The prudential committee of the church is composed of S. W. Allis, Chester K. Waite, and Salmon P. White. Porter Wells is the parish clerk.

THE SECOND CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHI

was organized, by a council, Nov. 10, 1842, and was composed of members who had withdrawn from the First Church. The original number was 17, and 105 were reported in 1848. The church was very prosperous for a number of years, but re- movals and dismissions impaired its strength to such an extent that on the 28th of January, 1864, it was disbanded, most of the remaining members uniting with the old church, which had already absorbed a great deal of its strength.

The church had two pastors. The first, the Rev. Jonathan S. Judd, was ordained Oct. 12, 1843, and, after a very success- ful pastorate, was dismissed Oct. 23, 1855. He was a native of

Westhampton, and descended from the Rev. Jonathan Judd's family. Ile graduated at Williams College in 1839, and at East Windsor in 1842. From Whately he went to Middle- hury, Conn., where he died, May 11, 1864.

The Rev. Charles Lord, the second pastor, was installed March 20, 1856, and dismissed Jan. 14, 1860. He graduated at Amherst in 1838 and at Andover in 1842, and before com- ing to Whately had served as a missionary.

The meeting-house was erected in the summer of 1843, and enlarged in 1867 by the First Church, which has used it as a place of worship since that period. It is attractive in its ap- pearance, and is supplied with a thousand-dollar pipe-organ.

The Congregational ministers who were natives of Whately have been the following : Rev. Alvan Sanderson was born Dec. 13, 1780; graduated at Williams College in 1802; was licensed to preach in 1804, and ordained an evangelist in 1807. Ile became pastor of the church in Ashfield in 1808; founded Sanderson Academy, and died there in 1817.

Rev. Perez Chapin was born in Whately, April 29, 1783, but removed before 1797. He graduated at Middlebury, Vt., in 1808, and was licensed to preach in 1810; was ordained pastor at Pownal, Me., March 20, 1811, and died there in that capacity in 1839.

Rev. Pomeroy Belden was born in Whately in 1811; grad- uated at Amherst in 1833, and at Andover in 1836; was or- dained an evangelist at Warwiek in 1837, and died while the pastor of the East Amherst Church, March, 1849.

Rev. Lucius W. Chapman was born in Whately, Jan. 7, 1820; studied at Shelburne Falls Academy ; was licensed a Baptist minister in Pennsylvania in 1842, but became a Pres- byterian in 1849.

Rev. Rufus Porter Wells, a grandson of the Rev. Rufus Wells, was born in Whately in 1818; graduated at Amherst in 1842; studied at Union Theologieal Seminary, N. Y .; was ordained pastor of the Jonesborough (East Tennessee) Presbyterian Church in 1850; suffered mueh persecution in the Rebellion, and was forced to flee for his life, finally settling in the North.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH OF WHATELY

was organized May 5, 1789, and originally embraced the twenty-five members who withdrew from the Congregational Church the year before, and others, living in the western part of the town, as follows : Silas Smith, Benjamin Smith, John Graves, Elisha Smith, Benjamin Bacon, Jesse Warner, Caleb Ward, Russell Wells, Simeon Dean, Russell Ellis, Elijah Warner, Joel Wright, Benoni Graves, Thomas Dickinson, Thomas Wild, John Stark, Abraham Olds, George Rogers, John Williams, Ruphy Warner, Stephen Green, Elisha Baker, Asa Todd, Adna Smith, Ephraim Fisher, Jonathan Bagley, Sarah Warner, Abigail Brown, Lois Graves, Lydia Frary, Mary Smith, E. C. Brown, Louisa Smith, Mary Brown, Elizabeth Smith, Jerusha Wells, Anna Tator, Jerusha Brown, Lovina Smith, Abigail Manson, Lydia Allen, Abigail Todd, Phebe Dean, Hagar Robbins, Elizabeth Fuller, Ruth Baker, Jemima Clark, Triphenia Stark, Anna Rogers, Marah Baker, Nancy Fisher, Miriam Cassell, Marion Church, Mary Wil- liams, and Saralı Gunn.

The meetings were first held in the school-house, but about 1790 an old-fashioned meeting-Itouse was erected on the Poplar Hill road. In 1817 the lower parts of the posts were cut off about four feet, and the house lowered and modernized. It was re-dedicated, October, 1817, by the Rev. David Pease. The house was demolished some years since.

July 6, 1789, Titus Doolittle, clerk of the Westfield Church, recommended Asa Todd, the first pastor, in the following letter : " Brother Asa Todd is in good and wholesome stand- ing, and of good report of them that are without sin." lle was ordained Sept. 9, 1789. The Rev. Stephen Barker was installed in 1807; Rev. John R. Goodnough, ordained Aug.

