The type of seat used at that time is a matter of conjecture, be- cause no action was taken on the building of seats or pews until March 24, 1788 at which time it was voted to ". . . make a grant of part of the ground or floor of said church to each individual for the purpose of building pews or seats, the expense of which to be at the charge of the owner thereof and that the particular person or persons to whom the society, by their vote, shall grant the ground or floor of said house shall have an exclusive right to the floor of that particular part to them granted, their heirs and assigns or to the widow of a deceased propietor for and during the time that said house shall continue in being, always provided that the person or persons to whom any particular grant may be made actually
[27]
builds a pew or seat by the first day of August next coming ... " The size of the seats or pews was set as "sufficient for a common family to seat in."
The Rev. John R. Marshall was granted the floor on the south side of the pulpit to build two seats, Hezekiah Thompson had the floor at the southwest corner to build a pew. (Mr. Marshall's seats ran lengthwise of the church in front of Mr. Thompson's pew.) John Masters had the floor in the northwest corner to build a pew. The meeting was then adjourned to April 8th when certain mem- bers were granted space on the north and south sides to build seats. Between this meeting and the following meeting which was held on April 23rd some one must have realized how undesirable it would be to have square pews and straight seats intermingled throughout the whole church, and at the latter meeting it was voted "to build pews around the sides of the church and seats in the center of same." Space was granted on the north side of the pulpit to build two seats. (These seats ran lengthwise of the church in front of Mr. Masters' pew.)
On January 26, 1789 it was voted to lay a tax of seven shillings on the pound on the list of 1788, payable February 10, 1789" to be applied toward the charges for building the church.
No grants were made after June 6, 1791 at which time space had been granted for six pews on either side of the church.
From 1797 to 1800 important improvements were made in the interior of the church including plastering and finishing up of the pews. It seems to be one of the ironies of fate that Mr. Thomas Prentice, who had been one of those most instrumental in the build- ing of the church and who had worked four days at the roof and twenty seven and one half days at the steeple should have, while finishing the inside of the church, fallen from the upper wall to the floor and been killed.
Through the efforts of Col. William Moseley, at that time Treas- urer of the parish, a bell was secured in 1810 and in the same year the pulpit was built at a cost of $71.67 which was apparently raised by a tax on the list of 1810.
The desire to change the old square pews into seats took form at the annual meeting March 30, 1812, under the Rectorship of Rev. Mr. Welton when it was voted: - "That the propietors of any pew or pews in the church may alter the same into slips or seats, provided that when any such alteration is made in the pews
[28]
on one side of the church the same alteration be made on the other side so as to procure a uniformity in the appearance of the seats, and that the standing committee may alter by and with the con- sent of the propietors of the first two slips in front of the desk in the church if a subscription can be made to defray the expense of said alterations". On April 19, 1813 Charles B. Phelps and Gany Bacon were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions and on April 11, 1814 Gany Bacon, John P. Marshall and Nathan Preston were appointed a committee to "make such contracts respecting the finishing or repairing the church as they judge best." With the money thus secured the church was thoroughly finished, alterations made in the steeple, the old gallery taken out and new one built, the square pews on the north and south sides of the pulpit and along the walls on each side were turned into seats.
At that time attendance must have been large because on May 20, 1822 it was voted: - "That the society committee be directed to furnish a seat for each person who has or shall join the society who is not already provided for, suitable to their age, if they shall apply for same when seats are not filled at present".
On October 30, 1822 the church was "set apart from all unhal- lowed, profane and common uses and dedicated to the worship and service of Almighty God" by the Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Brownell, third Bishop of Connecticut, by whose official act it received the name of St. Paul's Church, Woodbury.
By April 26, 1830 the idea of holding seats as private property was beginning to disappear and it was voted: - "That the slips be set up at auction on the second Saturday in May for one year end- ing Easter 1831, reserving such slips for widows and others as the society committee may direct". This system of renting seats con- tinued until January 3, 1870 when it was voted that the seats in St. Paul's Church be free. At various times since then slips have been set up at auction but they have been free for some years past.
