August, 1779, from Pittsburgh up the Allegany river 
 — for the same purpose that Sullivan invaded this section — in his report 
 to General Washington, states that some twenty miles above Con-e- 
 ■uian-go, he found a large Indian village in which was standing a war- 
 post (as he calls it), painted red. It was probably erected for a similar 
 purpose as the one before us." 
 
 In answer to a communication sent to F. Parkman, LL. D., of Bos- 
 ton, Mass., one of the most noted Indian archaeologists of our day, we 
 received the following reply : " As to the Painted Post, I can only sup- 
 pose that it was used in one of the Iroquois dances — they had between 
 thirty and forty, religious and otherwise. The use of the post can only 
 be a matter of conjecture." 
 
 For man>* years ' ' the Painted Post ' ' was a noted landmark through- 
 
TOWX OF ERWIX. 309 
 
 out the regions of western New York and northern Pennsylvania. That 
 it was a favorite haunt of the red men long previous to the settlement 
 by the whites, is abundantly indicated by the great number of Indian 
 relics found scattered in and around the place. Stone hatchets, flint 
 arrow-heads, lance points, pottery, pestles, and many other mementoes 
 of the race, are gathered and preserved. 
 
 The First Organised District, or Town of Painted Post. — This town 
 was organized in 1791, and comprised the whole territory now embraced 
 within the limits of Steuben county, and possibly Dansville, in Livings- 
 ton county. The division was made no doubt, by the justices of the 
 court of sessions, as provided by law, but no official record of the 
 boundary of any town or district set apart by them is known to exist. 
 In the maps and tables of the Marshall's report of the census of 1790, 
 all the townships on the Phelps and Gorham purchase that had settle- 
 ments at that time are marked, and the settlements are easily located by 
 reason of the numbers of the townships and ranges. For example, 
 Painted Post is located in No. 2, Second Range, Dansville in No. 6, 
 Seventh Range, etc. In the record of the first town-meeting which 
 was brought to light a few years since by Charles Erwin, we see that 
 representatives from each of the settlements marked on the Marshall's 
 map were present as officers or electors, at the first town-meeting of the 
 ■ ' town of Painted Post, in the county of Ontario. ' ' These settlements 
 were included in the present towns of Bath, Canisteo, Dansville, Lind- 
 ley, Campbell, Corning, Erwin, Addison, Tuscarora and Cameron. 
 According to this record Hezekiah Thurber, and not Eli Mead, as given 
 in former histories, was the first supervisor, and met the board at 
 Canandaigua. The first town-meeting was held April 5, i7gi,in the 
 house built by Samuel Harris, or in one occupying the same site, then 
 kept as a hotel by David Fuller, *an agent and tenant of Erwin, the 
 pioneer proprietor of the township. 
 
 At the time of the organization of Steuben county, in March, 1796, 
 the area of the old town of Painted Post was reduced to about eighteen 
 miles square, and comprised townships 1, 2 and 3 in the First, Second, 
 and Third Ranges, or what is now the townships ofCaton, Coming and 
 Hornby, of the First Range, Lindley, Erwin and Campbell of the 
 Second Range, and Tuscarora, Addison and Thurston of the Third 
 
 * Our authority is Charles H. Erwin. Mr. A. J. McCall says : " At the house of 
 George Goodhue, which stood near the creek bridge." Mr. McCall further says : 
 " At this town-meeting the Wolcott, Gorton, Calkins, Mead, Thurber and Patterson 
 families were represented. Ben Eaton, the first merchant was present but there is 
 no definite information when he opened his store. McClure found him here in 
 1793, retailing his goods. At the town-meeting in 1792, the McCormicks and some 
 other families put in an appearance. "

 Range. In 1808, the three last named townships were taken off. In 
 1826, No. 1 and 2, of the Second Range — Lindley and Erwin — were- 
 named in honor of the pioneer proprietors, Nos. 1 and 2 of the First 
 Range — Caton and Corning — retaining the unique and time-honored 
 name of Painted Post. Hornby was named in honor of one of the pro- 
 prietors of the Pulteney estate, and Campbell for an early proprietor of 
 that town. Corning was the last township which bore the name of 
 Painted Post and retained it until 1850. Now the name is only applied 
 to the beautiful village which clusters around the ancient site of the 
 Indian relic which once gave name to the whole county, and her citizens, 
 take pride in perpetuating the name and the relic. 
 
 Early Settlers. — The first permanent settlers as we have shown, were 
 Samuel Harris and his son William, in 1786 or '87. In 17S8 came 
 Eli Mead and George Goodhue and families. In 1789 came David Ful- 
 ler and family. In 1790, Bradford Edgeton, William Hincher, James 
 Shaw, with their families, and David Cook, whose family did not come 
 until 1792. Col. Arthur Erwin, the owner of the township, came in 
 the very early spring of 179 1 with the intention of making it his perma- 
 nent home. On his return to Bucks county, Pa. , for his family, he had 
 reached his possessions then in Luzerne county — now the site of the vil- 
 lage of Sayre, near Tioga Point, Pa. — and while sitting in the house of 
 his tenant, Daniel McDuffe, he was assassinated by a squatter, who im- 
 mediately made his escape upon a stolen horse. In 1791 came John 
 Wyman and family, Capt. Samuel Erwin, then unmarried, and Major 
 Arthur Erwin, both sons of Col. Arthur Erwin. In 1793 Eldad Mead 
 and family, in 1794 John Mulhollen and family, and several others be- 
 fore 1796. In the latter year came Hugh Erwin, also a son of Col. Ar- 
 thur Erwin. In 1797, Joseph Grant, Jacob Turner, Homer Lane, Asher 
 Lane and John Kemp and families. 
 
 Benjamin Patterson was one of the characters of Steuben county in 
 the earliest days of its settlement. He was born in Loudon county „ 
 Virginia, in 1759. His mother was a cousin of Daniel Boone, the first 
 settler of Kentucky. Early in life he removed to Pennsylvania and 
 here amidst its wilds, formed a taste for hunting and the exciting life 
 which he afterwards followed. During the revolutionary war he served 
 in a rifle corps, organized for the defense of the border, and in this ser- 
 vice met with many exciting adventures. Sometimes he was scouting 
 among the most fearless , sometimes skirmishing in the forests with the. 
 wily savage, and sometimes acting as guide to travelers and emigrants, 
 in the wild woods of the Genesee. For many years his home was near 
 Northumberland, on the west branch of the Susquehanna; but the ad- 
 vent of farmers, the clearing of land and the destruction of game, in- 
 duced him to leave those haunts for the more congenial ones of the 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 3II 
 
 deeper forest, where he would, not be disturbed by the woodman's axe. 
 In 1796 he boated his goods up the river to Painted Post, and kept for 
 seven years the old tavern at Knoxville. He then moved up two miles 
 above Painted Post, to a farm, which the first year produced a crop of 
 "twenty-two wolves, nine panthers, a few bears, deer, shad and salmon 
 in countless numbers. ' ' He possessed great physical strength, and was 
 never worsted in a hand-to-hand encounter. It is related that a party 
 of Indians, with a few white men, had gathered around a fire, near the 
 Genesee, when the savages began to insult and abuse a white man who 
 stood by, and presently threw him into the fire. He scrambled out, and 
 was again thrown into the fire by the Indians. Patterson, a stranger to 
 them, standing near, sprang forward and dragged the man from the fire, 
 saying, " don't burn the man alive ! " Several of the party then stepped 
 forward and assaulted the hunter, but turned him over to Jones, the in- 
 terpreter, who was supposed to have no equal in a rough-and-tumble 
 fight. Jones was badly beaten, and kept his wigwam for several days. 
 Patterson retained to old age a love for the sports of his youth, and 
 found his chief pleasure in their pursuit. When attending court at Bath 
 as a juryman, he was in the habit of going out early in the morning and 
 shooting a deer before breakfast. When an old man, and living upon 
 his farm upon the Tioga, and game was becoming scarce, he was ac- 
 customed to lay aside his rifle every year when he had killed a hundred 
 deer. He was a man of keen observation, of remarkable memory, of 
 good judgment, intelligent, and of strict integrity. He possessed great 
 powers of narration , interesting not only the rough frontier men , but the 
 educated and refined. The late Chief Justice Spencer once met him and 
 was so interested in his conversation that he sat up all night to listen to 
 his narrations, and afterwards, whenever he was holding court at Bath, 
 would send for Patterson, provide for him at the hotel, and pass as much 
 time as possible with him when off the bench. Patterson died at Paint- 
 ed Post in 1830. 
 
 In 1 80 1 , John E. Evans came to Painted Post and boarded with Ben- 
 jamin Patterson. He afterward purchased a farm a mile and a half 
 south of the village — the C. F. Piatt farm — and built him a house. Mr. 
 Evans was born in the city of London, England, and came to Philadel" 
 phia in 1800. Before leaving England he had been liberally educated. 
 He possessed those businesss qualifications which made him a leading 
 man in the early history of Steuben county. He taught the first school 
 in the town, and numbered among his pupils, some who were subse- 
 quently among the most prominent men of this section, and some who 
 removed to distant states and became reputable citizens. During the 
 war of 1812, Mr. Evans was collector of revenue and afterward post- 
 master. 
 
312 TOWN OF ERWIN. 
 
 In 1803, Capt. Samuel Erwin who had returned to Pennsylvania re- 
 moved from Easton, Pa. to Painted Post with his family and furniture. 
 His furniture and goods were carted to Wilkesbarre, the metropolis of 
 the far famed Wyoming valley, on the Susquehanna river, and then 
 shipped on a Durham boat and brought up the rivers to Painted Post. 
 Capt. Erwin, wife and daughter — the latter then about fifteen months 
 old — came the whole distance on horse back, he carrying the child on 
 a pillow in front of him. The distance was about three hundred miles. 
 After a short delay at the house of David Fuller they moved into their 
 new residence, a log house, situated about a mile and a half west of the 
 village. The3 r lived in that house until about 181 1, when the}' moved 
 into the log tavern formerlj- owned and occupied by David Fuller, 
 where they remained until 1823. 
 
 By this time there had been made in various parts of the town , many 
 new settlements. George Young, father of Col. Francis E. Young, 
 and Edward C. Cooper, settled in the town at an early day. Mr. 
 Young, then a single man, came from Easton, Pa. 
 
 The people living upon these flats have from very early times suf- 
 fered great damage to their crops and lands by floods. In the autumn 
 of 1 817, the town was visited with what has been designated " the great 
 pumpkin flood." At that time, few, if any of the settlements extended 
 far be3 r ond the river flats, and the waters overflowed the banks and 
 swept away nearly all the late produce. The pumpkins, which upon 
 the rich soil had grown in great abundance and to a great size, were 
 very conspicuous, covering the face of the deep, swift current. In the 
 month of May, 1833, the valleys of Conhocton and Tioga were again 
 inundated. This flood was caused bj r heavy showers. It came within 
 twelve inches of reaching the height of the great flood of 1 8 1 7 , and was 
 much more disastrous. Mills, manufactories, dwellings, bridges, lum- 
 ber, cattle, sheep and swine were swept away by the swollen and re- 
 morseless current Another flood occurred on November 10, 1857. 
 The Chemung river and its tributaries were higher then than at any 
 previous time of which any record exists. In 1865 high water again 
 did great damage, and again on June 1, 1889 — at the time of the disas- 
 trous flood which swept awa} T the city of Johnstown, Pa. — and another 
 in November of the same year. Much damage was done by an over- 
 flow caused by heavy rains, in September, 1890. 
 
 Biographical. — Col. Arthur Erwin came from near the city of Antrim, 
 Ireland, before the revolution, and settled at Erwina, Bucks county, 
 Pa., nearly opposite Frenchtown, N. J. He was a gentleman not only 
 of shrewd business habits and untiring energy, but of culture and afflu- 
 ence. He was proprietor of a large landed estate, extending some 
 eight or nine miles alons: the west bank of the Delaware river. During

 the revolution he held a commission, and served with some distinction 
 in the American army. Soon after the close of the war, he made a 
 purchase of nearty five thousand acres of land in the Chemung valley, 
 near Tioga Point, and subsequently, in the year 1789, he purchased 
 the township of Erwin and parts of the towns of Canisteo and Hornells- 
 ville. He was twice married, and reared a family of ten children. 
 As before related, he visited his possessions in this vicinity in 1792, ac- 
 companied by his two sons, Samuel and Francis, who were to remain 
 and superintend his business here. On his return to Pennsylvania, he 
 was shot by an ejected squatter, named Thomas, and died in a few 
 hours. 
 
 Capt. Samuel Erwin was born in Erwina, Pa., May 4, 1770, came to 
 Painted Post in 1792, and remained irl charge of his father's large pos- 
 sessions here until 1795 or '96. On January 10, 1799, he was commis- 
 sioned by President Adams first Lieutenant in the nth Regt. of United 
 States Infantry, his commission expiring with the President's term of 
 office. President Jefferson, in 1802, commissioned him first Lieutenant 
 of the 2nd Regt. of United States Infantry, and he was subsequentl}' 
 promoted to the rank of Captain. In 1801 he married Rachel Heck- 
 man, of Easton, Pa., and removed to Painted Post, as related elsewhere 
 in these pages, and resided here until his death November 10,1836. In 
 1806, Captain Erwin and his brother Francis, were engaged in mercan- 
 tile business, in which they continued until 181 1. Major Arthur Er- 
 win was their clerk. 
 
 Gen. Francis E. Erwin, the second son of Capt. Samuel Erwin, was 
 born in the town of Erwin, Steuben county, May 3, 1803. During the 
 years 1838 and 1839, he was supervisor of his town. He was elected 
 to the legislature in 1841 and 1842. He married Sophia, daughter of 
 Ansel McCall, of Painted Post, January 23, 1827. 
 
 Capt. Arthur H. Erwin, also a son of Capt. Samuel Erwin, was born 
 in this town Novembr 26, 1805. When a youth he attended an acade- 
 my at Easton, Pa., where he met Frances M. McKeen, his future wife. 
 His boyhood was spent upon his father's farm, and he was also engaged 
 in lumbering. He was a partner in the mercantile business for several 
 years. He married February 2, 1828. Of this union twelve children 
 were born. He died August 1, 1863. 
 
 Charles H. Erwin, son of Capt. Samuel Erwin, was born in this town 
 in 1822. He received an academic education, and on becoming of age 
 inherited the grist and saw-mill at Painted Post, and also the family 
 mansion. Never having been trained to business, his various ventures 
 were therefore unsuccessful. About the year 1870, he published a small 
 volume entitled " The History of Painted Post," taking in the original 
 town of that name, and of the towns that had been formed from it. It was

 an imperfect work, though its compilation involved much research and 
 care — and therefore, subsequently, he decided to rewrite and expand 
 the history, and make it a volume of several hundred pages. This he 
 did, and completed the work two or three years ago, but it has never 
 been published. He ^ook much pains in writing this last history, and 
 we are indebted to him for many facts recorded in the history of this 
 town . It was the task of a number of years to procure the material 
 facts which he had collected. Tradition was unreliable, and letters 
 and statements were scattered among the descendants of the pioneers. 
 But the work of collecting and compiling was congenial to his tastes, 
 and he took much pride in the result of his labor. Mr. Erwin was a 
 man of much intelligence, and when a young man had spent some time 
 in foreign travel. His strong convictions were fortified by the results 
 of investigation, and he was ever trustworthy. He was to have been 
 Colonel of one of the home regiments, but it was decided to give the 
 place to a Democrat, to strengthen the Union sentiment in this section 
 of the state. Mr. Erwin was one of the best known men in Steuben 
 county, consequent upon his interest in public matters, and especially 
 because of his researches in various towns to get facts bearing upon the 
 history of the old town of Painted Post. He was of temperate habits, 
 and his integrity was unquestioned. His greetings were cordial, and he 
 ignored no acquaintance. He was sympathetic , and placed great con- 
 fidence in the fairness and uprightness of all men, unless he discovered, 
 in personal dealings with them, that they were unworthy of confidence. 
 Opinionated, 3-et tolerant, he set forth his opinions without fear or fav- 
 or, yet did not impugn the sincerity or patriotism of those who differed. 
 Mr. Erwin was a man of fine physique, being upwards of six feet tall, and 
 his frame erect and powerful. In manner he was courteous, kind, ob- 
 liging — and sought to be a gentleman in his demeanor, and in his con- 
 duct as a citizen. He married Antoinette Curtis, daughter of David 
 Curtis, a very amiable and accomplished woman, whose decease a few 
 years since was greatly lamented by a large circle of friends. Mr. Er- 
 win died September 6, 1890. 
 
 Edward Townsend, son of Henry A. Townsend, of Bath, was born 
 in the year 1799. He received an academic education and was study- 
 ing law at Alban) r when his health gave out and he was compelled to 
 seek out-of-door employment. He married Eliza, eldest child of Capt. 
 Samuel Erwin, in November, 1S21. She was born October 15, 1801, 
 at Easton, Pa. Mr. Townsend was injured by the kick of a horse, 
 from the effects of which he died some days after, in 1826. Soon after 
 the death of her husband, Mrs. Townsend left her home in Athens, Pa., 
 whither they had gone to reside on a farm, and came to Erwin to reside 
 with her parents. 
 
TOWN OF ERWIN. 315 
 
 Edward Erwin Townsend, son of Edward and Eliza Erwin Town- 
 send, was born at Tioga Point — now Athens, Pa. — January 23, 1825. 
 After the death of his father, the subject of this notice was brought to 
 Painted Post, and lived in the family of his grandfather, Capt. Samuel 
 Erwin, until twenty -four years of age. He married Nancy L. Jerome, 
 September 7, 1848. She was born in Suffolk county, N.Y., March 12,

 Easton, Pa., with the Erwins in 1792, and his maternal grandfather, 
 Samuel Doyle, came from Williamsport with Benjamin Patterson, and 
 was engaged in Williamson's enterprise of opening a road to the Gene- 
 see. Col. Young early learned the tailors trade, but did not follow it 
 long. He has always lived in this town, and is probably the oldest 
 man living who was born in the town. August 12, 1S30, Mr. Young 
 married Isabella D. Gray, of Sullivan township, Pa., who is also living. 
 Mr. Young was a colonel of militia, and a member of Gen. Erwin's 
 staff. 
 
 Anthony \V. Thompson was born in Mar} r land, Otsego count}', May 
 2, 1S08. His father, James Thompson, with his family emigrated to 
 the old town of Painted Post, in this county, in 1817. He was a car- 
 penter and joiner by occupation, which his son also ever after followed. 
 Anthony was also an experienced and skillful river pilot in the old 
 rafting days, making his trips to tide- water as often as high water came 
 in the spring time. He married in 1S33 an estimable lady, Miss Lucy 
 M., daughter of Col. Elisha Ward, of Reading, a descendant of that 
 gallant soldier, Gen. Artemas, of Bunker Hill fame. 
 
 Thomas Thompson, grandfather of Anthony, was a Scotch Irishman 
 from Ulster, who landed in Philadelphia a short time before the revolu- 
 tionary war. When the first gun was fired at Lexington, he enlisted in 
 the Continental army. Upon his discharge at the close of the war, he 
 settled in Columbia county, N. Y., and in 1793 removed to Otsego 
 county. His son James, the father of Anthony, married there Eliza- 
 beth Burnside, of that county. In 18 17 James, with his family, came 
 to Painted Post. He resided for many years in a log house on the north 
 bank of the Chemung river, at the termination of McCullock's Lane in 
 Knoxville. His father, Thomas, resided with him and died there Oc- 
 tober 9, 1823. James Thompson died about fifty years ago in Erwin, 
 and his wife in 1869. Anthony Thompson died on April 3, 1891. 
 
 Lyman Balcom was born November 19, 1800, in Norwich — now 
 Preston — Chenango county, N. Y. Col. Samuel Balcom, his father, 
 
31 6 TOWN OF ERWIN. 
 
 was extensively engaged in lumbering in Chenango county. He was a 
 colonel in the state militia, having risen from a private. Lyman Bal- 
 com received a common school education, and was reared a farmer and 
 lumberman. At the age of seventeen , he was a pilot on the Susque- 
 hanna. In April, 1835, he settled in Campbell, and in Erwin in 1852. 
 He bought and sold more than five thousand acres of land. 
 
 Willis J. Savory, son of Ira and Lovina Richardson Savon-, was 
 born in Marcellus, Onondaga county, November 28, 1807. Ira Savory 
 settled in Onondaga county previous to 1802, and lived there until 
 1 818, when he located at Campbell. He settled in Painted Post about 
 1823. He died February 9, 1842. Willis J. Savory came to this town 
 with his father and resided here until 1836, when he moved to Che- 
 mung county. He returned to Painted Post two years later and has 
 since resided here. He was engaged as hotel-keeper for over twenty 
 j' ears. 
 
 Warren S. Hodgtnan was born in Stillwater, Saratoga county, De- 
 cember 10, 1824. In September, 1846, he removed to Bath, and worked 
 for his brother, L. D. Hodgman, in his mill. Four years later he set- 
 tled in Painted Post and engaged in the milling business in partnership 
 with his brother. 
 
 William, son of Gardner Brown, was born in Connecticut, June 21, 
 1 80 1. His father settled at Unadilla, Otsego county, in 1809 and 
 William came to this town in 1S36 locating at Painted Post. The 
 following year he moved to Gang Mills. He was a carpenter by trade, 
 and assisted in building the first two-story framed house in Corning, 
 which was built by one Gladwin, a tailor. He married Almina Fox of 
 Otsego county. 
 
 Barry C. Wood was born in South East, Putnam count}*, X. Y., 
 October 17, 1817 and resided there until December, 1837, when he lo- 
 cated at Centreville and five years later moved to Painted Post where 
 he has since resided. He learned the trade of blacksmith in the east, 
 and was for some time engaged in making carriage irons and springs. 
 Since his residence here his business has been exclusively that of gun- 
 smith. He held the office of assessor for eight 3'ears. His wife was 
 Mary A. Feegles.

TOWN OF FREMONT. 317 
 
 Painted Post. — In the spring of 1833, Capt. Samuel Erwin first laid 
 out the village plot of Painted Post, that portion lying between the 
 Hornby road and the river, and Hamilton and Steuben streets. The plot 
 was subsequently enlarged — on the east by Gen . F. E. Erwin, H. P. 
 Badger and George W. Patterson and on the west by Charles H. Erwin. 
 The village was incorporated July 18, i860. 
 
 Gang Mills. — About the year 1832, the estate of William Erwin in 
 this town was purchased by Isaac Gray and Messrs. Piatt and Dana of 
 O wego . It embraced an area of about four thousand acres of land boun- 
 tifully supplied with groves of superior pine timber. They built the 
 first mill upon the site since known as Gang Mills. The property has 
 subsequently passed through several hands who carried on here an ex- 
 tensive business in the manufacture of lumber. The timber being ex- 
 hausted, the mills are now idle. 
 
 Cooper's Plains. — It is said that one John Williams, a " Hessian," 
 who had been taken prisoner at Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga, set- 
 tled on lands adjacent to the town line between Erwin and Campbell, 
 about 1795. In 1 8 14 part of this land was bought by Judge McBur- 
 ney and in 1 8 1 5 Alson Pierce and two men by the name of Cobb pur- 
 chased most of the remainder. 
 
 Judge Cooper settled in this part of the town in 1828. He was an 
 only son, and his father resided in Easton, Pa. His son, John 
 Cooper, Jr., was a physician of considerable note and the founder of the 
 village of Cooper's Plains. 
 
 Erwin. — In the spring of 1873 a depot was built near the west line of 
 E. E. Townsend's property, and the station was called Erwin. A post- 
 office was establiseed here and Mr. Townsend appointed postmaster. 
 
 Manufactures. — Painted Post Mills (W. S. Hodgman & Co.,) was 
 built by John Spicer for Samuel Erwin in 1823. In 1851 Johnson & 
 Cook and L,. D. Hodgman became proprietors, and the following year 
 built the saw-mill and the second grist-mill in 1853. It is exclusively 
 a water-power mill and has a capacity of fifty barrels a day. It was re- 
 modeled and rollers added in 1886. 
 
 C. A. Rose's Feed, Cider and Shingle Mill was established by Mr. Rose 
 at Cooper's plains in ths fall of 1889. The feed-mill has a capacity for 
 grinding sixty bushels an hour. It is furnished with. a sixteen horse- 
 power engine, and a twenty-two horse power boiler. 
 
 FREMONT* was formed from Hornellsville, Dansville, Wayland and 
 Howard, November 17, 1854. It is an interior town lying north- 
 west of the centre of the county. Its surface is a hilly upland, form- 
 ing a part of the dividing ridge between the Conhocton and Canisteo

 rivers. Its streams are small brooks. The soil is chiefly a shaly loam 
 derived from the desintegration of the surface rocks. It is bounded on 
 the north by Dansville and Wayland, on the east by a small portion of 
 Cohocton and by Howard, on the south by Howard and Hornellsville, 
 and on the west by Hornellsville and Dansville. It comprises for the 
 most part, fine grazing lands, and good wheat and general farming land 
 is found in all parts of the town. The population according to the 
 census of 1890 was 1,037. 
 
 Early Settlement. — The first settlement was made by Job B. Rath- 
 bun, who settled at what is ca^d " Job's Corners," in the spring of 
 1812, and built the first house in the town. Mr. Rathbun came from 
 Connecticut two years previous to his settlement here, and located in 
 Dansville. Abel H. Baldwin came from Otsego county in 181 2. Thomas 
 Buck and sons, — Sylvester and John A. — natives of Washington county, 
 settled near Mr. Baldwin. John A. Buck married Rebecca, daughter 
 of Abel Baldwin, August 24, 18 15, and settled on the ridge near by. 
 They were the first couple married in the town. Their son, Charles E- 
 Buck, was the first white child born in the town. The first death was 
 that of Mrs. Amos Baldwin, December 12, 18 15. Joel Everett and 
 David Atherton settled here in 1813- 14 ; Francis Drake and a Mr. Tay- 
 lor in 1815 ; Samuel Sharp, Nehemiah Luther, Stephen Holden, and 
 Edward Markham in 1816. The first school was taught hx L}'dia 
 Everett in 18 19. Ira Travis was an early settler to the south of Mr. 
 Rathbun. Solomon and Jacob Conderman were early settlers between 
 Baldwin's and Job's Corners. Capt. Joseph Bartholomew, from Wash- 
 ington county, settled south of Job's Corners, in the southeast part of 
 the town. Lemuel Harding settled on the Morrison Harding farm, in 
 1816. Soon after, Oliver Harding, a soldier of the revolution, who left 
 the Wyoming Valley at the time of the massacre, moved into the place 
 with his. sons, Oliver Jr., Justus, Abram and Henry, giving the name 
 of Harding Hill to that part of the town. Samuel Huntley was an 
 earl}' settler who reared a large family, and subsequently moved to 
 Illinois. Robert Killbury and son Robert, came here about 1815, and 
 settled on the William Creidler farm, where they built a double log 
 house. Captain Elijah Strait, who came in 18 15, was the first settler 
 in the north part of the town . Edward Markham and Francis Drake 
 settled near him the following year. Jerry Kinney, George Nutting, 
 Barnard Brayton, Henry Cotton and Leonard Briggs formed a settle- 
 ment at the head of the west branch of Neil's creek, in 18 19. When 
 these settlers came, there was a camp of about twenty Indians on the 
 Cotton place, in the valley, where they hunted during the season. The 
 first clearing in the vicinity of Haskinville was made by Alexander 
 Kelly, on the Isaac Rathbun place. James Rider and William Haskin 
 
TOWN OF FREMONT. 319 
 
 came together from Saratoga county in 1818, and settled across the 
 creek from Henry Cotton. In 1820 Gideon Maynard, from Cayuga 
 county, settled on the Richard Maynard place. Stephen Holden, Sr., 
 settled in the northwest corner of the town in 18 16. Russell Cotton 
 came in 18 19. Norman Eldridge was among the early settlers. In 
 1817, Levi Gates came from Washington county and Amos Luther, 
 
 father of Nehewiah Luther came from the same county that year. 
 
 Kieffer came from Vermont. Samuel Haskin was also an early settler 
 here. 
 
 Early Items. — The first saw-mill was built in the town by Daniel Up- 
 son, in 181 6, and the first grist-mill, also built by him, was erected in 
 1820. William Haskin opened the first tavern in the town, at Has- 
 kinville in 1836. In the days of the early settlement of this town, 
 wolves were plenty, and we are told that one of the settlers who had 
 penned his little flock of sheep in a high enclosure over night, was as- 
 tonished to find two wolves with them in the morning — unable to climb 
 the high walls, and too much alarmed at the situation to have a taste 
 for mutton. Sometimes wolves would be tracked to the "Knolls" in 
 the south part of the town, when a general hunt would be instituted, 
 the retreat surrounded, and close figuring ensue on the division of the 
 bounty, which was from forty to sixty dollars on each wolf "killed in 
 the town . " It is related how a shrewd hunter for years guarded a she 
 wolf's retreat, stealing her young and rearing them until old enough to 
 take a bount3" and how he trapped wolves when they were plentiest, 
 leading them home securely tied, to kill them in his own town "accord- 
 ing to law." In 1818, Daniel Upson, the miller, killed the last elk 
 seen in the town. 
 
 Salmon Gates, born in Hartford, Washington count3', N. Y., came 
 to Dansville — now Fremont — in 18 15. He took up the farm now 
 known as the William Bills farm, which he cleared. From Bath he 
 came in by way of Loon Lake, following for a great distance the trees 
 which had been notched to show the line of lots. His purchase was a 
 mile beyond any clearing, consequently he was obliged to cut a mile of 
 road through the hitherto unbroken wilderness to his claim. He did 
 not know that he had a neighbor within many miles, but hearing occa- 
 sionally a dog bark in the direction of "Dutch street," he investigated 
 and found the Conderman family there. Arnold Buck, an early settler 
 having lost a sheep found he had a near neighbor in the the person of 
 Salmon Gates whom he discovered while searching for his ewe. 
 
 Many of the early settlers of this town were from the region of the 
 Mohawk river, and were descendants of the Palatinates, who were 
 assisted to emigrate and settle in the Mohawk valley through the "char- 
 ity" of Queen Anne, not far from the beginning of the eighteenth cen-

 tury. Her Majesty, taking into consideration the great sufferings and 
 poverty of the poor Lutherans, having come to England from the lower 
 Palatinat in Germany, was graciously pleased to order that they be made 
 denizens of her kingdom, and furthermore : 
 
 " The Queen, being graciously pleased to send 52 German protes- 
 tants to Xew York, to settle them there at her own expense. Her Maj- 
 esty, as a further act of charity, is willing to provide for the subsistence 
 of their minister, etc., and provide necessary tools for agriculture to be 
 sent with them, to enable them to begin to make settlements." 
 
 These people were represented as being "very necessitous and in the 
 utmost want, not having at present anything to subsist themselves. That 
 they have been reduced to this miserable condition by the ravages com- 
 mitted by the French in the Lower Palatinat, where the}' lost all they 
 had." 
 
 The settlement of these people in America was ostensibly an act of 
 great charity on the part of "Her Majesty' ' and the British government; 
 but we learn from the order of her council in relation to these poor per- 
 secuted people that the real object was that " they maybe useful to this 
 kingdom, particularly in the production of naval stores, and as a fron- 
 tier against the French and their Indians." 
 
 Samuel Conderman came to this town from the Mohawk Valley in 
 18 15, and settled on the farm now owned by Frank Sherwood, opposite 
 the Evangelical church. He came with his family to Bath, and from 
 there cut his way for a long distance before reaching his place. He 
 built the first framed house in the now town of Fremont. It was built 
 by Abram Hoagland, of the Pond Settlement. His wife, Catherine 
 Bauter Conderman, was the first person buried in the Evangelical cem- 
 etery, the burial taking place in May, 1821. 
 
 Lewis Canfield, from Kingsbury, Washington county, settled on the 
 farm owned by the late Horace Zimmerman about 1816. His wife was 
 Mehitable Coxe, who was reared in Vermont. 
 
 Cornelius Conderman was born in Minden, Montgomery count}-, N. 
 Y., January 3, 181 2. His father, Adam Conderman, was a soldier in 
 the war for independence, and when very young was detailed to guard 
 Fort Willett, which was built bj' Colonel Willett upon a rise of ground 
 on the farm of Marcus Conderman — father of Adam — and which w T as 
 purchased by Marcus upon his arrival from Holland, whence he had fled 
 on occount of religious and political persecution, being a Protestant and 
 loyalist, about the year 1700. Adam Conderman came with his family 
 to the now town of Fremont, in 1818, and there took up four hundred 
 acres of land, intending a farm of one hundred acres for each of his four 
 sous. He located on what is known as ' ' Dutch street, ' ' about one mile 
 west of ' ' Job's Corners. ' ' The family came in a covered wagon, which 
 was their only shelter at night, and Mr. Conderman drove a few cows,

 making the journey by way of Utica, Geneva and Penn Yan to Bath, 
 and thence by way of Kennedyville to GofF Mills, thence to Howard 
 Flats. The last night of the journey was spent in a covered wagon at 
 Goff's Mills. 
 
 Job Rathbun, then a young man and unmarried, had taken up land 
 at what has since been known as "Job's Corners," and Matthew Buck 
 lived in a log house where the Evangelical church stands. It was at 
 this place that Mr. Conderman settled, paying Buck for his "better- 
 ments. ' ' At times he was obliged to go to Geneva for flour for his fam- 
 ily. The name of Conderman has passed through a variety of ortho- 
 graphical changes, having been spelled Gunterman, Gunderman, Con- 
 terman, Contraman and Countryman before assuming its present form. 
 Cornelius Conderman married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Conder- 
 man, January 8, 1835. They are in the fifty-sixth year of their married 
 life. Seven children have been born to them: Samuel, a soldier in the 
 war for the Union; Jacob R., died November 25, 1890; Elizabeth, wife 
 of Asa Phillips; Harriet, and Phoebe J., and two that died in infancy. 
 Harriet married, first, Horace Zimmerman, by whom she has three 
 children, viz.: Sherman, Cameron C. and Alice J. Her present hus- 
 band is Charles Schaunberg. Having been reared in the wilderness, 
 Mr. Cornelius Conderman never had any educational advantages except 
 such as were obtained in the rough schools of industry and'experience. 
 Yet from these schools have come the stalwart hearts and strong hands 
 that in former years did the country noble service. Frugal and indus- 
 trious, as the peoplfe of the fatherland always are, he retired with a 
 competency nearly a quarter of a century ago, to Hornellsville, where 
 he now resides, though he has never relinquished the management of 
 his farm. 
 
 Daniel Upson, when fifteen years of age, came from Wyoming in 
 Pennsylvania, where his father was killed at the time of the massacre. 
 He drove the cattle from Wyoming up the Susquehanna and to Canisteo, 
 where he remained during the winter to care for the cattle while the 
 rest returned. In the spring his mother and step-father, Solomon Ben- 
 nett came. In 18 19 he purchased a tract of four hundred acres, now 
 comprised in this town, at three dollars an acre, the land company do- 
 nating forty acres more after he erected a mill at Freemont Centre. His 
 wife was Rachel Crosby. Children: Asa, Polly, Benjamin, Hannah, 
 and Phoebe. He died in 1832. Asa Upson was born February 20, 
 1792. He married Elizabeth Yaple, of Tompkins county. They had 
 no children, but reared an adopted daughter, Lydia Stone, wife of D. 
 D. Manhart. i 
 
 John Kelly came from Springfield, Otsego county, N. Y., in 1820, 
 and settled on the George Collins farm near Haskinville, and after-

 ■ward on the John M. Kelh' place, where he resided for fifty-six years. 
 He died September 15, 1878. John M. Kelh'. son of the above, was 
 born September 1, 1S36. He was educated in the schools of the town 
 and at Rogersville Union Seminary, and at Oberlin College, Oberlin, 
 O. He has since been chiefly engaged in farming, with the exception 
 of the years he spent in the army. Mr. Kellyenlisted August 20, 1862, 
 in Co. F, 141st Regt. X. Y. Vols., of which he was orderl}- sergeant, 
 and served until the close of the war. 
 
 Michael G. Helmer came from Herkimer in 1S2S, and settled at what 
 is now Stephens Mills. He married Mary Conderman, by whom he had 
 eleven children, viz.: Adam ; Elizabeth ; George and Catherine (twins); 
 Robie ; Mar}'; Jacob; Michael; Melinda ; Cyrus, and Benjamin who 
 died in infancy. His farm was new land, all of which he cleared, there 
 being but few settlers here prior to his coming. He died in 1S68. 
 Adam Helmer married Betsey Hame. The children born to them are 
 Electa ; Theodore, and John. Mr. Helmer has spent his life farming. 
 John Helmer married Ella, daughter of Siphorus Gates. He has been 
 twice elected town clerk, and was appointed postmaster at Stephens Mills 
 August 10, 1889. 
 
 Edward Patterson was born in Northumberland, England. June 21, 
 1808, and when fifteen years of age came with his parents to Otsego 
 count}-. On April 1, 1832, he came with his father, Roger Patterson, 
 to this town and settled on his present farm. Roger Patterson died in

 Elisha G. Stephens, son of Nathan Stephens. 'was born on the site of 
 the village of Addison, March 21, 1S05. In 1809 his father moved his 
 family to Canisteo, subsequently returned to Addison, and again re- 
 moved to Canisteo in 18 15. Elisha G. received such educational ad- 
 vantages as was, in his early days, afforded the children of the settlers, 
 and was brought up on a farm. When a young man he learned the 
 trade of mill-wright and carpenter. He lived and did business many 
 years in Hornellsville, where he held several local offices of trust. In 
 1S33 he bought of the Upson heirs several hundred acres of land in the 
 now town of Fremont, where for fifty -five years he was extensively en- 
 gaged in milling, lumbering and farming. During the agitation of the 
 subject of forming a new town on the western border of the county, the 
 people of Hornellsville were going to force a division which would 
 make Mr. Stephens' centre at Arkport. This he considered deroga- 
 tory to his interests, and set about to form a town of his own, which he 
 accomplished, having for its centre Stephens Mills. Here he built a 
 hotel which he conducted for ten years, and through untiring industry 
 and enterprise has caused to be built a pleasant little village where at 
 the time of his settlement here, were little else than owls and wolves

 to inhabit the place. He married Sarah, daughter of William Bennett 
 of Canisteo. Mrs. Stephens died in 1861. Mr. Stephens has been 
 school commissioner and inspector, highway commissioner, justice of 
 the peace, and for two terms represented his town in the board of super- 
 visors. Although retired from active business, he is still active in mind, 
 and possesses a remarkable memory of the early events in this part of 
 the county. To him we are indebted for man}' reminiscences presented 
 in this work. 
 
 Solomon Benjamin, accompanied by his son Silas, came from Schuy- 
 lers' Lake, Otsego county, to this town in 1835, and took up the farm 
 now occupied by Silas and Ledran H. Benjamin. There was a slash- 
 ing of two or three acres, and a few apple trees set out on the place at 
 the time of their settlement. The remainder the}' cleared. Solomon 
 Benjamin married first, Dorcas Hecox. 
 
 Richard, son of Conradt Zimmerman, was born in Minden, Mont- 
 gomery county, March 13, 1813, and in 1839 came to this town and 
 settled on the farm now owned and occupied by him. His first wife 
 was Mary A. Dockey, whose parternal grandfather when he was seven- 
 teen years old came to this country with Burgoyne; under whom he 
 fought until taken prisoner, after which he fought with the Americans 
 during the remainder of the revolutionary war. His second wife was 
 Maria, daughter of Lodewick Winnie, who came from Montgomer;- 
 county and settled in the pond settlement in Avoca in 1812 or 1813. 
 Horace, son of the above, married Harriet, daughter of Cornelius Con- 
 derman. Children: Sherman D. born December 1, 1866; Cameron C, 
 May 15, 1869, and Alice J., July 29, 1870. 
 
 Peter Teeft, born in Massachusetts, was a soldier in the war of 1S12. 
 After his discharge at Buffalo, not wishing to march back to Boston, he 
 crossed over into Canada where he subsequently married Mary DePoty. 
 Here he spent the remainder of his life. His son, John Teeft, came to 
 Dansville in 1847, and subsequently lived in Wheeler, after which he 
 settled in this town. He married first Eliza A. Sponable. Four chil- 
 dren were born to them, viz: Mary A.; Oliver Judson, who died at 
 the age of twenty years; Loretta, who died at the age of fifteen years: 
 and William. His present wife was Mary A. Thomas of Hornellsville. 
 Their children are Delpha J.; Anna C,; Edith I.; Sidney D., who died 
 at the age of two and a half years; Lena B., died aged four years; and 
 Theron, died at the age of four months. 
 
 Harrison Russell, son of Joel Russell, was born in Howard .February 
 4, 1839. He has always resided in the towns of Howard and Fremont, 
 where he received his early schooling. Later, he attended the Rogers- 
 ville Seminary. He has been engaged chiefly in farming. In August 
 1862 he enlisted in Co. K, 107 Regt, N. Y. Vols., and served until dis-

 charged on account of disability, in 1S63. He has held the office of 
 justice of the peace eight terms; was postmaster at Big Creek sixteen 
 years; has held the office of assessor and other minor offices.' His wife 
 was Huldah Nicholson by who he has five children viz: Harmon; 
 Alice; Anna D.; Mary E., and Joel D. 
 
 Benjamin Preston came from Penfield — nowWebster — Monroe county, 
 in 1837, and settled on the farm north of the Osborne farm. He died 
 in 1852. 
 
 John D. Conderman was born in the town of Warren, Herkimer 
 county, N. Y., September 30, 1820. He was a descendant from a fam- 
 ily of Holland protestants, who, according to family^ tradition, came to 
 this country in the early part of the 17th century on account of religious 
 persecutions waged against the protestants in that country-. They set- 
 tled near the present site of New York city, the later descendants mi- 
 grating to Herkimer county, New York. 
 
 He was a son of Adam J. Conderman, a veteran of the war of 181 2, 
 who was born in Herkimer county January 31, 1784, and died in the 
 town of Fremont, this county, October 27, 1870. He served as aid- 
 de-camp to General Scott in the memorable battle of Lundy's Lane. 
 After the close of the war he followed the occupation of blacksmith, at 
 what was then known as Page's Corners, in the town of Warren, 
 Herkimer county, N. Y. In 1835 he migrated with his family to what 
 was then known as the town of Howard, now Fremont, in this county. 
 
 His sons, Abram, David, John D., Caleb and Hiram are all well- 
 known to the early inhabitants of this county as an energetic and pros- 
 perous life has been spent by each within its confines. 
 
 John D., an engraving of whom accompanies this sketch, was mar- 
 ried in 1845 to Asenath Spaulding, a daughter of George and Elizabeth 
 Spaulding, old and respected residents of the town of Howard. 
 
 The early portion of his business life was spent as a drover and a far- 
 mer in the town of Fremont. His residence was widely known as a 
 headquarters for drovers in this portion of the state. Such business, 
 though obsolete now, was an important occupation in those days. 
 
 In the difficulties between the Pulteney estate and the farmers of this 
 county who banded themselves together under the name of Anti- 
 Renters for the purpose of resisting the claims of the estate to lands oc- 
 cupied by them and for which they had originally contracted to pur- 
 chase from this estate. Secret meetings, threats and riots were common 
 and though in the hot-bed of the anti-renting element, he maintained a 
 strict neutrality and refused to enlist in the undertaking which in his 
 judgment was more than likely to prove fatal to its instigators. 
 
 He advocated the policy of paying the estate for their lands and to 
 avoid combinations and litigations, which position resulted in consider-

 able ill-feeling on the part of the Anti-Renters, made manifest by the 
 shooting of his stock and other wanton destruction of his property in 
 general, accompanied by menaces of personal violence. Time showed 
 the wisdom of his course, and while they were expending their energy 
 and money in attempting to avoid judgments and resist evictions, he 
 had, by his industry and economy, obtained clear titles to over one 
 thousand acres of this county's best lands. In 1874 he removed to the 
 city of Hornellsville, where the remaining years of his life were spent as 
 a capitalist, and in supervising large property interests in that city. He 
 died at his residence July 17, 1890, leaving a widow and four sons, 
 Frank, a traveling salesman, Lavern, a farmer residing in Fremont, 
 Charles, an attorney and counsellor-at-law, and George, a physician, 
 both now practicing in Hornellsville. 
 
 Fremont Centre (Stephens Mills P. O.) is located near the geo- 
 graphical center of the town. At the time of Mr. Stephens' purchase 
 here in 1833, there was only a little log cabin down in the ravine near 
 the mills, and another occupied by David Dunbar, a preacher, which 
 stood near where Mr. Stephens afterward built his tavern. There was 
 a small clearing made by "Jerry " Carringtonin 18 18, and all else was 
 woods. Mr. Stephens repaired the Upson mills and added a separator 
 and smut machine to the grist-mill, a new thing in those days, induc- 
 ing people to come a long distance and even past other mills. A black- 
 smith was induced to locate at the mills and a cooper came to make bar- 
 rels for the flour. One hundred acres of land were cleared the first sea- 
 son. In 1839 a daughter of Mr. Stephens' dying, was buried on the ex- 
 treme corner of the clearing, and afterward the cemetery was located at 
 that point. The Stephens Hotel was built in 1854. During his resi- 
 dence in this place, Mr. Stephens has ever been the leading man, and to 
 him more than to an}-one else is honor due for the growth and prosper- 
 ity of the little hamlet which bears his name. 
 
 It contains two churches, (Advent and Methodist Episcopal), a 
 school, saw-mill and shoe-last factory, grist-mill, planing and matching- 
 mill, two blacksmith and repair shops, two general stores and about for- 
 ty dwellings. The mail is received three days each week by stage from 
 Hornellsville to Wallace's Station, going and returning the same day. 
 
 Haskinville is located in the northeast part of the town of Fre- 
 mont and contains a church (Wesleyan Methodist), general store, two 
 blacksmith shops, a feed-mill and about fifteen dwellings. They receive 
 a mail on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday by the stage from Hornells- 
 ville to Wallace, going and returning. The hamlet takes its name 
 from William Haskin, an early settler, who subsequently moved to 
 Avoca, where he died.

 Manufactures . 
 
 Spaulding 's Mill at Fremont Center, now conducted by Luther S. 
 Spaulding & Son, was built by Elisha G. Stephens on the site of the old 
 Upson mills. It is exclusively awater-power mill, and has two runs of 
 stone and a buckwheat mill . This firm are doing first-class custom 
 work and in improvements keep abreast with the times. 
 
 Stephens' Saw-Mill and Shoe-Last Manufactory at Fremont Centre, was 
 built by \V. B. Stephens above the Centre in 1877. Ten years later he 
 moved the mill to its present location . It is furnished with a twenty 
 horse-power engine, and its capacity is about eight thousand feet per 
 day. The shoe-last machinery was added in the spring of 1S90 and 
 about one hundred and fifty pairs of lasts are turned out in ten hours. 
 
 /. A. Kestcr 's Planing and Matching-Mill is located at Fremont Cen- 
 tre and is managed by him in connection with his general blacksmith 
 and wagon repair shop. The planing mill was erected by Mr. Kester 
 in the summer of 1890, and he contemplates making material additions 
 — such as wood-turning and scroll -sawing — in the near future. 
 
 Among the industries of the town we would mention the extensive 
 apiaries of W. B. Stephens, who has several hundred swarms of Italian. 
 German, Hoi}- Land and Albino honey-bees, and who also manufactures 
 all kinds of apiarists supplies. Mr. Stephens has had forty years ex- 
 perience in bee culture and does an extensive business, shipping the 
 product of his apiaries to Chicago, Xew York and Philadelphia, besides 
 supplying to a great extent the home market with cap and extracted 
 honey. 
 
 Physicians. — Dr. Ephraim Winnie, son of Jacob G., and Julia (Ham- 
 blin) Winnie, was born in Howard, — now Avoca — October 1, 1835. He 
 was reared on a farm and attended the common schools until sixteen 
 years of age, when he entered Alfred University. He studied medicine 
 with Doctors Henry and Hiram Hess, of this town, and graduated from 
 the Medical College, of Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1857. He located in 
 Avoca, where he practiced until November, i860, when he moved to 
 Haskinville, where he has since practiced. He married September 23, 
 1857, Rebecca Costelo, of Michigan. Two daughters were born to them, 
 namely: Leona M., wife of F. S. Dows, of Hornellsville, and 
 Bersha J., wife of Z. C. Silsbee. Doctor Winnie is a member of the 
 Hornellsville Medical and Surgical Society, and of the Steuben County 
 Medical Society, and was president of the latter organization in 1889. 
 
 Dr. Herbert R. Flint was born in the town of Dansville, April 25, 
 1853. He was reared on a farm, educated in the district school and at 
 Rogersville Union Seminary. Studied medicine with Dr. J. W. Bur- 
 chard, of Fremont Centre, entered the University of Buffalo, graduat-

 ing in 1882. He practiced at Birdsell, Allegany county, three years 
 and then located at Fremont Centre. 
 
 Churches. — The first religious services were held in this town by Rev. 
 Mr. Ford, in 1S14. 
 
 The first meetings of the M. E. Society were held by Rev. David 
 Dunham, in Ityron Harlow's house, in 1828, and in the Harlow school- 
 house on Big Creek, in 1830, by Revs. John Arnold and Levi B. Castle. 
 In 1831 Rev. Cyrus Story formed the first class. The church at Fre- 
 mont Centre has a membership of thirty-five. The value of church pro- 
 perty is $2,500. 
 
 The first meetings of the Wesleyan Methodist society were held by 
 Rev. Stephen D. Trembly, who organized a class in the gulf school - 
 house, in the southeast part of the town, in 1S31. The Haskinville 
 circuit was formed in 1855, by Rev. S. D. Trembly. A church was 
 built at an expense of $i,ooo, and dedicated December 23, 1876. The 
 present membership is about thirty, and the value of church proper ty, 
 including parsonage, $1,600. 
 
 The first meetings of tne Evangelical Church Society were conducted 
 by German missionary preachers from Pennsylvania, in the house of 
 Jacob Conderman, in 1828. A church was erected in i860, which has 
 a membership of about fifteen. Value of property, $1,000. 
 
 The Advent Christian Church. — In 1870 Rev. William A. Fenn, of 
 Rochester, then an advent preacher, came to Fremont in response to an 
 invitation, and pitched a tent on the flat south of the present Advent 
 church, in which he preached daily. A church was built at Fremont, 
 and dedicated October 8, 1874. 
 
 GREENWOOD was formed from Troupsburgh and Canisteo, Janu- 
 ary 24, 1827. The town of West Union was taken off in 1845, 
 and a part of Jasper was annexed in 1848. It is one of the west- 
 ern tier of towns, and is situated south of the centre. It is bounded 
 north by Hartsville, east by Jasper, south by West Union and west by 
 Allegany county. The surface is chiefly a rolling upland. The prin- 
 cipal stream is Bennett's creek, which flows northerly through the east 
 part of the town, in a valley surrounded by hills from four to six hun- 
 dred feet in height. The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam. The pop- 
 ulation in 1890 was 1,306. 
 
 Early Settlement. — In 1820 a road was opened above the settlement 
 made by William S. Thomas, and extended to the salt spring in the 
 present village of Greenwood. A road had been chopped through the 
 valley south to the state line by the land office, but was not cleared 
 at the time of the first settlement ( 1 8 2 1 ) . The next spring Alexander H .

 Stephens in company with Anson Robinson, popularly known as " Rob- 
 inson Crusoe, ' ' commenced the first clearing in the town of Greenwood, 
 about one mile north of the present village, on the R. P. Stephens 
 farm. They worked here during the summer and part of the winter, 
 living in a log cabin and working on their mill, Mrs. John Stephens 
 coming up occasionly to do their cooking. The family did not move 
 into Greenwood until the mill was running. Ezra and John H.Ste- 
 phens were the first to move up the valley, followed soon after by Phin- 
 eas Stephens. After the mill was built settlement along the creek was 
 made very fast. 
 
 Deacon Daniel Manning, from New Hampshire, came in 1823, his 
 family, consisting of his wife and one son, Daniel Manning. Eleazer 
 Woodward, also from New Hampshire, came the same year, and opened 
 a tannery on a small stream to the east, near the mill. Dennis Sanford 
 settled back on the hill towards ' ' Krusen's Corners ' ' in 1824, and about 
 the same time Sebe Norton and Stephen Powell settled in the south- 
 west part of the town on the ridge. Hiram Putnam, John H. Hayt, 
 Joseph and Josephus Batchelder, and Jacob Manning settled along and 
 near the creek. Guy Wardwell lived on the strip of land annexed to 
 Greenwood from Jasper before any other settlement was made in the 
 town. 
 
 In the fall of 1824, Levi Davis, of Dryden, Tompkins county, bought 
 the site of the present village of Greenwood, and settled here. Ira and 
 Randall Pease came soon after, and C. Cobey settled on the Woodbury 
 place. The stream which empties into Bennett's Creek at that point 
 then took the name of Cobey's creek. John J. Holt, from New Hamp- 
 shire, settled across Bennett's creek on the farm now owned by the wi- 
 dow Taylor. On the site of the present school house Hiram Putnam 
 made a settlement, and next above Putnam settled James Henshaw; 
 then came the Ezra Stephens farm, and next, the place of Daniel Ward, 
 who, in company with William Borthwick, of Hornellsville, built a 
 saw-mill here, but subsequently lost the property. Next south of Ward 
 settled Josephus Batchelder, of New Hampshire, and next John Ste- 
 phens, known as " Squire Jack," south of whose place Jacob Manning 
 located, and Benjamin Chamberlain, also from New Hampshire. Next 
 above Chamberlain was the clearing of Hugh Carr, whose wife taught 
 the first school in Greenwood, in a log house on the east side of the 
 road, below the iron bridge near Williamson's mill. The site of this 
 school has been washed away by freshets. Next above Carr's were lots 
 settled by Ezra and Phineas Stephens, and by Uriah F. Stephens. The 
 above named settlers were all here about the year 1825. Col. John 
 Stephens came that year. Enoch Ordway. a patriot of the revolution, 
 settled on the lot where Woodward's mill now stands. On the next lot

 south settled Ezra Lovejoy, son-in-law of Ordway. The next farm, now 
 owned by the Davis estate, was settled by Amos Lewis. Then came the 
 Levi Davis farm. South of this point, settlement was made as follows: 
 Josiah Richardson, Stephen, Lyman, Amos and Jesse Wilmot, on the 
 Pease Saxton and Blair farms. Lyman Wilmot built a grist-mill at 
 Rough and Ready. Eleazer Woodward settled on Riggs creek, which 
 stream took its name from a Mr. Riggs, who settled near its head- waters 
 in the town of Jasper. 
 
 George Updike came from Tompkins county in 1828; Benjamin Ed- 
 wards from Newfield in 1830; William Atkins from Enfield in 1832; 
 John Rogers, from Lansing, settled near the old Catholic church in 
 1832; John J. Ducher settled near Krusen's in 1826; Enos Smith came 
 from Seneca county, in 1828, and settled on the hill west of the village; 
 John Balsby settled in the northwest corner of the town in 1S28; Rich- 
 ard Krusen came from Dryden in 1825, and opened the cross-roads four 
 miles west of Greenwood village where he kept a tavern until the 
 country had become well settled and railroads changed the routes of 
 travel. Acting as a sub-agent for the land-office at Bath, he did much 
 toward attracting a good class of settlers. Hiram Burger, who lived 
 near Greenwood village, came with his father, Ezekiel Burger, from 
 Troupsburgh, where he was born in 18 15. William Burrows was an 
 early settler near the Allegany county line, where he built a saw-mill 
 in 1830; Joshua Goldsmith, a son-in-law of Derrick Krusen,the school- 
 teacher, lived near him. There were many small clearings in that part 
 of the town as early as 1830. 
 
 Early Items. — Before the settlement of this town and while on a hunt- 
 ing tour, Ezekiel Burger, a native of Delaware county, then living in 
 the' town of Troupsburgh, discovered a spring of salt water adjacent to 
 the creek on what is now the Ward farm. This spring was a re- 
 sort for deer and elk, and was well known to the Indians, who watched 
 for them as they came to drink of its waters. The Indians resorted 
 here from a great distance to make salt, bringing with them a kettle 
 borrowed of their white neighbors. Mr. Burger and a Mr. Matthews 
 built a couple of cabins at the spring, one roofed with elm-bark, and the 
 other with what was called a "Stake and ridered roof," that is built in 
 at the top, and the rough-split shingles laid in courses and held in place 
 by stakes or wooden pins. The spring was close to the creek, but a 
 drill had been erected and a well sunk sixty -four feet by hand, when 
 the drill was broken off in the well. Boiling was carried on in kettles 
 until Mr. Davis bought the land, and Mr. Matthew's died, when the en- 
 terprise was abandoned. After the well had been abandoned, for a few 
 davs the settlers would come and pump out the water and boil down a

 sack of salt in Burger's kettles until they were taken away. The well 
 was much frequented, as salt was a scerce article in those days. 
 
 The first mill built in the town was, as we have stated, built by Alex- 
 ander Stephens, in i82i-'22, and contained two run of stone. At 
 the time it was built there were no mills nearerthan the Hornell mill at 
 Hornellsville, and the Wombough mill on the Tuscarora, at Addison. 
 In the fall of 1824, Levi Davis built a log house, and in March, 1825, 
 opened a tavern. In one corner of the room a bar was fenced off in 
 which he sold goods consisting mainlv of tea, snuff, cotton cloth, to- 
 bacco, pork and whiskey — which sold at the distillery for twenty cents 
 a gallon — oats, hay, and indigo for coloring cloth. This was the first 
 tavern and store in the town. Mr. Davis also commenced the manufac- 
 ture of pot and pearl ashes, which he continned for thirty years. The 
 farmers when clearing their land gathered and saved the ashes, which 
 they boiled down in bad weather, selling the black ash at the store. 
 Seven hundred bushels of ashes were required to make a ton of potash, 
 which would be worth from eighty to one hundred dollars. This was a 
 cash commodit}-, the Liverpool market readily absorbing these chemi- 
 cals. A man could make ten dollars a month by gathering his ashes 
 and making black ash. The first post-office in the town was in Mr. 
 Davis' store. The mail was carried on horseback from Hornellsville, 
 through adense wood, by Joshua L. Chapman, then a boy of fifteen, the 
 journey taking him one day each way. This was in i828-'29. In 1826 
 Col. Ira Davenport became Mr. Davis' partner. David Foote and Wil- 
 liam Ferguson who bought two village lots of Redmond Davis, a short 
 distance above the store, opened a coffin and furniture manufactory in 
 1830. The same year Benjamin F. Brundage moved from Bath and 
 erected a carding and cloth-dressing factor}-, in which he did a success- 
 ful business until its destruction by fire in 1 846 , when it was replaced 
 by the present flouring-mill . The first butter sent to market from this 
 town was by James McCormick — " High Jimmy" — who shipped three 
 firkins in the summer of 1835. The first wagon brought into the wes- 
 tern part of the town was by Alvin Mead in 1827. His brothers chop- 
 ped the road ahead for him to drive through. It is said that Daniel 
 McCormick built a grist-mill at Rough and Ready in 1832 or soon after. 
 
 Biographical . — Hon. Alexander H. Stephens was born in Canisteo, 
 September 8, 1S01. He was a son of Col. John and Olive (Franklin) 
 Stephens.* Alexander H. received a good common school education 
 for the days of log school houses. He was married January 20, 1829, 
 to Man- M., daughter of Levi Davis. After his marriage Mr. Stephens 
 began life for himself, clearing the forest, preparing the land for culti-

 vation and carrying on his grist-mill. He cleared the greater part of 
 the one hundred acres given him by his father, and made the first chop- 
 ping in the town of Greenwood. He also erected the first framed house 
 built in the town. For seven years he represented his town in the 
 board of supervisors, and in 184s represented his assembly district in 
 the legislature of the state. He was a man of sterling qualities, and en- 
 dowed with the characteristics of perseverance, independence of thought 
 and action, promptness in all business relations, prudence and good 
 judgement. Mrs. Stephens died September 9, 1S66, and Mr. Stephens 
 April 4, 1879. 
 
 Levi Davis was born in Oxford, Mass., January 8, 17S2. He was a 
 lineal descendant in the sixth generation from an ancestor who emigrat- 
 ed from Wales. He married Mary Spurr, a native of Canton, Mass., 
 born August 11, 1782. While a resident of Massachusetts he carried on 
 farming in Charlestown. In 18 15, the family removed to Columbus, 
 Chenango county, and remained one year, thence to Dryden, Tompkins 
 county, where they resided until 1825, when they came to Greenwood 
 — then Troupsburgh — and built a log house on the present site of the 
 Ward Hotel. The incidents of a pioneer life — its hardships and priva- 
 tions — were all met by this family. His first purchase was one hun- 
 dred and forty-four acres, to which he made additions of several hun- 
 dred acres. He was an industrious, thorough-going business man, and 
 possessed characteristic integrity in all his business relations. He was 
 interested in the improvements of the town, and in all local matters." 
 He also, from the time of his settlement, for many 3 r ears kept a public 
 house, in the log house first built by him, and about 1840 built the 
 present Ward hotel as it now is, except the third story. He was also 
 engaged in the lumber business. Mr. Davis was the first supervisor of 
 the town of Greenwood, and also its first postmaster. In the latter 
 office he continued for some twenty- five years following the establishment 
 of the office. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Davis were Redmond 
 S. ; George, who died at the age of four years ; Mary, (Mrs. Alexan- 
 H. Stevens) ; Levi, and John. Mrs. Davis died July 9, 1854, and Mr. 
 Davis July 9, 1863. 
 
 Redmond S. Davis married Jane Porter, who was born in Newport, 
 Herkimer county, N. Y., June 17, 1808. Nathaniel Porter, father of 
 Mrs. Davis, came to Greenwood from Herkimer county in 1827. Mr. 
 Davis was a member of the legislature in 1854. He died December 6, 
 1886. 
 
 John Davis came of New England ancestry. He was a descendant 
 of Samuel Davis, who settled in Roxbury, Mass., as early as 1642. His 
 grandfather, Capt. Levi Davis, of Oxford, Mass., was one of the gallant 
 band of patriots who hastened to Lexington on the memorable 19th of 
 
332 TOWN OF GREENWOOD. 
 
 of April, 1775, in response to the midnight alarm spread by Paul Re- 
 vere, and served to the closed of the revolutionary struggle as a captain 
 in the colonial army. 
 
 His father, Levi Davis, was bom at Oxford, Mass., January 8, 1782, 
 and was married to Mary Spurr, of Canton, Mass., December 1, 1805. 
 The children of this union who grew to man's and woman's estate were 
 Redmond S., Mary M.— who married Alexender H. Stephens — and 
 John, the youngest, who was born at Dryden, Tompkins count}', N.Y., 
 October 10, 1824, to which place his parents had moved in 1816. 
 
 In 1825 his father moved with his family into what was[then wilder- 
 ness, now comprising the village of Greenwood. 
 
 Here he took up — as an entry on wild land was then called — lot 
 No. 116, and erected a log building which served the general purpose 
 of farm house, hotel and store, and in this primitive building three years 
 later was held the first town election of the town of Greenwood, at 
 which Levi Davis was elected supervisor. 
 
 Here the youthful John grew to manhood, enduring in his earlier 
 years the privations and hardships of pioneer life, but with characteris- 
 tic Yankee energy, the family met and overcame these, and Davises', 
 as the settlement was then called, began earl}-, in local history, to 
 show evidence of prosperity and thrift. 
 
 Disciplined in this school of stern reality, each victory served to give 
 additional strength of character that helped to make Mr. Davis, in after 
 years, a man of wide influence. He acquired his education attending 
 school at Dryden, and afterwards at Alfred Academy. 
 
 At the age of twenty -one he became a partner in the firm of Levi Davis & 
 Sons, which afterwards took the firm name of John Davis & Co., con- 
 tinuing from 1846 until 1853, when Levi Davis retired, and the busi- 
 ness was conducted in the name of Davis & Bros., the partners being 
 John Davis, Redmond S. Davis and Alexander H. Stephens, who re- 
 mained together in business until i860, when John Davis became sole 
 owner. 
 
 In 1871 he formed a partnership with William G. Porter, the new 
 firm taking the name of J. Davis & Co. This partnership lasted until 
 1877. 
 
 In 1882 his son, Levi S. Davis engaged in business with him which 
 continued until Mr. Davis' death, on October 25, 1883. In addition to 
 his mercantile interests in Greenwood he was extensively engaged in 
 lumbering in different towns about his home and largely interested in 
 lumbering and in timber lands in Michigan .' 
 
 With his son Levi S., he was engaged in the sale of coal, grain, hay 
 etc., at Bradford, Pa. 
 
 His various enterprises were all conducted on strict business princi-

 pies, and no man in his county had a better reputation for business ca- 
 pacity or sterling integrity than he. In politics, Mr. Davis was a Dem- 
 ocrat, and although his party represented a minority of the voters of 
 his town, yet he was for eleven terms elected supervisor of Greenwood, 
 and in 1870 he was elected member of assembly on the Democratic 
 ticket in his district, which was strongly Republican at the time. 
 
 For many years prior to his death he was a member of the Universal - 
 ist church, and he supplemented his religious faith with a charitable 
 life. No worthy person or object ever appealed to him in vain for aid, 
 and many prosperous and well-to-do people to-day testify how John Davis 
 in disinterested friendship, carried them over the tide of adversity. He 
 carefully considered before action, but when he put his hand to the 
 plow he seldom turned back. He was strong in his prejudices and de- 
 spised sham and hypocrisy. On June n, 1855, he married Laura A. 
 Osborn, a most worthy lady, who died July 26, 1889. Their children 
 are Levi S., Mary A. (wife of G. M. Webster), Fred O., Emily and 
 Gertrude (the two last named deceased). 
 
 In his home Mr. Davis was surrounded with everything to make it 
 attractive. There he dispensed a hospitality that was extended to all. 
 His integrity and kindness will remain a pleasant memory with all who 
 knew him.

 a part of which he purchased from his brother, Andrew R., and re- 
 mained on the same farm during the remainder of his life. He made 
 many improvements on the farm, erected substantial buildings and was

 Canisteo in this county. He graduated in medicine at the University 
 of the City of New York, in 188 1. He began practice in Canisteo the 
 same }-ear. Three years later he engaged in the drug business in El- 
 mira, remaining three years, and spent one year in the same business 
 in Hornellsville. In October, 1888 he resumed the practice of medi- 
 cine, locating in Greenwood.

 tian), school, three general stores, two hardware stores, two groceries, 
 one drug store, one furniture and undertaking establishment, two ho- 
 tels, four blacksmith shops, five wagon shops, harness shop, and about 
 one hundred dwellings. A mail is received daily by stage from Can- 
 isteo. 
 
