Y. LEST WE FORGET FORASMUCH as one hundred years have elapsed since the founding of the First Presbyterian Church of Westfield, N. Y. , it seemed good and reasonable that a record should be made of the work performed by those who, amid the greatest privations, were not willing that the hardships of a rude pioneer life should ab- sorb their vitality, but took of their time, their strength and of their little money, to plant a church, erect a house of worship and carry forward a work which has endured to the present day and has increased in numbers and strength to this the end of the century. This book is in nowise a perfect history, but it is a tribute to those who can no longer speak person- ally to us, and who have made an indelible imprint on the face of this community. We stand with un- covered heads to do them honor. A few are mentioned in these pages, but the great number not mentioned personally, compose the army which achieved the victories over pov- erty, sickness, discomforts and distractions. It was the spiritual man prevailing. Our father's God! from out whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand. We thank Thee for the era done. And trust Thee for the opening one. — Whittier. EARLY HISTORY 1808-1894 THAT the history of the First Presbsrterian Church of Westfield, N. Y,, to the present date should be preserved, for those who shall constitute the society in later years, it becomes the work of the present members in this, the centennial anniversary, to prepare a record of these hundred years. Of its earliest history, the society has only a few records, stating the barest facts. Some papers and legal documents of value have been preserved by the descendants of Eber Stone. It has seemed most satisfactory that the follow- ing chapter, covering the first thirty-seven years, should be largely devoted to those families from whom came officers in the society, either laymen or clergymen. Others there were who were just as faithful in the discharge of duty to the church. As the membership roll is reviewed, those longest in our connection will recall the faithful service of many others who deserve a record on these pages. The first account to be found in print of religious services in Chautauqua County is taken from a his- tory of Erie Presbytery in which are extracts from the journal of Rev. Robert Patterson, The record reads: "Nov. 26, 1803, Saturday — Rode twenty miles to the house of James McMahan, living in a new settlement in the State of New York, situated about Chautauqua Creek that empties into Lake Erie." Again, under date, November 27, Sabbath [5] — "Preached at the home of widow McHenry, to fifteen grown persons and a greater number of chil- dren. Received one dollar." The first church organization in Chautauqua County was founded by Presbyterian settlers at Cross Roads in 1808 and was called the Chautauque Church. It was connected with the Presbytery of Erie and so continued to be until 1824 when it was transferred to Buffalo Presbytery. The forerunner, the John the Baptist of this church, Father John Spencer, a missionary sent out by the Congregationalists, labored frequently and effectively in this region. Rev. John Spencer, or Priest Spencer, as he was called by the people among whom he labored, had fought in the war of the Revolution. Later, having prepared himself for the ministry, he was sent as a missionary into the territory known as the "Holland Land Pur- chase." Early in 1807, he appeared among our settlers, dressed in Continental costume, knee and shoe buckles, short breeches and long stockings. Rev. Spencer, of warm heart and genial disposition, made himself a welcome guest at every fireside. A sharp twinkle of the eye accompanied his frequent witty rebukes. He once stopped in the middle of a sermon to reprove some noisy urchins, saying with his usual accent on the first and the last words, "Boys, you must be quiet or you'll wake up your parents." Riding all day through the cold and storms of winter, he would preach at evening to some neighborhood where a congregation of a doz- en or more might be summoned, not unfrequently, it was only a single household to whom the word was spoken. After years of such toil. Father Spencer settled in a pastorate at Sheridan, in this [6] county. Not far from us, in that village burying ground, is the grave of that good man who visited the people when as yet there was no organized church in this region. Holding up the hands of Father Spencer, was Amasa West, the first man on the ground as a teacher at the Cross Roads. Tradition says it was in his honor that the original name of the hamlet was changed to Westfield — for the truth of this the writer does not vouch. Authenticated history tells that this West was a zealous disciple of Christ, who often gathered in some private house those who would listen to Gospel truths. Later, he became a successful preacher. The following is found in the Session Book record of 1822: "The Rev. Amasa West preached in Alexander Wilson's house and administered the rite of baptism." For a better appreciation of what has already been written, and of the things that are to follow, let us go back in history to the time when this place was known as "the Cross Roads," a name given be- cause here where the stone monument now stands (at the intersection of Main and Gale Streets) the road to Chautauqua Lake, built by the French in 1753, crossed the main road, leading from the east to the Western Reserve, or New Connecticut. We fall upon a time, when, within the present lim- its of Chautauqua County there was not one or- ganized religious society, much less, was there a church building or a school house. There were, however, homes here established, where, morning and evening, from family altars were sent up the incense of prayer and praise to God. In the fall of 1807, a young preacher visited the district of the Holland Purchase — Rev. John Lind- [7] sey was sent at the expense of "The Woman's Mis- sionary Society." His preaching was effective and in the spring of 1808, on his return from Pennsyl- vania, he found the settlers ready to drop the axe, leave the plow, the distaff and spindle. From the country round about, in ox-carts, on horseback, or on foot came, on week days as well as on Sabbath days, for three successive weeks, whole families to listen to the exhortations and warnings of the min- ister. During "the protracted meeting" the Chautau- que Church was formed. For an account of its founding and decline, we quote from the first entry in the Westfield Church Session Book, dated Nov. 1818. "In the year 1808, a church is reported to have been formed in this place by the Rev. John Lindsey, under the name of the Chautauque Church, all records of which have been lost. It has been poorly and irregularly supplied with preach- ing. God having in a remarkable manner lately revived His work within its bounds, it was deemed expedient to examine into its state, and, if found to have a real existence, to correct and restore its dis- cipline. After several meetings and consultations with ministers it was decided to have a normal ex- istence." On the 7th of November, 1817, a session for the occasion was formed, consisting of Rev. Johnston Eaton, Rev. Phineas Camp, visiting clergymen, James Montgomery and Thomas Robinson. The following is a copy of their minutes : "Having en- deavored after much deliberation on the subject to correct its disorders in part and rebuild the Presby- terian Church in this place, we resolve to consider as united in church fellowship the following origi- [8] Elder James Montgomery Jonathan Cass nal members, they being previously examined: 'James Montgomery, Sarah Montgomery, Sarah McMahn, Eleanor Bell, Annie Andrews, Joseph Thayer, and Abagail Thayer.' " Then follows a list of those admitted on examination only. On Sab- bath following, Nov. lo, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered by Reverends Johnston Eaton and Phineas Camp when seven others were admitted, making the entire member- ship fifty-two. It is noted in passing, that Rev. Johnston Eaton was at this time pastor of a church at Fairview, Pa., where he died on June 17, 1846. That the subject of church reorganization had been agitated previous to the above date, Novem- ber 7, 1817, is manifest from the following, found among a file of papers left by one of the subscribed trustees: "We who are nominated to preside at a meeting legally appointed and holden at the school- house on the east side of the creek on Monday, the 23rd day of June, A. D. 1817, for the purpose of in- corporating into a religious society, do certify that James Montgomery, Eber Stone, Nathaniel Bird, David Higgins, William Riddle, and Jonathan Har- mon are elected to serve as trustees with Jonathan Cass as clerk of the society which shall be denomin- ated 'The First Presbyterian Society in the fourth town, fourteenth range, in the County of Chautau- qua.'