On April 1, 1839 it was voted to circulate a subscription for painting and repairing the church necessary to receive the organ, which was placed in the church in the fall of 1840.
Mr. Phineas Bradley and Edson Camp were appointed on March 28, 1842 to call on the Selectmen for permission to obtain ground northwest of the church to build horse sheds. The sheds were built in the spring of 1843 and on May 1st of the same year a new bell was placed in the church. This bell was purchased from G. Hol- brook, weighed 843 pounds and the cost, including expense of
[29]
placing, was $240.75. Payment was made by turning in the old bell, weighing 596 pounds, for $101.32 and cash, part of which was secured by subscription and the remainder advanced by the ladies of the Benevolent Society from funds secured by holding a fair the previous summer.
On March 24, 1845, David Betts and Lewis B. Candee were appointed a committee to superintend building of Vestry room, which was built on the back of the church.
In the year 1852, the church was presented with "elegant Bible, Prayer book and Hymnal" by gentlemen who had formerly been members of the parish. These service books for Lectern and Altar were given on the day preceding the Jubilee celebration of S.P.G. and were first used on that occasion. The Bible replaced the one originally used, which had been brought from London in 1771, by the Rev. John R. Marshall, which his widow, Mrs. Sarah Marshall, had rebound and which is now at the Glebe House. At this time the ladies of the Sewing Society furnished the church with "a full set of beautiful lamps", which were in swinging brackets and the central fixture was a huge chandelier holding eight or ten lamps suspended from the ceiling.
During the winter of 1853, the sum of $150.00 had been raised for alterations and repairs in the church, other subscriptions came in later and on May 29, 1854 it was voted: - "That the sum sub- scribed was sufficient to warrant the commencement of repairs and the committee were directed to commence the additions and repairs by the 10th June 1854 according to the plans and specifications written by W. P. Marshall". Rev. F. D. Harriman offered to appro- priate the amount which would be due him as salary, $425, to the repairs on condition the society raise the same sum in addition. At this time the Chancel was added and the Vestry room moved to the South side of the extension, the Nave was lengthened on each side of the tower for vestibules, the Gallery removed, the tower opened into the church for organ loft three feet above the main floor, the doors removed from the tower and placed in the front of the church on either side of the tower, the large timbers of the frame were cased, strengthened and adorned with heavy spandrels and pendants, the ceiling was colored ultra marine blue with bor- dered medallions of buff and vermillion. The Chancel was raised two steps with the pulpit and desk on either side, the Sacrorium, raised one step, was adorned with a bold Altar wainscoating of amber color containing six panels, the two center panels contained the Ten Commandments in blue and gold. A massive Communion
[30]
Table covered with embroidered Altar Cloth of crimson and gold replaced the original cherry Communion Table, which now stands behind the Font in the northwest corner of the church. An organ of eight stops, which is now in Christ Church, Bethlehem, was erected by Mr. George Jardine of New York and the organ cham- ber had seats for twelve persons. All the work was done under the direction of Mr. Walter P. Marshall of Pittsburgh, Pa., grandson of the first Rector, and Mr. Eidlitz, an architect of New York. Mr. Henry Perry Marshall, another grandson of the first Rector, pre- sented the beautiful crystal chandelier which now hangs in the Chancel.
The cost of all including furniture, without the organ, was about $3000 and, although friends outside the parish helped with the finances, there remained a debt of $1500 which was paid off under the Rectorship of the Rev. Mr. Harriman. The organ was paid for by Mr. Walter P. Marshall who was reimbursed by the parish with the exception of $400 and on April 9, 1855 it was voted: - "That the Vestry confer with Mr. Marshall and contract with him for the use of the organ." Whether this was done is not a matter of record, however the parish took title to the organ a short time later.
