On the homestead was plenty of lumber and we are informed that Benjamin Church gave much, if not all of the lumber needed for the church building erected by that organization. At any rate the Baptist church inaugurated a trail of good to the town which widens and lengthens with the flight of years. We give the articles of organization :-

The list of charter members gives many of those promin- ent in the life of the town. They formed an organization as strong in members, wealth, influence, or character as the other. Yet with the feeling for church affiliation as strong as it is today such division would be impossible. Could they have seen into the future only a few years they would, we believe, have desisted. However, great good came of their labor, faith and prayers, and the place became more sacred by reason of

the devout hearts that assembled in the two churches. We give a list of Baptists obtained from the book where early mar- riages were recorded. Some of these were recorded as Bap- tists long before Holland Baptist church was organized. But most of them are new members as indicated by date of admis- sion, won to their faith by the power of gospel preaching. The following is a list, many of them early converts.

BAPTISTS.
From Evart's "History of the Connecticut Valley."
This church was made up of Baptists in Holland, the edge of Sturbridge, So. Brimfield, Southbridge and Thompson. They sent a letter stating that twenty persons wished to form a church, ten brothers and ten sisters, asking them to send their pastors and two or more brothers to sit with them in coun- cil on June 25, 1817, at house of Benjamin Church to consult upon said matter. The letter was signed by Samuel Webber and Walter Lyon, committee.
The council convened at time and place specified. A church was organized composed of twenty members and twelve were added during the rest of the year. July 12, 1817, Samuel Webber and Walter Lyon were chosen deacons. The first regu- lar, or settled, pastor was Joseph Glazier, of a Holland family, who was ordained by a council of churches, August 25, 1823. Elder John M. Hunt was admitted a member of the council the same day and had the pastoral care of the church for a time. Sept. 5, 1832, Washington Munger was installed pastor. The church was supplied by John Payne, Linas Austin, and others, but the records do not show that any others were regu- larly in charge of the church besides Mr. Glazier and Mr. Mun- ger. Amos Babcock was the last to preside over the church. The date of the last entry contained in the records is August

HOLLAND BAPTIST CHURCH
21, 1845. Between that and 1850 (1848 by Copeland's history) the society dissolved. It had included during its existence, 212 members, eighty being probably the highest number con- neeted with it at any one time. The building was erected, 1819-20, and dedicated August 25, 1820. It was 36 x 40 feet. It has, under restrictions, become the town hall and school- house. See those topies.
Petition that support of religion be not compulsory but voluntary.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts in General 'Court assembled.
The subscribers, inhabitants of the town of Holland, beg leave to petition your honorable body that the Constitution of this Commonwealth may be so far altered that religion may be supported by the voluntary contributions of the citizens and not by legal process or compulsion. We would respectfully state the reasons why we think the third article of the Bill of Rights should be annulled ;-
First. Religion to be genuine must flow from a right spirit and not from the requirements of men-such requirements we verily believe have a tendency to corrupt and debase men and opens a door for strife and persecution.
Second. Jesus Christ, who came into the world to seek and to save that which was lost, never applied to the civil authority to aid Him in His work, nor has He left any directions to His followers so to do.
Third. Religion will be abundantly supported without human compulsion as to rights and ceremonies. People are will- ing always liberally to support their own views.
We believe your honorable body on giving this subject your serious consideration will take the measures to bring about the desired alteration in our constitution,-And as in duty bound will ever pray.

