HISTORY OF NEWARK
On July 13, 1825, the Rev. Joshua T. Russell, of Norfolk, Virginia, was installed as first pastor. He was dismissed June 22, 1829. The church was dedicated on February 24, 1825. Previously the seats had been sold and brought $21,500. After Mr. Russell the pastoral succession has been- as follows: Rev. Baxter Dickinson, November 17, 1829, to November 17, 1835; Rev. Selah B. Treat, March 22, 1836, to January 24, 1840; Rev. Horatio N. Brinsmade, September 23, 1841, to October 9, 1853; Rev. Elisha B. Craven, D.D., October 30, 1854, to June 27, 1887; Rev. Nelson B. Hollifield, D.D., April 26, 1888, to October 18, 1900 (by death), and Rev. Robert Scott Inglis, D.D., October 9, 1901, the present pastor. The church has 476 members.
In 1912 it was decided by vote of the church to abandon the present site as a place of worship in June, 1914, and to continue the existence of the organization by forming a collegiate system to embrace several invited churches. The cornerstone of a handsome edifice at Abington avenue and Bridge street, to be known as the Third Church, North, was laid June 15, 1913. The Clinton Avenue Presbyterian church, in 1912, agreed to join the system, and to take the name of the Third Church, South. Plans for an edifice were completed in June, 1913, and at the dismantling of the old Third church the South church received its organ, bell and handsome walnut fittings. Another organization invited to join the system was the High Street church.
The Thirteenth Avenue (Colored) church, at the corner of Boston street, was organized May 7, 1835, as "The First Presbyterian Colored Con- gregation of the City of Newark." Later is was known as the "Plane Street Colored Church." The first edifice was erected in 1836 and was enlarged in 1852. In 1910 the congregation moved to the large and handsome stone church now in use. It was formerly the Wicliffe church. Early pastors or preachers were Rev. T. P. Hunt (1839) and S. E. Cornish (1842). Rev. Edward Payson Rogers was called about 1848, and was very successful in gathering members. In 1861 he went as a missionary to Africa, and died of fever. He was the author of a poem entitled "Mission Compromise." Other pastors have been Rev. Charles H. Thompson, 1861 to January 12, 1871; Rev. W. M. Morris, October 1, 1871, to September 1, 1874; Rev. Isaac W. Davenport, April 15, 1877, to June 3, 1885; Rev. William H. Lynch, February 10, 1887, to October 20, 1897; Rev. J. H. Locklier, March 9, 1898, to October 3, 1906, and Rev. Edward S. Eggleston, the present pastor, installed April 20, 1908. The church has 235 members.
The Central Presbyterian church, Clinton and Belmont avenues, was organized January 31, 1837. The original site was 90 Market street, between Broad and Halsey, where a frame building was dedicated in the fall of 1838. On July 29, 1851, was laid the cornerstone of a substantial church on the east side of Washington street, between Market and Bank. It was dedicated January 25, 1853. Here the congregation worshipped until removal, follow- ing a vote of October 18, 1892, to Clinton Hill. Services there were temporarily held in a store on Clinton avenue, near Ridgewood avenue. The Sunday school rooms on the present site were built in 1896, and the main auditorium was completed several years later. The original elders were James N. Hedden, Charles C. Williams and Daniel Price. The trustees were John Hays, Calvin Baldwin, Ezra D. Crane, Josephus W. Saunders, Nathan Hedges, Frederick B. Betts and Daniel D. Benjamin. The pastors have been: Rev. Charles Hoover, January 31, 1837, to January 21, 1840; Rev. William Belden, Jr., May 6, 1840, to February 17, 1842; Rev. William

George Walton King, D.D., January 25, 1911, the present pastor. The church has 638 members.
The Park Presbyterian church, at the northwest corner of Belleville avenue and Kearny street, was organized at Library Hall, April 2, 1848, as "The Fifth Presbyterian Church." The Rev. Ansell D. Eddy, recently dis- missed from the First church, was installed pastor on June 1, 1848. Seventy- two members had taken letters of dismission from the Old First to form the new church. The first board of elders consisted of J. Henry Clark, Edward A. Crane and Richard Hall; and the first trustees were George S. Mills, Edwin Van Antwerp, Isaac Meeker, Terah Benedict, Peter C. Adams, James T. Taylor and Benjamin F. Harrison. The congregation worshipped for two years in Library Hall, located on the north side of Market street, between Broad and Halsey. An edifice was then built on West Park street, near Broad. It was dedicated in 1850, and used until abandoned and sold in 1872. It was soon after remodeled and became Park Theatre, and in 1887 it was further remodeled by the Newark Library Association for a library. It was occupied by the Free Public Library from 1889 until 1901, when the present Public Library on Washington street was opened. Since then it has been occupied by the New Jersey Historical Society. At the new site a chapel was dedicated December 15, 1872, and a new church edifice, seating over 400, on October 6, 1874. Needing more room, the present church building was erected and was dedicated April 20, 1885. The pastors have been: Rev. Ansel D. Eddy, D.D., installed 1848, resigned 1855; Rev. Henry A. Rowland, D.D., elected October 29, 1855, died in office, September, 1859; Rev. James G. Hamner, D.D., elected November, 1860, resigned June, 1861; Rev. Joel Parker, D.D., elected September 30, 1862, resigned August, 1868; Rev. Isaac Riley (colleague), elected July, 1867, resigned August, 1868; Rev. Prentiss De Veuve, D.D., elected October 12, 1868, resigned March 13, 1879; Rev. J. Clement French, D.D., installed October 16, 1879, died in office February 14, 1899; Rev. A. Edwin Keigwin, D.D., March 26, 1900, to February 1, 1905, and the present pastor, Rev. John McDowell, installed May 18, 1905.