 Rough and Ready. — A post-office was established here about the 
 time that Zachariah Taylor was running for the office of president, hence 
 the name. The office has been discontinned some years. It is a small 
 hamlet nearly on the line of Greenwood and West Union.

 Roman Catholic church in the southwestern part of the town Of its 
 organization and early history an account is given in the church history 
 of West Union. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church. — Soon after Alvin Mead arrived herein 
 1827, Rev. James Hemingway came to Greenwood accompanied by 
 another preacher, and remained a week, preaching in Mr. Mead's house.

 at Krusen's corners. A class was formed in 1827, under the leader- 
 ship of Enos Mead. In 1851, a re-organization was effected under the

 of the Universalist denomination in the old stone school-house. These 
 early preachers were Revs. O. B. Clark, R. M. Cheney, and Mr. Asa 
 Upson. An organization was effected consisting of twelve members, in 
 1 85 1. A church was immediately built in Greenwood village, and 
 dedicated by Rev. E- Francis, in 1852. 
 
 First Christian Church. — Rev. Jokn H. Cheesman became a resident 
 of Greenwood village in 1871, it being the central point in his field of 
 labor. He began meetings in the school -house and continued to preach 
 as occasion permitted until the winter of iS75-'76, when a societ\- was 
 organized on February 19, 1876, with seventeen members. A church 
 building was completed in 1879. 
 
 Wcslcyan Methodist Church. — A Wesleyan Methodist class was formed 
 in that part of the town of Greenwood, known as "Dauby Hill," in 
 i860. Alvah Richards, for years a licensed preacher, was largely 
 instrumental in effecting an organization. The class was formed under 
 the preaching of Rev. Daniel Fenton. This class has since been con- 
 solidated with the charge at Jasper. 
 
 Manufactures. 
 
 Lucien Brundage's Grist and Sais-Mill, located north of the village of 
 Greenwood, was originally built by Col. John Stephens about 1S25. It 
 first stood upon the creek nearly in rear of the present mill at the foot of 
 the hill. It was moved to its present site previous to 1S40. It has 
 three runs of stone, a twenty -five horse-power engine and a capacity for 
 sawing 10,000 feet a day. 
 
 Greenwood Mills, built by Benjamin Brundage about 1845, are now 
 owned by G. D. Woodward. They contain three runs of stone and a 
 buckwheat mill. It is run by steam power, as is also the saw-mill con- 
 nected with it. 
 
 R. P Stephen's Saw- Mill, located on what is known as the Rock Creek 
 road, was built by Mr. Stephens in the spring of 1881 . It has a sixteen 
 horse-power engine, twenty horse-power boiler and a capacity for saw- 
 ing 10,000 feet per day. It gives employment to seven men. 
 
 Greenwood Foundry, Machine Shops and Planing-Mill. This business 
 was established by Lorenzo Henderson in 1884. The following year 
 G. M. Woodward became a partner, and in 1886 sole proprietor. The 
 plant was destro3'ed by fire and rebuilt by Byron Ruger, the present 
 proprietor. All kinds of machine work are done here, and the repair- 
 ing of farmers' implements, threshers, etc. A specialty is made of 
 
TOWN OF HARTSVILLE. 339 
 
 planing and matching, and also the manufacture of planers, land rol- 
 lers, etc. 
 
 Sloaim's Mill was built by Slocum and Son in 1S86. It is located on 
 Bennett's Creek at Greenwood village. It has two runs of stone; presses 
 for cider, one shingle machine and turns out several thousand cheese 
 boxes yearly. 
 
 HARTSVILLE is located on the west border of the county, south of 
 the centre, and is bounded north by Hornellsville, east b} r Can- 
 isteo, south by Greenwood and west by Allegany county. This 
 town was formed from Hornellsville, February 7, 1844. The valley of 
 Bennett's creek extends along the east border, and Purdy creek flows 
 east through the north part. The steep hillsides bordering these streams 
 are from four to six hundred feet high. 
 
 This town was first settled by Benjamin Brookins in 1809. Mr. 
 Brookins, however, remained but one year, when Joseph Purdy, a 
 native of Ireland, moved into the partially completed cabin erected by 
 Brookins which was in the northwest corner of the present town. It is 
 claimed by some that "he was the sole occupant of the town until 1819, 
 when Jesse Palmeter, a native of Madison county, Perry Potter and his 
 brother Andrew, and William D. Burdick, who was a boy of seventeen 
 and lived with Mr. Potter, settled on the ridge near the head of Crosby 
 creek." By others it is claimed that a Mr. Blake settled in the town 
 in 18 15; Thomas Williams, Joshua Davis, and men by the name of Sat- 
 terlee and Neff, settled here in 18 18. They also name Perry Potter and 
 William D. Burdick as settlers in 1819. That Burdick's name is men- 
 tioned as "a settler" is owing, doubtless, to the fact that he was 
 ' 'booked" — that is, had reserved for him on the books of the land-office 
 for his purchase, when of age — fifty acres, but he soon after traded his 
 pospective title to his brother, who lived over the line in Allegany county, 
 for an old watch. 
 
 In the summer of 1822, Daniel P. Carpenter came from Orange 
 county, and settled on the Vicker's place, half a mile below Hartsville 
 Centre, moving into a log house that had been built in a woods so dense

 on the Daniel Tucker farm. He married Rebecca Kress, and of his 
 children living here is Edmund Powell. 
 
 In 1823, William Hudson and John Granger located below Mr. Car- 
 penter on the creek. Robert G. Martin settled in the town the same 
 year. Mr. Hudson evidently did not remain here long, for we find 
 that Joseph Thompson settled in 1824 on the place abandoned by Mr.

 Hudson. The same year, Joseph Hood of Yates county finished a log 
 house which had been partly built and abandoned on the site of the 
 present village near the bridge.

 ery county, was of Scotch descent, her ancesters having emigrated to 
 this county before the revolution. Casper Van Buskirk came from 
 Montgomery county, located first in Seneca county, subsequently in

 Henry Acker was one of the earliest and most prominent among the 
 settlers of the present town of Hartsville. In company with William 
 Lindsey and Henry Hart, for whom the town was named, he came from

 creek, now owned by two of his grandsons, Hon. Milo M. and Fran- 
 cis M. Acker. Soon after settling here he married Sallie Jamison, by 
 whom he had two sons, Hugh J. and John. Later in life he married a 
 second wife, Harriet Whiting. Henry Acker was of pronounced Dutch 
 ancestry, and inherited their sturdy industry and rectitude. He was 
 one of the founders of the Presbyterian church and society in Canisteo, 
 and at his death, about 1862, was missed as a man and a neighbor, in 
 whom absolute reliance was never misplaced.

 Early Items. — The valley of Purdy creek was a famous hunting ground 
 prior to its settlement. Deer would gather here in great numbers to 
 feed upon the mosses which clung to the trees in the shad}' recesses of 
 the forest. On the flat near the Centre, man}- Indian relics have been 
 turned up by the plow, such as pestles, the fragments of mortars and 
 other implements, while the first settlers found many bent poles which 
 had been used by the Indians in their camps. There were several In- 
 dian corn fields along Purdy creek, and a large apple tree which had. 
 been planted by the Indians, stood for some years below the Purdy place.. 
 While Mr. Purdy lived in the Brookihs house, a frightened deer chased 
 by wolves, sought refuge in the house, and was killed by the famih-. Atthe 
 time, the\' were so distressed for the want of provisions that Mrs. Purdy, 
 who was a pious woman, considered it a special gift of Providence. The 
 first wedding in the town was that of Robert G . Martin to Mary A . Glea- 
 son, a member of Mr. Powell's family, in December, 1823. It was at- 
 tended by the entire population of the valley. The hour for the cere- 
 mony was at one o'clock, after which a dinner of baked beans and sau- 
 sage was partaken of, and a jovial time was had until it was time to wade 
 back home through the deep snow to ''do the chores.'' It was not 
 deemed safe to leave a house long without some one to guard it, lestthe 
 wooden chimney should take fire, which they often did. Sarah Ann. 
 daughter of DanielP. Carpenter, who was born in January, 1823, was 
 the first white child bom in the town. The first death was that of Char- 
 lotte, daughter of Ebenezer Martin, in 1823. A log school-house was 
 built on the land of Mr. Carpenter in 1825, and Z. A. Purdy, daughter 
 of Joseph Purdy, was the first teacher. As the country began to be set- 
 tled Mr. Carpenter ventured to bring some goods and opened the first

 store in this town at his residence. He was one of the most prominent 
 men of the town, and did much for its advancement. He became inter- 
 ested in the land office, and in connection with his other business, con- 
 ducted an ashery- Robert G. Martin built a mill on the site of the 
 R. F. Allison mill in 1832. William xYllison built another soon after, 
 Mr. Whiting built one two miles above, Asher and Whiting between, 
 and near the bridge a stave and shingle-mill was built. 
 
 In 1 S55 the stock of timber had diminished to such an extent that 
 business at the mills began very materially to decrease. R. F. Allison 
 put up the first steam-power mill in the town. 
 
 Charles N. Hart, after whom the town is named, was a prominent 
 business man, and is said to have been very charitable to the poor who 
 settled about him. Beside Mr. Hart, the leading business men were 
 James Clawson, Benjamin S. and John Van Buskirk, and William Alli- 
 son. Joseph Henry opened the Centre House, in Hartsville, in 1851. 
 The business centre was formerly a mile above the present village, and 
 was changed to the present locality in 1853. The post-office was first 
 located in the house of Charles X. Hart, between the Centre and Can- 
 isteo. The first town-meeting of the town of Hartsville was held on 
 the first Tuesday in March, 1844. 
 
 Hartsville Centre ( Purdy Creek P. O.) is located on Purdy creek 
 a little northwest of the geographical centre of the town. It contains 
 one church (M. E.), a school, two general stores, a wagon shop, black- 
 smith shop and about twenty-five dwellings. A tri- weekly mail from 
 Canisteo is received here by private conve\-ance. There are no stage 
 accomodations. The church at Purdy creek has about one hundred 
 members, and the church property is valued at $3,000. 
 
 Cold Spring Cheese Factory was established by Thomas & Allen about 
 1870. It is located in this town near to the line of Hornellsville, con- 
 venient to farmers of both towns. It is furnished with the most modern 
 appliances known to cheese making and is under the able supervision 
 of Zepheniah Hall whose success at cheese-making is unsurpassed. Mr. 
 Hall is proprietor of the factory. 
 
 Call Hill Cheese Factory was built by William Tuller in 1878. It is 
 now owned and run by David E. Call. It is furnished with a six horse- 
 power engine, and can manufacture into cheese, the milk of about four 
 hundred cows. 
 
 Purdy Creek Cheese Factory about a mile east of the Centre, was built by 
 Omer Bennett, the present owner, in 1883. Its patronage represents 
 about one hundred and fifty cows. 
 
 Population, according to the census of 1890, was 803. 
 
344 TOWN OF HORNBY. 
 
 HORNBY was formed from the old town of Painted Post, — now 
 Corning — January 27, 1826. The town of Campbell was taken 
 off in 1 83 1, and a portion was annexed to Orange, now in 
 Schuyler county, April n, 1842. It lies near the centre of the 
 east border of the county, bounded north by Schuyler count5 r , east by 
 a portion of Schuyler and Chemung counties, south by Corning and 
 west by Campbell The town was named in honor of John Hornby an 
 eminent English land holder, who with other English capitalists pur- 
 chased that tract since known as the ' ' Pulteney estate. ' ' The surface of 
 the town is high and rolling, intersected by deep, narrow valleys, chief- 
 ly formed by Dry Run, and Post and Bordin creeks. The first of these 
 streams flows through the northwest part of the town, and joining 
 Meads creek in Campbell , empties into the Conhocton in the township of 
 Envin. Post and Borden creeks empty into the Chemung river. The 
 soil is of superior quality, being of a claye)" and shaly loam. 
 
 The population of this town in 1890, was 1,011. The first set- 
 tlers in the town were Asa and Uriah Nash, from Otsego county, 
 who settled in the north part of the town, known as " Nash settle- 
 ment," in 1814. Others soon followed. In 1815, Edward Stubbs, 
 Ezra Shaw, Jesse Underwood, Samuel Adams, Jesse Pratt and John 
 Robbins located here. James S. Gardner, Chester Kn owl ton and Aden 
 Palmer settled in the " Palmer settlement "in 18 16. Among others 
 who came about this time were Hiram and Benjamin Gardner, John 
 St. John, Isaac Goodell, Aaron Harwood, John Sayer, and Jacob Good- 
 sell with his two sons, Daniel \V. and Henry. Some years later, settle- 
 ments were made in the east part of the town , The first made here was 
 on the Thomas Oldfield farm by a Mr. Hodge. After him came Mar- 
 tin Lane, Samuel Lilly, William W. Cole and Benjamin Lewis, Jr. 
 Mr. Lilly opened his claim and cleared with his own hands over one 
 hundred acres. The opening and improvement of the roads was a work 
 so imperative, that the settlers early bent their energies to accomplish 
 it. Under the administration of Henry Gardner and James W. Holmes 
 the work was vigorously pushed. Roads were surveyed from the Elijah 
 Robbins place three miles around West Hill and to various other points 
 in the town. The land office allowed Samuel Lilly one dollar a rod for 
 opening a road, to be applied on his account with the office. He made 
 one hundred and eighty rods the first year, and eighty-nine the next. 
 This road was laid along the valley in the east part of the town, below 
 high -water mark, consequently it became necessary to move it to the 
 foot of the hill. Before this road was opened it required two days to 
 make the journey to Corning.

 CHURCHES. 
 
 The Baptist Church of Hornby. — We quote the following from the 
 "Life of Rev. Thomas Sheardown": 
 
 "There were on Nash Hill, in Hornby, a few brethren and sisters 
 who had once been organized as a church, under the missionary labors 
 of Elder T. B. Bebee; but they had no organization or visibility when 
 I saw them. They joined the Catlin church, consequent! y those who 
 were baptized were baptized into the Catlin church. All this time I 
 was gathering more or less at the rallying point on Mead's creek. In 
 time it was thought best for the brethren and sisters on the hill to join 
 the few on the creek. This gave them strength enough to be recog- 
 nized as a church. * * * * The Hornby church had a common 
 centre on the upland, some miles off called 'Robbins' Hill.' In pass- 
 ing to and fro over the country where the church is now located, I used 
 to preach in a place called 'Cobb's barn.' They were mostly Pres- 
 byterian people who cared for me — warm hearted, not troubled a great 
 deal with sectarianism — but in those days, any individual who brought 
 to them the Bread of Life was cordially received. I was invited, when 
 I passed through that way, to make it my home at a Mr. Pierce's, and a 
 home indeed it was for the traveling pilgrim. * * * The time ap- 
 peared to have arrived when Robbins' Hill, the favorite centre of the 
 old church, was no longer adapted to meet the necessities of the people. 
 * * * In the arrangement that was to be made in reference to houses 
 of worship, it was agreed to change the location of the old church to a 
 place called Hornby Forks," 
 
 Rev. Mr. Stone who moved from Campbell to Hornby — between 1824 
 and 1830, held meetings at both places. In 1840 the society entered 
 their new church at Hornby Forks.

 er's under the preaching of Rev. James Hall, in 1828. Sylvester 
 Brooks was class-leader until 1838, and was succeeded by Levi Coy. A 
 division of sentiment occuring, a large number went over to the Wes- 
 leyan organization in 1S43. About 1863 the class was reorganized 
 under the leadership of Rev.A.H. Shurtliff, with A. P. McCabe as class- 
 leader. Meetings were then held in the Baptist church, and subse- 
 quently in the Presbyterian church. 
 
 The Wesleyan Methodist Church was organized in 1843. Meetings 
 were first held in the Knowlton school house, then at Hornby Forks 
 until 1S51 when it occupied the Presbyterian church even' alternate 
 Sunday-. Later they left the church and held services in school -houses. 
 On March 4, 1S77, the}' dedicated the church at shad}- grove on 
 Cutler creek. 
 
 HORNELLSVILLE* township is situated near the centre of the 
 western boundary of the county and is bounded on the north by 
 Dansville and Fremont, on the east by Howard and Canisteo, on 
 the south by Hartsville, and on the west by Allegany county. 
 
 The original purchase of Hornellsville, which was formerly a part of 
 Canisteo, was, no doubt, made upon the recommendations and report 
 of Richard Crosby, Solomon Bennett, Capt. John Jamison and Uriah 
 Stephens, who explored this section in 17S8. In 1789 Solomon Ben- 
 nett and Elisha Brown, who, acting for a party consisting of — with the 
 above named — James Hadley, John Jamison, Arthur Erwin, Uriah Ste- 
 phens Jr., Christian Kress, Joel Thomas, John Stephens, William Ben- 
 nett, Uriah Stephens Sr., and William Wyncoop , went to Canandaigua 
 and purchased of Oliver Phelps the township No. 3, 6th Range (Harts- 
 ville), and township No. 3, 5th Range (Canisteo). The purchase being 
 approved by the company, Solomon Bennett, Arthur Erwin and Joel 
 Thomas were delegated to go to Canandaigua and consummate the pur- 
 chase. Uriah Stephens being, at the request of Phelps, made a party 
 to the deeds and afterwards signing the notes given in consideration of 
 the money. It was subsequently discovered that the land purchased 
 by the party did not cover the Canisteo flats as was supposed, but that 
 township No. 3, 5th Range (Canisteo), and township No. 4, 6th Range

 (Hornellsville), covered the desired section. Accordingly, Erwin, Ben- 
 nett, Thomas and Stephens went to Canandaigua in September, 1790, 
 to get a deed for this township and deliver up the former one. To this 
 Phelps agreed provided they would consent to strike one-half mile by 
 six from each township, thus making them five and a half by six miles. 
 This proposition was evidently satisfactory to the delegation, but inas- 
 much as considerable improvement had been made on township No. 3, 
 5th Range (Canisteo), the matter was compromised by taking one mile 
 in width from No. 4 of the 6th Range (Hornellsville), so as to have 
 township No. 3 (Canisteo), six miles square and township No. 4 (Hor- 
 nellsville), five miles by six. A deed was therefore executed by Phelps 
 September 17, 1790, to Erwin, Bennett, Thomas and Stephens for two 
 entire townships, and they, on the same da}', reconveyed to him one 
 mile by six of No. 4, 6th Range (Hornellsville). 
 
 First Settlement. — The first settlement in this town, known as Upper 
 Canisteo, was made as early as 1790, and not in 1793 as some writers 
 have it. Of the early settlers there is no history extant of greater value 
 and reliability than the memories of Deacon Mowry Thacher as em- 
 bodied in a series of letters published several years ago in the ' ' Hor- 
 nellsville Times. ' ' It was a happy thought that prompted the writing 
 of his recollections of the early days, thus making valuable historical 
 facts attainable which otherwise must have been forever lost to posterity. 
 It is mainly on his very complete accounts of early events that the wri- 
 ter of the earlj' history of Hornellsville must rely. 
 
 Mr. Thacher was born in Gloucester, R. I., June 15, 1802, and came 
 into this town at the age of eight years with his father, Nathaniel 
 Thacher, from Troupsburgh, where they had settled in 1808. 
 
 The Thachers came into Hornellsville from Troupsburgh through an 
 unbroken forest of eighteen miles which terminated in a little clearing 
 which surrounded the famous tavern of Col. William Stephens, which 
 stood near Col. Bill's Creek on the ground now occupied by the resi- 
 dence of the late Thomas Hallett about one mile east of Canisteo village. 
 It was at this old hostelry a few years later that the early members of 
 Evening Star Lodge, No. 44, of Canisteo — now of Hornellsville — some- 
 times held their secret meetings during the height of the great anti- 
 masonic excitement which began in 1827, and practically ended in 1835. 
 About twenty years ago this house was burned. 
 
 Mr. Thacher in describing the line of his journey toward Hornells- 
 ville, says that near Col. William Stephens' was the double log house 
 of Captain Jamison, the grand-father of J. S. Jamison, M. D., of this 
 city. Captain Jamison was a neighbor of John Stephens whose landed 
 possessions extended from hill to hill, embracing a large part of the 
 beautiful rich Canisteo flats. The pre-historic Indian apple tree of which

 much has been written was upon his land. Tradition does not seem to 
 have preserved the records of its origin, that it was a full grown tree, 
 bearing somewhat inferior fruit when first seen by white men is certain, 
 however. It was cut down seven or eight years ago, at which time it 
 was lifeless. 
 
 Xext was the home of Nicholas Doughty, a Dutch blacksmith. Of 
 the large family he reared, none are now living in this section, save 
 three grandchildren, viz : Samuel, Mrs. Delany and Miss Doughty, 
 who are still living at Canisteo. 
 
 Abraham and Henry Minier were the next in the line of neighbors 
 and occupied the farm later known as the Dr. Hale farm, and at the pre- 
 sent time in possession of J. D. Bowditch. 
 
 On the opposite side of the river, near the site of the Canisteo depot, 
 Uriah Upson lived. He was the father of a large family of whom none 
 remain. 
 
 Then came William Mxilhollen, known as "Uncle Billy," the father 
 of Colonel Samuel, Precilla, and the later day " Uncle Billy." The 
 former of whom died in Canisteo January i, 1879, the latter in Decorah, 
 Iowa, in 1872, while the daughter is still living unmarried at Canisteo. 
 The farm settled upon by the elder Mulhollen which was a magnificent 
 estate, and extended across the valley to the tops of the hills on either 
 side, was until a few years ago still in the hands of the descendents of 
 the Mulhollen brothers. 
 
 The place which is at this time known as the Magee farm was the 
 next. This farm at the time of which Mr. Thacher writes comprised 
 one thousand six hundred acres and was owned by Col. Thomas Mc- 
 Burney, a bachelor of about forty years, who was evidently a gentleman 
 of wealth, culture and ability. Even yet the buildings and the arange- 
 ment of the grounds show evidence of his taste. It was upon his estate 
 the noted Bob. Barr was born a slave in 1809, the certificate of whose 
 birth may be seen among the early records of Canisteo. Barr was 
 thought by some to have been in some way implicated in the mysterious 
 disappearance in the winter of 1852-53 of one Weatherby from Canisteo. 
 Weatherby was largely interested in the lumbering business, and on the 
 night preceeding his disappearance had been gambling. Barr was 
 drowned when at Chapin's Mills near Adrian, Sunday, February 6, 
 1853, presumably by being knocked into the river from a raft which he 
 was assisting in steering by the oar having become fastened in a drift 
 of flood-wood. Assistance was offered him by a man who stood on the 
 bank, but it was refused by Barr who undoubtedly thinking he could 
 reach the raft in safety, made the attempt to return and was drowned. 
 
 Mr. McBurney married a Mrs. Erwin of Dansville with whom he 
 lived many years, but left no children to inherit his fine estate. Upon

 the organization of the first Presbyterian chuch in Hornellsville he be- 
 came an active member and was a generous promoter of all good works 
 in connection with the society, aiding liberally in the erection of the 
 first church edifice. 
 
 Then came the farm which was occupied by Richard Crosby, and later 
 owned by Alanson Stephens, and by Philip Van Scoter. On this farm, 
 at the present site of the "Mercy Hospital." Benjamin Crosby, Hor- 
 nellsville's first settler, made the first clearing in the present limit of 
 the town. 
 
 Even in 1810 Mr. Crosb}- was an old man when Mr. Thacher first 
 knew him, and he did not longremain to help subdue the forests. He was 
 the father of five children; two sons Reuben and Richard: and three 
 daughters Hannah, Rachel and Polley. Reuben lived on the bank of 
 the Canacadea creek near where E. H. Hough at present lives. Rich- 
 ard lived on the river below Canisteo where he owned a good farm. The 
 daughter Hannah known as "Aunt Neil" was the last to die. Rachel 
 married Daniel Upson and was the mother of a large family. Polley 
 married Elias Stephens, a brother-in-law of Judge Hornell and lived in 
 a hewn log house near the crossing where the railroad shop now stands. 
 Their family consisted of two sons and five daughters. Erastus Step- 
 hens who died in 1877 and Mrs. Maria Holmes who died in 1S86 were 
 the last survivers in this vicinity. Deacon Thacher in his "reminiscen- 
 ces," previously referred to, pa3 r s the following tribute to Mrs. Xeil: 
 
 "This most estimable lad}- lived with her father and mother when I 
 first knew her, but she owned a house and fifty acres of land, the gift of 
 her father. The house stood a few rods east of Canisteo street and 
 nearly opposite the Franklin House, which stood at Canisteo street cros- 
 sing. It was thickly wooded between the house and the road though 
 a little improved, and a small orchard stood farther back. Here she 
 lived as I have been told, for many months, en tirely alone, with no 
 neighbors nearer than the settlement at ' Lower Canisteo , ' a distance of 
 six or seven miles. She was a model pioneer heroine. In the midst of 
 a dense forest, the hoot of the owl, the howl of the wolf and the pan- 
 ther's cry, were familiar sounds by night, and the timid deer almost a 
 constant visitor by day. Here she held this frontier outpost for months 
 entirely alone. Her husband and her brother Reuben's wife were bur- 
 ied on the same day, the first occurrence of the kind, ("the interment of 
 two persons on the same day) in this region . She lived to be nearly 
 one hundred years old, and died as she had lived, with the respect of all 
 who knew her. She was a worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal 
 church of Hornellsville. ' ' 
 
 We said that Richard Crosby lived near the creek. His nearest neigh- 
 bor was Oliver Harding, who lived not far from the river, on what is now 
 Main street, or "the turnpike " as it was then designated. Woods then 
 filled the spaces between the homes of the neighbors and friends. Mr. 
 Harding was a veteran of the war of 1776, and had often seen and fought

 under General Washington, for whom he had the greatest admiration. 
 Anything like an indignity to the memory of his old commander would 
 arouse his deepest indignation. He was the father of six sons and two 
 daughters all of whom are now dead save one son. James, the eldest, 
 but one, was eighty years of age at the time of his death and was the 
 father of Morrison Harding of Fremont, and Mrs. Erastus Grover of this 
 city. Abram Lewis was the half-brother of James Harding, and was 
 the father of Mrs. Matthew Stephens. 
 
 Judge George Hornell, after whom the town was named, and whose 
 name is the most conspicuous one in the early history of Hornellsville, 
 was the next neighbor. He was the son of Rev. Nicholas Hor- 
 nell who was a native of Sweden, and during a religious rebellion there 
 sought refuge from persecution in America, settling near York, Pa. 
 George Hornell married Martha Stephens, daughter of Uriah Stephens, 
 at Elmira, or Xewtown, as it was then called, and they " spread their 
 tent in the wilderness" in 1794, or as his grand-daughter claims, in 
 1792. 
 
 Mr. Hornell was one of those spirits who seem to be raised up to sup- 
 ply the exigencies of momentous events and far-reaching influences. He 
 was a man of good education in those days, rare good judgment, liberal 
 mind and generous heart, and in short a representative pioneer. He 
 lived in the historic "red house" which was built in 1S06, and on 
 what is now Washington street, near the intersection of Thacher street. 
 It was a large framed building and for years afforded the accommoda- 
 tions of a tavern to the traveling public. He purchased two thousand 
 or three thousand acres of land, erected a grist-mill and saw-mill on the 
 ground now occupied by the flouring mills of T. J. O. Thacher. The 
 grist-mill was the first one to be erected west of Elmira after the de- 
 struction of the Bennett mill at Canisteo, and was gladly welcomed by 
 the early settlers, as previous to its erection the only means by which they 
 could get their grain ground was by floating it down the Canisteo river 
 in canoes, and returning by the laborious process of poling and pad- 
 dling, which required several days to perform a round trip. Various 
 stories are related, illustrating the generous nature and kindness of 
 heart, and the partiality of Judge Hornell toward his poor neighbors. 
 It is said that at one time during a great scarcity of grain, when his 
 garners contained nearly all there was in this region, a man from a dis- 
 tance applied to the Judge for seed grain, and when questioned as to 
 his ability to pay, considering it to imply a doubt as to his business 
 standing, he indignantly replied that he had abundant means. The 
 Judge is said to have replied: "Then take your money and go else- 
 where and buy; what I have I must keep for poor men who can't go 
 away after it." Judge Hornell 's relations with the Indians were such 
 
356 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 as to always command their respect. He was chosen one of the asso- 
 ciate judges of this count}', and the first postmaster of this town. In 
 1808 he was elected a member of the legislature, where he served the 
 commonwealth and his constituency with credit. He was called to fill 
 many important trusts in the gift of his fellow citizens, and ever filled 
 them with honor and fidelity. Judge Hornell, after a residence here of 
 nineteen years, was the first victim of a fever epidemic, and died in 
 1 813. His widow survived him nearly thirty years. Placed over their 
 honored remains by the hand of a daughter is a plain white slab, which 
 shows the dissolving marks of time and bears the inscription, " They 
 spread their tents in the wilderness, 1794, and built them a vineyard, 
 bvit the Master called them home ere they gathered the fruit." 
 
 Unfortunately, the annals of Judge Hornell's family are rather ob- 
 scure, and little comes down to us in regard to his children. We un- 
 derstand, however, that there were four sons and six daughters. Of 
 the sons, only one, George, Jr., who became a minister and a mission- 
 ary among the Indians, lived to rear a family. One died in youth: an- 
 other, Vincent, died upon reaching manhood, and William D. was 
 drowned while attending Williams College. George Hornell, Jr., was 
 the father of three sons and two daughters. Two of the sons died short- 
 ly after being ordained for the ministry, and the third, a skilled music- 
 ian, died while on a concert tour in Missouri. The two daughters are 
 still living, one (Lydia), being the wife of John C. Clark; the other 
 (Mary) being the wife of Dr. Albert Hart, of Cleveland, O. There is 
 no one now living, so far as is known, to perpetuate the name of Hor- 
 nell. 
 
 Deacon Thacher 's father, Nathaniel Thacher , came to Hornellsville in 
 1 8 1 o and first settled where the Terry mill now stands . Two years later he 
 moved to the place now known as the Henry Hart farm, where he re- 
 sided ten years, when he moved into the village where he spent his last 
 days. He died in Florence, Ala., in 1825, leaving a widow, four sons 
 and two daughters. Otis Thacher was a brother of Deacon Mowry 
 Thacher. He died in March, 1868. He was a citizen of prominence, 
 and one to whom any trust could be confided with the assurance that it 
 would be redeemed with zeal and fidelity. He held military commis- 
 sions under Governors DeWitt Clinton and William L,. Marcy. In 1840 
 he was one of the associate judges of the court of common pleas of the 
 count}*, which position he retained for five or six years. In 1850 he 
 was appointed deputy marshall of the third assembly district, and took 
 the census that year. He was one of the original members of the Pres- 
 byterian church, and was ever after one of its most liberal supporters. 
 In him the cause of religion and temperance found a ready and earnest 
 advocate.

 Deacon Mowry Thacher died October 17, 1883, in the house which 
 had long been his home, and which is now the oldest house in the city. 
 It was until recently owned by Mr. Thacher's daughter, Mrs. Stillman. 
 The house was originally built by Nathaniel Thacher for his son-in- 
 law, George Hornell, Jr. 
 
 Indian Reminiscences. — As early as when the first settlers came into the 
 ■Canisteo valley, there were many evidences that the Indians had planted 
 some portions of the flats. That corn had been cultivated, there seems 
 no doubt, as there were unmistakable signs apparent to the early set- 
 tlers in many places. At the time in the settlement of 1790, however, 
 the Indians made no attempts at agricultural pursuits, and they only 
 sought to keep possession of their hunting and fishing grounds. Inter- 
 course with the whites soon instilled into their minds the love of display 
 and the dignity of titles. And they were not slow in forming an appetite 
 for intoxicating drinks, although it is said they had the superior sense 
 to set apart one of their number whose duty it was to keep sober while 
 the rest were on a spree, and restrain them from acts. of lawlessness. 
 
 During 18 12 and 18 13 great fear was experienced that disaffection 
 among the Indians of the Genesee might spread among the Indians of 
 this section, and a repetition of the Wyoming massacre might be en- 
 acted among the white intruders here. Chief Shongo, who had borne 
 a prominent part in the Wyoming massacre, was well known in this 
 "vicinity and greatly feared. Major Moses VanCampen of Angelica, the 
 father of Mrs. Rev. Robt. Hubbard, the late Mrs. George Lockhart, and 
 the late Mrs. Samuel Mulhollen, had met Shongo often in Wyoming 
 and knew him well, and remembering the barbarous treatment and suf- 
 fering of the victims of that cruel event, he retained a deadly animosity 
 toward him and others of the perpetrators of that fiendish massacre as 
 he recognized them in these parts. It is said that VanCampen met 
 Shongo in the woods once. They immediately protected themselves 
 by retreating behind convenient trees, when the Major, placing his hat 
 upon his ramrod exposed it to the view of Shongo, who supposing that 
 VanCampen was peeking out, shot and put a ball through it. Van- 
 Campen taking advantage of the Indian's unprotected condition sprang 
 ■out and before Shongo could again load he put a ball into the thigh of 
 the chief, who no longer contested the point but disappeared rapidly 
 into the woods, shrieking as he went.* Deacon Thacher relates that 
 
 *Tbis traditionary account of the wounding of Shongo by VanCampen, is not ab- 
 solutely correct. Shongo received this wound at the battle below Newtown at the 
 time of Sullivan's invasion, as we learn from the following account taken from "The 
 Xife of Major VanCampen." " Mr. VanCampen took a station with the rest, as had 
 2>een directed, finding a stump behind which he threw himself for protection. He

 having occasion to go to the Genesee river he met Shongo when an old 
 gray-headed man at his home, and calling his attention to the encoun- 
 ter with Major VanCampen the chief laughed and showed the scar 
 made by the bullet. Shongo had in his possession at that time a- 
 treaty signed by George Washington. He also knew Judge Hornell 
 and referred to him by his Indian name — Ton-equin-e-da. 
 
 On June 30, 1778, tories, accompanied by Indians to the num- 
 ber of seven hundred left Niagara under the command of Col. John 
 Butler en route for Wyoming. Crossing the Genesee country they 
 struck the Canisteo about one mile above Hornellsville on the land of 
 the late John R. Stephens where the place was marked by stumps from 
 which trees were used in making canoes. An unfinished canoe and 
 some tools were also found which were left by the party. 
 
 We insert the following extract from a paper read before the Canis- 
 teo Valley Historical Societ} r by the Hon. Milo M. Acker, in March, 1S91 : 
 
 " In the many volumes that have been written concerning the early 
 history of the Wyoming and its blood)' battle, but little has been said re- 
 lating to this march of the Indian and English forces from Central and 
 Western New York until they reached a place called Tioga Point — now 
 Athens, Pa. Presumably from the fact that the Indian always followed 
 customary trails, they gradually gathered along the line of two main 
 routes. One known later as Sullivan's route, the other that through 
 the Canisteo valley. 
 
 had not more than fairly taken his place before he heard the report ot a gun, a ball 
 from which came whistling toward him and was received by his little bulwark. He 
 perceived that it came from a large tree directly opposite. In a few minutes his 
 antagonist planted another bullet in the stump. Perceiving immediately after the 
 fire, that a few hazel bushes obstructed his view in case he should return the shot. 
 VanCampen sprang out, and with his knife lopped them down, returning in an iu- 
 stant to his former position. Directly after, another ball struck the stump, and put- 
 ting his eye a little out from behind it, he caught a glimpse of the Indian attempting; 
 to reload his rifle. In ramming down his charge he threw out his hips from the 
 tree so far, that VanCampen supposed a well directed shot might hit him. Then 
 watching for his opportunity, with his finger on the trigger of his gun and his sight 
 directed very close to the bark of the tree, the hips of the Indian again coming in 
 sight, he touched off his rifle, and the ball speeding its unerring course, hit the 
 mark. The Indian bounded into the air with a yell, holloing 'ca-hoo,' and sank 
 down upon the ground. 'Xo more shots, came from that tree,' savs Mr. Van- 
 Campen, 'and I concluded that I had silenced that battery.' " Shongo, who subse- 
 quently lived at an Indian village on the Genesee, many years after the battle called 
 upon VanCampen on business, and in the course of conversation, this battle was dis- 
 cussed. VanCampen related that he was behind a stump which was fired into by « 
 large Indian who stood behind an oak tree directly opposite, that he had the good 
 fortune to get a shot at him when he was loading his gun, and that, from 
 the manner in which he jumped, he supposed that he had hit him. Shongo, im- 
 mediately upon hearing the story, said " Cozsaugh, I same Indian." Then turning 
 up his breech-cloth, showed the scar.

 "After a few weeks' march in a southeasterly direction across the 
 level country of Western New York, Butler and the main body of his 
 arm 3' reached Canaseraga creek; followed the stream to its source across 
 the highlands to the head waters of the Canisteo, and camped in the 
 vicinity of Arkport, a place destined to be settled by people from the 
 valley they had determined to devastate. Weary of feeling their way 
 through the trackless forests with nothing but a faint trail to follow, 
 they decided to complete the journey down the Canisteo in canoes. The 
 place of preparation was at or near a small bend in the river, a few rods 
 north of the present limits of the city of Hornellsville, where the tall 
 pines from a bluff about one hundred feet high looked down upon the 
 lowlands through which flowed the stream so soon to bear on its smooth 
 surface this company of warriors. 
 
 ' ' This bluff of land, owned at present by Charles Hartshorn, was se- 
 lected from the fact that logs of sufficient size to make canoes capable 
 of carrying more than a score of men and their trappings of war could 
 be slid easily down the steep hillside to the water's edge. At this spot 
 have been found many such relics as would naturally have been left at 
 such a camping place. Trunks of trees that had been hewn into canoes 
 and then cast aside — decayed portions of canoes finished and then dis- 
 carded — arrow heads and ill-formed bullets have been brought to light 
 by the plow, or by boys searching along the river's bank. 
 
 " We have no means of knowing just how long they were in making 
 preparations for their voyage, but from the facts which have been 
 gleaned from the descendants of those old settlers who came from the 
 Wyoming, and had themselves talked with the participants in that bat- 
 tle, or their children — and from the fact also that until recent years the 
 stumps of trees which furnished the canoes could still be seen, we 
 are led to believe, what has ever been a matter of legend, that at least 
 twenty canoes were hewn out of trees cut on this very spot." 
 
 The settlers at Wyoming mistrusting that an advance was to be made 
 upon their settlement by the Indians, sent out as spies Solomon Bennett, 
 Jedediah Stephens and a man named Hammond. These men secreted 
 themselves in South Mountain on the Susquehanna river, where they 
 could see the detachment sent from the Genesee country. Counting the 
 canoes with those who followed after along the banks, they estimated 
 the entire number at not less than fifteen hundred. 
 
 An Indian chief named Straight Back lived upon the river bank near 
 where the Seneca street bridge now crosses the stream. There sprang 
 up a warm friendship between this Indian and Reuben Crosby, the pi- 
 oneer landlord of Hornellsville, and the latter invited the chief to his 
 house — which was built of hewn logs and stood at the northeast corner 
 of Main and Seneca streets — to take dinner with him. 
 
 . Crosby was desirous of cultivating the friendship of Straight Back , and 
 also wished to impress him with the fact that his pale-faced neighbor 
 was a person of some importance, who, if he did not dress "in purple 
 and fine linen," at least "fared sumptuously every day." 
 
 When the occasion arrived, Crosby ordered a superb dinner cooked, 
 
360 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 which in due time was served by two waitresses, the men occupying the 
 table alone. 
 
 Straight Back, with great dignity, acted the genteel guest to perfec- 
 tion. As course after course was brought in he partook of each with a 
 relish, and, though he said but little, acted with so much ease that the 
 most observant could not tell but he was accustomed to such a "spread" 
 every day. Crosby was rather disappointed. But the sequel more than 
 pleased him, and he used to tell the whole story to his friends and his 
 guests, always laughing heartily as he related it. 
 
 It was not long before the chief invited Crosby to dine with him. 
 When the day arrived Crosby entered the wigwam. In the center of 
 the hut crotched sticks had been driven into the earth, and upon them 
 was laid a piece of rough board picked up near Crosby's place. This 
 was to serve as a table. Upon it lay two wooden spoons. A block of 
 wood upon each side was evidently intended for seats. Crosby was in- 
 vited to sit down, and the Indian seated himself opposite him. Then 
 Straight Back called out, "Squaw, bring 'em on." Immediately his 
 squaw appeared with a great tray of succotash, from which the}* both ate 
 for some time. Presently Straight Back issued the command, "Squaw, 
 take 'em off." She appeared and carried the tray back to the fire. 
 After a brief interval the order to "bring 'em on" was repeated, and so 
 on several times, until Crosby had been served with succotash as many 
 times as he had furnished Straight Back with courses at his own board. 
 
 As late as 1832 their were six or more Indian camps near Fremont 
 Centre, and some on Big Creek, About that year there died at one of 
 the Big Creek camps a handsome 5 r oung Indian known as Bill y Jamison, 
 a grandson of Mary Jamison, the white woman. 
 
 Organization'. 
 
 The town of Hornellsville was formed from Canisteo April 1, 1820, 
 and embraced in addition to its present territory the toWn of Hartsville 
 and a part of Fremont. Hartsville was taken off in 1844, and part of 
 Fremont in 1854. The first town meeting was held on the first Tues- 
 day in March, 182 1, at the house of widow Martha Hornell, then occu- 
 pied by Peter Reynolds. The following town officers were elected: 
 
 "Ira Davenport, supervisor; John R. Stephens, town clerk: John 
 Hurlbut, George Hornell, James Harding, assessors: William Bost- 
 wick, collector; Elijah Stephens, Stephen Webb, poormasters; Stephen 
 Coon, Asa Upson, Samuel Harding, commissioners of highway's: Chris-

 Few events of historical importance took place in the town of Hor- 
 nellsville for man;' years preceding the work of the Xew York & Erie 
 
TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 36 1 
 
 Railroad company which was chartered in 1832 to build a railroad from 
 some point on the Hudson river through the southern tier of counties to 
 some point on Lake Erie. This enterprise aroused the energies of the 
 citizens of this section. It appears that no definite line had been deter- 
 mined upon except that the route should extend by the way of Owego. 
 This was an opportunity which the shrewd men of Hornellsville saw 
 could not well be lost. They therefore at once proceeded to make the 
 most of it, by prompt and energetic action, and intense excitement pre- 
 vailed. The decision as to whether the railroad would be built through 
 the Canisteo valle3 r or through the Conhocton valley was a question of 
 momentous importance. Great joy therefore followed the declaration 
 of the engineer that the line should go by the way of Hornellsville on 
 its way to Lake Erie. He was materially aided, no doubt, in his deter- 
 mination by the exertions of many prominent and influential citizens of 
 the Canisteo valley, among whom were T. J. Reynolds, John K. Hale, 
 Judge Hawley, T. J. Magee, Walter G. Rose, Rufus Tuttle, Charles N. 
 Hart, Martin Adsit and others who represented the interests of Hornells- 
 ville at the meeting held at Cameron, July 28, 1849, at which a memor- 
 ial to the officers of the New York & Erie was ordered prepared and 
 printed. 
 
 The memorial sets forth in plausible terms the advantages of the Can- 
 isteo as a route for the proposed railway. It was claimed to be a less 
 distance by about five miles, and something over a hundred feet less 
 grade, and therefore a reduced cost of construction and maintainence 
 would be effected. They also called attention to the use that could be 
 made of the grading of the old " pile-driver " route, and the relative 
 population of the rival routes. At a subsequent meeting held at Addi- 
 son, August 24, 1849, the committee on the memorial reported through 
 its chairman, Nathaniel Finch. William R. Smith, Gen. Ransom 
 Rathbone and James Alley, were selected to go to New York city and 
 present to the president and chief engineer and to each of the direc- 
 tors a copy of said memorial. The document was full of strong points, 
 and placed an array of facts and arguments before the company that 
 were unanswerable. The pile-driver referred to above was a machine 
 with which the same company had in 1841 started the construction of a 
 road upon piles. It is described as " a steam machine combining pile- 
 driver, locomotive and saw-mill." It was moved on wheels, and drove 
 two piles at a time after which it sawed them off at a given level. The 
 machine was started near the river east of the depot, and moved east- 
 ward. Some of the piles may still be seen at different points in this vi- 
 cinity. The construction of the road upon this plan was afterward sus- 
 pended for want of funds, and resumed as above noted. The damage to 
 business interests in this vicinity following the suspension of this work, 
 
362 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 was very serious. Many who had been to great expense in preparing 
 timbers for the trestles, bridges, etc., for the use of the company, now 
 found themselves in debt with large quantities of ties and piles on their 
 hands for which there was no market and nothing less than financial ruin 
 seemed before them. When the re-organized companj* decided to go 
 through the Canisteo valley on the old line, business activity was again 
 stimulated; the stock of timber which had lain idly awaiting a market, 
 was bought up at advanced prices by the new management, real estate 
 advanced and an era was entered uj>on characterized by permanent pros- 
 perity, and the impulse then received has resulted in aiding largely in 
 building up one of the most thriving business centres in the state. 
 
 On Sunday, September 1, 1850, the first locomotive engine ran into 
 Hornellsville. According to a tradition a wager had been made that 
 on that da3 T the track would be completed, and under great disadvan- 
 tages the bet was won. The labor was performed at much inconveni- 
 ence in various ways. The bridge at the east end of the yard had not 
 yet been finished, and at the time of the arrival of the "Orange No. 
 4," presented an obstruction which delayed its entrance into Hornells- 
 ville village several hours, and it was only by hard work prosecuted 
 persistently in a drizzling rain, under the direction of contractor Ben- 
 jamin Folsom, the father of Mrs. William B. Taylor, of Canisteo, that 
 the engine entered Hornellsville that night. The long expected sound 
 of the whistle, when heard on that day is said to have been sufficient to 
 nearly break up church services and to have made the people nearly- 
 frantic with delight. They flocked in the direction of the sound, and 
 the excited and inqusitive small boys in great numbers were a source 
 of much annoyance to the energetic Mr. Folsom, who was not on that 
 day in his usual pleasant mood. The engine which made its first appear- 
 ance here that September da)-, was also the pioneer engine to Dunkirk, 
 on the western division and to Attica on the Buffalo division. Follow- 
 ing the Orange No. 4, on the western division was a Hinckley engine, 
 No. 90, which was brought by H . G. Brooks and C. W. Tufts from Boston 
 to Piermont on a schooner where it was put on a scow and towed to 
 Buffalo through the Erie canal. It was there loaded on, a ship and 
 taken to Dunkirk, where it began its active career by pulling the first 
 train of cars ever seen in that section . 
 
 C. W. Tufts came from Dunkirk to Hornellsville in 1851 by stage, 
 the trip consuming four days, to run engine No. 73, on the construc- 
 tion train between Hornellsville and Andover. Just previous to the 
 grand opening of the Erie road, one day while the No. 73 was stand- 
 ing at Tip Top Summit, without a moments warning sank in the swamp, 
 where it remained almost entirely submerged for several days. A track 
 
TOWN OF HORNEIXSVILLE. 363 
 
 was built around it for use of trains, and it was extricated after a week's 
 hard labor. 
 
 The opening of the road was signalized by a grand excursion from 
 New York to Dunkirk of the officers of the company, accompanied by 
 many prominent men among whom were Daniel Webster, William H. 
 Seward, President Millard Fillmore and others as guests. At many of 
 the principal points along the route grand receptions were given and 
 speeches were made by gentlemen composing the party. Mr. C. H. 
 Sherman, now living in Dunkirk, was the engineer of this train over 
 the western division. The engine used was the No. 71. 
 
 In 1 85 1 the nucleus of the present large shops, for the housing of two 
 engines was built. In 1852 additions were made to the shed for the 
 accommodation of machinery for the light repairs of engines. As ne- 
 cessity demanded it was added to until a large shop was the result. In 
 1 854 ground was broken for a new round house aad shop which was 
 completed in 1856., when it was dedicated by a grand ball held in the 
 shop. These festivities were attended by a large number of the citizens 
 of Hornellsville and by as many prominent railroad men from other 
 points along the line of the Erie railroad. The stationary engine room 
 was used on that occasion as a ladies' dressing room. The shops and 
 grounds were lighted by head-lights and a great profusion of lamps. A 
 platform was erected for the speakers and musicians. A brass band 
 was present from Elmira, and to conclude with, a fine banquet was pro- 
 vided at the Erie dining saloon in the depot by the proprietor Mr. J.M. 
 Osborne. J. P Martin was master mechanic of the shops at that 
 time. 
 
 Janury 20, 1857, the shop was visited by a fire which destroyed much 
 valuable machinery, one engine and a portion of the edifice, though by 
 great effort the round house was saved. The fire originated near the 
 office of the master mechanic. 
 
 It was thought in those days, evidently, that all future developments 
 of the railroad business was amply provided for by the shops and yards 
 as they were at this point. Land was sold which now comprises Loder 
 and Buffalo streets, because it was supposed that all future needs were 
 provided for. Since that time, however, the shops have been enlarged 
 several times, and large additions to the machinery have been made 
 from time to time. In 187S it became evident that the shops were in- 
 adequate for the pressure of business and the edifice being so badly de- 
 cayed that repairs were impossible, thirty acres of land was purchased 
 on the east side of the yard near the river and the erection of very com- 
 plete shops, round house and offices as commenced. These build- 
 ings were occupied in May, 18S2, although engines were stored in a 
 part of the round house during the previous winter. The business has 
 
364 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 steadily grown in volume until it is now one of the most important on 
 the Erie system. 
 
 A fine structure near the new shops, used as a coaling station, was 
 burned, June, 1888, and the present structure was built earl}- in 1889 
 to take its place. 
 
 Not only has the mechanical department of the Erie at this point 
 largely increased in importance, but the same is also true of the various 
 other interests. A large brick depot taking the place of the original 
 edifice which was destro\-ed by fire on the night of November 31 , 1879, 
 was built in 1880. It has been smce rebuilt so as to accommodate the 
 business of the superintendent of the western division and other divis- 
 ion officials whose offices have been removed from Dunkirk. 
 
 The village of Hornellsville was incorporated under the general law 
 at a court of sessions held at Bath June 2S, 1S52. The first election was 
 held August 30 of the same year and John H. Lillie. who at the present 
 time is a resident of Los Angeles, California, was elected president and 
 Thomas Snell, J. T. Wilber, Richard Durbin. William R. McCormick 
 and J. H. Lillie were chosen trustees. 
 
 In February, 1888, the bill was signed by Governor Hill making 
 Hornellsville a city. The election following was strongly contested by 
 Republicans and Democrats. Popular men on both sides were candi- 
 dates for the positions. The result of the election held Tuesday, March 
 13, 1888, is subjoined:

 First Mercantile Venture. — The first store in the town of Hornellsville 
 consisted of a single wagon load of goods which was brought here from 
 Harpersfield, Delaware county, N. Y., by Ira Davenport in.1815. His 
 
TOWN T OF HORNELLSVILLE. 365 
 
 store was built of wood by himself, and was about 18x20 feet in size, and 
 stood opposite the present Hornell Iron Works. The building was af- 
 terward used as a kitchen for the "Black Horse Tavern." His next 
 store was built on Main street, opposite the residence of Mrs. Charles 
 Hartshorn. In after years the edifice was occupied by Hugh Magee, 
 and was known as the Eagle Tavern. The first brick house erected in 
 the town of Hornellsville, used jointly as a store and residence, was the 
 next scene of his mercantile operations. This building is still standing 
 and is the home of Martin Adsit. At this time Mr. Davenport used to 
 bring his goods from Catskill, on the Hudson river, by teams. He had 
 many mercantile plants in various parts of the country, and amassed a 
 large fortune in this pursuit. He removed from Hornellsville to Bath 
 in 1847, where he died, May 2, 1868, at the age of seventy-three. Mar- 
 tin Adsit, a nephew of Mr. Davenport, succeeded him in the mercantile 
 business, which he continued until about ten years ago, when he aband- 
 oned it to devote himself exclusively to his banking interests. 
 
 The pioneer in the tannery business here was Andy L,. Smith, father 
 of the recent merchant of the same name still living in this city. 
 
 Biographical. —Christopher Hurlbut was born in Groton, Conn., May 
 3°> J 757- He emigrated with his father, Deacon John Hurlbut, to the 
 state of Pennsylvania in 1779, and when within two days' journey of 
 the Wyoming valley, which was their destination, they heard of the 
 massacre and stopped at Lackawaxen. Here and at Hanover they con- 
 tinued to live until the year 1796, when Christopher Hurlbut came to 
 this town and took up a tract of thirteen hundred acres in a body, pay- 
 ing therefor five dollars an acre, and in the town of Wayland several 
 hundred acres for which he paid two dollars and a half an acre. The 
 following 3'ear he brought his family. Mr. Hurlbut was a very promi- 
 nent man, both here and in Luzerne county, Pa. In the latter county 
 he was judge of the court of common pleas. He was a surveyor by 
 profession, and many of his surveys are still referred to. He died April 
 2i, 1831. The Hurlbut family trace their lineage to Lieut. Thomas 
 Hurlbut, who came from England about the year 1630. 
 
 Dugald Cameron, 2d, was born in Scotland and married Ann Max- 
 well in the city of Glasgow. Nine children were born to them, the 
 eldest of whom — Dugald Cameron, of Hammondsport — was born in 
 Scotland. They came to this country in 18 16, or 1817, and after a 
 year's residence at Bath, located in Hornellsville. Mr. Cameron was 
 one of the early surveyors of this county. He gave to the Presbyterian 
 society of Hornellsville its present valuable site. He died November 
 28, 1869. 
 
 John R. Stephens was prominent among the early settlers of this 
 town, where he owned a tract of fifteen hundred acres. He was mem-

 ber of assembly, beside filling some offices of the town. The Erie rail- 
 road found in Mr. Stephens a most stubborn opponent, and one who 
 compelled the company for many years to pay him rent for crossing his 
 farm. Many of his decendants still reside here. 
 
 Medad Bostwick, primarily from New Haven, Conn., came from Che- 
 nango county to the village of Hornellsville, where he located his three 
 sons. Of these William and Truman were well known in the early 
 days of Hornellsville, the former a merchant and the latter proprietor 
 of a stage house for many years. Medad Bostwick went west to invest 
 in land, taking, for those times, a large amount of money with him. 
 He never returned, nor his family never again heard from him. Tru 
 man Bostwick, a soldier of 1S12, was a man of considerable business 
 ability, and but for his untimeh- death, doubtless would have ranked 
 among the foremost business men of Hornellsville. He was a deputy 
 sheriff of the county, and was largely interested in lumbering. He con- 
 templated the erection of a large brick hotel, and had the brick in kiln 
 when he died, in 1834. Mr. Bostwick married Harriet, daughter of 
 Major Asa AckleA* Ga\-lord. Four daughters were born of this union, 
 viz.: Flora (Mrs. Thomas J. Magee), Ann, who died at an early age; Eli- 
 za, widow of the late Andrew J. Plimpton, and Harriet, widow of the 
 late Peter D. Schuyler. 
 
 Andy L,- Smith, Sr., was born in Charlton, Saratoga county, and at 
 an early daj' settled in Cazenovia, Madison county. He came to this 
 town in 1820, and built the first tannery in the town on the present site 
 of the O'Connor tannery. He was also a practical shoemaker, and 
 conducted the business of manufacturing boots and shoes, hiring from 
 twelve to twenty men. Mr. Smith married first in Vermont, and of this 
 union two children were born. His second wife was Mary Allen, of Caze- 
 novia, by whom healsohad two children, Charlotte B. and Andy L. Smith, 
 of this city. The latter was born in Cazenovia, July 9, 1S1S, was brought 
 to this town when but one and a half years of age, and has continued to 
 live here since. Hence he has lived here continuouslj* longer than any 
 other person in the town. In his early years Mr. Smith attended the 
 common schools and assisted his father in his business, and finally suc- 
 ceedee him in the manufacture of boots and shoes. He has also been 
 engaged in mercantile business. Mr. Smith has been twice married, 
 first to Sarah, daughter of George Young, of Painted Post, and second 
 to Eliza (Young) Traver, sister of the former wife. He is now associ- 
 ated with the Erie railroad company, holding a position in their offices 
 in this city. Andy Smith, Sr., died in 1854, at the age of sixty -three 
 years. 
 
 James McMichael, born May 26, 1795, came from Pennsylvania in 
 1822, and settled on Pennsylvania Hill in this town. His wife was

 Elizabeth Kinney, who was born March 3, 1796. Their children, born 
 as follows, were Sally A., May 23, 1818; William, April 16, 1820; Re- 
 becca, April 30, 1822: Elizabeth, July 28, 1824; Philip, April 16,1826; 
 Electa, March 16, 182S; and John, August 20, 1832. William married 
 Susan Labour. Children: Dora, Philip, Duane, who died at the age 
 of ssveu years, and Birzilla. The latter married Alice Love. 
 
 James Dildine came from Williamsport, Pa., in 1823 and settled on 
 the J. Wheeler farm. His son, John R. came at the same time and lo- 
 cated on the farm now owned by Thomas J. Taylor. 
 
 Martin Adsit was born in Columbia county, New York, in December, 
 1812, and removed to Hornellsville in December, 1826. The village at 
 that time consisted of twenty-five houses and a grist and saw-mill. Mr. 
 Adsit entered the store of his uncle, the late Col. Ira Davenport, then 
 the only merchant in Hornellsville, as clerk, and remained in that situ- 
 ation until he commenced mercantile business for himself in 1833. Mr. 
 Adsit is president of the First National Bank of Hornellsville. 
 
 William O'Connor was born in Andes, Delaware county, New York, 
 August 26, 1827. At an early da3' his father, James O'Connor, moved 
 into this town — now Hartsville — and carried on blacksmithing. He 
 subsequently moved to Doty's Corners in the town of Dansville, and to 
 Mt. Morris, where he died, in 1847. William O'Connor learned the 
 trade of tanner at Mt. Morris and at LeRoy, and in 1850 started in that 
 business for himself in Almond. In December, 1864, he bought of W. 
 G. Rose and L. E. Benton, the tannery at the corner of Seneca and Gen- 
 esee streets, which he enlarged and improved. In 1879 his son George 
 W., was admitted to partnership with him. Mr. O'Connor was inter- 
 ested in the Rawson Manufacturing Company, established in 1859, and 
 organized in 1880. He also erected a large factory for the manufacture 
 of carriage bodies and running gear. He married first Julia M. Childs 
 of LeRoy, by whom he has a son and -a daughter, George W., and Isa- 
 bel A., wife of Dr. Samuel Mitchell. His present wife was Sarah (Has- 
 kill) Stevens of South Dansville. 
 
 Jonathan Nicholson, a local Methodist preacher, primarily from Hart- 
 ford, Conn., settled in Union, Luzerne county, Pa., moved to Newtown 
 (Elmira) in 1825, and in 1829 located in the eastern part of this town 
 on the turnpike, on the Wesley Nicholson farm, where he built a large 
 two -story log house on the site of the Luther Chapman house. He 
 bought out Thomas Beattie who had made a slight clearing, and built a 
 small log house with a sloping or shed roof. A small distillery had pre- 
 viously been built there about the time the turnpike was opened in 1S09, 
 to supply the men employed in building the road, with whiskey. The 
 only clearing between the river at Hornellsville and the Nicholson place 
 in 1829, was at the Henry Ranger place, where Hughey Clark, an Irish- 
 
368 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 man, had cleared about twenty acres, and had built a log house and 
 barn. Mr. Nicholson was the father of fifteen children, thirteen of whom 
 were sons. 
 
 Daniel Sutton came from Pennsylvania and settled first in Sparta. At 
 an early day he came to Pennsylvania Hill. Anthony Sutton settled 
 on the John Gallaher farm . 
 
 Thomas J . , son of Thomas Magee, was born in the town of Bath. He 
 married Flora, daughter of Truman Bostwick, by whom he had one son, 
 Harry Bostwick Magee. Thomas Magee moved into the town of Hor- 
 nellsville at an early day, where he took up a large tract of land on the 
 Canisteo. H. B. Magee still owns the homestead. 
 
 John R. Sheldon was born in Hornellsville, July 6, 1833. Hisfather, 
 Orson Sheldon, came from Lebanon, Madison county, in company with 
 his brother-in-law Philander Hartshorn, in 1832, but subsequently 
 moved with his family to Alfred Centre, where the subject of this notice 
 received his early education, taking an academic course at Cazenovia 
 Seminary. In 1851 he came to Hornellsville and entered the dry goods 
 store of Kingsbury & Chandler. In 1754, in company with William 
 Baldwin, now of Wellsville,he engaged in the dry goods trade under the 
 firm name of Sheldon & Baldwin, which partnership lasted for one 
 year, when Mr. Sheldon succeeded to the business which he conducted 
 alone until 1857. In 1858 he entered the hardware business in com- 
 pany with his father and brother, and which is continued now under the 
 firm name of Sheldon Brothers. Mr. Sheldon married Lydia P. Can- 
 field, of Elmira. 
 
 Fred M. Sheldon, brother of the above, was born in Hornellsville, 
 January 27, 1836. He received his education here and at Norwich, 
 Chenango county and at Alfred University. He was for some years a 
 clerk, then a member of the firm of Wilkie & Sheldon, boot and shoe 
 dealers, and subsequently associated with his father and brother in the 
 business which is now carried on by Sheldon Brothers. Mr. Sheldon 
 is a Prohibitionist in politics, and ran on that party ticket in 1882, for 
 state comptroller. His wife was Victoria Woodward, of Rochester, 
 Lorraine county, ^O. 
 
 Abram Cadogan was born in West Winfield, Herkimer county.N.Y., 
 July 10, 1813. His father, Abram Cadogan was a soldier in the war of 
 i8i2,and served at Sackett's Harbor where he was taken sick and died. 
 About 1836, Abram Jr. came to Canisteo, where he resided for fourteen 
 years, and in 1850 came to Hornellsville, which has since been his resi- 
 dence, where he has been engaged as mill-wright, in the wagon busi- 
 ness and in building. He married Frances J., daughter of Charles 
 Whitwood of Truxton, formerly of Stockbridge, Mass. 
 
 Charles F. Smith was born in Carlsruhe, Baden, in 1818. In 1836 
 
TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. . 369 
 
 he came to this country, locating in Rochester, where he remained for two 
 years then came to Arkport. Here he was for many years quite exten- 
 sively engaged in the manufacture of wagons and carriages. He mar- 
 ried Laura, daughter of Daniel Robinson, formerly of Oswego county. 
 
 Charles Cadogan was born in the town of Canisteo, September 10, 
 1838. He received a common school education, and entered the grocery 
 store of Ely & Brown on the southeast corner of Main and Broad streets 
 in Hornellsville. This was the first store in Hornellsville devoted to 
 the sale of groceries exclusively. Mr. Cadogan succeeded the above 
 firm and for one year conducted the business alone, after which he as- 
 sociated with him, J. W Nicholson who continues the business. For 
 nineteen years Mr. Cadogan remained in mercantile business. On 
 October 17, 1887, he was elected president of the Citizens' National 
 Bank, which position he still holds. 
 
 Jesse Eddy came from DeRuyter, Madison county, in 1838, and set- 
 tled in the southwestern part of the town. Mrs. Eddy was an expert 
 at the loom, who did much beautiful work, some of which is still to be 
 seen in that section of the town. 
 
 John Peak came from Burlington, Otsego count}', N. Y., in 1839, 
 and settled on the J. E. R. Patten farm, on Pennsylvania Hill. His 
 first wife was Bethsheba Clough. His second wife, whom he married 
 in New Hampshire, was Mrs. Elizabeth Blanchard, and the third wife 
 was Julia Bissel. Of his children, David married Harriet, daughter of 
 Jesse Eddy. Children : Dwight, Celestia, and John. Julia M. mar- 
 ried Lowell W. Batchelder. Their children wereMyraJ., Marcia, Ver- 
 nette, Marlin, and Frankie, who died in infancy. Myra J. married Da- 
 vid H. Bloss. Children : Hattie Belle, Nettie, and Loie. Marcia 
 married Ira H. McMichael. Children : Lee Waldo, deceased ; Ethel 
 Belle and Edwin Lee. 
 
 Chauncey Smith, son of Moses and Dorothy Smith, was born in 
 Charleston, N. Y., October 24, 1799. When a boy he came to Albany, 
 where he learned the trade of merchant tailor. Here he remained many 
 years and conducted a business of his own very successfully, until, on 
 account of ill health, he was obliged to leave that city. On the invita- 
 tion of his uncle, Andrew Smith Sr. , he came to Hornellsville, and was 
 urged to locate here. But owing to the irreligious character of the peo- 
 ple here at that time, it seemed to him that he could never endure to 
 live among them. He was a Presbyterian of the old stamp, very strict 
 and very devout, and it was the boast of some here that any man of his 
 character would not be tolerated here. Upon his return to Albany he 
 informed his wife that he could not be induced to settle here. But the 
 situation of the people in this place as regarded religious privileges trou- 
 bled him, and the thought of settling here forced itself upon him as a 
 
370 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 call of duty, which he must obey, consequently he sold out his business 
 and removed his family to this place. Soon after his arrival he hired a 
 Methodist circuit preacher to hold services here, and he and Deacon 
 Thacher held prayer meetings, at which, oftentimes, they were the 
 only attendants. Methodist services were held in the school house, and 
 here he always attended until the organization of the Presbyterian 
 church, which took place in a barn on Main street, located near the 
 present site of the Furniture Works. Mr. Smith and Mr. Thacher were 
 ordained elders in that barn. As there was no resident minister here, 
 he often officiated at funerals. He^was superintendent of the Sunday 
 school, and a teacher in the Sunday school to the time of his death. He 
 took an active part in the work of raising funds for a church building 
 and was a liberal subscriber to that fund. On April 17, 1825, he mar- 
 ried Amelia Steers, who was born in Brooklyn, May 10, 1S06. 
 
 Their children were born as follows : Harriet A., March S, 1S26 ; 
 Chauncey Goodrich, June 16, 1827; Harriet A. 2nd, May 21, 1829: 
 Henrietta, January 25, 1832: Diogenes, Ma}- 27, 1S34: Samuel B., 
 June 20, 1S36; Moses, July 12, 1S39; SarahJ., September 18, 1843. 
 