" A year passed from the time of the reorganiza- tion when as yet Elders who should act for the membership as directed by "the Presb3rterian faith" had not been chosen. On November 4th, 1818, the church, according to previous notice, held an elec- tion for the purpose of choosing Elders and making further regulations. After a sermon by Rev. Phin- eas Camp, James Montgomery, William Bandel and Eber Stone were elected Elders. It is recorded on July ist, 181 9, "By decision of Presbytery, this church now bears the name of 'The Westfield Church.' " During this period of the history, there are re- corded at its sittings beside those already mention- ed the names of John Fay, Ashael Woodruff, Med- ad Merill, Hiram Couch, David Beecher, Joel Brad- ley, later Josiah Jones, Silas Kidder, William Cow- den and C. J. J. IngersoU. In this same period, James Carlisle, William Bradley, Jonathan Taylor and Jonathan Harmon were chosen to act as dea- cons. Some of these men moved to distant states, with them went their families, and with regret all [10] Mrs. James Montgomery Elder William Bradley record of them is lost to our community. History is silent in regard to William Bandall, Thomas Robinson and Medad Merill. Ashael Woodruff early moved with his family to Marietta, Ohio. An inscription on a marble slab in our old burying ground reads : "Erected to the memory of Deacon David Beecher who died March i6, 1834" (in the early days it was customary to give the Elders the title of Deacon). Joel Bradley emigrated to Il- linois, William Cowden to Ohio, C. J. J. Ingersoll returned to his early home, Greenfield, Mass. After the death of his wife, Silas Kidder made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Adaline Wilson, at Rockford, 111. Josiah Jones, a man of exemplary life, died while serving in the Eldership and was buried with his kindred in our village cemetery. Here also his kindred in our village rest, except William Bradley, who died in Wisconsin at an ad- vanced age. To a granddaughter of James Montgomery, Mrs. Sarah Hall, of Chicago, we are indebted for facts in the life of the man who is truly the "father of this church." Mr. Montgomery was born in Mifflin County, Pa., in 1783. In 1803 he crossed the Al- leghanies and settled two miles west of the present village of Westfield. At the first election of town officers in 1S05, he was elected to the office of Town Clerk. The same year, at the age of twenty-one he married a niece of William Bell, Sarah Taylor, then sixteen years of age. She became indeed a helpmate to her husband. Together, they bravely endured the privations of "early settlers." This was the first marriage ceremony celebrated in the now limits of Chautauqua County. James Mont- gomery was one of the constituent members of the [11] Chautauque Church, a ruling elder, an office which he held in the reorganized church for the rest of his life, being the clerk of the session until January, 1839. He was justly regarded as its strongest pil- lar. Mrs, Montgomery was a member of the choir. She would mount her horse, and, with baby in lap would ride to Portland to attend the singing school. When there were no church or- dinances in the home church, Mr. and Mrs. Mont- gomery observed communion service at North East. A pastor, who knew this Elder well, said: "He stood by the church in all its changes and dangers. Neither the influence of minister or membership could turn him from his convictions of duty. He had also great ability to defend his posi- tions, both from his inherent firmness and logical powers. Of the eleven children born to this family, no child nor grandchild lives among us today. Elder Montgomery died in October, 1861. Until the year 1829 there was no town of West- field in this county. All the land on the east side of Chautauqua Creek belonged to Portland, that on the west to Ripley. For a few years after the set- tlement, store, tavern and post office standing on the west side promised that the business center was to be in the vicinity of the "cross roads" in the town of Ripley. Hence the early session entries are dated at Ripley. The year of James Montgomery's marriage brought to that part of Portland now known as Westfield a lad of twelve years, John Fay, who, at the age of twenty bought and settled upon the farm owned by the late Mr. Robert M. Hall. The land was heavily timbered, a clearing was made and a [12] Elder John Fay Elder Joel Bradley house built. This finished, Mr. Fay brought to the log house his young wife, Nancy McClintock, the daughter of Thomas McClintock, a pioneer of the county who then owned a large portion of the "east side" site of the village. Mr. Fay was an original member of the reorganized church in which, in 1832, he was chosen an elder. Only one farm lay between Mr. Fay's and Mr. Montgomery's. When later, the owner of this middle farm, Mr. Asa Hall, was chosen an Elder, the settlement was known as "Deaconville." Mr. Fay's was a deeply spiritual nature. From boyhood he had meditated on Bible truths. In him a living faith was ever manifest. Mrs. Fay died in 1 86 1. Not long after the family removed to Ful- ton, 111., where a son and a daughter still reside. Eber Stone with his wife, Betsy Atwater and their children, a daughter and six sons came in sleighs in the winter of 1814 from Homer, N. Y., to this village. Mr. Stone was among those most active in the reorganization of the church. He gave land for the location of the first meeting house, and when the time came to build a more commodious house of worship in a central location, Eber Stone, Daniel Northrup, John and Joel Brad- ley and Joseph Farnsworth gave mortgages in the sum of one thousand dollars each as security for the expense of building the first brick church which stood on the present site. Elarly elected to an Elder- ship, Mr. Stone gave not a little time in the dis- charge of the duties of the office. Though de- mands of family were large, he was ever ready to make sacrifices for the cause of Christ. Two sons were educated for the ministry. His home always held a door open for the itinerating minister. When [13] there was as yet no dedicated place of worship, services were frequently held in his house. Mrs. Stone did not accomplish the three score and ten years. But in the sixty years, there were spared from domestic duties hours for prayer and for labor for the Master in whose Service there was joy. In the early Sabbath morning of October 3, 1 84 1, Mrs. Stone was suddenly called to her rest in Heaven. Four years later the husband was laid beside his wife in our village cemetery. It may be said of him, "He was prominent in benevolence, forgetful of self in discharge of duty." In 1839, as has been said, Mr. Montgomery re- signed as clerk of the session and Elder Hiram Couch took the office, having already been a mem- ber of this body for ten years. Hereafter, to the end of this chapter, we find each report signed "H. Couch, clerk." A very few of our members will recall the genial smile and the pleasant greeting of Deacon Couch as he passed up and down our streets. Mrs. Couch was the daughter of Eber Stone. As a young woman, she took an active part in church work. In later years, she was oc- cupied with family cares, and, being somewhat of an invalid, was seldom able to meet with the peo- ple in worship. She found time for reading. She was especially interested in church history and was familiar with current events in the denomination. Mrs. Couch died February 17, 1880, at the home of her son, Rev. Walter V. Couch of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Jonathan Harmon, a member of the church at its reorganization as also a trustee, and later one of the deacons, was pre-eminently a student of the Bible, a scholar in knowledge of Holy Writ, Mrs. Mobelia Rumsey says : "I never went to my [14] Rev. Samuel G. Orton grandfather with questions in regard to Bible truths that he did not answer them to my satisfac- tion." He had an exceedingly tender conscience which held him to a strict observance of the law and the commandments. Mr. Harmon was born at Redding, Conn., November ig, 1775; came to Westfield in 18 17, where he lived to the advanced age of ninety years. He was the grandfather of the late Captain Harmon J. Bliss who led to the Civil War the first company from our town, and gave his life at the Battle of Chancellorsville. There have now been given sketches of the lay- men who as officers during the first forty years of this church were leaders in work which would ad- vance in this community a pure religion, suffering no heresy or cant among its members, dismissing by decrees, read from the pulpit on Sabbath days, those members who were negligent in the fulfill- ment of church vows. Severe to us may seem many of their judgments. They gave these in obedience to the instructions of the General Assembly. Many of these men were of Puritan ancestry. They brought tO' this Pres- byterian church the faith received from "the fath- ers," "Fearing and flattering none Such were they nurtured,such they lived and died." Phineas Camp, the first pastor of this church, the son of Phineas and Martha (Hall) Camp, was born in Durham County, N. Y., on February 18, 1785. He was graduated from Union College in 1812, then took a full theological course at Princeton. It was on the 8th day of September, 181 9, that Mr. Camp assumed his first charge, that of the West- [15] field church, Mr. Camp was a person of strong persuasive power and the church grew under his ministration. There were now fifty-six names on the roll. This pastorate lasted two and a half years. On account of ill health in his family, Mr. Camp asked for a dismission. A son and daughter, Dr. James Camp and Mrs. Irma Camp Hartley, now