Few men of whatever shade of Christian belief would dis- sent now from the views expressed in this petition. That the views of the petitioners were held by a majority of the Senate and House, needs no assertion. Many of the signers to the petition were men who were members or supporters of the Baptist church in Holland, as will be observed by a comparison with pages foregoing. The wisdom and general spirit of this petition is a eredit to those who signed it.
We deeply regret that the records of the Baptist church have not been available for our inspection nor have we been able to diseover any traces of them. We feel sure that if they were available, they would furnish mueh valuable historical material.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
1. REV. JOSEPH GLAZIER is spoken of as. the first settled pastor the Baptist Church of Holland had. In the list of marriage intentions we find one of Joseph Glazier and Philura Plimpton, said intention was published, April 13, 1817.
This Joseph Glazier is identical with the one that took out the marriage intention, identical with the Joseph Glazier that became a charter member of the Baptist Church. He was ordained pastor of the ehureh Aug. 25, 1823, and had been mar- ried about six years. Tradition has it that the house on reser-
255
HOLLAND BAPTIST CHURCH
voir road was built especially for a parsonage. If so, it, was probably for him. How long he was pastor we have not dis- covered. He went from Holland to Ware. There were other persons of that family name in Holland. He was a young man of good principles and abilities and for that reason was made pastor. Perley Glazier, a soldier in the war of 1812, was a brother to this Joseph. Calvin Glazier was a Holland tax- payer, 1793, and lived in the southeast district (Sand's place) and was father to Joseph and others. (See Glazier Genealogy.)
2. REV. WASHINGTON MUNGER was the son of Amasa Munger who was the son of Elnathan Munger who was a brother of Dea. Nathaniel Munger, one of the first settlers of what is now Wales. Dea. Nathaniel Munger lived on the home- stead now occupied by Jas. Henry Walker, and when he died, he was buried south of the house but the exact site is lost. Rev. Washington Munger preached in the Holland Baptist Church from 1832 to 1839, being ordained and settled over the church. He was born in Wales (then South Brimfield) Oct. 13, 1800. (See Gardner's "History of Wales.") He married Louisa Nichols, daughter of Jacob Nichols of Brimfield, who was born Jan. 13, 1805. Of this marriage there were born in Hol- land, a son, William in Nov., 1833, who died in 1835 and is buried in Holland cemetery. A son, Charles, born Aug. 1, 1835, who died in Waterford, Conn., Dec., 1908. A daughter, born Jan. 23, 1838, (now Mrs. H. Wales Lines of Meriden,; Conn.), she having married June 23, 1861. Of Washington Munger's family of eleven children, four were still living in 1911, three of them in Waterford, Conn., Wm. S. Munger, Mrs. L. E. Matthews, Mrs. A. P. Daniels. "Priest Munger" as he was affectionately called here, added to his pastoral duties, that of a schoolmaster and taught the northeast district school when it stood near the cross roads at the foot of the hill below the town hall. He lived in the Baptist parsonage which stood
256
THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
by the road leading from the cross roads mentioned to the reservoir dam. (No. 53 on the map.) Only a few survive who recall him as a teacher. He is portrayed as a good teacher, stern in discipline, yet naturally kind at heart. As a preacher he was considered fair, of a devout spirit, steadfast faith and earnest of purpose, he did much good. Holland was his first pastorate. We give below a copy of the documents pertaining to his ordination :
The Baptist Church in Wales to the Baptist Church in Holland,
Dear Brethen :
I. This may certify that Brother Washington Munger is a member in good standing in the Baptist Church of Christ in Wales, being impressed that it is his duty to labor, as much as in him lies for the Glory of God and good of souls, we do grant him the liberty in thus doing, where God in his Providence, shall open the door for his usefulness.
Done in, by a vote and in behalf of the church.
Attest : Joseph C. Royce, Church Clerk. Wales, March 3, 1832.
II. Dear Brethren,
Whereas Brother Washington Munger and his wife, Louisa have requested a letter of commendation to unite with you, they are hereby recommended to you as members in good and regular standing with us, and when united with you and we are informed of the same, we shall consider them dismissed from us.
In behalf of the church,
Joseph C. Royce, Church Clerk. Wales, Sept. 4, 1832.
III. Copy of Washington Munger's Certificate of Ordina- tion.
This may certify, to that Church it may concern :
That at the ecclesiastical council, held at Holland Sept. 5, 1832, when Elders, Linus Austin, Abiel Fisher, Addison Parker,
257
HOLLAND BAPTIST CHURCH
and Tubal Wakefield were present, that by them Washington Munger was in Gospel Order set apart to the work of the minis- try by a regular ordination.
Walter Lyon, Church Clerk.
Holland, May 1, 1835.
After leaving Holland he had the following pastorates. Stafford, Westford, Ashford, Mystic and Waterford, Conn. He held pastorates almost continuously from 1832 until his death in Waterford July 16, 1873. His wife died Jan. 29, 1892, in Meriden, Conn.
Three children, William, Charles and Sarah (Mrs. Lines) were born in Holland.
We have been informed that he lived in Wales in the "Meadow District," which was settled largely by the Mun- gers. He belonged to a sturdy race and family. The muster roll of So. Brimfield's revolutionary patriots reveals thirteen men bearing the name Munger, and the records of the town, so far as we have inspected them, prove that men of that name held the confidence of the town and bore an honorable part in its history. From the Munger family of Wales, Rev. T. T. Munger, D.D., sprung, a prominent Congregational clergyman, author and moralist.
We regret that we have not found the material for a bio- graphical sketch of every man of the following list who served as pastor of the Holland Baptist church taken from Evart's "History of the Connecticut Valley."
Baptist ministers :- First settled pastor, Joseph Glazier, Elder John M. Hunt had the pastoral care of it a while, Sept. 5, 1832, Washington Munger was installed pastor. Records do not show that any but Joseph Glazier and Washington Mun- ger were ever installed. John Payne and Linus Austin also had the pastoral care. Amos Babcock was the last to preside over the church. It had 212 members in its existence, eighty

