The second meeting-house was built in 1791. It remained many years after the meetings were dis- continued. Its location was secluded and singularly attractive. It was surrounded and shaded by ancient forest trees, and stood amid the graves of the wor- shippers of successive generations, some of them buried without reference to family relationship, and with graves marked simply by rough head-stones. It was of two stories, the upper floor being upon three sides a gallery, connected with the lower by an oblong opening in the centre. On a part of the lower floor were elevated seats for ministers, elders and over- seers. The men were separated from the women by a partition, the upper part of which was hung on hinges so as to open and form one audience-room. The object of this partition was to separate the sexes at the business meetings, the women as well as the men holding a meeting of their own, the two being theoretically upon an equality. The house was taken down about twelve years ago.

In 1826, according to Washburn's history, the so- ciety had about one hundred and twenty members. This number was probably never exceeded. The last minister of the Gospel, recognized by the Yearly Meeting, who was a member of the Leicester Meeting,

as Avis Swift, wife of Josiah Keene. She resided Leicester from about 1812 to 1820. She was born Nantucket, and was " a woman of much religious xperience, of superior intellectual powers and of a urge intelligence, and was greatly beloved by all who ad the privilege of her acquaintance." She after- ard lived in Lynn, where she died. In consequence f the removal of members from town, the society be- ame reduced in numbers and the meetings were dis- ontinned in 1853.

The Quakers, as the Friends are generally called, ere averse to public life. They could not conscien- ously take or administer an oath, and they were riginally disposed to separate themselves as much s practicable from "the world's people." This dis- osition diminished with the lapse of years. Dr. Pliny Carle, to whom we are indebted for most of the facts f this history, truthfully says that " during the first uarter of the current century a no inconsiderable art of the most intelligent and highly cultivated ociety in the town was to be found among them." Carly in the last century they in theory and practice enounced slavery. They were in this respect evidently harmony with the sentiment of the people of the own, which found, as we have seen, an early and mphatic public expression. The Friends, however, rere first to adopt the anti-slavery principle as one f the canons of their organization, and remained rne to that principle in all the struggle.

In 1827, May 15th, a boarding and day school for oung ladies was opened at the house of Pliny Earle, ituated at the junction of Mulberry and Earle Streets, nd continued till 1839. It was known as the " Mul- erry Grove School," and was taught by Sarah Earle nd her sisters Lucy and Eliza; the farm-house near being used for the recitation rooms. Sarah Earle was principal till her marriage, in 1832, when she was suc- eeded by Eliza. The French language and painting vere taught; but it was professedly an English school, nd the instruction was characterized by great horoughness. The public examinations were in the Friends' meeting-house. At one of them Governor Emory Washburn, being present, remarked that he ad often heard of the excellence of the school, but 'the half had not been told."

GREENVILLE BAPTIST CHURCH .- Some of the first ettlers in Leicester were Baptists, and among them Dr. Thomas Green. He was dismissed from the First Baptist Church in Boston to aid in forming a church n Sutton in 1735. At least eight other persons re- iding in Leicester,-Thomas Richardson, Daniel Denny, Elisha Nevers, Martha Green, Joshua Nichols Abiathar Vinton, Bathsheba Nevers and Lydia Vin- on-had been baptized in Sutton and Leicester by a Baptist minister, named John Converse, three years before. On the 28th of September, 1737, Dr. Green nd Benjamin Marsh were ordained associate pastors f the church in Sutton, "and September 28, 1738, y mutual agreement, the brethren in Leicester be- 45

came a church by themselves, and Green their pas- tor." (" Backns' History," vol. ii., page 31.)

Since its organization the pastors of the church have been Thomas Green, 1738-73 ; Benjamin Fos- ter, D.D., 1776-82; Isaac Beall, 1783-88; Nathan Dana, 1794-97 ; Peter Rogers, 1803-13; Benjamin N. Harris, 1827-30; John Green, 1830-40; Moses Har- rington, 1840-49 ; L. O. Lovell, 1856-58 ; H. C. Estes, 1860-62; N. B. Cooke, 1862-68; L. Holmes, 1869-76; J. Sawyer, 1876-77; J. W. Searle, 1877-81; A. W. Spaulding, 1882-86; H. C. Estes, D.D., 1886. Dr. Estes was graduated from Waterville College (now Colby University) in 1847.