Soon after the above alterations had been made, a wooden Bap- tismal Font with a silver inset bowl was presented to the church. The bowl was engraved as follows: - "Presented to St. Paul's Church, Woodbury, Conn. by Lucy C. Churchill and J. Otis Aver- ill, 1855".
The Clerk's records, on the page following the minutes of the Annual meeting April 21, 1851, show that all the square pews had been removed and replaced with seats prior to that time.
In 1858 a fence consisting of posts and an iron rail was placed south of the church, along the front of the cemetery, but has since been removed. In this same year George P. Allen was authorized to "put up seats in the church in front of the square body, in front of the singers and on the south side of each entry. At that time four seats were added behind the nine center seats shown in the records of 1851. (Treasurer's record for 1859 shows thirteen seats in center of church and fourteen on either side.) In the years 1859 and 1860 the rear seat on the south side was reserved as a free seat for colored persons. At that time the church was heated by two stoves, one in the northeast and one in the southeast corners.
At a commemorative service held on Wednesday, September 6, 1871 many gifts were made to the church, the donors of which are
[3]]
unknown, these included: - Wall decorations of chancel in poly- chrome; the four oil paintings in the four panels of the reredos; the silver flagon and silver paten now used; prayer books for the altar; the pulpit desk and a pulpit frontal, in crimson and gold; two sets of candle branches for the reredos; a set of altar linen and a pair of crystal vases.
The present Font was presented in 1884 by members of the Marshall family, as a memorial to a member of the family, and the old wooden Font stand was then used as a credence table.
On April 26, 1886 the church accepted a legacy from the estate of Phineas S. Bradley, who had for many years been a Warden, on condition that it be used for the expenses of the parish and that his heirs be allowed the use of his seat, number six on the south side, for five years from the date of his decease.
The Alms Basin was presented to the church by the Litchfield Archdeaconry on May 7, 1890 when the Rector-elect Rev. J. Chauncey Linsley was advanced to the priesthood in St. Paul's.
The Lectern was a gift from the Friendly Helpers Society in memory of former deceased Rectors and was presented on St. Paul's Day 1891. On Easter Day 1891 the Altar Cross was present- ed in memory of Phineas S. Bradley.
In 1893 an organ was presented to St. Paul's by St. George's Church in New York City and the cost of installation was paid by Mr. W. Gayer Dominick. This organ was used until 1904 when it was replaced by the present organ, a gift from Mrs. Percy Griffin and Mrs. Oliver Cowles, a brass tablet on front of which reads: - - "This Organ is Dedicated to the Glory of God and given in loving Memory of the Cowles Family." The new organ was so much larger
than the one formerly used it was necessary to enlarge the choir loft and on June 25, 1905 Mr. E. W. Pond was appointed to solicit funds for this purpose and in the same year this work was done by removing two seats from the rear of the center row, cutting them in half and placing them on the north and south sides, which accounts for the fact that there are three seats No. 12 and two seats No. 13 on the north side and two seats No. 13 on the south side.
The following year the church was wired for electricity by F. F. Hitchcock through the generosity of Mrs. Edward Leavitt who, with her husband, furnished the paint for the outside of the church in 1907, at which time three maple trees which formerly stood south of the church were removed.
[32]
The large bible now on the Lectern was presented in 1910 by Mr. George C. White in memory of his wife Cordelia Curtiss White "who was born in 1843, married in 1867, laid at rest in 1887 within sight of this church".
The present Altar, replacing the one used from 1854 and which now stands in the Vestry room, was presented by Rev. George T. Linsley in 1912 and in the same year Mrs. Anna De Witt Marshall Dominick presented Altar Book, Prayer Book and Hymnal; Noble Allen presented the Hymn Board; Mr. Henry Truman the Hymn Board letters and numerals and Mrs. Paul Bronson the glass vases and window screens.