reside at Brainard, Minn. To the latter we are indebted for a sketch of Rev. Mr. Camp's life and the original call made out by this church. He was to the last greatly interested in educational work. He was a poet of no small merit, having written many h5niins and published a book called "Poems of the Mohawk Valley." During this time there was a steady, healthful growth of the church. Since the reorganization there had been at every communion, except one, additions to the membership. It was in 182 1 or 1822 that the first meeting house was built. Be- fore this time, people listened to preaching in a private house or in some more spacious barn where slab seats had been arranged, conveniences for warming, there were none. When June and the following days of summer and autumn came they worshipped in the groves, "God's first temples." After Rev. Mr. Camp's departure the society for more than two years, without a stated supply, was dependent on clergjnuen passing this way or on some one sent out by the Home Missionary So- ciety. There was great interest in the community, when, among these last, came Rev. Dr. Goodale, then under appointment to go as a missionary to Jerusalem. People, old and young, crowded the room to look upon and listen to the man who was [16] Rev. David D. Gregory to take the marvelous journey and stand upon the sacred hills of Palestine to proclaim the Gospel. On the last Sabbath of October, 1823, Rev. Isaac Oakes commenced preaching as a candidate for set- tlement. Before the end of five months a call was unanimously given and on the eleventh of August, 1824, he was installed as pastor. Rev. Mr. Oakes came to the church upon the completion of his theological course at Auburn Seminary. With him came his newly wedded wife, Clarissa. After a few years some land on North Portage Street, now owned by Mr. Herman Kent, better known as the old Buck homestead, was given by General Farnsworth to be used for a parsonage. The manse was planned and partly built when it was found that the young pastor's idea of size and finish was somewhat beyond the financial condition of the society. Grave differences arose. It was thought best, after consultations with, and the ad- vice of neighboring clerg3nnen, for Mr. Oaks to re- sign the pastorate. This occurred in 1830. The parsonage was sold and for a long time our min- isters provided their own or lived in hired houses. Mr. Oaks died at Nunda, N. Y., in 1876. The desire to know of the men and women who have deeply influenced this generation is in no sense an unimportant one. In the history of the church, perhaps, no minister was more persuasive in leading souls to Christ than was Rev. Samuel G. Orton, who in 183 1, came to Westfield to labor as an Evangelist. It is said his preaching at this time reached every society in this village. The internal order of many families was changed from neglect of Christ and the soul to prayer and praise. As has been told by the fathers, Mr. Orton's greatest [17] success was his power in prayer. His petitions were like those of a child to an endeared father. Speaking of his presence in the pulpit, Rev. D. D. Gregory says in a memorial sermon for Mr. Orton, preached before Buffalo Presbytery: "His color- less face bespoke a mind exhausted with fasting, with study, and talking with Christ, yet glowing with a faith that surmounts all obstacles." Six dif- ferent times, Father Orton, as he was tenderly cal- led, came to this community to conduct revival ser- vices. They may be traced by years in which there were large accessions to the church; namely, 1831- 37-38-41-45 and 66. In 1833 Rev. David D. Gregory, D. D., a broth- er-in-law of Mr. Orton, became the pastor of this church. He was a man of impressive appearance and genial manners. A former member writes: "Mr. Gregory is the first pastor in your church whom I distinctly remember. He was, as I re- member him, an able preacher; he represented the dignity of the ministerial office, an all-around ex- cellent pastor, one upon whose judgment the peo- ple could rely and one with tact in dealing with different sorts of people. Mrs. Gregory, whom he married in 1830, was a lady of much culture, pos- sessing a character of peculiar excellence. She was truly a co-worker with her husband." We may well consider the conditions existing at this time. "The Brick Church," for which Mr. James McClurg had generously given the land, was finished. The people were enjoying its comforts, for those times, it may be said, its elegance. There was a debt to be discharged, but, with one mind, all set to the work. Mr. Orton's labors resulted in a tl8] James McClurg, Doner of site of first Brick Church. spirit of harmony and much prevailing prayer. All things considered, these were prosperous years. The first tabulated report sent to Presbs^tery, dates from April i, 1832, to April i, 1833. It reads thus: "Members added on certificate, 15; dismissed by letter, 12; total now in communion, 124; bap- tisms, since last report : infants, 23 ; collections for missions, $73 ; for commissioners' fund, $8.33." The next annual report found on session record bears date of April, 1837, ^^^ reads as follows: "Addecl on confession, 57; by letter, 28; adults baptized, 14; infants, 27 ; total communicants, 303 ; contributions to missions, $126; education, $50; Bible cause, $23; Bethel, $20; commissioners' fund, $10." An event of much importance in this history oc- curred at this time. It marks the coming to this community, to this society, in the year 1837, of Mr. and Mrs. Sextus H. Hungerford. Seven years after their marriage they left their farm in Vernon, Oneida County. Traveling by private conveyance, prospecting along the way, they arrived at West- field, where they decided to locate. A paper to fol- low will tell of philanthropic and Christian work accomplished by Mr. Hungerford and his wife, Maria Skinner Hungerford. Having served this people for six years, Mr. Gregory resigned to accept a call to Binghamton, N. Y. Later, we find him the pastor of a church in Cincinnati, O., where Mrs. Gregory died. For a few months the society was served by Rev. A. G. Moss of Philadelphia, Pa. In February, 1840, the congregation gave "a call" to Rev. Timothy M. Hopkins of Canton, O., the salary offered being $650, payable semi-annual- [19] ly. "The call" was accepted. The new minister came, bringing no ordinary talent and devotion. His sermons were given without notes — in those days an unusual manner. He dealt a good deal in stories which aptly brought home the truth. For the prayer meeting Mr. Hopkins reserved some of his choicest thoughts. There are a few of our number who remember his dignified form and kind- ly face. Mrs. Hopkins soon made for herself a warm place in the hearts of the people. Pastor and wife were always welcome guests in the homes of their parishioners. The little ones of the church held in great regard the gold-headed cane which the minister always carried, much more the kindly greeting given as they met. Mrs. Hopkins gave of her time and talent to prosper the work of her hus- band. During the week a "select school" was taught; on Sunday, a Bible class. Recent letters have been received from the daughters, Frances and Emma, the one Mrs. Flinn, of Mentone, Calif.; the other, Mrs. Cartledge, of Redlands, Calif. They have kindly recollections of Westfield people and write of the affection their parents ever held for the Westfield church. Often had they heard their father say, "Mrs. Hopkins; we left home when we left Westfield." The new and rapidly growing west had attrac- tions for Mr. Hopkins. In August, 1845, he re- moved to Racine, Wis. He afterwards held charges in Geneva, N. Y., and other places in that vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins' last years were spent in Hannibal, Mo., where their daughters then resided. Mr. Hopkins died April 20, 1871, at the age of seventy. Mrs. Hopkins survived her hus- band only a few years, [20] Rev. Timothy M. Hopkins As in American history the Scotch-Irish have acted a part second to no other element, so their contribution to this church has been men and women of action. These Scotch-Irish came with church membership letters in their pockets. There were the Johnstons, the Cochranes, the Crosgroves, the Nixons, the Thompsons, and others. In 1 84 1, there came to Westfield and to the Pres- byterian society, a man who with his family, made a record such as not one in thousands has ability or inclination to make. We refer to Hon. George W. Patterson, his wife, son George W. Jr., and daugh- ter, Hannah Whiting, then six years old. As this family is better kown and its benefactions more extensive in another period of the church his- tory, it is ours only to call attention to the coming of Mr. Patterson, for many years an honored trus- tee in this church, a wise counselor and a punctual attendant upon its services. A member in this early period writes: "The Westfield church was in those days of Gregory, Hopkins and Tinker, the strongest in Buffalo Pres- bytery, outside of the City of Buffalo — strong in numbers, strong in influence." As the customs in the time of the old meeting house differed from those now practiced in our church, it may be of interest to notice some of these differences. Attention is called to the fact that the ministers, to the pastorate of