Dr. Thomas Green was a man of great ability, prominence and influence. He was largely engaged in business and remarkably successful. He was a physician, eminent in his profession, with a prac- tice that extended into neighboring States, and with many medical students under his instruction. And he was quite as distinguished and successful in his work of the ministry. After his death it was said of him in an English periodical that he had bap- tized not less than one thousand persons. The Rev. Isaac Backus, the historian of the Baptists in New England, visited him in 1756, held a meeting with his people, and the next day wrote the following words in his journal : "Oct. 19th. I can but admire how the doctor is able to get along as he does, having a great deal of farming business to manage, multitudes of sick to take care of, several appren- tices to instruct in the art of physic, and a church to care for and watch over ; yet in the midst of all he seems to keep religion uppermost-to have his mind bent upon divine things-and to be very bold in Christian conversation with all sorts of people."

His successor, Dr. Foster, was ordained October 23, 1776. In January of that year he had married Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Dr. Green. He was a graduate of Yale College, and distinguished for his learning, faithfulness and successful work. Under his ministry the church was much enlarged and strengthened. He was the author of two learned works published while he preached in Leicester, and in recognition of the ability shown in another work published later, he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Brown University in 1792. After having been pastor of the First Baptist Church in New York ten years, he died there of yellow fever in 1798, at the age of forty-eight years.

Under the ministry of the Rev. John Green the church enjoyed much prosperity. In those ten . years the additions were ninety-six, and the mem- bership was increased to eighty, the largest in its history, though at one time in Dr. Forbes' minis- try the number of members was seventy-six. The membership is now fifty-four.

When the church has been without a settled min- ister it has often had valuable stated supplies from ministers living in Worcester or elsewhere: Nathan

Price, 1799; Ebenezer Burt, 1802-3; Benjamin M. Hill, 1816-18; Luther Goddard, 1821; Ebenezer Burt, 1824-25 ; Otis Converse, 1850-51 ; John F. Bur- bank, 1852-53; N. Hervey, 1854-56.

Benjamin M. Hill was a distinguished man, not yet ordained when he preached in Leicester, but afterwards pastor in New Haven, Ct., and Troy, N. Y., nearly twenty years, then corresponding secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society twenty- three years, and widely known and honored as the Rev. Dr. Hill, who died in 1881.

In 1747 the church had a house of worship already built and occupied, which, with its grounds and the cemetery adjoining, two acres in extent, was the gift of Dr. Green, of whom, after his decease, the his- torian, Isaac Backus, said, " He was the main support of his society in temporals and spirituals all his days." That house was repaired in 1779 at a cost of three hundred and fifty pounds, and again it was re- paired and enlarged in 1824; then, after it had been occupied more than a hundred and ten years, it was replaced by a new and attractive house, with organ, bell and clock, which was dedicated in 1860 and is now occupied.

The Sunday-school was commenced in 1821. At first it was held in the afternoon "after meetings." For several years its numbers were few, sometimes ten, sometimes twenty-five and, like most Sunday- schools of that time, it was suspended during the winter. But, in 1829 and 1830, it received a sudden and surprising impul-e. In the latter year its num- ber of scholars was increased to eighty, and in 1834 it rose to one hundred and sixty. Since then the school has numbered about one hundred-sometimes more, sometimes less.

On Friday, the 28th of September, 1888, the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the church, commemorative services were held, in which the Green family, descendants of the first pastor, took part ; and an interesting feature of the exercises was the presentation of a fine brass tablet, which had been placed upon the wall by the H. n. Andrew H. Green, of New York, in memory of his distinguished ancestor, Dr. Thomas Green.

SECOND CONGREGATIONAL SOCIETY .- "In the au- tumn and winter of 1832-33," says Washburn, in his "History of Leicester," "several families in the town formed a Unitarian Religious Society." In April, 1833, sixteen gentlemen-among whom were Waldo Flint, Isaac Southgate, Joseph D. Sargent, John Whittemore, Dwight Bisco, Lyman Waite, Silas Gleason and Edward Flint-applied to be incorporated as " The Second Congregational Society in Leicester," and received incorporation on the 13th of said month. From that time forward regular services of worship were held in the old Town Hall, and in June, 1834, the society gave a unanimous call to Rev. Samuel May, of Boston, to become their minister, which he accepted. On the 12th of August following