In 1924 the horse sheds, which were in a bad state of repair, were removed and later that year the Marshall family presented the tablet which is on the south wall of the Sanctuary inside the chan- cel rail and which is engraved with a copy of the inscription on the tombstone of the Rev. John Rutgers Marshall and that of his wife Sarah Bryant Marshall whose burial places are close behind the church.
In 1926 the Friendly Helpers Society made changes in the seats in the southwest corner of the church, turning the seats lengthwise of the church, in memory of a member of the choir, Miss Lena Smith. These seats were used for some time thereafter by the choir. It is interesting to note that these seats are now in much the same position as they were when originally built by Mr. Hezekiah Thompson and the Rev. John Rutgers Marshall and doubly inter- esting when one considers that, at the time of her death, Miss Smith resided with her grandfather in the house formerly owned and occupied by Mr. Hezekiah Thompson.
The cushions now in the church were donated by the Parish Aid Society with the aid of a substantial cash gift from Mrs. William Pollock of New York in 1927.
The Credence Bracket was placed in the Sanctuary in 1928 by Mr. and Mrs. William H. Minor in memory of their daughter, Miss Marguerite Minor and on May 13, 1928 the prayer desk at the foot of the chancel steps was presented as a memorial to Antoinette Judson by her husband George Hurd Benham, who on Easter Day 1930 presented the Litany book now on this desk.
There is no record of the date the first heating plant was placed in the church but the present heating system was installed by the Hitchcock Co. in the autumn of 1929 at a cost of $675.
[33]
The prayer book on the Altar in memory of Mary Treat Andrews and the prayer book on the prayer desk in memory of Launcelot and Virginia Shea were presented on Easter Day 1930. Two Hym- nals, one on the Altar and the other on the prayer desk were pre- sented, in memory of George Hurd Benham, on Whitsunday 1930 by his daughters, Miss Edith L. Benham and Mrs. Nellie B. Cook.
A pair of copper Altar vases were presented in 1939 by Mr. and Mrs. William H. Minor in memory of their daughter Erma Minor Wells.
The Eucharistic Candle Sticks were a present to St. Paul's Church from Marshall Rutgers Kernochan, a great, great, grandson of Rev. John Rutgers Marshall. The pair of brass Altar vases were presented by Cornelia Ellsworth Marshall in memory of Cornelia E. C. Marshall. The larger Altar prayer book was presented in memory of Julia Perry Marshall. No dates are available on the above.
The original pewter Communion Service used by the Episcopal Society in Woodbury, consisting of Flagon, two Plates and one Beaker, is now on display, along with a large number of old Com- munion Services, in the Pottery room of the Morgan Memorial Building in Hartford, Conn.
On the north wall of the church, near the Font is a bronze plaque, placed May 23, 1940, bearing these words: - "The Daughters of Cincinnati dedicate this tablet to the memory of the Reverend Alexander Hamilton. Their Chaplain for thirty-four years. Rector of this Parish 1909-1915".
As you enter the church the first memorial window in the upper row South side is in memory of Gideon B. Botsford and Mary E. Botsford, placed by their son Frederick Botsford. No date. The second window is in memory of Benjamin and Betsy Collier Doo- little. This window was placed in 1899 by their heirs. The third is the Bradley Memorial window. No date. The fourth is in memory of Ephriam Peck and Betsy Porter Peck. No date.
The fourth window in the lower row South side is in memory of Benjamin Curtis Peck and Hannah Brothwell Peck. Placed by their heirs in 1906.
The first window in the upper row, North side is plain glass. The second is in memory of Moody-Douglass. No date. The third is in memory of Rev. Wm. Preston, D.D. No date. The fourth window is in memory of J. O. Orton. No date.