Dr. Gregory, were engaged for one-half of the time. Some church in the vicinity or some unoccupied field was supplied during the other half. Much of the Sabbath was occupied in public wor- ship. Soon after 10 o'clock, the people began to assemble in the meeting house. The earliest to [21] make a stir on the streets were the lumber wagons with three or four seats scarcely accommodating father, mother, the children, and the hired help. No excuse, short of illness, for absence from church was accepted. From "Deaconville" came the Montgomerys, the Halls, the Fays. Farther to the west came the Pecks; nearer by, the Cros- groves, the Johnstons; from the hillside, the North- rups, the Durands and Deacon Jones' family; from the east side, the Cowdens, the Wrights, the Whip- pies and the Rumseys ; from the lake road, the Per- sons family, Stephen Macomber and the Bandalls. Our streets were then Main, North and South Portage, Clinton, Washington, Pearl and Water. These furnished the worshippers who walked to church. At half past ten the bell, as now, tolled the hour for beginning service. Long psalms or hymns were sung, long prayers — during which the congrega- tion stood were offered, and very long sermons were preached, they often occupied an hour, where- in the preacher went from firstly to tenthly. The congregation was dismissed, when the children with many "grown ups" repaired to "the base- ment" for Sunday School where the children recit- ed a dozen Scripture verses, perhaps a whole chap- ter from one of the gospels. During this hour a prayer meeting was held in the room above the vestibule. When the bell calls to afternoon ser- vice, the pews are again filled with worshippers. These were not the whole of Sunday service. In the evening there was a prayer meeting. On the first Sabbath of each month there was a missionary concert, at which the congregation usually joined in singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains." Be- [22] sides the regular Thursday evening prayer meet- ing, there was "the church meeting" on the first Saturday afternoon of each month at which every member was expected to be present. On the day preceding a communion it was made the occasion for the Preparatory Lecture. The prayer services were held in the basement of the church. The gentlemen occupied the benches on the west, the ladies those on the east side. In the very early history of our church only the Psalms were sung. Gradually the hymns of Watts and Dodridge were introduced. In those times it was the custom for the congregation to rise, turn, and face the choir in the gallery. These early workers in our church whose names have been called and a multitude of others who joined hand and heart in laying the foundation are gone to join in the everlasting songs, but their works do follow them and the imprint of their lives will last until the centuries shall be lost in the years of God. Nor do these influences cease with the boundaries of our village streets. These records have been carried into distant homes where sons and daughters are living witnesses of the instruc- tion, of the example, of the influence of the Godly men and women who made the Presbyterian church of Westfield in the early half of the last cen- tury. (MISS) LAVINIA STONE. [23] THE PERIOD FROM 1849 TO 1908 INCLUSIVE THE coming of Rev. Reuben Tinker to West- field in 1849 was the beginning of a new life to this church and society. Fresh from the great missionary fields in the Sandwich Islands toward which so much interest had recently been directed, he was a man to at- tract unusual attention. The manner of his com- ing was a part of the day in which he came. He was in Westfield as a candidate three weeks, (how slow of heart this people must have been) entertained at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Stone. When the call was extended and accepted, then came the moving. Here Deacon Fay and Deacon Montgomery were as usual, prompt to respond, and with their heavy lumber wagons started for Madison, Ohio, "to move the Minister." The trip took a full week to accom- plish their part of the task; Mr. Tinker following with his load and Mrs. Tinker, together with such of the children as did not find a place on the larger loads of furniture, excepting the two older boys, Samuel and Joseph, who drove the cows over this ninety miles of road. Mr. Tinker was a man of such marked talent, such attractive peculiarities, such lucidity in ex- pression, such quickness in wit and repartee, and beyond all, such depth of Christian feeling that his [24] preaching drew large audiences from the first. It was soon evident that the brick church, which had been built but a little more than twelve years, was quite inadequate for the demands of the congrega- tion, and after due consideration, the church build- ing was enlarged by an extension of twenty feet, at the northern end, giving a commodious vestibule with a prayer room above, surmounted by a large belfrey. Mr. Tinker was fond of music, and through his encouragement, a new organ was obtained. This was a decided innovation, but the organ was soon accepted with glad acclaim, even by the few who were fearful that it would secularize the sanctuary. The music during much of Mr. Tinker's time, was under the direction of Mr. Elias S. Barger who as a singer was as famous as was the noted divine in pulpit oratory. Those who heard Mr. Barger sing, cannot forget that superb tenor voice. Mr. Tinker, so recently from the mission field, called out interest and enthusiasm for all mission work. There were lectures on the mission work in the Islands that drew crowded houses. The la- dies had sewing societies where supplies for the families of missionaries were made up. This was before the advent of the sewing machine, and all garments were made by hand work. The collec- tions taken for missions were such as the church had never known before. The Sunday school, as well as the congregation was in the missionary work, and the spirit of missions and zeal for the cause was manifest on every side. Mr. Tinker was an indefatigable worker in the outskirts of the town. His diary shows frequent visits, accompanied by preaching services, at Elm [25] Flats; at the Leffingwell school house; at School District No. 2, the site of the present German Church, at the Johnston school house, on the Main Road, one mile west; on the Lake Road, probably the Bourne district, besides the great number of calls that come to a distinguished and attractive speaker. This work accounts in a way, for the in- fluential position which the church held. It was the center of religious activity, but to the great grief of the pastor, the conversions were not as he had hoped. They came later. The work was by no means in vain. In his diary is found, several times repeated, the entry, "Writing sermons for the Sewing Society." Evidently he prosecuted the church work through every possible channel. The church prayer meetings were frequently held in his study, and often mention is also made of these meetings being held at various homes. The society paid its pastor $700 a year; and a donation was also a part of the compensation. Whether these donations were a source of profit, may be questioned. But in the later years of his pastorate there was considerable money contribut- ed, as well as what was designated "substantials." The wedding fees were moderate as compared with present standards. For 21 weddings in one year it is noted that $60 was received. The larg- est fee being $6.00. In those days it was necessary for the minister to keep a horse. Long journeys were made by horse and stage. The "Belle" and the "Diamond" are mentioned as the steamboats taken to go east- ward to Dunkirk or Buffalo ; and westward to Erie [26] or as far west as Painesville. These small steam- ers, and the manner which they rolled and tumbled, is yet historic in many families. In 1852 the rail- road was completed, and after that the entry is made: went to Dunkirk or to Buffalo "on the cars;" and some visitors came "on the cars." In these years the Presbyterian Boards and the other benevolent objects were presented to the churches by agents sent out by the main office. In 1852, the pastor preached in his own pulpit sev- enty-five times; he preached in other pulpits, by special invitations, in many instances not on Sun- days, forty-two times. Other ministers preached in his pulpit fifty-three times, generally on Sunday. The present church goer, who shrugs a shoulder when occasionally some one other than the pastor is in the pulpit, or turns back at the door if an ex- change is made, should make a note as to those good old times, when the congregation, which came for the strongest of spiritual food, endured the numberless weak men sent out by the boards, took it patiently, as a matter of course. However, many representatives of the boards were strong and eloquent men and were ever5rwhere welcomed. In these years church discipline was an active agency. The good deacons were watchful of the flock to an extent not in practice now. Did a mem- ber neglect church attendance and particularly communion, a call was made by one of the elders or deacons, and if that did not suffice, the careless member was called before the Session. In case of flagrant transgressions, when there was not shown sincere repentence