their new meeting-house was dedicated, when Rev. James Walker, of Charlestown, preached the sermon ; and, on the following day, Mr. May was ordained by an ecclesiastical council, of which Rev. Dr. Aaron Bancroft, of Worcester, was moderator. The sermon of ordination was by Rev. F. W. P. Greenwood, of King's Chapel, Boston ; the ordaining prayer by Dr. Bancroft ; the charge by Rev. Dr. Charles Lowell, of Boston, and the right hand of fellowship by Rev. Samnel J. May, then of Brooklyn, Conn. A church of twelve members had already been gathered. The sermons of Rev. Messrs. Walker and Greenwood were printed in a neat pamphlet. Mr. May continued minister for twelve years, and in the summer of 1846 resigned the office. Since his time the changes in the ministry have been many ; but the society has been sustained by an honorable devotedness on the part of its members, and the list of its ministers includes the names of men of eminent ability. Those whose terms were of two years or more duration were as follows : Rev. Frederick Hinckley, 1847-48; Rev. James Thompson, D.D., who had just closed a long and prosperous ministry in Barre, 1849-51; Rev. Wm. Coe, of Worcester, 1351-54; Rev. Joseph Angier, of Milton, 1855 and 1856; Rev. F. Macintyre, of Grafton, 1858-59; Rev. James Thurston, 1862-64; Rev. J. J. Putnam, of Worcester, 1864-65. In 1866 considerable changes were made in the interior of the meeting-house, on the completion of which Rev. Everett Finley became minister, February, 1867, and continned until his death, which occurred early in 1869. His body lies buried in Leicester, in Pine Grove Cemetery. In July, 1869, Rev. David H. Montgomery became minister, and so continued eight years. Rev. S. B. Weston followed. During his ministry a question arose as to the application of the trust fund left to the society by Isaac Sonthgate, Esq., which being, by mutual agreement, referred to arbi- tration, it was decided unanimously that the fund was not available in Mr. Weston's case. Mr. Weston received the decision with honorable good feeling, resigning his office in 1881. It was not until 1883 that the society were prepared to settle a minister ; but in September of that year Rev. Lewis G. Wilson was ordained by an ecclesiastical council, of which Rev. Dr. A. A. Livermore, of Meadville, Penn., was moderator. Mr. Wilson continned two years. Rev. Rodney F. Johonnot was ordained in September, 1886, and his ministry continued until September, 1888.

CHRIST CHURCH, ROCHDALE .- The fiftieth anni- versary of Christ Church in Rochdale was celebrated July 4, 1873. The sermon of the rector, Rev. B. F. Cooley, preached on that occasion, gives the history of the church to that date. " Divine service, accord- ing to the Liturgy of the Protestant Episcopal Church, was performed for the first time in Leicester, Mass., and for the first time, it is believed. in Wor- cester County, on the sixth day of July, 1823." The

church owed its origin to Mrs. Ann Wilby, an Eng- ish lady who came to Leicester in 1822. She was buried under her pew in the church in 1826. Her family, with that of Mr. James Anderton, were the only Episcopalians in town. Services were for some time held in the hall of Hezekiah Stone's tavern.

The church building was erected in 1824, first oc- cupied on Easter Sunday, April 18, and consecrated May 26 by Right Rev. Alexander V. Griswold, D.D. Rev. Joseph Muenscher, D.D., became minister of the parish March 14, 1824. He resigned the cure March 10, 1827. He was also the village school- teacher. He was born in Providence, R. I., Decem- ber 21, 1798, and graduated from Brown University in 1821, and Andover Theological Seminary in 1825. His marriage to Ruth, daughter of Joseph Wash- burn, was the first solemnized in a church, according to the Episcopal form, in Worcester County. Among the positions afterwards held by him was that of Pro- fessor of Sacred Literature, and later, Instructor in Hebrew in the Episcopal Theological Seminary, Gambier, Ohio. He was succeeded by Rev. Wil- liam Horton, D.D. Rev. Lot Jones hecame rec- tor in June, 1827. He was afterwards rector of the Church of the Epiphany in New York. He died in Philadelphia in 1865, while in attendance upon the General Convention, in consequence of a fall upon the steps of St. Luke's Church. Rev. C. Millett became minister in 1833. He was afterwards rector of the parish in Beloit, Wis. In August, 1834, Rev. Henry Blackaller became rector. He resigned in the spring of 1838. He died June 21, 1862, at the age of sixty-nine. Rev. Eleazer A. Greenleaf im- mediately succeeded him, remaining one year. Rev. Jolın T. Sabine was minister one year, beginning in 1839. He died March 15, 1851, aged sixty-one. Rev. William Withington became minister in February, 1840, and remained one year. He was succeeded for one year by Rev. Fernando C. Putnam. From 1842 to 1844 the church had no rector, but was under the missionary charge of Rev. Orange Clark, D.D., who also ministered to the churches in Hopkinton and Montague. This was a period of great depression, but the church was "saved from utter ruin by the occasional missionary services of Dr. Clark and a few staunch churchmen on the spot." Rev. James L. Scott became minister in October, 1845, being or- dained to the deaconate and priesthood here, after acting as lay reader for nearly fourteen months. He retired in April, 1849. Rev. J. Hill Rowse was rector from June 10, 1849, until his death, July, 1870. Dur- ing his absence of three years as chaplain in the army, Rev. William B. Colburn and Rev. R. S. Paine officiated.