It was during the pastorate of Rev. J. Clement French, D. D., that the church developed into the influential organization it has since been. He was active, eloquent and enthusiastic. He was greatly esteemed and beloved as the president for a number of years of the Essex County Christian Endeavor Union, in which office he presided at the immense conventions, frequently held during the last decade of the nineteenth century. He was president and founder of the Industrial Mission on Plane street, since his death called the J. Clement French Industrial Home.
On July 17, 1887, was dedicated a chapel on Highland avenue costing about $5,000 and erected from funds given by the Park Church congrega- tion. The work was placed in charge of Mr. Alfred Nicholson, who was ordained as evangelist in June, 1890. This chapel was organized as "The North Park Presbyterian Church," October 30, 1890. Here the Rev.

Freshman succeeded Mr. Nicholson, and still later came Rev. J. Garland Hamner, Jr., in whose time the name was changed to "The House of Hope." On June 4, 1902, this church ceased to be independent and was again taken under the care of Park Church. Ministers since in charge of this mission have been: Rev. Messrs. E. B. Gearhart, L. V. C. Mytton, Albert W. 'Grigg and Frank S. Niles, who served from the fall of 1912 until his departure in September, 1913, to the China mission field. The present pastor of Park Church, Mr. McDowell, is a member of the Board of Foreign Missions. He is in requisition as a public speaker and is widely recognized as an earnest student and advocate of measures looking toward the solution of industrial problems as related to the church. Park Church has 878 members.
The Sixth Presbyterian Church, located at the southwestern corner of Lafayette and Union streets, was organized October 1, 1848, with thirty-six members, mainly from the Third, Central and First churches, the number from each being in the order named. None of the charter members are now living. Rev. Samuel Potter ministered to the young and feeble congregation for several months, before the first pastor was called. The original building, located on the east side of Union street, was dedicated in 1849. It is now occupied by the St. James African M. E. Church, 90 Union street. The Sixth Church has had six pastors, as follows: William Aikman, 1849-1857; William T. Eva, 1857-1860; James M. Dickson, 1863-1869; Martin F. Hollister, 1875-1884; Davis W. Lusk, April 22, 1885, to April 12, 1911; and Rev. Robert R. Littell, installed co-pastor January 13, 1910, and now the sole pastor. Dr. Lusk is now Presbyterian superintendent of mission work in the Presbytery of Newark.
During the pastorate of Dr. Lusk, the present handsome edifice was built and the old abandoned. To his enterprise the present great plant, well adapted to devotional and social uses, owes its being. He has published several sermons, among them "How a Church Grew," 1905; and "How Can the Church Meet the New Conditions," 1907. The cornerstone of the new building was laid November 12, 1890, at 9 o'clock in the evening, under electric light, and the new building was opened and dedicated November 9, 1891. The sermon at the dedication was preached by Dr. Charles H. Park- hurst, of New York. The congregation that night subscribed over $5,000 for the building fund. On the tablet at the entrance door is the motto: "This church is conducted in the interest of the people outside of it." The church has 613 members.
The Elizabeth Avenue Presbyterian Church, formerly the Lyon's Farms Church, at Elizabeth and Chancellor avenues, was organized January 21, 1849, by members of that denomination in Newark and Elizabeth. The first elders were David Bond and Nathan Ford, ordained February 11, 1849. The original church was dedicated June 20, 1849. On April 23, 1850, Rev. William F. Garthwaite, the first pastor, was installed. The name of the church was changed during 1903. The present building was dedicated February 2, 1902. The pastors have been: Rev. William F. Garth waite, April 23, 1850, to April 21, 1852; Rev. Eliphalet Bosworth (after a vacancy) February 14, 1854, to October 16, 1855; Rev. George M. S.

pastor, Rev. Dean N. Dobson, installed February 9, 1911. The church has 310 members.