26, 1823; and Rev. Lorenzo Rice, Feb. 8, 1837. After this the Revs. James Parker and George Bills supplied the church, each two years ; and after a few years of abating interest, the church was disbanded, Aug. 23, 1850.

A METHIODIST SOCIETY

was proposed in the spring of 1818 by James Cutler, Moses Hill, Joel Wait (3d), and John Buel ; but beyond a statement of the purpose nothing further was done, although meetings were occasionally held about that time and at subsequent periods.

Rev. William Bardwell, a Methodist, was born in Whately, Oct. 13, 1813, and was ordained to the ministry in May, 1846. He died in 1851.

THE FIRST UNIVERSALIST SOCIETY IN WHATELY

was organized May 20, 1839, with Elihu Harvey, Clerk ; Charles Bardwell, Treasurer; E. G. Crafts, Elihu Harvey, David D. Gardiner, Standing Committee ; and Henry Smith, Collector.

The object of the society was stated as " being the promo- tion of truth and morality among its members, and also in the world at large; and as the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is calculated above all truth to inspire the heart with the enio- tions of benevolence and virtue, this society shall deem it one of the main objects to support the preaching of the Gospel according to the society's ability, and to aid in any other practicable way in spreading a knowledge of it among men."

The constitution was signed by Charles Bardwell, Elihu Harvey, Henry Smith, E. G. Crafts, Allen Belding, William Belding, Austin Crafts, Franklin Brown, Otis Moore, Joseph Belding, Josiah Jewett, Lathrop Smith, David Belding, Hor- ace Sanderson, Moses Morton, James M. Crafts, Chester Brown, Otis Bardwell, Benjamin Dean, James Moore, Isaac S. Harvey, David D. Wells, Graves Crafts, and Thomas Crafts.

Meetings were held in school-houses, the old Baptist Church, and the town-hall, the ministers being the Revs. John Peirce, L. W. Mason, Earl Guilford, John 11. Willis, William Wil- cox, and others. When the Unitarian Society was formed most of the members attached themselves to that body, and the Universalist Society was allowed to go down.

THE UNITARIAN CONGREGATIONAL SOCIETY

was formed Jan. 9, 1866, when a constitution and by-laws were adopted, but the first meeting of the persons entertaining that belief was held April 23, 1865, and the services were con- ducted by the Rev. J. F. Moors, of Greenfield. Regular preaching was established by the Rev. E. B. Fairchild, July 9, 1865. Jan. 17, 1866, the society elected its first officers, viz. : David D. Wells, Clerk ; Dennis Dickinson, Treasurer ; James Scott, Myron Brown, Alonzo Crafts, Assessors ; Asa Diekin- son, Collector.

In the summer of 1866 a neat frame church was erected in the hamlet, on a lot given for this purpose by Dennis Diekin- son. It was dedicated Jan. 17, 1867. Mr. Fairchild remained with the society about three years, and was followed by the Rev. George H. Eldridge, who preached nearly two years. Rev. Leonard W. Brigham and others have since served as supplies.

THIE CEMETERIES.

The town is provided with a cemetery at the hamlet, another at the Straits, and a third place for interment on the west street. Probably all these grounds were selected for their convenience rather than for fitness of location, although they have all been improved to render them attractive. The cem- etery at the hamlet is provided with a neat hearse-house, and contains some very fine monuments belonging to the Belden, Diekinson, and other honored families of the town. The old- est grave in this ground is said to be that of lester Morton,

who died Oet. 21, 1762; and the oldest stone marks the grave of Jemima Allis, who died June 9, 1764. In the east ceme- tery, the oldest stone and grave are those of Joseph Sander- son, dated March 20, 1772. Here, also, are some handsome monuments, one of them costing $1000. In the west ground, the oldest stone marks the grave of Clarissa Bardwell, who died Dec. 15, 1776.

MILITARY HISTORY.

Although the French-and-Indian war, from 1754 to 1763, antedates the incorporation of the town, yet some of the citi- zens of Hatfield, residing in what is now Whately, partici- pated in that struggle ; and as others who afterward hecame settlers of the town were engaged, their names may appro- priately be given :

Abraham Parker, Henry Stiles, Richard Carey, Philip Smith, Simeon Graves, Joel Dickinson, Samuel Carley, Robert Hazard, Gaius Crafts, Perez Bard- well, Paul Smith, David Graves, Seth Wait, Ebenezer Bardwell, Ebenezer Bardwell, Jr., Reuben Dickinson, Nathaniel Dickinson, Joseph Belding, Nathaniel Sartwell, Israel Scott, Israel Graves, Salmon White, Elisha Frary, Abner Dickinson, Joseph Byram, Julius Allis, Samuel Bardwell, Oliver Graves, Nathan Graves, Paul Belding, Silas Smith, Jeremiah Wait.