and promise of a better life, the member was expelled. When the entry was made in the records showing the member to have been [27] expelled, good Deacon Couch would add, "and may God have mercy upon your soul." In one entry we read: "This paper is therefore to declare the three above named, to all human appearance are ir- reclaimable, and are now cut off from this church, and make public the principle fact, that having brought forth briars and thorns, and seemed even nigh unto cursing, they have afforded painful evi- dence that their end is to be burned, according to Heb. 6-8th, and their blood be upon their own heads." In 1846, Charles J. J. IngersoU became a member of the board of elders. Mr. IngersoU had long been active in church work; in the Sunday school he was particularly successful. He was a refined, capable, scholarly man. For some years he con- ducted The Westfield Messenger with success. Later he removed to Greenfield, Mass., with his family, where he died. Mr. Lester Stone was a prominent man in the church, always taking up Christian work wherever it was to be found. In 1848 he was chosen a dea- con, and then began an official life that went on for half a century. There was no part of church work or church life that did not feel his influence. About this time (1848) the whole territory of the Society was divided into sections by the Session, and visitors for the different districts appointed to call, converse and pray with the members of the church. To show some of those to whom work in that day was assigned, we find the Allen Wright District and Elm Flats, to Lester Stone and Sextus Hungerford; Barcelona and Hawley District to Daniel C. Northrop and Stephen Macomber; Dur- [28] and and Northrop District, to J. Whipple and John Couch; No. i Center District, to Hiram Couch, Jonathan Harmon, Hugh Cochrane and Paul Per- sons. Mr, Tinker seems to have kept his officers busy looking after the work. In the following year, 1849, a committee of elders was appointed to can- vass the Society and ascertain how many families had and how many families did not have family prayers. In 1853, Elder William W. Cowden, whose name appears often on the church records, moved to Ohio. Elder Cowden was much esteemed in the community. He lived in the brick house which he built a mile and a half east of the viUage, now occu- pied by Benjamin Hopson, and with his family filled a large place in the church and community. His son, Harmon Cowden, enlisted in the Ninth New York Cavalry, was Captain of Co. I., and died in Virginia in the year following. His wife, Mrs. Mary Bostwick Cowden, was prominent in church work; and the family is yet represented in the church by the fourth generation in Mrs. Mary Cow- den Hall. In 1853 Mr. Tinker was afflicted with a swelling of the left leg, and in November of that year he went to Boston for medical advice and treatment. There was great anxiety throughout the Society and town. In April the pastor returned, having suffered the amputation of his leg. He addressed himself bravely to the work. His first sermon after his re- turn was from the text, "If thy foot offend thee cut it off." There was no abatement of the true Tink- [29] er spirit. Although greatly reduced in strength, he again stood in his pulpit. A revolving chair was provided for him, but he was not content to sit and preach, and so, standing on one foot, he de- livered his God-given message with great force and spirit. This continued with occasional interrup- tions caused by failing strength through the sum- mer and into the fall. Sunday, October ist, com- munion services were held. Five persons were ad- mitted to membership and three infants were bap- tized. Mr. Tinker was assisted in this service by Rev. Timothy Stillman of Dunkirk. The Session records kept by the pastor, were written up in full, including this date. October 26, 1854, the Rev. Reuben Tinker, who had given the church a name known far and near, a pastor idolized by his people, a preacher of great power, passed away at the age of 55 years. The church had often had the benefit of the ser- vices of Rev. William Coleman, a Colporter, who had long been a resident of Westfield. He was of much assistance when a minister was needed, and extended his good offices at this time. In this same year, 1854, Rev. Levi A. Skinner, of Lancaster, N. Y., who had resigned his pastorate on account of ill health, came to Westfield. He had been a frequent visitor in the place for years, his sister being the wife of Elder Sextus H. Hung- erford. The Sessional records show very little between death of Mr. Tinker in October, 1854, and January of 1855. January 7th, the communion services were held, Rev. Mr. Coleman and Rev. Mr. Skin- ner officiating. [30] Rev. Anson Gleason The next communion was held April 8th. Rev. Anson Gleason of the Cattaraugus Mission officiat- ing. "Father Gleason," was the familiar and af- fectionate term by which he was best known. The preparatory lecture was of great interest; and at the communion service it was evident that a marked awakening was upon the church. Fath- er Gleason was invited to remain with the church, which he did. He began holding daily meetings, and was assisted by Rev. Samuel Orton who had been frequently invited on special occasions. Rev. Mr. Skinner was also active in this work. Father Gleason led everything. There were meetings in the various neighborhoods. At the joint district on the Mayville Road, where Deacon Stone had long held a Sunday School; at Deacon- ville, the circle of homes comprising Deacons Montgomery, Fay and Hall; at private houses in other portions of the town, until the field was well taken in hand. Father Gleason continually said: "Brother Tinker sowed the seed ; I am simply get- ting in the harvest." His kindly, forceful ways, his grand personality, his persuasive voice, and that soul-stirring hymn which was his favorite, "Come, Thou Font of Every Blessing," which he sang with the greatest zest, carried everything before him. The very air was full of the gospel message. At this time came to Westfield, Rev. Charles F. Mussey. No man ever found a more open field. The call to Mr. Mussey to become the pastor, was signed by the committee appointed for that pur- pose, consisting of Sextus H. Hungerford, John G. Hinckley, and William Johnston. Rev. Mr. Mussey preached his first sermon. May 131] 6, 1855. ari and matting was bought for Sunday School room. 1905, officers the same. $43 proceeds. Prayer room walls were tinted. 1906, president and officers the same. Money raised, $77.15. New altar cloths bought. 1907, officers nearly the same, with then, $206.80. Linoleum was bought for side hall. Church was again cleaned, A Stein- way Grand piano was bought for $450 of which the church contributed $45. 1908, Mrs. F. B. Brewer, president. $100 has already been given towards the music. Thus closes a brief record of the work of the two [110] societies from March, 1878 to December 31, 1908, a period of 35 years. In the time alloted I have only been able to mention a few of the more im- portant facts or works undertaken and successfully carried out by the ladies of the church and society. MISS LIZZIE F. SIMMONS. [Ill] YOUNG PEOPLE'S MEETINGS AND CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR THE Presb5^erian Church of Westfield was doubtless the pioneer society in the Pres- bytery in the way of having young people's meetings. They did not come by fore- thought or by the advice of pastor or Session. In 1849, there were held revival services in the M. E. Church. There was much interest felt all through the town and five young men from the Presbyterian Church were among the converts. One evening these young men, Joseph Montgom- ery, Robert Hall, Samuel Tinker, William Hall and George Coleman, came to their own church, and feeling they wanted to have a meeting by them- selves, broke through a window into the basement of the Presbyterian Church, which was used as a prayer room as well as a meeting place for the Sun- day School; and in the dark, feeling about found some candles, and when the place was lighted, held the first Young People's Meeting of which there is any record. From this time on, Young People's Meetings have been continuously, in one form or another, held in the church. Later, these boys were joined by Samuel and Os- car AUis, John W. Johnston, Joseph Hall, John Crosgrove, Martin Fay and other young men of their age. Let no one suppose that these meetings were carried on by the young men alone. Quite [112] as important were the young ladies, which included Hattie Hungerford, Sarah Johnston, Hannah Pat- terson, Amorette Harrington, Eliza Hall, Sarah Tinker, who with others, went to make the meet- ing successful. A few years later as some of the older young people began to be scattered, there came into the meetings John Crocker, Edward Skinner, Robert Tinker, Henry Harrington, James Ainsworth, and a bevy of young ladies, among whom were Mary and Abbie Tinker, Frances Bar- ger, Emma Hall, Amelia Harrington, Mary Dixon, Maria Tiffany, Amanda Persons, Sarah Baldwin, Nancy and Addie Durand, Helen Phelps, Lavinia Stone and others. The next set of boys, let us call them, the next series, included Sextus Knight, James Montgom- ery Johnston, Charles AUis, George Darger, George Parmerlee, Charles Skinner, Edward and Carson