 Mr. Smith purchased ten acres of land of Ira Davenport for ten dol- 
 lars an acre, and upon a portion of this he built the house now owned 
 by Mr. Prindall, at the foot of Main street. 
 
 William D. Burdick was born in Brookfield, Madison county, X. Y.. 
 and when twelve years of age came to Alfred with his father, Abel Bur- 
 dick, who settled on Sugar Hill. William subsequently settled in 
 Hartsville and then on Crosby creek in this town. He died in 1S75. 
 
 John M. Finch was born in the town of Hornellsville, January 29, 
 1841. His father, Nathaniel Finch, was one of the most prominent 
 and widely known citizens of the county. He was born in Greenwich, 
 Conn., in 1798, and for several years prior to moving to Hornellsville, 
 was engaged in surveying public lands in Tennessee and Mississippi. 
 In 1837 he located on a farm just east of the present city of Hornells- 
 ville, and in 1845 he moved into the then small village where he con- 
 tinued to reside until his death in 1866. 
 
 When it was an open question whether the Erie railroad should be 
 located through theConhocton or the Canisteo valle\', Xathanial Finch, 
 with other residents of the Canisteo valley, interested himself to secure 
 its location through the latter valley, and was largefy instrumental in 
 bringing about that result. The acquaintance he then formed with the 
 officials of the Erie road, led to his being employed by that company, 
 and until his death — for a period of over twenty-five years — he 
 occupied the highly important and responsible position of attor- 
 ney and general land agent of the company. As such, he had 
 charge of the difficult and delicate labor of settling claims and

 litigations, purchasing land and securing just valuation and taxation 
 of the company's property. His judgement was relied upon wholly in 
 determining the policy to be pursued in the company's extensive litiga- 
 tion. He disbursed millions of dollars of the company's funds, and 
 conducted hundreds of important and difficult negotiations. Mr. Finch 
 took an active part in political and public matters, but never sought 
 office. A man of varied learning, popular manners and inflexible hon- 
 esty, he passed away mourned by many friends in every part of the 
 state. 
 
 John M. Finch was educated in the public schools of Hornellsville, 
 and at the old academy in Nunda, N. Y. At the age of eighteen years 
 he entered into the service of the Erie railroad company, under his 
 father as clerk, and later, as assistant to his father. He has continued in 
 the compan}''s employ ever since, covering a peried of now nearly thirty- 
 two years. To fit himself more fully for the particular service that he 
 was engaged in, he studied law and civil engineering, and at the age of 
 twenty -two years was admitted to practice as an attorney. His du- 
 ties were mostly in connection with the company's real estate and taxes, 
 and upon the death of his father in 1866, he succeeded him as attorney 
 and general land agent. The work of the office had, however, become 
 too great for one person to attend to, and at his request the duties were 
 divided, — the late Robert L. Brundage taking the position of attorney, 
 and Mr. Finch retaining that of general land agent. He continued in 
 that position until the spring of 1 891, when again at his request the 
 duties were divided, the real estate business being placed in charge of 
 his brother Frank F. Finch, — who had been one of his assistants for 
 many years — and he retained the charge of the company's tax matters. 
 
 If we but stop to consider the fact that the Erie railroad extends the 
 whole length of the state and passes through hundreds of towns, vil- 
 lages and cities, we can the more readily understand the importance and 
 responsibility of the positions held bj r Mr. Finch. The purchasing of 
 land and land interests, the perfecting of titles, adjusting claims affect- 
 ing real estate, the maintaining of satisfactory relations with municipal 
 corporations and preventing unjust taxation, were duties which required 
 in addition to hard work, constant care, patience, good judgement, tact, 
 and a thorough knowledge of men. Necessarily, such duties in behalf 
 of a railroad company were much more difficult to perform than they 
 would have been in the interests of individuals. However, Mr. Finch 
 so far secured the confidence of the people along the line of the road, by 
 honorable and fair treatment, that his promises on the part of the com- 
 pany were always relied upon, even during the dark days, financially, 
 which the Erie company experienced. His position was one which 
 brought him in contact with the people more than did the duties of any 
 
572 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 other official of the company, and in consequence of this he heard a 
 host of complaints, many of which called for attention, and his labors 
 were thus largely extended and varied. 
 
 It is said by those in a position to judge, that his record as a rail- 
 road real estate attorney stands very high, and that he has been remark- 
 ably successful. Like his father, Mr. Finch has disbursed man5' millions 
 of dollars for the company, and conducted hundreds of difficult and im- 
 portant negotiations. His long service testifies to his standing with the 
 Erie company. At an earl}- day he expects to retire from his present 
 position, and devote his whole time to his personal business matters. 
 
 While apparently fully occupied with his official duties, Mr. Finch 
 has found time to engage in several enterprises, nearly all of which have 
 contributed to the building up and improvement of his native place. 
 Very few of its citizens have done more to add to its prosperity and 
 good name. The beautiful cemetery of which Hornellsville is justly 
 proud, is the work chiefly of Mr. Finch, and to him and Andy L. Smith 
 all the credit is due for its present favorable condition. 
 
 The organization of the Hornell Librar\-, now the most important and 
 useful of Hornellsville 's public institutions, was the result of Mr. Finch's 
 suggestion, and he was the first contributor to it, and its first elected 
 member. The work, and hard work, of starting the library, was done 
 by his brother X. P. T. Finch, now of Plainfield, X. J., and who had 
 the satisfaction of seeing it fully established before leaving Hornells- 
 ville to become one of the editors and proprietors of the Atlanta, Ga., 
 " Constitution," and for years another brother, Frank F. Finch was one 
 of its most active managers. 
 
 The first real goverment the village of Hornellsville had , was when 
 Mr. Finch was one of the village trustees, and under a new charter 
 drafted by him, which continued with little change until the city was 
 organized. The older residents can recall the changes and improve- 
 ments that were that year made in the village, and which was the start- 
 ing point of its present attractiveness. Mr. Finch also served as school 
 trustee one term. These were the only official positions he ever held or 
 would consent to hold. He has been vice-president of the Citizens' 
 National Bank since its organization, in which he took an active part. 
 He is manager and treasurer of the James Alley Real Estate and Build- 
 ing Conrpanj'. This company has put up one block of twenty -five brick 
 dwellings, furnishing good houses at low rents. He is president of the 
 American Illuminating Company, which has given Hornellsville a 
 model electric plant, and the cheapest and best electric service in the 
 country. The Allegany Gas Company, of which he is secretary and 
 one of the managers, supplies the villages of Belmont and Friendship 
 in Allegan}' county with natural gas. Had the supply of gas been suf- 
 
TOWN OF HORNELLSVILI.E. 373 
 
 ficient, the lines would have been extended to Hornellsville, as was 
 originally intended. He is also president of the White-Ross Manufac- 
 turing Company, located at Olean, N. Y., engaged in the manufacture 
 of specialties, and he is also a large stockholder in the Whiffen Lake 
 Lasting Machine Compam-, of New Jersey. The most important work 
 that he has undertaken, in his estimation, and the one that will accom- 
 plish the greatest good, is the Hornell Sanitarium Company, of which he 
 is president, an account of which institution will be found in this work. 
 The Sanitarium has been in operation for more than a year, and has al- 
 ready accomplished much good. Mr. Finch and those associated with 
 him, aim more to make the Sanitarium successful as a cure than as an in- 
 vestment, and if it no more than pays operating expenses, they will be 
 content. The new building just completed b3* the company — a view of 
 which appears in the pages of this work — is the most prominent struc- 
 ture in the city. 
 
 It will be readily seen that nearly all of Mr. Finch's investments 
 have b p en of a nature to provide work for mechanics, or indirectly ben- 
 efit the working classes. In this way he has shown himself a better 
 and more practical friend to the laborer than most of the "professional" 
 agitators who "live" upon the laboring class. 
 
 Mr. Finch never held a government or municipal bond or a mortgage 
 other than such taken in the sale of land. It is this class of men who 
 build up cities, and have the firmest hold upon the gratitude and affec- 
 tions of the people. In politics he is an independent. While taking a 
 deep interest in all state and national matters, he has no liking for mod- 
 ern political ways. During the war he was an ardent Republican, but 
 since has shown a leaning toward Democratic principles. 
 
 Rufus Tuttle was born in Woodbury, Conn., April 2, 1806. He en- 
 gaged in the lumbering business in the state of Pennsylvania, rafting 
 his lumber to Philadelphia for about eight years, when a heavy freshet 
 swept away his entire stock of lumber, valued at several thousand dollars. 
 He then started as a dry goods peddler along the southern tier of coun- 
 ties in New York, and finally was enabled to start business for himself, 
 which he did in 1837, as a dry goods merchant at Almond, Allegany 
 county. There he remained for three years, when, on account of the 
 death of his brother at Harford, Pa., he sold his business in Almond and 
 took charge of and settled his brother's extensive mercantile business. 
 In October, 1842, he came to Hornellsville, where he purchased some 
 real estate and for several years gave his attention to its improvement 
 and erected several substantial residences thereon. In this business 
 and as a private broker, he was engaged until his death, October 28, 
 1874. 
 
 Samuel M. Alley was born in Almond, Allegany county, April 19, 
 
374 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 1825. His father died when he was but four years old, and he was 
 early "bound out," as the custom was in those days, but bought his. 
 time when between nineteen and twenty years of age. His schooling 
 was such as was then attainable in a country school. He entered a 
 country store in the capacity of clerk where he acquired a good knowledge 
 of business, of men and of property, of more practical value to him 
 than the knowledge obtained in schools. In 1848 he came to Hornells- 
 ville, where in company with others he built a foundry and machine 
 shop and brought the first steam engine and the first lathe for turning 
 iron ever brought into Hornellsville*: Mr. Alley was also engaged in 
 the mercantile trade. In 1853 he transferred his interests into lumber 
 and became a large shipper of lumber and grain, shipping as many as 
 one hundred thousand bushels of the latter product in a season. In 
 1857 he was elected clerk of the county, and in 1861 represented his 
 district in the assembly. Col. Alley was made one of the Central War 
 Committee by Governor Morgan, and raised the 141st Regt. N.Y.Vols.. 
 which he did in twenty -one days. He was prevented from assuming 
 command of the regiment by the clamor of the Senatorial War Com- 
 mittee, so far as Democrats were concerned, that they should have the 
 colonelcy of that regiment which they claimed was rendered necessary 
 by a proclamation of President Lincoln. Hence Colonel Hathaway 
 took the command. Mr. Alley was then made Colonel, was given the 
 command of the Elmira rendezvous, and remained in command until 
 relieved at his request by General Quimby. In 1864 he transferred his 
 lumber interests to Michigan and continued in that business until 1870, 
 when on account of failing health he abandoned it. In 1873 he was 
 asked to take the position of assistant land agent for the Erie railroad 
 and accepted. Upon the removal of that branch to New York Mr. 
 Alley asked to be released and was given the office of assistant tax 
 agent. He married Sylvia, daughter of Major Thomas Bennett. They 
 have two children: Flora (Mrs. C. C. Glazier), and Frank B., a well 
 known business man of Hornellsville. 
 
 Dr. H. G. Fay was born in Fabius, Onondaga county, New York, 
 April 5, 1 8 16. In 1820 his parents removed to Hinsdale, Cattaraugus 
 county; at which place he received his early education. When seven- 
 teen years of age he was apprenticed to a shoemaker. After learning 
 the trade, in connection with his father, he opened a shoestore and shop 
 in which they employed a number of men . He afterward removed to 
 Howard Flats where he engaged in business, and in 1838 married Sarah 
 A., daughter of Archibald Morris of that place. His health failed hint 
 in 1844, when he took up the study of medicine, and attended the med- 
 ical college of Albany; Hobart College, Geneva, and also a college at 
 Castleton, Vt. He began the practice of medicine at Hornellsville with 
 
TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 375 
 
 Dr. C. E. Belden in 1848. After ten years practice at Hofnellsville and 
 Canisteo, he removed to Painted Post, where he opened a drug store, 
 which he managed in connection with his practice. In 1861 he removed 
 to Bath, and after practicing there for a short time, went to Washington 
 with the 107 Regt. N. Y. Vols., as surgeon of the U. S- General Hospi" 
 tal. He was stationed at the Ebenezer Hospital to care for the wound- 
 ed after the second battle of Bull Run; and after the battles of South 
 Mountain and Antietam, was transferred to Frederick, Md. He prac- 
 ticed in Bath one year after the war, then removed to Wayland, where 
 he practiced until 1877. 
 
 Peter Labour was an early settler on Pennsylvania Hill. Jacob, his 
 son, married Zada, daughter of George Jones of Livingston county. The 
 latter was an early settler in that section. After his first settlement here 
 he went to Livingston county to reside, and afterward returned to this 
 town. 
 
 Col. Lewis D. Benton was the son of Harry Benton, an extensive 
 land owner and the possessor of slaves, who was a pioneer at Benton 
 Centre, Yates county. Harry Benton was a cousin of the great states- 
 man, Hon. Thomas H. Benton. Lewis Benton settled in the town of 
 Howard in 1 847 . He was commissioned colonel and raised a company 
 for service in the Mexican war, but as peace was soon after declared, the 
 company was never mustered into service. In 1850 Colonel Benton 
 moved to Hornellsville, where he was engaged in the harness and leather 
 business many years. He died October 14, 1881. 
 
 Daniel L. Benton, son of Lewis D., and Emily (Hatch) Benton, was 
 born in the town of Howard October 16, 1848. Soon after his birth his 
 parents removed to Hornellsville. His preliminary education was re- 
 ceived here, and later he attended school at Poughkeepsie, New York, 
 and Asbury University, at Green Castle, Ind. He read law with Sena- 
 tor Ira Harris of Albany, and graduated from the Albany Law School 
 in 1868. In May the same year, he was admitted to practice. He 
 opened an office in Hornellsville where he remained in practice a year 
 and a half, when he went to Michigan, where he held the position of at- 
 torney for the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad company. In 1876 he 
 returned to Hornellsville where he has since practiced. 
 
 George Tibbets was born in Augusta, Me., and at an early age went 
 to sea, serving before the mast thirteen years. In 1851 he came to Hor- 
 nellsville, and on the opening of the Erie railroad entered the employ 
 of that company, and has been in their service to the present time, with 
 the exception of a period during the war when he was employed by the 
 government as locomotive engineer at Nashville, Chattanooga and Lou- 
 isville. 
 
 Richard S. Curtis was born near London, England, and came to 
 
376 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 America in the year 184 1. He learned the cabinet-makers' trade in 
 Boston in 1845. In 1849 he worked at his trade in New York city, 
 and a year later at Savannah, Ga., and in 1851 at Rochester, X. Y. 
 
 In the year 1852 he located in Hornellsville where he soon established 
 a shop on Church street, in rear of the Canisteo block, and contin- 
 ued in business here until 1858 or 1859, when his establishment was 
 destro3'ed by fire. He then built on Main street a very unpretentious 
 business house, which has been added to year by year until it covers 
 half an acre of ground. He was alone herein the undertaking busi- 
 ness for many years, and to his credit be it said, that during the years 
 when he had this business to himself he kept it full}- up with the times, 
 and had no new things to learn from a competitor when one entered the 
 field. The undertaking business is not to-day what it was a few years 
 since. Then a coffin, rough box, hearse and bier were nearly the whole 
 outfit; now an undertaker must look after even - detail, from the proper 
 care of the body to the minutest particulars of the funeral arrangements. 
 In later years Mr. Curtis has devoted his attention more to a finer class 
 of stock, adding carpets and house-furnishings to his general furniture 
 business. He has also invested in real estate, having over a dozen 
 houses and stores rented at the present time in Hornellsville. Mr. Cur- 
 tis has reared a large family of children, who are now engaged in busi- 
 ness of their own or have good positions in places of trust. 
 
 Elom D. Smith was bom in North Haven, Conn., Novembers, 1S17. 
 In 1S35 his father, Deacon Hervey Smith, moved with his family to 
 Newark Valley, Tioga county, N. Y., where the subject of this notice 
 continued to live until 1847, when he went to Dansville and resided 
 there one year. Thence he went to Portage and carried on the tanning 
 business until 1853, when he moved to Hornellsville. Here he en- 
 gaged in the insurance business, also dealt in leather, and for a time 
 conducted a shoe store. He also engaged in the manufacture of brick. 
 He built much and handled much property, having owned about thirty 
 acres here. When he bought the site of his present residence on Gen- 
 esee street in 1853 and built there, his neighbors thought it strange that 
 he should go so far out to build. In 1851 that section of the town was 
 sowed to wheat. He has been a trustee of the Presbyterian church since 
 1854, has been a choir singer for over fifty 3-ears, and was leader of a 
 choir for forty years. He married Sarah Marsh Waldo, who died in 
 1879. 
 
 Hon. Russell M. Tuttle was born at Almond, Allegany county, N. 
 Y., January 12, 1840, and has been a resident of Hornellsville since 
 1842. He was a son of Rufus Tuttle, who was for more than thirty 
 years a prominent businessman and a respected citizen of Hornellsville. 
 He was married November 7, 1S67, to Ervilla, daughter of the late Dr.

 Levi S. Goodrich. He received his education at the Hornellsville pub- 
 lic schools, at Alfred Academy and at the University of Rochester, 
 where he was graduated in 1862. 
 
 In August, 1862, he enlisted in the 107th Regiment, New York Vol- 
 unteers, and served with the army of the Potomac, in the Atlanta cam- 
 paign and in the "march to the sea." He was promoted to second and 
 first lieutenant and at the close of the war received an honorary com- 
 mission as brevet captain United States volunteers. He was on staff 
 duty nearly two years, as topographical engineer and as A. A. A. G., 
 with Generals T. H. Ruger and W. T. Ward of the 20th Army corps. 
 
 Mr. Tuttle was elected president of the village of Hornellsville in 1868 
 and represented the second assembly district of Steuben in the legisla- 
 tures of 1 S 80 and rS8i. He has taken especial interest in the organi- 
 zation and management of the Hornell Library Association. 
 
 His chief interests have been in the newspaper and printing business . 
 He was an editor and proprietor of the "Hornellsville Times" from its 
 establishment in 1867 to 1879, and again from 1888 to the present time. 
 
 Gen. Nirom M. Crane was born in Penn Yan, Yates Co., N. Y., 
 December 13, 1828. The family of Crane is of English descent, and the 
 ancestor of the family, Henry Crane, — born 1635, — came to America 
 about the year 1660, as record is found of his descent as son of John 
 Crane, of Norfolk, England. General Crane traces his descent from 
 Capt. John Crane, son of Henry Crane, who was born in 1664, and 
 commanded a company in an expedition against Canada, in 171 1, and 
 died in New York, as the result of hardship and exposure in that cam- 
 paign. 
 
 His grandfather, Daniel Crane, — born 1756,— was a soldier during 
 the Revolutionary' war. He, with others, being at church when the 
 news of the battle of Concord came, at once enlisted in the service of 
 his country. 
 
 About the year 1806 he removed from Connecticut with his family, 
 and settled in Yates county, N. Y., in what is now the town of Benton, 
 then a wilderness. Hence he was a pioneer in that county, and there 
 spent the remainder of his life as a farmer, dying at about the age of 
 seventy. 
 
 General Crane's father, Nirom Crane, one of nine children, was a 
 volunteer and ranked as second lieutenant of a rifle company in the war 
 of 1812 ; was engaged in the battle of Queenstown Heights, Canada. 
 He led a quiet life as a farmer, and died at the age of sixty-one, in the 
 year 1845, leaving two sons and five daughters who reached maturity, 
 of whom the subject of this notice was the youngest. 
 
 At the age of fifteen he became a clerk in a general merchandise store 
 in Wayne, this county, and continued as such, in that place and Penn

 Yan, during the remainder of his minority. In the year 1849 he estab- 
 lished himself in business as a merchant at Wayne, which he continued 
 successfully for three years, and removed to Hornellsville, where he 
 carried on mercantile business until 1856, when, being chosen vice- 
 president of the Bank of Hornellsville, (the first bank established there), 
 he remained in connection with the business of that bank until it was 
 closed, in 1859. He at once started a private bank, the business of 
 which he carried on until the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion. 
 In April, 1861, inspired with that patriotism and loyalty to country so 
 characteristic of his ancestors, he* raised a company of volunteers, and 
 in May following, as lieutenant colonel of the 23d New York Volun- 
 teers (called the Southern Tier Rifles), hastened to the capitol reaching 
 Arlington Heights the next morning after the battle of Bull Run. 
 
 As lieutenant-colonel he commanded the regiment through Pope's 
 campaign, and led it successfully in the more important battles of Rap- 
 pahannock, Groveton, Bull Run, (second; Chantilly, South Mountain, 
 and Antietam. 
 
 After the latter battle he was detailed as acting inspector-general on 
 the staif of the First Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac , com- 
 manded by Major-General John F. Reynolds, where he remained until 
 after the close of the battle of Fredericksburg, and on which he offi- 
 ciated as aide-de-camp to General Reynolds, and was complimented in 
 general orders for gallantry on the battle-field by him. Subsequently 
 he was assigned assistant provost-marshal-general on the staff of 
 General Hooker, in the Army of the Potomac, wherehe remained until 
 the expiration of his term of service of two years, when, after only two 
 weeks' respite at home he returned to his regiment as colonel of the 
 107th N. Y. Vols., joined the regiment at Leesburg, Va., then on the 
 march to Gettysburg. In the battle of Gettysburg he had command of 
 the regiment in the thickest of the fight, yet losing only a few men. 
 
 His corps (the 20th) was then sent, under command of General 
 Hooker, to join Sherman at Chattanooga. To follow his career through 
 " Sherman's march to the sea " would be to give an outline sketch of 
 the victories, privations, marches, etc., of that renowned campaign, 
 the principal of which were Resaca, Cassville, Dallas, Peach-Tree 
 Creek, and Atlanta, and the taking of Savannah, followed by the march 
 through the Carolinas, and the capture and surrender of Johnston's 
 army. 
 
 During the campaign in South Carolina, for gallant and meritorious 
 conduct, he was brevetted brigadier general with rank from March, 
 1S65. 
 
 Gen. Crane was mustered out of the service in June, 1865, and re- 
 turned home.

 In the fall of the same year he opened a private bank under the name 
 of N. M. Crane & Co., now known as Crane's Bank. 
 
 He was one of the organizers and first president of the Hornellsville 
 Water Company, through his means and personal efforts the present 
 excellent system of water works in Hornellsville was constructed, and 
 has since been managed by himself and son. He is also president of 
 " The New York State Mutual Benefit Association of Syracuse," and 
 has so been since its organization. 
 
 Upon the organization of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, at Bath, 
 N. Y., Gen Crane was appointed by Governor Robinson as one of the 
 nine trustees, and is also the treasurer of that institution. 
 
 Gen. Crane has been identified with the Republican party since its 
 organization, though not in any sense of the term a professional poli- 
 tican . 
 
 In the year 1852, October 19, he married Marie Louise, second 
 daughter of Matthew MacDowell, of Wayne, Steuben county, a lady of 
 rare culture, and descended from English ancestry on the maternal, and 
 Scotch ancestry on the paternal side. 
 
 Their children are Sidney H., Marion Louise, and Guy Mac Dowell. 
 
 Hon. Harlo Hakes was born in Harpersfield, Delaware county, N. 
 Y., September 23, 1823. He spent his time until about twenty-eight 
 j*ears of age upon his father's farm, attending school winters until he 
 was seventeen, and was for eight successive terms a teacher. In the 
 year 1851, he entered the office of Rufus King, of Davenport, Delaware 
 county, as law student, where he remained nearly two years. He then 
 became a student with Judge Harris, of Albany, and after attending one 
 course of lectures at the Albany Law School, was admitted to the bar, 
 1853, and in May of the same year settled in Hornellsville, where he 
 has remained in the practice of his profession until the present time. 
 
 In the year 1855. Mr. Hakes married Mary, youngest daughter of J. 
 D. Chandler, of Hornellsville. Their children are M. Evelyn, Hattie 
 V., and Carrie M. 
 
 Mr. Hakes was chosen to represent his assembly district in the state 
 legislature for the year 1856, and served on the judiciary committee during 
 the term. In 1 862 he was elected district attorney of the county, which 
 office he held for three years. During the year 1865 he associated with 
 him in the law business James H. Stevens, Jr., a gentleman of fine 
 legal ability. This firm enjoyed a very large law practice in this and 
 surrounding counties during the term of partnership . 
 
 In the year 1867, Mr. Hakes was appointed registrar in bankruptcy 
 for the twenty-ninth congressional district. He has been somewhat 
 active in political circles, and interested in questions affecting the chan- 
 ges in our nation's history. He was originally a member of the Whig 
 
380 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 party, and was a delegate to the Baltimore convention that nominated 
 Bell and Everett for president and vice-president, since which time he 
 has been a supporter of the Republican part}', and its representative of 
 the twenty-ninth congressional district of New York ; was a member 
 of the Cincinnati convention in the 3-ear 1876 that made Hon. Ruther- 
 ford B. Hayes the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United 
 States. 
 
 In addition to his professional and official duties, he has been thorough- 
 ly identified with the growing interests of the city of Hornellsville, and 
 largely interested in real estate." In 1873 he opened "Hakes avenue." 
 connecting Main and Genesee streets, and donated it to the then village, 
 and since that time has purchased and improved that portion of the city 
 known as "Riverside," and opened and graded the street called "Riv- 
 erside Place," connecting Main with Elm streets, where he has built 
 several substantial dwellings. 
 
 In 1883 Mr. Hakes was elected to the office of Steuben County Judge 
 for the term of six years, and, in 18S9 the confidence of the people was 
 again expressed by re-electing him by an emphatic vote to the same office, 
 which he now holds. His keen perception, sound judgment, strictinteg 
 rity and fair dealing have secured to him a large measure of success and 
 the confidence of the community. 
 
 James Humphrey Stevens, a prominent lawyer of Hornellsville, and 
 attorney for the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company, 
 was born in Dansville, Steuben county, N. Y., July 11, 1827. He is 
 the son of James H. Stevens, a native of Warwick, Mass., who re- 
 moved in early life to the state of Xew York and settled in Steuben 
 county, where at first he taught school for several years. 
 
 James H. Stevens, Sr., married a young lady named Sally Wilson, a 
 native of Shoreham, Addison county, Vt. , whom he met while she was on 
 a visit to friends in Steuben count}-. The marriage was solemnized in 
 Vermont after she returned home. The couple then returned to Steu- 
 ben county, where Mr. Stevens bought a farm and engaged in agricul- 
 tural pursuits. The homestead thus founded has remained in possess- 
 ion of the family down to the present day, and was the residence of Mr. 
 Stevens who died at the venerable age of ninety -three years. 
 
 The subject of this sketch, after attending select schools in the neigh- 
 borhood of his home, was prepared for college at the Rogersville Union 
 Seminary (still a flourishing institution), which stood on land formerly 
 a part of his father's farm. This land, which \-oung Stevens as a boy 
 had helped to clear, was given by his father to the institution when it 
 was founded. 
 
 Completing the course at the Seminary and at Alfred University, 
 where he finished his education, he taught eight winter terms in village 
 
TOWN* OF HORNELLSVILLE. 381 
 
 and district schools. He then entered the law school at Ballston Spa., 
 where he sat under the tuition of Professors Fowler, Hayden and other 
 distinguished men. From this institution, on January 5, 1852, he was 
 admitted to the bar. 
 
 Restraining his ambition until he had mastered the routine duties of 
 his new profession by actual contact with them, he entered the office of 
 the late Judge David Rumsey, of Bath, with whom he remained until the 
 ensuing fall. He then returned to Dansville, where he was born, and 
 shortly afterward was chosen town superintendent of schools, an office 
 he held until the fall of 1853, when he removed to Hornellsville, where 
 he entered the office of the Hon. John K. Hale, a practitioner of con- 
 siderable note, with whom he remained nearly a year. In April, 1854, 
 he formed a law partnership with Horace Bemis, which remained in 
 force until January 1 , 1S64, at which date Mr. Stevens bought his part- 
 ner's interest in the firm. He then formed a partnership with Harlo 
 Hakes, now the Count3 r Judge of Steuben county. In 1879 this part- 
 nership was dissolved. 
 
 He next associated himself in business with his brother, Charles W. 
 Stevens, and the firm, under the style of J. H. & C. W. Stevens, still 
 continues. Both of the gentlemen composing it are accomplished law- 
 yers, and each has contributed his full share toward making it a suc- 
 cess. The firm is widely known in the western part of the state, and is 
 entrusted with many cases of a highly important nature. 
 
 In March, 1S85, Mr. Stevens was appointed to the office of attorney 
 for the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad Company, and has 
 filled the position ever since. In politics he is a Democrat, and since 
 his residence in Hornellsville has frequently consented to run for minor 
 offices, and has been elected. One of the positions he held was that of 
 president of the village of Hornellsville. He has also been chairman 
 of the board of supervisors of Steuben county. With these exceptions 
 he has never held public office. 
 
 On three occasions he was honored by his party with the nomination 
 for county judge, and on the last was defeated by only about three hun- 
 dred votes. Before this he was nominated for the assembly, but failed 
 of election, owing, as in the other cases, to the great preponderance of 
 Republicans in his district. 
 
 Mr. Stevens has a very large legal business to engross his time and 
 attention, and in consequence can hardly be said to have specially de- 
 sired election to public office. The professional success which has at- 
 tended the career of Mr. Stevens is largely attributable to unceasing 
 industry and firmness of purpose, covering a period of more than thirty- 
 five years, added to the strictest integrity in all the varied transactions 
 of his business and professional life.

 As a trial lawyer he has no peer in his native county, and no supe- 
 rior in any of the counties in Western New York. Before a jury he is 
 in all cases conceded to be a dangerous but fair adversary, clear and 
 frank in his statements, convincing and eloquent in his manner and de- 
 livery. It is seldom that a jury reach a conclusion not in harmony 
 with his arguments. He is a gentleman of scholarly tastes, of unblem- 
 ished reputation and high social standing. 
 
 He has been twice married, but has no issue. His first wife was 
 Amanda Artman, of Sparta, Livingston county, X. Y., whom he mar- 
 ried September 24, 1858. She died April 2, 1879. He married his 
 second wife August 10, 1881. She was formerly Mrs. Allie F. Collum, 
 of West Union , Fayette county, Iowa. 
 
 Alvin L- Berry was born in McDonough, Chenango count3', X. Y., 
 January 6, 1831. He settled here in 1858, where he has since been 
 engaged in farming and lumbering. He married Adeline A., daughter 
 of Elias Hopkins. 
 
 Christian L. Keller, son of Daniel, was born in Rhenish Prussia, June 
 2, 1824, and came to this country with his father's family in the ship 
 " Bolivar, " landing in New York about July 20, 1S36. The family 
 came direct to Buffalo by way of the Hudson river and the Erie canal. 
 Here he learned the tanners' trade, and in August, 185S, came to Hor- 
 nellsville where he has since resided. 
 
 Henry F. Howard was born in Angelica, Allegany county, April 9, 
 1 835 , and was educated in Buffalo where* his parents removed the year 
 after his birth. The family came to Hornellsville in 1847, and for two 
 years his father, Lemuel Howard kept the Eagle Tavern on Main street, 
 known then as the "Magee stand." They then moved to Almond. and 
 in i860, the subject of this sketch returned to Hornellsville and entered 
 the employ of the Erie company, in the bridge department. On August 
 10, 1 861, while working on the machine shop of this company at Hor- 
 nellsville, Mr. Howard had a sun stroke and fell from the roof to the 
 ground and received an injury to the spine which completely paralyzed 
 his lower limbs. In 1862 he was elected town collector and continued in 
 the office until 1869. That year he was elected police justice andfilled 
 that office for eight years, or until the city charter was granted. In 
 March, 1862, he embarked in the boot and shoe trade on Main street in 
 partnership with his son, F. L- Howard, and later moved to their pres- 
 ent place of business, 58 Canisteo street. They also conducted for one 
 year, a branch store in Olean. Mr. Howard married Miss Harriet Lin- 
 coln of Fulton, Oswego county. They have two sons, Frank L. and 
 Robert K., who are prominent among the stirring young business men 
 of Hornellsville. 
 
 Mark E. Dunning was born in the the town of Almond, Allegany 
 
TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 383 
 
 county, in August, 1850. In 1861 he came to Hornellsville where he 
 attended the Hornell Academy, and has since resided here. For twenty 
 3'ears he has been in the insurance business and since 1 88 2 in the firm of 
 Hollands & Dunning, one of the strongest agencies in Western New 
 York. Mr. Dunning married Maggie, daughter of C. Fairbanks. 
 
 John Prentiss was born in Altay, Schuyler county, N. Y., in 1837. 
 In May, 1861, he enlisted in Company G., 23rd Regt. N. Y. Vols., and 
 served two years. He re-entered the service in May, 1864 as first lieu- 
 tenant of Company F. ,179th Regt. N.Y. Vols. Hewasmade quarter-mas- 
 ter of the regiment, and was commissioned captain, June 17, 1864 and 
 served until the fall of that year when he was obliged to resign on ac- 
 count of poor health. His death occurred June 1 7 , 1879. A comrade 
 says of him: "He was an honorable man, a good citizen, a brave soldier: 
 and none knew him better or appreciated his worth more than his 
 comrades in arms." 
 
 Robert K. Faulkner was born in the town of Dansville, Steuben 
 county, X. Y., on October 6, 1842. He remained on the farm with 
 his parents until he was about twenty -three years old, when he came 
 to Hornellsville, where he has since lived. He first engaged in the 
 flour and feed business, which in a short time was changed to the gro- 
 cery trade, in which he has continued ever since. Mr. Faulkner has al- 
 ways been one of the formost business men to advance the interest and 
 welfare of Hornellsville, and has taken an active part in the adminis- 
 tration of her public affairs. For three years 1876 '77 and '78 he was 
 chief of the fire department and was twice elected president of the vil- 
 lage in the years 1883 and 1884. Politically, Mr. Faulkner has always 
 been a Republican. In the year 1886 he was elected county clerk after 
 one of the hottest and closest campaigns in the history of Steuben county 
 politics, and he is now considered one of the leaders of his party in 
 this section. 
 
 George Hollands was born in Sussex county, England, on January 
 9, 1 84 1. His parents, William and Charlotte Hollands, with a family 
 of six children came to this country in the year 1850. Soon after their 
 arrival they found their way to Mansfield, Tioga county, Pa., where 
 they have since resided. Four more children were born to them after 
 their arrival in this country- Mr. and Mrs. Hollands arestill living and 
 are in their eightieth and seventy-seventh year of age, respectively. Ow- 
 ing to the stringency of the times in those days, Mr. Hollands found it 
 difficult to support so large a family. Consequently the elder children 
 were compelled to find homes among the farmers in the surrounding 
 neighborhood. George Hollands, the subject of this sketch, at the age 
 of eleven years found a home with a respectable farmer, with whom he 
 was to live until twenty-one j-ears of age, with the understanding that 
 
384 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 he was to receive a good common school education, and when he be- 
 came of age he was to have a good suit of clothes and $100 in money. 
 In September, 1861 , he left the harvest field and enlisted in Company B. 
 of the 101st Pa. Vols. His elder brother Charles had previously enlisted 
 and in December, 1862 was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg. Mr. 
 Hollands enlisted as a private and arose to the rank of first lieutenant, 
 was in many prominent battles of the war, was wounded at the battle of 
 Fair Oaks in 1S62 and taken prisoner at the surrender of Plymouth, N. 
 C, on April 20, 1864. He was an inmate of Andersonville and Flor- 
 ence prisons until the following December, and has never recovered from 
 the exposure and suffering of thatterrible summer. He was shipwrecked 
 in the Potomac river, while on his way to join his regiment in April, 
 1865, and was only saved from a watery grave by clinging to the mast 
 of the ship all night, where he was picked up in an exhausted condition 
 by a United States gunboat the following morning. Mr. Hollands was 
 discharged from the service in July, 1865, thus having served his coun- 
 try in active warfare for nearly four years .At the close of the war Mr. 
 Hollands embarked in the grocery business at Hornellsville, under the 
 firm name of Hollands & Fletcher, occup3-ing what was then known as 
 the old " Mammoth Store, " opposite the Park. On January 2, 1S66, 
 he married Miss Lydia Baiiey of Mansfield. Pa. Five children were 
 born to them, viz.: Minnie, now the wife of Charles H. Smith of Mid- 
 dletown, New York; Eva and Robert, who died of diphtheria, in Oct. 
 1876; the two youngest sons, George Jr., and Burr, aged fifteen and thir- 
 teen respectively, are promising students in the Hornellsville schools. 
 Mr. Hollands is an enterprising citizen, a man of sober and industrious 
 habits and possesses good business qualifications. He is a prominent 
 member of the First M. E. Church of Hornellsville and has held the po- 
 sition of trustee of said church continuously for the past fifteen years. 
 He has held many minor positions of trust and responsiblity, and in no 
 instance has he ever betrayed the trust confided to him. He has always 
 been a prominent and active member of the Republican party, and has 
 had the honor of representing his ward as village trustee for six years 
 prior to the organization of the city. In 1879 he was elected to the im- 
 portant office of county superintendent of the poor, in which capacity 
 he served three years. In 1886 he very ably represented the town of 
 Hornellsville on the board of supervisors. He was commander of Doty 
 Post No. 226, G. A. R., for two years, 1889 and '90. He was one of 
 the incorporators of the Hornell Sanitarium Co., (Limited) and is at 
 present one of its directors and its treasurer. 
 
 Dorr Faulkner, son of the late John and Lucinda (Lemen) Faulkner, 
 was born in the township of Dansville, this county, July 31 , 1838. He 
 was educated at Rogersville Union Seminary and at Dansville (Living- 
 
'€0 /(042£&&w&£f 
 
TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 385 
 
 ston county) Seminary. When the war broke out Mr. Faulkner en- 
 listed in Co. B, 136th Regt. N. Y. Vols., was severely wounded in 
 the battle of Gettysburgh, and was discharged after one year's service. 
 He came home and remained upon the farm some years. In 186S, in 
 company with his cousin, Robert K. Faulkner, he engaged in the pro- 
 duce business in Hornellsville, subsequently adding groceries. When 
 this partnership was dissolved, Mr. Faulkner went west and was in- 
 terested in the manufacture of sash and blinds. Upon his return to the 
 east, he received an appointment in the railway mail service in Feb- 
 ruary, 1S73, an( i continued a faithful and trusted employee in this im- 
 portant branch of the government service until March, 1882, when he 
 engaged in the furniture and undertaking business, which he still con- 
 ducts. On May 23, 1S77, he married Letitia, daughter of Erastus Gro- 
 ver. and niece of the late Judge Grover of Angelica. 
 
 Lot Reznor was born in Canandaigua, X. Y., November 2, 1S3S, 
 and graduated from the schools of that place. In May, 1862, he en- 
 listed in the iSth Regt. X. Y. Inft. Vols, for two years. He served 
 hi< time and re-enlisted in the 15th Regt. X. Y. Cav., in which heserved 
 until the close of the war. Fc- six years after the war Mr. Reznor was 
 engaged in the manufacture of oil at Cleveland, O. He then came to 
 Arkport and embarked in the mercantile business. For fifteen years he 
 was postmaster, and is now serving as magistrate. 
 
 James B. Day, the present mayor of the city of Hornellsville. was 
 born at Union, Broome county, X. Y., in the year 1847. His father 
 was a native of the State of Massachusetts and his mother a native of 
 Broome county, X. Y. 
 
 The subject of this sketch attended common schools at Union and 
 completed his education in the public schools in Binghamton. 
 
 He went to the city of Xew York at the age of twenty-one years and 
 was soon placed on the police force of that citj', a position which he 
 held for seven years. 
 
 In 1S74 he resigned that position and removed to, and became a per- 
 manent resident of Hornellsville, engaging in and conducting a success- 
 ful business, and now stands in the front rank of business men of the 
 city. 
 
 He was chief engineer of the Hornellsville Fire Department for two 
 years, and held the office of president of the village of Hornellsville for 
 three terms. In 1888, when Hornellsville became a city, Mr. Day be- 
 came its first mayor for the term of two 3 r ears and was re-elected to the 
 same position which he now holds. In 1872 Mr. Day was married to 
 Miss Jennie L. Twaddell, by whom he had three children, none of 
 whom are now living. 
 
 In politics Mayor Day has always been a Democrat and an earnest 
 
386 TOWN OF HORNEIXSVIIXE. 
 
 and zealous worker for the principles of his party. Socially he is a gen- 
 tleman of polite and attractive manner and always surrounded by warm 
 and true friends, conspicuous among whom was the late popular John 
 McDougall. 
 
 Othaniel Preston, whose portrait appears here, was born in 182 2 in a log 
 house on the banks of the Genesee river, on which a portion of the city of 
 Rochester now stands. He moved into the county of Steuben with 
 his parents when he was but twelve years old, and settled on a farm in 
 the town of South Dansville. His younger days were spent on the 
 farm, working in summer, and in winter attending the district schools, 
 which then were of the rudest kind. By close attention to his studies 
 he had acquired sufficient education at eighteen years of age to teach 
 school, which he did for several winters, applying himself to farming in 
 the summer months. Mr. Preston has twice acquired, by his own in- 
 dustry and economy, a fair competence, and has twice been completely- 
 ruined financially. He and his two sons. H. C. and O. Preston. Jr., 
 came to Hornellsville about eighteen years since without a dollar, and 
 formed the Hollow Cable Manufacturing Company. The subject of 
 this sketch was then fifty -three years old, an age at which most men 
 seek retirement from active business. Xot so with Mr. Preston, who 
 according to his own statement, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, 
 and went in to win back that which he had lost, and with the aid of his 
 two sons above named, he did win Sioo.ooo or more, if the testimony 
 of his neighbors and the appearance of his two manufacturing estab- 
 lishments are good evidence, and he says he has ' 'just begun to make 
 a little money. ' ' Their wire goods, consisting of braided barbies? fence 
 wire, hollow cable wire clothes lines and braided wire box bands, of 
 which they are the inventors and patentees, are sold in almost every 
 town and city in the United States. They have a good standing as 
 "business men both at home and abroad. The elder Preston is a man of 
 iron nerve and unflinching integrity, whose word is as good as his bond. 
 He would rather take the unpopular side of a righteous cause than have 
 all the honors that wealth and power might bring to him by defending in- 
 justice and wrong. Hence he is not popular with men who stop at 
 nothing to satisfy their greed for gain, but is loved and -respected by 
 the poor and lowly, whose friend he is and always was. 
 
 Joseph B. Woodbury was born in the town of Exeter, Otsego county, 
 N. Y., October 21, 1826. When about two years of age his parents 
 removed to New Hartford, Oneida county, where they resided until 
 1830, when they took up their residence in Winfield, Herkimer county, 
 and continued to reside there until 1841. While living there, the sub- 
 ject of this sketch attended the common school, where he evinced a tal- 
 ent for learning far in advance of his years, and was always at the head 
 
(P $r€Jfaxt ^ 
 
TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 387 
 
 of his classes. On February 3, 1841, the family commenced a journey 
 to the — then comparatively new — town of Jasper, in this county, and 
 reached their destination after six days travel. 
 
 Reared on a farm, Mr. Woodbury was trained,to habits of industry, 
 which through his whole life he has never relinquished, and which, in 
 connection with his sound judgment and clear foresight in matters of 
 business, have brought him abundant reward in repeated financial suc- 
 cesses. He attended school until nineteen years of age, a portion of the 
 time at a select school in Addison, under the tutorship of Col. John W. 
 Dininny. His school days ended, Mr. Woodbury engaged in lumbering 
 until twenty-five years of age, when he became interested in fanning. 
 He also took up the trade of mason and worked at it for eight years. 
 
 Having purchased a farm in the town of Jasper, he continued to re- 
 side upon it until April 9, 1 S62, when he moved to the village of Green- 
 wood to engage in the milling business, having previously bought the 
 Stephens mill in that village. He remained here twelve years, managing 
 in connection with his mill, large lumbering and farming interests. He 
 then retired from these pursuits, built a house in the village of Green- 
 wood, and invested largely in oil lands, owning at one time one hun- 
 dred and twent3'-three acres in the oil belt in Pennsylvania, and an in- 
 terest in thirty-six oil wells. 
 
 The days of the oil excitement in Pennsylvania are fresh in the 
 memories of most of us. Great fortunes were made in a day, and 
 many fortunes vanished in less time than it took to acquire them. 
 Thousands invested all they possessed — oftentimes the fruit of years of 
 toil and patient hording — to see it swept forever away. In view of the 
 frequency of such results Mr. Woodbury was earnestly besought and 
 entreated by his friends and near relatives to refrain from investing — 
 as he sometimes hinted he should — the accumulated property of his life 
 in so hazardous a speculation. However, on careful investigation he 
 found his opportunity, and with characteristic decisiveness suffered it 
 not to pass unimproved. The result was a prompt and handsome re- 
 turn, largely exceeding his most sanguine hopes. He now owns a half 
 interest in one hundred and fifty acres of oil land near Oil City, Pa., 
 soon to be developed, and retains an interest in twenty-nine of the 
 thirty -six wells before mentioned. Seeing the rapid emigration to the 
 western states after the close of the war, and conscious of the increase 
 in the value of western lands which must necessarily follow the settle- 
 ment of that section, he began to place some of his capital there. 
 
 Among his earliest speculations was one in land in the state of Iowa, 
 where he purchased two thousand and one hundred acres in Woodbury 
 county. On an investment of $4,500 he realized within a few years, 
 upwards of $40,000. Mr. Woodbury then bought two thousand acres 
 
388 TOWN" OF HORXELLSVILLE. 
 
 of pine timber land in the state of Michigan which he held for twelve 
 years. This purchase was made in partnership with the late Hon. John 
 Davis, of Greenwood. He is now in possession of two thousand acres 
 of land in one of the most fruitful sections of the state of Nebraska, and 
 the owner of a large flouring mill at Ord, in that state. He is also in- 
 terested in the First National Bank of Ord, of which institution he was 
 one of the originators. Of late years much of his time has been spent 
 in a personal supervision of the improvement of his western property. 
 
 On December 31, 1886, Mr. Woodbury took up his residence in Hor- 
 nellsville. He is a director and one of the executive board of the Citi- 
 zens' National Bank, of Hornellsville. He never aspired to hold po- 
 litical office, though often urged by his townsmen to accept. The ex- 
 tent of his private business, seconded by a distaste for public office, 
 precluded the acceptance. He married first, Man' M., daughter of the 
 late Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Greenwood, on November 11. 
 1S51. Of this union two sons were born, viz.: Merritt A., of Andover. 
 N. Y. , and Martin F., of Sauk Centre, Minn. Mrs. Woodbury died 
 May 2S, 1SS2. His present wife was Mary, daughter of the late Hon. 
 Redmond S. Davis, also of Greenwood. 
 
 Trained in the rugged school of experience, Mr. Woodbury's judg- 
 ment of men and events seldom misleads him. Self-reliant, sagacious, 
 bold yet cautious; practical, methodical, using experience to sharpen 
 foresight — these are among his prominent traits of character — the ju- 
 dicious exercise of which has brought him the abundant prosperity he 
 now enjoys. 
 
 Charles A. Dolson* was born at Bath, Steuben county. N. Y., in 
 1S51. His father Dr. J. S. Dolson now of Hornellsville, N. Y., has 
 been for many years one of the recognized leaders of the Republican 
 party in western New York, and occupies an eminent position as a phy- 
 sician and surgeon. The son seems to inherit to a large extent the 
 leading characteristics of the father, except his politics. 
 
 At the close of his school life, Mr. Dolson chose the profession of 
 law, and on his admission to the bar in 1S72, settled at Andover, N.Y., 
 and entered at once upon a successful career, speedily attaining an en- 
 viable position as an advocate and strong trial lawyer. He soon after- 
 ward formed a partnership with Hon. D. P. Richardson of Angelica , 
 N. Y., then and now one of the leading lawyers of Allegany county. 
 This relation existed about three years, the firm being engaged in many 
 important litigations and assuming a front rank among the law firms 
 of western New York. 
 
 ^Furnished by S. McArthur Xorton, Count} - Judge and Surrogate of Allegany 
 County. 
 
TOWX OF HORXELLSVILLE. 389 
 
 In 1875 Mr. Dolson, desiring a larger field, removed to Elmira, N. 
 Y., where he remained several years, attaining a prominent position 
 among the noted bar of that city, and being engaged in many of the 
 important trial.s pitted against such lawyers as David B. Hill, Erastus 
 Hart and other prominent men in the profession. Upon leaving Elmira 
 he returned to Andover, where for several years he devoted a large part 
 of his time to the management of an extensive stock farm. 
 
 But Mr. Dolson 's former clientage would not permit his legal abilities 
 become rusty, and, somewhat against his inclination, he was forced 
 back into the practice. It was perhaps, during his practice at Andover 
 thus resumed, that his abilities in the law, and particularly in the 
 criminal branch became justly recognized. 
 
 In 1888, Hon. Horace Bemis having died suddenly, Mr. Dolson re- 
 moved to Hornellsville and the firm of Dolson & Orcutt was estab- 
 lished, the firm being engaged in many large and important cases. 
 This arrangement continued until the beginning of the present year, 
 since which time Mr. Dolson has been alone. He is now one of the 
 ■city attorneys. 
 
 During Mr. Dolson 's legal career he has been engaged in and suc- 
 cessfully managed several homicide cases, among them the Crow case 
 in Pennsylvania, where the defendant, Edward Crow, was indicted for 
 homicide. Mr. Dolson conducted the defense and succeeded in procur- 
 ing a verdict of involuntary manslaughter, the lowest form of homicide 
 under the laws of that state, his client being sentenced to only five 
 3~ears imprisonment, although the commonwealth had established con- 
 •clusively to the mind of the bar of McKean county, where the case was 
 tried , all the elements required to convict of murder in the first degree . In 
 the trial of Griffin, in Allegany count}', indicted for murder of one Feller, 
 he assisted the District Attorney, and by his masterly cross-examina- 
 tion of the defendant's witnesses, broke down a seemingly strong the- 
 ory of the defense, that Feller died by his own hand, and secured a 
 conviction. 
 
 Mr. Dolson has never taken a very lively interest in politics and has 
 never sought political office, preferring to give his whole attention to the 
 •duties of his profession. Nevertheless his party once placed him in nom- 
 ination for the office of district attorney of Allegany county, where an 
 election on the Democratic ticket is an impossibility, he running ahead 
 •of his ticket in each of the twenty-nine towns, showing the high appre- 
 ciation the people of the county have for his abilities. 
 
 Few men of the age of Charles A. Dolson, have obtained such suc- 
 cess in their chosen profession and acquired such an enviable reputation 
 for skill in the conduct of a trial and for forensic ability. He has a 
 liappy faculty of clearly and forcibly stating a legal proposition, and is 
 
390 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 able to hold the interested attention of the court during a long argu- 
 ment, a quality possessed by few lawyers. As an advocate before a jury- 
 he is logical, eloquent and pursuasive, and a dangerous opponent. His 
 services are much sought after in criminal cases, and he has also made 
 will contests a particular study. Mr. Dolson is one of the great young 
 men in the legal profession, and one who is destined to become, by the 
 force of his ambition and brilliant abilities, on an equality with the 
 foremost in that great calling. 
 
 George N. Orcutt was born in the town of Troy, Orleans county, Yt., 
 Jul}' 13, 1856. The family for many generations both in the paternal, 
 and maternal lines were natives of Xew England. His father, Dr.. 
 Hiram C. Orcutt, who died at Hornellsville, October 25, 1884, was a. 
 type and product of the earl 5^ Xew England civilization. Success, 
 attended him in all his relations in life, a success due to his energy ,, 
 self-reliance and Yankee shrewdness, aided by a rigid morality and a 
 mode of life that reflected in simplicity the teachings of his Quakeress, 
 mother. 
 
 Mr. Orcutt 's mother, nee Helen M. George, has contributed prose and

 He was not only one of the best known citizens of Hornellsville, but 
 his reputation extended throughout the states, both in political and 
 business circles, his frank and honorable nature, coupled with great 
 energy and sagacity, making him a valuable factor in both. He pos- 
 sessed all the characteristics of the hardy, energetic race, whence he 
 sprung. The impress of Mr. McDougall's energy and intellect was left 
 upon every year's growth of Hornellsville, from the time he became a 
 resident here until his death. -Besides his many local enterprises, he 
 was interested in chemical works in Allegany with Messrs. Hilton and 
 Sherwood, at Hiltonville. He formed another partnership with Mr.

 works in the country, known as the Cadosia Chemical Works. Mr. 
 McDougall was first president of the R. H. & L,. R. R., and was deep- 
 ly interested in every public enterprise, to which he lent his influence 
 and contributed generously of his means. The " Hornellsville Tri- 
 bune," in an editorial on the occasion of his death, says : 
 
 ' ' Here we take opportunity to pay the parting tribute to the memory 
 of a personal friend, and to a citizen whose ever}' heart-throb beat for 
 the prosperity of the people with whom he had cast his fortunes, and 
 for whom he had always a fervent and sincere regard and an honest de- 
 sire for their prosperity and success. The one overwhelming desire of 
 his heart was the growth and progress of our beautiful city. * * * 
 Poor in all material wealth, he came to Hornellsville and has grown 
 rich in the esteem, the love and heartfelt respect of his neighbors. With 
 open hand and energy of spirit he has embarked in every enterprise that 
 promised to aid in the rapid development of our city ; and every enter- 
 prise that felt his vigor behind it went on to assured success." 
 
 Physicians. — Dr. John Stearns Jamison was born in the town of 
 Canisteo, Steuben county, N. Y., July 25, 1S22. His grandfather, 
 Capt. John Jamison, an account of whom may be found in the history 
 of Canisteo, was born in Durham, Bucks county, Pa., December 3, 
 1753. His father, John D. Jamison, born in Canisteo, August 10, 
 1797, was second in a family of nine children ; was married to Eliza- 
 beth, daughter of John Stearns, in July, 1821. Ofthisunion were born 
 four sons and one daughter, of whom Doctor Jamison was the eldest. 
 His father enlisted in the war of 1 8 1 2 , served only a few days when the 
 war closed. He was a farmer, was a member of the Democratic party, 
 and for many years served the people of his town as magistrate. He 
 died in Canisteo, December 14, 1856. 
 
 Doctor Jamison received his early education at the common school, 
 at the Clyde Academy and at the academy at Nunda, N. Y. He was of 
 the first half dozen boys who left Canisteo in the early '30's to seek an 
 academic education, himself obliged to work for the money to cover the 
 expenses thus incurred. His health failing him while at Nunda, he

 was obliged to give up his much coveted idea of a graduating course at 
 Union College, and for one year was a teacher in the common school, 
 and some five years an instructor in penmanship and book-keeping. 
 By the latter means he paid his wa}-, not only at school, but in his sub- 
 sequent medical studies. Among his pupils was Don Cameron, after- 
 ward United States Senator, to whom the doctor gave his first instruc- 
 tion in penmanship, also Ceo. Washington Bigler late Governor of 
 California. 
 
 In the year 1S47 he began the study of medicine with Dr. D. D. Da- 
 vis of Canisteo, attended lectures at Buffalo Medical College and Mich- 
 igan University, and was graduated M. D. from the latter institution in 
 April. 1852, and has since been a member of its Alumni Society. He 
 at once began the practice of medicine in Canisteo, but after one year 
 came to Hornellsville, where he has remained until the present time 
 and during the thirty-six years he has followed his profession in Hor- 
 nellsville he has retained the confidence of a large circle of the citizens 
 of this and adjoining counties. 
 
 May 4, 1861, Dr. Jamison entered the service of the United States as 
 assistant army surgeon at the rendezvous at Elmira, and was subse- 
 quently placed in charge as examining surgeon of the volunteer force or- 
 ganizing and quartered at that place. In the fall of the same year he 
 accompanied the 86th New York Volunteers to Washington as surgeon 
 of the regiment, with commission dattl October 12, 1S61, remaining 
 there until his regiment was called into active service at the second bat- 
 tle of Bull Run, when he was a volunteer prisoner in rebel lines for 
 eleven days, during which time he established a Field Hospital at Van 
 Pelt House, and under a flag of truce released, accompanying the last 
 of the wounded off the field to the General Hospitals at Alexandria and 
 Washington. Dr. Jamison remained with his regiment during his term 
 of service of three years, being often detached as division surgeon, spend- 
 ing nearly two years of his term of service as such. For his skill and 
 medical ability, by special orders of S. Williams, assistant adjutant gen- 
 eral, by command of Maj. Gen. Mead, he was appointed on the Board 
 of Examiners for the purpose of examining medical officers of the army. 
 For these and other services he was complimented very highly in an 
 official document by the medical director of the army of the Potomac, 
 and especially for the detailed report given of everything occuring in 
 the division which in a remote degree affected the medical department. 
 Dr. Jamison, by virtueof the order of Major General Hancock, of April 
 2, 1864, as Surgeon in Chief of Division, was made a member of the 
 Medical Board for the purpose of examining all applicants for leave of 
 absence, discharge, or transfer to the Veteran Reserve Corps, by reason 
 of physical disability.

 In the summer of 1862, while his regiment was doing Provost Guard 
 duty for the District of Columbia — General Wadsworth in command — 
 Dr. Jamison foresaw the necessity of a hospital for the colored people 
 who had escaped from the rebel lines and were coming to Washington 
 in large numbers, destitute of food and suitable clothing, and without 
 shelter, while many were sick and suffering from a long period of depri- 
 vation. Dr. Jamison noticing a long block of empty buildings in front 
 of the capital, called Duff Green Rowe, conceived the plan of using the 
 building for a rendezvous and hospital for the colored strangers. He 
 suggested the plan to General Wadsworth, who, assisted by Vice-Presi- 
 dent Hamlin and the president of the ' ' Freedmen's Bureau, ' ' this build- 
 ing was secured and General Wadsworth ordered the doctor to put it in 
 sanitary condition, which he did, and soon had the hospital department 
 in effective operation. By intuition of the public this institution was 
 called the "Contraband Hospital." It was visited and examined by 
 representatives of many English and European papers and was very 
 favorably commented upon by the foreign press as well as throughout 
 the United States. The above work was done by Dr. Jamison in addi- 
 tion to his official services as detailed Brigade Surgeon. 
 
 On account of his large operative experience and skillful treatment of 
 cases as Surgeon-in-Chief of division of the third army corps, Dr. Jami- 
 son, in June, 1866, was requested by George A.Otis, Surgeon and Brevet- 
 Lieutenant Colonel United States Volunteers, to contribute to his official 
 reports, of his operations and interesting cases during the war. 
 
 Upon the expiration of his term of service he returned home and re- 
 sumed the practice of his profession which he still continues. In 1873, 
 he was appointed United States pension- examiner at Hornellsville, 
 which position he still retains. In 1890 he was elected a delegate by 
 the Xew York State Medical Asssociation to the International Med- 
 ical Congress at Berlin, but on account of a dangerous illness he was 
 unable to attend . He was made the recipient of a beautiful bronze medal 
 to commemorate this circumstance. 
 
 Dr. Jamison is a Republican in politics and has always been inter- 
 ested in the questions affecting any change in our nation's history. On 
 May 26, 1845, he married Lavinia, daughter of Abij ah Newman, of 
 Schuyler count}', N. Y. Their only child is Newman Catlin Jamison, 
 general agent of the Pullman Palace Car Company, who makes his home 
 in Hornellsville. Mrs. Jamison died October 22, 1887.

 still in the active practice of medicine and surgery and ranks high in the 
 profession in Steuben count}'. He is a cultured gentleman, of high 
 social standing and is justly noted for his fine taste in arts, a devoted

 lover of nature, and his beautiful home is made attractive to all by his 
 culture of trees and flowers, the latter being partly the outgrowth of his 
 practical knowledge of botany, which the numerous herbariums now

 lished in 1873 by O. Preston Sr., and H. C.Preston. The present 
 company was organized in 1S76, and the present works built in the fall 
 of iSSS. The building is of brick, 40x140 and two stories high. Fif- 
 teen men are employed in the manufacturing department. This com- 
 pany manufactures barbless fence wire, hollow cable clothes lines, and 
 braided box-bands. Their fence wire is a safe, handsome, strong and 
 cheap wire, and second to none in the market. Their are no barbs, it 
 does not sag nor break, and is very desirable. It is made of Xo. 13 
 spring steel galvanized wire, and its tensile strength is 2.263 pounds. 
 Four sizes of wire clothes lines are manufactured here, and a braided, 
 wire box-band, or web. They manufacture daily, five tons of fence 
 wire. 
 
 St. Julian Gear Company was established in 1SS0, with works located 
 on the corner of Cass and Buffalo streets. They manufacture fine 
 carriages, buggies, road wagons, etc.. etc., and employ about forty 
 men. 
 
 The International Bottling Works commenced business attheir present 
 location on Cass street, under the management of John Lisman. In 
 July, iSSS, M. J. Pendergast, the present proprietor assumed the 
 management. Four men are employed, and the business amounts to 
 S25,coo annually. 
 
 A. M. Elba/id's Planing and Matching Mill at Arkport, was built by 
 Mr. Eiband in 18S4. It is furnished with a fifteen horse-power engine 
 and with all the improved machinery for planing, matching, turning 
 and scroll sawing, and also for the manufacture of mouldings. Lumber 
 for building, and all kinds of ornamental wood work is prepared here 
 on short notice. 
 
 Faulkner & Wiilctfs Creamery, located near the foot of Main street, 
 was established in the spring of 1S86, and possesses the most approved 
 methods for the manufacture of butter. The capacity of the creamery 
 is about two thousand pounds a day. 
 
 The Underwear Manufacturing Company was established July 1, 1888, 
 for the manufacture of ladies' fine underwear . The officers are F. D. 
 Sherwood, president ; G. D. Terry, treasurer ; W. F. Sherwood, gen-

 eral manager. This factory gives employment to seventy -five hands, 
 mostly women and girls. 
 
 The Rockland Silk Mills were established here in 1888 by the present 
 proprietor, Edwin S. Brown, and are for the manufacture of what is 
 known as "organzine" and "tram." That is, the warp and filling for 
 ribbons and silk goods. This is an important industry, and the only 
 mill of its kind in this section. One hundred hands are employed, and 
 the cash value of the daily product of the mills is about $800. The 
 material used is mostly imported. 
 
 The Hornell Iron Works were established in 1889 by John O. Adsit, 
 the present owner. They manufacture pulleys, shafting and hangers; 
 gray iron castings, forgings, and do general jobbing and machine work. 
 The manufacture of electrical and experimental machinery is made a 
 specialty. About forty hands receive employment here. 
 
 The Buffalo Fence- Wire Manufacturing Company, organized in 1890, 
 began business in June, the same year, in the large brick building at 
 the head of Thacher street, formerly the O'Conner carriage-seat factory. 
 The patents for this fence-wire were taken out by Dr. W. E. and Mr. 
 Edgar F. Hathaway. This wire is strong, ornamental, durable and 
 cheap. It consists of three strands of steel wire, well galvanized; it is 
 easily put up, needs but little stretching and will not sag. When used 
 as a top wire for a barb wire fence it is readily seen and gives notice to 
 stock that their is a fence there, saving them from rushing heedlessly on 
 the barbs. It is more durable, ornamental and cheaper than the board 
 which is used as a warning and a top rail on almost every new barb 
 wire fence that the prudent farmer erects. It is especially adapted for 
 the ornamental fencing of gardens, lawns or door yards, and for this 
 purpose alone is meeting with a heavy demand. The factory is turn- 
 ing out about twenty tons per week. 
 
 The Postage Stamp A/fixer Company's Works, established in Septem- 
 ber, 1890, are among the most interesting of the establishments in this 
 city. The machines manufactured are of two devices especially ; one 
 is for affixing and the other for vending postage stamps . The machines 
 are a model of ingenuity, handsome in design, and of convenient size. 
 The works are under the management of Mr. King. The company is 
 prepared to do all kinds of machine repairs. A glance at the products 
 of this firm will show that they are capable of doing the most delicate 
 work . 
 
 Merrill Fabric Glove Company. — This establishment for the manufac- 
 ture of silk gloves and mitts, was built in the winter of 1890-91. The 
 company was organized December 17, 1889. 
 
 Kennedy's Market Gardens and Greenhouses are located on the Canis- 
 teo flat, midway between the city of Hornellsville. and the village of 
 
402 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 Canisteo. The plot includes eighty-five acres. There are 5,500 cubic 
 feet under glass, and the strictest attention is given to the cultivation of 
 vegetable and flowering plants. Floral pieces are made up here on 
 short notice, and cut flowers may be procured at all times. 
 
 Banks. 
 The First National Bank of Homellsville was organized November 31 , 
 1863, and opened for business May 1, 1864. The present officers are : 
 Martin Adsit, president; Charles Adsit cashier. 
 
 The Bank of Homellsville was gpened for business Februrary 1, 1875, 
 F. G. Babcock, president; W. E. Pittenger, cashier. 
 
 The Citizens' National Bank of Homellsville was organized in 1881, 
 with a capital stock of $125,000. John Santee, president; J. S. McMas- 
 ter, cashier. The present officers are Charles Cadogan, president; J. E. 
 B. Santee, cashier. 
 
 N. M. Crane & Co's. Batik is one of the substantial monetary institu- 
 tions in Western New York. The officers are : N.M.Crane, presi- 
 dent, and S. H. Crane, cashier. 
 
 Schools* — The first school in Homellsville of which we have any ac- 
 count, was the direct result of the intelligence and enterprise of Judge 
 George Hornell, and was started under his patronage about the year 
 1 8 10. This school was taught by Miss Sarah Thacher, a woman of 
 fine ability and of scholastic attainments far in advance of the privileges 
 of a frontier settlement. The building was a block house and stood 
 near the junction of Main and Arkport streets. Miss Thacher, who 
 was a sister of Deacon Mowry Thacher, became the wife of George 
 Hornell, Jr. 
 