The training in warfare which these men received was turned to good account in

THE WAR OF THE REVOLUTION

which so soon followed. The people early took a deep interest in the impending contest, and were among the first to respond to the alarm of danger at the threatened destruction of their liberties. In reply to the circular of the " Boston Committee of Correspondence and Inquiry," which called attention to the " rights of the colonists and the infringement thereon," the town forwarded the following letter, which was prepared by Edward Brown, Elisha Frary, and Joseph Belding, Jr., and approved by a meeting held in the spring of 1773:

"GENTLEMEN,-The proceedings of the town of Boston under the present exigencies, we esteem very laudable and worthy of a metropolis. We concur in general with your sentiments in stating the rights of the colonists and prov- juce, and of the infringements of these rights. We hold fast loyally to our sovereign; yet wo groan under onr burden, but do not despair of redress. If the importunity of a poor widow may move an nnjust judge to avenge her, low much more may we hope for redress hy frequent application to a gracjons king ! We shall at all times heartily join with yon in all legal and constitutional meas- ures for the keeping of those inestimable privileges wrested from us, and firmly to secure those that remain. For we are sensible that, should we renounce our liberty and privileges, we should renounce the rights of man, the rights of humanity, and even our duty to God and man. We have no doubts but that the Parliament of Great Britain will hereby understand that 'tis not the discon- tentedness of a faction, but that the whole people are sensible of the burdens they labor under."

The people of Whately conformed themselves to the spirit of the above, and discarded many things of foreign produe- tion, becoming more reliant and independent, while the prep- arations for possible resistance to usurped power went on. In 1774, Oliver Graves was chosen deputy to attend the Provin- cial Congress to be held at Concord in October ; Elisha Frary was a delegate to the second Congress, at Cambridge, in Feb- ruary, 1775; and Noah Wells and Salmon White attended the third Congress, at Watertown, in May of the same year.

In the fall of 1774 a company of " Minute-Men" was or- ganized ; and, at a meeting in December, it was

" Voted to provide one hnudred weight of lead and two hundred flints for the use of the town."

In January following it was

" Voted to raise money for the Minute-Men."

" Voted that the Minute-Men be allowed 8d. for each half-day spent; to the sergeants, 10d. , to the lieutenants, 12d."

" Voted that the Minute-Men train four half-days between this and the 1st of May next."

Oliver Graves, Benjamin Smith, Oliver Morton, Joshua Belding, John Smith, Elisha Frary, and Paul Smith were the committee of correspondence in 1775.

The news of the battle of Lexington reached Whately late on the 20th of April, and early the next morning the Minute- Men marched, and after having proceeded forty miles, being

told they were not needed, returned home, reaching it on the 23d.

The company was composed of the following :

Capt., Henry Stiles; Lieut., Noah Bardwell; Sergts., John Lamson, John Brown; privates, Thomas Sanderson, Panl Belling, Ebenezer Bardwell, Jr., John Wait, Simeon Wells, Ebenezer Dickinson, Niles Coleman, Roswell Smith, Benjamin Smith, Joel Wait, Daniel Wells, Salmon White, Edward Brown, David Ingrahanı.

Besides these, a number of the citizens belonged to com- panies in the adjoining towns, and were also out from two to thirty days. In Capt. Perez Graves' Hatfield company were : Sergt., Silas Smith ; privates, Gitleon Dickinson, Gaius Crafts, Jacoh Mosher, John Smith, Benjamin Smith, Jonathan Edson, Joel Wait, Elisha Smith.

In Capt. Israel Chapin's company (Col. Fellows' regi- ment) were :

Lient., Perez Bardwell; Sergts., Nathaniel Sartle, Joseph Belding, Jr .; Corp., Abel Scott; Drummer, Phineas Frary ; Fifer, Eleazar Frary; privates, Zenas Field, Josiah Brown, David Morton, Abel Bacon, Simeon Morton, John Crafts, Joseph Crafts, Noah Field, Selah Graves, John Sanderson, Joel Scott, Solomon Snow, Elijah Scott, Elisha Smith, Elisha Wait.

In Capt. Seth Murray's Hatfield company were-in service from April 29th till August 25th-Joel and Reuben Dickinson, Caleb Beals, Jonathan Edson, Elisha Wells, and Jacob Walker. '

Ebenezer Bardwell was in the Sunderland company.