Crosgrove, Ross Knight, John and Carson Crosgrove. At the same time on the ladies' side of the room — for they sat in that way — were Ella Harrington, Amelia Phelps, Eliza Baldwin, Julia Stone, Hattie and Nettie Baldwin, Imogene Hung- erford, Agnes Johnston, Myra Dick, Florence Hawley, Roxy Driggs, Mary Carlisle, Nellie Smtih, Susan and Ella Loomis, Helen Sexton, Adele Driggs, and — it is impossible to make a complete list, but those named were among those who came to make the young people's meetings a possibility and a success. Each pastor of the church was glad to find the young people doing good work for themselves and the church in this way. Whenever a revival was in progress, the Young People's Meeting was the first to feel the new impulse. [1X3] In 1866, there came actively into these meetings a large number following the great revival of that year. It must be remembered that the names given above constitute only a small portion of those who went to fill the room in which these meetings were held, and made their continuance possible. The character of these meetings did not mater- ially change until after the coming of Rev. William F. Faber in 1883. In November, 1887, through the efforts of Rev. William F. Faber, then pastor of the church, a Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor was organized with fifteen active and ten associate members. The officers for the first six months be- ing H. W. Thompson, president; J. M. Mateer, vice president ; Miss Nellie Seymour, secretary, and Miss Lizzie J. Thompson, (now Mrs. E. L. Jones), treasurer. Among the charter members of the Society were : Clara H. Skinner Mrs. D. R. Falvay Herbert Ford Elsie Gray H. W. Blowers Edward Bebee H. W- Thompson D. H. Spaulding Lizzie J. Thompson Nellie Driggs Ella E. Usbome Joseph M. Mateer Fimum Anderson Maria Hall Mr. D. R. Falvay Marie Hall Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Faber, who proved himself a friend and brother, as well as a spiritual adviser to the young people, and with the blessing of God the Society grew rapidly, number- ing 52 active and twenty associate members in a little over two years. The highest membership was reached in 1894, when there were ninety active and ten associate members enrolled. [114] The Constitution of the Society was essentially the same as the National Y. P. S. C. E. Its foun- dation the pledge: "Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength, I promise Him that I will strive to do whatever he would like to have me do ; that I will pray to him and read the Bible every day, and that just so far as I know how, throughout my whole life, I will endeavor to lead a Christian life. As an active member, I promise to be present at, and to participate in every regular prayer meet- ing of the Society, unless prevented by some reason which I can conscientiously give as an excuse to my master, Jesus Christ." Its object to promote an earnest Christian life among its mem- bers, to increase their mutual acquaintance, and to make them more useful in the service of God. The prayer meetings of the Society were held regularly each Sunday evening, one hour before service when the prayer room was often filled with young people, the average attendance being about seventy for some time. During its years of active service the Society was a real aid to the church. The work was ac- complished by every active member being placed upon some committee, which reported regularly at the business meetings, once a month, its plan of work and what had been accomplished. The So- ciety adopted systematic giving and had a general and a beneficial fund. The former was for the gen- eral expenses of the Society and was maintained by a collection taken each month ; the latter by the en- velope system. From this fund they paid into the church the first year $35, to apply on the church debt. Afterward rented a pew for the benefit of strangers for three of four years, and one year gave [115] $21 toward the purchase of a piano. To care for the poor of the church was always a part of their work, and through their efforts one aged member who was actually penniless was provided for en- tirely until the close of life, and then given comfort- able burial. Another, who was an invalid, always had their care. A vegetable social was held one year and from the proceeds 23 poor families pro- vided with a Thanksgiving dinner. Beginning in 1888 there was a little paper called "In His Name," edited by Mr. Faber and published monthly, for the information and benefit of the members of the church and congregation. This enterprise was strongly upheld by the Christian Endeavor Society, some of its members working earnestly to extend its circulation and for its finan- cial success. For some time the Society maintain- ed a prayer meeting at Barcelona and also in the Burch School District. The latter of which was continued until October, 1908. They organized a Junior Society of Christian Endeavor in 1892 with thirty-five members which was in existence for sev- eral years but was finally dropped for lack of a leader. It was a severe blow to the Society when Mr. Faber left the church. To him they had ever look- ed for advice, encouragement and sympathy, and to his efforts in their behalf owed much. The suc- ceeding pastor, however. Rev, George S. Sweezey, was an active Christian Endeavor worker, and the Society still prospered under his care. But as the years passed many of the young people left town to make their way in life, or became the heads of families and the Society gradually declined until by the action of eleven members it was disbanded, No- [116] vember 6, 1904, and gave place to a new society or- ganized by our present pastor, Rev. George L. MacClelland. However, the Christian Endeavor spirit remain- ed in the hearts of those who were left of the ori- ginal society, and they re-organized under the name of the Christian Endeavor Prayer Circle, which though small, still lives. They meet the first Sunday evening of each month, one hour be- fore preaching service, and divide the time between a service of prayer and a businss meeting given to a report of any work accomplished the past month and in making general inquiries regarding any who are strangers, sick or in trouble, which information is passed on to the officers of the church to be acted upon by them in connection with the Society in bringing comfort and relief to the troubled and thus promote Christian fellowship among the mem- bers of the church and congregation. MISS ELLA E. USBORNE. [117] BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF REV. REUBEN TINKER REV. Reuben Tinker was born in Chester, Mass., August 6, 1799, and enjoyed the or- dinary privileges of a New England com- mon school. His father was a farmer, but the son not being physically strong, was put into a store in Chester where he was employed as a clerk for four years and a half. He then resigned in order to get a better education, and attended the academy at Westfield, Mass., remaining in the school only a single term. He then entered a store in Westfield, serving as bookkeeper and accountant a little over a year, during which time he was con- verted. He began the study of Latin, being im- pelled by a desire to preach the gospel, and for several months studied Latin in time when the store books did not require his attention. His pro- gress was too slow, and he resigned and went to Amherst for better school privileges, walking all the way — fifty miles — to save money for schooling, and entered a preparatory school. In 1823 he was prepared to enter college, and was graduated there- from in 1827. He taught school, worked at book- keeping a few weeks at a time, acted as amanuensis when he had the opportunity; swept the college hall and rang the college bell, by doing which he earned the means to pay his way through college. He entered Auburn Seminary in the fall of 1827, and finished his theological course in three years. [118] Rev. Reuben Tinker All through his college and seminary life he had kept in view the object of becoming a missionary to foreign lands, and when he was ready — in 1830 — he was sent by the American Board to the Sand- wich Islands, sailing from New Bedford, Decem- ber 28th, with his wife to whom he had been mar- ried November 14th, previously. Their vessel reached Honolulu June 5, 1831. In 1838 he sev- ered his connection with the Board, but remained on the Islands until October, 1840, when he sailed for home, arriving in May, 1841, with his wife and six children, one of whom was born during the long passage. They went to Madison, Ohio, where his wife's father, Nathan Wood, was then living. He preached four years in Madison "to the great acceptance and profit of the people there," finally accepting a call from the First Presbyterian Church in Westfield. He was installed as pastor in September, 1845, and continued to labor there until his death, October 26, 1854. During his pas- torate his ministry was successful in every way, and his biographer. Dr. Thompson, says that the West- field church "from being small and feeble became large and strong; out of Buffalo the largest and strongest, and incomparably the most influential, within the bounds of the presbytery. In the pulpit he was somewhat odd in manner and quaint in ex- pression, yet he was a very attractive