 District Xo. 7 was thereafter formed as it has since remained, and 
 the first school after the formation of the district was taught by Dud- 
 ley Miller in a log house on Canisteo street, which stood on the 
 site of the present South Side Chapel. This school was succeeded 
 by one taught in a house of hewn logs which stood at the foot of Main 
 street. Rev. George Hornell, son of Judge Hornell, was the first teach- 
 er in that house. He received an academic education at Newtown 
 (Elmira), studied law at Bath and at Rochester, was admitted to the 
 bar in 1813, and, as above stated, married Miss Thacher the following 
 year. Being converted, he proposed himself for the ministry, and was 
 licensed by the Presb5 T tery in 1826, to preach. Mr. Hornell was suc- 
 ceeded in the school by Uriah Stephens, James Osborne, Solomon 
 Head and John Huntington. It appears that the next school in the 
 district occupied a position near the Presbyterian church. Rev. Sam-

 nel White was the first teacher here, and was followed by James Os- 
 borne, Mr. Case, Mary Morris, Parmelia Stephens, Mowry Thacher, 
 Dr. John S. Livermore, Dr. Thomas and Orange McKay. Dr. Livermore 
 ■was a brother of Mrs. Mowry Thacher, and a son of Esquire A. Liver- 
 more, the pioneer poet of this section, whose poetic effusions on current 
 events of his time form interesting reading to-day. 
 
 In 1833, a lot was purchased for forty dollars at the junction of Canis- 
 teo and Broad streets, and a school house 22x28 feet was built at a cost 
 of about two hundred dollars. This building was a long step in advance 
 of any former educational edifice seen in these parts, and was designed 
 by Ira Davenport. The pedagogues who in this ' ' noisy mansion skilled 
 to rule," were Washington Cruger, Samuel Porter, H. V. R. Lord, 
 Samuel Street, Hiram Bennett, Hiram Hood, John McAlmont, Mr. 
 Reeves and Oscar B. Clark. Eleven years later the ground at present 
 occupied by the Hornell Free Academy was purchased of George Hor- 
 nelland a very pretentious wooden structure erected. This house was 
 first occupied by Oscar B. Clark, followed successively by Samuel Street, 
 E. B. Coon, Albert E. Crane, Darius Ford, Myron Hurlbut, N. S. Scott, 
 Horace Beemis, Joel Merriman, Redmond Stephens, R. R. Rork, Will- 
 iam Rogers, Mr. Baker, Erastus Williams, J. H. Strong, and B. C. Rude. 
 The framed building referred to, was sometime before the war, supplanted 
 by an ugh- brick building which was built in front of and connected 
 with it. Both were destroyed b)- fire in the spring of 1862. In a short 
 time a large edifice was erected, which, soon being insufficient to accom- 
 modate the pupils, was later enlarged by an addition in the rear. In 
 1885 the building fronting the park was declared to be unsafe, and the 
 present fine school building, which is a model of convenience, good ven- 
 tilation and comfort, erected. Mr. Rude was succeeded by the follow- 
 ing teachers: Miss Elizabeth Bartholomew, Rev. S. D. Booram, H. J. 
 Danforth, A. G. Harrington, Mr. Murphy, W. T. Dunmore, D. L. Free- 
 born, O. A. Simpson and W. R. Prentice, the present principal and 
 superintendent of city schools. 
 
 The public schools of Hornellsville, by a special act of the legislature 
 are organized as a graded school and placed under the control of three 
 trustees as a board of education, who hold office for three years, one 
 trustee being elected each 5'ear. To the graded school an academic de- 
 partment, subject to the visitation of the Regents, was added, and the 
 first regents examination was held in November, 1872. There are now 
 four buildings occupied by the public schools. 
 
 Hornellsville Busiyiess and Short Hand College .—This institution was 
 
 - opened July 17, 1888, in the Park School building. It then provided 
 
 only the business course. In November of the same year a short-hand 
 
 school that had been in operation for some months was purchased and the 
 
404 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 school thus enlarged moved into McHenry Hall. The increased atten- 
 dance soon called for still more room, and in September, 1890, the 
 school was removed into its present quarters, in the post-office building, 
 corner of Main and Church streets, where commodious rooms had been 
 especially fitted for it. Departments of Telegraph y and Mechanical 
 Drawing were opened, and arrangements are being made for opening 
 other departments that seem to be demanded. The school is doing a 
 high grade of work and its graduates are very successful in filling im- 
 portant business situations. Its aim is to raise the standard of business 
 college work, and to keep abreast with the progress of business and ed- 
 ucation. 
 
 T. M. Davis, A. M. (Alfred University) , is the founder and princi- 
 pal of the college. He is a teacher of long and varied experience as 
 well as a practical business man. H. C. Ford, Ph. B. (Alfred Univer- 
 sity) is the secretary. He is an experienced and wide-awake busi- 
 ness man. These two gentlemen own and manage the school, and with 
 their efficient assistants have built up an enviable reputation for the col- 
 lege. 
 
 The courses of stud}- include Business Course, Short-hand and Type- 
 writing, Telegraphy and Mechanical Drawing. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 The First Baptist Church of ' Hornellsville .—This society was organized 
 October 15, 1852, with a membership of fourteen persons, and Rev. 
 Thomas S. Sheardow r n, pastor. During his pastorate of one year, thirty 
 were added b3 r letter, baptism, etc. Elder Sheardown says: 
 
 ' ' We engaged a hall on Main street for a place of worship . It was well 
 located, but in some respects was not a desirable place, for, like all 
 public halls in such villages, it was used through the week for all kinds 
 of performances. Sometimes, when I went to attend worship on Sab- 
 bath morning, I would find theatrical apparatus , curtains and paintings, 
 as Xh<zy had been left on Saturday night. But we kept on laboring, and 
 things began to look favorable." 
 
 The present membership is four hundred and fourty-six. There is a 
 chapel located on Canisteo street, which is in charge of this society, 
 that was dedicated in 1884. The value of the entire property, includ- 
 ing parsonage and chapel is $28,000. 
 
 Rev. Jesse A. Hungate the present pastor of this church is the oldest 
 son of Rev. James DePau and Phoebe Jane Hungate. He was born in 
 Salem, 111., May 20, 1858. His father has spent the greater portion of 
 his life under the American Baptist Home Mission Society, laboring in 
 Illinois, Nebraska, Oregon, California and Kansas. In these states, 
 except the last, the subject of this sketch grew up. He was educated 
 in Blair High School, (Blair, Neb.) Madison (now Colgate) University 
 and Hamilton Theological Seminary, Hamilton, N. Y., graduating

 from the latter institution in 1885. After his high school course he 
 taught for three years in the free schools of Nebraska. The last year 
 he was principal of the graded school at Lyons, Burt county. He was 
 licensed to preach by the First Baptist church of Blair, Nebraska, and 
 resigning his position as teacher he entered college in the fall of 1877. 
 
 First Baptist Church. 
 
 After finishing his college course he accepted a commission under the 
 American Baptist Home Mission Society and labored for two years in 
 Boone county, Nebraska, with headquarters at Albion. Here he was 
 ordained on November 4, 1880. During his labors upon this field the 
 membership increased over two hundred percent., a church was organ- 
 ized and a building erected and dedicated at Cedar Rapids. 
 
 In 1882 he entered upon his theological course of study. While pur- 
 suing this he acted constantly as a pastoral supply at Schuyler's Lake 
 and Springfield Centre, Otsego county, and Walton, Delaware county. 
 This last church he was supplying at the time of his graduation and re- 
 mained with it about a year afterwards. During this time some thirty 
 united with the church and a large and beautiful parsonge was built. 
 
 In the summer of 1886 he accepted a call to the pastorate of the Dun- 
 dee Baptist Church (Dundee, Yates county), a difficult field with an un- 
 fortunate history behind it. During his ministry here over one hun- 
 dred and thirty united with the church and a new and elegant church 
 building was erected and other property secured amounting to $25,000, 
 
406 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 all free of debt. This pastorate, which had now become pleasant and 
 profitable, he resigned to accept the urgent call of the First Baptist 
 Church in Hornellsville, N. Y., in November, 1890. 
 
 The Hornellsville pastorate, at this writing, is less than nine months 
 old; but in this time about fifty have united with the church, a parson- 
 age has been bought and the church is planning large things for itself 
 as well as for its mission in the south part of the city. Mr. Hungate's 
 congregations are large, the evening congregations often taxing the ca- 
 pacity of the building. His sermons in the morning are uniformly read 
 from a carefully prepared manuscript, with whichhe is perfectly familiar.. 
 In his evening service he uses neither manuscript, notes or pulpit : but 
 stands as a man in the presence of his fellow-men seeking to help them, 
 not b}- cant or sensations, but by a candid and manly exposition and 
 application of the Scriptures. 
 
 Mr. Hungate has travelled very largely throughout our own country 
 with his eyes open. He was married in 1884 to Miss Lillian L. Lidell 
 of Schuyler's Lake, Otsego county, N. Y. Of this union two children: 
 have been born, one of which died in infancy. 
 
 The First Presbyterian Church of Hornellsville. — This church was or- 
 ganized July 10, 1S32, with twenty-eight original members. Chauncey 
 B. Smith and Mowry Thacher were ordained elders, and each continued 
 to officiate in that capacity until his death. Of the original members, 
 not one survives. 
 
 The first church edifice, 38 X49 feet, was erected in 1S34. In 1S64. 
 it was enlarged by extending its audience room and building lecture 
 room and parlors. In 187 1 its central tower was removed and a new 
 front erected. In 1875 a third enlargement was made. The present 
 pastor is Rev. Edward M. Deems and the present membership four hun- 
 dred. The value of the church property including parsonage is 
 $40,000. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1830. Their first: 
 meetings were held in private residences and in school-houses till their 
 church edifice was erected. This society has a membership of about 
 seven hundred and is said to be the largest belonging to the Genesee 
 conference. The value of the property is about $25,000. 
 
 St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church . — In 1S43, Father Benedict Bayer 
 came here from Rochester and said mass at Thomas Doorley's, at 
 Webb's Crossing. Subsequently he came and officiated in the old 
 school-house where the academy now stands. From 1844 to 1849, 
 Father McAvoy paid quarterly visits here. In 1849, Rev. Michael 
 O'Brien came and built a little brick church 30x40, on Cass street, cor- 
 ner of Buffalo. After two years he was followed by Father McCabe 
 and six months later Father Daniel Moore came and remained twc»

 years. He was followed by Father McGlew who remained for two 
 years also. Father Keenan was the next priest. He remained eight 
 years and doubled the size of the church by an addition. Then followed 
 fathers Lawton, Gregg and Story, each remaining one year. Father 
 Creeden built the church situated on the corner of Elm and Erie avenue 
 and a convent and school-house on the opposite corner. Father Creeden 
 came from Auburn, where he was a great friend of William H. Seward. 
 He died in 1S70 and was succeeded by Rev. William McNab, who en- 
 larged the school to twice its original size. Father McNab remained 
 two 3-ears and was succeeded by Rev. Francis Clark, who left here in 
 1879. In November of that year Rev. James M. Early was appointed 
 priest in charge, and remained here until his death in Februar5 r , 1890. 
 The church was enlarged during his pastorate. In August of that 
 year, Rev. James O'Laughlin, the present pastor, assumed charge. 
 There are five hundred families connected with this charge. The school 
 building is substantially built of brick, 122 x 48 feet, two stories high. 
 There are three hundred scholars enrolled and six teachers are em- 
 ployed. 
 
 Christ Episcopal Church. — This parish was organized March 6, 1854. 
 The first rector was Rev. James Robinson, who was in charge about 
 four years. On January 1, 1859, Rev. Floyd Windsor, D. D., became 
 the rector and remained with the parish until his death in 1S89. The 
 present membership is two hundred and twenty-seven or one hundred 
 and sixty -seven families. The church property is valued at about $26,- 
 000. Dr. Floyd Windsor was born October 8, 18 1 2. He was a graduate 
 of Columbia college and spent more than half a century in the ministry, 
 thirty years of it as the rector of Christ church at Hornellsville. He 
 was a man of scholarly attainments and was beloved by the entire com- 
 munity. 
 
 The Pirsbytcriau Church of Arkport was organized in 1852. The pres- 
 ent pastor is E. C. Hull and present membership eighty. The church 
 property, including parsonage, is valued at $3,500. 
 
 East Avenue M. E. Church, built in 1885, is located in a section of 
 the city, which, within the last few years, has become thickly popu- 
 lated. The church has a membership of one hundred and fifty. The 
 value of church property is about $3,000. 
 
 St. Paul's Lutheran Church is located on Elm street, at the corner ot 
 John. It is a commodious brick structure, built in 1886, at a cost of 
 $15,000. It has a membership of fifty families. The present pastor is 
 Rev. G. E. Schettler. 
 
 Hartshorn Chapel was built by Charles Hartshorn, and completed in 
 November, 1888. The cost of the structure, which Mr. Hartshorn as- 
 sumed, was $6,000. It has a seating capacity of three hundred. A 
 
408 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 church was organized under the Presbytery, February 17, 1891, with 
 thirty-five members, calling themselves the Hartshorn Presbyterian 
 Church. The present pastor is Rev. William Veenscoten. 
 
 Hornellsville Railroad Y. M. C. A. — The rooms of this association are 
 pleasantly located on Broad street, where services are held every Sun- 
 day afternoon, and social singing on Saturday evenings. In addition 
 to the parlors and reading-room, is a circulating library containing five 
 hundred and fifty volumes. There is a " Boys Branch" having a mem- 
 bership of sixty -four, and a separate room. The membership of the as- 
 sociation, exclusive of the Boys* Branch, is three hundred and fif- 
 teen. A periodical called "The Pusher," is issued monthly under the 
 auspices of the association, and has a large circulation among railroad 
 men. The present Secretary, F. T. Kirkland, assumed the duties of 
 his position in the summer of 1890. 
 
 Public Institutions . 
 St. James Mercy Hospital. — Through the generosity of the late Father 
 Early, Hornellsville came in possession of the above institution, which 
 was established shortly after Father Earley's death. Nearly all of the 
 physicians of the city are connected with the institution, either as prac- 
 ticing or consulting physicians. The house is in charge of the Sisters 
 of Mercy. 
 
 The Hornell Library, one of the most creditable institutions of which 
 the city boasts, and which has been no small factor in cultivating the 
 literary tastes of the people of this community, was organized April 8, 
 1868, by about fifteen young men who had been instrumental in organ- 
 izing and sustaining for several years a series of lecture courses. The 
 association now owns a brick block on Canisteo street opposite the park. 
 The library, which contains ten thousand volumes, occupies one floor 
 of this block. Itwas made a free library in 1889, and books can now 
 be drawn by any resident of the city or tax -payer of the town. 
 
 The Hornell Sanitarium Company, Limited. — The Sanitarium, now 
 well established, may be considered one of the leading institutions of 
 the city of Hornellsville, and we might add, of the state. Its new 
 building, a cut of which is given, is the most prominent one in the city. 
 The company was incorporated to supply a want seriously felt in this 
 country. There are many sanitariums throughout the states, and all of 
 them are doing good work. Very few, if any, however, combine in 
 one institution the benefit of a model health resort; the usual and ap- 
 proved sanitarium practice, and the advantages of a first-class hospital. 
 The Hornell Sanitarium includes all these advantages in one institution. 
 A pleasanter location than that occupied by the new building can not 
 well be found. It is on high ground, overlooking one of the most beau-

 tiful valleys in the state, and while but a few minutes' walk from the 
 business portions of the city, it is sufficiently removed to avoid the an- 
 noyances and noise of a thriving city. The ground is dry and well 
 drained. A park often acres of natural hard-wood trees lies around the 
 building, through which roads and paths have been laid out. Al- 
 though located on high ground, still higher grounds lie north and west, 
 protecting it from the severe cold winds of winter. 
 
 The Sanitarium building is a model one of its kind. Advantage has 
 been taken of the experiences of other institutions, so that the new 
 building is nearly perfect. It is built of brick and made substantially 
 fire proof. Only one fire is used in the building, and that in the kitchen , a 
 specially prepared fire-proof room. It is lighted by electricity and 
 warmed by a new and improved system. A large rotary fan, located 
 outside of the building, forces fresh air through a steam coil of nearly a 
 mile of pipe. The air thus warmed passes through flues in the brick 
 partition walls to each room, which it enters near the ceiling with suf- 
 ficient pressure to force out from the bottom the cold or foul air. The 
 atmosphere of the whole building is changed every ten minutes, thus 
 securing perfect ventilation without open doors or windows. In sum- 
 mer the fan will supply cool air to every room. 
 
 In connection with this system of air supply, there is a very valuable 
 and ingenious method for medicating and disinfecting the air in any 
 room. This is done by placing desirable remedies in the flues through 
 which the air is forced, and by which it is absorbed, so that the air en- 
 ters the room charged bj- the remedy. Oxygen, carbolic acid, creo- 
 sote, balsam, etc., can be used to better advantage in this way than by 
 the usual breathing and inhaling methods, and the patient will live and 
 sleep in an atmosphere specially fitted for his case. 
 
 The sanitarium treatment equals in all respects the most successful 
 sanitarium practice of the country, but it will not depend wholly on the 
 so-called Sanitarium practice. It is apparent that very many chronic 
 cases require thorough treatment by skilled physicians and surgeons, 
 to secure successful results. The Sanitarium will therefore combine 
 with the practice common to such institutions the benefits of a first- 
 class hospital practice. Its medical board is a very strong one, and in- 
 cludes well known physicians and surgeons of many years' experience. 
 
 The Sanitarium Co. are exclusive proprietors of some very valuable 
 remedies and methods of treatment that had been used in private prac- 
 tice in Hornellsville for many years. The}' have been materially im- 
 proved by the Company's skilled physicians, and are believed to be far 
 superior to any other remedy or treatment, for certain purposes. A 
 very severe test of their value has been made since the company was 
 organized. Nearly all the cases treated in the Sanitarium so far, have 
 
410 TOWN OF HORNELLSVILLE. 
 
 been extreme cases, in the last stages of disease, and which had been pro- 
 nounced incurable by other physicians. Most of them went to the San- 
 itarium as a last resort. And yet, under these extreme and unfavor- 
 able conditions the success of the treatment has been most remarkable 
 and unprecedented. 
 
 While these remedies are deemed of great value, the Sanitarium will 
 use any and all other remedies that will aid in effecting cures, or per- 
 manent benefit. It is not wedded to an}- particular system. 
 
 The sanitarium system for removing and curing cancerous tumors is 
 deserving of special mention, as 'this class of tumors is rapidly increas- 
 ing. It differs from all other treatment, in that it discards the use of 
 the knife, or burning caustics and avoids all danger of hemorrhage. It 
 does not mutilate the body. Direct application is made to the cancer, 
 by which it is " killed " and changed into a clean, hard dry eschar, 
 which, as it shrinks and hardens, separates from the health}' tissue and 
 is crowded out, in one mass, by the healthy granulations or healing. 
 There is no sloughing or poulticing, and all offensive odor is at once 
 removed. The pain is slight and the treatment mild. The remedy 
 follows every cell of the cancer until it is all removed. A single cell, 
 if left, will soon form a new growth, and this is why cancer removed by 
 the knife or caustics so often returns. 
 
 The treatment of cancer by local application has received the ap- 
 proval of the most eminent pathologists of the world, and is now com- 
 mended in preference to the knife. The Sanitarium has treated a large 
 number of cases of every kind with the greatest success, and its physi- 
 cians insist that cancer can be easily and permanently cured, if only 
 treated in time. Separate apartments are provided for this class of 
 cases. 
 
 The Sanitarium has had equal success in the treatment of rheuma- 
 tism, eczema, general debility, disease of the generative organs, opium 
 habit, mental and nervous disease, physical development of children, 
 and other forms of chronic disease. Many of its cures have been truely 
 remarkable. 
 
 The great advantage of such an institution in the treatment of chronic 
 cases, as compared with home treatment, are plainly apparent. It is 
 better provided with the necessary instruments and devices for discov- 
 ering and treating disease than any home physician can be. Its pa- 
 tients are constantly under the eye of the physician, who has a chance 
 to study each case and closely watch the effects of treatment. It pro- 
 vides the joint skill and experience of a medical board acting in har- 
 mony. Its patients are removed from business and domestic cares, 
 and make a business of getting well which cannot be done at home. It 
 commands the benefit of ever}- kind of baths, massage, electric, hy-

 gienic and other treatment, some of which are necessary in treating 
 chronic diseases. The diet, exercise and habits of every patient are 
 prescribed so as to aid a recover} 7 , which can rarely be done in 
 home treatment, and as a matter of economy, the Sanitarium is far 
 ahead of home treatment. So much less time is taken to benefit and 
 cure the patient that the cost in the end is much less. 
 
 The managers of the Sanitarium have made its charges reasonable, 
 taking into consideration the advantages it offers. They are not influ- 
 enced solely by a desire to make money, indeed we believe that the in- 
 vestment is a secondary consideration with them. 
 
 Among the managers, we note Drs. Baker, Ellison and Mitchell, all 
 well known in Western New York as physicians and surgeons of high 
 standing. Mr. Walter G. Rose is one of Hornellsville's oldest business 
 men and widely known. He has been closely identified with the inter- 
 ests of Hornellsville for over forty years, and no resident of that city is 
 more respected. John M. Finch, the president of the company, was 
 connected with the Erie road for over thirty years, in the responsible 
 and difficult position of land and tax agent. George Hollands is well 
 known among Grand Army men, and for man;' years has been a suc- 
 cessful business man. We give elsewhere sketches of these gentlemen. 
 X. P. T. Finch was for a long time one of the proprietors and editors 
 of the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, which has been since the war, the 
 leading newspaper of the south. The connection of these men with the 
 institution is a sufficient guaranty that it will be properly and success- 
 fully conducted. 
 
 The institution has already been of great benefit to the city of Hor- 
 nellsville, drawing as it does, large numbers of strangers there, who for 
 a time, if not permanently, make it their home. 
 
 Hornellsville Farmers' Club. — The growth of this club and its success 
 have been the wonder of the people everywhere. Its first regular meet- 
 ing was held February 20, 1884, at which a constitution and by-laws 
 were adopted. Early in 1885, steps were taken toward the incorpora- 
 tion of the club, and the securing of land where annual fairs might be 
 held. A lease was secitred of the Jones Driving Park for a term of 
 years, and large and commodious buildings erected. Some of the most 
 successful fairs ever held in the state have been held by this association 
 and very large premiums have been paid by them. 
 
 A highly important feature of the work of this club is its discussions 
 which take place on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Here 
 practical farmers give their experiences and express their opinions free- 
 ly upon subjects of vital interest, which are selected by a committee of 
 their own members, months before the date on which they are expected 
 to be publicly discussed. These discussions are fully reported in the

 "Farmers' Club Journal," a paper of wide circulation issued by the as- 
 sociation. The present officers are L.A.Waldo, president; C.H.Wom- 
 bough, vice-president; C. K. Mason, secretary; Charles Adsit, treasu- 
 rer; H. C. Sawyer, assistant secretary. 
 
 Hornellsville Water Works. — The Hornellsville water works, owned 
 by a private company, were constructed in 1882, and are of the system 
 known in hydraulic engineering as the gravity system. The reservoir 
 storage of this company is 60,000,000 gallons, hence it is far in excess 
 of the present needs of the city, and is ample for a population of more 
 than fifty thousand. There are t\venty miles of mains, one hundred and 
 thirty -two fire hydrants with a pressure to the square inch of ninety-five 
 pounds. Few cities are favored with so abundant a supply of whole- 
 some, soft spring water as is Hornellsville. 
 
 Arkport village is located in the north part of the town of Hornells- 
 ville near the Dansville line. It is a station on the Buffalo division of 
 N. Y., L. E. & \V. R. R., and also on the Rochester, Lackawanna & 
 Hornellsville Railway. It contains two churches, Presbyterian and 
 Protestant Methodist, a hotel, a school, four general stores, a hardware 
 store, drug store, jeweler's store, grocery, three blacksmith shops, two 
 steam saw-mills, grist-mill, planing and matching-mill, and three pro- 
 duce warehouses. It was formerly the head of ark navigation on the 
 Canisteo, hence its name. 
 
 HOWARD is an interior town of the county, located a little north- 
 west of the centre. It was erected from Bath and Dansville, June 
 18, 18 1 2. A part of Avoca was taken off in 1843, and a part of 
 Fremont in 1854. It is bounded north by Fremont, Cohocton and 
 Avoca, east by Bath, south by Canisteo, and west by Hornellsville and 
 a portion of Fremont. Its surface is mostly a rolling upland, forming 
 a part of the dividing ridge between the Conhocton and Canisteo rivers. 
 In the northeast part of the town are two small ponds, the waters of 
 which unite with creeks near that section of the town formerly known 
 as Goff's Mills. The soil of this town is a cla}-ey loam. At Howard 
 Flats, though high, the soil is of a great depth. In a deep valley south 
 of the flats the declivity of the hills shows the debris and outcropping of 
 shale and slate. The streams are all small, and flow into the Conhoc- 
 ton and Canisteo rivers. The population of the town in 1890 was 1 ,934. 
 Early Settlement. — The first settler in this town was Abraham John- 
 son,* who came here in the winter of 1806. Mr. Johnson was a young 
 
 *Mr. Johnson, it is related in all the former histories of Howard, was the first set- 
 tler and 1806 is given as the date of his settlement. It was asserted by Mrs. Phoebe 
 Travis, who died in 1S88, at the great age of one hundred and four years, that she 
 settled here with her husband in 1805. A man named Hovey had previously made 
 a clearing of about three acres where Mr. Travis settled, but had left it.

 married man and brought his wife with him to commence life in their 
 wilderness home. He settled in that part of the town known as Towles- 
 ville, on what was afterward known as the Eben Towle farm. 
 
 Reuben and Abraham Smith, Abel Bullard, Jacob and Thomas Ben- 
 nett, Charles McConnell, Simeon McMurty and a Mr. Colegrove settled 
 here in 1808 ; Samuel Baker — who removed to the Canisteo river about 
 1830 — Joel Bullard, Benjamin Bennett, Ephraim Rumsey, William Al- 
 len, Daniel N. Bennett, Jonas and Seth Rice, and Nathan Corey in 
 1810-11; and Simeon Bacon, William Goff, Israel Baldwin and Rufus 
 Halsey, in 181 2. Among others who settled here soon after, were John 
 Hamilton — who came from Otsego county and died here in 1845 — Daniel 
 Bennett, Isaac Bennett, Deacon William Allan, Harry Paulding, Simeon 
 Holmes, Jacob Winne, Roswell Tichnor — who lived near Smith's pond, 
 now in Avoca — John Madole, David, Richard and William Smith, John 
 and Abraham Hoagland, Jabez A. Beebe and his father, Charles Bebee, 
 Job Rathbun, Samuel Allen, Elisha Wilbur— who lived at what is now 
 Sharp's Corner, and subsequently moved beyond Hornellsville — Luke 
 Vorhees and Abel Bullard. 
 
 We give below the names of some of the residents of the town in 
 1823-24: Jonathan Allen, trom Mohawk valley, who settled in the 
 north part of the town; Reuben Allen, now living on Neil's creek, and 
 Simeon and Noah Baker. John Steveson lived about two miles north 
 of Howard village, and Stephen Begel settled near him. Steveson was 
 an early settler, and for many years was the only man for some distance 
 around who owned a horse. He used to send his boys to mill with his 
 neighbor's grist, while his neighbors, to recompense him, would work a 
 day or more on his farm. David Persons, a wagon-maker, lived about 
 a mile and a half north of the village. James Rider and John Davis 
 who lived in what is now Fremont; Thomas and Jesse Madole, who 
 lived at "Job's Corners, "and Adam Harter.from the Mohawk, were here 
 at that date. Jacob G. Winne, after living at the pond settlement, lo- 
 cated in the western part of the town. Isaac, son of Jacob Bennett, and 
 Hugh McCullum.were school commissioners of the town in 1824. Ly- 
 man and Allen Covey lived in the west part of the town, until 1835 
 when they moved to the state of Michigan. Augustus Olmsted, a 
 wagon-maker, was here about 1825. He was also a merchant and jus- 
 tice of the peace. He died in 1853. John Willis was here previous to 
 1830, and kept a public house. Eziel Barnes, an early settler, was a 
 carpenter and joiner. Joseph Franklin and Eber Bartholemew lived at 
 "Job's Corners," and Peter Miller about a mile northwest of Howard 
 village. Henry Cotton lived in what is now Fremont. Asa Goff, Sr. 
 was an early settler. Joshua Dart came from Blossburgh, Pa., about 
 1820, and settled on the turnpike. Thomas Taylor, an early settler, is

 still living in the south part of the town. Sylvester McFall, who lived 
 north of the flats, moved to Pennsylvania. James Clisbee lived near 
 the Avoca line. Malcom McNorton, a Scotchman, lived near "Job's 
 Corners," and Cyrus Ranger was an early settler. Byron L. Harlow 
 lived on Big Creek, then known as "Harlow creek." He moved to 
 the westarn states. Randall Graves, a merchant here, died about 1830. 
 He and his brother, Calvin Graves, built the house that stands at the 
 junction of the Bath road and the road leading to Sharp's corners. It 
 was a store and dwelling combined. This was the first store kept in 
 Howard. Dr. Comfort E. Beldeo was an earfy practitioner here and 
 for a short time kept a hotel. He moved to Hornellsville, where he 
 practiced his profession for several years. John D. Collier, once a resi- 
 dent here, died at Castile, Wyoming county. Nicholas Van Brunt was 
 one of the early blacksmiths. Thomas J. Smith, betterknownas"Jeff" 
 Smith, lived with his father, Robert Smith, below Towlesville and sub- 
 sequently moved west. John W. Whiting, an inspector of militia, lived 
 south of the turnpike. Jonathan Robinson, a mason, and Elbridge,his 
 brother, lived on the turnpike. They, with a number of others became 
 converts to the Mormon faith. Abraham Rose, Benjamin Wilbur, 
 Joseph Cole and James R. Goodrich were early settlers. Robert White, 
 Jeremiah Glover, Andrew Stuart — the latter now living, — Richard 
 Hoagland, Joseph Burnham, who was a lumberman and general mer- 
 chant at Towlesville; Isaac Loghry, Monroe and Horace Willis, Thomas 
 Patterson, John DeGroff, Mansfield Hopper, Dexter Pratt, Thomas 
 McAdam, Reuben Woodruff, Robert Walker, Gurdon Munsell, Alex- 
 ander Gilchrist, Arza Chase, Daniel McLean, a Scotchman, David 
 Miller and Joseph Miller— the latter killed by the falling of a tree — were 
 all early settlers in the town. Henry Freelove came from Cayuga 
 county in 1830, and settled south of the turnpike. Charles Graves was 
 an early hotel keeper, and his son, Alvinzo, succeeded him in the busi- 
 ness. 
 
 Early Items. — The first school that was taught in the town, was in a 
 little log school-house which stood near the residence of Aaron McCon- 
 nell. This house was used for a number of years when it was sup- 
 planted by a framed building. About the time this school was established 
 in the village, there was also a school opened in Towlesville. After 1820 
 there were schools organized in other parts of the town. In 1835 an 
 academy was built at Howard village, which stood a little above the 
 Baptist church, on the opposite side of the highway. One Dupark was 
 the principal, with a corps of competent teachers. 
 
 The first saw-mill erected in the town was built by Henry Kennedy, 
 about 1809-10, on the creek running to Kanona, about three miles east- 
 erly from Howard village. This enabled the people to get boards and

 slabs to cover their log houses, and occasionally a settler would build a 
 little board shanty. Before the saw-mill was built, cabins were roofed 
 with slabs of split timber, with a few exceptions. The first grist-mill 
 was built by William Goff, probably about 1813. Mr. Goff settled on 
 the road leading from Bath to Howard, where he secured the water 
 privilege at that place, known ever since the erection of his mill, as 
 GofFs Mills. Isaac Bennett erected a small log tavern on the corner of 
 the street leading to the Baptist church. This hotel consisted of one 
 room below and sleeping rooms above. About that time another log 
 tavern was built by Benjamin Bennett, called the ' ' Double Log Tavern. ' ' 
 It stood on the farm known as the Philip Bennett farm. These two log 
 hotels were kept some time before the framed hotel, now kept by J. 
 Wells, was built. The latter was built by Jonathan Ketchum, probably 
 about i8i3to 1815. Ketchum also built a small tannery which was 
 operated for some years. A man named Redpath had a tannery below 
 GofFs Mills at the fork of the roads leading to Bath, previous to 1817. 
 Job Rathbun, who had a farm of three hundred acres in the north part 
 of the town, had a distillery in what is known as the ' ' old castle. ' ' This 
 building was erected for a residence, but before the establishment of the 
 county institution for the care of the poor, paupers of the town were kept 
 by contract by Alfred Rathbun, who used this building for that purpose. 
 Early town meetings were held at Job Rathbun 's, where George Wessel 
 now lives. 
 
 In the early days of Howard, the religious sentiment was largely com- 
 posed of the Christian denomination, and their ministers were mission- 
 aries, holding meetings in private dwellings, barns, and the little log 
 school-houses. Elder Buzzell was one of the first ministers who preached ■ 
 in this town. It is said that the first sermon ever delivered in the town 
 was probably preached by Rev. Samuel Parker, a missionary, in 1810. 
 The first town meeting was held in April, 1813, at the residence or ho- 
 tel of Simeon Bacon, who then lived on the Daniel Hamilton farm. 
 Local tradition asserts that Thomas Bennett was elected the first super- 
 visor.* The town records for the years prior to 1823 cannot be found, 
 hence a full list of the first town officers cannot be given. 
 
 Biographical. — Amasa Travis was born September 30, 1777, and mar- 
 ried December 14, 1800. His wife Phoebe was born in Duchess (now 
 Putnam) county, December 25, 1783. After several unsuccessful 
 "starts " in different localities, the young couple set out with horse 
 and wagon for Western New York. Mrs. Travis used to relate many 
 amusing incidents which occurred on the trip, which took place in the 
 year 1805. As they came through Chemung Narrows, near Corning,

 the river having overflowed its banks and covered the road, the horse's 
 feet could not touch the bottom. For a few seconds they were in im- 
 minent peril, but Mr. Travis guided his horse safely to land. They 
 proceeded through an almost unbroken wilderness until they arrived at 
 Campbelltown, where a small clearing had been made; reached Bath, 
 which contained but very few houses, crossed the Conhocton river at 
 Kanona, where there was then no evidence of a village, and arrived at 
 Mr. Vaughn's — the Chamberlain farm — the last chopping until they 
 reached Howard. They occupied a place which had been in possession 
 of a Mr. Hove}'. He had chopped about three acres, and had put up a 
 log house, which had only one gable end boarded up; a floor had been 
 laid, except around the fireplace; no ceiling, no doors. Mr. Travis 
 had to return for another load of goods, so they put up a quilt for a 
 door and rolled a barrel on the bottom of it to keep it secure. Here 
 she remained alone with her small children until her husband returned, 
 with no neighbors within miles of her. In the night scarce a sound 
 was heard, save the shrill, piercing cry of the hungry panthers. They 
 staid in this place about one year and then removed to Howard Flats, 
 where they lived from 1806 to 18 iS. Mrs. Travis was a woman of 
 wonderful genius and physical energy, and literally almost provided 
 for and sustained her large family by her own labor, while her husband 
 was felling the forest trees and clearing a place for a home. Knowing 
 her superior abilities as a spinner and weaver, Judge Hornell said to 
 her .that if she would spin and weave a piece of cloth to compete for a 
 premium at Bath, and it took the premium, he would make her a pres- 
 ent. She made the cloth, it took the premium at the fair, and the Judge 
 made her a present of a two year old heifer. In 18 18 they moved into 
 Canisteo, on the Hiram Crosby place, remaining there almost four years. 
 Then they went to Travis creek, in the southeastern part of the town of 
 Canisteo. Mr. Travis died September 27, 1858, aged eighty-two years. 
 Mrs. Travis died in May, 1888, aged one hundred and four years. 
 
 Capt. Samuel Baker was born in Putnam count}', X. Y., and settled 
 in the town of Howard in 1807. He married Esther Gustin. He was 
 the father of Mrs. Travis. 
 
 Jacob Bennett came from Orange county, X. Y., in 1809, and settled 
 on the farm lately known as the Benjamin Bennett farm. He was 
 thrice married, first to Julia Benjamin by whom he had nine children. 
 His second wife was Thankful Baker, a sister of the late Jerry Baker, 
 of Canisteo. Two children by this union are now living. His third 
 wife was Charlotte Gitchel. Mr. Bennett died about the year 1852. 
 
 Benjamin Bennett, son of the above, married Mary A., daughter 01 
 the late Enos Armstrong. Benjamin Bennett died January 3, 1865. 
 
 Charles McConnell came from Orange county in 1809, and purchased

 the farm now owned by M.J. Harding, and a portion of the George 
 Bennett farm, the most of which he cleared. 
 
 Daniel M. Bennett was born in Warwick, Orange county, N. Y., 
 October 27, 1793. In 1801 his mother moved to Big Flats, his father 
 having died in Orange county. In 1809 he came to this town and 
 bought a farm upon the flats, which he cleared, and upon which he 
 lived four years, when he sold to John Burleson. He was drafted in 
 the war of 1812, and served the last three months of the war. Septem- 
 ber 22, 1816, he married Clarissa Dolbie, — born January 27, 1798, — a 
 step-daughter of John Burleson. Mr. Bennett died June 8, 1875, and 
 his wife, September 30, 1869. 
 
 Pliny Goff was born in St. Lawrence county, N Y., in 1805. When 
 a boy, he came to Howard with his father Russell Goff. He married 
 Magdalena Yorheese, daughter of Luke Vorheese of this town, who 
 came here from the Mohawk valley region at an early date. Their 
 children were Finla, of Cameron Mills, Sidney C, Morvin, Charles, 
 Hiram S., of Cameron Mills, William, Ira, Luke R., and Mary, who 
 died at the age of five years. Finla married Mary A. , daughter of John 
 Mitchell of Lisle, Broome county, N. Y. Hiram S. married Sophia, 
 daughter of A. Wood worth of Luzerne count}', Pa. 
 
 Mr. H. S. Goff enlisted in Co. K, 107 Regt. N. Y. Inft., in June, 
 1862, and served until the close of the war. 
 
 Deacon Israel Baldwin was born in Orange, N. J., and after a resi- 
 dence in Montgomery county he came to Howard in 1810. He settled 
 near Goff's Mills on the Henry Dyer farm. He was drafted from this 
 town to serve in the war of 1812, and did military duty at Black Rock 
 for three months just previous to the close of the war. Mr. Baldwin 
 served as supervisor of the town and was a justice of the peace many 
 years. He married Hannah Hoagland of Amsterdam, N. Y. Abraham 
 Baldwin was born in Howard, February 23, 1830, and has been a resi- 
 dent of the town during his whole life. He resided upon the farm on 
 which he was born until January 12, 1870 when he removed to Howard 
 village, where, since 1872, he has conducted a general insurance busi- 
 ness. Mr. Baldwin was appointed United States census enumerator for 
 his town in 1880, and for fourteen years has filled the office of magistrate. 
 
 Paul Manhart came from Tompkins county to Howard in 1810, set- 
 tling one and a half miles west of the Flats. He married Rebecca 
 Thornton of Tompkins county. Their children were Clarissa; Edward; 
 John; Sally A.; Minerva; Martha; Daniel D.; Paul; Rebecca; Asel; 
 Moses; Amanda; Susan, and Julia. Daniel married Lydia Stone. Chil- 
 dren: Asa; John, who diedMarch 4,1873, and Fanny E. Danielmoved 
 to the town of Fremont in 1848, where he has since resided. Paul 
 Manhart Sr. died in March 1861.

 William Goff, born August 25, 1780 and died July 14, 1859. He 
 married Harriet Hamilton in 1802. They lived in Burlington, Otsego 
 county, N. Y., until the fall of 1812, when they settled in Howard, 
 where Mr. Goff purchased a large tract of land and a valuable water 
 privilege and built a grist-mill, saw-mill and carding machine, and had 
 at one time a distillery. The erection of this mill was not the only ben- 
 efit derived from the settlement of William Goff in the new country, for 
 his and his wife's hospitality to the settlers and to those who came from 
 a long distance to his mill, was proverbial, and from his mill thousands 
 of pounds of floor and corn-meal were distributed to the poor, without 
 any expectation of a return. Not only this, but during tho cold sum- 
 mer of 1 8 16, when all crops failed, he left his home with what means 
 he could command, went east and purchased wheat and corn, and on 
 his return distributed it to the almost starving people, with no recom- 
 pense but the promise of the settlers to pa}- him , if the next year they 
 raised sufficient crops to support their family and had a surplus. Flour 
 sold in 1816, for eleven dollars a barrel. Mr. Goff and John W. Fow- 
 ler, agent for the Pulteney Land Company, imported flour, which was 
 given out on credit, and the greater portion was never paid for. A 
 branch of the Goff family , near relatives of William Goff, located at an 
 early day in West Virginia. Of this branch is General Nathan Goff, ex- 
 secretary of the navy. Mr. and Mrs. Goff lived to rear a large and re- 
 spected family. 
 
 Russell Goff came from Ogdensburgh, St. Lawrence county, to Sodus 
 Bay by water, and from there to Springwater about 181S. He subse- 
 quently came to Howard where he built a grist-mill. His first wife was 
 Sally Calkins by whom he had five children: Plin}-, Emma. (Mrs- 
 Lewis McConnell), Nathan, Caroline, (Mrs. W. H. Stephens, of Wood - 
 hull), and Lois. His second wife was Anna Pixley. Children: Hen- 
 rietta, Fanny, Marietta, and Eliza. Mr. Russell Goff removed to Youugs- 
 town, Ohio, where he died. 
 
 John Preston was born June 11, 1797. He came from Cortland 
 county to this town when a boy. His wife was Alma Bradley of the 
 town of Bradford. Mr. Preston died July 8, 1881, and his first wife 
 October 23, 1838. 
 
 Seth Rice was born in Steuben county, September 9, 18 19. He 
 was the son of James Rice who came from Massachusetts in 1811, and 
 •settled one and a half miles north of Howard village. In 1825, he re- 
 moved to a farm near Towlesville, where he lived until his death, and 
 where the subject of this sketch lived for fifty-two years. Mr. Rice was 
 married February 12, 1840, to Gracia Wheeler, who was born July 18, 
 1 8 1 8 . Her parents , Jeremiah and Sarah Wheeler were among the early

 settlers in the town of Bath. Mr. Rice was a man of much promi- 
 nence, and a citizen of integrity. He died February 20, 1877. 
 
 George Stewart came from the north of Ireland in 1812, and two 
 years later settled in the south part of the now town of Howard, on the 
 Samuel Stewart farm. He had a family of nine children. 
 
 Henry Pawling came from Amsterdam in 181 2, and located at the 
 Pond Settlement, in this town, now in Avoca. He married Catharine 
 Winnie, of Rensselaer county, N. Y. 
 
 Adonijah Ford, a Baptist preacher, came from Connecticut in 18 13, 
 and settled on the House farm, south of Smith's pond. For many 
 years he preached as a supply. 
 
 Russell Burleson, who was born in Otsego county, after a residence 
 of some years at Coventry, Chenango county, came to this town accom- 
 panied by his father, John Burleson, in 1813. They settled on the 
 Henry VanWie farm. 
 
 William Allen, 2nd, so called to distinguish him from " Deacon " 
 William Allen, came from Amsterdam, Montgomery county, in 1813, 
 and settled in the now town of Howard, and supposed he was a resident 
 of the town of Canisteo. He stood two drafts for the war of 181 2 in 
 the town of Canisteo, and also voted there once at a town meeting be- 
 fore he discovered the exact location of the town line, which was six- 
 teen feet from his door. He married Phoebe Robords. The farm he 
 took up in 18 1 3, he cleared and continued to live upon it until his death 
 in 1869. 
 
 John Stewart came from Argyle, Washington county, N. Y., and 
 settled in the town of Bath, — now Howard, — soon after 1S12. His son 
 James A. Stewart, married Margaret, daughter of Henry Stewart. Ten

 until 1839, when he moved to the present town of Fremont and settled 
 on the Cook Sayles farm. He married for his second wife Julia (Wells) 
 Hamblin, a widow. Their children were: Dr. Ephraini ; Jacob G., 
 of Kansas, and one who died in infancy. Mr. Winnie died January 9, 
 1863, in his eighty-sixth year. 
 
 Joseph Emerson, son of Joel, was born in Massachusetts in 18 10. 
 When seven years of age he came to this town with his father's family. 
 They settled on the Byron Bowen farm. Joseph Brown married Sarah, 
 daughter of Ephraim Smith. Abel U., son of the above, was born in 
 this town September 24, 1839. He received his education in the com- 
 mon schools and at Rogersville Seminary, since which time his life has

 been spent principally in lumberingand inmercantile business. He en- 
 listed in Co. F., 161 Regt. X. Y. Vols., August 3, 1S62, and served until 
 Xovember 30, 1865. He was supervisor in 1888. and held the office of 
 town clerk two terms. He was appointed postmaster in 1875, which 
 office he held ten years. He was again appointed to the same office, 
 May 6, 1889.

 cated here in 18 17. He settled on the T. K. Whiting farm about one 
 mile south of Towlesville. 
 
 Timothy Parkhill, from Montgomery county, Xew York, settled in 
 Howard in 1818. He was a carpenter and joiner bytrade, and was also 
 engaged to some extent, in farming. He married Anna Rurey, also of 
 the Mohawk valley. They reared a family of nine children. The Park- 
 hill family traces its ancestry to a French lad taken from the wreck of 
 a vessel in the English Channel. The boy was adopted by an English 
 gentleman who had a country seat situated in a large park near the 
 coast, and known as Park Hill. Being unable to make his name known 
 to his rescuers, the boy was called Parkhill, afterthename of this manor, 
 where he was taken to reside. He grew to manhood, married, and lived 
 at Havershaw, England. His two sons joined King William II, Prince 
 of Orange, in the war between Catholics and Protestants in Scotland 
 and Ireland. After the war these sons remained in Scotland, married, 
 and finally settled in Derry county, Ireland. During the earl y part of 
 the seventeenth century, four brothers of one of these families, landed at 
 Plymouth, Mass., one brother and sister remaining in Ireland. The 
 names of those who immigrated to this country were Xathaniel, the fa- 
 ther of Timothy Parkhill, David, James and Hugh. The brothers and 
 their families remained for some years in Massachusetts, but subse- 
 quently Xathaniel moved to Vermont, thence to Springfield, Otsego 
 county, Xew York. His family consisted of twelve children, born as 
 follows: Robert, born August 7, 1767; John, April 26, 1769; Abigail, 
 April 1, 1771; Rebecca, July 3, 1772; David, May 10, 1774; Hannah, 
 June 14, 1776; Xathaniel, September 13, 1778; Timothy, December 25, 
 1780; Reuben June 2, 1783; Ezra, February 15, 1785: Polly, August 3, 
 1787; James Oliver — by a second wife — December 1, 1791. Of the 
 brothers of Xathaniel Parkhill who came to America, David settled in 
 Fayette county, Pa., where he died, leaving a large family and James 
 and Hugh remained in the Xew England states. Descendants of these 
 four brothers are widely scattered over the United States. Burke's 
 " History of Peers" puts the Parkhill family down as of Scotch origin. 
 There is|in|the[present House of Lords, a Lord Parkhill, from London- 
 derry, Ireland.

TOWN OF HOWARD. 42 I 
 
 born in Minden, Montgomery county, December 25, 1804. He came 
 with his parents to the town of Howard in 18 18. During his early 
 3*ears he was employed in farm work, and his subsequent life has been 
 devoted principally- to fanning. After the death of his father, the care 
 of younger brothers and sisters devolved upon him, consequently the 
 advantages he possessed for obtaining an education were limited. On 
 December 28, 1823, he married Emeline, daughter of Reuben Ferris. 
 Their children were Delia, Albert, deceased; Dr. Reuben F., of How- 
 ard ; Ann, and Dr. Clair S., of Hornellsville. During his years of 
 activity, Mr. Parkhill caused three farms in the town of Howard, to be 
 cleared, and his whole life until his retirement on account of increasing 
 3-ears, has been an example of industry-. While a resident of Howard, 
 he held the office of highway commissioner for three years, assessor 
 three years, and magistrate one year. During his term of office as com- 
 missioner, he caused to be laid out the highway known as the " Big 
 Creek road," now the direct route between Hornellsville and Bath. 
 This was surveyed by one Atwood of South Dansville. William Bull, 
 of Bath, also surve3 T ed many of the roads in Howard. While com- 
 missioner, Mr. Parkhill 's duties oftentimes took him a whole week 
 from his home. This was previous to the formation of the towns of 
 Avoca and Fremont, and Howard comprised much more territory than 
 at present. In October, 1876, Mr. Parkhill took up his residence in 
 Hornellsville, where he continues to reside. He is in possession of a 
 vigorous intellect and a retentive memory, and is one of the few remain- 
 ing links connecting the days of the early settlement of Steuben with 
 the present time. There are but few remaining who have lived con- 
 tinuously- in the county so many years as he. All who personally know 
 Mr. Parkhill, recognize in him all that is manly, true and upright. He 
 was prominently identified in his earlier years with everything that per- 
 tained to the growth and development of his town, and he exerted him- 
 self to give to his children a liberal education. They are numbered 
 among the most respected and useful citizens of the count}'.

 Physicians. — Of the medical profession, the pioneer physician of the 
 place was Dr. Baker, who settled in Howard, sometime in 1817. Among 
 other physicians who have practiced here were Dr. Wixon, who came 
 about 1820, Dr. Robinson and Dr. Runner, who came early it the 30's. 
 Dr. Austin Baker practiced a few years and died in Howard. Howard 
 has always had an able corps of physicians, and ever after Dr. Case set- 
 tled there, many students came from far and near to study medicine 
 under his instructions. 
 
 Dr. Levi S. Goodrich was one of the earliest physicians of western 
 Steuben. He came to Howard in November 1820, and soon established 
 a wide practice. He was not only eminent in his profession buthe was 
 an enterprising business man, erecting buildings and owning property, 
 not only in Howard but also in Hornellsville and Almond, where he 
 subsequently resided. Dr. Goodrich was a native of Vermont. He 
 received his diploma in 18 15 from the Fairfield Medical College, of 
 which Westel Willoughby was president. He practiced in Howard 
 from 1820 to 1843, moving thence to Hornellsville and subsequently 
 to Almond, Allegany county, where he died September 16, 1846, aged 
 53 years. He became a member of the Steuben County Medical So- 
 ciety, in 1824. From a notice of his death published in the Angelica 
 Reporter, these words are copied: 
 
 "As a neighbor and a citizen he was universally beloved and re- 
 spected. Open-hearted and benevolent, his conduct in every exigency 
 
428 TOWN OF HOWARD. 
 
 was marked by noble characteristics which warmly endeared him to all 
 who knew him. * * * As a physician, his theoretical and practical 
 knowledge of the medical art was well digested. But as an attendant 
 on the sick bed, especially at its more trying and painful scenes, his un- 
 tiring faithfulness and skillful tact at consoling and encouraging, were 
 pre-eminent." 
 
 Dr. Goodrich was twice married. His first wife was the oldest, and 
 his second the youngest daughter of Aziel Barnes of Benson, Yt. The 
 latter was left to mourn his loss, and three daughters: Charlotte, wife 
 of Edward O'Brien, Esq. , Ellen, who married Prof. D. R. Ford of Alfred 
 Centre, and Ervilla, who married Russell M. Tuttle of Hornellsville. 
 
 The story of Dr. Goodrich's location in Howard, as told in family 
 letters still extant, is interesting as descriptive of early times in this 
 section. 
 
 The journey from Benson, Vt.,to "the Genesee countr}-, " wasmade 
 on horseback and occupied several weeks. He was prospecting and he 
 traveled by way of the Hudson river to Xewburgh, thence across to the 
 Delaware, and so to the Susquehanna and its head- waters. Where he 
 crossed the Delaware, sixty miles from Newburgh, ' ' a place called Can- 
 isteo, twenty miles from Bath," was recommended to him. Going by 
 way of Bath, the settlement at Howard lay in his route. Here lived an 
 acquaintance. 
 
 " On my way thither," he writes, " I fell in company with a gentle- 
 man who told me he was going directly to the house of Mr. Harlow. 
 Mr. H. had just recovered from a fever, and Mrs. H. was still sick. 
 The gentleman was a physician. He had another patient two miles 
 distant who was directed, if she became worse, to send to me as I 
 should be at Harlow's several days. He lived twenty miles away and 
 could not come oftener than once in four days. Howard is a new 
 tow r nship, has been settling more or less for eight or ten years, but 
 mostly in five. It has now 1,150 inhabitants and not a quack or a 
 physician in any part, and but one midwife. Dr. Boweu. who is from 
 Whitehall, lives in an adjoining town. The other physicians live in 
 Bath, thirteen miles from where I took my board the 2d day of Novem- 
 ber. I am perhaps a little more than thirty miles from Dr. Parmalee. 
 It is a new country; I think the face of it is full as handsome as Sem- 
 pronius." 
 
 The following winter (182 1), Mrs. Goodrich joined her husband. 
 Even the brave New England woman's courage almost failed as she 
 thought of a winter's journey, with her little girl, to the far-off "wooden 
 country " and " log-housed village." 
 
 Mrs. Goodrich was a very agreeable letter-writer. 
 
 "To-day I read 
 A few, short letters in her own dear hand 
 And doubted if 'twere true. Their tender grace 
 
 Seems radiant with her life. O! can the dead 
 
 Thus in their letters live? I tied the band 
 
 And blessed her name as though I kissed her face. 
 
TOWN OF HOWARD. 
 
 429 
 
 In her first letter home she gives her impressions of the new country: 
 "lam considerably disappointed in the appearance of the town. It 
 is as new as I expected, but there are 3,000 acres of land, all in one 
 body, as handsome as Moravia and much larger. They are known by 
 the name of Howard Flats. The}' are, all over, settled and the farms 
 mostly cleared. But not a framed house on them. In time they will 
 be beautiful. A great many young orchards; from the number and age, 
 there is prospect of plenty of fruit in a year or two. There is a place 
 over the hills, called Canisteo, where they have plums, and apples and 
 currants." 
 
 From the manner of his ' ' coming, ' ' and the circumstances which af- 
 terward occurred, Dr. Goodrich had the feeling that he had found the place 
 designed for him. As the days lengthened into weeks and months, he be- 
 came fixed in the determination to make Howard his permanent home. 
 He was enthusiastic over the town of his choice. " It is a busy, grow- 
 ing town, ' ' he writes; ' ' the chances here for those who have something 
 to purchase improvements with are very good." 
 
 By the middle of July (1822), the Doctor's first house in Howard was 
 so far advanced that it was occupied. It was 18x30 feet. The timber, 
 planking, window and door frames, together with the work of framing 
 and raising, cost thirty dollars. Mrs. Goodrich describes it in a letter 
 to her mother: 
 
 " The posts are 12 j4 feet; four six-lighted windows in the chamber 
 front, with a chimney in one end, and calculated for a stove in the 
 other. A good cellar under the kitchen room. Good water handy. 
 We paid $25 for half an acre and have a deed for our land. It is as 
 pleasant a situation as I could wish to live in, and good neighbors. It 
 is right across from where Mr. Bennett lives." (The3 r had lived in the 
 same house with Mr. Jacob Bennett until their own was built.) 
 
 In May 1822 the new house was enlarged and opened as a public 
 house. She writes : " We put on an addition of forty-eight feet long 
 and fourteen deep, which will, when completed, be very commodious as 
 a public house. Three chimneys in the whole. * * In 
 
 August, 1822, there was held at our house an installation of the new 
 lodge. We prepared dinner for between one hundred and two hundred 
 guests. We have considerable company to wait upon and it chiefly 
 devolves upon me. I have little leisure for writing or reflection." 
 
 For more than twenty years Doctor Goodrich was a prominent man 
 in Howard, rejoicing in the prosperity of the town and thoroughly 
 identified with all its interests. There are some half dozen buildings 
 still standing which were put up by him in those days. And the burgh 
 grew to be " a delightsome village ' ' with ' ' a pleasant and handsome 
 square ' ' while his practice extended in all the country round until it 
 covered territory equal to a small empire.

 until lie was sixteen years of age. He then attended a district school 
 for two winter terms. He worked out by the month, always employing 
 his spare moments with his book. By rapid strides he received a good 
 academical education, and subsequently, December, 1827, he graduated 
 from the Medical College at Castleton, Vt. He sought and received 
 both theoretical and practical knowledge from the Massachusetts 
 General Hospital, Boston, and the Jefferson Medical College, of Phila- 
 delphia. He practiced medicine in Vermont about three years, a short 
 time in Belmont, Allegany county, and in 1833, located in Howard. 
 He was married in Shrewsbury^ Vt., September 14, 1828, to Sophronia 
 Pierce, who was born November 6, 1805, and died February io, 1873. 
 Miss Pierce was a daughter of Caleb Pierce, and cousin to Franklin 
 Pierce, once President of the United States. Three children were 
 reared by Doctor and Mrs. Case ; George F., born July 24, 1830, who 
 became a physician and practiced in Howard and at Pulteney until his 
 death, which occurred September 8, 1875 ; Julia, (Mrs. Charles For- 
 rester) and Dighton L., born May 17, 1838. The latter studied medi- 
 cine with his father, attended the Rogersville Seminary, graduated in 
 medicine at the Buffalo Medical College, and has since practiced in 
 Howard. Dr. A. B. Case died May 30, 1883.

 and always practiced in Howard. He married Theresa, daughter of 
 John Madole. Doctor Rathbun died April 13, 18S0. 
 
 Dr. Reuben F. Parkhill was born in this town, December 11, 1832. 
 His early years were spent upon a farm and in attending the district 
 school. He subsequently graduated from Alfred University and studied

 Lake, Sullivan county, N. Y., January 16, 1853. In December, 1855, 
 his father was settled over the A. R. Presbyterian church of this town, 
 and the son was reared and educated here. His more advanced learn- 
 ing was received at Canisteo and Bath, while his father attended to his 
 classical education. He studied medicine with Dr. A. B. Case, of How- 
 ard village, and graduated from the medical department of the Univer- 
 sity of Buffalo, in February, 1884. He has since been located at

 Churches. — A Presbyterian church was organized here July 5, 18 15, 
 by Rev. David Higgins of Bath, and Rev. Enoch Whipple, a mission- 
 ary. It consisted of eight members, seven of whom were admitted on 
 examination and one by letter. The church was received under the care 
 of the Presbytery of Bath, August 29, 1820. For a number of years 
 after the organization of the church, it was without a pastor or stated 
 supply. Itinerant missionaries and neighboring ministers afforded 
 some ministerial aid. Public worship was maintained, and the ordinan- 
 ces and dicipline of the gospel observed. The church of this society 
 was built in 1835-36. In the winter of 1844 it took fire, and was with 
 difficulty saved from total destruction. 
 
 About 1845, the Universalists were said to be the predominant sect 
 in the village, and to have had an interest in the Baptist house of wor- 
 ship where they met one Sunday each month. Some of the most in- 
 fluential men of the town as to civil affairs, were among the members 
 of this society. 
 
 The Baptist church in the village of Howard, was erected the same 
 time with that of the Presbyterians. About this time Howard is report- 
 ed as "a very sterile place, which appeared to be almost impervious 
 to the gospel . ' ' 
 
 Howard Second Church. — This church was located in the northwest- 
 ern part of the town.* It was organized in the year 1825, by Rev. 
 James H. Hodgkin and Rev. Statham Clary, and was received under 
 the care of the Presbytery of Bath, February 22, 1826. It consisted at 
 that time of twelve members, and never reported more than fourteen. 
 With one or two exceptions it was always reported vacant. The society 
 built a small house of worship, but never flourished. On its request, it 
 was united with the church at South Dansville, by an act of the Presby- 
 tery, August 25, 1840. 
 
 Towlesville Baptist Church, has a membership of seventy-nine. Value 
 of church property, $2,500. Oak Hill mission chapel, which is con- 
 nected with this charge is valued at $800. 
 
 Towlesville M.-E. Church has a membership of ninety, and two other 
 appointments — South Howard and Groff's District — which have a 
 joint membership of forty. The value of the Towlesville property is 
 $3,000, at South Howard $1,000. 
 
 The churches at Towleville were organized some years subsequent 
 to those of Howard village, but the exact dates we could not ascertain.

 Buena Vista Weslyan Methodist Church. — There are five appointments 
 on this circuit, mostly at school houses. The membership at Buena 
 Vista is sixteen. Value of church property $500. 
 
 United Presbyterian Church of Hoicard has a membership of one hun- 
 dred and seventeen. Value of church property $3,500. This church 
 of Scotch-Irish seceders was organized in the south part of the town, the 
 following account of which is furnished by Dr. C. B. Robertson of 
 Towlesville : 
 
 "When Rev. John Dunlap of Cambridge, Washington count}-, vis- 
 ited this region in 1826, he found only a few Scotch-Irish families, most 
 of whom had within the preceeding six years come from Washington 
 county, where some of them had been members of the Associate Re- 
 formed and Reformed Presbyterian churches. He found a rugged 
 country covered by an almost unbroken forest, and the few who braved 
 the hardships and privations of the wilderness could only sustain them- 
 selves by toil and economy. However, they received the man of God. 
 A church was organized and a session formed, consisting of Messrs. 
 Samuel Wilson and David Miller. At a stated meeting of Presbytery 
 held in February, 1827, the congregation of Howard was received un- 
 der the care of the Presbytery of Saratoga. 
 
 "This church was served by various pastors until 1855, when a 
 stated supply was received in the person of Rev. P. C. Robertson, who, 
 in December of that year, moved his family here and continued as pas- 
 tor till May, 1883, when, at his own request, he was released from his 
 pastorate." 
 
 Missionaries of another sort were wont to make their appearance here. 
 These were of the sect of the so-called Latter Day Saints, or Mor- 
 mons . 
 
 A portion of the town west of the farm of Abram V Sharp, on the 
 turnpike road, was for many years known as "Mormon Hill," owing 
 to a number of families in that neighborhood embracing Mormonism. 
 In October, 1842, about forty families from this county emigrated to 
 the land of the Mormons, then in Ohio. 
 
 Howard Village, located north of the centre of the town on what is 
 known as "Howard Flats," contains two churches (Baptist and Pres- 
 byterian), two hotels, one general store, one grocer} 7 and confectionery 
 store, one drug store, two wagon-shops, three blacksmith shops, paint- 
 shop, harness-shop, a graded school, a saw, planing and feed-mill, 
 cheese factor}- and about fifty dwellings. A mail is received daily by 
 stage via. Bath and Hornellsville. 
 
 Towlesville, located about one mile from the east line of the town 
 of Howard, on the turnpike road, takes i':s name from Richard Towle, 
 an early settler. It has two churches (Baptist and Methodist Episco- 
 pal), a school, a general store, a hardware store and tin-shop, confec- 
 ery and tobacco store, two blacksmith and wagon repair shops and

 about thirty dwellings. It receives a daily mail by stage from Kanona, 
 five miles distant. 
 
 South Howard postoffice is located in the southeast portion of the 
 town. This office receives a tri-weekly mail from Bath. 
 
 Buexa Vista is located near the centre of the south half of the town 
 of Howard, and contains one church, ( W. M.) a general store, black- 
 smith shop, wagon-shop, school, and about twenty dwellings. A tri- 
 weekly mail is received from Bath. 
 
 Hotels. — The National Hotel, kept by J. Wells at Howard Flats, was 
 built probably between 1813 and 1815. At the time it wasbuilt it con- 
 sisted of the present eastern upright with a wing and additions on the 
 west. The ball-room, where the forefathers in their youthful days — or 
 nights — " tripped the light fantastic" with sweetheart, or wife, yet un- 
 burdened with a progeny so numerous as to preclude her attendance at 
 such a place, included the whole second story of the upright. There 
 are still to be seen the mouths of large bottles protruding through the 
 ceiling, which were inserted there when the house was built, for the 
 purpose of giving tone and reverberation to the music. In 1843 or '44 
 the west wing was torn down and the old academy building was 
 moved onto the west corner of the lot and connected with the old up- 
 right b}' a new building. It still wears on its front gable the green lat- 
 ticed bell-dome. 
 
 Manufactures . 
 
 Hon-ard Mills were built by Omer and J. \V. Bennett in the spring and 
 summer of 1SS3. The present firm, Messrs. J. W. & M. M. Bennett 
 have made very material addition to the plant, furnishing it with planing, 
 matching and moulding machinery, etc. There is also a feed run in 
 connection having a capacity of four hundred bushels. Other improve- 
 ments are contemplated. A twenty-five horse-power engine and a fifty 
 horse-power boiler furnish the moter. The capacity of the saw-mill is 
 ten thousand feet per day. 
 
 The first mill on this site was built by Omer Bennett and was burned 
 May 3, 1883. 
 
 Previously, a tannery built by McConnell& Lane, occupied the site, 
 and was destroyed by fire in 1875. 
 
 The Howard Cheese Factory was built by J. Willard and Omer Ben- 
 nett in 1883, on the site of one which had been in operation about six 
 years and was destroyed by fire in the spring of '83. The present fac- 
 tor)- is owned and operated by Bennett & Glover, and its product has a 
 reputation second to none. 
 
 The Towlesville Cheese Factory was built in the spring of 1890 by M. 
 Glover and J. Willard Bennett. Although this is its first season, the 
 results have been mutually satisfactory to patrons and proprietors. The

 capacity of this factory is from six to eight thousand pounds of milk 
 per day. 
 
 The Pond Cheese Factory, located on Smith's pond, was built by L. & 
 H. Spauiding in 1870. I, Spaulding has succeeded to the business. 
 The capacit\- is one hundred and twenty thousand pounds per annum. 
 
 JASPER township was formed from Troupsburgh and Canisteo Jan- 
 uary 24, 1827, and a part was annexed to Greenwood in 1848. It 
 is situated near the southwest corner of the county, bounded 
 north by Canisteo, east by Cameron and Woodhull, south by Troups- 
 burgh and west by Greenwood. Its surface is a hilly and broken up- 
 land, the highest summits being nearly two thousand feet above tide- 
 water. The streams are small brooks, and the soil is a slaty, gravelly 
 and clayey loam. The population of the town in 1890 was 1,891. 
 
 Early Settlement. — Nicholas Prutsman — the name is also spelled 
 Brotzman by some members of the same famil}- — a native of German}*, 
 left Tioga valley with his family and household effects in a wagon, in 
 the spring of 1807, and moving down the valley and up the Canisteo to 
 Addison, followed the course of the Tuscarora creek, up past the Caleb 
 Smith settlement of the year before in Woodhull, still farther up the 
 north branch of that stream, clearing a road with his axe as he advanced. 
 At the distance of nine miles above the Smith settlement, he turned to 
 the west, and following a small tributary a mile toward its source, un- 
 hitched his team, turned them loose in the woods, and made his camp 
 for the night under a giant oak in the deep forest. Here, accompanied 
 by his wife and children, he camped while building the little cabin which 
 in after years was replaced b\-the old homestead near Marlatt's Corners, 
 the public highwaj' — or state road — passing under the old oak. which 
 stood directly in front of his house. That portion of the town was then 
 a part of the town of Troupsburgh. 
 