being the largest at any one time. The Baptist Church became defunct, 1848. (Copeland's History.) See topic Town Hall.
The deacons of the Baptist Church were as follows:
SAMUEL WEBBER, WALTER LYON,
Elected July 12, 1817.
ALVIN GOODELL, SAMUEL FRIZELL, Date of election not discovered.
Dea. Alvin Goodell, after the dissolution of the Baptist Society, worshipped with the Congregationalists, and for years was a much loved teacher in the Sunday school and a faithful attendant at church serviee. His home for years was where Mr. William Morse now lives.
HOLLAND METHODIST CHURCH.
After the church building had ceased to be used as a Baptist Church, it was opened and used as a Methodist church for about three years beginning in 1859. The pastor was Rev. John Carpenter, who is spoken of as a man of fervent piety and . earnest in his work, being described as an eloquent and fluent speaker by those who remember him. Lack of support com- pelled him to desist. He owned the homestead where Benjamin Church had lived, farming and preaching at the same time. Later he kept store for two years near the bridge below the Drake farm. No records of the Methodist Church as an organ- ization are available, nor have we been able to make a list of its members or supporters. That its work and influence was helpful is conceded by all. (See Carpenter Genealogy.)
SECRET ORGANIZATIONS.
Humanity Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons was formed in Holland in 1811. It was quite loyally supported ;
259
HOLLAND BAPTIST CHURCH
but who were members of the lodge when it started we have not been able to ascertain. The lodge had its meetings in Hol- land for about two years, and then, for a larger field and greater usefulness, it was transferred to Brimfield. Supported there for a series of years, its membership as well as its in- fluenee gradually diminished. The last meeting, prior to dis- solving the organization, was held Jan. 15, 1834.
PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
Holland has always been a farming community. In a town of such citizenship it would be strange if a society of Grangers was not formed. Such an organization was formed, but lacking support after awhile it disbanded. We have seen no records of the organization.
CHAPTER XII
VITAL STATISTICS
We deeply regret that we cannot go back, in the vital records, to the time when Holland church was organized, 1765. The earliest recorded marriage being in 1781, copied from notes made by pastor Reeve. It is evident that the notes are very incomplete or else that many enteries have been lost. The same is true of the baptisms. But what has been preserved,. proved to be of great value in tracing the genealogies, and they have answered many questions of family origin. Many of the families left town early in its history and became lost to memory, and the place removed to for a new home forgotten, a great loss in more senses than one. In some cases it was ex- tremely difficult to read the writing notwithstanding the ef- forts of the state to renew it.
How vitally important the church or churches of a town are to the town is made evident by the history of this little rural town. The desire for convenient church privileges brought South Brimfield into being and the quarrel over a church site rendered inevitable another division. Holland had her birth then in a church dispute, to say nothing of other contributing causes. To her records we must look not only for those forces that give vitality and direction to its municipal life, but for those vital statistics which are of such deep in- terest to the posterity of the families mentioned therein, now scattered, not only in the state itself of which they formed a part, but to the various states of our union. Interest is grow- ing in the vital records of towns and it emphasizes the neces- sity and importance of having them as complete as possible. We give the following chapter on the vital statistics of Hol- land as being of deep interest to our readers.