and effective preacher, delighting his audience while making his sincerity and earnestness felt by every heart. He was really eloquent, and at the same time original, weighty and impressive, in the highest degree. At presbyterial meetings he spoke very little, but al- ways tersely and directly to the point, so that he was a power in the councils of the church. Mem- [119] bers of the presbytery at the same time said that when Brother Tinker wanted anything done it was always done. Singularly free from guile he could always carry his point by demonstrating the need and the Christianity of it. The man who could cheer himself up by singing "Windham" when great obstacles faced him, could always find the way out when presbyterial troubles and problems were in need of solution. As a sermonizer he was always logical, pointed and attractive, holding the close attention of his hearers^ though not an orator in the accepted meaning of the term. He always had the loving support of the officers of the church, the membership, and indeed the whole congrega- tion which was large and steadily growing till his death, which was hastened by the necessary ampu- tation of one leg, which was diseased and was op- erated upon in a Boston hospital. After his return he preached a characteristic sermon from the text, "If thy foot offend thee, cut it off." It was a dis- course of great power, and I may add, full of Tink- erisms. In the meetings of presbytery, Mr. Tink- er's gift of seeing all sides of a question was of great assistance. His colleagues were accustomed to say that his name should not have been Tinker, but "Thinker." A story is told of him that on one occasion he occupied the pulpit of the First Church in Erie, Pa. On Monday morning the sermons of Sunday were a general subject of conversation when friends met. At a furnace where a large number of men were employed, all had something to say of the preacher and the sermon. At length a patternmaker, a veteran among them, ended the discussion by saying: "Shopmates, when God made that man he broke up the pattern." Mr. [120] Tinker had seven children, the first five of whom were born on the Sandwich Islands, and one, Abbie Marina, on the voyage home. She afterward be- came the wife of the Rev. Henry Purdon and was beloved by all. The youngest, Elizabeth, a most gifted and charming woman, a successful teacher, died just when life was at its brightest. All the children inherited unusual ability from both pa- rents, associated with Tinkerisms, which made them stand out prominently among people and en- deared them to everyone. D. A. A. NICHOLS. [121] BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF REV. CHARLES F. MUSSEY REV. Charles F. Mussey, the son of Dr. Reu- ben D. and Kitty (Osgood) Mussey, was born in 1825 in Hanover, N. H., where his father was a practicing physician and Pro- fessor in the Dartmouth Medical School. In 1838 the family moved to Cincinnati, O., where Dr. Mussey helped to found the Miami Medical Col- lege. Thence Charles went to Dartmouth Col- lege, graduating while still young. After graduat- ing from the Seminary he supplied the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church in McConnelsville, O. Then he was married and came to his first pastorate (with his bride), over the First Presbyterian Church in Westfield, N. Y. He came full of an earnest desire for the welfare of the church and of the kingdom of Christ, but just after preaching his ordination sermon he fell the victim to an attack of sciatica, and did not enter the pulpit again for six months, and then on crutches. He went to Cin- cinnati in order to have the benefit of the advice and care of his father, Dr. Reuben Mussey, and his brother. Dr. William Mussey. He recover- ed so that in a few months he was able to do his pastoral work in which he was greatly helped by the love and sympathy of his parishioners. He re- mained in Westfield some seven years, when fail- ing health necessitated more rest than he could have in so large a church as that of Westfield. The [122] Rev. Charles F. Mussey membership was large when he began, and grew steadily all through his pastorate. He went from here to Batavia, N. Y., where he preached accept- ably for six years, when another severe attack of sciatica necessitated an almost complete cessation of ministerial work. He could not remain idle, how- ever, and so went to Blue Rapids, Kan., as presi- dent of a colony of settlers, and on the first Sab- bath in Blue Rapids he organized a Presbyterian Church in the dining room of an unfinished hotel. As the church grew in numbers and pecuniary abil- ity a fine new church was built. From Blue Rapids Mr. Mussey went to Leavenworth, Kan., in order to resuscitate a church there which was hopelessly in debt. The debt was finally paid, but the church failed to live. Mr. Mussey preached the last ser- mon in the handsome but unfinished church build- ing which later on was finished and used for school purposes. Mr. Mussey then went back to Cincin- nati, and soon organized a church in the suburb called Westwood. There he spent the remainder of his ministerial life. The last three years of his life were spent in the home of his son, William, in Denver, Colo. He died April 2, 1903. He was especially attached to the people of his first pastor- ate, and spoke often and lovingly of them and his home in Westfield. Born into a gifted family he was naturally a gifted preacher, and alwajrs held the attention of his hearers, and what was more he had the love of his congregation and the esteem of community. He was a Christian man in every particular, and his followers were many and earn- est in all good work. D. A. A. NICHOLS. [123] HISTORY OF HOLDINGS WHEN we take in retrospect the history of this Society for one hundred years, we find that from the reported forma- tion of a church in 1808 under the title of The Chautauque Church, up to November 7, 181 7, at which date a Session was formed, there are today no records to be found of any church prop- erty or house of worship, and we may well be con- strained to believe that wherever "two or three were gathered in His name," these were the places of worship and that at that early period religious services were held in the humble houses of this pioneer community. It is certain, however, that not long after the re- organization of 1 81 7, a commodious wooden struc- ture was built and that it was located upon or near the site of the residence of the late Alfred S. Patter- son, at the comer of South Portage and Chase Streets, and upon land of Eber Stone. The dates assigned to the erection of this building by different authorities do not exactly agree. Andrew W. Young, in his "History of Chautauqua County," states definitely that it was in 182 1 or 1822, and the Centennial History of this county follows these same dates. The late H. C. Kingsbury, then president of the board of trustees, February 27, 1879, on the oc- casion of the dedication of this present church, gave a graphic description of the laying of the foun- [124] First Church Building, 1821-1822 dations, the erection and enclosing of the structure by what may be called a church building bee, all in one week in the spring of 1818, and he distinctly states that the first annual meeting of this Society was held in that building on the i6th of June, 18 18, and that there were at the time of this account by him, men still living among us who took part in this work. This building was afterward removed to the east side of Pearl Street and is now standing next to the present High School grounds, it having been occupied by this Sociey from the time of its erection until 1832 when the first Brick Church was erected. The first recorded conveyance of real property to this society which I am able to find in the re- cords of this county, is that by warranty deed of James McClurg and Martha, his wife, to the Trus- tees of the First Presbyterian Society of Westfield, under date of December 7th, 1832. Consideration, $500, and containing 1761^-1000 of an acre of land. This deed must have been pursuant to some con- tract for a deed inasmuch as it describes the land conveyed from "a corner of the brick meeting house standing on the premises hereby to be con- veyed." On the same date, Jas. McClurg conveyed to the same trustees by a deed in special trust a tri- angular piece of land in front of the church for the nominal consideration of one dollar, and again on March 9, 1853, James McClurg made another deed of trust for a consideration of one dollar to the trustees of this Society of a strip of land on the easterly side of the land already conveyed by him in the two deeds of 1832. When the second and larger brick church edifice was built it became necessary to remove the re- [125] strictions embodied in the deeds of special trust from James McClurg in 1832 and 1853 from some portion of this land and for that purpose a further deed was secured from Edward J. Moore, and Cath- erine (McClurg) Moore, his wife, to the trustees of this society under the date June 4th, 1873, which fully effected this requirement. An interesting and valuable item in this conveyance is the coven- ant by the grantors that no buildings or structures of any kind, except fences, shall ever be erected within forty feet of the easterly line of the premises conveyed. These