 Adam Brotzman was born in the state of Delaware, and after locating 
 for a time in Tioga county, Pa., settled at the Five Corners in the town 
 of Jasper in 1809. Abraham Brotzman, now the oldest resident of the 
 town, was then a babe of six weeks, and his mother carried him in her 
 arms from Addison, a distance of seventeen miles, making the entire 
 journey on foot. A man named Morley had made a small clearing and 
 erected a log shanty on the Swan place, and Mr. Brotzman built a log 
 house on his farm, in which he lived until about 1833, when he built 
 the large framed house now owned by Thomas Sheffield, and which he 
 ran as a public house for thirty years. At the time of his settlement, 
 his nearest neighbors were Nicholas Brotzman, north, Caleb Smith, at 
 Woodhull, on the east, Samuel Rice, in Troupsburgh, south, and Eb- 
 
TOWN OF JASPER. 435 
 
 enezer Spencer, on the B. Hulse farm, west. He came in from Wood- 
 hull by way of Rice's clearing, in Troupsburgh, as there was no cut 
 road between Woodhull and Jasper until some years later. Mr. Brotz- 
 man married Peggy Metzger. Their children were Jonas, Abraham, 
 Charity, Charles, Eliza, George, Molley, Julia, John, Nicholas, Han- 
 nah and William. 
 
 John, son of Adam Brotzman, born July 2, 1825, married Cassandane 
 Robinson, who was born May 31, 1832. Their children were Adelbert 
 D., born March 7, 1856; Maryett, born December 21, 1858, and died 
 April 12, 1S62. Adelbert married Frances, daughter of Samuel Dennis, 
 born August 6, 1S56, married November 12, 1879. Children; Reed, 
 born March 14, 1880 ; Johnnie Potter, a son adopted from the Randolph 
 Home, Cattaraugus county, born February 14, 1879, died May 28, 1882; 
 Dennis, born July 12, 18S3 ; Ora, May 25, 1885, and Mary, December 
 23, 1888. 
 
 Mr. John Brotzman died March 9, 1863, and his wife July 7, 1870. 
 
 Andrew Craig Sr. , one of the most prominent men in the town dur- 
 ing his life, left Ireland during the great rebellion, at eighteen years of 
 age, and in 18 10 left his home near Philadelphia for the new western 
 country, and was appointed sub-land-agent for the proprietors. The 
 first night after his arrival, he spent in an Indian wigwam near the 
 present site of Jasper village. His farm joined Andrew Simpson's, 
 south, these two farms occupying the site of the village. His wife was 
 Letitia Murphy. Children : Edward, Eleanor, Sally A., Maria, John, 
 Jonah, and two who died in infancy. He settled at the Four Corners 
 on the D. F. Countryman farm. Mrs. Craig made the first butter for 
 market that was ever made in the town. It was then customary to take 
 it to Philadelphia or New York, and money being scarce in the coun- 
 try, various commodities were taken in payment, frequently plug to- 
 bacco, which was easily disposed of among the settlers. 
 
 Hon. Andrew B. Craig was born in Jasper, Decembers, 1835. Here 
 he received his earliest education, and later at the academies of neigh- 
 boring towns. He has engaged at different periods in mercantile pur- 
 suits, and has been occupied extensively with farming and milling. In 
 partnership with his brother, Willis E., he built the present Craig mill, 
 and also some commercial and private buildings. He has always been 
 a Democrat in politics, and notwithstanding the large Republican ma- 
 jorities usually given in the second assembly district of Steuben, he 
 represented said district in the legislature of 1883 and 1884. He has 
 also served as supervisor. He was united in marriage to Kate M. Ni- 
 chols of Elmira.

 and eighty-four acres of land partly cleared at twenty shillings. For 
 the times, he was a man of considerable wealth, having about eight 
 hundred dollars in money, a horse and eight head of cattle. He was a 
 great trapper of wolves, and as the state and count y each paid a bounty 
 on every head, Mr. Spencer derived a considerable income from this 
 source. During the last years, before the entire disappearance of wolves 
 from these towns, the state paid a bounty of thirty dollars, and the 
 county the same amount. The last of the wolves were dispatched in 
 1835, when ten were killed near Rowley's in the northern part of the 
 town . 
 
 The first grain he raised was spring wheat. After threshing a grist 
 he took two men and a yoke of oxen and started for Hornellsville to 
 mill. The first night they camped in the woods, and some time the 
 next day arrived at Hornellsville. The only board he had in his house 
 he brought on horse back from Painted Post to use for a door.

 His father died in about eighteen months after arriving here, and re- 
 sponsible duties devolved upon the young man, which were heroically 
 encountered and manfully overcome. Assisted by his younger brother 
 he cut a fallow of several acres, and performed much labor and endured 
 the many hardships incident to life here in early days. But these trials 
 and the stern demands of necessity were not without their good fruits. 
 They gave to the country the strong, determined and reliable charac- 
 ters who, like the subject of this sketch, have been so prominent and 
 useful since the settlement of this region. He assisted in clearing much 
 land in this town, and has been largely engaged in farming and dealing

 another was built on the same site by the Edward Craig estate, and 
 was run by steam power. This, with the flouring-mill, was burned in 
 1863. 
 
 People in want of corn, frequently went to Addison and procured it 
 of William Wombough and would repa3' him when they harvested their 
 crop. When the state road was opened, the land office would give to 
 the settler who would cut. a mile of road, one hundred acres located upon 
 this road. The pine that was in the original forests in Jasper was said 
 to be the finest in the country. One tree was cut on the flat above the 
 village about 1855, which measured twenty-one feet in circumference. 
 Often one thousand feet, and sometimes twelve hundred feet of clear 
 panel lumber, entirely free from blemishes, was cut from a twelve foot 
 log. 
 
 The first town -meeting was held in the house of Andrew Simpson , 
 in March, 1827. Stephen Towsley was chosen " moderator," Andrew 
 Craig was chosen supervisor. 
 
 Early Merchants. — Harvey Phoenix came from Painted Post, bought 
 five acres of land and opened the first store on the state road between 
 Bath and Knoxville, Pa., near Marlatts. In 1826 Edward Craig began 
 clerking for Mr. Phoenix, and in 1834 bought him out and moved his 
 store to the Craig corners. Andrew Craig, Sr., was then appointed post- 
 master. The first post-office in the town was at the Five Corners. 
 William Gardner was one of the earliest postmasters, if not the first. The 
 post-office became an object of contention between the rival corners, and 
 was changed to Marlatt's Corners, where John G. Marlatt became post-

 master. In 1834, there were but three houses and a store at Craig's 
 Corners, and a log house near the creek where Andrew Simpson lived, 
 and a little plank house, where his son, Carter Simpson sold candies 
 and notions. 
 
 Jasper Five Corners. — The old business portion of Jasper, known as 
 the five corners, was clustered around the old tavern of Adam Brotz- 
 man, and had grown to contain, beside the tavern, two stores and a 
 saw-mill. It is now abandoned, and a little cluster of houses is all that 
 remains here. 
 
 Jasper Village contains three churches — Baptist, Presbyterian and 
 Methodist Episcopal — a union school, two hotels, two hardware stores, 
 one drug store, fruit and confectionary store, three general stores, a 
 millinery shop, four blacksmith shops, two wagon-shops, a furniture 
 and undertaking store, one harness shop, two meat markets, and ninety 
 dwellings. A daily mail is received by way of Addison, and a tri-weekly 
 mail by way of Canisteo. 
 
 Hampshire Post-Office, located at the junction of roads 17 and 18, 
 was established in July, 1877, with Samuel Dennis postmaster. Many of 
 the early settlers in this part of the town were natives or had formerly 
 been residents of the state of New Hampshire, and the locality was 
 known, locally, as the " Hampshire" district or settlement. Hence 
 the name given to the post-office. It receives a tri-weekly mail via. 
 Canisteo. The first church in the town was built by these people and 
 the first five ballots cast in the town of Jasper for the abolition of slavery 
 were written and voted by Xew Hampshire men in this community, 
 among whom were Alfred Hadley, Thomas Whiting, I. K. Robinson, 
 and Jonathan Whiting. 
 
 North Jasper Post-office is located on Talbot creek in the north 
 part of the town. A tri-weekly mail is received here from Canisteo. 
 
 Manufactures. — Darius Knapp built a tannery on the bank of the 
 creek in rear of the A. A. VanOrsdale place, on Tuscarora street.which 
 he ran for several years. It was afterward run by Augustus VanOrs- 
 dale, who came here in 1853. Andrew Savage also ran a tannery and 
 a boot and shoe shop at the Five Corners. 
 
 The present Craig mill was built by A. B. & \V. A. Craig, in 1866. 
 It has a capacity for sawing 10,000 feet per day, and also manufac- 
 tures shingles. 
 
 Walrath Brothers & Co.'s steam saw, planing, shingle, feed, and ci- 
 der-mill, was built by the above firm in 188 1. It has a thirty horse- 
 power engine, and a capacity for sawing about 10,000 feet a day. 
 
 Hotels.— A. C. Hunter's Hotel is located convenient to the business 
 houses of the village, and is fast becoming popular with the traveling 
 fraternity. The house was opened about three years since by Andrew 
 
450 TOWN OF JASPER. 
 
 C. Hunter, an "old time" hotel proprietor, and notwithstanding the 
 hostelry is not yet equipped to the extent designed by Mr. Hunter and 
 demanded by his increasing trade, it offers all the comforts of far more 
 pretentious houses. Wholesome food well cooked and nicely served, 
 clean and comfortable apartments, together with the genial hospitality 
 of host and hostess, make it not only desirable to stop there, but agree- 
 able to remain. Good stabling is furnished and the best of care be- 
 stowed upon horses. 
 
 Chi-rches. 
 
 Jasper Baptist Church. — On February 9, 1817, there assembled in 
 what was then the town of Troupsburgh, Nathaniel Seelye, Bedford 
 George, Charles Card, William and John George, Rebecca Seelye, 
 Lurena Harrington, and Phoebe Card. Charles Card was appointed 
 clerk. Agreeing upon articles of faith, they united in forming the 
 Troupsburgh Baptist Church. During the month of June, 1S17, Rev. 
 Samuel Bigelow baptized and received into the church, fourteen per- 
 sons. At a meeting held at Charles Card's July 12, 1S17, which was 
 presided over by Rev. Andrew Sherfarne, of the Massachusetts Mis- 
 sionary Society, the name was changed to the Jasper Baptist Church. 
 The present house of worship in Jasper village was raised June 7, 1S34, 
 and occupied as soon as enclosed, for meetings, but was not finished 
 until 1840. _ The present pastor is Rev. J. G. Mahoney, pastor of the 
 Baptist Church at Woodhull. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church. — The first meetings of this society were 
 held under the auspices of Mrs. S. A. Grinolds and Mrs. Smith in 
 1 8 18, who are said to have been the only Methodists in the town at 
 
 that date. Rev. Buel was the first preacher. Meetings were held 
 
 in the school house at Marlatt's Corners, and as late as 1834 were held 
 at Jasper village and at the Five Corners, in the school houses, until 
 the erection of the present church. The membership is about one hun- 
 dred and thrrty. Value of church and parsonage, $5,500. 
 
 Talbot Creek M. E. Church, which belongs to the Jasper charge, has 
 a membership of forty-four. Their church is valued at S2,ioo. 
 
 Presbyterian Church. — In the summer of 1S25, Enoch Ordway organ- 
 ized the first Sunday-school in Jasper. This school met for two years 
 in Mr. Ordway's house, then in a vacant building, and in 1828 in a log 
 school house. October 29, 1829, the First Presbyterian Church of Jas- 
 per was formed with twenty-five members, by Rev. David Higgins, 
 Rev. Lyman Barrett and Elder Israel Baldwin, a committee of the Pres- 
 bytery of Bath. The church was received under the care of the Pres- 
 bytery January 26, 1830, and was transmitted to the Presbytery of Che- 
 mung on the organization of that bod}-. It was, on its own applica- 
 tion, restored to the Presbytery of Bath in October, 1847. This church

 received the one hundred acre "gospel lot," from the Pultene3 r 's, their 
 organization being the first in accordance with the incorporate law of 
 the state. In 1844, a church 24x36 feet was built on the state road 
 near the Earl Stone place. Meetings were held in it before it was 
 completed. The first Sunday after its completion — in 1846 — it caught 
 fire and was burned to the ground before service. The second building 
 •was immediately erected in the Hampshire settlement, near the Dennis 
 place, and was dedicated in 1847. This building was abandoned in 
 1872, on the completion of the larger church in Jasper village. The 
 cost of this structure was $6,000 exclusive of the site, which was do- 
 nated by W E. Craig. The church was dedicated February 15, 1872. 
 The present membership is about one hundred and twenty. 
 
 First Wesley an Methodist Church. — This church was organized in 
 March, 1871, at the "Gully" school house, in the west part of the town, 
 under the preaching of Rev. Mr. Sinabaugh. Rev. P. D. Rathbone 
 had preached there a short time previous. The first members were 
 George \V. Siblej' and wife, Thurlow Woodward and wife, William 
 Drake and wife and Joseph Banks and wife. A church building was 
 immediately commenced and was dedicated February 14, 1875, by Rev. 
 Adam Crooks, general agent of the Wesleyan connection. There is a 
 membership of about thirty. The value of the church property is 
 $1,500. 
 
 Cemeteries. — The Jasper Cemetery Association was incorporated in 
 1866. The first president was Ezra D. Lewis, and E. C. June, secre- 
 tary. The cemetery contains between five and six acres and occupies 
 a beautiful knoll above the village, sloping to the bank of the Tusca- 
 rora. About two hundred trees, besides shrubbery, have been set out 
 here, which are now in an advanced stage of growth, and it is one of 
 the most beautiful rural cemeteries in this section of the state. Mr. 
 Eugene Timmerman is serving his third year as superintendent, under 
 whose care it is well kept. The old cemetery at the Five Corners con- 
 tains the remains of many of the early settlers of the town, among 
 •whom are those of Barnabas Kinney, David Cook, Stephen Towsley, 
 Uri Merriam, and Mrs. Sally (Prutsman) Kittle, the first white child 
 born in the town. 
 
 LINDLEY township was formed from Envin, May 12,1837, and was 
 named in honor of Col. Eleazer Lindsley, the original proprietor. 
 It lies upon the southern border of the county, east of the centre, 
 and was ' 'Township No. 1 , of the Second Range. " It is bounded north 
 by Erwin, east by Caton, south by the Pennsylvania state line.andwest 
 by the town of Tuscarora. The east and west parts are hilly uplands, 
 divided by the valley of the Tioga river, which is bounded by steep 
 
452 TOWN* OF LISTDLEY. 
 
 hillsides from four to six hundred feet high. The course of the Tioga 
 is from south to north through the town, a little east of the centre. The 
 soil upon the hills is a heavy, shaly loam, and in the valley, which is 
 about a mile in width, a rich alluvium. 
 
 This township was purchased jointly of Phelps and Gorham by Col. 
 Eleazer Lindsley, John Ryess — father of Joseph and Gozen Adrian Ry- 
 ess, who are remembered by many still living here — and Judge Garrett- 
 son of Staten Island. A commission was appointed and the land ap- 
 praised and divided by a line running through the centre from east to 
 west, the southern portion being set apart for Colonel Lindsley. The 
 remaining half was divided north and south by the Tioga river, the 
 eastern portion set aside for John Ryess and that lying west of the river 
 for Judge Garrettson.* 
 
 The population of the town, according to the census enumeration of 
 1890, was 1,527. 
 
 Early Settlement. — The first settlement was made in this town by 
 Colonel Eleazer Lindsley with a colony of about forty persons from New 
 Jersey, in June, 1790. Plows were made and the river flats immediateh- 
 broken. These flats were covered with rank grass, bordered by higher 
 land covered with Indian corn -hills, which had been hilled up year after 
 year. It was on these corn-lands that the pioneers raised their first crop. 
 The season was too far advanced to admit of raising corn, but a great 
 crop of buckwheat was secured. Buckwheat, corn, milk and game 
 constituted their food the first winter. "Old Pomp," a negro belong- 
 ing to Colonel Lindsle3 r , made himself useful \>y pounding buckwheat 
 in the dug-out top of a stump known in those days as a " Plumping- 
 Mill." "Hominy Block," "Samp Mortar" or "Corn Cracker" — now 
 an obsolete*machine, but then the main dependence of our settlers. The 
 Plumping-mill was made after this manner. From the outer edge of 
 the top of a pine stump, and at a little distance within the extreme edge, 
 soas to leave;a rimofabouthalfaninchin breadth, auger holes were bored 
 toward the centre of the stump pointing downward so as to meet in a 
 point several inches below the surface. Fire was placed on the top of 
 the stump, which, when it had eaten down to the auger holes, was 
 sucked according to atmospherical laws, through those little mines and 
 burned out the chip or conical block nicely, leaving a large deep bowl. 
 This was scraped and polished with an iron and the mill was read3 r for 
 the engine. The engine was a very simple one of about two feet stroke. 
 
 *Colonel Harrower of Lawrenceville, Pa., -who has had much to do with land 
 titles in this town,, is our authority for the above. Others aver that the entire town- 
 ship was purchased by Lindsley for a sixpence an acre, who soon afterward sold the 
 northern half to Messrs. Garrettson and Ryess for one shilling an acre.

 From a crotched post a long sweep was balanced like the swale of an 
 old-fashioned well. A pole, at the end of which was a pounder, hung 
 from the sweep, and the mill was completed. Sometimes the pestle 
 was attached to a sapling. Pomp worked faithfully at the Samp-Mill 
 from the time the ice closed the river in the fall until it disappeared in 
 the spring and allowed the transportation of grain in canoes to Shep- 
 herd's Mill, below Waverly, fifty-two miles down the river. Old Pomp 
 seems to have been something of a hunter as well as miller, if we credit 
 the report handed down, that he killed three bucks at one shot as they 
 were feeding upon the moss in the river, and was kicked over a log and 
 into the brush, from the recoil of the gun. He always loaded with a 
 handful of powder and the entire contents of the old-fashioned brass 
 .moulds, — an once ball and nineteen buck-shot of various sizes. 
 
 Colonel Lindsley, soon after his arrival, erected a saw-mill, the irons 
 for which he brought with him from New Jersey. This mill was 
 erected in 1790 and was one of the first mills on the Phelps and Gor- 
 ham purchase, and the first in the Tioga valley. It was located at a 
 fall, a short distance up Watson creek. The first grist-mill was built 
 soon after between this and the river, by David Cook, David Payne and 
 Ebenezer Bachus, a son-in-law of Colonel Lindsley. 
 
 Biographical. — Colonel Eleazer Lindsley was born in New Haven, 
 •Conn., December 7, 1737. He afterward resided in New Jersey and 
 ^during the years of the revolution was an active officer of the ' ' Jersey 
 !Blues." In company with his son-in-law, Captain John Seelye, he ex- 
 plored the "Genesee Country," about Geneva and the lakes, but on ac- 
 count of its low and marshy situation, did not consider it a healthful 
 location, and after exploring farther south, purchased township number 
 one, of the second range of the Phelps and Gorham purchase. 
 
 The goods of the first settlers were transported in wagons to the Sus- 
 quehanna at Wilkesbarre. 
 
 The families and baggage were transferred to two ten ton-boats and 
 propelled up the river by means of poles, while the horses and cattle, 
 ■of which there were thirty or forty head, were driven along the trails or 
 :rude roads, on the bank. On June 7, 1790, the colony reached their 
 destination, and landed on the west bank of the Tioga, about opposite 
 .the present residence of A. Bradley Lindsley in this town. Two 
 .sons of Colonel Lindsley's, Samuel and Eleazer and five sons-in- 
 law, Doctor Mulford, Ebenezer Bachus, Captain John Seelye, Doc- 
 tor Hopkins and David Payne, started with the colony from New 
 Jersey. Dr. Hopkins remained at Tioga Point to practice his pro- 
 fession. The others settled near Colonel Lindsley. The Colonel also 
 ^brought a number of slaves with him . Just how many is unknown , but 
 :it is said that he gave a slave to each of his children and of these he had

 August 10, 17S0. 
 
 Colonel and Mrs. Lindsley were members of the Presbyterian church., 
 at Morristown, N. J. In his settlement the Sabbath was strictly 
 observed. Traveling missionaries < were always welcomed, and when 
 none such were present, the settlers were collected to hear a sermon, 
 read by Colonel Lindsley, himself. A horn was sounded to assemble.- 
 the people for these services . 
 
 In 1793 Colonel Lindsley was elected a member of the state legis- 
 lature. He died at home on June 1, 1794, and was buried at sun-set on 
 the same day. His remains were the first to be placed in the plot he- 
 had selected for a cemetery. His wife, Mary Miller Lindsley, died 
 November 20, 1806. Eleazer Lindsley, Jr., was for several years a. 
 judge of the count}' court. He died in May, 1825. 
 
 Mrs. Lindsley, after the death of her husband, kept the first public- 
 house between Williamsport, Pa., and Bath, and entertained ColoneL 
 Williamson and his companions on their early journey through the 
 wilderness.

 E. Lindsley Mulford, became known through the country as a woods- 
 man and hunter, living a life of adventure with a young Indian for 
 some years. Jeremiah and Eleazer were intimately connected with the 
 early development of the village of Lindley, which was built upon their 
 farms. Eleazer Mulford, the last survivor of the Lindsley colony, who 
 came in 1790, died in 1871. In 1811, he was married as before stated, 
 to Betsey Lillibridge, who had come to the settlement to teach school. 
 Castilla Mulford was the father of Gen. John E. Mulford who acquired 
 a national reputation by his connection with the exchange of prisoners 
 during the war of the rebellion. Eliza, the first child born in the colony 
 was the mother of Rodney Bachus, the inventor.

 David Cook, a soldier of the revolutionary war, came to this town 
 from Long Island in the year 1790, with Colonel Lindsley. His first 
 habitation was built of logs on the east bank of the Tioga, about oppo- 
 site the present residence of Arthur Cook. In company with Robert 
 Patterson, another pioneer, he went in a canoe to Tioga Point (now 
 Athens), Pa., to mill. Returning, they brought with them four young 
 apple trees, and each set out two on his place. They were thefirst ap-

 time mostly to farming. He has been several times elected justice of 
 the peace. On April 5, 1832, he married Phoebe, (born November 1, 
 1 8 14), daughter of Silas Cook, by whom he had nine children. 
 
 James Sherwood came from New York city in 1835, and located at 
 Erwin Centre where he engaged in lumbering. In 1850 he removed 
 to Corning where he purchased considerable land on the flat in the 
 eastern part of the city. He married Sarah Cushman of Otsego coun- 
 ty, and five children were born to them as follows: Elizabeth, Ann, 
 (Mrs. Stewart), Delos, of Corning, John B.,who died in the army, and 
 Eliza. Delos enlisted, in the regular army in 1857, Co. K, 3rd United 
 States Artillery. He came home in i860, and in 1861 , on the breaking 
 out of the rebellion, re-enlisted in Co. D, 23rd Regt. N. Y. Vols.,

 served two years and again re-enlisted in Co. G, 161st Regt. N. Y., 
 was transferred to Co. B, was made ist Sergent and served until 1S66. 
 
 George B. Pepper was born in German}-, and when very young came 
 to this country with his parents who located in New York city. When 
 a lad of ten years he left home and was engaged on the rivers, and came 
 by canal to Corning. He came to this town and entered the services 
 of Joseph Rorabaugh, with whom he resided until about twenty -two 
 years of age. He married Man-, daughter of Jared Upham. 
 
 William Camp was born in Connecticut about 1808, and in 1842 
 came to this town and settled at, what was then known as Harrower- 
 town, near Benjamin Harrower's mills, on the west side of the river. 
 His wife was Rhoda Graves of Genesee Forks. 
 
 Thomas J., son of Jcsiah X. and Bestey (Curtis) Presho, was born 
 in Broome count}', X. Y., August 21, 1S28. The family lived at Dal- 
 ton, near Pittsfield, Mass., prior to their settlement in Broome county. 
 The subject of this notice, after a residence of some years in Bradford 
 county, Pa., came to Erwin Centre, (now Presho) in 1855, where he 
 engaged in the grocery business, and also dealt extensively in lumber. 
 Through his influence a switch was put in at that point, which from 
 time to time was lengthened as business required until it is now nearly 
 a mile in length. On the establishment of a station here, he was ap- 
 pointed station agent, was first telegraph operator, and has been post- 
 master for eight years regardless of the changes of administrations. For 
 two terms he has represented his town on the board of supervisors, and 
 has been twice elected town clerk. His wife was Emeline Watkins, of 
 Bradford count}', Pa. 
 
 James A. Rogers was born in Canton, Bradford county, Pa., January 
 2, 1S27. From the age of eighteen until he became thirty he was en- 
 gaged in teaching. He was also a farmer, and for many years lived 
 upon the farm which his grandfather had cleared, about one hundred 
 years ago. On July 25, 1S62. he enlisted in the 132 Regt. Pa. Vols. 
 Inft. and served eleven months, when he was promoted to the 
 office of first lieutenant. On account of sickness he returned home in 
 January, 1863. In the spring and summer of 1S64 he raised a company 
 of volunteers and again went out, serving with Colonel — afterward 
 Brigadier General — Cox, and served until the close of the war. Mr. 
 Rogers is a prominent citizen of this town, to which he came in 1S70. 
 
 Richard S. Stowell was born in Bainbridge, Chenango county , N.Y., 
 September 22, 18 15. After a residence in Elmira of about three years 
 he came to this town in 1871, having purchased the Harrower farm, 
 about one mile below Lindley. In 1874 he was elected a justice of 
 sessions, which office he held for fifteen years, or up to the time of his 
 death, which occurred on May 24, 18S8. He married Almira Vinton,

 a descendant of an old New England family, and by whom he had four 
 children, viz.: E. Jennie, and Mrs. A. B. Young of Norwich, Marcus, 
 at present supervisor of the town of Lindley, and Henry. 
 
 Asa C, son of Asel Hill, came to this town in 1872. He married 
 Eliza, daughter of Nathaniel Rowley, of Apalachin, Tioga county, 
 N. Y. Their children are Ervin J., Mordecai P. and Nettie Belle. 
 
 William Moore, one of the most extensive farmers in the southern 
 part of the county, has been for many years a resident and representa- 
 tive citizen of the town. Hiram Middlebrook, S. M. Morgan and Rev. 
 W H. Hill have been leading business men here. 
 
 In 1804, James Ford came from the east as the clerk of John P. Rog- 
 ers, buying a stock of goods and opening the first store in the valley, 
 below Cook's creek. Amos Halsey came after the colony and was ac- 
 cidentally killed in 1802. Joshua Russell came into the town in 1823, 
 and settled at the mouth of Mulford creek. Robert, a brother of Ben- 
 jamin Patterson, the scout and hunter, who participated in the engage- 
 ment at Freeling's Fort and other scenes of the Indian wars, was one 
 of the early settlers, removing from the old tavern at Knoxville, and 
 locating at the mouth of the creek which bears his name, in 1804. 
 
 The old Lindsley homestead was located about ten rods below the 
 present residence of A. Bradley Lindsley. This was a framed structure. 
 The exact location of the first habitation is not known. Doubtless it 
 was of logs and not very distant from the later residence. William 
 Lindsley lived also on the west-side river road, on the place now oc- 
 cupied by James B. Harrower, near the state line. James Ford, who 
 came from New Jersey, settled where Elam Watson now lives. Ben- 
 jamin Harrower, who came in 1816, settled on the farm now owned by 
 Marcus and Henry Stowell where he afterward built a gang-mill at the 
 narrows. He owned about two thousand acres of land here and was 
 extensively erfgaged in lumbering. Prior to the coming of Harrower, 
 Lyman Tremain had settled above the Harrower property; Jared But- 
 ler, from Guilford, Chenango county, and William Chilson settled be- 
 low Benjamin Harrower; and Parker B. Crandall about the same time 
 settled below them. At Erwin Centre or Presho, Henry and Ethan Pier 
 had settled. Russell and Julius Tremain, brothers of Lyman, who came 
 from Butternuts in Otsego couty, located here and Joseph Upham, also 
 from Otsego county, had purchased a small place. Elijah Knapp 
 from Onondaga county, had settled where William Moore now lives in 
 Lindley, prior to 1816. Soon after, if not previous to 1820, Abram 
 Kinney lived just south of the site of the Presho station. South of him 
 was the location of Hezekiah Collins, who came from Rhode Island. 
 John P. Ryess from Staten Island, was here about 18 10. He owned 
 a tract of about three thousand acres. The next habitation was that of

 Silas Cook, where his son Arthur now lives. Next was Robert Patter- 
 son, where the widow Patterson resides; next was Frederick Heckart, 
 from Harrisburgh, Pa.; next Abner Thurber, from Saratoga county; 
 next in order were Jeremiah Mulford, Joseph Miller, Capt. John Seelye, 
 Daniel R., William and Micajah, his sons. About 1829, the Camp 
 farm above Lindley was owned by a man named Hollenback, but oc- 
 cupied by Michael R. Tharp, surveyor. The James Rogers lot was 
 owned by a Philadelphia man named Waller. In 1833, there was a 
 great freshet and a consequent loss of logs and lumber out of the river. 
 Again in 1837 a far more serious one, which, combined with the panic 
 of that year, proved disastrous to some of the proprietors and brought 
 much suffering upon the settlers throughout the valley. For several 
 3'ears subsequent to this there were no settlements back from the river 
 There was a sparse settlement at Caton Centre previous to 1829, with a 
 bridle path through the woods from the Tioga valley. 
 
 The first burying-ground in the town was the present Lindsley family 
 burying-ground set apart by Colonel Lindsley for this purpose. This 
 spot had been used by the Indians as a burial plot, for Indian remains 
 have often been exhumed here. People frequently buried their dead on 
 their own farms. 
 
 David Cook and Elizabeth Cady were the the first couple united in 
 marriage in this town. Of the slaves brought by the colonists from New 
 -Jersey, some of their descendants are still living in various parts of the 
 county. "Old Pomp" fell a victim to the fever epidemic, after tend- 
 ing the sick during the terrible winter of 1812-13. The first post-office 
 was at Judge Lindsley 's house, and afterward — in 1S30 — at the store of 
 Lyon & Morgan, Albert Morgan being postmaster. Rev. David Har- 
 rower, a Scotch Presbyterian minister, lived in Lindley at that date, 
 and preached in the surrounding county-. Lime was burned at this 
 point from marl taken from the hills, in 1S46. The line of road past 
 the Patterson place, was in earlier days, a well-known racing-ground, 
 and the scene of many a rural frolic among the hardy pioneers and their 
 children. Colonel Lindsley portioned his lands to his children and fol 
 lowers in long strips across the town, the old partition surveys still an- 
 annoying their possessors by their inconvenient angles. 
 
 From the opening of the railroad with its wooden track and thin strap 
 rails from Corning up the valley to- the Blossburg coal-mines in 1840, 
 the real settlement of the town outside the valley may be said to have 
 begun. 
 
 At the first annual town-meeting in the town of Lindsley'- 1 '- held in the

 school-house at Envin Centre on February 6, 1838. Benjamin Har- 
 rower was elected supervisor and Chaunce5 r Hoffman town clerk. At 
 this eleetion it was voted to elect an officer to protect game, and to 
 double the amount of school money. 
 
 Lindley, a post-hamlet, situated near the centre of the town of Lind- 
 ley, has two churches, Methodist Episcopal and Free Methodist, a town 
 hall, school, saw, planing and feed-mill, blacksmith-shop, wagon-shop, 
 two stores and aboutfifty families. It is a station on the F. B. C. Co's 
 railroad. 
 
 Presho, formerly Erwin Centre, — so called because it was the centre 
 of the town of Erwin before Lindley was taken off — is located near the 
 northern boundary of the town of Lindley on the F. B. C. Co's railroad. 
 It contains one church, built for a union church, but soon after, for 
 some unexplained reason, dedicated as a Methodist house, two stores, 
 one blacksmith and wagon repair-shop, a school, and thirty or forty 
 families. Formerly it was a great lumbering point, but now is the cen- 
 tre of quite an extensive tobacco growing and farming district. On 
 January 9, 1888, the post-office was changed to Presho, in honor of one 
 of the most public-spirited citizens of the hamlet, Thomas J. Presho, 
 and on May 13, following, the name of the station and express office 
 were changed to Presho. 
 
 Manufactures . 
 
 The Gcrmania Tannery is located on Cook's creek, near its junction 
 with the Tioga, about one mile north of Lindley post-office. It was 
 built about 1865-66 by Gideon Wales. The present owner is Mrs. Em - 
 eline Heintzelman, who has given power of attorney to Barnes & Mer- 
 ritt of Frankfort street, New York; and all hides are furnished by them 
 and the leather shipped to their establishment. The manager at the 
 works is I. Clineburg, and the superintendent Ernest E. Clineburg. 
 
 H. M- McCullough 's steam saw, platting, feed and shingle-mill was 
 built by Mr. McCullough in 1886, and is located near Presho. It is run 
 by a twenty-five horse-power engine and employs four men. The ca- 
 pacity is about 8,000 feet in ten hours. 
 
 Lindley Mills are run by steam power, and have a capacity of about 
 
 6,000 feet. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 The First Baptist Church was organized June 13, 1841, under the 
 preaching of Rev. Thomas Sheardown, five being baptized the next 
 Sunday. Albert C. Morgan was chosen clerk. Preaching was supplied 
 then at the school houses until a union was effected with the church of 
 Lawrenceville, Pa., in March, 1844. The organization failed to appear 
 at the annual association after 1846, and ceased to exist about 1864. 
 
462 TOWN OF PRATTSBURGH. 
 
 The Free Methodist Church was organized under the preaching of John 
 W. Sawyer, in 1866, and a church built in 1867. 
 
 Tlie Methodist Episcopal Church was organized at Erwin Centre in 
 1850. In 1 86 1 the class was changed from the Painted Post to the Tus- 
 carora charge until 1866, when it became a separate charge. 
 
 The Independent Church of Lindley was organized May 20, 1875. May 
 22, 1877, the church was changed to the Baptist Church of Lindley, 
 and a delegation appointed to represent the church at the next session 
 of the Baptist Association. 
 
 PRATTSBURGH * is centrally situated upon the northern border of 
 the county. It is bounded north by Naples, in Ontario county 
 and Italy .in Yates county, east by Pulteney, south by Wheeler 
 and Urbana, and west by Cohocton. The surface of the town is a hilly 
 upland, broken by the valleys of several small streams, flowing in a 
 southwesterly direction. The principal streams are Five Mile, Ten 
 Mile and Twelve Mile creeks. The valley at Prattsburgh village is 
 1,400 feet above tide, and the hills are from three to four hundred feet 
 higher. The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam, adapted to pasturage 
 and to the growth of cereals, fruit and vegetables. The population of 
 Prattsburgh in 1890 was 2,173. 
 
 This township originally constituted parts of "Townships No. 6, in the 
 Third and Fourth Ranges of Phelps' and Gorham's purchase, and was 
 bought by contract of the agent of the Pultenej- estate in the year 1802, 
 b} T Capt. Joel Pratt, of Columbia county, and William Root, of Albany 
 county. 
 
 The township was organized from Pultene}-, April 12, 1813, and con- 
 tained at that time half the town of Wheeler. Subsequently half of the 
 township adjoining on the west was added to it. The half township 
 taken from this to form Wheeler was detached in 1820, and a portion 
 was added to Cohocton in 1874. 
 
 Early Settlement. — The first family that settled in Prattsburgh was 
 Jared Pratt, from Spencertown, Columbia count}-, and his youngbride, 
 who came here on an ox-sled with a load of their household goods, in 
 February, 1801. He settled on the Wheeler farm on the Bath road. 
 
 Capt. Joel Pratt, the pioneer proprietor of the town of Prattsburgh, 
 was originally from Colchester, Conn. He married Mary Beach Fowler, 
 of Hebron, Conn. In the year 1799 he visited this county on horse- 
 back, and provided for the building of a cabin on Hemlock Hill, four 
 miles west of Pleasant Valley. The following year — in the month of

 port.

 February — Capt. Pratt and his son Harvey, with four ox-teams, six 
 men and needful tools and provisions, came into the town and to the 
 location of the cabin built the previous year. They got there in the 
 night and found that the sleepers of the rude cabin had been torn up by 
 the Indians, consequently they cut hemlock boughs and used them for 
 a temporary floor. They cleared one hundred and ten acres of hea\*3 r 
 forest, and sowed the same to wheat the following fall. After the wheat 
 was sown, Captain Pratt and his son returned to Columbia county, and 
 the other men of the company scattered in different directions. In 
 February, 1801, Captain Pratt and and Harvey returned, and Joel Pratt 
 and wife accompanied them. On the arrival of the company in 1800, 
 not a tree had been cut in what is now the town of Prattsburgh. The first 
 harvest was a prolific one. Thegrain was cut with sickles by men obtained 
 from Bath and Pleasant Valley, then the onlj' near settlements, and 
 stored in a barn built the same season, with lumber hauled up the long, 
 steep hill from Pleasant Valley. It was threshed the succeeding winter 
 with flails, hauled to Bath with ox-teatns,a part of it manufactured into 
 flour atid all of it stored, and the whole product floated to Baltimore on 
 arks in the spring of 1802, where Captain Piatt sold it for something 
 over $2.50 a bushel, and returned on foot with nearly $8,000 in his 
 pocket. In October, 1802, he brought his family, coming with horses 
 and ox-teams, and was eighteen days in making the trip from Spencer- 
 town. The}- settled on Hemlock Hill. In 1805 he moved into a house 
 which he built of hewn logs on the site of the present residence of Wil- 
 liam B. Pratt. 
 
 Uriah Chapin came from Spencertown with his family, in 1802, set- 
 tling on lands now owned by Julius Stickney in the town of Wheeler. 
 Chapin had accompanied Pratt to this town the year previous. Jared 
 Pratt also made a clearing in the town of Prattsburgh, four acres of it 
 lying on what was long known as the Beach farm. 
 
 Rev. John Xiles came to Prattsburgh accompanied by his family, in 
 the autumn of 1803. He was a licentiate of a Congregational associa- 
 tion, and principal of an academy at Clinton, Oneida county, but on ac- 
 count of feeble health, he desired to combine with ministerial work, the 
 invigorating labor of an agriculturist. 
 
 His first religious services, and the first public services in the town, 
 were held in the house of Jared Pratt, a rude log structure, where Lu- 
 ther W'heeler's house now stands. The congregation consisted of eight 
 persons— Mr. Niles and his little son George, Jared Pratt and wife, Miss 
 Anna Pratt, Harvey Pratt and Daniel Buel. Captain Pratt gave to Mr. 
 Niles a farm of eighty acres as an inducement to settle here. It was a 
 portion of the Israel B. VanHousen farm. 
 
 William P. Curtis, Samuel Tuthill and Pomeroy Hull came in the

 Deacon Ebenezer Rice, Robert Porter, Deacon Gamalial Loomis, Sam- 
 uel Ha}-es, Deacon Abiel Lindsley, Moses Lyon, Asher Bull, Roban 
 Hillis and Stephen Prentiss. 
 
 In 1805 Mr. Prentiss, Wareham Parsons and Aaron Cook, purchased 
 adjoining farms in that part of the town known as West Hill. The same 
 year Mr. Prentiss occupied the place he there selected. Mr. Parsons 
 the next year settled on his farm and the year following Deacon Cook 
 became a permanent resident and occupied his place till the day of his 
 death. In 1807 Michael Keith purchased and began the cultivation of 
 a farm at Ingleside, where he lived in undisturbed solitude till the ad- 
 vent of Thomas Riker and William Drake in 18 10. 
 
 The locations of the settlers that came in between the years 1800 and 
 1 8 10, were as follows: Beginning on the west side of the park, were

 ex-United States minister to Austria. On the street leading east from 
 the Prentiss place to Pulteney, lived Hezekiah Lane and brother, Mich- 
 ael Gillett and Gamalial Loomis. Another road leading to Pulteney 
 was early settled by John and Mark Hopkins, brothers. Josiah, the son 
 of Mark Hopkins, now lives on the farm. On the street leading to 
 Penn Yan was the house of Robert Porter, which was the first painted 
 house between Bath and Geneva, — a distance of forty -six miles — and

 tees of Franklin Acadeni3', and has been a liberal supporter of educa- 
 tional interests, and was largely instrumental in making the public 
 park. In 1879 Mr. Pratt received the nomination to the highest office 
 to which an j' citizen of Prattsburgh was ever nominated, that of state 
 senator, and ran against Ira Davenport of Bath. Mr. Pratt had his 
 choice between the nomination for that office and the assembly. Xot 
 desiring an election to any public office, he accepted that of senator, as 
 the one which he was the least likely to be elected to. He has been 
 married three times; first, to Martha J. McNair, of West Sparta, Liv- 
 ingston county, in 1847; next to Mrs. Hester (Babcock) Carr; and for 
 his third wife he married Cornelia P., daughter of Henry and Mary A. 
 Brother, of Bath. 
 
 Otis, son of Jesse and Martha Waldo, was born December 28, 1794, 
 in Connecticut. He came with his parents to this town, and in 18 15 
 commenced for himself. He died in 1820. 
 
 William Scutt came from Oneida, Madison county, in 1814, and took 
 up forty acres, now a part of the Truman Ford farm. His son Corne- 
 lius took up a farm at Scuttsville, and later the farm was occupied by 
 his widow. 
 
 William Bennett came from Connecticut in 18 19, and located on the 
 Samuel Bennett farm. 
 
 George Cook was born in England, and came to America in 18 17. 
 For six years he lived near Geneva, then came to this town and settled 
 on the George Briglin farm. He married Catharine lies in England, 
 by whom he had one child, Hannah, widow of Robert Briglin. 
 
 Robert Briglin was born in England and came with his parents to 
 this country in 18 17. This family also lived for a time near Geneva, 
 then came to this town. He married Hannah Cook. 
 
 Henry Storms came from Montgomery county about 1818, and set- 
 tled on what was known as Storms hill. His wife was Elizabeth Dy- 
 gett, by whom he had nine children: John, Silas, Merinda, Peter, Syl-

 vanus, Cornelius, Edward and Edwin (twins), and Mary. John mar- 
 ried Celia, daughter of Seth Wheeler. Their children were Gabriella,. 
 who, died at eight years of age; Adrith; Er, who died at the age of three 
 years; Guy, who died in infancy; Ida; Imogene; Margelia and Viola. 
 
 David Weld, born in Charlton, Mass., in 1773, was a grandson of a 
 native of Wales, who immigrated to America in an early day. In 1805 
 David Weld married Hannah Foster, a lady of English descent, in 
 Duchess county, N. Y. In the spring of 18 10 they moved with their 
 little effects to Middletown, Delaware county. The country being new 
 they had to undergo the privations usually attendant upon settlers in 
 new countries. Stopping there a few years and acquiring a little prop- 
 erty, in 1830 they moved to Prattsburgh and soon possessed themselves 
 of about four hundred acres of real estate. Mr. Weld died January 18. 
 1853, and his wife, who was born in 1787, died June 14, 1865. 
 
 Philo Lewis, only child of Dr. P. K. and Mrs. Sarah Jane Stoddard, 
 was born in Prattsburgh, July 2, 1854. His mother died when he was 
 two days old, and from that time until, he reached the age of a year and 
 four months his father had almost the sole care of him. Filling for so 
 long the place of both father and mother to him, it is not strange that 
 Dr. Stoddard's relations toward his son were peculiarly tender and close 
 through life. And when he stood at the death-bed of this loved son, 
 feeling that with his death life ended for himself, his words were: "O, 
 Absalom my son, would God I had died for thee ! " 
 
 In September, 1856, Dr. Stoddard married Sarah Cowing, and from 
 that time the child never knew the want of a mother's love and tender 
 care. His love for his step-mother was the same that he would have 
 given to the mother he never knew. At five years of age his father 
 taught him to read by the word method, and he was probably the first 
 child in Prattsburgh who, at six years old, ever could read understand- 
 ing^ and fluently any book suited to children before he knew his let- 
 ters. His subsequent education was received at Franklin Academy, 
 Prattsburgh, and at the age of sixteen was prepared to enter college, 
 but on account of a troublesome cough it was thought best that he 
 should wait a year before entering. During the following winter, 
 while teaching a country school, he had a slight hemorrhage of 
 the lungs. This was the first intimation to himself and to his parents 
 of a tendency to consumption. On this account he gave up all thought 
 of a college course, knowing that his health would not permit it, and 
 entering his father's office he began his studies for the profession — den- 
 tistry — in which he was afterward so successful. 
 
 In 1874 he married Anna G. Brundage, and of this union were born 
 two children: Grace B., born April 5, 1876, and Charles L., born Oct- 
 ober 5, 1878. These children, with their mother, survive him.

 In his profession he early evinced unusual skill and in October, 1881 
 lie entered the Philadelphia Dental College, from which he was gradu- 
 ated in March, 1882, with high honors, standing first in a class of fifty- 
 six as an operater in gold fillings, and ranking high in other depart- 
 ments. Receiving his degree of D. D. S., he returned to Prattsburgh 
 and began his practice. From this time he took his place as one of 
 Prattsburgh's prominent and honored citizens. He was the instigator 
 and one of the organizers of the first fire company there, and was its 
 foreman as long as he remained in the village. In April, 1885, he re- 
 moved to Geneseo, Livingston county, where his exceptional ability 
 soon brought him a large and very remunerative practice, his genial 
 manners gained for him a host of warm personal freinds, and his rare 
 ■.skill as an operating dentist was soon recognized and appreciated, not 
 only by grateful patients but by eminent members of the profession. 
 
 During all these years he was not only doing his duty to his family 
 and his profession, but was struggling with his insidious enemy — con- 
 sumption. Two extended journeys, taken to strengthen his lungs, were 
 ^temporarily beneficial, but it soon became evident to his friends and to 
 .himself as well, that he was doomed. In the summer of 1887 a severe 
 ^hemorrhage left him in such condition that he was compelled to give 
 aip his practice, and in October he returned to his father's home in 
 Prattsburgh, where, on November 26th, he died. 
 
 With indomitable courage he had struggled with his grim foe for 
 weight years. He could indeed say "I have fought the fight." At the 
 age of thirty- four his life ended. His years were few; "his sun" as 
 •one one expressed it "going down at noon," his bright prospects for 
 future usefulness and prosperity only making his early death more pa- 
 thetic and harder for his friends to bear. 
 
 "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; 
 In feelings, not in figures on a dial. 
 We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives 
 Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. ' ' 
 
 So counted, his years were many. 
 
 Following is an extract from resolutions passed by the Seventh Dis- 
 trict Dental Association, of which he was a member, on his death: 
 
 ' ' His ambition was not simply to get something to do but to do well 
 and perfectly his work. He had achieved for a young man a high pro- 
 fessional standing, won by his urbane and gentlemanly bearing in pro- 
 fessional gatherings, as well as by the quality of his operations. 
 
 "Socially he was a warm friend, and had attained a desirable place 
 an general society and among his professional friends and contempora- 
 ries." 
 
 An extract from the Prattsburgh News shows how his death was re- 
 garded in the place where the greater part of his life had been spent: 
 
470 TOWN OF PRATTSBURGH. 
 
 "The honored, the trusted, the tried, the true; the one loved most by 
 those who knew him best. Just on the threshold of a future radiant 
 with promise — with capabilities in ample measure to round out and 
 crown a noble life, his work closed. What he had already achieved,, 
 gave earnest of what might have been. ' ' 
 
 Dr. P. Iy. Stoddard was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church 
 of Branchport, N. Y., and afterward transferred his church relations to> 
 St. Michael's Protestant Episcopal Church of Geneseo, N. Y. He was- 
 devotedly attached to the ritual of the Episcopal Church, and responded! 
 generously to all calls made in the^name of the church. 
 
 Physicians. — Philo K. Stoddard, M. D., was born in the town of Je- 
 rusalem, Yates county, N. Y., September 28, 1825. The ancestor of ' 
 the Stoddard family was of English birth, and settled in Northampton, 
 Mass. The great-grandfather Stoddard removed to Danbury, Conn.,. 
 where he raised seven children, five of whom were sons and fit for mili- 
 tary duty at the time of the revolutionar}' war, viz., Benjamin, Joel, 
 Mosely, C3 r renus and Darius. The grandfather, Cyrenus, enlisted in: 
 the war for independence, suffered from scurvy* and was for three days, 
 and nights at one time on a picket boat on Lake Champlain without ra- 
 tions or once being relieved from duty. After the war he was pensioned- 
 He married Candace Mix, lived in Greene county, N. Y., and afterward; 
 moved to Cherry Valley. Their children were Saba, Philo, Cyrus, 
 Benjamin, Orra, Olive and Esther. Benjamin, father of Dr. Stoddard,, 
 was born in 1796, in Cherry Valley, Otsego county, N. Y., and was the 
 first to settle on lot 12 of the Green Tract, in Jerusalem township, Yates, 
 county, N. Y. In 1818 he married Hannah Kelly, also a native of Ot- 
 sego county. Mr. Stoddard held a captain's commission in the 103d. 
 Regiment Infantry, granted by Gov. T. Throop, in 1828, and a lieuten- 
 ant's commission, previously given by Governor Yates. He also held 
 several town offices. Hediedjune 4, 1878. Their children are Ches- 
 ter (deceased), Survina, Charles, Philo K., Susan, Ann, Esther, and 
 Thomas F. Dr. Stoddard received his preliminary education at the- 
 common school and at Franklin Academy. At the age of sixteen he- 
 was a teacher, by which occupation and by farm labor he acquired suf- 
 ficient means to enable him to prosecute his studies. He was a teacher 
 for six terms in the common school and one term in the Franklin Acad- 
 emy. At the age of twenty he began the study of medicine with Dr.. 
 Elisha Doubleday, of Italy Hill. After one year he became a student 
 with Dr. Andrew D. Vorhees of Prattsburgh , with whom he remained 
 two years in the study of medicine and also learned dentistry. He at- 
 tended lectures at Geneva Medical College in 1845-46; subsequently at 
 Buffalo Medical College, from which latter institution he was graduated. 
 M. D. in June, 1848, and the same year settled in Prattsburgh, N. Y...

 where he has remained in the practice of medicine, surgery and dentistry 
 ever since. Solicited by the war committee at Elmira, he became a vol- 
 unteer surgeon in the service of the United States immediately after the 
 second battle of Bull Run, and was for a short time stationed at the 
 Armory Square Hospital, D. C. In September, 1863, he received a com- 
 mission as assistant surgeon in the 161st Regiment, and was with this 
 regiment until the close of the war ; was in the battles of Mansfield, 
 Pleasant Hill, Spanish Fort, and the capture of Mobile. Several times 
 Dr. Stoddard was detailed to take charge of hospitals. He had charge 
 of General Bailey's brigade hospital at Vicksburg for a short time; of 
 smallpox hospital at White River Landing; and received several compli- 
 mentary appointments from General Franklin for his well-known faith- 
 fulness and sobriety , not less than for his skillful service as a surgeon , 
 and was detailed by him to take charge of a boat-load of three hundred 
 wounded from Grand Ecore to New Orleans, after the battles of Mans- 
 field and Pleasant Hill, and for a short time prior to the breaking up 
 of the war he was stationed at the Dry Tortugas with his regiment. At 
 the close of the war he was honorably discharged and resumed his busi- 
 ness in Prattsburgh, and has since continuously prosecuted not only the 
 practice of medicine and surgery, but of dentistry. Besides his profes- 
 sional duties, he is interested in farm stock and in 1875 introduced the 
 first thoroughbred Jersey cattle into Prattsburgh; in 1879 the first thor- 
 oughbred Holsteins. July 4, 1850, he married Sarah Jane, daughter 
 ter of Sebastian Lewis of Prattsburgh. Of this union was born one son, 
 Philo I,. Mrs. Stoddard died July 4, four years after her marriage, 
 and in September, 1856, Dr. Stoddard married Sarah, daughter of Al- 
 bert Cowing, of the town of Jerusalem, Yates county, N. Y. 
 
 Dr. David A. Dean, son of Horace and Euphemia (Doty) Dean, was 
 born in Tyrone, then Steuben county, January 20, 1835. His father 
 was a farmer and the doctor had such early educational advantages as 
 the common schools then afforded, supplemented with a few terms at 
 the academies. In 1859 he entered the office of Dr. E. W. Rogers, of 
 Crystal Springs, where he remained during the winter season of four 
 years. In the fall of 1863 Dr. Dean received a five months' course of 
 lectures in Hyeo Theraputic College of New York City. He returned 
 and spent the next year in practice with his tutor, Dr. Rogers. In the 
 winter of 1877-78 he resumed his studies at the Pulto Medical College 
 of Cincinnati, O. , where he graduated in 1878. Since then he has suc- 
 cessfully practiced his profession in Wayne, and in Prattsburgh since 
 about 1 88 1. 
 
 Dr. William G. Look was born in Prattsburgh August 30, 1831. 
 His father, Sjdvester Look, was born at Hector in January, 1 801, came 
 to Prattsburgh in 1824. About 1825 he married Mary Bidwell, of 
 
472 TOWN OF PRATTSBURGH. 
 
 Prattsburgh, who was born in 1804. A few years after he settled in 
 Prattsburgh he began the botanical practice of medicine, which he made 
 his life work for a period of fifty years. He died in Bath, where he had 
 resided about ten years, on August 20, 1879. Dr. William G. Look 
 was educated in the common schools, and at Franklin Academy. He 
 studied medicine with his father three years, attended a course of lec- 
 tures at the Eclectic Medical College in Rochester from 1850 to 1852 
 inclusive, attended another course in the Central Medical College, of 
 Syracuse, where he graduated April 20, 1854. He married Martha J., 
 daughter of C. C. Wheeler of Naples, and soon after removed to Allen's 
 Hill, Ontario county, where he practiced until the ensuing fall, when 
 he emigrated to Scott county, Iowa, and there remained in successful 
 practice until the fall of 1857, when he returned to his native town, 
 where he has been in practice up to the present time. In the winter 
 and spring of 1856 he attended another course of lectures at the Amer- 
 ican Medical College, of Cincinnati, O. Most of the time since 1871 
 Dr. Look, in addition to his large practice, has conducted a drug and 
 general grocery store. He enlisted in the 161st Regt. N. Y. Vol's, 
 September 2, 1864, and served one year. 
 
 Dr. James A. Bennett was born in East Avon, Livingston county, 
 N.Y., January 8,1831. His father, A. A. Bennett, was a leadinglawyer 
 of Livingston county, and held the office of district attorney. The sub- 
 ject of this notice received his academic education in Lima Seminary. 
 In 1858, he entered the medical department of the University of the City 
 of New York, where he graduated in the spring of i860, and at once 
 commenced the practice of medicine in the village of Geneseo. In the 
 fall of that season he was elected coroner of his native county. In 1864 
 he accepted the position of assistant surgeon of the 13th N. Y. Heavy 
 Artillery, where he remained on duty until September, 1865, when he 
 was honorably discharged. October 30, 1865, he settled in the village 
 of Prattsburgh, where he is now a leading physician and surgeon. Dr. 
 Bennett is a member of Steuben County Medical Society and has aided 
 its interests by contributing several valuable papers at its sessions. 
 
 Dr. William W. Greene was born in Phelps, Ontario county, October 
 20,1830. Soon after his birth his parents moved to Yates county . He 
 studied medicine in Penn Yan, and has practiced in this town since 
 1856 with the exception of his service in the war of the rebellion. 
 
 Robert J. Scott, son of John V. and Helen (Banta) Scott, was born 
 in the town of Wheeler, April 29,1865. His grandfather, Robert Scott,

 Prattsburgh village at the age of forty-one years, and was the father of 
 the subject of this sketch. Robert J. Scott received his education in 
 Franklin Academy, where he graduated in 1883. In the fall of that 
 year he entered the class of 1887 in Syracuse University, but was com- 
 pelled to abandon a full college course two months later on account of 
 defective eyes. He had previously decided on the medical profession 
 for his life work and in 1885 he again entered the Medical Departm2nt 
 of the Syracuse University and in 1888 graduated with honor at the 
 head of his class, and bore away the first prize for general scholarship. 
 He received the appointment by the University of House Physician and 
 Surgeon of St. Joseph's Hospital of Syracuse, where he performed its 
 duties successfully one year. In the fall of 1889 he returned to Pratts- 
 burgh where he opened an office and commenced the practice of hispro- 
 fession . 
 
 Early Items. — When Captain Pratt came into the town there was no 
 open road, on the route they followed. After getting a few miles this 
 side of Browns', in what is now the town of Jerusalem, the company 
 followed blazed trees for a number of miles on the last of the journey. 
 When within two miles of Hemlock Hill, their destination, they were 
 obliged to sojourn for two days at Deacon Bennett's, till a road could 
 be cut through. In the summer of 1804, Captain Pratt cleared about 
 sixty acres of forest, a part of the A. H. VanHousen premises. It was 
 heavy maple timber and the labor was largely done by three men from 
 Sherburne, they using long pikes and throwing the trees together into 
 immense windrows, which when the foliage was dry were burned. The 
 plot where the village now stands was subsequently cleared by parties 
 from Middletown, now Naples, under the superintendence of Uriel 
 Chapin and William Root. Seventy acres were cleared at one time and 
 sowed with wheat. The first white child born in the town was Marietta, 
 daughter of Jared Pratt. The first death was that of a little daughter 
 of William P. Curtis, who was drowned in a shallow stream of water. 
 A tin horn was blown by the family as a signal of distress, and was 
 heard by Jared Pratt, more than two miles distant, who sped with all 
 haste to the scene of affliction. To obtain flour for his family, Jared 
 Pratt would yoke his oxen, fill his bag with grain, lay it across the yoke 
 of his oxen and drive his team eleven miles to Naples, to the nearest 
 ■mill. The way lay in a dense forest without a habitation. The first 
 framed building erected in the town was a barn built by Joel Pratt in 
 1804. It stood in a lot on Chapel street. At an early time when 
 families were coming in, this barn used to be a common stopping place 
 for them until they could arrange the rude appointments of their own 
 cabins. It was also the usual place of holding worship. The first 
 merchants of the town were Joel Pratt, Jr. , and Ira Pratt. Aaron Bull

 kept the first hotel. It was built of logs and was opened in 1806 or 
 1807. During the year 1S0S, a post-route was established from Geneva 
 to Bath, passing through the village of Prattsburgh, over which mail 
 was carried on horse back once a week. That year the Prattsburgh 
 post-office was established and Joel Pratt, Jr., appointed postmaster. 
 Daniel Cruger. of Bath, who then represented this district in Congress, 
 succeeded in having the mail route from Geneva to Bath changed to the 
 east side of Lake Keuka, thus leaving Prattsburgh unprovided with 
 mail facilities. 
 
 Early Manufactories.— Of the grist-mills of this town the first was 
 built by Judge Robert Porter, and stood on the stream through the val- 
 ley. It was built in 1807 or 1808. The second mill was built by Joel 
 Pratt on the road to West Hill, about 18 r 8. on a small stream passing 
 through the village. It was an overshot mill, with a wheel of twenty- 
 four feet. The castings and necessary irons were made in Albany at a 
 cost of twelve and a half cents a pound, and were brought to Pratts- 
 burgh on wheels. The third mill was built on the main stream, about 
 one hundred rods below the Porter mill , by Horatio and Lewis Hop- 
 kins, now the Cole mill. The fourth mill was built about one and a 
 half miles below, also by H. & L. Hopkins. The fifth and last mill 
 was built by Henry and Ralph Hopkins — sons of Horatio — and located 
 in the village of Prattsburgh. This is a stone structure, built about 
 1SS7. The saw-mills were mostly located on the main stream, 
 while some were on its tributaries. These were built by I. Y. Stone, 
 James Sturdevant, William P. Curtis, J. H. Downs, Hopkins & Howe, 
 Prentiss, Blodgett, Fay, H. & L. Hopkins, A. Waldo, O. Waldo, J. 
 H. Hodgkin, J. DeGolier, Weaver, all of whom are now dead ex- 
 cept J. Hervey Hodgkin. All these mills have gone to ruin, and 
 nearly every trace of them completely obliterated. Of cloth-dressing 
 and carding-mills, Mr. VanDuyn and Mr. Fay each conducted one. 
 H. & L. Hopkins were the earh T distillers of the place. In later years 
 J. Van Valkenburgh and Ira C. Clark were distillers. 
 
 In an early day Henry Allis, who lived on the southeast corner of 
 the park, built an addition to his blacksmith shop for the manufacture 
 of hoes, axes, scythes and iron tools in general. He took water from 
 the creek at the bridge crossing on the Bath road, to his factory in 
 flumes, to turn the wheel which lifted a hammer of eighty pounds 
 weight for the purpose of forging the large bars of iron , all of which 
 were brought from Albany by teams and manufactured into farm imple- 
 ments, to be used in this and adjoining towns. The first tannery in 
 this town was built by Moses Lyon, and the second which soon suc- 
 ceeded it was built by Israel Skinner in connection with a harness and 
 saddle shop. The first cabinet shops were those of Elisha Hopkins 
 
TOWN OF PRATTSBCRGH. 475 
 
 and Austin Johnson. The first shoe-makers were John Hopkins, Tim- 
 othy Skinner and John Barto. The first wagon-maker, Simeon Hayes ; 
 the first blacksmiths Henry Allis and Jesse Waldo. The first marriage 
 in the town was that of Isaac Pardee and a daughter of Deacon Jesse 
 Waldo-. 
 
 Captain Pratt, who at that day was nominally the owner of the town- 
 ship, required of even- purchaser of his land, a note to the Prattsburgh 
 religious society, — a Parsonage note, in the sum of fifteen dollars per 
 year, with use, for the support of the gospel, for every one hundred 
 acres of land purchased ; nor was this the only relic of Puritanism that 
 came with these worthy men from the land of the Blue Laws, as we 
 shall presently see. They were strict observers of the Sabbath, and 
 were zealous to have it commence at sun-down on Saturday, as we see 
 by the following resolution : " Voted, October 11, 1808, that the mem- 
 bers of the church will not attend raisings or other similar associations 
 on Saturday afternoon . ' ' 
 
 A good deacon who was always looking out for "sin," had a man 
 fined ten shillings for traveling through the place on Sunday. The 
 traveler said he was going to attend worship in Jerusalem in the ad- 
 joining county,- — the Friends settlement, — but having no more love for 
 Quakers nor showing them any more mercy than his Xew England an- 
 cestors had shown them before him, the righteous deacon claimed that 
 to the Friends' settlement was more than "a Sabbath, day's journey," 
 and compelled him to pay the fine. Ten shillings was the fine imposed 
 for " playing in church," and it was applied in some cases. 
 
 Says Mr. Hokgkin: 
 
 "I saw a man in his twenties publicly whipped at the sign-post by 
 the constable, for a base crime which he committed on the same da}'. 
 He was arrested on complaint of Jared Pratt, and tried by R. Porter, 
 Esq., Stephen Prentiss, Esq., and Jesse Waldo, Esq. Proof was posi- 
 tive and he was declared guilty. The magistrates were all from Con- 
 necticut. They claimed the\- were afraid to send him to jail for fear he 
 might break out, so they concluded to administer justice according to 
 the custom in Connecticut. They sentenced him to receive on his bare 
 back at the whipping post, thirty-nine lashes. These were administered 
 by Constable Hull, who bought a new raw-hide whip for the occasion. 
 I was a small boy and saw it all. He was stripped of coat, vest and 
 shirt and as they led him out to the sign-post, I saw him drink half a 
 pint of whiskey. His suspenders were tied about his waist, and his 
 hands were fastened up to the post as high as they would reach, and 
 his feet were tied to the foot of the post. Esquire Prentiss counted the 
 blows with a full strong voice. Hull put the blows on strong and they 
 left their mark. After thirty blows had been administered, to each suc- 
 ceeding blow Prentiss would cry out, as he counted, ' Tuck it on, Hull. ' 
 The culprit was then let loose. After a few months he went to Bath to 
 have the magistrates indicted. Judge Matthews told him he could

 make them some trouble, but by doing so, might, himself get into 
 prison." 
 
 Churches. — A church was formed on the Presbyterian and Congrega- 
 tional plan, June 26, 1804, and in 1806 a church was built on the south- 
 east corner of the park. The society was not properly organized until 
 November 16, 1807. At first they determined this house should be 
 built of hewn logs. Captain Pratt retorted upon the embryo society the 
 anathema pronounced against those who dwelt in ceiled houses while 
 the temple of the Lord laid waste. A framed house 22x32 was built, 
 and in a year it was found necessary to enlarge it. It was again en- 
 larged in 1820. 
 
 The first Methodist church organized was about 1829. They built a 
 chapel on Chapel street, which still stands and is now owned by Mrs. 
 Coombs. This society now have a large church and are a flourishing 
 body. Rev. Chandelor Wheeler was their first pastor. 
 
 The first Baptist church was organized on west hill in 1821 , with El- 
 der Nehemiah Lamb as first pastor. In 1822 the society built a large 
 log meettng-house which contained a large fireplace.* After this house 
 was destroyed by fire in 1833, a framed church was built one mile east 
 of the old site at a cost of 1,500, and here the society worshipped until 
 1842, when the membership divided into four parts. The part remain- 
 ing was known as the First Baptist church of Prattsburgh; a part went 
 to Lyons Hollow and was known as the Second Baptist church of Pratts- 
 burgh; another part went to west creek and was known as the West 
 Creek Baptist church, and the fourth part organized in the village as 
 the Prattsburgh Village Baptist church. This society has a member- 
 ship now of sixty-one, and the value of their church and parsonage is 
 estimated at $5,000. Their church was built in 1845. After the divis- 
 ion, each part became feeble and this church is all that remains. 
 
 Educational. — Franklin Academy was built in 18 23, and its first build- 
 ing was 32x52 feet. Since that time it has been enlarged in height 
 and by additions to more than three times its original size. The first 
 principal was Rev. William Beardsley, A. M. The institution has been 
 more successful than its originators ever anticipated, and has had an ex- 
 tended influence. Its title now is Franklin Academy and Union Free 
 School. C. B. Miller, the present principal has four assistants, and 
 the registered attendance of pupils is about two hundred. 
 