The Whately men engaged at the battle of Bunker Hill were Elisha Wells, Jonathan Spafford, Jonathan Edson, Sr., and Jonathan Edson, Jr.

The action of the town throughout the Revolution was in harmony with the patriotic spirit of its citizens. On the 6th of July, 1776, before the news of the Declaration of Independ- ence had been received, it was voted, in a special meeting,

"That in case the Continental Congress shall declare the colonies to be in an independent state from Great Britain, we will support the declaration with our lives and fortunes."

Before this meeting was held,-probably in June, 1776,- Ebenezer Dickinson, Joseph Crafts, Joel Morton, Samuel G. Morton, Phineas Scott, Elijah Scott, Luther Scott, Philo Bacon, and Asa Sanderson were enlisted to march against Canada, receiving a bounty of £7 from the State; and the town " voted £54 for their encouragement."

Other men who enlisted in that year to fill the town's quota, or who served in 1776, were :

Bernice Snow, Ebenezer Bardwell, Jr., Solomon Snow, Zeph. Snow, Oliver Train, Henry Jones, Joab Bragg, John Hawley, Edward Brown, Abel Bacon, Thomas Harrington, Joab Belding, Bezaleel Phelps, Samuel Black- man, Amos Fuller, Oliver Morton, Adna Smith, William Brown, Benjamin Parker, Phineas Smith, Bezaleel Smith, Abraham Parker, Mathew Graves, James Sanderson, Aaron Pratt, Elisha Smith, Julius Frary, and others.

In 1777 a company of 57 men, under Capt. Salmon White, was at Ticonderoga several months. Those from Whately were :

Elisha Smith, Abijah Brown, Samuel Coleman, Zenas Field, Joel Morton, Elijah Scott, Perez Wells, Moses Crafts, Philo Bacon, Richard Carey, John Lam- son, Samuel G. Morton, Joseph Scott, Simeon Wells, Reuben Crafts, Jehu Dickinson, Jacob A. Faxon, Benjamin Parker, Abel Scott.

David Stockbridge was a corporal in the Northern army from May 7th to July 8th. Capt. Seth Murray's company, when it marched to Fort Edward, July 9 to Aug. 12, 1777, had the following Whately men :

Lients., Thomas Sanderson, Noah Bardwell; Sergts., John Wait, Noah Field; privates, Elisha Wells, Abraham Turner, Daniel Morton, Levi Morton, Joel Wait, Jonathan Edson, Elihu Wait, Seth Frary, Lemuel Wells, Simeon Morton, David Morton, Jacob Walker, Reuben Graves, Josiah Brown, Elijah Smith, Paul Belding, Graves Crafts, Seigh Graves, John Graves, Selah Scott, Roswell Smith, Ebenezer Scott, Faul Belding, Jr., David Ingraham.

A number of Whately men were in readiness to march at the order of Gen. Gates, Aug. 17, 1777, but only Paul Gibbs, Moses Crafts, Phineas Scott, and Simeon Wells served any length of time in the Northern army.

On the 20th of September, 1777, the Whately company of

militia went to Saratoga, remaining until October 14th of that year. The muster-roll contained the names of

Capt., Salmon White; Lients., Thomas Sanderson, Noah Bardwell; Sergts., Leomnel Wells, John Crafts, Eleazer Frary, Martin Graves; Corps., Eb- enezer Bardwell, Elijah Scott, Elisha Wells; privates, Joseph Kellogg, Ebenezer Dickinson, Gad Smith, Joshna Belding, Philo Bacon, Adlna Smith, Nathan Graves, Jr., Phineas Smith, Reubeo Crafts, John Smith, Russell Allis, Jonathan Smith, Gad Scott, Elisha Smith, Abijah Brown, Levi Handy, David Ingraham, Oliver Graves, Asa Sanderson, Nathan Graves, Benjamin Bacon, Samuel G. Morton, Ezra Turner, Joel Wait.

Other Whately men at Saratoga were:

Davil Morton, Zenas Field, Seth Frary, James Sanderson, Elisha Smith, Caleb Beals, John Sanderson, Lucius Allis, Simeon Graves, Timothy Shattuck, Abel Allis, William Brown, Abraham Parker, Ebenezer Bardwell, Jr., Stephen Keyes.

In 1778 the men enlisted were:

Nathaniel Dickinson, Jonathan E:lson, Abel Scott, Nathaniel Sartle, Philo Bacon, Benjamin Parker, Isaac Sanderson, David Ingraham, Seth Wright.