four deeds cover the title to the church lot which is contained between the center line of South Portage Street, the McClurg-Moore line fence, McClurg Street and the village park. I wish to call attention at this point to the fact that the descendants of Joseph Farnsworth claim that at an early date he presented to this society for a parsonage, the property known in later years as the Edwin Buck homestead on the west side of North Portage Street, and which is now owned by Hermon L. Kent. There are, however, no deeds upon record showing this. I am also clearly informed that James McMahan, the first settler in this county, gave a deed to this Society of "one-half acre of land for burying ground purposes" with a right of way to the same. This deed must have been given between September 18, 1821 and December 31, 1821, for at this latter date in conveying the land embracing this half acre he made a clear exception and reserve of it. This is the old Main Street Burying Ground which is lo- cated just southerly from the old Col. Joshua R, Babcock homestead. Mrs. Helen Smith Tennant, the granddaughter of James McMahan, gives me [126] First Brick Church, 1832 Ruins of New Church, Dedicated 1874 this information. This deed was found a few years ago in the brick law office of Abram Dixon, a for- mer law partner of the late Austin Smith, Mrs. Tennant's father, and Mr. M. D. Tennant, her hus- band, informs me that he delivered the deed to the National Bank of Westfield for this Society. This deed was never recorded that I can find, and cannot now be found. On the 3d of October, 1831, at a special meeting of this Society, Eber Stone, Joseph Farnsworth, John and Joel Bradley, Daniel C. Northrup and Erastus Dean were appointed as a committee to erect the first church building which stood upon this ground which was conveyed by JamesMcClurg and wife and to make all plans and provisions for it as to cost and pa3mient, as to material, dimen- tions and time, in the best interest of the society. This committee set about their task at once and on October 24, 1831, joined in a signed agreement which they called an "article of compact" to obtain subscriptions toward this end and to stand person- ally responsible upon the notes necessary to pro- vide for the loans to complete the work, this being divided into five equal shares of which each assum- ed the responsibility for one except that John Brad- ley and Daniel C. Northrup assumed one share to- gether. In December, 1831, they began operations and erected the first brick church the following year, 1832 ; John Jones was the builder. This building was in the prevailing style of that day, with a high pulpit and a stair case upon either side, at the foot of which were the square box pews enclosed by small panel doors which the ushers [127] opened and closed in seating attendants. The or- gan loft was at the south end opposite the pulpit and the galleries along each side of the audience room. The house was heated by stoves, and had Sunday school rooms in the basement story. The cost for building and site was $6,461.25 as shown by the report of the committee, of which amount they borrowed $4,312.50. This cost being finally pro- vided for from an appraisal and auction sale of the pews, for which deeds signed by the trustees were given to the purchasers. This house was occupied by this Society for a period of forty years, until the fire of April 13, 1872, when it was totally destroyed, together with two residences across the street where the fire origin- ated. There was no insurance to lighten the loss and the poverty of this church was manifest in the pile of ashes and a burden of indebtedness under which the Society was then laboring. There were great difficulties in the way of a speedy restoration of this loss. The spirit of wil- lingness to meet all of its obligations was found lacking and the record of judgment creditors, of executions, and even of sheriff's sale and of the final redemption of its property can be read in the docu- ments preserved in the strong box of this society. The effort to raise funds with which to rebuild had proved fruitless and on the i8th of January, 1873, there came a crisis in the affairs of this church when the whole board of trustees offered their resignations. This was a crisis, however, which carried us forward and upward, and in the trustees which were immediately elected, George W. Pat- [128] Church Building of today, dedicated 1879 terson, James Johnson, L. A. Skinner, Reuben G. Wright, Thomas D. Strong and H. C. Kingsbury, we recognize a board of great strength and ability. These men set to work with such unanimity and zeal that on the 6th of June, 1873, the trustees let the contract to the architect, Mr. Aaron Hall, to build the second brick church for $26,000, that amount being at that time fully pledged. Septem- ber 29, 1874, was a day of grateful rejoicing when the first meeting in the new and commodious church home took place. When all additions were made and when fully furnished the total cost of this building was about $40,000. During the immedi- ate years that followed little did this Society and congregation, while in the peaceful security and contented enjoyment of their beautiful church, dream of the fresh disaster toward which they were so rapidly approaching. On the 13th of January, 1878, another fatal thirteenth, in the early morning hours, that beautiful structure was found to be on fire, was soon wrapped in flames and laid in ashes by the destroying element. It was often asked. Why should the House of God be permitted to burn? Perhaps no better answer can be given than that it WAS the House of God, and that He would bring His followers this people to a more perfect unity and purpose by the supreme test of self-sacrifice to rebuild the temple in which to wor- ship Him. There was no delay. To the then existing board of trustees, J. H. Plumb, R. G. Wright, E. A. Skin- ner, H. C. Kingsbury and S. W. Mason, were added Dr, F. B. Brewer, Alfred Patterson and L. F. Phelps, constituting the building committee. Sub- scriptions were soon secured to supplement the [129] $23,000 insurance realized from the fire loss, the building was erected by the same architect and when we reflect that on the 27th of February, a lit- tle more than a year later this present building, at a cost of about $30,000, fully paid, was tendered for dedication, we can form some estimate of the splen- did work that was done by that body of men to ac- complish it. The first recorded ownership of a parsonage by this Society came by warranty deed from George W. Patterson and Hannah W., his wife, under date November 25, 1878. This was a gift and recited that it was "for a manse or parsonage and for no other use" and it conveyed the property known as the James D. Carlisle house and lot at the corner of Clinton and Market Streets in this village, and was a most generous and useful benefaction to this people. On January 21, 1897, George W. Patterson and Francis D. Patterson, as sole residuary legatees of the former grantors, reciting the former deed by the father and mother, conveyed all their interest of whatsoever name and nature to this society, thus generously freeing the parsonage property from all restrictions. It was during the summer of 1904 that a move- ment was set on foot for the building of a new par- sonage which should be better suited and more in keeping with the present wants of our church. F. A. Hall, F. B. Brewer, G. S. Flagler, H. L. Munson, S. C. Crandall and E. M. Kent constitut- ing the board of trustees, and the last two named the building committee. They were presented by Mr. E. A. Skinner with a subscription list headed [130] for this purpose with five subscriptions of $500 each. The board upon consultation with the peo- ple found a strong sentiment in favor of building at once and the necessary pledges were easily secured, the lot on Elm Street was purchased of Hermon L. Kent by his deed of November 12, 1904, for $1,160. Most satisfactory plans and specifications by E. E. Joralemon, architect, were adopted and the con- tract was promptly let to Peter Meister & Son and Charles G. Wantshouse. The work was begun in the early winter of 1904 and completed during the following summer of 1905, the total cost for con- struction being about $5,400, the old parsonage be- ing sold to Andrew W. Dieffenbeck, March 23, 1905, for $2,200, that amount was applied to the new parsonage fund. It is through the labors, the generous spirit, the self-sacrifice and self-denial of the members of this Society and of this community, through all these years, that the present membership and congrega- tion enjoy a church edifice and a pastor's house at once so ample and adequate to their present needs. Let us feel that it is our duty to guard these against loss, and to preserve them with care to the best of our ability as a house of worship and a home for those who shall come after us. I have hesitated to present on this occasion what seemed to me might be a bare and uninteresting recital of facts, but if by bringing the salient points in the physical history of the First Presby- terian Society of Westfield during the past one hun- dred years into more compact and intimate rela- tions, it shall serve any good and useful purpose now, and in the years to come, I shall be content.