 *"I attended service there one Sabbath.and heard the Elder deliver a good sermon 
 during the delivery of which a deacon got up from his seat, went to the fire-place, 
 where he took, a chair and sat down, took out his pipe and went to smoking. About 
 five minutes later a fat oldish lady arose and walked to the other side of the fire- 
 place, took out her pipe, lit and smoked it out. She and the deacon appeared to pay 
 as strict attention to the sermon as any of the worshippers, and I saw no one in the 
 assembly who appeared to notice them any more than if that were the general cus- 
 tom there. "—J. Hervey Hodgkin. 
 
TOWN OF PULTENEY. 477 
 
 Prattsburgh village is located east of the centre of the town on 
 Five Mile creek, and is beautifully situated in a valley of considerable 
 breadth and fertility. Its business blocks and some of its residences 
 face a large public square, thickly set with shade trees. The village 
 contains the Franklin Academy, two banks, two hotels, four general 
 stores, one grocery, two drug stores, two hardware stores, one clothing 
 store, two jewelers' stores, two confectionery and fruit stores, one bak- 
 ery, one merchant tailor, one harness shop, four blacksmith shops, two 
 wagon-shops, planing, matching and scroll-sawing mill, two undertak- 
 ing and furniture establishments, two flouring mills, four churches, 
 (Pres., Bap., Meth. and Roman Catholic), and about three hundred 
 dwellings. 
 
 The village was incorporated in the month of December, 1848, on 
 the petition of Bishop Smith and James H. Hodgkin. 
 
 Lynn P.,0. is located in the southwest corner of the town of Pratts- 
 burgh, and was established for the accommodation of the farmers of 
 that section. The settlement is sparse, there being beside a church 
 (M. E.) a school, a grocery, blacksmith shop and a few dwellings. 
 Their mail service is from Avoca three times a week. 
 
 Ingleside, formerly Riker's Hollow, is a post-hamlet located in the 
 western part of the town of Prattsburgh. 
 
 PULTENEY township is situated on the west shore of Lake Keuka, 
 in the northeast corner of the county. It is bounded north by 
 Jerusalem, in Yates county, east by Lake Keuka, south by Ur- 
 bana, and west by a portion of Urbana and the town of Prattsburgh. 
 It was named in honor of Sir William Pulteney, the proprietor of the 
 Pulteney estate. The town was formed from Bath, February 12,1808. 
 Prattsburgh was taken off in 18 13, and a part of Urbana in 1848. The 
 surface is a rolling upland, from seven to nine hundred feet above the 
 surface of the lake. The declivities along the lake are broken by nu- 
 merous narrow ravines formed by small streams. The soil is chiefly a 
 shaly and gravelly loam, and in some places near the lake, clay pre- 
 dominates. 
 
 The first town meeting for the town of Pulteney was held at the 
 house of Jesse Waldo, on the first Tuesday in March, 1808. Uriel 
 Chapin was chosen supervisor, and Aaron Bell town clerk. It was 
 then "Voted, to build two pounds at the expense of the town, one near 
 the house of Shadrach Norris, the other in the centre of Pulteney So- 
 ciety." 
 
 The population of the town, according to the census of 1890, was 
 1 ,779, a gain of 1 19. John Van Camp and David Thompson appear to

 Wagener, came about 1790, with mill-wrights, and built a mill at the 
 above location, and subsequently built one at Penn Yan. He also kept 
 the first public house there. A son of his, Abraham Yan Wagener, re- 
 membered well to have seen the French Duke Liancourt at his father's 
 inn. Melachor Wagener came to this town in 181 1, and settled on the

 May 19, 1837. At the age of nine years he came to this town where 
 his subsequent education was received, and where he has been engaged 
 in farming and the culture of grapes. 
 
 In 1882, he engaged in the coal, salt and lime business near Pulteney 
 on the lake. Jacob Hess died February 17, 1872, and his wife July 
 24, 1885. 
 
 James H. Giffen has identified himself with the interests of the town, 
 and for a young man has been prominently associated with its public af- 
 fairs. He was born in New York in 1844, and has resided here since 1867, 
 engaged in grape culture. For three years he represented the town 
 in the board of supervisors, and is now serving in the office of mag- 
 istrate. 
 
 Pulteney Village is beautifully situated on a bluff in the eastern 
 part of the town, and commands a fine view of the lake and a consider- 
 able scope of country. It contains two churches (Presbyterian and 
 Methodist Episcopal), a school, two general stores, one hardware store, 
 one furniture and undertaking establishment, two blacksmith -shops, a 
 grape basket factory which turns out 250,000 baskets a season, and 
 about one hundred dwellings. Mail is received daily by stages from 
 Penn Yan, Hammondsport and Prattsburgh. 
 
 The Nichols Block, erected by Dr. Nichols in 1880, is an imposing 
 structure, built of wood 54x70 feet and containing two stores with meat- 
 market in the basement and hall for public entertainments in the second 
 story, which will seat three hundred and fifty. 
 
 The Goodrich Block, substantiaily built of brick, was erected in 1889.

 west of the end of Bluff Point, and a quarter of a mile from Gibson's 
 Landing. (Pulteney post-office). Here for the past twenty-one years 
 right in the heart of the best-producing vineyards of Steuben county, 
 Mr. Foster has given careful attention and study to grape-growing and 
 wine-making. "I make no imitations," he says. "My wines are all 
 true to name, pure and unadulterated." The Pulteney makes no cham- 
 pagnes, but pays special attention to ports, sherries, clarets, sweet and 
 dry Catawba, sweet and dry Isabella, brandy and unfermented commun- 
 ion wine. This is the pure juice of the grape in its natural state and 
 exactly meets the wants of those who object to a fermented wine. Its 
 popularity is attested by the fact that within the past few weeks Mr. 
 Foster has cancelled orders for 13,000 gallons more than he could fill. 
 He guarantees all his wines. 
 
 Churches. — It is said that the first religious denomination in this town 
 was of the Close-Communion Baptist persuasion. Although the Metho- 
 dists had some "forerunners in the wilderness," yet the Baptists had the 
 first organization. There have been two Close-Communion Baptist so- 
 cieties with respectable church buildings, and one Free-Will society, 
 with house of worship. There is a Methodist Episcopal and a Presby- 
 terian church at Pulteney village. There was formerly a Congrega- 
 tional society here. The Seventh- Day Baptists, Christians or Camp- 
 bellites, and Wesleyan Methodists have had societies here. 
 
 RATH BONE is an interior township lying south of the centre of the 
 county, bounded north by Cameron and Thurston, east by Addi- 
 son, south by Tuscaror'a and Woodhull, and west by Woodhull 
 and Cameron. It was named for Gen. Ransom Rathbone who settled 
 in the town in 1842, and who developed the first real business enter- 
 prise in the town. The upland is from three to four hundred feet above 
 the \-alle3-. In some places naked and precipitous ledges of rock crop 
 out on the sides of the declivities. The soil is chiefly a clajey and shaly 
 loam, and in the valleys a rich alluvium. The principal streams are 
 the Canisteo river and a branch of Tuscarora creek. 
 
 The town was formed March 28, 1850, and on May 6, a special elec- 
 tion was held at the house of David A. Fulmer, for the election of 
 town officers. William R. Rathbone was elected supervisor and George 
 W. Young, town clerk. The population of this town in 1890 was 
 1,224. 
 
 Early Settlement. — The first settlement was made by William Benhani, 
 a mile above the east line of the town as now erected. James Hadley 
 is also said to have settled farther up the valley, near the west line of 
 the town, about the same time that Benham settled in the eastern part, 
 
482 TOWN OF RATHBONE. 
 
 as early as 1804. Lemuel Benham entertained travelers on the Benham 
 place. Among the early settlers we find the names of Isaac and Jona- 
 than Tracy, Martin Young, William Morey, Moses Powers, Zepheniah 
 Townsend, Thomas Maybury, and Samuel Colegrove. Abel White, who 
 for many years was known as the most successful hunter and trapper in 
 the town, settled on the flat a mile above the village of Rathbone, on 
 the right bank of the river in 1804. He died in 18 19. In 1806 Jona- 
 than, brother of Isaac Tracy, and Benjamin Riggs made the first im- 
 provement in Rathboneville by building a double log house in what is 
 now the east end of the village, where they lived together while clear- 
 ing the upper portion of the flat, near the bridge. Across the river John 
 Thomas settled near the Tracy habitation at the bend. Isaac and Jona- 
 than Tracy built the first saw- mill, in the town, a few rods from the 
 mouth of Tracy creek. In 1816, Mr. Tracy added a grist-mill. Jacob 
 Cook lived near the present flouring-mill of Rathboneville in 18 10. 
 
 At the time of the first settlemen . , there were but few clearings along 
 the rivers, and these were made, no doubt, by the Indians, upon which 
 during their occupancy, they raised corn, as traces of corn hills were 
 found by the first settlers upon some of the flats. These clearings con- 
 sisted, perhaps, of three or four acres together— sometimes more — and 
 were occupied mostly b\' squatters who would remain but a 3-ear or two, 
 then the place would be occupied by others until the townships were 
 sold off" in lots or tracts, and settlers with undisputed titles took posses- 
 sion. 
 
 Of those who lived here in 1823-24, were Zeno Socrates Selleck.who 
 lived first in the valley and later upon the hill. John Dean, a miller, 
 lived on the lot occupied by the pump station. His house was on the 
 north side of the road just east of the creek. A few apple trees that 
 yet remain mark the place. John Helmer lived where Finla Goff lives, 
 and just east of the present site of the M. E. church at Cameron Mills 
 lived Joseph Gilman and his two sons, Royal and Simon. The sons 
 removed to Iowa, and Royal, during the gold excitement about 1S49, 
 started to California, overland, with an ox team, but was taken with 
 cholera and died on the way. Next down the river lived Joseph Wood, 
 on the widow Crawford farm. The next settlement was that of the 
 Mayburys, where the widow Saunders lives. At the lower end of the 
 narrows, in a log house, lived the widow Powers, the mother of Elder 
 Jerathmael Powers, an early Methodist preacher. A few rods below the 
 widow Powers' house lived Jacob Cole, with a numerous family. On 
 the Mather place, soiith of the river, settled Alexander, John, James 
 and George McDowell, from Ireland. Another brother, Matthew, set- 
 tled where John F. Bowyer lives, on the north side. Again, on the 
 south side, lived a man named William Atherton, on the place now 
 
TOWN OF RATHBONE. 483 
 
 owned by Charles Titus. He only remained a year or two. Curtis 
 Bridgeman lived on the place lately owned by Harvey Burgett. Mar- 
 tin B. Youngs afterward occupied the same place for several years. 
 Next was David Crawford, near the mouth of Tracy creek. He 
 had a saw-mill, and previous to his coming, was built there the 
 grist-mill before mentioned, where they ground, or rather "cracked" 
 corn. Below Crawford's on the south side, lived John Woodcock, who 
 was never known to do much but fish and watch "deer licks" and raise 
 a little corn. At the north end of the bridge in a log house lived Rob- 
 ert, or " Bob " Jones. He was related to the Jones', who settled early 
 in Addison. After the arrival of Isaac Miles, came Garrett Myers, a 
 sailor, who had lived on the North River, in Rockland county. He 
 had two brothers who came with him, and four sons. The latter were 
 named John, Conradt, David and Abram. They were powerfully built 
 men and great workers. The} r all drifted west but John, who returned 
 to his home on the Hudson. Jonathan Herrington came in 1826 or 
 '27. Stephen Willard came from one of the eastern states in 1827 or 
 '28. He brought his mother and a crippled woman known as "Aunt 
 Nabbie." About 1830 he settled where the widow Willard lives. 
 Solomon Torrence moved on Bald Hill at an early day, and reared a 
 numerous family, some of whom are living in neighboring towns. His 
 brother, Austin Torrence, resides in Thurston. Hemingway, ma- 
 ternal grandfather of General Averill, of Bath, settled here not far from 
 1825 or '26. 
 
 We have stated that the Maybury family resided in 1824, where the 
 widow Saunders now lives, about two miles below Cameron Mills. 
 Their home was a harbor for thieves, robbers and counterfeiters. The 
 sheriff ordered the arrest of a son-in-law of the Maybury s, named 
 Douglass, for passing counterfeit mone}-, and a reward of one hundred 
 dollars was offered for his arrest. A man named Ives, who lived on 
 the state road in Troupsburgh, near Grigg's Corners, seeing Douglass 
 coming from Pennsylvania, attempted to arrest him, when the former 
 stabbed and killed him. The state militia were then ordered out to 
 arrest the whole gang, who used to frequent the Maybury place, and not 
 only the militia, but the entire country for miles around came to take a 
 part in or to witness the proceedings. However, Douglass evaded arrest 
 by flying to the woods, and the whole company of would-be captors and 
 their "innumerable cloud of witnesses," remained here a week, and 
 nearly produced a famine in the town. After the militia had returned 
 to their homes, Douglass came out of his hiding place in the night, and 
 appeared at the house of the widow Powers, begging for something to 
 eat, which she furnished him, giving him all she had in the house. He 
 remained in hiding a few days longer, when he appeared at night at the 
 
484 TOWN OF RATH BONE. 
 
 house of James Hallett, his bondsman, who lived where Thomas Hop- 
 kins now lives, above Cameron Mills. Hallet, feigning to befriend him, 
 secreted him in a hay-loft, after which he notified eight or ten of his 
 neighbors and they captured Douglass and delivered him to the author- 
 ities at Bath. He was tried and convicted, but his counsel secured a 
 new trial with change of venu, to Albany. He was again convicted, 
 condemned to be hanged and was duly executed at Bath on what has since 
 been known as "Gallow's Hill, "April 29,1825. Mr. and Mrs.Maybury 
 and three men named Hathaway, Cole and Wallace were sent to state 
 prison for terms varying from three to ten years. 
 
 Isaac Miles was born in Waterbury, Conn., and when sixteen years 
 of age he entered the army, in the war for independence serving two 
 years or until the close of the war. After a residence in Coventry, Chen- 
 ango county he removed with his family to the town of Addison in 
 1 8 19, and settled on what was lately known as the Brewster farm about 
 one mile from Addison village on Tuscarora creek. After residingthere 
 two years he removed to what was afterward known as the Cowley farm 
 now included within the corporate limits of Addison village. In 1823 
 he removed to the J. B. Wheeler farm in the town of Cameron. He 
 was a blacksmith, and one of the first of that trade in this section within 
 a radius of many miles. It was in his shop that Major Lawrence made 
 the tools with which he commenced the business of blacksmith at Cam- 
 eron Corners. Mr. Miles, after his sons arrived at an age to render 
 assistance, purchased a farm two miles below Cameron Mills, on the 
 south side of the river, — now owned by L. A. Herrington — and upon 
 which he moved in 1824. It was then with the exception of three or 
 four acres a dense wilderness, which they cleared, selling some of the tim- 
 ber and raftingsome down the river. Mr. Miles married, near Pittston Pa., 
 Martha Davis. Their children were Rebecca, wife of Col. Griffith Ap 
 Jones; Laura, wife of Rowland Saunders; Martha, who died in child- 
 hood; Susan, wife of Eliphalet Nichols; Isaac, of Scio, Allegany county; 
 James, a soldier in the late war, — commissioned captain of Co, F, 107 
 Regt. N. Y.Vols., August 6, 1862; Samuel, and John of Cameron Mills, 
 who with his brother Isaac are all that remain of the family. Mr. Miles 
 died November 22, 1843, in his 81st year, and his wife December 31, 
 i860, in her 86th year. 
 
 John Miles was born in Coventry, Chenango county, January 1, 18 14, 
 and while a boy began to work at lumbering with his father and elder 
 brothers, who each year purchased lumber which they made into rafts 
 and floated down the river, to Port Deposit, Columbia or Baltimore, 
 performing a vast amount of hard work, and getting in return but little 
 pay. John Miles married Harriet, daughter of " Squire " Lucius Par- 
 ker. The latter settled on the Stephen Aldrich farm on Helmer Creek, 
 
TOWN OF RATHBONE. 485 
 
 about 1830. After his marriage Mr. Miles purchased the farm now 
 owned by George Campbell, at Cameron Mills where he reared most of 
 his family. In April, 1861, he purchased his father's homestead, upon 
 which he lived until 1881, when he moved to Cameron Mills. 
 
 His first vote for president was cast for General Harrison in 1840, 
 and he has voted for every president since including General Harrison's 
 grand-son. He represented the town of Cameron in the board of su- 
 pervisors two terms, previous to the organization of the town Rathbone, 
 and has served one term as supervisor of this town. He has also held 
 the office of assessor. Mr. Miles was a pilot on the rivers for forty 
 years. 
 
 Jacob Cole, Jr., lived on the south side of the river, afterward re- 
 moved to the south part of the town where he cleared a large farm and 
 became quite wealth}'. 
 
 Peter and Martin Young came from Morristown, Morris county, N. 
 J., about the year i8co. The former settled first near the western line 
 of the town of Addison , and afterward removed farther west on the river 
 where he kept a public house for many years. He married Sarah E. 
 Benham. 
 
 David Crawford was born in Sussex count}-, N. J., in 1775. About 
 1820 he came to this town and settled on the now, Mather farm about

 Wllliamsport, Pa., and in 1820 his father removed to Rathboneville, 
 •where he settled where James Crawford lives. In early life he was a 
 lumberman, as so many of the pioneer men and youths were. He mar- 
 ried Elizabeth, daughter of John Mullison, who settled in Rathboneville 
 in 1832. Their children were, William, Charles, David, Martha, wife 
 of De Witt Northrup, George, Eugene and James. Mr. Crawford set-

 Ormon S. Whitmore was born in Vermont, April 7, 1820. When a 
 babe less than a year old, his parents removed to Eaton, Madison count}-,. 
 N. Y., where he received such education as the times afforded. At the 
 age of twenty years he came to the town of Rathbone and engaged in 
 lumbering, and in 1848 in mercantile business in which he continued 
 until 1884, when he was succeeded by his son Clarence S., who so ably 
 conducts the business then established. After retiring Mr. Whitmore 
 removed to Addison village. His wife was Martha J., daughter of 
 James Wilson of Chenango, Broome county, X. Y. Their children are

 town of Bath and located on the farm now owned by D. White, near 
 Savona, where the family continued to reside for a period of thirty 
 years. The children were Kitchell, Abram T., deceased, and John, of"

 The year following he located in Cameron, and in 1858 at Cameron 
 Mills. Here he engaged first in the manufacture of shoes and in gen- 
 eral mercantile business, and was also interested in the manufacture of 
 wagons. Mr. Toles has been, without exception, the most active and 
 public spirited citizen of Cameron Mills. Many of the buildings in the 
 place have been erected by him, and he has always taken an active in- 
 terest in organizing societies and promoting the business interests of ' 
 this immediate section. He was for six years county superintendent of 
 the poor, and has represented his town in the board of supervisors . For 
 upwards of twenty years he had charge of the Erie railroad's business at 
 this point. Mr. Toles was master of the masonic lodge at Cameron 
 Mills for twenty-eight years, and is Grand Keeper of Wampum for the 
 Order of Red Men in the state of New York. 
 
 James T. Beckwith, grandson of Amasa Beckwith, Sr., who settled 
 in the town of Bath in 18 14, is a prominent business man of this place, 
 being proprietor of a custom and flouring-mill, and largely interested in 
 farming and tobacco growing. Amasa Beckwith came originally from 
 Windham, Conn., settled in Luzerne county, Pa., and as stated above, 
 located in 18 14 in Bath. He married Fanny Simons. His death oc- 
 curred in 1833. His son Amasa spent most of his life near Savona, 
 where he owned and managed the Eagle Mills property. His wife was 
 Martha Thompson. His son, James T., married Mary Ireland, Octo- 
 ber 20, 1864. 
 
 Dr. George S. Goff was born in Cameron Mills, December 20, 1853. 
 He studied medicine with Dr. M. D. Ellison and attended the Univer- 
 sity Medical College of New York, from which he graduated in 1877. 
 With the exception of a brief period spent in Towlesville, in the town of 
 Howard, he has practiced continuously at Cameron Mills. 
 
 Early Items. — Luther White was the first white child born in the 
 town. Lemuel Benham kept the first inn, in 1804. The firststore was 
 kept in 1S42, by General Rathbone. The earliest marriage recorded in 
 the town was that of Peleg Cole to Polly, daughter of Isaac Trac}^. 
 Moses Powers who settled two miles above Tracy's on the left bank of 
 the river, taught the first school in the town. 
 
 Abner Chase, the pioneer preacher, who visited the valley for the first 
 time in 1812, relates that in making his first trip up the Canisteo, 
 through an almost unbroken forest of pine and hemlock, intermingled 
 with oak, he inquired at a little log cabin if he could be kept for the 
 night, and was answered that they were in the habit of entertaining trav- 
 elers. They proceeded to turn his horse upon the grass down by the 
 bank of the river. A few minutes after, a peddler who was passing 
 through the country exchanging goods for furs and deerskins, drove 
 up and also stopped for the night. Before they retired the fami-

 ly informed them that they might hear the howling of wolves and 
 the screech of a panther during the night, but not to be alarmed as they 
 could not break in. They also informed them that rattlesnakes some- 
 times crept up from under the floor, but they might sleep upon the cross- 
 beams, upon which was laid a piece of rude flooring overhead, support- 
 ing a pallet of straw upon which they were to sleep, out of reach of the 
 snakes. Col. Franklin B. and his brother, Chauncey P. Hubbard built 
 a water-mill in the heavy, unbroken forest, on the north branch of the 
 Tuscarora, and opened roads in 1829. The Cole school-house was built 
 on the land of Jacob Cole, who settled early on the hill, four miles south 
 of Rathboneville. The first school-house was built of logs. Religious 
 meetings were held on this ground as earty as the first school. The 
 first bridge was built on the old connty road, but after being carried off 
 by a flood, was changed to Baker's in Cameron. 
 
 At Rathboneville in 1830, there was a saw-mill started by a man 
 named Cole, but completed by some one else. As early as 18 19 there 
 were a few families below on the river. Among them was Samuel 
 Adkins, a miller. He was what was termed in later years an "anti- 
 renter." Having nothing more than a squatter's claim, his house- 
 hold effects were put out b3' the sheriff, but Adkins, with a few friends, 
 erected a house over them and continued on the premises. Peter Youngs 
 kept a tavern a mile below Rathboneville where J. Martin now resides. 
 Next was the residence of Andrew Helmer on the William Youngs' 
 place. Mr. Helmer was a great hunter. He moved to Woodhull, 
 where he died. The next residence below was William Phoenix. On 
 the south side of the river near the present Derby crossing, lived Or- 
 lando Rowley. 
 
 Stephen Gloyd came from Massachusetts and settled near the Cole 
 school-house in 1846. He was one of the first elected justices in the 
 town of Rathbone. 
 
 Churches. — The few settlers living along the river used to attend re- 
 ligious services at Cameron before meetings were held in Rathbone. 
 Rev. Abner Chase preached in the valle} r as earry as 1812, and was af- 
 terward joined in his long circuit by Rev. Ebenezer White and Charles 
 Giles. Thomas Wheat and Jedediah Stephens were also early preach- 
 ers. In 1831, a class was formed at the town-line school -house. In 
 1844-45 a church was built in the town of Cameron adjoining the Ad- 
 dison line, and became known as the " town-line church." In 1850 a 
 commodious church building was erected in the village of Rathbone- 
 ville where a Methodist Episcopal class had been previously formed. 
 The town of Rathbone, during the war, raised for soldiers' bounty by 
 subscription and by taxation, $36,955.50, and furnished one hundred 
 and seventv-four men. 
 
TOWN OF RATHBONE. 489 
 
 Cameron Mills, a post village of about fifty families, is situated in 
 the north-west corner of the town of Rathbone. adjacent to the Cameron 
 town line, and is a station on the X. Y., L. E. & \V. railroad. It con- 
 tains a Methodist church, a Roman Catholic chapel in charge of the 
 Rev. Father Carraher of Addison, a school, grist-mill, blacksmith shop 
 and three stores. It is one of the largest shipping points for hay and 
 grain, on the Erie road. 
 
 This place was first known as Hubbardville. Daniel Hubbard, an 
 enterprising man from Broome county, having erected and operated the 
 first flouring-mill in the town, near the present mill, and also opened a 
 store . 
 
 Crawford Brothers, general merchants and wholesale dealers and 
 shippers of produce are conducting an extensive business which was 
 established by the senior member of the firm, William Crawford, in 
 March, 1868. This firm also deals largely in lumber having mills in 
 the town of Cameron with a capacity of about 10,000 feet per day. 
 
 The Cameron Mills Pump Station of the National Transit Company 
 is located at the west line of the town, adjoining Cameron. The works 
 were built in 1880, and are for the purpose of forcing crude oil on its 
 way from the wells in Pennsylvania, to the refineries in New York and 
 Brooklyn. From this point the oil is forced through two six inch pipes 
 to West Junction, near Elmira, whereare similar works. The works at 
 Cameron Mills have four large tanks for receiving the oil, and two com- 
 modious brick buildings containing powerful engines and their boilers. 
 Mr. Hiram S. Goff is in charge here. 
 
 Cameron Mills Grist and Custom Mills were built about fifty years ago 
 by Daniel Hubbard, now of Hornellsville. They are located on the 
 Canisteo river,, and are run wholly by water power. Therearefive runs 
 of stone. The present proprietor is J. T. Beckwith. 
 
 Empire Saw and Grist Mills are located at Rathboneville. The pres- 
 ent propiietor is F. J. Brady who purchased them in 1865. The grist- 
 mill has four runs of stone and the saw-mill a capacity for 5,000 feet 
 per day. 
 
 Rathboneville Post Office is located a little east of the centre of 
 the town and is a station on the main line of the N. Y.,L. E. & W. R. 
 R. It is an important shipping point. Mr. Clarence S. Whitmore, a 
 general merchant here, is one of the largest shippers of hay, grain and 
 produce in this section. This place began to develope as a business 
 centre after the advent of General Rathbone in 1S42, who opened the 
 first store— which was kept by John R. Jones— and engaged extensively 
 in lumbering. Maj. H. R. Rathbone, a citizen of this town, received

 THURSTOX was formed from Cameron, February 28, 1844, and 
 named in honor of William B. Thurston, a member of the society 
 of Friends, and a principal land owner. It is an interior town 
 and lies a little southeast of the centre of the county. It is bounded 
 north by the town of Bath, east by Campbell, south by Addison and 
 Rathbone, and west by Cameron. Its surface is chiefly a high, broken 
 upland, forming a part of the dividing ridge between the Conhocton 
 and the Canisteo rivers. The summits of the hills are from five to six 
 hundred feet above the valleys. The principal streams are Stockden 
 creek in the northwest, and Michigan or Otter creek in the south, flow- 
 ing in deep, narrow ravines, bordered by steep hillsides. The soil is 
 chiefly a shaly and gravelly loam. The population in 1890 was 1,112, 
 a loss of one hundred and fifty-four since 18S0. 
 
 Early Settlers. — Luke Bonney and William Smith made the first set- 
 tlement in the town, on what is known as Bonny Hill, in 181 3. Mr. 
 Bonny received much encouragement from the Pulteney land office, 
 and was awarded the work of cutting a road from Bath south, through 
 the town, crossing Otter creek at Risingville. Anderson Carpenter set- 
 tled near the church, in the northwest corner of the town, in 1813. 
 He was killed by a falling tree in 1817. Amos Dickinson, who moved 
 into this town from Bath, settled near Anderson Carpenter in 18 14. Jo- 
 seph Fluent came in 1817, and the year following married Fanny Dick- 
 inson. This was the first marriage in the town. David Smith came in 
 1822. In 1826 Harvey Halliday, Jacob Parker, John and Boanerges 
 Fluent, John Stocking and Harlow Smith had joined the settlement on 
 Bonny Hill. The first school was taught by Caroline Vinan in 1818. 
 Moses Depue settled on the hill in 1830. 
 
 In the south part of the town a settlement was made by a family from 
 Rhode Island, which belonged to the society of Friends. These were 
 Stephen Aldrich with his sons Warner M., Thomas S., Stephen and 
 George. A Quaker elder named Tripp use to come from the east to 
 visit them at the settlement at Friends' Pond. Stephen Pugsley settled 
 
 s "The report of the pistol startled those in the box," — among whom was the 
 Major — "and llajor Rathbone, turning his eyes from the stage, saw, through the 
 smoke which filled the box, a man standing between him and the president. He in- 
 stantly sprang toward him and seized him ; but Booth wrested himself from his grasp, 
 and dropping the pistol, struck at him with the dagger,inflicting a severe wound upon 
 his left arm, near the shoulder. Booth then rushed to the front of the box — shouted 
 'Sic semper lyannis. r — put his hand upon the railing in front of the box,aud leaped 
 over it upon the stage below." — Raymond' s Life oj Abraham Lincoln.

 half a mile southwest of Stephen Aldrich. William and James Jack 
 were also early settlers near the Friends, having come here in 1822 from 
 Cecil county, Md. The former cleared an acre of land and returned to 
 Maryland for his family, moving with ox-teams. They camped at 
 Campbell while he cut a road to his farm. Samuel Fisk came the same 
 year. 
 
 Seth Cook and Arnold Payne were early settlers near Thomas Al- 
 drich. M. O. Keith came from Massachusetts in 1834. John Vander- 
 warker and Henry Fosburg, squatters, settled between Risingville and 
 Thurston as early as 1820. William Hawley settled here the same year. 
 Fenner Eddy came from Rhode Island in 1832. Lifus Fish was an 
 early settler in the northwest part of the town, and John Corbett on 
 North Hill. 
 
 James Jerry, a native of Berthier, Montreal, Canada, who came here 
 as a saw}-er in the mill of Turbell & Co., subsequently became a large 
 owner of real estate and an influential citizen. John Ritchmyer settled 
 a mile north of Risingville in 1848. His son William Ritchmyer, a 
 prominent citizen and supervisor of the town for many years is now 
 superintendent of the poor and resides at Bath. H. G. Willard was one 
 of the earliest settlers on the hill to the east. 
 
 William Jack married Hannah Griffee of Maryland, by whom he 
 had several children. He bought the farm now owned by his son 
 Christie A. , to which he cut a road from Thurston. After clearing about 
 two acres he sowed it to wheat. He then made another clearing near 
 by. Having no barn, after harvesting his wheat he was obliged to 
 stack it. He burned over the second clearing, and supposing the fire 
 was all extinguished, he went to Campbell for work, and upon his re- 
 turn found that the fire had eaten its way from the fallow to his grain- 
 stack and consumed it. At Campbell he would work all day in the 
 harvest field for a bushel of wheat which he would carry on his back to 
 his home. 
 
 John H. Stocking came from Pennsylvania to this town in 1826, and 
 settled on the farm now owned by John B. and Evert Look, and built 
 a mill on Stockden- — subsequently called Stocking — run. 
 
 James Jack, born in Maryland February 25, 1803, was the son of 
 James Jack. He came to this town in 1827 and located where his son 
 Amos, now resides. He married August 6, 1829, Melissa, daughter of 
 John Ross, who was born in Orange county, N. Y., October 14, 1812.

 nia, returned to Thurston, and in 1883 removed to the town of Cameron. 
 Aaron Vose was born in Sovrthfield, R. I., and came to this town in 
 1833. He settled on the farm now owned by his daughter, Mrs. Mary 
 Jones, and occupied by James Parker, in Thurston village. When he ar- 
 rived in the county he looked at land which lies in the town of Bath, 
 between that village and Lake Salubria, but on account of the scrub 
 pines which grew so plentifully there, he thought the soil inferior to that 
 of this town, which was covered with heavy beech, maple, birch, hem- 
 lock and pine. At the time of his settlement there was no clearing in 
 the vicinity of the present viiage, except about one acre, where the school- 
 house is now located, which had been cleared by a squatter of the name 
 of Fosburg, who had also erected a log house there. Mr. Vose paid 
 $2.50 per acre in Thurston. 
 
 At the time of his settlement and for many years afterward deer, 
 wolves, wild-cats, etc., were plentiful. On one occasion, when going 
 out at evening to attend to his stock, a deer came panting into the clear- 
 ing, and following closely upon him was a wolf, which, as the deer 
 reached the rear of the clearing at the edge of the woods, was joined by 
 an innumerable company of its kind, and the prey was soon devoured. 
 Mr. Vose possessed a ' 'sugar bush, ' ' that is, a collection of maple trees, 
 from which the maple sugar was made, which is now regarded as such 
 an article of luxury. A few weeks in the spring the family made sugar, 
 sometimes producing as much as 1,000 pounds in a season, which usu- 
 ally sold for six cents a pound. Butter brought about the same price. 
 The nearest trading point was Painted Post, but subsequently a store 
 was opened at Cooper's Plains, where a blacksmith also located. Jour- 
 neys to mill were made at all seasons with an ox-team attached to a sled, 
 over a log road to Campbelltown . One man in the settlement owned a 
 cart, which was sometimes borrowed by the neighbors. 
 
 Aaron Vose married Sabra Wilkinson, a relative of Jemima, the 
 prophetess. 
 
 Harley Sears is said to have been the first merchant in the town, who 
 opened a store at Risingville in 1852. Two years later he was suc- 
 ceeded by Alvah Carpenter and O. P. Alderman. The post-office was

 established at Risingville in 1853, and Noble H. Rising was the first 
 . postmaster. 
 
 Thomas Spencer was born in Washington county, N. Y., came to 
 this town from Springwater in 1853. He married Elizabeth Phillips. 
 
 Thurston, formerly Merchantville, is situated a little east of the 
 centre of the town of Thurston, and in former years, during the pre- 
 dominence of the lumber industry, evinced some degree of life and ac- 
 tivity. It is pleasantly located in a valley, some of the hills in the im- 
 mediate vicinity rising abruptly to a great height. The settlement con- 
 tains two churches — Methodist Episcopal and Christian — a school, two 
 stores, blacksmith shop, a wagon-shop and about thirty dwellings. 
 Formerly a saw-mill and a small tannery were among its manufacturing 
 industries. 
 
 Risingville is located southwest of the centre of the town, about 
 three miles from the village of Thurston. It contains a store, a black- 
 smith shop and a church — the latter having been built for a Union 
 church, but now appropriated by the Methodist denomination — and four 
 or five dwellings. 
 
 The section known as Bonney Hill, takes its name from Luke Bon- 
 ney, the first settler in that part of the town. His farm was that now 
 owned by Thomas Morrow, upon the lower part of which he erected 
 his log house. 
 
 TROUPSBURGH is situated upon the south border of the county, 
 west of the centre, and is bounded north by Jasper, east by Wood- 
 hull, south by the state of Pennsylvania and west by West Union. 
 It was named in honor of Robert Troup, agent for the Pulteney estate. 
 The town was formed from Middletown — now Addison — andCanisteo, 
 February 12, 1808. It was reduced somewhat in territory in 1827 by 
 taking off parts of Greenwood and Jasper, and in 1828 it was still 
 further reduced by annexing a part to Woodhull. A portion of Canis- 
 teo was annexed in 181 8. The soil is a slaty and clayey loam. The 
 surface of the town consists principally of a hilly upland, broken by the 
 deep valleys of small streams, the principal of which is Troups creek, 
 flowing south. The highest summits are two thousand and five hun- 
 dred feet above the sea, and are the most elevated portions of the 
 county. The population of Troupsburgh in 1890 was 2,165. 
 
 Early Settlement. — The first settlement was made in this town by 
 Samuel Rice, who was also the pioneer of the town of Addison. Mr. 
 Rice located a little east of the centre of the township as now formed, 
 in 1805. Orren Kittle and his brother Ephraim, came from Broome 
 county at a very early day, and settled here. His daughter, Sally 
 Kittle is said to have been the first white child born in the town. This

 from Addison, settled near Mr. Rice in 1806. Lieutenant Reynolds and 
 Jonathan Rogers settled at the same place in 1809, George Martin in 
 1 8 10, and James Works in 181 1. Samuel Cady was an early settler.

 the Centre, near Troup's creek. 
 
 Saufordcf Gleason's Planing, Matching, Shingle and Feed Mill is lo- 
 cated on North street in Troupsburgh, and was built by the above firm 
 in the fall of 1888. It is furnished with a fifteen horse-power engine. 
 Its capacity for grinding is two hundred bushels a day. This firm also 
 deals in lumber. 
 
 Healey s Saw and Feed Mill, on Troup's creek at Troupsburgh, was 
 built in 1885 upon the site of one which was destroyed by fire. It has 
 an engine of twenty-four horse-power, and a capacity for sawing 10,000 
 feet in ten hours. 
 
 Balcy's Sav Mill was built by Thomas Baley, and was run for many 
 years by water-power. It was since enlarged by his sons, who put in 
 ■modern machinery, with a steam engine. It has facilities for sawing, 
 planing, making shingles and material for grape baskets. The mill is 
 located at Young Hickory. 
 
 Robert Troup started to build a mill on the creek below Fenton's in 
 1816, procured timber, mill-stones, mill crank, etc., but some one in 
 the interest of opposing parties who owned a mill in Addison, it is said,

 came by night and stole the crank, and the project of erecting a mill 
 here was abandoned . 
 
 Highup post-office was established October i, 1885, with S.Wyckoff 
 first postmaster. The first office established here was called West 
 Troupsburgh, which was abolished, and the people of that section were 
 for some years without a post-office nearer than Troupsburgh or Rex- 
 ville. The name is appropriate, for in this vicinity is the most elevated 
 section of Steuben county. A mail is received on Tuesdays and Sat- 
 urdays from Canisteo. 
 
 TUSCARORA township is situated en the southern Lorder of the 
 count}-, east of the centre, and was formed from the town of Ad- 
 dison, December 13, 1859. It includes "Township No. i, of the 
 Third Range" of Phelps and Gorham's purchase. It is bounded north 
 by Rathbone and Addison, east by Lir.dley, south by the Pennsylvania 
 state line, and west by Wccdhull. The surface is a hilly upland, bro- 
 ken by the valley of the Tuscarora creek in the northwest part. The 
 streams of the towns are small. The soil is chiefly a clayey loam, with 
 gravel and alluvium along the valley of Tuscarora creek. 
 The population in 1890 was 1,440. 
 
 The first settlement was made in this town by William Wombough, 
 a native of New Jersey, and the son of a revolutionary soldier. After 
 his father s death there arose a dispute about the division of the prop- 
 erty, when William, then a young man, said if they would give him 
 one hundred dollars he would leave and let the rest settle it among 
 themselves. He added to this seventy dollars during the next season, 
 and in June, 1804, purchased one hundred and eighty-seven acres in 
 the town of Tuscarora, a few rods from the south line of Addison. En- 
 gaging in lumbering in a small way, Mr. Wombough was so successful 
 that in 1806 he built a small grist-mill ar.d a saw-mill on the stream, 
 just in front of the family residence. His rich bottom lands produced 
 heavy crops of wheat and ccrn, which were gladly borrowed by the 
 settlers up the creek, and others who were less favored, to be paid with 
 increase after harvest. In September, 1804, Jesse Rowley settled at the 
 forks of the creek a mile above South Addison. At the time of his set- 
 tlement, there was no inhabitant between him and Osceola, Pa., nor 
 between him and Wood hull. Amos Dolph made the first settlement at 
 Carrtown, now South Addison. Amos Towsley, the father of John 
 Towsley,who for many 3'ears was a prominent man of the town, settled 
 between Mr. Wombough and Mr. Dolph, in 1816. The same year 
 Samuel Colegrove came on the creek above Wombough's. Daniel 
 Strait, an old soldier of the revolution, migrated from Chenango county, 
 in 1799, to the Cowanesque Valley, but finding a more favored locality

 among the lofty pines upon the point above the "Eindsley Settlement, ' ' 
 made the first settlement in southern Tuscarora in 1809. Following the 
 example of other early travelers, he chose winter that he might travel on 
 the ice. After breaking through the ice several times on his journey down 
 the river, he succeeded in working his passage to a point on the hill, 
 sheltered on the east and west, and overlooking the broad valley far to 
 the south when the dense forest was removed. Here he made an open- 
 ing, and erected the first rude log cabin. For seven years he lived 
 here, alone with his little family, his nearest neighbor being on the 
 river, five miles away. In 1816, Asahel Thomas joined Mr. Strait, but 
 it was not until 1824, when Joseph Gile came on the hill and settled on 
 the Archibald Manley place, that a road was blazed through to Addison. 
 Up Mine creek, Daniel Burdick and Andrew Crowl were among the 
 earliest settlers in the east part of the town. Rev. David Short, a Close- 
 Communion Baptist preacher, settled on the Hollis place, now owned 
 by Mr. Day, adjoining the Pennsylvania line, southeast of Strait, in 
 1823, preaching throughout the surrounding country and industriously 
 working upon his farm. Warren and Benedict Northrop settled on the 
 Northrop settlement in 1825. 
 
 After Mr. Gile had made a small clearing, and John Webster had 
 settled between him and Rowley's, Rev. Aaron Baxter and his family, 
 Alfred Nichols, his son-in-law, and Simeon Freeman, a boy in his 
 employ, settled near the Pennsylvania line, a mile farther west than 
 Strait. Mr. Nichols had a pair of horses and twenty-five dollars in 
 money. He built him a house fourteen feet square and hardly high 
 enough to walk in without stooping, and began to cut down trees 
 about his cabin. Meanwhile Elder Baxter visited the land office at 
 Bath, and made an arrangement by which he should receive half a dol- 
 lar an acre on all lands he might sell, the balance, a dollar and a half 
 an acre, to be paid to the land office. Through his exertions that 
 part of the town began to settle so rapidly that in 1830 he had gathered 
 forty-six of his neighbors together into a church. His colony came 
 from Chenango county, and included the families of James Sprague, 
 Migeman Taft, David Hart, Samuel and Enoch Mack, Orin Swan 
 and Samuel Smith. 
 
 In 1827 Elder Baxter cleared thirty acres and sowed it to wheat, ob- 
 taining a large yield which found a ready sale in the Tioga valley.

 to the now, town of Tuscarora. They brought their household goods 
 as far as the residence of William Wombough, and there left them while 
 they proceeded on horseback over roads much worse than log roads of

 ago. He was oldest of a large family of children, all of whom lived to 
 a ripe old age. Two sisters survive him. He died April 1, 1891.

 South Addison, a post hamlet located near the northern boundary 
 of the town of Tuscarora, has a population of about sixty-five, and con- 
 tains one store. Locally, it is called Carrtown, in honor of Amos 
 Carr, an early settler. O. B. Stratton's tannery is located about one 
 mile above, where is also a settlement of twelve or fifteen dwellings. 
 The South Addison M. E. church is situated midway between the two 
 settlements, and is a modern structure, very tastefully planned. It has 
 a membership of one hundred and forty-nine, including a class from a 
 portion of the town of Woodhull. There are two other churches in- 
 cluded in this charge, one at Orr Hill, and one at Addison Hill. 
 
 Freeh ax is a post hamlet of about thirty families, located on Mine 
 creek, and is a station on the Addison and Pennsylvania Railway. It 
 contains a general store, a saw and feed-mill, two blacksmith and repair 
 shops, and a school. The post-office was established here in August, 
 1883, and the first postmaster was Israel Boyer, now station and express 
 agent. The settlement was formerly known as Steamtown. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 First Methodist Church of Addison was formed in Tuscarora before it 
 became a separate town. As early as 1829 Elder Orcutt preached in 
 the house of Ambrose Owen. Although meetings were held much 
 earlier, it was not until 1833 that a class was formed. A lot of fifty 
 acres was set aside for the use of this society by the Pulteney estate. 
 Rev. William Wheat preached in the old log school house in 1832, near 
 where the present church stands on Mine creek, and meetings were held 
 there for several years. The first church was built in 1849. This has 
 been abandoned for one at Addison Hill, which was dedicated October 
 15, 1874. The society owns a parsonage at South Addison. 
 
 First Free Will Baptist Church of Tuscarora was organized in 1826 
 with nineteen original members, under the name of Free Communion 
 Baptist, and remained so until 1842 when they united with the Free 
 
514 TOWN OF URBAN A. 
 
 Will Baptist denomination. The present tasteful and commodious 
 house of worship was erected in 1847, and renovated and improved in 
 1866 at a cost of $1,100, and again repaired in 1886. The present 
 membership is eighty-six, and the pastor, Rev. J. N. Shirey. The 
 value of the church and parsonage is about $4,000. 
 
 Manufactures. — The Wombough woolen-mill, located on Tuscarora 
 creek, about two miles south of the village of Addison, was built b5" 
 William Wombough in 1840. It is operated by both water and steam 
 power. Custom carding and spinning are done here, and some woolen 
 cloths and shirtings are also manufactured. 
 
 O. B. Stratlon's Tannery at South Addison was built in 1856 by 
 Robert Hammond and purchased by the present proprietor in 1S65. 
 Since Mr. Stratton came into possession the establishment has been much 
 enlarged and improved. He employs about thirty men, and the ca- 
 pacity of the tannery is 50,000 sides per year. 
 
 URBANA * rnay claim among her sisters, without protest, the chief 
 distinction for beauty. Rugged and precipitious hills, forest- 
 crowned, and broken by irregular ravines, and deep, romantic 
 glens, characterize her incomparable landscape. 
 
 Two features particularly famed for their natural loveliness are Plea- 
 sant Valley and Lake Keuka. Poetic minds, since that early period 
 when the white man first invaded the forest depths and cast his eyes 
 upon these scenes, have been moved with. inspiration, and graceful pens 
 have often traced in verse and prose the many lines of beauty that they 
 bear. Only a few miles of the crystal lake, fed by mountain streams 
 and b} T countless perpetual springs beneath its surface, lie within the 
 borders of Urbana. 
 
 But to the inhabitant whose windows open towards the constantly 
 changing watery expanse it is ever a study and an attraction to the eye. 
 The axe has hewn the primeval trees mostly from the slopes, and 
 terraced vineyards have for the most part taken the places of the woods. 
 Much of the valle} 7 is yet meadow -land, but the vines are finding a 
 place in nearly every nook and corner, and some day we shall see Plea- 
 sant Valley and the slopes of Lake Keuka as one vast vineyard. 
 
 Whatever have been the encroachments of civilization in vineyard 
 making and home building, the deep ravines and glens have been 
 allowed to remain in their pristine wildness. At Hammondsport is 
 to be found the largest of these many gorges. It consists of a mile of 
 the most charming and romantic views, such as delight both tourist and 
 artist. A remarkable feature is the exposure of a perpendicular wall

 of shale three hundred feet high. The ledge, bright with green shrubs, 
 vines, moss, lichens and wild flowers, form a perfect setting for the 
 crystal pools and foaming cascades. On the southeast side of the valley, 
 opposite Hammondsport, is another glen of equal beaut3 r and even more 
 wild in its varied and charming aspects. Others are to be found on 
 either side of the lake, particularly at Willow Point, Malvaruh and 
 Urbana Landing. 
 
 The hills surrounding Hammondsport, the principal village of the 
 town lift their tops considerably more than a thousand feet above the 
 surface of the lake, and a view from any one of the numerous points, is 
 worthy of a painter's brush. It is not to be wondered, therefore, that 
 even the red man loved to linger among these scenes. Of fishing and 
 hunting he had an abundance and his naturally poetic nature had much 
 upon which to feed. To this da3' flint arrow heads are picked up by 
 the farm lads in the fields where once among the forests, the Indians 
 hunted with the rude weapons of their own fashioning or fought one an- 
 other for supremacy over the untaxed and unsurveyed territory. 
 
 While the venturesome traveler of the white race, may have visited 
 this town at rare intervals during their journeyings through the forests, 
 the first to settle here permanently was William Aulls,who with his son 
 Thomas, a lad of sixteen years of age, penetrated the boundless wilder- 
 ness in the year 1793. 
 
 ' 'There is here an abundance of wild flowers and the fruit trees (wild 
 plum and thorn apple) are all in bloom. This valley is delightful." 
 Such in substance was the exclamation that escaped the lips of the elder 
 Aulls as he beheld Pleasant Valley in 1793- 
 
 Early in the spring of the year the father and son had left their home 
 in Lancaster, Pa., to explore the Genesee countr}- which embraced then 
 all of western New York, and northern Pennsylvania. The stories told 
 of the country were of a most extravagant character, and they set out 
 on horseback to see it for themselves. Their course was directed by 
 Indian trails and blazed trees, through the dense and dark forests. 
 They traversed countless miles, over hills and through valleys, visiting 
 Geneva and other infant settlements, and finally brought up at the two 
 or three log cabins at Pine Plains in the town of Bath. These cabins 
 had been built by Captain Charles Williamson, land agent for the Pul- 
 teney estate. From there they penetrated the wild region towards the 
 Indians' Lake Keuka. An Indian trail to the northeast was followed 
 until they came to an opening in the forest, on what of late has been 
 known as the Benjamin Decker farm, now owned by Dr. M. T. Bab- 
 cock. The point of view that first gave them such a favorable impres- 
 sion of the valley, was the knoll just back of the present home of Frank 
 Decker, on the southwest side of the valley. Here it was that they

 pitched their tent, lighted their camp fire, and prepared their first meal 
 in the valley of their future home. Here were established the first traces 
 of civilization in the valley in the town of Urbana and in the vast and 
 now wealthy region to the northward and to the eastward, for it must 
 be kept in mind that Prattsburgh was not marked by a pioneer's cabin 
 until 1799 and Pulteney not until 1797. 
 
 The .promontory upon which Mr. Aulls and son had camped, over- 
 looked both valley and lake. The luxuriance of the wilderness quick- 
 ly led them to a determination. A cabin of poles was speedily con- 
 structed for a temporary abode, a bed of hemlock boughs was impro- 
 vised, and war was declared upon the giant trees that held sway over 
 the rich land. 
 
 An acre of ground was soon cleared and planted to corn and pota- 
 toes. Although somewhat late in the ground the crops were bounti- 
 ful. It is interesting to know that the yield of corn from the single 
 acre was sixty bushels. The few provisions that they had with them 
 were supplemented with trout and other fish taken from the streams 
 and lake, and with venison that good marksmanship in the forest 
 yielded them. 
 
 While the corn was growing, more land was cleared and a better cabin 
 built. That wilderness home was made sacred with the voice of 
 prayer and praise, for Mr. Aulls was strict in his religious observances. 
 
 At the end of three months it was decided that the father should re- 
 turn to the Pennsylvania home two hundred miles away, for the mem- 
 bers of the family who had been left behind. In the month of August, 
 therefore, father and son parted, the lad to remain alone in the rude 
 cabin and care for the growing crops and'the few articles of properly 
 that they had brought with them, and the father to make the weary 
 journey back over tortuous paths, winding along the wild streams and 
 among the steep hills and mountains of Pennsylvania. 
 
 The father's trip to southern Pennsylvania was attended with all the 
 success that he could have expected. At Cowan esque, in Tioga 
 county, Pa., which lay upon his route, he formed the acquaintance of 
 Samuel Baker, who soon became his neighbor in the valley, and be- 
 tween the two pioneers there long existed the warmest friendship. Mr. 
 Baker entertained hospitably Mr. Aulls and his family, on their way to 
 their new home. When they had journeyed as far as the Conhocton 
 valley, probably in the vicinity of Savona, it was decided that one of 
 the sons should go ahead to prepare for the coming of the family. 
 Ephraim, the eldest, was sent forward over the hills, leaving the two- 
 horse wagon to follow the new road which had that year been cut 
 through the forest. Ephraim, by following the marked trees, finally

 made his way to the hill back of what has of late years been the home 
 of Mr. Taylor, now deceased. 
 
 The ponderous emigrant wagon with its occupants and endless little 
 comforts and conveniences arrived in due season, and then the reunion 
 Avas doubly joyous, especially to the boy, who had suffered almost the 
 agonies of death with chills and fever in his dreary solitude. 
 
 The cabin was found to be much too narrow in its dimensions for 
 the comfort of a family of nine persons. The wagon was therefore 
 continued in service as a lodging house until the home could be further 
 enlarged. 
 
 To Mrs. Aulls there must have been something homelike in the 
 -sighing of the winds through the pines which so resembled the ceaseless 
 beatings of waves upon the shores. In childhood her home was by the 
 seashore, and her first marriage was to Captain Morris, whom she 
 accompanied upon his voyages until sickness took him from her. In 
 her young widowhood she became the wife -of Mr. Aulls, the sturdy 
 pioneer. 
 
 In early times a man was famous according as he had ' ' lifted up axes 
 upon the thick trees," and acre after acre of the forest giants were laid 
 low by the father and sons. The farm comprised two hundred acres of 
 land bought from the Pulteney estate. 
 
 The rigors of a northern wimer they never had experienced, and for 
 ;such a season they could not be too well prepared. Happily the first 
 season had yielded them corn and potatoes in abundance, and their 
 house was as snug as a cabin could be made. 
 
 While Mr. Aulls and his sons were busied with the active prepara- 
 tions for winter, a white man was seen approaching the dwelling. Work 
 at once came to a standstill. A nearer approach, and the visitor's 
 identity was established. Samuel Baker, of Cowanesque had come to 
 .settle in Pleasant Valley. Mr. Baker w-as not an entire stranger to the 
 locality. Several months previous he had journeyed on foot from his 
 home in Cowanesque to Canandaigua for thepurpose of having his gun- 
 lock repaired. He had taken a boundary line for a guide, and in doing 
 so came to the brow of the hill that overlooks the valley from the south. 
 The valley and lake were spread out like a map before him. 
 
 Mr. Baker, in company with Mr. Aulls, nowsurve3'ed to his satisfac- 
 tion the different portions of the valley, and finally made choice of 
 -what are known as the William Smith and Champlin farms. Ac- 
 cording to a Steuben county history, published in 1879, Mr. Baker 
 -made choice of his land in the valley, when he made the journey to 
 -Canandaigua, the lands he located comprising three hundred acres. 
 
 When Pleasant Valley received Mr. Baker for a citizen a most valu- 
 able acquisition was made, for he possessed the indomitable spirit so

 necessary in the building up of a town, and in its progress in character 
 and influence. Hewas a native of Connecticut, andwhena boy engaged 
 in military duty. When only fifteen 5-ears old he was taken prisoner by 
 the Indians, and remained with the British army until the surrender of 
 Burgoyne at Saratoga. He served in General Willett's corps. In. 
 1787 he and Amos Stone, who was also a revolutionary soldier, pene- 
 trated the western wilds as far as Tioga. During the winter of 1787 
 Amos Stone remained alone in the wilderness while Mr. Baker returned 
 to the home on the Hudson to make preparations for moving his fam- 
 ily to Tioga as soon as the river ..opened in the spring. When Mr. 
 Baker returned to Tioga not a human being was to be seen. He feared 
 for the fate of his friend, but he was not long in doubt, for Mr. Stone- 
 soon appeared, and when he caught sight of Mr. Baker he was over- 
 whelmed with delight. He had not seen a single white person since- 
 Mr. Baker's departure in the fall. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Daniels, 
 father and mother of Mrs. Samuel Baker, accompanied the young 
 couple to Tioga. The two young men and Mrs. Baker, and Mr. and 
 Mrs. Richard Daniels, remained in Tioga six years. They formed the 
 acquaintance of Benjamin Patterson, who lived at Painted Post, who> 
 was employed by a party of surveyors as a hunter. While thus en- 
 gaged he penetrated the Lake Keuka region. From him Mr. Baker 
 learned much of the special advantages of the Pleasant Valley locality.. 
 Mr. Stone was married while living at Tioga to Miss Ives of Newtown- 
 (Elmira). He brought his bride to Tioga in a "pung," which bore- 
 some relation to a " jumper," a rudely constructed cutter. 
 
 On reaching Pleasant Valley, in the fall of 1793, Mr. Baker made the! 
 most of the autumn and winter in putting in shape his new abode, pre- 
 paratory to a removal of his family in the early spring. Richard Dan- 
 iels, Amos Stone and Samuel Baker took up their abode in the valley- 
 in the spring of 1794. Mr. Stone made his purchase next to Samuel 
 Baker's, on the east. Richard Daniels made his purchase north of the 
 inlet. The four first settlers in the valley occupied their respective 
 farms until the day of their death. Amos Stone lived to the advanced 
 age of eighty-three years. He was a light hearted, jolly man and made 
 many friends. 
 
 William Read was from Rhode Island. He succeeded Mr. Baker 
 and Mr. Aulls in settlement in Pleasant Valley, locating his land to the- 
 northwest, on the Wheeler road. He was a revolutionary soldier, a. 
 man of more than ordinary ability, and prominent in town and county- 
 affairs. He was father of James and Arnold Read of Bath, and Darius; 
 Read, who died a few years since on the farm his father had made from, 
 the wilderness. He had occupied the home more than fourscore years . 
 
TOWN* OF URBANTA. 519 
 
 William Read was brother of Eli Read, whose farm joined T. M. 
 Younglove's on the east. 
 
 The first pioneers were soon followed by James and Abram Bruncl- 
 age, John Faulkner, Captain Shether and Eli Read. John Faulkner 
 afterward sold out to Cornelius Younglove, in 1807, and made a pur- 
 chase nearer Bath. Cornelius Younglove remained on his farm the re- 
 mainder of his days. He was one of the number who helped to give 
 character to the place, and with his estimable wife made home pleasant 
 and themselves a blessing to those about them. The farm that Mr. 
 Cornelius Younglove occupied is one of the most desirable in the val- 
 ley. Many acres have been added to the original farm, since in posses- 
 sion of his son, T. M. Younglove, a man well and favorably known 
 throughout the southern tier of New York. 
 
 The Brundages are of Welsh descent, and are among the very early 
 settlers of Pleasant Yallej-. As a family they were thoroughly honest 
 and upright and possessed strong characteristics. Many of the descend- 
 ants of the first families of Brundages are living in and about the town 
 of Urbana, and are among her best citizens. 
 
 In 1796 the valley had acquired a goodly number of inhabitants. 
 Roads were constructed over tiie hills to different points. The work 
 required on the roads was of great assistance to the pioneers in paying 
 for their farms. 
 
 The first purchaser of the lands where Hammondsport stands was 
 Captain Shether. The deed bears date 1796, and calls for one hundred 
 and forty acres. The purchaser was a captain of dragoons in the revo- 
 lutionary army. He was said to be an excellent officer and a favorite 
 of General Washington. Some of the old residents of the town remem- 
 ber him as a conspicuous and dashing figure. On celebration days and 
 especially on general training days he gratified his fondness for display 
 by donning his regimentals and mounting a horse gaily caparisoned, 
 impressing the beholders with his importance. In consequence of 
 the improvidence of a son, the title to the land purchased by Captain 
 Sheather was never completed, but the land was sold at sheriff's sale, 
 and William Root, of New York, was the purchaser. William Root 
 sold his interest in the premises to Mr. Lazarus Hammond for ten dol- 
 lars lawful money of New York. 
 
 The log house of Mr. Hammond occupied the spot where Mr. Delos 
 Rose's residence now stands. 
 
 With the beginning of the nineteenth century the surrounding hills 
 began to receive a sparse population. 
 
 Daniel Bennitt purchased land of the Schemerhorn tract in the north 
 part of the town, and his farm is at present owned by Daniel Sanford. 
 He was father of Benjamin Bennitt, lately deceased, and of Samuel 
 
520 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 Bennitt, who is the oldest man now living (1890), who was born in the 
 town of Urbana. He is eighty -four years old. In 1840 Daniel Bennitt 
 disposed of his farm and moved to Orland, Indiana, to again become a 
 pioneer. 
 
 Robert Harrison settled at Cold Springs, the southern part of the 
 town in the early part of the present century. He left England for a 
 sea voyage at the beginning of the revolutionary war, was taken pris- 
 oner and was given his choice to enlist in the American army or return 
 to England. He chose the former. At the close of the war he settled 
 in Rhode Island and married a Mjss Rhodes. Hearing of the Genesee 
 country, he resolved to emigrate hither. On his way to the land of 
 promise he and his family tarried with friends at Saratoga. The eldest 
 daughter, in later years known as " Auntie " Sherwood, accompanied 
 a member of the family with whom they were stopping, to a " queer 
 tasting spring," that had just been found as the men were clearing the 
 land. The spring proved to be one of Saratoga's now famous springs. 
 Mrs. Wood ward of Hammondsport, is the only member of Mr. Harrison's 
 family now living, aged eighty -seven. 
 
 In the early history of the settlements, the best man of the times was 
 the minister. The next best man, was the tavern keeper. The first 
 second-best man in the town of Urbana was Caleb Chapman, who kept 
 a log tavern on the premises owned and occupied by Ezra Gleason. at 
 North Urbana. The tavern was on the road to Xew York. The peo- 
 ple of Bath and all the region round about passed through what is now 
 North Urbana, Wayne and Penn Yan on the way to New York. The 
 patronage that Mr. Chapman received from the traveling public was 
 something to be envied by a countr\ T hotel keeper of modern times. 
 Care was taken that none of the patrons should go athirst. According- 
 ly, a flask of old rye was fitted into a capacious pocket when the tavern 
 keeper took a stroll from his place of business. In a literal sense, he 
 maybe said to have " transacted business on the run." Caleb Chap- 
 man was father of Elder Shether Chapman, a Baptist minister, and of 
 R. L. Chapman, a business man well known in the community thirty- 
 five years ago. Caleb Chapman's wife was sister to Captain Shether. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Kingsley settled at North Urbana in 1S11, 
 and were prominent in the early history of the town until long after it 
 had passed the pioneer period. Their after lives bore the impress of 
 well-directed efforts. Of the sons and daughters only one son is living 
 in the town of Urbana, Mr. F. J. Kingsley, a well-known and highly 
 respected citizen. 
 
 Abram Depew, one of the early settlers, married a daughter of 
 Samuel Drew and located on a farm about three miles north of Ham- 
 mondsport. Of the several sons and daughters who are heads of fami- 
 
TOWX OF URBANA. 52 1 
 
 lies, Ferris, Abram and William Depew, and Mrs. Samuel Bennitt, are 
 living in the town of Urbana. The sons are thrifty farmers, and live 
 near Hammondsport. 
 
 By the year 1 8 1 6 Urbana had made rapid strides in the way of set- 
 tlement. About this time John Walters settled at North Urbana, on a 
 farm afterwards owned by James Brundage. 
 
 Obadiah Wheeler came from Vermont, walking the entire distance 
 and located near Mr. Walters. He was one of the early justices of the 
 town, and held the office through many successive terms, even as late 
 as 1 86 1. He was several times supervisor of the town, and was ever 
 keenly alive to the best interests of the people. Two sons, Oliver H. 
 and J. W. Wheeler reside in the town ; Jonas Wheeler resides at Bath, 
 George in Colorado and Abram in Michigan. Of the very early settlers 
 who bought homes in the township it is difficult to enumerate. Those 
 whose names are familiar were Reuben Hall, Andrew Layton, Erastus 
 Webster, David Hutches, Samuel Drew, John Daniels, Samuel Town- 
 send, Joseph Rosenkranse, all of whom were pioneers. Samuel Drew 
 was brother of Daniel Drew of New York. Several grand children of 
 Samuel Drew live in and near the town of Urbana, children of 
 John. Gilbert, Libbeus and Samuel Drew, and of Mrs. Samuel Bennitt. 
 
 James Hall, son of Reuben Hall, resides in Hammondsport. Eras- 
 tus Webster settled in that portion of the town known as Mt. Washing- 
 ton. David Hutches settled on the lake road. His farm was after- 
 wards occupied by his son David, and is at present the home of the 
 widow and daughters of the latter. Andrew Layton, Joseph Rosen- 
 kranse and Reuben Hall settled in the north part of the town. 
 
 In the early settlement of the town there was little of going to mill 
 or to meeting. The nearest grist-mill was at Rochester, and the near- 
 est market at Waterloo. Samuel Baker was the first man in the town 
 to go to mill. He sawed off the ends of logs, made a cart and went to 
 mill to Rochester, fully a hundred miles distant. The pioneers who 
 had not the forethought or force of will of Captain Baker pounded with 
 a pestle in a mortar the corn necessary for use. The nearest saw-mill 
 was too remote to be of use to those first on the ground, therefore blan- 
 kets had to serve in lieu of doors in the hastily constructed cabins. In 
 some places the well packed earth was the only flooring. The wife and 
 mother occupying the pioneer's cabin often came from a well-to-do 
 family in the east, bringing with her silver spoons and fine linen and 
 as many marks of a true lady as any who now preside over homes 
 filled with every possible comfort. 
 
 The pioneer's family lived independent of the butcher and baker; but 
 two commodities had to be purchased. Salt and sole leather could not 
 be dispensed with. The salt was four dollars a barrel, the sole leather 
 
522 TOWN OF fRBANA. 
 
 three shillings a pound, and right difficult it was to get the shillings 
 and dollars. It took the price of a bushel of wheat after being hauled 
 to Waterloo, a distance of forty-seven niiies, to buy two pounds of sole- 
 leather. The maple trees supplied the sugar and syrup, and busy bees 
 provided the hone\-. So abundant was the sugar product that five cents 
 a pound was deemed a sufficient price. The cattle, sheep, swine and 
 the poultry supplied the necessary meat, and there were no presenta- 
 tions of grocer's bills and various other bills that now vex mankind. 
 We are informed on good authority that two good sewing needles and 
 one darning needle were considered ample provision for a family unless 
 the knitting needles be included. On a certain occasion a white wed- 
 ding-dress was to be made, and from some cause the necessary needle 
 for the accomplishment of the work was not to be had. In fact, the 
 whole neighborhood was just out of the article and so the dress was 
 made with a darning needle. 
 
 An ordinary large-sized pin such as used for pinning shawls has been 
 known to serve more than one generation . There were no baby car- 
 riages in those days and with the scarcity of sawed lumber even the 
 cradle was many times wanting. The fathers and mothers of some 
 of the most prosperous families were sung to sleep with a lullab3' in a 
 sap trough. 
 
 In extreme cases birch bark was manufactured into strings in place 
 of twine and thorns were used in place of large pins. 
 