Rev. B. F. Cooley, his successor, resigned October 1, 1875. Rev. S. R. Bailey followed in the autumn of the same year, and retired October 1, 1879. Rev. Thomas W. Nickerson came to the church February 8, 1880, and is still its minister, his rectorship being

the longest in the history of the church, with the ex- ception of that of Rev. Mr. Rowse.

Rev. Mr. Rowse was chaplain in the Foster Gen- eral Hospital, in Newbern, N. C. He was in that city in September, 1864, when it was visited with yellow fever. Says Captain J. W. Denny, then in command of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, "We met Chaplain Rowse, a faithful, earnest chaplain among the soldiers; he looked worn out. He said he had buried thirteen soldiers that forenoon, and as many waited his offices. We said to him, 'Chaplain, you are not able to do this work ; you look worn out, and ought to leave immediately in order to save your own life.' 'No,' replied the chaplain, 'I am sick and weary. Some one may be called upon to bury me next, but I must not leave these soldiers; if I must die, I will die at my post of duty.'"1 He had the fever, but recovered.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH .- In the fall of 1842 a series of meetings, continuing eight weeks, was held in the town hall, under direction of Rev. Horace Moulton, of Oxford. In these services he was assisted by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Moulton, a woman of great religious fervor and zeal.

As the result of these efforts, a Methodist Episcopal Church was organized October 15, 1844. The first minister of this church was Rev. William C. Clark.

In 1845, in consequence of differences of opinion with reference to the Episcopal mode of church administration, and the duty of the church in relation to slavery and temperance, the church was divided, and a Wesleyan Methodist Church was organized. The Methodist Episcopal Church then removed to Cherry Valley, and a house of worship was erected for it in 1846. The funds for building were sub- scribed by persons of different denominatious, who recognized the need of religious services in Cherry Valley, and the control of the church was committed to trustees. It was stipulated in the compact that it was to be "a house of religious worship for the use of the ministers and members of, and the friends of, the Methodist Episcopal Church in said Leicester, according to the rules and discipline of said Church in the United States of America, except the First Calvinistic Congregational Church of said Leicester, or the Episcopalians of Cherry Valley, shall wish to occupy every other Sunday night for a third reli- gious service, in which case they shall have the right."

This house was burned in February, 1856, and re- built by the trustees.

The appointments for the ministry of this church have been-Revs. George Dunbar, J. T. Pettel, George F. Pool, T. W. Lewis, D. Z. Kilgore, W. B. Olds, Daniel Atkins, G. E. Chapman, J. W. P. Jor- dan, Albert Gould, from 1859 to '60; W. F. La- comb, from 1861 to '62, who enlisted as a member of

Mesler, 1887 to '88.

In 1867 a Methodist Episcopal Church was formed in the Centre, worshipping in the Wesleyan Methodist Church. This church continued to hold services and receive ministers appointed by the Conference for a few years, when it was merged in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Cherry Valley, the appointee of that church preaching at the Centre Sunday after- noons. The ministers have been Revs. Mr. Chase, Frederick M. Miller, L. P. Causey, Samuel F. Fuller, Eratus Burlingham and H. D. Weston.

WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH .- After the sep- aration in 1845, those who objected to the Episco- pacy, and the position of the Methodist Episcopal Church on the subject of slavery and temperance, organized themselves into a Wesleyan Methodist Church, March 1, 1845. The pastor, Rev. Wm. C. Clark, remained with this church, and, indeed, was the active agent in securing its organization. His successors were Rev. Messrs. Christopher C. Mason, David Mason, Simeon E. Pike, J. A. Gibson, Thomas Williams and Benjamin N. Bullock.