[34]
In the North wall of the chancel is a window in memory of Rev. John Rutgers Marshall containing this inscription: - "Rev. John R. Marshall Missionary of S.P.G. and first Rector of this Church, presented by his grandchildren." In the South wall of the chancel is a round window, the design, a triangle superimposed on the tre- foil or intertwined circles, comprise a familiar symbol for the Trin- ity. The Hebrew letters in the center of the triangle are to be translated by the English word "Jehovah".
Services have been held in the present church building, continu- ously since November 28, 1787, except for a short time during the alterations in 1854, when they were held in the Lecture room of the First Congregational Society.
In January 1928 a movement was started by the Rector, Rev. L. E. Todd, to build a Parish House on the land on the northerly side of the church, where the horse sheds had formerly stood. At a Special Town Meeting held March 26, 1928 it was voted: - That the Selectmen be authorized to sell, to St. Paul's Episcopal Society, land described as follows: - Commencing where the said Society's land joins the parcel on the Main St. and running in a Westerly direction on the line of said society and of the cemetery 138 feet more or less, thence in a Northerly direction 26 feet, thence in a Northeasterly and Easterly direction to said Main St. thence along line of said Main St., to point of beginning.
The Senior Warden, Mr. T. L. Shea, paid one dollar for the land and for recording deed for same. On November 16, 1928 it was voted that steps be taken toward building the Parish House at a cost not to exceed $8000. On December 14 Mr. George H. Benham was appointed chairman of a committee to raise funds to build the Parish House. On January 24, 1929 Mr. Benham reported that he had received pledges amounting to $1740. At the present time 1940 the fund together with accumulated interest amounts to approx- imately $3500 and the completion of this worthy and necessary project is held up due to lack of funds. Miss Edith L. Benham of North Woodbury, Connecticut is Treasurer of the Parish House Fund.

CHAPTER VI CELEBRATIONS IN ST. PAUL'S
VARIOUS celebrations have taken place in ancient St. Paul's Church. The Diocesan Convention was held here on June 1, 1814.
Bishop Hobart visited St. Paul's in 1816 and 1817 and Bishop Brownell, in the years from 1820 to 1850.
At a service on September 3, 1829, the Rev. William H. Lucas was ordained Priest by Bishop Brownell.
At a service at St. Paul's on February 12, 1857, the Rev. Curtiss T. Woodruff was ordained Priest and T. G. Carver and George R. Davis were ordained Deacons. The Rev. Messrs. B. W. Stone, J. Townsend, Seth Davis, C. I. Potter, J. M. Wiley, T. K. Miller and Dr. Holcomb took part in the service. Nine were confirmed, includ- ing Mr. Robinson, a Congregational Minister.
The Centennial celebration of the settlement of Rev. John Rut- gers Marshall, in Woodbury, by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel was held at St. Paul's on September 6, 1871. Bishop Williams, Bishop A. R. P. Venable of Nassau and fifteen members of the clergy took part in the celebration.
On March 27, 1883, the Centennial of the election of Bishop Seabury was celebrated.
Bishop Williams visited the church during the years from 1852 to 1894 and was instrumental in having the Old Glebe House pur- chased from its private owners in 1892.
One of the largest celebrations in the history of the church was held on May 7, 1890, when the Rector-elect, Rev. J. Chauncey Linsley was ordained Priest and a class of thirty-two candidates received the rite of Confirmation. This celebration was attended by a large number of the clergy and many gifts were presented to the church, including the present Alms Basin, which was presented by the Litchfield Archdeaconry.
During the Rectorship of Rev. Alexander Hamilton, in 1915, the Rt. Rev. Anthony Mitchell, D.D., Lord Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney, and successor to the consecrators of Bishop Seabury; his Chaplain, the Rev. Charles Richard Davey Biggs, D.D., vicar of St. Philip and St. James, Oxford; the Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Brew- ster, D.D., Bishop of Connecticut, were the distinguished guests
[37]
at a service at St. Paul's. The service was read by Archdeacon Humphrey of Roxbury, from the ancient prayer book used by the first Rector.