 The hides of cattle slaughtered on the farms were tanned on shares, 
 and an itinerant shoemaker was called in to make and mend the boots 
 and shoes of the family. His occupation was known as ''whipping 
 the cat." ' 
 
 Such a luxury as a match was unknown. The invention of the lu- 
 cifer, or locofoco matches, was within the memory of the present gen- 
 eration. In well-regulated families the fire was never supposed to go out 
 When by chance it did "steal a march," then some one was forthwith 
 dispatched to the nearest neighbor for the necessary fire-brand to rekin- 
 dle the blaze. It was a common inquiry, when a person entered a 
 house, and with seeming haste prepared to depart, "What's your hurry? 
 Did you come after fire ? ' ' 
 
 The fireplace was a prominent feature in the early settler's dwelling. 
 It was all out of doors, and had the appearance of being first on the 
 ground. Like some hired speakers, if it drew well, nothing more was 
 required. The chimneys were built of field stone, with the stone on 
 the outside sticking out at all angles, which enabled the small boy of 
 the family to clamber, not only on the roof, but to the top of the chim- 
 ne}', when an elevated view was required to see if the cows were in the 
 corn, or if some expected visitor was approaching the house. There 
 
TOWN* OF URBANA. 523 
 
 was another way by which the juvenile could obtain an elevated posi- 
 tion if he could put his trust in an older brother, namely, to take a place 
 on the butt end of the well-sweep as the bucket was let down into the 
 well. Those were perilous rides, but nevertheless frequent. 
 
 Long after the town of Urbana had passed the pioneer period the 
 manufacture of linen and woolen cloth was continued. In nearly every 
 farm house the preparations for winter clothing commenced with sum- 
 mer, or as soon as the wool from the sheep's back could be picked over, 
 oiled and carded. The spinning of the wool for bed blankets, for socks 
 and stockings, for underwear and winter clothing generally, was no 
 light task. All day long through the lightsome summer the sound of 
 the wheel was as incessant as the hum of the bees, or the murmur of the 
 waterfall. Usually extra help was called in during the spinning season. 
 There was as much rivalry among spinners as is found in musical cir- 
 cles to-day. Newspapers added zest to the work by publishing, at 
 times, the number of knots a certain young lady managed to reel off 
 the spindle in a single da}-. Forty threads on the reel made a knot, ten 
 knots a skein, two skeins a run and two runs a day's work. The price 
 paid for spinning was six shillings, or seventy-five cents, a week, and 
 board . 
 
 After spinning came the dyeing process, and then the weaving and 
 the sending of the cloth to the fulling-mill to be made into full-cloth 
 for men's clothing. 
 
 The coats and jackets were cut by a tailor who did little else, and a 
 tailoress was procured, who, with her goose, occupied a prominent po- 
 sition in the family. Day after da}' she stitched away, and finally the 
 finishing touches were put on the garments, and she and the goose con- 
 veyed home in a jumper, or perhaps on a wood sled. 
 
 It was in mid-winter that the preparations for summer clothing were 
 commenced. A cold day with wind from the north was selected for 
 breaking the flax, a crushing process to loosen the sheath from the fiber. 
 Then came the swingling, to free the flax from the sheath and the 
 coarser fiber, all of which task usually fell to pater familias, as the 
 young hopefuls were not wont to take to the pastime kindly. The flax, 
 like Meg Merrilles' prophecy of the rope, "was sown, it was grown, it 
 was hetcheled and twisted" in remarkably short time; and more, it was 
 woven into cloth for table use, for bed-linen, for towels and for summer 
 wear generally. The flax wheel is now among the curiosities. 
 
 In 1803 General McClure erected a saw-mill and plaster-mill at Ham- 
 mondsport. He was the author of the first commercial enterprise at 
 Hammondsport, and of the first commerce on Lake Keuka, as related 
 in the first pages of this work. 
 
 As the woods were cleared from the hills another industry sprang up 
 
524 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 that was of general importance to the farmers — the manufacture of pot- 
 ash. The ashery was located on Pulteney street in the the northeastern 
 part of Hammondsport. As the logs and trees were burned the ashes 
 were secured, brought to town by the wagon-load and disposed of at 
 the ashery. The lye was extracted from the ashes and boiled down to 
 the consistency of potash, which was packed in barrels and sent to Bal- 
 timore or New York to be made into saleratus and kindred compounds. 
 When Mr. Israel Wood built his farm-house the nails for the building 
 were eighteen pence a pound. These he paid for with ashes gathered 
 after the logs and brush were burned. 
 
 Of the early citizens no one was more generally known than Elder 
 Sanford, who settled at North Urbana in the early days of the present 
 century. He preached the first sermon in the town in 1795 at the 
 house of Samuel Baker. He was one of an original company of twelve 
 men who bought extensive tracts of land about Lake Keuka of Phelps 
 and Gorham. 
 
 Before surveys were made the twelve men made, or caused to be 
 made, a supposed map of the territory regardless of hills and gorges, 
 rivulets and lake. Imaginary lines were drawn and divisions made to 
 represent the sections of land, and the divisions subdivided into var- 
 ious parcels. The company of twelve drew lots to determine their pos- 
 sessions of the different portions. The result was that now and then a 
 division was no more than a certain portion of Lake Keuka, and in 
 some instances a portion of the lake and a parcel of the land. Such a 
 portion fell to one of the twelve, all of which was in the lake except 
 the point known as Malvaruh, owned by Dr. Boericke, of Philadelphia, 
 the original possessor of the fraction of an acre styled " The Point." 
 It was afterward known as " The Cat's Ear,'' until Mr. J.N. Crane 
 beautified it and called the spot Glen Grove. 
 
 Elder Sanford was instrumental in the building of the old Wayne meet- 
 ing-house in 1794, which was constructed without any means of heat- 
 ing the building, the idea prevailing that religious warmth should be 
 sufficient. Elder Sanford was blunt of speech, and his eccentricities 
 have furnished the warp and woof of many a story that has delighted 
 the listener. His former home was in the Wyoming valley. He and his 
 famil}" were among the number chosen for slaughter at the famous In- 
 dian massacre. His presence was required in another part of the coun- 
 try on the day fixed for the terrible murder, and by taking his family with 
 him he saved the lives of all his household. This noted divine preach- 
 ed in barns and dwelling houses, whenever and wherever he could se- 
 cure an audience. 
 
 The town was not organized until April 17, 1822. It was formed 
 from Bath, and later a part was again added to Bath. At the same time a 
 
TOWN OF URBANA. 525 
 
 portion of Wheeler was added to Urbana, and in 1848 a part of Pulte- 
 ne}' was also added. There arose the usual controversy about the 
 name to be given the town. Elder Sanford was earnest in his efforts 
 to have the town named Jordan. His strong belief in Baptist doctrine no 
 doubt influencing his wish. The vallej' people wanted the town named 
 Urbana, possibly thinking the name in keeping with the climate. Ad- 
 journed meetings were held, and finally the majority ruling, the town 
 was called Urbana. 
 
 The population, according to the census enumeration of 1890, was 
 
 2,576- 
 
 The first town meeting was held at the Pleasant Valley school-house 
 on the first Tuesday in March, 1823, and the following officers were 
 elected : 
 
 Henry A. Townsend, supervisor ; Lazarus Hammond, town clerk ; 
 Andrew Lay ton, Henry Griffin and Abram Brundage, assessors ; Obe- 
 diah Wheeler, Reuben Hall and Abram Brundage, commissioners of 
 highways ; Caleb Rogers, Stephen Kingsley and William H. Ennis, 
 constables ; Samuel Baker" and William Read, overseers of the poor; 
 William Read, Edward Townsend and Franklin Baker, commissioners 
 of schools; John Walters, Abram Brundage and Reuben Hall, fence 
 viewers ; William Baker, pound master. 
 
 It was voted at that first town meeting to set apart $50 for the sup- 
 port of the poor, also to raise by tax on the town as much money as 
 received by the town from the state for the schools. 
 
 William Hastings, father cf Frank Hastings, of Hammondsport, 
 built the first store in the year 1825. Lemuel D. Hastings came that 
 year to Hammondsport and entered the store of his brother, William, 
 as clerk, where he remained ten years. At the end of which time he 
 engaged in mercantile business for himself. He was closely identified 
 with the interests of Hammondsport until his death, which occurred on 
 March 19, 1891. 
 
 Lazarus Hammond laid out a portion of his farm into lots and streets 
 and gave the public square to the village that is named in honor of its 
 founder. Buildings began to cluster about the public square, and an- 
 other store was built by Ira G. Smith, of Prattsburgh. 
 
 The construction of the Erie canal about this time gave a wonderful 
 impetus to Hammondsport. Instead of transporting produce and mer- 
 chandise by the rivers Conhocton, Canisteo, Chemung and Susque- 
 hanna, shipments were made to the northward, and to make the route 
 more complete, the Crooked Lake canal was constructed from Penn 
 Yan to Dresden, enabling boats to be run direct to New York. Ham- 
 mondsport was the head of navigation for a large extent of country. 
 Grain was hauled from Dansville, Prattsburgh, Belmont and the entire 
 southern portion of the county. Hundreds of thousands of bushels of

 wheat were purchased by grain dealers, prominent among whom were 
 A. M. Adsit, J. W. Davis, William and Lemuel Hastings, and Mr. 
 Delos Rose at Hammondsport. Along the lake, store-houses were 
 erected and other dealers purchased large supplies. In 1S31 Ham- 
 mondsport was a rival of Chicago. It was a question with many seek- 
 ing new homes whether to migrate to Chicago or Hammondsport. Mr. 
 Delos Rose was one of the number who questioned with himself as to 
 which town should be his future home. He chose Hammondsport, and 
 the choice may have been a narrow escape from great wealth, as Mr. 
 Rose possessed rare business tact. The year 1831 was an era of pro- 
 gress and great possibilities for Hammondsport. It had become not 
 only a great grain market, but a favorable centre of trade for a large 
 farming community. Doctors, lawyers, merchants and mechanics made 
 their way to Hammondsport for a permanent residence, believing that 
 the little village at the head of Lake Keuka was to be a mighty citj*. 
 Among those who took up their residence in and about Hammondsport 
 were Morris Brown, Dr. Church, B. Franklin, W. G. Angel, Martin 
 Grover, Jacob Larrowe, John Powers, John Randel, Mr. Ripley, Dr) r - 
 den Henderson and many others who figured prominently in the after 
 history of Hammondsport. Of those who by their energies added to 
 the material wealth of the place, no one in the history of the town 
 stands out more prominently than the Rev. William W. Bostwick. He 
 was such a man as the world waits for but seldom sees. In 1829 he 
 organized St. James Episcopal church, and was the rector fourteen 
 years, during which time the old church edifice was built. He inter- 
 ested the people in the silk industry. The white mulberry trees were 
 grown for the silk worms to feed on, and the enterprise, in 1835, bid 
 fair to become a great industry. The black mulberry trees are native 
 in the valley, and the white mulberry took to the soil and climate verj' 
 kindly. The Rev. William Bostwick was rich in original ideas for the 
 betterment of those about him. Among his inventions was an almanac 
 that was to last ninety-nine years. He expended considerable money 
 devising ways and means for carrying out his ideas. 
 
 The most successful venture was the introduction of the grape cul- 
 ture. He obtained cuttings from Catawba and Isabella grape vines, 
 planted them in his garden, which is on the premises now owned and 
 occupied by J. W. Davis in Hammondsport, and was satisfied of the 
 possibility of successful grape culture. The Rev. William Bostwick 
 planned better than he knew or lived to know. In the town of Urbana 
 alone not less than fifteen hundred persons are interested in grape cul- 
 ture and wine making. In 1890 the grape crop of Lake Keuka and 
 Pleasant Valley amounted to over twenty-four thousand tons. 
 
TOWN OF URBANA. 527 
 
 Among the best citizens of Hammondsport and vicinity are those 
 who have been attracted to the place by the grape and wine interests. 
 
 The grape venture was a most fortunate one for Hammondsport and 
 surroundings. Xew business centres were formed in consequence of 
 the construction of the canals and railroads, and business was greatly 
 diverted from Hammondsport. Its usefulness as a grain market was 
 destroyed. Then it was that the people cast about for new business in- 
 terests. The steep hillsides, not unlike the stone the builders rejected, 
 became first in commercial value. 
 
 One small enterprise led to another of greater proportions, until now 
 it is the all-absorbing industry. The increase of the grape business 
 along Lake Keuka led to increased demand for means of transportation , 
 and new steamers were built. 
 
 William Hastings was the first man to plant cuttings from the Rev. 
 Mr. Bostwick's grape vines. It is a noticable fact that the Catawba 
 grape planted in the Rev. Mr. Bostwick's garden, notwithstanding the 
 amount of culture given it, did not fully mature. It was not until 
 transferred to the hillsides that it reached perfection. 
 
 Grapes were not supposed to have an3 r commercial value until 1 847 , 
 when William Hastings shipped a package of grapes to Xew York. 
 These were grown on the hillside, on what is now the Orchestrion 
 Hall property. The grapes met with ready sale, and more were 
 shipped by canal, as was the first package. Eight years later Judge 
 Larrowe and Orlando Shepherd planted about one-half acre each, on the 
 north side of the valley near Hammondsport. 
 
 The first large shipment of grapes from the lake region was made by 
 J. W. Prentiss of Pulteney, in 1856. He sent a ton of Isabella grapes 
 packed in half-barrels. The}' were sold and the dealer sent for another 
 ton. The second shipment Mr. Prentiss superintended and found sales 
 for. The two tons netted him sixteen cents a pound. From the time 
 Mr. Prentiss sold his grapes a new interest was awakened in grape cul- 
 ture, and many vinej-ards were planted the following year. Shepherd 
 and Larrowe increased their vineyards to two or three acres each. From 
 i860 grape growing became a general enterprise, and the vineyards were 
 extended in every direction. 
 
 Of those who have studied the grape interest in all its bearings, no one 
 has been more diligent in efforts to advance the industry than Henry 
 Fairchild, and he has now more acres of fine vineyards than any 
 other resident in Hammondsport. 
 
 It is an interesting fact that throughout the grape growing and wine 
 making districts there is less of crime than in any other territory of the 
 same size in the state of New York, although densely populated. 
 
528 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 Hammondsport has been an incorporated village thirty-five years. 
 The petitioners for the incorporation were Henry Benham, Benjamin 
 Bennitt, Delos Rose, William Hastings, S. B. Fairchilds and Samuel 
 Watrous. On June 16, 1856, the order for incorporation was en- 
 tered in the court of sessions in Steuben county. On June 19, 1856, 
 a vote was taken, the majority in favor of incorporation ruling. A 
 meeting was held in November following for the election of officers. 
 On January 24, 1871, the village was reincorporated under a law passed 
 April 20, 1 87 1, and a new charter secured. 
 
 Of the buildings that have from time to time adorned the village, the 
 most prominent was the Mallory stone mill, erected in 1S35. Thirty 
 thousand dollars were expended in the construction of the mill. It 
 still stands and to all appearances in all the strength of former years. 
 It was built by Meredith Mallory of Yates county, who equipped the 
 mill in perfect order. Mr. Mallory failed to realize any profit on the 
 enterprise. Several years since it was abandoned for milling purposes. 
 It is now owned by A. F. Bricout and devoted to the manufacture of 
 wine. 
 
 Schools. 
 
 In 1795 the agent of the Pulteney estate gave to William Read, 
 Amos Stone and Samuel Baker, and their heirs, fifty acres of land for 
 school purposes. Afterward, by an act of the legislature, it was 
 made over to the trustees and their successors in office, and at the pres- 
 ent time is doing the work intended by Col. Williamson. The first 
 school -house was built in 1795, and Eliphalet Norris was the first 
 teacher. Charles Williamson's offer of land for school purposes was 
 made to other districts to induce settlement, but the Pleasant Valley 
 people were the only ones who took legal measures to secure the land. 
 
 The first school-houses, like the first dwelling-houses, were con- 
 structed of logs with a fire-place and stone chimney, and were some- 
 times roofed with slabs. The writing desks consisted of wide boards 
 fastened to the side of the wall. The pupil when writing sat with face 
 to the wall. The seats were made of slabs, fiat side up resting on four 
 legs. Man}- citizens of the town of Urbana received their school edu- 
 cation in such school-houses, and of those whose lot it was to attend 
 district school in the early part of the century we may truthfully say 
 they did their own thinking, which may be considered one of the main 
 objects of school study. 
 
 The requirements of the teachers were in keeping with the surround- 
 ings. One qualification was highly necessary, nainely, the ability to 
 make and mend a pen, which was always made of a goose-quill. No 
 particular time was assigned for writing , and the teacher was likel y to 
 be called upon at all times to make or mend a pen or set a copy. The

 expression in common use " beyond the pictures," is believed to have 
 had reference originally to Webster's spelling book. The easy lessons 
 were accompanied by pictures, and " beyond the pictures " came the 
 hard readings. 
 
 The atlas, now considered indispensible in the study of geography, 
 was unknown in the first schools of the town. Neither was the black- 
 board in use, nor any school aparatus for the better illustration of 
 studies. 
 
 In 1823, the commissioners of common schools, William Read, 
 Franklin Baker and Edward Townsend, laid out seven districts. In 
 1827 the town received from the state for the support of the schools 
 fifty-nine dollars and seventy-six cents. The first school-house in the 
 village was built in 1827, where St. James Episcopal church now 
 stands . 
 
 The present stone school building was erected for an academy, in 
 1858. Later it was purchased by the district. It is now a Union Free 
 School under the management of a board of education. It has lately 
 been placed under regents, and is in all respects fully up to the stand- 
 ard in the state. Professor Cates is the principal, and Miss Parsons 
 preceptress. Three other teachers are employed in the school. There 
 are two hundred and fifty registered pupils. 
 
 Churches. — The first Episcopal service in the town was held at the 
 house of Henn- A. Townsend, Cold Springs. Mrs. Townsend was a 
 firm believer in church doctrine. She secured the services of an Epis- 
 copal clergyman and then dispatched messengers in every direction an- 
 nouncing the meetings to be held at her house. She secured good at- 
 tendance and the meetings were continued. The officers who certified 
 to the instrument of incorporation of St. James church were Israel 
 Wood, John Mitchel, Jr., Zelotes Knapp, Ezekiel Pulling, Cornelius 
 Younglove, Lazarus Hammond, John Powers and Henry A. Town- 
 send. The first Episcopal church was dedicated by Bishop Onderdonk 
 August 27, 1833. It gave place to the present one, the corner stone 
 of which was laid by Bishop Coxe April 18, 1876, and was consecrated 
 June 12, 1877. The valuation of the new church is $10,000. Rev. J. 
 V. Striker is the present rector. 
 
 The second church in Hammondsport was the Presbyterian, organ- 
 ized September 14, 1831. A committee of the Presbytery of Bath met 
 at Hammondsport for the purpose of organization and seven persons 
 presented letters from their respective churches. The Rev. Mr. Flag- 
 ler was the first pastor. He remained with the congregation onej'ear. 
 The names of the persons bearing letters of admission were Stephen K . 
 Tourtellot, Thomas White, Thomas Judd, Augustus Moody, Samuel 
 A. Hastings, Lucinda Daniels and Eliza Flagler. The Rev. Mr. Flag- 
 
530 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 ler was father of the well-known millionaire and philanthropist, 
 Henry M. Flagler, of the Standard Oil Company. Judge Hammond 
 gave the lot to the society and William Hastings built the church and 
 presented it to the same body. During the year and a half that the 
 Rev. Mr. Flagler remained with the congregation forty-three members 
 were added. The church increased and prospered, and a new church 
 was dedicated in 1847. The present membership is about two hun- 
 dred. Rev. Alfred T. Vail, the present pastor, was born in Chester, 
 Orange county, N. Y., June 4, 1859. He received an academic educa- 
 tion at the Cornwall Academy, ajid graduated from the Auburn Theo- 
 logical Seminary in 1883. He was ordained and installed pastor of the 
 churches of Dexter and Brownville, Jefferson county, N. V., in 1S84, 
 and served acceptably till November, 18S9, when he was installed pas- 
 tor of the Presbyterian church of Hammondsport. The Methodist so- 
 ciety is the largest in Hammondsport. It has largely increased in 
 wealth and numbers. Their house of worship ranks with the best in 
 the town. 
 
 St. Gabriel's Roman Catholic church at Hamihondsport was organ- 
 ized in 1 843 by Catholics from Ireland , among whom were the Kernans 
 of Wa3 r ne, the Laughlins and others in this and adjoining towns. Their 
 first priest was Rev. Patrick Bradley, who was succeeded by Thomas 
 McEvoy. In 1847 lne society purchased the old church of the Presby- 
 terians. During the early years of the society's history, the}' were 
 served by priests from Java Centre, Wyoming county, from Dansville, 
 Penn Yan, Corning and Bath. In 1862 the church was repaired and 
 improved b} r the addition of a new altar, stations of the cross, etc. 
 Among its missionary priests were Revs. Richard Steger, P. Mazarett, 
 D. L,. Vanderpree, M. Darcej r , and Father Bailey, who served until 
 1880, when it became a separate mission. Father J. A. Mullen, a 
 nephew of Cardinel McCloskj-, was succeeded by Rev. C. O. Byrne. 
 The next in order were Revs. T. Yoss and D. J. Dailey. The latter 
 was succeeded in 1883 by Rev. G. W. Agler, under whose ministration 
 the present beautiful edifice was built. In 1886 he was succeeded by 
 the present efficient and popular young priest, Father F. J. Naughton. 
 The church has a membership of 210, and the Prattsburgh mission 100. 
 The value of the church property in Hammondsport is about $12,000. 
 
 Rev. F. J. Naughton, the present pastor, was born in the city of Buf- 
 falo in 1859, where he received his education, taking a classical course 
 in the Jesuits College. Subsequently he graduated from the Seminary 
 of Our L,ady of Angels, Niagara Falls. In 1886 he became pastor of 
 St. Gabriel's church, Hammondsport, and of the Prattsburgh mission. 
 
 At North Urbana the Baptist church was erected in 1834. It was 
 built after the style of churches of that period, with high boxed pews, 
 
TOWN OF UBBANA. 531 
 
 and galleries extending on three sides of the church. The pulpit was 
 built high above the pews so that occupants must needs look up, 
 literally if not spiritually, to comprehend the speaker. For many years 
 it was the only public building, and it was open for the good of all. 
 
 Less than a score of years since, a second Baptist church was built on, 
 Mt. Washington, about two miles from Hammondsport. As at all the 
 other churches mentioned, meetings are held regularly, and good con- 
 gregations are reported. 
 
 The Methodist church at North Urbana preceded the church of the 
 same denomination at Hammondsport in organization. It was built 
 after the model of churches of 1840, but like all the other churches of 
 long ago, it has undergone remodeling and only the exterior remains 
 that tells that it belonged to another generation 
 
 ADDITIONAL SKETCHES. 
 
 Biographical. — Benjamin Bennitt was born March 23, 1827, and died 
 August 24, 1889. Almost with the first settlement of Urbana, and before 
 the year 18 10, the Bennitt family had established its homestaed upon 
 the west hills. Daniel Bennitt was a pioneer, and the father of a fam- 
 ily remarkable for its size as well as the sterling qualities of its mem- 
 bers. Among the youngest of Daniel Bennitt's twenty-three children 
 was Lieutenant-Colonel Benjamin Bennitt, whose birth occurred March 
 23, 1827, at the homestead on the west hill, three miles north of Ham- 
 mondsport. With his father's family he lived at the homestead until 
 seven years of age, when the father, with ten of his children, took up 
 the march of empire, and by means of wagon transportation emigrated 
 to Steuben county, Indiana. After three years of life in the new coun- 
 ty the father died, and the remnant of this mammoth family was 
 broken up, never again to be united. Benjamin returned to Urbana, 
 and made his home with his sister, Mrs. Mary Hutches, upon Mount 
 Washington. Here as a farmer boy he developed a mental and physi- 
 cal manhood that in after years served him well in his chosen profes- 
 sion , and in the stormy scenes that the great war for the preservation 
 of the Union produced, and in which he was an active participant. 
 
 Winters on the farm permitted attendance at school, and there was se- 
 cured a good common school education , so that he at an early age evolved 
 from scholar to tutor, and for a time he was a teacher in several of the 
 different public schools in the town of Urbana. Ill health, however, 
 unfitted him for farm work, and he turned his attention to Coke and 
 Blackstone. . He studied in the offices of the late Judge Jacob Larrowe 
 of Hammondsport, and the late Judge Harlow Comstock of Canan- 
 daigua, and was admitted to the practice of law March 6, 1850. Sub- 
 sequently he entered into partnership with Judge Larrowe, which con- 
 tinued until the call to arms in April, 1861. During the eleven years 
 
532 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 preceding the great conflict he grew rapidly as a law} r er and a man of 
 affairs, and with the exception of the four years given to the service of 
 his country, his life was spent in the practice of his prefession at Ham- 
 mondsport. During nearly thirty years he was justice of the peace - 
 and served several terms as a justice of sessions. As a lawyer he was 
 thorough and conscientious in his work, and exercised a strong mind 
 and a strong will in his many contests in the courts. His counsel was- 
 much sought, and his brethren of the law who knew him well were ad- 
 mirers of his abilities and valued highly his friendship. 
 
 There were few soldiers more faithful to duty than Major Bennitt- 
 Hewas brave and intrepid in battle, j T et calm in times of extreme peril ; 
 and he was beloved by those belonging to his command. He was an 
 enthusiastic soldier when war was declared and the spirit of patriotism 
 controlled every act of his till peace was again proclaimed. He was 
 the first man to enlist from the town of Urbana. Fort Sumpter was 
 fired upon the 12th of April, 1861, the call for troops made on the 15th, 
 and he went to Bath and enlisted on the 17th. 
 
 He joined Company A of the Twenty-third New York Volunteers, 
 under Capt. Theodore Schlick of Dansville, as private, but on May 16 
 was made orderly sergeant, and on the 2Sth of the following November 
 was made first lieutenant of the company by Governor Edwin E. Mor- 
 gan of this state. A well-remembered event in the history of the regi- 
 ment occurred at Elmira, when a number of the soldiers were inclined 
 to mutiny on account of scanty pay and provisions. At that time Mr. 
 Bennitt, then a sergeant, made a stirring speech in which he said that 
 if their patriotism was measured by the pay they were to receive their 
 sen-ice would be of little value to their country. The exhortation to 
 loyalty was an important factor in restoring order and obedience among 
 the men. 
 
 With this company he was in the battles of Hall's Hill, Gainesville 
 and Groveton, Rappahannock Crossing and Second Bull Run, under 
 Gen. McDowell; South Mountain and Antietam, under McClellan ; 
 Fredericksburg under Burnside, and Chancellorsville under Hooker. 
 He then returned home and was commissioned to organize a company 
 ofcavaln'. The new company with Benjamin Bennitt as captain and 
 Daniel Layton as first lieutenant was mustered in at Rochester on the 
 2d of February, 1864. There were ninety men and the number was in- 
 creased to one hundred and three before they went to the front. This 
 company became a part of the Twenty-second New York cavalry, 
 joined the Army of the Potomac and entered into all the battles under 
 Grant. 
 
 After his return to the field with his company of cavalry he passed 
 through adventures that few, even of his comrades could parallel. The

 year was one of great hardship, though he could never be persuaded to 
 narrate or scarcely refer to the privations endured. He was in the 
 twenty-seven day battle of the Wilderness, in which the fighting con- 
 tinued over eighty miles, from Spottsylvania Court House to Cold Harbor. 
 His regiment was one of the command of General Wilson, whose great 
 •cavalry raid is one of the conspicuous events of the war. General Wil- 
 son cut loose with his dashing division of cavalry from the left of Gen- 
 eral Grant's army and went south of Richmond to sever the railway 
 ■communication on which Lee's army depended for supplies. The raid 
 was marked with frequent battles, including those of Ream's Station, 
 Dinwiddie Court House, Southerland Station, Roanoake River, Chris- 
 tianville and Stony Creek Bridge. It was at Stony Creek Bridge that 
 a squadron under command of Captain Bennitt was detailed to destroy 
 •ammunition and burn the wagons. The rebels were too strong under 
 Fitzhugh Lee and Wade Hampton, and the retreat was a lively one. 
 A part of Captain Bennitt 's command was surrounded and compelled 
 to surrender. The surrender was made to Fitzhugh Lee on the 29th of 
 June. Of the thirty-one members of his company captured at that time 
 only twelve ever returned to their homes. Captain Bennitt was eight 
 months in southern prisons, including four escapes, and during that 
 long time it was not known by relatives whether he was living. His 
 first escape was by jumping from a railway train in South Carolina. 
 He and his comrade were compelled by thirst to go to a well and were 
 •seen and captured later in the night. The second escape was by walk- 
 ing between the guards at the Columbia, S. C, prison under pretense 
 ■of getting wood. He was out twelve days with Major McClennan of 
 his regiment. Hunger compelled them to apply to a negro for food 
 and he betrayed them. The third escape was during a transfer from 
 ■Columbia, to which place he was being returned after his re-capture, 
 -eighty miles from that place. The prisoners made a saw out of a case- 
 knife, and while they sang patriotic songs a hole was sawed in the bot- 
 tom of the car. Captain Bennitt was the fourth man to get out of the 
 •car. Lieutenant King of the 3d Ohio Infantry went with him, and 
 they tried to reach Sherman's army. They were re-taken in two days, 
 -when but a few hundred yards from the "Union lines. Captain Bennitt 
 -was placed in the custody of a Georgia regiment and succeeded in elud- 
 ing them. This was on the night of the 23d of February, 1865, but it 
 •was too dark to get far away, and he was re-taken during a heavy rain 
 next day. This was in the northern part of South Carolina. He was 
 ■taken to Yorkville, Chesterville, Charlotte, Saulsbury prison, Golds- 
 "boro and Greensboro, and finally exchanged March 3d, and was al- 
 lowed to come home. He was in the prison at Macon, Libby Prison, 
 
534 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 the prison at Augusta and other places, where he was a witness of many 
 of the dreadful scenes of the war. 
 
 Captain Bennitt was commissioned major of the 22nd New York 
 cavalry by Governor Fen ton, and President Johnson conferred upon 
 him by brevet the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel ' ' for meritorious servi- 
 ces." He was appointed inspector-general of the 20th brigade of the 
 National Guard of the state, February 15, 1866, by Governor Fenton. 
 Men who knew him speak only in the highest terms of his bravery and 
 calmness as a soldier, and his warm heart made him many strong friends. 
 The evening of the day that the news of Lee's surrender reached Ham- 
 mondsport was made memorable by the people. A large meeting was 
 held at the Presbyterian church, at which speeches were made, patri- 
 otic songs sung, and Major Bennitt was presented a handsome sword, 
 which is still preserved as a valued keepsake. 
 
 In a chapter of reminiscences of the rebellion Captain Albert Grant, 
 late of Washington, D. C, who was Major Bennitt 's companion on his 
 first escape, describes their several experiences among South Carolina 
 swamps. He closes the chapter with this tribute: "He was one of the 
 bravest, coolest, truest officers that ever served his country." When 
 the two men separated at Macon they never saw each other again. Af- 
 ter twenty-one years, however, Captain Grant, in 1885, secured Captain 
 Bennitt's address and established a correspondence. 
 
 In the years following the great war his time was devoted to the 
 practice of his profession at Hammondsport. He never had anj r desire 
 to leave the township of his nativity. Her beautiful hills, rising in 
 majesty, with the silvery lake and lovety valley between, all had their 
 charms for him, which he never overcame. He delighted to walk in 
 the glens or by the lake shore, and commune with nature. His prac- 
 tice took him into all the neighboring counties and he was well known , 
 and his ability recognized and respected. 
 
 Major Bennitt died on Saturday, August 24, 1889, at his home in 
 Hammondsport, attended by all the members of his family. The 
 burial was in the village cemetery, under the auspices of the Episcopal 
 church and the Monroe Brundage Post of the Grand Army of the Re- 
 public, of which he was a past commander. 
 
 Major Bennitt was married February 8, 1854, to Melinda Wheeler, a 
 daughter of Obadiah Wheeler of North Urbana, a man of Quaker 
 parentage and a pioneer of Urbana, whose sterling qualities are still re- 
 membered by those whose recollections extend as far back as the 60'? 
 and before. Their only children are Col. Fred. Bennitt of Joliet, 111., 
 a lawyer, and Mark Bennitt of Buffalo, managing editor of the " Daily 
 Times " of that city. 
 
 Ephraim, son of William Aulls, was bom in 1773. He married

 Anna (born June 1 1 , 1778), daughter of Elder EphraimSanford. Their 
 children were, William, Ephraim, Thomas, Sally A., and Rhuhama. 
 He died May 18, 1829, aged fifty-six years, and his wife died April 27, 
 1844. 
 
 Judge Jacob Larrowe, son of Alburtus Larrowe, was born in the town 
 of Bath, now Wheeler, December 19, 1807. He was reared in his 
 native town, and when a young man taught school in Pleasant Valley. 
 He read law, was admitted and practiced his profession in Hammonds- 
 port for many years. He was appointed judge of Steuben county in 
 1840, and was afterward elected to the same office. He was a man 
 well known and highly esteemed throughout the county. 
 
 He engaged extensively in grape culture, finally devoting his whole 
 time to it. Judge Larrowe married Jeanette, daughter of Lawrence 
 Van Wormer of Cohocton. Their children were Emily, deceased; 
 Eugene and Lawrence. 
 
 Eugene Larrowe was born in this town, August 30, 1835. He re- 
 ceived his education at the Hammondsport and Prattsburgh Academies, 
 and at Alfred University. He took up the profession of civil engineer, 
 and was for several years engaged in the construction of western 
 railroads. He returned to this town and assumed the business of grape 
 culture left by his father. He married Anna A. Johnson of Can- 
 andaigua. 
 
 Rev. Freeman Van Amburgh came from Cortland county soon after 
 the close of the war of 1 8 1 2 , in which he served at New York and at 
 Buffalo. He settled in the town of Bath near the Urbana town line, 
 where he engaged in farming. Being a Baptist preacher, he used to 
 preach sometimes as a supply, but never settled in any regular charge 
 after locating here. He died in 1871. 
 
 Josiah Webster emigrated from Herkimer in the Mohawk valley in 
 18 16, and settled in the eastern part of the town on the farm until re- 
 cent years known as the Webster farm, now owned by J. W. Davis, of 
 Hammondsport. Mr. Webster came with a family of seven children, 
 and with his sons made a clearing and erected log buildings. He was 
 a cooper by trade, and for many years made all the tubs, barrels and 
 firkins used in this section. He died in 1852. 
 
 Samuel Drew, jr., born in Warwick July 25, 1795, came from Orange 
 county, N. Y., in 18 17, and settled in the town of Pulteney, now Ur- 
 bana. and resided on the farm on which he first settled until his death 
 on January 27, 1875. His wife was Sally, daughter of David Hutches. 
 Twelve children were born to them, nine of whom are living. His 
 father, Samuel Drew, a brother of the late Daniel Drew, also came to 
 this county in 1817. 
 
 Ira Gibson came from between Seneca and Cayuga lakes in 182 1, 
 
536 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 and after a residence of one year in the town of Reading came to this, 
 town and settled above Gibson's Landing. He had eight sons and 
 three daughters. Mr. Gibson died in 1885 aged eighty -eight years. 
 
 Norman Evans, bom in Wales, settled in Newburgh, Orange county, 
 and in 1840 came to Hammondsport, where for many years he was in 
 the service of the late Lemuel Hastings. He engaged in grape culture, 
 and at the time of his death, which occurred on November 3, 1887, he 
 possessed three vineyards. His wife was Marilda Kirk. 
 
 Charles Clark came from eastern New York about 1840 and settled 
 in the northern part of the town on the Clark Cor}-ell farm. His wife 
 was Sarah Bailey, by whom he had four children, Bradley C, Amasa, 
 Nancy, and Freeman, who died at the age oftwenty-three years. Brad- 
 ley C. married Jennie Fries, and Amasa married Elizabeth A. Fries. 
 
 Manufactures . 
 
 Pleasant Valley Wine Company. — This company was organized in 
 i860, in its present location, being now the most extensive grape grow- 
 ing region east of the Rocky Mountains. The object in view was to 
 improve the cultivation of the vine, to bring out and treat new varie- 
 ties, and to make good, honest, wholesome wines. This policy inau- 
 gurated by its founders has been strictly adhered to, and is to-day the 
 oldest, largest, and most successful wine house in America ; and its 
 product is found upon the tables of the best families in the land. 
 
 This company makes the popular brand of Champagne Great West- 
 ern Extra Dry, also Dry and Sweet Catawba, Port, Claret and Brandy. 
 This is one of the very few wine houses that has never made or sold 
 any misnamed or imitation wine. They make and sell only pure 
 American Wines and give to them American names. 
 
 The chief factor in founding this company was the late Charles D. 
 Champlin ; and a more true and conscientious American never lived ; 
 and his motto was honest dealing and no deceit. 
 
 Its present officers are : James Lyon, President, Bath, X. Y., A. S. 
 Tuttle, Vice Pres., New York City, D. Bauder, Sec'y and Treas., 
 Rheims, N. Y., Jules Masson, Supt., Rheims, N. Y. 
 
 Germania Wine Cellar. — A little more than thirty years ago Jacob 
 Frey, an intelligent and industrious representative of the faderland 
 which has given to America thousands of its most worthy citizens, lo- 
 cated in Hammondsport. He opened a hotel with a bakery attached, 
 on the site of his present residence in the centre of the village, and very 
 soon established a successful business which he conducted for more than 
 twenty years. About the time that Mr. Frey came here the grape in- 
 dustry was in its infancy. A few grape vines in the gardens of the vil- 
 lage had produced superior fruit. Experiments in grape culture soon 
 began upon a more extensive scale. A little wine was produced in a 
 
TOWN OF DRBANA. 537 
 
 crude way, and its superior quality attracted attention and favor. Mr. 
 Frey had given some attention to the production of wine in his native 
 land. He came from a section of Germany where the celebrated Rhine 
 wine attains its highest perfection, and he had been in many localities 
 in Europe where the most noted brands of sparkling and still wines are 
 produced. Mr. Frey planted his little vineyard, adding to it each sea- 
 son, adopting the system of culture and training which he had witness- 
 ed in Europe, and availing himself of any improvements which time 
 and experience had proven of any value. About twenty years since he 
 had a crop of his own raising large enough to begin the manufacture of 
 wine. With a tight barrel and a pounder, the same machinery that 
 our grand-mothers used for the renovation of soiled linen, he produced 
 three hundred gallons of wine. This was the pure juice of the grape, 
 a genuine, unadulterated, honest wine. It was standard goods, and 
 during the years that have since elapsed he has fully maintained the 
 quality of his production. The wines and brandy to-day offered by the 
 Germania Wine Cellars are the same pure and reliable goods establish- 
 ed and uniformly maintained by Jacob Frey. 
 
 While his vineyard was growing, Mr. Frey had a trio of plants com- 
 ing on that were of far greater value. Three sons, chips of the old 
 block, each of them combining the thrift and industry of the German, 
 and push and energy of the Yankee, were growing up in the business. 
 About five years since Mr. Frey retired from active life, and to succeed 
 him these three 3-oung men organized what is now widely known as the 
 Germania Wine Cellars. The establishment is located at their large 
 vineyard, a mile and a half from the village, commanding a magnificent 
 view of the valley and the lake. The main building was erected in 
 1881 and enlarged in 1882. It is 50x130 feet, and two stories high 
 above the cellar. The distillery and grapery are separate structures 
 adjoining. 
 
 The still wine vaults are filled with casks holding from 1 ,200 to 3,000 
 gallons each, and they have storage capacity for 100,000 gallons. Be- 
 sides their large vineyard in the valley, they have avery fine one on the 
 shore of the lake. They cultivate the best varieties of grapes for the 
 production of the different kinds of wine, and use all at the cellars. 
 They never sell any fruit, but are always read}' to buy all offered that 
 comes up to the standard required for their use. Thej' produce all the 
 varieties of wines known to the trade. Their Excelsior Champagne is 
 made from the best selected grapes in the identical manner that the 
 noted sparkling wines of France are produced, and is second to none. 
 Their Riesling is an extra fine dry wine, and is pronounced by good 
 judges fully equal to any imported Rhine wine. On this brand they 
 have a very extensive German trade. Their sherry is superior to any 
 
538 TOWN OF UEBANA. 
 
 other produced in this country, and has the rich flavor and color of the 
 renowned sherries of Spain. They have a good trade on this wine 
 among many wholesale dealers and leading druggists who have never 
 before handled American goods. Their Port is a clear, rich and fruity 
 wine that never fails to give perfect satisfaction. The Catawba, Claret 
 and Isabella, produced at the Germania Wine Cellars, is unsurpassed. 
 A specialty of this house is a double-distilled pale brandy, which is 
 not put on the market until it has attained greater age than any other 
 American production. It is fully equal to the best imported goods. 
 
 Mr. John J. Frey is the secretary and business manager; Mr. Gottlieb 
 Frey is the superintendent and wine-maker. They have already se- 
 cured a very large trade, which is constantly increasing. They have 
 good customers in fifteen states, and they stay with them. Every ship- 
 ment that goes from the Germania Wine Cellars is an advertisement for 
 the house. There are wines that are sold for less money, and there are 
 wines that are held at a higher figure than their price-list, but there are 
 none that excel them in purity, flavor or quality. 
 
 We take pleasure in presenting an accurate engraving of an establish- 
 ment that is in every respect a credit to Hammondsport, and we com- 
 mend the proprietors to the public as gentlemen worthy of confidence 
 and patronage. Dealers desiring first-class goods with fair and honor- 
 able treatment in the transaction of business, will make no mistake by 
 sending their orders to the Germania Wine Cellars, Hammondsport, 
 N. Y. 
 
 The Urbana Wine Company was organized in 1865 with a capital 
 stock of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and two hundred and 
 twenty-five acres of grape land. The cellars are located on the west 
 side of Lake Keuka, four miles from Hammondsport. 
 
 The Hammondsport Wine Cellars are located in the western part of 
 the village, and like all the other wine companies, own extensive vine- 
 yards. G. H. Wheeler jr., has general supervision. 
 
 Glen Wine Company (limited) was established in 1SS1 with a capital 
 of Si 0,000. A. F. Bricout superintendent and secretary. Capacity 
 100,000 gallons of wine and 100,000 bottles of champagne. 
 
 Long-well, Moosbrugger cf Co., manufacturers and producers of na- 
 tive wines and brandies, are located about one mile from Hammonds- 
 port, up the valley. Joseph Moosbrugger is a practical wine maker of 
 several years' experience in Europe. After a residence of some years 
 in New York city he came to Hammondsport as superintendent of the 
 Hammondsport Wine Company. Subsequently he organized the Col- 
 umbia Wine Company, and after severing his connection with that com- 
 pany he established the cellars of the present firm, in partnership with 
 J. M. Piper. At the end of a year he purchased Mr. Piper's interest,

 and later disposed of it to Harry B. Longwell and J. M. King. Pure 
 wines for sacramental and medicinal uses are made a specialty by this 
 firm. 
 
 Besides the companies mentioned there ate several individual enter- 
 prises in wine-making in and about Hammondsport. 
 
 Aldrich's Box Factory, located at Cold Spring, manufactures cham- 
 pagne cases, and also does planing and sawing, and prepares lumber 
 for building purposes. This factory was built by Rudolphus Aldrichin 
 
 1868, where the business of manufacturing bed-steads was carried on 
 for several years and until the factory was converted to its present use 
 by the proprietor, Alonzo Aldrich. 
 
 The Cold Spring Woolen Mill was built by Robert B. Craig in March, 
 
 1869. It is run by water-power and is known as a " one set" mill, 
 containing three looms and all the machinery necessary for finishing 
 and dressing cloth. It is now owned by F. O. Craig and operated 
 under his supervision as a custom mill. The carding, spinning, weav- 
 ing and cloth-dressing done at this mill is equal to that done in the 
 larger mills of New England, and the plain andjfancy all-wool cassi- 
 meres produced here are inferior to none in quality and durability. 
 
 Brundage 's saw— mill and grape-box factory was built for a saw-mill, 
 by J. W Taggert, about 1855. In 1885 the manufacture of grape 
 picking boxes was begun. From six to twelve thousand boxes are 
 manufactured annually. 
 
 Campbell & Smith's Planing, Matching, Feed-mill and Grape 
 Basket Factory is located at the corner of Water and Lake streets, Ham- 
 mondsport. It is furnished with a twelve horse-power engine, and has 
 a capacity for planing 12,000 feet in ten hours. Turning and match- 
 ing are also done here, and the most improved grape baskets are manu- 
 factured. 
 
 Physicians. — Dr. Moses T. Babcock is a native of Washington 
 count}', X. Y., born April 30, 1825. About 1829 his father, Oliver Bab- 
 cock, settled in this county in what is now Reading, Schuyler county, 
 but subsequently removed to Yates county. Dr. Babcock was reared 
 
540 TOWN OF URBANA. 
 
 on a farm, attended district school until he was sixteen, was a student 
 at Franklin Academy, Prattsburgh, and taught school several years in 
 Steuben and adjoining counties. He studied medicine with Dr. P. K. 
 Stoddard of Prattsburgh, and during the same time learned dentistry. 
 He received his degree from Geneva Medical College in 1852. He has 
 subsequently attended post-graduate courses at Buffalo. He estab- 
 lished an office in Hammondsport in 1854-55, where he continued in 
 practice until the fall of 1862, when he was appointed assistant surgeon 
 of the 141st Regt., N. Y. Vols., which position he held until the 
 close of the war, when he resumed his practice in Hammondsport. 
 He has been a member of the Steuben County Medical Society for many 
 years, and has served as president of that organization. He is also a 
 member of the State Medical Society. 
 
 Dr. Oliver H. Babcock was born in Reading, Steuben — now Schuyler 
 — county, August 17, 1834. The following fall his parents removed to 
 Yates county, near Branchport, where the subject of this notice lived 
 until 1857. He attended Franklin Academy at Prattsburgh, read medi- 
 cine with his brother, Dr. M. T. Babcock, and graduated from the 
 University of Buffalo in 1861. He has since practiced in Hammonds- 
 port in partnership with his brother. Dr. Babcock has been a promi- 
 nent and active member of the Masonic fraternity since 1863. 
 
 Dr. Philo L. Alden was born in the town of Howard, August 27, 
 1856. He received his education there and at Alfred University. He 
 spent a few years on the road as commercial traveler for a Buffalo 
 house, studied medicine with Drs. Nichols and Burlison, of Pulteuey, 
 and graduated from the Buffalo Medical College in 18S7. For two 
 years and a half he practiced in Wayne, and in October. 1889, located 
 in Hammondsport. In 1885 he married Emma, youngest daughter of 
 Dr. L. M. Nichols of Pulteney. 
 
 Dr. John T. Horton was born in Howard, June 25, 1S58. He was 
 educated there and at Alfred University. Studied medicine with Dr. 
 W. E. Hathaway, of Hornellsville, entered the Cleveland, Ohio, Med- 
 ical College and graduated in 1884. He began practice in Hammonds- 
 port. 
 
 North Urbana (P. O.) is located on the east line of the town of 
 Urbana, contiguous to Wayne township, and is distant from Ham- 
 mondsport three miles. There are two churches (Bapt. and M. E.), 
 two blacksmith shops and about half a dozen dwellings. Mail is re- 
 ceived daily by stage from Dundee to Hammondsport and return. 
 
TOWN OF WAYLAND. 541 
 
 WAYLAND* was formed from Cohocton and Dansville, April 12, 
 1848. In 1854 a portion of the township was taken off to form 
 the town of Fremont. It is the most northwestern town upon 
 the north border of Steuben county, and is bounded north by Living- 
 ston county, on the east by Cohocton, on the south by Fremont and 
 Dansville, and on the west by Dansville, and North Dansville, in 
 Livingston county. The surface of the town is an upland, rolling in 
 the north, and moderately hilly in the south, its highest summits being 
 from sixteen to eighteen hundred feet above tide. Loon Lake and Mud 
 Lake are situated in a valley in the southern part of the town. The 
 outlet of the former is subterranean for half a mile, and when it again 
 appears on the surface is of sufficient size to form a valuable mill stream. 
 In the north part of the town the soil is gravel and muck, and in the 
 south a shaly loam. Valuable beds of marl are found here. The 
 population in 1890 was 2,318. 
 
 Early Settlement. — How fast the history that men make slips off the 
 solid basis of fact on to the sand of conjecture is illustrated when one at- 
 tempts a record of even three-quarters of a century in this enlightened 
 country and age. The history of the common people lives mostly in 
 the memories of the actors themselves, and the mellowness of sun -set 
 light frequently robs the mind of the colors of the morning rays, or the 
 noon-day glare ; and thus the first settler becomes a question for dis- 
 pute ; the place of settlement an uncertainty ; and the time of his ad- 
 vent a matter of doubt. 
 
 r 
 
 Sometime, about the year 1806, the first white families came within 
 the present borders of the town of Wayland, and, with a daring worthy 
 of an ancient God, began to attack and conquer Nature in her strong- 
 hold. The Bowles and Miller families were, in all probability, the first 
 settlers, and with but little difference in the dates of their settlements. 
 The nucleus formed by their pioneer houses gathered together 
 quite a neighborhood on the eastern extremity of the town : a tavern 
 and a blacksmith shop — the first requisites of civilization — were built, 
 and a post-office established. 
 
 Near the site of the present village, and not long following, the van 
 of that branch of the army of emigration that had turned southward 
 from the old state road, journeying through Springwater, crossed the town 
 and county line, and proudly augmented its straggling log houses and 
 tavern with the first school-house in the town, situated near Mr. W.H. 
 Hull's late residence. 
 
 A few years later the homes of the Patchin and Hess families, with 
 their neighbors, formed the village of the town at Patchinville. The 
 ubiquitous tavern, long celebrated for its dancing parties, the regular 
 
 'Prepared by C. M. Jervis, of Wayland. 
 
542 TOWN OF WAYLAND. 
 
 stopping place for the stage coach on the southern tier route from El- 
 mira to Buffalo, and where its relays of horses were stationed ; a black- 
 smith shop, and a store with a post-office, and later a grist-mill, made 
 it quite an important place in the eyes of the townspeople. 
 
 Westward on the stage line, after passing over the corduroy road, 
 (portions of which are 3 r et to be seen) and near the residences of Mr. 
 Valentine Kausch and Mrs. L,ouisa Bill, was what was known as the 
 Begole post-office, with its attendant tavern and dwellings. 
 
 And later yet, "Ben" Perkins' house and saw-mill, with those of 
 his assistants and neighbors, came to be known as Perkinsville. 
 
 Such was, in general terms, the arrangement of the population be- 
 fore the town of Wayland was established. 
 
 On the last day of the seventy-first session of the state legislature — 
 April 1 2th, 1847 — the bill was passed that constructed the town of 
 Wayland out of portions of the existing towns of Dansville and Cohoc- 
 ton. Mr. Myron M. Patchin ami Mr. John Hess may fairly be consid- 
 ered the ' ' fathers ' ' of the town . Convinced of its desirabilit}- and 
 benefit, they labored diligentty in causing the necessary surveys to be 
 made, providing maps and facts in its support, and through the as- 
 sistance of Mr. Alex. H. Stevens, then member of assembly from what 
 at that time constituted the third district of Steuben, and which in- 
 cluded the proposed town, the matter was presented to and carried 
 through the legislature. There was no marked opposition to the bill, 
 except as a delay was caused by the fact that the name first selected for 
 the new town was already in such use within the borders of the state. 
 Word was sent Mr. Patchin to that effect, and requesting another selec- 
 tion. While he and Mr. Hess were discussing a substitute, Mr. 
 Patchin chanced to hum a favorite tune called " Wayland," from 
 that suggestion the name was taken for the town, and not in honor of 
 the eminent Dr. Wayland, as so generally supposed ; it being musical 
 rather than biographical. 
 
 The prospect of a railroad through the eastern portion of the town 
 foretold the days of the stage coach and the prestige of Patchinville. 
 Through the efforts of Mr. James G. Bennett, a young man recently 
 removed to the present village, and who was afterward to be succes- 
 sively and repeatedly honored by nearly all the elective offices in the 
 gift of his townsmen, as well as twice a member of the state legislature, 
 the Patchinville and Begole post-offices were consolidated in the spring 
 of 1848, into the " Wayland Depot " office, of which Mr. Hess was the 
 first postmaster. In 1884 the word "depot" was dropped. 
 
 The building of the Erie railroad determined finally the location of 
 the village and assisted in its growth. The nearest station to Dans- 
 ville, all the traffic from that enterprising village passed through Way- 
 
TOWN OF WAYLAXD. 543 
 
 land ; and the old stage-coach, usually loaded to the uttermost, with its 
 four horses and " Captain " McHenry in charge, is vividly remembered 
 by the older citizens — the four horses reduced to one, and the old coach 
 exchanged for a " buck-board ' ' made its last trip over this historic 
 route on July 20th, 1889. 
 
 The traveling public were cared for at the hotel, that under the pro- 
 prietorship of Mr. Josiah Gray gained a reputation for cordial hospital- 
 ity and good stewardship , which has clung to the corner unimpaired by 
 the fire that destroyed the old building, and continues to make it, un- 
 der the efficient care of Mr. Otto F. Leider, one of the favorite stop- 
 ping places of the transient public in this part of the state. 
 
 The land throughout the town began to be taken up by an influx of 
 pioneer settlers, and following the line of the Erie railroad, or the Erie 
 and old Genesee Valley canals and branching off at Dansvillei many 
 German emigrants, in search of the El Dorado that had led them across 
 the ocean, found homes here. And many of those whose entire capi- 
 tal on their arrival consisted in their strength to do and their will to be, 
 have come to take rank with the most substantial citizens of the pres- 
 ent, among whom maybe mentioned Mr. Martin Kimmel, Mr. Stephen 
 Brick, Mr. John Schrader and Mr. Aaron Gross. 
 
 Agriculture is the industry of the town, potatoes being the leading 
 crop. Messrs. Capron & Fowler having the reputation of handling a 
 larger amount than an}' other concern outside of the port of New York 
 in the state. To the energy and liberality of these estimable gentle- 
 men the town and village are in a large measure indebted for their 
 prosperity. For twenty-five years they have handled a large propor- 
 tion of the produce of this and the adjoining towns, securing to the 
 farmers on the average a higher ratio of prices; finding an outlet some- 
 where when the market seemed glutted; helping to tide over years of 
 leanness, and making those of fatness most profitable. 
 
 Twice has the town suffered a temporary set-back to its progress. 
 A band of men, really less evil than the reputation they gained for 
 themselves would indicate, but less discreet in their utterances than 
 their maturer judgment sanctions, formed themselves into a " Liberal 
 League." As it is possible to analyze the motive at the present time, 
 it was, in its inception, a revolt against the inflexible decrees of human 
 creeds, rather than an attack on religion itself; but there is no question 
 that many of the minds, which thus broke loose from their time-honored 
 beliefs, did not possess the necessary balance to carry themselves through 
 the argument, and became mere scoffers. Such an element exerted a 
 bad influence on the town and smirched its reputation among its neigh- 
 bors. It was, however, a challenge to renewed Christian endeavor, and 
 it is scarcely claiming too much to say that the Liberal League was one 
 
544 TOWN OF WAYLAND. 
 
 of the main instigating causes that, during the pastorate of the Rev. 
 John R. Cathin, led to a notable revival and the re-building of the 
 Methodist church. 
 
 The destruction of almost the entire business portion of the village 
 by fire, in the summer of 1883, seemed the death blow to its prosperity. 
 The public spirit and enterprise, however, of such men as Mr. George 
 Nold, Mr. Walter Bryant and others, soou replaced the framed build- 
 ings with handsome brick structures, and turned the calamity into a 
 blessing. 
 
 In addition to those already incidentally referred to, should be men- 
 tioned the names of Dr. N. N. St. John, for many }'ears president of 
 the village corporation, a man of much native force of character, 
 whose ability in his profession has borne his fame far beyond its natu- 
 ral local limits, and a microscopist of no ordinary reputation. Dr. 
 Cameron Patchin and his father whose professional records and extend- 
 ed landed interests have made them natural leaders in the progress of 
 the town ; Mr. George E. Whiteman, for two terms member of the 
 state assembly ; Mr. A. L- Morley and Mr. J. W. Secor, who as mer- 
 chants for many years have become most thoroughly identified with all 
 the material interests of the town; Mr. W. W. Clark, whose ability 
 and integrity as a lawyer, and whose exceptional forensic powers have 
 reflected much credit upon the town of his home, and which his rising 
 political fortunes promise to augment; and Mr. Jacob Werdein, re- 
 cently deceased, whose polished manner, extended education and ex- 
 ceeding readiness to lend a helping hand made him an invaluabls 
 friend and leader among his German compatriots. 
 
 The growth of the town has kept pace with that of other farming 
 communities, and has been more than usuall}' substantial. The national 
 characteristics of the German element has implanted a spirit of earnest 
 labor and honest thrift upon its social organization that offers a foun- 
 dation of rock for the Yankee enterprise that will surety ' ' boom ' ' the 
 town in the near future. 
 
 The village is incorporated under the general state law. It contains 
 about eight hundred inhabitants, three churches, a free academy with 
 unequalled advantages, two weekly newspapers, four doctors, two law- 
 yers, a banking-house, three hotels and fourteen stores in various lines 
 of business. Its location ma}- fairly be termed strategic. It is forty- 
 seven miles distant from Rochester, eighty-four from Buffalo and sixty- 
 two from Elmira, with the advantages of competing lines of railroads 
 to each of these centres ; and with a railroad direct to Olean and the 
 coal and lumber and oil district of Northern Pennsylvania, its facilities 
 for shipping by direct routes (Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 
 Lackawanna and Southwestern, Hornellsville and Lackawanna and 
 
TOWN OF WAYLAND. 545 
 
 New York, Lake Erie and Western) to any part of the state or country- 
 are unexcelled. Situated just on the height of land that divides the 
 tributaries of Lake Ontario from those of the Chesapeake, it is free 
 from all dangers of freshets or ' ' wash-outs , ' ' and is a natural starting 
 point and terminus. Its elevation affords it superior advantages in 
 purity of air, and relieves it from the dangers of poor drainage and 
 miasma ; the death-rate from diseases originating in these causes being 
 insignificant. Within easy distance of all the business centres of 
 Western New York, it is yet sufficiently remote from each to enable it 
 to boast of a "home trade." The shipping point for most of the pro- 
 duce raised within a radius often miles, it commands a large territory, 
 and taken all in all affords inducements to manufacturing and business 
 enterprise that cannot long go unchallenged. 
 
 ADDITIONAL NOTES. 
 
 Biographical. — Walter Patchin, was born in Norwalk, Conn, July 24, 
 1764. He served in the army during the latter part of the revolution- 
 ary war. When a boy his father moved to Balston, Saratoga county. 
 Walter Patchin settled in Onondaga county in 1804, and in 18 15 took 
 up land at Patchinsville where he made a clearing and built a log 
 house about twenty rods north of the residence of the late Myron M . 
 Patchin. His first wife was Susan Sprague, by whom he had two chil- 
 dren : a daughter, Loranie, and Dr. Warren Patchin. His second wife 
 was Sarah Pierson, whom he married June 19, 1790. Their children, 
 born as follows, were Betsey, June 22, 1792 ; Susanna, March 26, 1794; 
 Paul, January 12, 1796; Edward A., August 7, 1797; Fannie M.,

 1802 ; Electa, September 30, 1804; Myron M., October 4, 1806 ; Sarah, 
 November 7, 1808; Edward W., April 17, 1810. He died March 20, 
 1S54, and his wife June 5, 1858. 
 
 Myron M. Patchin was born in Onondaga county, N. Y., October 4, 
 1806. In 1 81 5 he came to this town and has since resided here. He 
 has been extensively engaged in farming, and is the oldest resident of 
 the town. Mr. Patchin has held various offices of honor and trust, 
 among which we may mention that of associate justice of Steuben county, 
 which he held for twenty consecutive years, and that of local magis- 
 trate or justice. He married Rozella Parmenter. 
 
 Dr. Warren Patchin, son of Walter and Susan (Sprague) Patchin, 
 was born January 31, 1784, and came to this town from Onondaga 
 county in 18 17. He settled at Patchinsville, on the Marlette farm, and 
 was the pioneer physician of this section, having graduated at Fairfield 
 Seminary in the early days of that institution. Returning from pro- 
 fessional visits and being overtaken often by darkness, he frequently 
 would spend a night in the woods beside his horse, not daring to pro-

 ceed for fear of losing his way, so dense was the forest. Of his chil- 
 dren that arrived at maturity, were Warren, Jabez, Harriet, Ira, Cam- 
 eron, and Minerva. Dr. Patchin died February 12, 1872. 
 
 Dennis Hess was born in Warren, Herkimer county; and after resid- 
 ing for a time in Onondaga county, came to this town about 18 18, lo- 
 cating in the vicinity of Patchinsville. His wife was Catherine Powers, 
 whose parents were killed by the Indians in the Mohawk valley. The 
 father was killed while on an errand for the garrison, and the mother 
 who had left the house to feed the swine was attacked'by two Indians 
 who attempted to carry her to the woods. She clung to the palings of 
 a fence and called for help, when one of the Indians with his tomahawk 
 severed her hands. 
 
 Thomas Abrams came from Camillus, Onondaga count y to this town 
 in 1 8 1 8 . His first settlement was on the Dwight Wells farm in the 
 town of Cohocton, where he remained about three years, then moved to 
 Patchinsville. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Dennis Hess, by 
 whom he had nine children, six of whom are living, viz.: Almond J., 
 Ellen M., Thomas, Lauretta, wife of Dr. Carpenter of North Cohocton, 
 Truman E., and Sophia J. 
 
 Levi Rosenkrans, from New Jersey, moved with his father to Owego, 
 thence to Hammondsport in 1831, and five 3 r ears later to this town, 
 locating where his son Hamilton S. now lives. His wife was Nancy 
 J., daughter of Stephen Leach, an early settler, who located on Mud 
 Creek, near Monterey, in 1816. The Leaches were from Windham,

 Schools. — The Wayland Union Graded School is one of the best con- 
 ducted and most promising of the more advanced educational institu- 
 tions of the count}-. Under the management of Professor Rlryland E. 
 Salisbury and three very able assistants, it is rapidly advancing to a 
 position which will include it among the regents schools. A class in 
 Latin has already been started preparatory to taking in regents' work.

 Jacob Morsch about 1857. The mill has been greatly improved by 
 the present proprietors, T. M. Fowler and Son, who have put in a full 
 set of rolls and all the modern machinery and have converted it into a 
 steam power mill. 
 
 Patchinville Roller Process Mill w -as built in 1890 by John P. Morsch 
 on the site of the old Patchin mill. It is furnished with a full set of 
 rolls, has one run of stone, a buckwheat mill and all the most improved 
 machinery for the manufacture of flour, corn-meal, feed and buckwheat 
 flour. It is a water-power mill exclusively, and has a capacity for 
 grinding thirty barrels a day. 
 
 Perkinsville is a post^hamlet situated a little west of the centre of 
 the town of Wa)4and, and is a station on the D. L. & W., and the 
 Rochester, Hornellsville and Lackawanna railroads. It contains two 
 German churches (R. C. and Lutheran) two schools, one public and 
 one parochial, five hotels, two blacksmith and wagon repair shops, a 
 grist-mill, one hardware store, one drug store, three general stores and 
 about forty dwellings. The inhabitants are principally German. 
 
 WAYNE* township is situated upon Lake Keuka on the east border 
 of the county. It was formed as Fredericktown, March 18, 
 1 796, and its name changed to Wayne, in honor of Gen. Anthony 
 Wayne, on April 6, 1808. Reading was taken off in 1806, Orange in 
 1813, and Barrington and Tyrone in 1822. Reading and Orange have 
 since been added to Schuyler county, and Barrington and Tyrone to 
 Yates county. A part of the township of Wayne was annexed to Ty- 
 rone, April 17, 1S54. The surface of the town is a rolling upland from 
 four to five hundred feet high, forming a plateau of rich and well culti- 
 vated farms, and descending abruptly to the lake, on the west and north. 
 The northern end of the town along the lake shore being opposite the 
 highlands of Pulteney.and sheltered by them from the northwest and 
 west winds, is particularly adapted to fruit, and contains some of the 
 finest vineyards in the grape-growing section of the county. The soil 
 is a slaty and gravelly loam, resting upon a sub-soil of hard-pan. Lake 
 Waneta, lying upon the east border, is a beautiful sheet of clear water, 
 three miles in length by half a mile in width. Latterly, it has been 
 demonstrated that the town in the vicinity of this lake is as well adapted

 to the culture of grapes as that portion along Lake Keuka. In some 
 seasons the fruit has ripened a week earlier at Lake Waneta. 
 
 The population of the town of Wayne in 1890, was 902. 
 
 Early Settlement. — The first settlement in this town was made in 1791 
 by Zephaniah Hoff, Henry Mapes, Widow Jennings and Solomon Wix- 
 son. Enos, Joseph and James Silsbee, Abraham Hendricks, Joshua 
 Smith, John Holdridge, Elijah Reynolds and Ephraim Tyler were also 
 among the pioneers. 
 
 Ephraim Sanford, who had been a soldier in the revolution, came 
 from Luzerne count}', Pa., and settled in 1793. within the present boun- 
 daries of Wayne. He bought of Jacob Hallett of the city ofXew York, 
 nearly two thousand acres of land in and around this town, for four 
 hundred and sixty-six pounds sterling, in the year 1793. A portion of 
 the land he afterward sold for eighteen pence an acre. He first settled 
 on the farm where his grandson, Russell Sandford, now lives. Wolves 
 and bears at that early day were a source of frequent annoyance. He 
 immediately gave his attention to clearing laud, and as the settlement 
 grew in numbers he became also a pioneer worker in the religious 
 cause. He was an earnest member of the Baptist ministry, doing his 
 work always from the consciousness of duty, and never accepting any 
 pay for his services. He was identified with the building of the old 
 Baptist church on Salter corners in 1794, which at that time belonged 
 to the Chemung Association.* 
 
 In 1802 he prospected in Allegan}- count}', and in 1S04 he moved 
 his family there, and settled in the town of Oramel. He held at his 
 house the first religious meeting in the town. His daughter, Betsey, 
 was the first white child born in the town of Oramel. He afterward re- 
 turned with his family to his former place of settlement, in the town of 
 Wayne, where he died in the eighty-ninth year of his age. 
 