The house of worship on Pleasant Street was dedi- cated July 15, 1846. The services were entirely sus- pended in 1861.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH .- The first Roman Catholic Church in town was St. Polycarp's, and was erected in 1854, half a mile east of Strawberry Hill. The corner stone of the present church, St. Joseph's, was laid on the same site, September 1, 1867, Rev. Robert W. Brady, president of Holy Cross College, officiating. The church was dedicated January 2, 1870, Right Rev. John J. Williams, present Arch- bishop of Boston, officiating. The old church was taken down and moved to Rochdale during 1869, and was dedicated as St. Aloysius' Church. Novem- ber 21st of the same year, Right Rev. John J. Wil- liams officiating There was no resident pastor of the parish until August 1, 1880. The two churches were attended by the Jesuit Fathers from Holy Cross College, Worcester, in the following order : January, 1854, Rev. Peter Kroes ; Angust, 1856, Rev. J. C. Moore, S. J .; August, 1857, Rev. P. M. Jolehi, S. J .; Jannary, 1858, Rev. Engene Veterneli ; Octo- ber, 1859, Rev. A. F. Ciampi, S. J .; August, 1861, Rev. J. B. Gafney, S. J .; January, 1864, Rev. J. B. O'Hagan, S. J .; August, 1864, Rev. Charles Kelly, S. J .; Angust, 1867, Rev. P. V. McDermott, S. J .; June, 1869, Rev. J. B. O'Hagan, S. J .; September, 1870, Rev. A. J. Ciampi, S. J .; Jannary, 1871, Rev. Albert Peters, S. J .; August, 1872, Rev. W. F. Ham-

ilton, S. J .; August, 1873, Rev. P. J. Blenkinsop, S. J. These clergymen were generally educated in Eu- rope, as they were Jesuit Fathers and professors at the college. Some of them were men of eminent scholarship.

Rev. D. F. McGrath became the priest of the par- ish Angust 1, 1880. He was born in Milford, Mass., August 15, 1848 ; graduated from Holy Cross College in 1870, and from Grand Seminary, in Montreal, in 1873. When he came to the parish it was incnm- bered with a debt of six thousand five hundred dol- lars, which was increased to fourteen thousand five hundred dollars in remodeling and repairing the church, building a fine parsonage and by accompany- ing expenses. This was the amount of indebtedness January 1, 1884. By February 1, 1888, this debt was entirely paid, and all the parish property, including eighteen acres of land, is held free of indebtedness.

According to a census taken in January, 1888, by Father McGrath and his assistant, Father Kenney, there were in town three hundred and twelve Roman Catholic families, with a total of one thousand five hundred and thirty-six persons attached to St. Joseph's and St. Aloysius' Parishes.

ST. THOMAS CHURCH. - In the year 1873 the Rev. B. F. Cooley, rector of Christ Church, Rochdale, commenced service in the Methodist Church in Cherry Valley, on Sunday afternoons. These services were continued for several years by him and his successor, Rev. S. R. Bailey. The first service and also later services on week-days were held in the house of Mr. Cheney Barton, in which the Rev. H. Blackaller had held similar services more than thirty- five years before. The church was afterward made a mission of St. Matthew's Church, Worcester, which relation it still holds, although it has been self-sup- porting since 1886.

Rev. E. Osgood took charge, probably in the autumn of 1878, and continued until early in the year 1881. The Rev. Julius Waterberry was in charge from 1881 to 1882. He was a beautiful singer, a man of culture, of wide information, and pleasing and refined manners. He died in Boston, on Good Fri- day, 1882, and his memory is cherished with affection by the members of his charge. It was while he was connected with the church that "Shamrock Hall " began to be used as the place of worship.

He was succeeded by Rev. H. Hague, the present incumbent, who assumed charge on the first Sunday of August, 1882.

The church was built in 1884, and consecrated February 14, 1885, by Bishop W. R. Huntington, D.D., of Grace Church, New York. Since that time a pipe-organ has been placed in the church. The church contains five memorial windows, one of them in memory of Rev. Julius H. Waterherry.

The mission was first named "The House of Prayer," but in 1884 it was changed to "St. Thomas' Church."

ALTHOUGH in the original legislative title of the wn provision was made for school-houses, no action pears to have been taken upon the subject till the st day of the year 1731. It was then voted "to hoose a committee of three to provide a school- aster ; and that the said committee agree with a man keep school for three months, and no longer; and at the school be kept in three parts of the town, so ; may be most for the conveniency of the inhabitants' hildren going to school." The sum of $8.75 was propriated to meet the expense. He was to teach e children to "reed and wright." His own educa- on, such as it was, must have been acquired with- it much help from teachers, as he probably came to wn where there were no schools, when less than ten ears of age. This provision was for the whole of eicester and Spencer. The next year there was no hool, and the town was called to account before the quarter Sessions. The sum of $17.50 was appropriated e next winter, and after a delay of nearly a year, the me teacher was employed, and taught three months at 3.75 per month in the house of Mr. Jonathan Sar- ent, opposite the spot where the Catholic Church now ands. The next winter Mr. Lynde taught in three ifferent places, one month in each place. "If the wn employed him any more, they was to come to ew tarms."