A number of levies were made in 1779, and the town

" Voted to allow three men, that will engage nine months in the Continental army, 408. per month, with the addition of the bounty and mileage allowed by the General ('onrt."

On the 19th of October it was voted " to raise two thousand four hundred pounds for soldiers gone and going into the army." Besides those in service a short time at New London, Conn., the enlisted men in this year were Samuel G. Morton, Gardner Marcy, Simeon Wells, Joseph Scott, Abijah Hard- ing, Allen Faxon, Dr. Perez Chapin, and others.

Jan. 6, 1780, the town chose a committee to settle with the men that went to New London and those that went to Claverack.

May 11th it was voted to give notes on interest to those soldiers to whom the town is indebted.

A liberal bounty to volunteers was also voted, and Benja- min Seott, Jr., offered to give a bonus of $700 to seven soldiers who should enlist. This was paid to Abel Seott, Oliver Graves, Graves Crafts, Philo Bacon, Salmon White, Jr., Amasa Edson, Abijah Brown, who enlisted for six months. Paul Harvey, Bezaleel Smith, Elijah Smith enlisted for three months. William Giles and Stephen Orcutt enlisted in the Continental army.

In August, 1780, the town voted to raise £3600 to provide beef for the army, and appointed Elisha Frary, Salmon White. and Perez Chapin a purchasing committee ; and in September "it was voted to raise one hundred and twenty-seven pounds, in silver money, to pay the soldiers that the town is indebted to for service done or doing in the army."

In addition to those already named, the Whately men in service in 1780 were Reuben Crafts, Reuben Graves, John Wallis, Samuel McIntire, Moses Crafts, John Brown, Jona- than Bacon, and Henry Green.

In 1781 the town paid £293 78., in silver, bounty to Jona- than Bacon, Bernice Snow, Stephen Keyes, and Gershom Keyes, and a smaller bounty to Asa Crafts.

Among others who enlisted in this year were Abel Scott,

Elisha Belding, Oliver Shattuck, Abial Harding, Abel Bacon, and Abraham Parker.

Among those who had served in the Revolutionary army and became settlers after the war were Josiah Gibert, Natban Harwood, Franeis Harwood, and Joseph Barnard.

No official mention is made of Shays' rebellion, but Capt. Shattuck, Capt. Brown, John Taylor, and Nathaniel Cole- man are remembered as having been friendly to that move- ment. A citizen of Whately, Jacob Walker, was killed at Bernardston, while aiding in the arrest of Capt. Jason Par- menter, a leader of the disaffected men. He was buried in Hatfield.

THE WAR OF 1812

did not find much favor with the people of Whately. They protested against the measure, and sent Phineas Frary as a delegate to the Northampton Convention, in July, 1812. After the war had been in progress for some time, Aaron Wait, Chester Nash, Melzar Smith, and Alvin Smith were enlisted as three years' men; and in obedience to the order of the Governor of the State, calling on the State militia to protect the exposed sea-coast, the Whately Rifle Greens marched to Boston, Sept. 15, 1814, for a three months' campaign, but were discharged October 28th. The company was composed of

Capt., Amos P'ratt; Lieut., Asa Parker ; Ens., Plyna Graves; Sergts., J. C. Loomis, Perez Graves, Martin Woods; Drummer, Simeon Reed; Fifer, Sylvester Morton ; privates, Arnold Morton, William Starks, Henry Hanoun, Row- laod Graves, Robert Smith, Spencer Hannum, Edward Phelps, Chester Smith, Amasa Wade, Jr., Justus Starks, Horace Smith, Quartus Ingran, Jona.

Ens., Elijah Sanderson; privates, Thomas Crafts, Phineas Smith, Giles Dickinson, Joel Wait, Harris Allis, Israel Wells, Levi Green, Allen Sanderson, Enos Wait, Richard Bunce, Ilenry Wait, Ashley Smith.

Others from town in the war were Elihu Harvey, Daniel McCoy, and Isaac Marsh.

WHATELY REBELLION RECORD.

The town gave a prompt and cheerful response to every call for troops to aid in suppressing the Rebellion of 1861-65. It is believed that the appended list contains the names of all resident soldiers of Whately, with date of their enlistment and regimental connection.

Much of the matter in this sketch of Whately has been com- piled from the excellent history of the town, prepared in 1871, by the Rev. J. II. Temple, the fourth pastor of the Congrega- tional Church of Whately. For valuable additional informa- tion the writer is indebted to James M. Crafts, Dennis Dick- inson, S. W. Allis, C. K. Waite, Elihu Belden, and Samuel Lesure.