 Enos Silsbee was born in 1765, in the state of Pennsylvania. In 
 1794 he came with his wife and children, John, James and Deborah, 
 settled, made the first clearing, and erected the first building on the 
 farm near the Hunter school-house. He toiled early and late to clear 
 his farm. He kept the first public house in the town of Wayne. He 
 built the first ashery, which he ran for a number of years. Farming, 
 however, was his principal vocation. He died on the farm he settled, 
 in 1830. John Silsbee, his son, settled on the Samuel Bailey farm, 
 and there built and ran the first saw-mill in the town of Wayne. James 
 Silsbee, the son of Enos, in company with Fitch, ran the first store in 
 Wayne, near the Hunter school-house. He built the first tannery, and 
 
 *The Chemung Association was constituted in 1796. It was composed of five 
 small churches, among which was the church at " Fredericktown,'' or the above 
 church, founded in 1794.

 ran the first grist-mill by horse-power. Joshua, the son of John Sils- 
 bee, was one of the most noted comedians of his age. He was the first 
 to introduce the Yankee character on the stage, in Philadelphia, and 
 acquired the sobriquet of " Yankee Silsbee." 
 
 There were others who settled here previous to 1800, as we learn 
 from General McClure's narrative. Colonel Williamson, agent for the 
 Pulteney estate, expended a great deal of money in improving a num- 
 ber of farms, and erecting a number of buildings upon them, which 
 gave employment to man}' hands. McClure had opened a store in 
 Bath, and these hands were his best customers, paying up their ac- 
 counts every three months by orders upon Williamson. 
 
 Among the farms thus improved were the Haverling, Brundage and 
 Faulkner farms, north of Bath, where large framed barns were built and 
 the farms settled with tenants. The scheme was a failure. Orders 
 came from England to Williamson to stop such improvements and 
 shortly after Colonel Williamson resigned his agency, and after his de- 
 parture the farms were almos'. hopelessly overrun with oak brush. 
 Those tenants and laborers got into McClure's debt about $4,000, and 
 in one night the whole of them departed for Canada. "They were a 
 sad set of unprincipled scamps," McClure says. "They were a part of 
 ' that sprinkling of Yankees that came to make money.' There was 
 not a foreigner nor a Virginian, nor a Marylander among them. They 
 uwe a part of the first settlers of the town of Wayne." 
 
 Anthony Swarthout came from Seneca county and settled near Keuka 
 in 1806. He made a clearing and built a log house and a log barn. 
 He lost eighteen sheep in one night by wolves. There was a village of 
 Indian wigwams on the lake just below Mr. Swarthout's house. His 
 relations with the Indians were always friendly, and he often joined 
 them in their hunting and fishing sports. He died on the farm he set- 
 tled. 
 
 Abraham Henaiick was the first settler at Keuka, on about one hun- 
 dred acres of land. He was succeeded by Jabez Hopkins, who kept 
 the first hotel at Keuka, in a log and framed building. He also kept 
 the first store at Keuka. Mr. Hopkins died in the town of Bath. 
 
 The next man to locate at Keuka was Aaron Olmsted, a blacksmith, 
 who used to manufacture axes and scythes, running his sledge-hammer 
 by horse power. He built the second warehouse at Keuka, and was 
 also an inn-keeper. 
 
 Thomas Bennett and Parker were the first occupants on the Goble 
 farm, just below Keuka. They became somewhat notorious in coun- 
 terfeiting the metallic currency of their day. Bennett was arrested and 
 sent to state prison. After serving five years he was pardoned and died 
 within one year thereafter. Parker escaped the officers in pursuit by

 swimming his horse across the lake at Three-Mile-Point. John Goble 
 afterward made a permanent settlement upon the same place.

 Henry Houck, a native of Germany, married Polly Bell, a woman of 
 English descent, in New York city, and settled in this town in an early 
 day. He made the first clearing and built the first house on the Jo- 
 seph Rote farm. He died in 1828. 
 
 Isaac Northrup came from Duchess county in 18 14, locating at Crys- 
 tal Springs, now in Yates county. He married Priscilla Hazelton, by 
 whom he had six children : Finnetta, Eli, Zilla, Charles, Oren and 
 Hiram. 
 
 Edward Baker was one of the early settlers in the town of Wayne, 
 having come there from Putnam county in 1809. He settled on the 
 farm recently owned by Oren Baker, in that part of Wayne which was 
 annexed to Schuyler county. His wife was Anna Sunderland by whom 
 he had four children as follows : Hiram, Almon, Eliza and Oren. 
 Hiram, who was a magistrate in Wayne twenty-eight years, married 
 Finetta, daughter of Isaac Northrup, of Wayne. The children born 
 to them were Isaac N., Frances and Mary. Isaac N., married Alice 
 Noble. Children : Edward, Wellington and Wesley. 
 
 Israel R. Wood, was born in Warwick, Orange county, N. Y., April 
 27, 1 79 1. He moved into this town in 1815 and cleared the farm now 
 occupied by his son Israel, upon which, on his arrival there was not a 
 tree cut. He married Anna Fleet, daughter of Abraham Fleet, an early 
 settler on Mud Lake. Mr. Wood died in 1S68. 
 
 Joseph Bailey, a soldier of the revolution, came from Orange county, 
 and settled in Wayne on the Henry Houck farm in 1799. His title 
 proving defective, he then settled on the Cornelius Bailey farm, which 
 he cleared and improved. Being romote from grist-mills, he burned a 
 hole in the top of a pine stump, and made a Samp-mill, in which he 
 ground corn for the use of his family. His meat consisted of deer, 
 man}- of which he caught in the lake after the dogs had run them in. 
 John S. Bailey, son of the above, settled and cleared the Grove Spring 
 farm. 
 
 George Hunter was a prominent citizen, with decided traits of char- 
 acter. At the election in 1840, being a conservative, he declined to 
 cast his votes with Whigs and Democrats, but finally deposited it in a 
 box made for the especial purpose of receiving it. He was supervisor 
 of the town, and always interested in public affairs. His wife was 
 Deborah Silsbee. Mr. Hunter died in 1845. 
 
 Solomon Wixson, as before stated, came here in 1791. He built the

 first house on the banks of Lake Waneta, and lived and died on the 
 farm he cleared and settled. 
 
 John Earnest, an early blacksmith, settled on the William O. Bailey- 
 farm in 1 8 17. He made axes for which people came thirty miles. In 
 1819 he moved to Avoca. He subsequently returned to this town, where 
 he died at the age of eighty -five years. 
 
 The Stubbs family were among the early settlers of the town. 
 
 Simeon Sackett was an early settler. He died with a disease called 
 by the early settlers "the cold plague." 
 
 John Teeple made the first clearing in the south part of the town in 
 the year 1800. He was the first surveyor in the town, and he also 
 built and ran a distillery. Belief in witchcraft was at one time quite 
 prevalent, and it was believed that his daughter Polly was bewitched. 
 An image was formed of dough, made of flour and the blood of the 
 person bewitched, and shot with a silver bullet; believing that they 
 would thereby kill the witch, whom they thought to be a Mrs. Slcoum. 
 
 Gen. William Kernan, an Irishman by birth, and a Roman Catholic, 
 moved into Steuben county about the year 1800, and settled in the town

 ferred on him, from time to time, many important offices. He was the 
 father of Hon. Francis Kernan, of Utica, ex-United States senator. 
 
 John Bradburn Mitchell was born in Kingston, Somersetshire Eng- 
 land, in 1772. He was the son of Joseph and Mary (Dampier) Mitch-

 with his family to Wayne. He had a family of eight children. 
 
 John Bradburn Mitchell, Jr., was born in New York city May 13, 
 1802. He resided with his father after the arrival of the family in this 
 county, and was engaged in farming and in the various enterprises the 
 latter was engaged in, until 1825-26, except a short time spent in the 
 store of John R. Gansevoort, at Bath. Shortly after this he began the 
 mercantile business in Wayne, increasing his business from year to year 
 until he established a branch store at Bradford, where be bought wheat 
 and other produce which he shipped in arks to Baltimore. He built 
 and established the second store that was erected in Watkins, with Mi- 
 chael Willour, manager. He also established a foundry, saw-mill, 
 ashery, two blacksmith shops, a wagon-shop, a cabinet shop, and built 
 quite a number of tenement houses at Wayne. He built a commodious 
 ware-house on Lake Keuka, and owned a number of canal boats on 
 which he made large shipments of lumber and grain to New York city 
 by way of the Erie canal, and sent large droves of cattle to the New

 York and Philadelphia markets. Mr. Mitchell, in 185 1, met with bus- 
 iness reverses, and in the summer of that year was obliged to submit to 
 the galling necessity of seeing his property, which he had been twenty- 
 five years in accumulating, sacrificed under the sheriff's hammer. He

 in the lumber business. In 1852 he moved to Horuellsville and opened 
 a banking office; soon after, he with others organized the Bank of Hor- 
 nellsville. In January, 1857, the firm of Samuel Hallett & Co. was 
 formed, consisting of Samuel Hallett, F. M. McDowell, X. M. Crane 
 and G. W. McDowell, for the purpose of transacting a general banking 
 and negotiating business, and located in New York city. Their finan- 
 cial circular was quoted extensively, both in this country and in Eu- 
 rope. The house earnestly supported the government in 1861, and 
 subscribed largely to its first loans. In 1S63 a new firm, retaining the 
 same name, was organized, and in connection with Gen. John C. Fre- 
 mont, bought the controlling interest of the Leavenworth, Pawnee and 
 Western Railroad Company, one of the initial lines of the Union Pacific, 
 and changed its name to the Union Pacific, Eastern Division. Mr. 
 Hallett took entire charge of the work in Kansas, and pushed it with 
 great vigor. Difficulties arising, General Fremont retired from the 
 enterprise and Mr. Hallett continued the work in his own name. In 
 the face of almost insurmountable difficulties he completed the first 
 section, and issued cards of invitation for a grand opening, when, on 
 July 27, 1864, he was assassinated in the streets of Wyandotte, Kan., 
 by a discharged engineer. He is buried at his home in Wayne.

 moral worth in the community in which they lived. 
 
 Lyman Aulls, son of Ephraim and Lydia (Webster) Aulls, was born 
 in this town December 4, 1847. He was brought up on a farm, edu- 
 cated in the common schools and at Hammondsport Academy. For 
 several years he was extensively engaged in manufacturing and ship- 
 ping lumber, in partnership with his brother, Frank Aulls, of Brad- 
 ford. In politics Mr. Aulls is a pronounced Republican, ever alive to 
 the interests of his party, and a power in its councils. He has been re- 
 peatedly called to occupy official positions of trust and honor in his 
 town. Besides several minor offices he has held the office of justice of 
 the peace six years, and has also been associate judge of the county 
 court. For six consecutive years he has been elected to the board of 
 supervisors — three times without opposition — which is a tribute to his 
 personal popularity and the esteem in which he is held by iris towns- 
 men. He was twice elected chairman of the board of supervisors, of 
 which body he made an impartial and efficient presiding officer. In 
 the years 1888 and 1889 he was president of the Steuben County Agri- 
 cultural Society, and has been vice-president of the same organization for 
 eight years.

TOWN OF WAYNE. 559 
 
 ler county, in the town of Tyrone. It contains three churches — Pro- 
 testant Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal and Baptist — a school, two 
 hotels, three general stores, two feed-mills, a saw-mill and basket fac- 
 tory, three blacksmith shops, and two wagon-shops. 
 
 Keuka post-office is located on Lake Keuka in the northern part of 
 the town of Wayne. During navigation mail is received daily from 
 Penn Yan and Hammondsport by boat, and through the winter by stage 
 from the same points. The settlement contains a store, school, small 
 hotel and about thirty dwellings, besides several cottages owned by 
 non-residents. 
 
 Early Items. — The first birth in the town of Wayne, was that of Eliza- 
 beth Wixson, November 6, 1793. The first marriage was that of Eph- 
 raim Sanford Jr. , and Julia Hoff. Nathaniel Frisbie taught the first 
 school in 1797. James Silsbee built the first grist-mill. It consisted of 
 two cylindrical stones lying horizontal, and revolving towards each 
 other. It was run by horse power. The first school-house was a log 
 building, and stood on the Salter corners. William Brewer, an early 
 shoemaker of the town, purchased the wife of one Joseph Wedge, giv- 
 ing Wedge a pair of boots in exchange. Wedge continued to live with 
 the Brewer woman until he died. Fitch and Silsbee were the first 
 merchants. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 Wayne Baptist Church. — This church, as we have elsewhere shown, 
 was constituted as early as 1794, and Rev. Ephraim Sanford was prob- 
 ably the first regular pastor, and continued in that relation with the 
 church, most of the time until 1823. It also appears that an Elder 
 Eggleston, of Bath, was invited to meet with the brethren when he 
 could. Elder John Goff is also said to have administered the 
 ordinances of the church from 1804 to 1807, when an Elder Grif- 
 fith was appointed. In 1808 the membership numbered eighty-one. 
 This church first belonged to the Chemung Association, but we find 
 that in 181 1, it belonged to the Cayuga Association, which met 
 at Aurelius. In 18 14 the church belonged to the Ontario Association. 
 In 1818, the Steuben Association was instituted. In this organization, 
 the Wayne church was the most leading and efficient member, having 
 at that time a church building and one hundred and five members. 
 
 Presbyterian Church. — This church was organized December 21, 1809, 
 by Rev. John Eindsley, acting as a missionary under the general as- 
 sembly. It was received under the care of the Presbytery of Geneva, 
 September 21, 18 14, and was transferred to the Presbytery of Bath on 
 the organization of that body. For several years after its organization 
 it was in a very low state. Public services were intermitted and the 
 church seemed verging on dissolution. February 14, 1821, Rev. Joseph

 Crawford was ordained and installed pastor of this church and the 
 church at Starkey.to divide his labors between them. At the expiration 
 of two years his relation with the Starkey church was dissolved, and his 
 whole time devoted to the church of Wayne, till April 29, 1839, when 
 he was dismissed from his pastoral charge. On January 19, 1830, the 
 Wayne and Tyrone societies united. In 1831 this association was dis- 
 solved, and the society of Wa} - newas again organized, on November 5, 
 1 83 1. In 1837, a church building was erected on the present site of 
 the Episcopal church. The society held meetings there with more or 
 less regularity, until 1869, when they transferred the house and lot to 
 the Episcopal society. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church. — This society was organized February 28, 
 1837. Previous to organization meetings were held in the school -house 
 and at the Baptist church at North Urbana. About 1839 the present 
 site was purchased of Ebenezer Brundage, and the present building 
 erected thereon. Horace Tomlinson was class-leader up to the time of 
 his death in 1844. In 1872 the church was repaired at a cost of $1 ,200. 
 
 St. John's Episcopal Church. — About 1869 the Presbyterian church 
 property was transferred to the Episcopal society. The church was or- 
 ganized March 25, 1872, as St. John's church, Rev. William Atwell, 
 missionary, presiding at the meeting. J. B. Mitchell and Jonathan 
 Wood, wardens; George P. Ford, John Grace, F. M. McDowell, An- 
 drew Wood, John Stanhope, Ira P. Wood and Jonas Wheeler, vestry- 
 men. The church was consecrated September 2, 1875, by Bishop 
 Coxe. Rev. J. W. Pigot succeeded Rev. Mr. Atwell in the rectorship 
 of this church. The present rector is Rev. Mr. Warner, of Bradford. 
 
 WEST UNION is situated in the southwest corner of the county. It 
 was formed from Greenwood, April 25, 1845. The petition 
 that was circulated for the erection of this town, petitioned for 
 the formation of a town to be called Green; but it was referred back to 
 the petitioners with the information that there was already a township 
 of that name in this state, in Chenango county. They then changed it 
 to Union, which was also objectionable for the same reason, there being 
 a town of that name in Broome county. The word West was then pre- 
 fixed, and the bill was passed. 
 
 The surface of the town of West Union is a broken and hilly upland, 
 and its highest summits are from two thousand to two thousand, four 
 hundred feet above tide-water. Bennett's creek is the principal stream, 
 which flows north through the town near its centre. The election for 
 the first officers in this town was held at the house of John Hauber, on 
 the present site of Rexville village, May 6, 1845. The first ballot box

 was a sugar bucket with a slot cut in the cover. This is now in the 
 possession of Sherman Hauver. David Sherman was elected super- 
 visor, and Moses Forbes town clerk. The population of West Union 
 in 1S90 was 1 , 159. 
 
 Early Settlement. — Jonathan and John Mattason and David Davis 
 came from the Cowanesque valley, entering the town from the south, 
 and settled on the Plaisted place, about a quarter of a mile west of the 
 present Troupsburgh line, on land which overlooks the towns of Troups- 
 burgh, Woodhull and Tuscarora, and the Cowanesque and Tioga val- 
 leys. The tax-roll shows them to have been here as early as 1821. Abram 
 Olmsted opened the first clearing in the valley, on land now occupied 
 by a part of the village of Rexville, in 1822. 
 
 Ezekial and William Berger, the latter unmarried, were primarily 
 from Xew Jersey, but moved into this section from Delaware county. 
 They settled on the John Hauber farm in 1823. They had previously 
 settled in Troupsburgh. In this town they lived in a house with 
 old Mr. Bray and wife. Mr. Bray died in 1826. Henry Young settled 
 at the West Union corners, and Adam Young located near him in 1824. 
 Vincent Compton and his sons William and Vincent, settled on a part 
 of the A. C. Barney farm. William Compton and Jerry Ingley located 
 in that part of the town previous to 1830, and also James Linderman, 
 who subsequently moved to Ohio. Ephraim and William Young settled 
 herein 1828, and their father, Henry Young located on an adjoining lot. 
 They were from Danby, Tompkins county. Daniel Hamilton, David 
 Baker, Stephen Boyd and a Mr. Reed also settled in the neighborhood 
 of "big spring" then called "the village." 
 
 John Shehan, who settled on the highlands in 1840, was joined the 
 following year by Dennis Malone, on the Whitesville road. These men 
 w-ere joined by Luke Fox, on the west. A Mr. Bigelow settled in the 
 narrow valley at the outlet of the swamp on Kyder creek, known as the 
 "pine sapling lot," in 1838, and Mr. Howard took the place lower 
 down, which included the sapling. Abel Mattason settled half a mile 
 below in 1841 . The ' ' pine sapling ' ' was a single pine tree of gigantic 
 proportions, standing by itself in the open valley below the swamp, and 
 since the earliest settlement was a prominent landmark. The tree was 
 cut down in 1875, and measured nine feet across the stump. Rising 
 in a single stem to the height of twenty feet, it divided into seven dif- 
 ferent trunks, which rose in a group to the height of one hundred and 
 ninety feet from the ground. Seven thousand feet of lumber and forty 
 thousand shingles were made from its trunk. Moses Forbes was an 
 early settler in the vicinity of the pine sapling. He was town clerk 
 
 until 1 85 1. 
 
 Alvin Chapin was an early settler in the southwest part of the town,

 and had a large clearing on the hill south of the south branch of Kyder 
 creek as early as 1S42. As early as 1841 Horatio Seymour, afterward 
 governor of New York, made Mr. Chapin's little log cabin his stopping 
 place for the night while passing through the country. 
 
 Abraham Olmsted was born in Delaware county near the head-waters 
 of the Delaware river in 1795. He came to Troupsburgh in 18 19, and

 by whom he had eleven children, Betsey; Maria; John; Malachi; Caro- 
 line; Sally A.; Joseph: Samantha: Jacob; Ellen, and Permelia. Mr. 
 Hauber was one of the pioneers of the town. His son, John Hauber 
 resides on a farm adjoining the one cleared by him. We were shown 
 here the ballot box used at the first town meeting, an ordinary sugar 
 box with a slot cut in the cover for receiving the ballots. Although in 
 the enjoyment of good health, he retired from active pursuits , but still 
 lives upon the farm which the labor of so man}- years of his youth and 
 manhood were required to bring to its present fruitful state.

 unprovided with many of the necessaries of life. Frequently, he was com-

 riage Mr. Barne3 r became a resident of West Union, where he engaged 
 in farming. He is, and since his residence here ever has been, one of 
 the most prominent, active and public spirited men of the town. A re- 
 publican in politics, he has always zealously labored for the principles 
 of his part}-, and been foremost in activity for the advancement of the 
 party's cause in this section. During the war he was untiring in his 
 efforts to secure recruits for thelirmy, and. though not liable to duty 
 persoualry, on aceount of physical disability, he furnished a representa- 
 tive at his own expense. This is the only instance of the kind we have 
 any account of in this part of the state, except the case of Judge John- 
 son, of Corning, who, in the same manner, showed his patriotism and 
 generosity. Mr. Barney has held the office of town clerk three years, 
 served nine years in the board of supervisors, of which he was elected 
 chairman in 1867 and 1869. In 187 1 he was elected to the assembly 
 over Judge Balcom b}' a majority of eleven hundred. For ten years he 
 has held the office of postmaster of West Union. He is the owner of 
 six hundred and twenty acres of farm and timber land, and is one of the 
 most thrifty and industrious farmers in the county. For thirty -three 
 years he has resided on his present location. He is a man of the strictest 
 integrity, uprightness and reliability in all the relations of life. 
 
 In thevicinity of Wileysville, Solomon, Harvey and Champion Steb- 
 bins were early settlers, also William Fisher. 
 
 Physicians. — Dr. Anthony Barney, though a resident of Allegan}- 
 county, was so well and favorably known to the people of this and 
 neighboring towns in Steuben in early days, that a brief notice of him 
 we believe to be apropos here. He was born at Bristol, Mass., Febru- 
 ary iS, 1801, and moved with his parents to Herkimer county in 1S05. 
 He received his education there, and studied medicine at the Fairfield 
 Medical College. In March, 1S25, he removed to Independence, 
 where he practiced medicine for over fifty- three years. He was two 
 years supervisor of his town , and served as brigade surgeon under mili- 
 tary law. He died in August, 1886. 
 
 Dr. Uzal Van Fleet was born in the town of Jasper, November 23. 
 1S52. He was educated in the common schools, and at the Canisteo- 
 Academy. He studied medicine with Dr. Wallace of Jasper, entered, 
 the University Medical College, Xew York city, and graduated March 
 23, 1S83. The month following his graduation he located at Rexville., 
 where he has since continued to practice. He married Frankie Bess; 
 of Greenwood, by whom he has one daughter, Maude, born January 20. 
 1887. 
 
TOWN OF WEST UNION 567 
 
 Early Items. — Walter B., son of Abram Olmsted, was the first white 
 child born in West Union. He was born November 4, 1823, and after- 
 wards, when a young man, opened the first store in the town. Abram 
 Olmsted kept the first tavern in a log house which stood near the site 
 of the present hotel. John Hauber was the first man married in the 
 town, his marriage to Jane K. Hauber taking place May 18, 1832. 
 Jesse Jones and Dr. Cyrus B. Knight were proprietors of an early store 
 at Rexville. Uriah Stephens taught the first school. Previous to that 
 the children made their way a long distance over the hills into the town 
 of Troupsburgh, to attend school in summer. About 1830 " Master " 
 Stephens taught in a log house north of Rexville, where Mr. Conway 
 now lives. The first religious meetings were held at Abram Olmsted's. 
 Among the earU- preachers who " rode the circuit," were Revs. Mc- 
 Kinney and Buell, These men visited this place as early as 1830. 
 
 Irish families began to settle in here about 1840. The population of 
 the town is now largely made up of native born Irish, or people of 
 Irish descent. They are now among the most prosperous farmers and 
 substantial business men of the town. 
 
 Every household was a workshop or domestic manufactory in early 
 times, and every girl was taught to spin wool and tow on the great 
 wheel in summer, and in winter the little wheel was brought into use. 
 Upon this was spun the linen , from which was made the goods for 
 summer wear, table linen, towels, etc. Nearly every woman knew how 
 to weave plain cloth, but the fine linen goods for table cloths and the 
 woolen blankets or coverlets for beds, which were to be nicely figured, 
 had to go to the hands of the professional weaver. Some very nice ar- 
 ticles of this domestic spinning and weaving are yet to be seen here. 
 Mrs. Ann E. Dickey, daughter of Abram Olmsted, has worked at the 
 loom since she was seventeen years old, and produced some very fine 
 work when there was a demand for fine domestic weaving. It was cus- 
 tomary for tailors and shoemakers to "whip the cat," i. e., go about 
 from house to house plying their vocation as the settlers had need of 
 their services. Abram Olmsted, who was a shoemaker, used to go to 
 the farther parts of the towns of Jasper and Woodhull to serve his cus- 
 tomers. Every farmer took his cow-hide or calf-skin to be tanned for 
 boots and shoes for himself and family. The shoemaker would cut his 
 own pegs, make wax for the linen thread which the farmer would fur- 
 nish; and frequently every member of the household, from the head 
 down, would be newly shod before the shoemaker would be permitted 
 to go. 
 
 Rexville, located in West Union, contains one church, (R. C), and 
 a Methodist chapel at Hauber's Corners, one public school building 
 and a church school, two general stores, one hardware store, one drug

 store, two blacksmith-shops, one wagon-shop, cheese -factory, hotel, 
 and about forty dwellings ; also a grist and saw-mill. A daify mail 
 from Canisteo by stage is received. 
 
 WileysvillE post-office was established about 1849. # John Wiley 
 was postmaster to the time of his death. The office was discontinued 
 for about one year, but re-established under the same name. 
 
 MANUFACTURES. 
 
 The Ridiey Grist and Saw- Mills were built by the present proprietor, 
 Mortimer Richey . The saw-mill, which is run by water-power, was built 
 in the winter of 1872-73, and has'the capacity of sawing 10,000 feet a 
 daj'. The grist-mill is run by steam and water-power, has two runs of 
 stone, and a six-roller feed-mill. 
 
 The Rexville Cheese Factory was built by McCormick & Moran in the 
 the year 1878. In the spring of 1884, just as the business of the sea- 
 son was about to open, it was destro3 T ed by fire. Mr. T. A. McCor- 
 mick, who had purchased the interest of his partner prior to this, set 
 about re-building, and within one week from the date of the fire the 
 new factory was erected and in operation. It is furnished with an en- 
 gine of twelve horse-power, and a sixteen horse-power boiler. The av- 
 erage amount of cheese manufactured the last few seasons is 200,000 
 pounds. Mr. McCormick has a cider-mill here, run b}" the same 
 power. 
 
 West Union Cheese Factory , was built in 1873, by Updike & Brown. It 
 is now owned by a stock company. There have been as many as sixteen 
 cheeses a day made here, but for the past few seasons has not run to 
 that extent. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church. — William Berger was the first class-leader, 
 and was succeeded at his death by Rev. Abram Olmsted in 1S32, who 
 retained the position until his death in 1870. The church was built 
 at an expense of $900. and dedicated in August, 1870. 
 
 St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church. — In 1845 the numerous Catholic 
 families that had settled in this and the neighboring towns of Green- 
 wood and Troupsburg came together and resolved to build a church. 
 Up to this time the religious wants of the people were attended to by 
 priests who came on horseback from Rochester. Among those were 
 Rev. Fathers Simon Sandrill, M. Murphy and Thomas McEvoy. A 
 church was built in Greenwood on a site donated by Patrick Flinn. In 
 1 846 mass was offered for the first time in the Greenwood church by 
 Rev. Thomas McEvoy. Several priests supplied this charge until 1869, 
 when Rev. C. D. McMullen was appointed priest at Greenwood. On 
 assuming pastoral charge, one of his first official acts was the transfer 
 of parochial jurisdiction from Greenwood to the village of Rexville. 
 
TOWN OF WHEELER. 569 
 
 Alphonzo and J.J. McCormick donated a site, and a new church was 
 built in 1871-72. February 13, 1877, this church was burned. The 
 people immediately began the construction of another and on Septem- 
 ber 14, the same 3 r ear, the present church was dedicated. The present 
 membership is seven hundred and fifty. A school was organized in 
 1889 that has an average attendance of ninety-seven pupils. The 
 school building is one of the finest and most complete in its appoint- 
 ments in this section. It is 40x100 feet, two stories high, and besides 
 accommodations for the school it has a large hall for school exercises, 
 church entertainments and for the use of the general public. There are 
 three teachers engaged here. The building was erected and equipped 
 at a cost of $5,000. The value of the church property is $7,000. The 
 convent and annex school conducted by Sisters of Mercy, is valued at 
 $2,000. 
 
 WHEELER is an interior town l}'ing northeast of the centre of the 
 count}', and is bounded north by Prattsburgh, east by Urbana, 
 south by Bath and west by Avoca. It was formed from Bath 
 and Prattsburgh, February 25, 1S20, and was named in honor of Capt. 
 Silas Wheeler. A part of Avoca was taken off in 1843, and a part of 
 Urbana in 1839. Its surface is a high, rolling upland, broken by the 
 valleys of Five Mile and Ten Mile creeks. The soil is a shaly and 
 clayey loam, well adapted to grazing and tillage. The principal 
 streams are the creeks above named and some small lateral tributaries . 
 
 The population of the town of Wheeler in 1890 was 1,283. 
 
 Settlement. — The first permanent, setter in the town was Capt. Silas 
 Wheeler, in honor of whom the town was named. He was originally 
 from Rhode Island, but came to this town from Albany county, N. Y. 
 Captain Wheeler was a soldier of the revolution, and was with Bene- 
 dict Arnold in his perilous march through the forests of Maine, and at 
 the assault of Quebec stood near Montgomery when he fell. He was 
 taken prisoner by the British four times, twice by land and twice upon 
 the high seas as a roving privateersman. After his second capture upon 
 the coast of Great Britain he was confined in jail at Kinsale, Ireland, 
 and condemned to be hanged as a pirate. He escaped by the aid of a 
 friendly Irishman and of the distinguished orator and statesman, Henry 
 Grattan. Mr. Grattan procured for him a passport, protected him from 
 press-gangs and the police, and secured for him a passage to France, 
 whence he returned to America. 
 
 Captain Wheeler settled in this town— then the town of Bath— in 
 1799. He came in the spring and put in crops which he remained to 
 secure before he returned for his family. He came on with them the

 following winter, making the journey with ox teams and sleds. Reach- 
 ing Pleasant Valle3', the}- were obliged to halt on account of the great 
 depth of snow. They sojourned for some time with Judge Baker in 
 the valley, and again proceeded. When they reached Mitchellsville 
 hill they again became stalled. A road had previously been cut through 
 from this point to the place afterward settled by Uriel Chapin, above 
 the property selected by Captain Wheeler. Wheeler and Chapin took 
 up three hundred and fifty acres each. Captain Wheeler was a soldier 
 in the war of 1812 also. Nathan Rose and William Holmes, sons-in- 
 law of Captain Wheeler, accompanied him. Rose, in 1804 settled 
 upon that part of the O. F. Marshall farm formerly known as the Rose 
 farm, on the west side of the creek. 
 
 Holmes made the first clearing and settled upon the Ira P. Barnej* 
 farm in 1804. He was a shoemaker by trade, and died here. Mr. 
 Rose moved to Michigan in 1834. 
 
 Levi Gray, a son-in-law of Judge Baker, of Urbana, was the first set- 
 tler on the E. Hathaway farm, which was given his wife by her father. 
 Mr. Gray was the first postmaster of the town, receiving his appoint- 
 ment in 1816. " 
 
 Otto Frederick Marshall was born in Zeisar, Prussian Saxony, Au- 
 gust 14, 1 79 1. His father, who enjoyed the favor of Frederick the 
 Great, the sovereign of that country, upon the death of his patron, in 
 May, 1799, left his old home with his only sou, Otto F. , and took pas- 
 sage from Hamburgh for the new Republic . Landing in Boston they 
 took the stage for Xew York city, where they arrived in June. Here 
 the father opened a small store in the Bowery, in Chatham street. In 
 the spring of 180 1 he gathered his effects together and started for the 
 interior of the state, taking a sloop to Albany, the only mode of con- 
 veyance , where he procured transportation to Schenectad y . He. there pur- 
 chased a small boat, took aboard his baggage and supplies, and with his 
 son poled his rude craft up the Mohawk river to Utica, then a frontier 
 village. In 1805 a German farmer persuaded him to visit with him the 
 Genesee country. They came to Geneva and were advised by the 
 agent of the Pulteney estate there to apply at the office at Bath. Mar- 
 shall did so, and found a lot on Five Mile Creek, in Wheeler, which 
 suited him. Part of it was owned by Valentine Bear, a German, who 
 sold his right and improvements to Marshall. This place previous to 
 Bear's purchase of it, had been taken up and a chopping made here by 
 Peter Katner, who lived in Pleasant Valley. Katner became discour- 
 aged and sold to Bear, who lived in Bath. Mr. Marshall also purchased 
 an additional forty acres, and then returned to his home in Utica. In 
 1809 he disposed of his property in Utica. On February 22, 1810, he 
 settled on his lands in Wheeler. The father died on May 27, 1812. On

 February 16, 1S14, General Marshall married Miss Dolly Xeally. 
 There were born to them five children. General Marshall, in his auto- 
 biography thus states: ' ' By the gift of my fellow townsmen I have held 
 even- town office from pathmaster to supervisor, except constable and 
 collector. For several years I was justice of the peace, superintendent 
 of the poor for ten or twelve years ; was appointed postmaster in 1837." 
 He further states in his narrative that his first service in the state mili- 
 tia was as third corporal; and that he rose by regular gradation until 
 his appointment of Major-General of the 30th Division of New York 
 militia, June 29, 1S33. In 1846 he was elected a member of the legis- 
 lature from this county. General Marshall was a thoroughly skilled 
 agriculturist, his farm was a model and its productions were always 
 the best. He died January 10, 1891. 
 
 Seth Wheeler was born in Xew Ipswich, X. H., May 6, 1774. He 
 lived in the state of Maine about forty miles from Portland . In the 
 year 18 19 he came to this town and located on the Joseph Briggs farm 
 on Five Mile Creek. He married Polly Stone, born June 30, 1765. 
 Their children were Seth ; Mary.; Gratie ; Jonas ; Luther ; Celia ;

 phronia ; John ; and Gertrude, who died at the age of sixteen years. 
 His second wife was Elizabeth Waugh. Children: Abram ; Linda; 
 Luther jr.; Lettie and Joseph. Emily, daughter of Seth Wheeler, mar- 
 ried Hiram Clason. Their children are Wheeler ; Adaline and Lu- 
 ther, deceased : Monroe and Elizabeth. 
 
 Albertus Larrowe, of Huguenot descent, was born in New Jersey on 
 the night of the battle of Trenton, December 25, 1776, within sound 
 of the guns. In 1795 he started on foot and alone for Canada, but on 
 his arrival at Bath he was too lame and foot-sore to proceed further. 
 Being a mechanic he readily found employment and remained there, as- 
 sisting in building operations, working by scribe rule, as the custom 
 then was. He subsequently bought land in Reading, about three miles 
 north of Dundee, where he cleared fifty acres. This property he sold 
 and came back to the town of Bath — now Wheeler — where he pur- 
 chased about three hundred acres, and purchased two hundred acres at 
 Liberty where his son John until late years resided. He married Jean- 
 nette, daughter of Deacon William Aulls, of Pleasant "Valley. Their 
 children were: John; Eliza; Sarah A.; Catharine ; Minerva ; Jacob ; 
 James ; Albertus ; Mary J.; Jonathan ; Frank, and Charlotte, who died 
 January 12, 1858.

 took up the farm now occupied by his son, William Gardner. He was 
 united in marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Philip Myrtle. Eight 
 children were born to them, viz : Sarah ; Silas ; Rebecca ; Henry ; Addi- 
 son; Harriet, William and Thomas. William was born in this town 
 May 25, 1834, and has always residedhere, where he has held the local 
 offices from supervisor down. He married Emma Rice, by whom he 
 has three daughters : Delia ; Mittie and Sarah E. Thomas was born 
 in this town August 14, 1839, and has been principally engaged in lum- 
 bering and farming. His wife was Helen F. Clark by whom he has 
 two sons : Furman, born February 10, 18S5, and Marshall, born April 
 
 13. 1889. 
 
 George Renchan came from Albany county at an early day, and set- 
 tled on the north part of the J. H. Wheeler property, known as the 
 Renchan farm. He built a log house on the fiat west of the Pitts- 
 burgh road. Mr. Renchan died in the service in the war of 181 2, on 
 his way to the front. His son George was born in this town, and has 
 alwa} r s resided here, with the exception of about seven years spent in 
 Bath. He returned here in 1 S75. Lumbering and farming have been 
 his chief occupation, he having owned at one time fifteen hundred acres. 
 He married Sarah Rose, of this town. 
 
 Charles M. Renchan is a native of Wheeler, X. Y., where he was 
 born in 1853. He took a course of study at the Haverling Academy, 
 at Bath, and after passing the examinations he entered the Rochester 
 Business College, where he graduated in 1 87 1 . He read law with Rug- 
 gles & Little at Bath, but in 1872 was called to look after his father's 
 business. He soon became his partner under the firm name of George 
 Renchan & Son. This continued for six years, when he bought him 
 out. He continued the lumber business alone till 1882, when he formed 
 a co-partnership with W. W. Allen, of Bath, which continued until 
 February, 1S90. Mr. Renchan 's principal lumber and planing-mills 
 are at Wheeler, and are said to be second to none in the state, outside 
 Buffalo. He has paid to employees several hundred thousand dollars 
 since he went into business. He has never received a dollar, it is stated, 
 that he has not earned himself, but has fought his own wa3 T up. The 
 secret of the success seems to be that he alwa3 r s gives his personal at- 
 tention to his details of his business. Mr. Renchan was prominently 
 identified with the work of constructing the Prattsburgh and Kanona 
 Railroad, and was its first superintendent. 
 
 John Casper Overhiser came from Otsego count}- in 181 1, and set- 
 tled on West creek. He died in the town of Wheeler, May 13, 1 871, in

 Grattan H., son of Capt. Silas Wheeler, came to this town with his 
 father. Father and son lived together and added to their original pur- 
 chase from time to time. Between four and five thousand acres had 
 been purchased before the son's death. When this family settled in 
 Wheeler their nearest neighbor was Judge Baker, of Pleasant Valley. 
 Grattan H. married Fanny, daughter of Capt. Samuel Baker, of Cam- 
 eron. Their children were Sarah, Silas, and Grattan H. Jr. His sec- 
 ond wife was Eliza, daughter of Ephraim Aulls, by whom he had thir-

 lumbering and wool-growing in his native town until December 9, 1857, 
 when he moved to the town of Urbana, where he purchased one hun- 
 dred and ten acres, a large portion of which he set out to grapes, and 
 was among those who early embarked in that industry. He was the 
 projector of the first wine cellar, and formed the Pleasant Valley 
 Wine Company. He sold his interest in that company and erected the 
 Hammondsport Wine Company's cellars, at Hammondsport.

 Philip Myrtle was born in Bucks county, Pa., in 1773. He married 
 Rebecca Walters in 1795. The two years succeeding he lived on a lit- 
 tle island in the Susquehana river, named "Hill's Island." In 1797 
 he moved with his family to Bath. This proved a tedious and 
 laborious task, and required six weeks to reach Painted Post. He 
 moved up the river in a canoe, and at night hauled the craft and 
 turned it bottom up to shelter the family. At Painted Post he left the 
 family and proceeded to Bath on foot, with his axe and gun. On his 
 way he had the good fortune to*kill a large black bear. A portion of 
 the meat he sent back to his family by the mail carrier, and sold the 
 skin for five dollars. At Bath he engaged with John Wilson, sheriff 
 of the county, to manage a distillery, which he did for three years. He 
 bought forty acres of land in the town of Wheeler, where he built a log 
 house to which he moved his family in 1800. He paid for this land two 
 dollars and a half an acre. This was the nucleus about which clus- 
 tered the old Myrtle homestead of six hundred acres, mostly cleared, 
 and much of it in a high state of cultivation at the time of his death.

 Barney, who came in 1S00, and men named Fervol and Rifle. In the 
 north half of the town of Wheeler, formerly a part of Prattsburgh, lived 
 Mr. Larkin and George Raymond. Jenks Youngs and Thomas Cum- 
 ing settled in " Mutton Hollow." Philip Bemer was a resident there 
 in 1 8 10 ; William Rowlej - settled on the north part of the Reuchan farm; 
 Reuben Montgomery was an early settler in the south part of the town; 
 Henry Chichester came from Otsego county in 1 8 1 2 . 
 
 Early Items. — The first birth in the town was that of William, son of 
 Jonathan Barney, November 1, 1S01. John Beals kept the first tavern 
 on the site of Michael Jones' residence in 1820. Joseph Kinney, who 
 was killed by a runaway horse, was the first person buried in the 
 Wheeler cemetery. A school was taught at an early day in the Grat- 
 ten Wheeler district by Gratie, daughter of Seth Wheeler. This school 
 was held in a blacksmith shop while the log school house was building. 
 A framed school-house built on a part of the cemetery lot, was said to 
 be the first in the town. Uriel Chapin taught this school. The first 
 religious meetings were held in this school house. An early preacher 
 was a missionary named Hubbard ; also Rev. E. Eggleston, a Baptist 
 elder. Hon. Grattan H. Wheeler was a party to the first marriage. 
 Captain Wheeler built the first saw-mill in 1802, and George W. Tay- 
 lor the first grist-mill in 1803-04. The first store was kept by Cor- 
 nelius Younglove in 1835. 
 
 Wheeler post-hamlet is situated near the centre of the town of 
 Wheeler, and is a station on the Kanona & Prattsburgh railroad. It 
 contains a church (Union), a school, two general stores, two saw-mills, 
 and a feed-mill, a blacksmith shop, one hotel and about twenty dwell-

 E.), school, one store, two blacksmith shops, a wagon-shop and about 
 twenty dwellings. A tri -weekly mail from Bath is received. 
 
 Manufactures. 
 
 D. Z. Gibbs' Mill, originally a water mill, was built by Philip Myr- 
 tle. It has been almost entirely rebuilt on a larger scale and remodeled 
 by the present owner. A forty horse-power engine has been added, and 
 improved machinery for planing and matching, and manufacturing lath 
 and shingles. Its capacity for sawing is from 10,000 to 15,000 feet in 
 ten hours. 
 
 Reuchan 1 s Mill was built in 1852 by George Renchan and was run by 
 water power. Steam power was subsequently added, and in 1885 the 
 entire mill was remodeled and enlarged by CM. Renchan, who con- 
 ducted an extensive business in lumber. Machinery for planing and

 matching were added, and also a feed run. It has an engine of forty- 
 five horse-power and a capacity for sawing 20,000 feet a day. 
 
 WOODHUIfL is a central town upon the south border of the county, 
 bounded north by Cameron and Rathbone, east by Tuscarora, 
 south by the Pennsylvania line, and west by Troupsburgh and 
 Jasper. It was formed from the towns of Troupsburgh and Addison, 
 February 18, 1828. A portion of Rathbone was taken off in 1856. The 
 surface is a hilly upland; the sqjl a clayey and gravelly loam. The 
 principal stream is Tuscarora creek, which flows north of the centre of 
 the town in an easterly direction. 
 
 Early Settlement. — In 1804, Daniel Johnson, father of Asher John- 
 son, settled on the south branch, about a mile west of the present vil- 
 lage of Woodhull. Mr. Johnson was the first permanent settler within 
 the bounds of the present town, and was supervisor of the old town of 
 
 Troupsburgh, which then included a portion of Woodhull. Spears 
 
 and Merlin entered four hundred acres of land each, on the left 
 
 bank of the Tuscarora, and Mr. Merlin did some chopping on the west 
 end of the Col. Jeffrey Smith farm, in the north part of the village, but 
 abandoned it without making any settlement. In the spring of 1805, 
 Bethuel Tubbs, father of Joel and Zebulon Tubbs, came up the frozen 
 creek, upon the ice, and located a short distance above the point. Dur- 
 ing the same year, Squire Wilkes located on the hill, Caleb Colvin 
 coming about the same time and locating near him, and Josiah Stiles 
 settling on the Cook place. Stephen Dolson, Price Killpatrick, Amos 
 Riffle, Joshua Green, William Martin and Bethual Tubbs settled back, 
 on the west of the point. These settlers did little more than to build 
 themselves cabins and open communications with the outer world by 
 way of the creek. 
 
 During the year 1806 the settlement was augmented by the arrival of 
 Joshua Green, Asel Stiles and Henry Martin, who located half a mile 
 north of the creek, towards Jasper. Lekins Clark, Daniel Cortright, a 
 Mr. Minier and Mr. Layton settled up the south branch in the order 
 named. Several of the south branch families only remained while 
 game was plenty, making but little improvement. There were man3* 
 settlers of a later day, of whose settlement we can give no data, as in 
 most cases there are no representatives of them remaining here; and 
 much as we would like to give an extended notice of them, most of 
 whom, no doubt, were worthy people performing many deeds of gener- 
 osity and heroism, which must ever remain unwritten, we must con- 
 tent ourselves with recording only their names. Of these we may men- 
 tion Calvin Searl, Samuel Smith, who cleared the land upon which the

 cheese factor y stands, Seth Baxter and Pari} - Rummer. Hugh Boyd 
 who settled on Pulteney Hill in 1822, and others from the town of Pul- 
 tenej', settling south and southeast, gave the locality the name of Pulte- 
 ney Hill. Samuel Spring, who settled on the Clarendon Baldwin farm, 
 Seth Graves, a very early settler, who located on the Daniel Buck farm, 
 William Wooley settled on the Lattimer place, subsequently moved to 
 Jasper, and finally to Canada. He was here as early as 1818 or 1819. 
 Elijah Kent, who lived on the Jasper road before 18 18, and who, while 
 lumbering in the woods, received injuries from which he soon after 
 died. Robert Lanning, an early settler, Peter Pobasco, and Jerry Pike 
 built log houses on the road leading north from the village toward 
 Hedgesville. Also Samuel Rich and William Forkenter. Mr. Horn- 
 ecker and James Williams attempted a settlement to the north on what 
 is known as the Bebout place, but finding it too far back and water 
 scarce in the dry season, Mr. Williams moved down the Tuscarora 
 creek and made the first settlement between "Rowley's" and Woodhull 
 village, selling his place on the hill to Asel Bears in 1825. As early 
 as that year Andrew, son of Samuel Colegrove, bought here and made 
 shingles to run down the river, making them on his land and drawing 
 them north to the South branch, and thence down the Tuscarora to 
 
 Addison. Tilson, a soldier of the revolution was a settler near 
 
 the present site of the village. McBane cleared the present Will- 
 iam Olin farm. Daniel Granger, who kept a tavern at the J. A. Par- 
 ker place, was an early resident, as was also Thomas Wood. John 
 Stone, from Pulteney, settled on Pulteney Hill about 1826. 
 
 Matthias Marlatt, father of Christopher Marlatt, of this town, built a 
 log house in 1828 below the J. A. Parker place. Prominent among 
 the early settlers were General Ransom Rathbone, of the war of 1812, 
 and Joseph R. Pease, a town collector and able business man who 
 lived on the David Buck farm. The first settlement in the southern 
 part of the town was made in the beautiful little valley of Elk Creek,, 
 near the Tuscarora town line. Here, in 1827, John Brimmer built a 
 log cabin on the site of the residence of the lateAdolphus D. Harrison. 
 Daniel Christian came the next year, and made a clearing near the 
 Hurd place, half a mile further south. In 1832 Alonzo Foote came 
 into the valley. There were then but five or six families in this section 
 — Benedict Northrup, Herman Greenslate, James Aikins, Lewis Fen- 
 ton, Warren and Ransom Northrup — William Lewis being the last one 
 toward the state line. In the valley were Eli Terry and James Chris- 
 tian. It was impossible to get wagons up the road, and all travel was 
 done on sleds. Toward the centre of the town on the higher land, 
 there was no settlement previous to 1835, except the old Rozier mill, 
 until you reach the Pierce road.

 Isaac, June 20, 1833. He came to Woodhull on January 6, 1821, 
 and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by his grandson, Jent 
 C. Brown. Mr. Brown was an ingenious mechanic, making wheels for 
 spinning flax and wool, making chairs and other articles of furniture. 
 He was also the first carpenter in this section to work by square rule. 
 Previously all work had been done by ' 'scribe rule. ' ' The first framed 
 house in this town was built by him, and sided with plank, a portion 
 of which is still standing. Nails were then selling for a shilling a pound 
 and were not to be had nearer than Painted Post. So Mr. Brown 
 secured the plank with wooden pins. After planking a portion of it 
 and before any planks had been fitted about the eaves and gables, one 
 evening Mr. Brown took the older children with him to call on a neigh- 
 bor, leaving his wife and babe at home. During his absence Mrs. 
 Brown was startled to see a strange animal jump from the loft above, 
 upon the floor, go up to the cradle and look at the child. After 
 making a cursory survey of the room, the visitor bounded back to the 
 loft and out through an opening in the gable. After Mr. Brown's re- 
 turn she related the incident. Before the family retired for the night, a 
 weird cry was heard on the outside which satisfied them that the even- 
 ing visitor was a panther. 
 
 Previous to building his plank house, Mr. Brown lived in one built 
 of logs, with a stick chimney and a wooden mantle- tree. This took fire

 and the house and all its contents was burned. Mr. and Mrs. Brown 
 like many others of the early settlers, lived to see the wilderness in 
 which they suffered many hardships transformed to a fruitful country, 
 so rapid was the settlement and growth of the town. Mr. Brown died 
 May 15, 1872, and his wife January 30, 1869. 
 
 Sylvester G. Brown was born in Wapasening, Pa., Februa^ 3, 1816.

 houses in Woodhull village standing to-day, were built by him. In 
 the days of " general training " he was capatin of the state militia, and

 Woodhull Village contains two churches (Baptist and Methodist 
 Episcopal) a Union Free Academy, town hall, four blacksmith shops, 
 one wagon-shop, one harness-shop, two hotels, a printing office, from 
 which is issued the "Weekly Sentinel," one hardware store, one tin 
 shop, one furniture and undertaking establishment, two drug stores, 
 one meat-market, two groceries, three shoemaker shops, two cheese fac- 
 tories, one grist-mill, two saw-mills, one photograph gallery, one foun- 
 dry-, one confectionery and tobacco store, four general stores, two milli- 
 nery and fancy goods stores and about one hundred dwellings. 
 
 The first break on the site of this village is said to have been made 
 by Calvin Searles, a pettyfogger and justice of the peace. A building 
 12x16 feet which stood upon the Bona J. Brown place was put upon 
 runners and drawn by a yoke of cattle and set up near the present site 
 of the Warner block. About the same time Joseph Tubbs began to 
 clear a site for a tavern where the Woodhull House now stands. Levi, 
 son of Benjamin Tubbs, who was a carpenter and also a shoe-maker, 
 built the house now occupied by the widow Tucker. TheDavid Cory- 
 ell house and the Howard Williams house opposite, and the house 
 north of the latter were built by S. G. Brown about fifty years ago. 
 
588 TOWN OF WOODHULL. 
 
 Tallmadge and Judd built a slioe-shcp. The first blacksmith shop was 
 built by Lyman Rosier. Samuel Baldwin and Charles Bennett were in 
 business here at an early day. Ichabod Leach was a merchant, cattle 
 dealer and manufacturer of potash. Ira Smith who kept a store in the 
 Coryell house in 1836 is said to have been the first merchant. Among 
 the early settlers of Woodhull were Horace Baldwin and Penelope A. 
 Baldwin his wife, New England people, who, seeking to better their 
 condition by "going west," left their old New England homes, and 
 migrated as far as Woodhull, or "Newville," as the village was 
 sometimes called, and purchased the Ira Smith farm, just outside the 
 village. 
 
 A letter written by Mrs. P. A. Baldwin to her mother, Mrs. Joanna 
 Allen, North Kingston, Rhode Island, dated "Woodhull, Steuben 
 county, N. Yk," "January 14, 1841," gives some interesting informa- 
 tion as to the then condition of the village and locality. We quote the 
 following: 
 
 "You see by this letter that we are in a new place and a new section 
 (or rather so) of this state. Plenty of hemlock forests, and plenty 01 
 deer in the woods. However, new as it is we have purchased a farm 
 of about 90 acres, about half of it, the trees are felled or cut down. 
 There is a small dwelling-house and barn, also a fine young orchard 01 
 about 100 trees, all grafted, and what is better the location is very good 
 for this place. There is quite a village started here. There is now 
 two stores, two taverns and a number of mechanics in here, and about 
 a dozen dwelling-houses and very good families, too. There is no 
 house yet for public worship. There is preaching in the school-house 
 once in two weeks. Sometimes oftener. They are principally Baptists 
 and a few Presbyterians. I think in the course of another 3 r ear there 
 will be a meeting house built. The oldest house in the place was built 
 about sevea years ago. This land that has been bought comes very 
 near the centre of this small place or settlement. The land is of good 
 soil ; will produce two tons of hay to the acre with good management. 
 Good wheat is raised around here, and the first crop will pay for the clear- 
 ing, and the land is well watered. There is a good place for a tanner 
 and currier business. It is a good place for trade here, but it requires 
 some capital. There is a great deal done in lumbering ; a great por- 
 tion of it is rafted to Baltimore and other markets. Lumber is plenty 
 here. It won't cost as much to put up a house here as it would with 
 3 r ou, although stone and lime and brick are scarce articles in this sec- 
 tion. There is money made here in buying new lands for the sake of 
 the timber ; plenty of saw-mills around here. We are 25 miles from 
 Corning. The roads are very good out here, but the mail comes in 
 only once a week, every Thursday." 
 
 Over half a century has passed since this letter was written. What 
 changes have taken place since then. The writer of the letter and her 
 companion have long since passed away, and very few of the people 
 who resided in Woodhull fifty years ago, are now among the living. 
 
TOWN OF WOODHULL. 589 
 
 The village itself from a dozen dwellings has increased nearly twenty- 
 fold. The weekly mail would not now satisfy the demands of the peo- 
 ple, who receive it daily, besides telephone communication with all the 
 world. Churches and schools have been established, rapid progress 
 has been made in all directions, and the village of Woodhull to-day is 
 noted as being one of the most nourishing and active interior villages 
 in the state. 
 
 Hedgesville, is located in the extreme northern portion of the town 
 of Woodhull, on the Cameron town line. It contains one church, (M. 
 E.), a school, two general stores, two blacksmith shops, a planing mill 
 and about twenty -five dwellings. It receives a tri-weekly mail from 
 Rathboneville . 
 
 Hotels. — The Woodhull House was built by A. C. Hunter, in the 
 winter of 1 869-70, and occupies a site which has been used for hotel 
 purposes since Woodville village was formed. It is a large three story 
 framed structure, commodious, and well furished throughout. The pres- 
 ent proprietor, J. R. Lantz, has ably conducted the house for five years. 
 
 Hurd's Hotel. — Visitors to Woodhull will find at the above hotel all 
 the comforts of home. The house was opened for the reception of guests 
 in 1885. The building was formerly a block devoted to mercantile uses, 
 and was transformed into a convenient hostelry by Mr. Eugene Hurd, pro- 
 prietor. The house contains upwards of twenty rooms , a portion of which 
 are en sidle, and the furniture and accessories are new and first-class. 
 It is located on Main street at the junction of the Addison and Jasper 
 roads. 
 
 Schools. — During the year 1808 , a school-house was built of hewn 
 logs with large open fire-place, two miles up the creek, Abram Thomas 
 being the first teacher. A log school-house was built at Brady's Cor- 
 ners soon after 1825. Among the early teachers were Alfred Smith, 
 Ebenezer Gardner and Stephen Kent. About this time another school- 
 house was built a short distance south of the present village, and one in 
 the Perry district near Hedgesville, before 1830. 
 
 The Woodhull Union School has an average attendance of one hun- 
 dred and eighty pupils, and draws about $500 of the public money. 
 
 Manufactures. — At a very early day there was a distillery on the 
 farm of Bona J. Brown, which was run by Caleb Colvin and his two 
 sons, Christopher and Stephen. The first tannery in the town was 
 erected by Henry Baxter below the widow Stryker farm. Subsequently 
 others were erected here. 
 
 Chauncey P.. Hubbard had a mill below Hedgesville, near the Owen's 
 settlement, that was said to be the first saw-mill in this part of the 
 county. Later there were twenty-seven saw-mills from Addison to Jas- 
 per, on the Tuscarora and its branches. 
 
59° TOWX OF WOODHULL. 
 
 George Martin was one of the first settlers here, and built a grist-mill 
 at a very early da} r . The second grist-mill in the town was built by 
 Seth Baxter, nearly opposite the residence of Ward Brady, on the Tus- 
 carora creek. 
 
 Woodhull Grist and Saw-Mills were first built by James Baldwin in 
 1858, and were burned in 1882. The present mills were built by Tubbs 
 & Mosher in 1884. They are run by a fifty horse-power engine, has 
 three runs of stone, and make a specialty of wheat, buckwheat and feed 
 grinding. The capacity of the saw-mill is 10,000 feet. 
 
 Miller's Saw, Feed and Shingle Mill was built by B. J. Wilcox in 
 1886. It is run by steam-power, and has a capacity for sawing 12,000 
 shingles a day. 
 
 Everitt & Lamson's Saw, Planing and Feed-Mill was built by the 
 above firm in 1887. It is run by two steam engines of thirty horse- 
 power , and has a capacity for sawing 10,000 feet in ten hours, employ- 
 ing six men. This mill occupies the site of one built b}' L. H. Ev- 
 eritt and destroyed by fire in September, 1887. It is provided with 
 machinery for matching and for the manufacture of mouldings, scroll- 
 work, etc. This firm makes a specialty of hard- wood wainscoting, 
 siding and ceiling, and supply large quantities of the above products to 
 the market. 
 
 The Woodhull Cheese Factory was built by Shaut, and for the last 
 
 three years has been run very successfully by T. J. Carmady & Co., of 
 Cuba, N. Y. This firm has now a new factor y 30x60 feet, two stories, 
 with an addition 14x20 feet. Its capacity is twenty cheeses a day. 
 
 Churches. — On November 20, 1835, the First Baptist church of Wood- 
 hull was organized at the house of John Kent, now the residence 01 
 Ira Paul. There was no settled pastor until 1840, Deacon John Kent, 
 a licentiate, preaching when no one happened along to supply the pul- 
 pit. Rev. John Goff and Rev. Mr. Finch were earl3' preachers. Rev. 
 Thomas W. Colby was the first settled pastor. In June, 1849, seven- 
 teen members withdrew and formed themselves into an organization 
 called the Newville Church. In March, 1858, both churches disbanded 
 and united in the formation of a new church under the name of the 
 Union Baptist church of Woodhull. The present membership is about 
 one hundred and fifty, and the valuation of the church property $4,000. 
 The Jasper Baptist church is connected with this charge under the sup- 
 ervision of Rev. J. G. Mahoney. 
 
 Rev. James Griffith Mahoney was born in Toher Bane, county of 
 Kerry, Barony of Clan Morris, Parish of Killmoly, Ireland, on February 
 1 , 1839. He resided upon a farm until he sailed for America, where he 
 arrived in New York, June 23, 1859. For nineteen years he followed 
 the vocation of farming in Herkimer county. Mr. Mahoney was born

 and reared a Romanist and was well versed in matters pertaining to that 
 faith, priding himself on his ability to cope with those of Protestant be- 
 lief, in controversy. Ultimately he became converted to the Baptist 
 faith and subsequently began to preach locally. After a course in 
 Starkey Seminary he entered the Rochester Theological Seminary, from 
 which institution he graduated. He was licensed to preach on Novem- 
 ber 11, 1880, and after completing his course in theology was ordained 
 October 21, 1885. He has been pastor of the church at West Al- 
 mond and at Ischua, N. Y. He entered upon his duties as pastor of 
 the Baptist churches of Woodhull and Jasper in May 1889. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Church. — The early settlers held their first meet- 
 ings at the house of Bethuel Tubbs.long before any society was formed. 
 The first regular preacher was Rev. Mr. King, who traveled on horse- 
 back, making his circuit once in four week. In 1846 a church was 
 built at Woodhull, Alfred Smith donating the land and much of the 
 means. A second organization was formed at Hedgesville in 1848, and 
 in 1 86 1 a union church was built. The church at Woodhull has a 
 membership of about seventy-five. 
 
 Early Items. — The first physician known to visit the town was Dr. 
 Powers, from Beech's Island, Pa., who came to attend the Johnson fam- 
 ily in a fever epidemic. For many years the widow of Bethual Tubbs, 
 a mid-wife, attended thesick, many families never employing any other. 
 The first bridge across the Tuscarora at Woodhull was built by Asher 
 Johnson and Andrew Colegrove. The latter was a great hunter and 
 trapper. 
 
 Seth Graves was also a great deer hunter. He settled on the David 
 Buck farm as early as 1805. He often killed six and eight deer in a 
 day. His children used to appear at school clothed in buckskin gar- 
 ments, home-tanned bj' the Indian process. 
 
 The first birth recorded in the town was that of Polly, daughter of 
 Samuel Smith. The first couples married in the town were Levi Rice 
 and Cynthia Tubbs, Zebulon Tubbs and Sally Rice, and Abner Thomas 
 and Esther Tubbs. Abner Thomas taught the first school. The first 
 death was that of a daughter of Stephen Dolson. The first religious 
 meetings were held at the house of Daniel Johnson, a Rev. Mr. Jones 
 of Elmira, preaching. Subsequently, meetings were held in private 
 houses, and in school houses. Among the early preachers was John 
 Kent, a Baptist, who died in 1844. 
 
 John C Smith, who lived where the Rev. John Kent afterward lived, 
 
 — the place is now occupied by Ira Paul — arose very early one morning 
 
 to go hunting. Before he left the house his gun was accidentally 
 
 discharged, instantly killing his wife, who was still asleep in her bed. 
 
 The Colvin log house on the farm of Bona J. Brown, was built in

 TOWN OF WOODHULL. 
 
 1804. When pulled down in 1888, it was still in a good state of pre- 
 servation. Clark Brown built the first cart in the town, and it had not 
 an ounce of iron upon it, even the lynch-pin being of wood. After 
 felling a hard-maple, which was four feet through, Mr. Brown secured 
 the services of Parly Rummer to saw off two pieces six inches thick, 
 and from the centre Mr. Brown worked them down to the thickness of 
 about three inches. The box was made by morticing, and was secured 
 with wooden pins. With this cart Mr. Brown used to drive over a log 
 road, to Painted Post to mill, a distance of twenty-one miles.

 the above lines in Southwestern New York. 
 
 The business was established on Main street, in the City of Hornells- 
 ville, in March, 1886, and in May, 1888, removed to their present com- 
 modious quarters. Their store is filled with the finest make and best 
 quality of goods, which can be bought at prices that defy competition. 
 
 Their reputation for uprightness and fair dealing with the public is 
 established beyond question, and it is always a pleasure to them to show 
 their stock whether purchases are made or not. Call on them.

 The towns are alphabetically arranged at the end of the line, under the business classification. 
 The post-office address of each individual or firm follows after the name, except in cases where the 
 name of the post-office and the name of the township is the same. In the cities and villages the 
 name of the street is generally given and preceeds that of the post-office. The classification of far- 
 mers 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 indicates the number of acres owned or leased, by each. There are many 
 others who have kindly sustained us in our work, mechanics etc., whose business does not admit of 
 classification. These names may be found in the general list.

 Rulings and Information upon Postal Subjects. 
 
 Classification of Mail Matter and Rates of Postage.— Domestic mail matter— that is, mail matter 
 sent in the mails From some post-office within the United States to some other post-office within 
 the same — is divided into four classes, as follows : 
 
 First Class.— Written matter, namely, letters, postal-cards and all matter wholly or partly in writ- 
 ing, whether sealed or unsealed — except manuscript copy accompanying proof-sheets, or corrected 
 proof-sheets of the same All matter sealed or otherwise closed against inspection is also of the 
 first class. The rate of postage on matter of this class is as follows : On letters and other written 
 matter, and on sealed matter, or matter otherwise closed against inspection, two cents per ounce or 
 fraction thereof. 
 
 On postal-cards, one cent each, the price for which they are sold. On " drop letters," two cents 
 per ounce or fraction thereof when mailed at letter-carrier post-offices, and one cent for each ounce 
 or fraction thereof at offices where free delivery by carrier is not established. 
 
 Second Class.— Periodical publications, such as newspapers and other publications which are 
 issued at stated intervals, and as frequently as four times a year, which bear a date of issue, and 
 are numbered consecutively. To be entitled to entry in this class such publications must be origin- 
 ated and published for the^dissemination of information of a public character, or devoted to liter- 
 ature, the sciences, art, or some special industry, and must have a legitimate list of subscribers, 
 and must not be designed primarily for advertising purposes, or for free circulation, or circulation 
 at nominal rates. The rate of postage on second class matter when sent by the publisher thereof, 
 or from the office of publication, including sample copies, or when sent from a news agency to 
 actual subscribers thereto, or to other news agents, is one cent a pound or fraction thereof. 
 
 Third Class — Books, circulars, periodicals, and other matter wholly in print — not included in 
 second-class matter — proof-sheets, and manuscript copy accompanying the same. The rate of post- 
 age is one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. 
 
 Fourth Class. — Merchandise, namely, all matter not embraced in the first, second or third classes, 
 which is not in its form or nature liable to destroy, deface or otherwise damage the contents of 
 the mail-bag, or harm the person of any one engaged in the postal service, and not above theweight 
 provided by law. The rate of postage on this class is one cent an ounce or fraction thereof. The 
 postage on seeds, bulbs, roots, cuttings, scions and plants, is at the rate of one cent for each two 
 ounces or fractional part thereof. 
 
 Limit of Weight of Mail Matter.— No package weighing more than four pounds shall be received 
 for conveyance by mail, except single books weighing in excess of that amount. 
 
 On registered domestic matter of all classes, a fee often cents in addition to the regular postage 
 is required. 
 
 Undelivered letters and postal-cards can be resent to a new address without additional charge. 
 
 Senders may write their names on transient newspapers, books, or any package in either class, 
 preceded by the word " from." 
 
 It is unlawful to use stamps cut from stamped envelopes. 
 
 Stamped envelopes accidentally spoiled may be redeemed at the post-office where bought. 
 
 The rate of postage on first class matter to Canada and Mexico is the same as in the United 
 States. 
 
 The fees or charges, for domestic money-orders are as follows : For orders not exceeding $5, five 
 cents ; over $5 and not exceeding $10, eight cents ; over $10 and not exceeding $15, ten cents ; over 
 $15 and not exceeding $80, fifteen cents ; over $30 and not exceeding $40, twenty cents ; over $40 and 
 not exceeding $50, twenty-five cents ; over $50 and not exceediug $60, thirty cents ; over $60 and not 
 exceeding $70, thirty-five cents ; over $70 and not exceeding $80, forty cents ; over $80 and not ex- 
 ceeding $100, forty-five cents. 
 
 The maximum amount of a single order is $100, and no more than three domestic orders may be 
 issued in one day to the same remitter, in favor of the same payee, payable at the same office. A 
 money order may be endorsed once, but not oftener. The uniform fee for a postal-note is three 
 cents.