On June 30, 1925, more than eight hundred persons attended the services of the opening of the Old Glebe House after its restora- tion. After the church service, which included the dedication of the Marshall tablet, the vested choir, followed by the clergy in their vestments, the Ministers of the other churches in town, including the late Rev. J. L. R. Wyckoff, Bishop Acheson, Bishop Brewster and the Rector, Rev. L. E. Todd, marched through the cemetery to the Glebe House for the formal opening. A large number of the clergy of the state attended. Among the congregation was a des- cendant of the Masters family, who once owned the Glebe House, and descendants of Bishop Seabury, Bishop Jarvis, Rev. John Rutgers Marshall, and Bishop Skinner, one of the consecraters of Bishop Seabury.
A commemoration of the one hundred forty-third anniversary of the consecration of Bishop Seabury was held at St. Paul's Church on November 14, 1927. The hymn used, "To satisfy and cheer our souls", was sung at the consecration of Bishop Seabury on Novem- ber 14, 1784. Psalm number forty-eight, which was sung at the first celebration of Holy Communion by the settlers in Jamestown in 1607, was also used at this service. The Bishop of Aberdeen, Scotland, Rt. Rev. F. L. Deane; Rev. Erskine Hill, provost of Aberdeen Cathedral; Bishop Brewster and Bishop Acheson took part in the service. E. H. Sheppard, organist of Trinity Church, Waterbury, was at the organ. The crowd at this service was so great that only a part of them could get into the church and the Bishop of Aberdeen addressed the remainder from the steps of the church. Fifty members of the clergy were present. The offering, which amounted to $2300.00, was sent to Aberdeen to assist in the rebuilding of the Cathedral.
The one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the election of Bishop Seabury was celebrated at St. Paul's on March 25, 1933, with a special service in which Bishop Brewster, Bishop Acheson, Bishop Budlong, Bishop Manning of New York, Bishop Burleson, assis- tant to the presiding Bishop, took part. In the afternoon a pageant, depicting the incidents connected with the history of the church and the election of Bishop Seabury, was presented by the clergy of Connecticut and residents of Woodbury, including First Selectman Charles S. Curtiss. The crowd was so large that, although the
[38]
pageant was presented twice and the church was filled to capacity each time, many persons were unable to see it. The parts of the ten electors were taken by the successors of the original electors and included Rev. Floyd Appleton, Woodbury; Rev. F.F. German, Middletown; Rev. John R. Jones, Brooklyn; Rev. Charles O. Scoville, New Haven; Rev. Charles W. Hubon, Derby; Rev. Thomas Richey, Norwich; Rev. Donald W. Greene, Wallingford; Rev. Culbert McGay, New Milford; and Rev. John V. R. McKen- zie, Huntington.
The celebration of the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the building of the present church, was held on July 14, 1935.
Old Home Sunday was observed in St. Paul's on August 13, 1939. The Rev. Dr. J. Chauncey Linsley preached the eleven o'clock sermon and told of the coming of the Church of England to Connecticut and to Woodbury in particular. This service also marked the fiftieth anniversary of the coming of Dr. Linsley, as deacon, to St. Paul's. There were approximately two hundred persons present.
On May 7, 1940, Rev. J. Chauncey Linsley, D.D., was the cele- brant at a service of Holy Communion, marking the fiftieth anni- versary of his ordination into the Priesthood at St. Paul's. Also, present at this service, were ten persons out of the class of thirty- two, who were confirmed by Bishop Williams at Dr. Linsley's ordination in 1890.
At the Bicentennial celebration of Christ Church, Roxbury, held on June 16, 1940, a field stone marker, with a bronze tablet attached, was dedicated at the site of the first Episcopal church in ancient Woodbury, in that part, which is now Roxbury.
On July 14, 1940, there will be a Bicentennial celebration of the founding of the Episcopal Society in Woodbury.