The High Street Presbyterian Church, at the corner of High and Court streets, was organized September 16, 1849, at the Third Presbyterian Church. A union Sunday School in W. S. Ketcham's carpenter shop, 22 Mercer street, had preceded in 1842, with James R. Pinneo soon after as superintendent. On November 25, 1847, a chapel on Mercer street was dedicated. Rev. E. A. Osborne later held services Sunday evenings. Rev. D. W. Poor began work as missionary in May, 1849. The first elders were James B. Pinneo and John R. Davison. Hon. William Pennington, former governor of New Jersey, was the first president of the board of trustees. The cornerstone of the present handsome Gothic edifice was laid September 3, 1850, and worship was begun in the lecture room on December 14. On May 18, 1852, the church was dedicated. The cost was $43,000, of which Mr. Pinneo gave $20,000. The building has well been called "a gem of rare architectural beauty." The pastors have been: Rev. D. W. Poor, November 7, 1849, to 1869; Rev. J. H. McIlvaine, D. D., July 7, 1870, to April 6, 1887; Rev. Louis Lampman, D. D., November 2, 1888, to Novem- ber 19, 1906; Rev. Henry K. Denlinger, May 2, 1907, to December 6, 1909; and the present pastor, Rev. John J. Moment, installed February 17, 1911. The church has 510 members.
The First German Presbyterian Church, on Morton, near High street, was organized July 27, 1851. The first building was a frame structure, and the second, dedicated September 16, 1860, and still used, is of stone. The first officers of the church were: Frederick Hagney, Henri Klien and J. Wilde. The first pastor was Rev. William Winness, who served five years. Rev. J. U. Guenther, enrolled in the Presbytery on November 14, 1860, was the second pastor. He had come to Newark, October 22, 1854. On May 10, 1899, at the dissolution of his pastorate, he was made pastor emeritus. He died May 10, 1901. The present pastor, Rev. Henry W. Seibert, was installed May 28, 1899. The church has 247 members. This church is claimed as the mother of the German Presbyterian churches of New Jersey, and generally of the eastern part of the United States. In 1854 Pastor Guenther established in Newark the first German-English day school. Largely through his efforts came the establishment at Bloomfield of the German Theological School of Newark, now the Bloomfield Theological Seminary.
The South Park Church, at the corner of Broad street and Clinton avenue, was organized March 20, 1853. Active founders were Asa White- head, Samuel P. Smith, John P. Jackson, Rev. William Bradley and Aaron Carter, Jr., who were interested in a chapel on Mulberry street, the result of a mission school started in 1851 by John P. Jackson in the Chestnut street depot. It was voted there on April 19, 1852, to attempt to establish a church in the vicinity of South Park, now Lincoln. On January 17, 1853, preliminary organization was effected, and Seth W. Magie, Silas Ford, John P. Jackson, Aaron Carter, Jr., Ezra Reeve, Peter G. McDermit and Asa Whitehead were elected trustees. Services were held in the Mulberry street chapel from March 20, 1853, until the dedication of the present church, February 15, 1855. The cornerstone had been laid October 29, 1853. In 1869-70 the manse on Spruce street was erected. In 1884 the church was enlarged to its present size. The first pastor, Rev. James P. Wilson, D. D., was installed October 25, 1853. He came from a professorship in Union Theological Seminary, New York. He died May 22, 1889. He was succeeded by the present pastor, Rev. Lyman Whitney Allen, D. D., October

HISTORY OF NEWARK
17, 1889. Much of the history of this church appears in the "Record of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary," published at Newark in 1879. The church, in 1890, built the South Park Memorial Chapel, at South and Dawson streets, and placed over it an assistant pastor. The church has 644 members.
Dr. Allen has published several volumes of poems, among them "Abraham Lincoln," in 1896, and "A Parable of the Rose," 1908.
The Roseville Avenue Church, located near Sussex avenue, was organ- ized April 9, 1854, with about twenty members. Previously, during the summer of 1852, a Sunday School had been organized in a house then standing at the northeast corner of Orange and Seventh streets. The school was soon removed to the present site, where a frame church was built, the land having been donated by Aaron Peck. On April 27, 1854, Rev. John F. Pingry was installed pastor, which relation was dissolved on August 30, 1860. On October 31, 1860, Rev. Charles T. Haley was installed. He had previously supplied, for a time, at the Lyons Farms Church. He remained until his death, March 13, 1903. He was succeeded by Rev. William Y. Chapman, D. D., the present pastor, who was installed June 14, 1905. During 1867 a new church of stone and brick was built, which was enlarged to its present capacity in 1875. There are 706 members. The Sunday School at the south side was built in 1888.
Four churches were claimed by Dr. Haley, in his "Fortieth Anniversary Sermon," to have originated from this mother church. They were the Bruce Street Mission, now the West Church, the First Presbyterian of East Orange, the Memorial, and the Fifth Avenue. Dr. Haley's long pastorate identified his personality with the church. After his death was published a volume entitled "In Memory of Rev. Charles T. Haley, D. D.", in which is his fortieth anniversary sermon containing a history of the church. In the volume is the following sonnet to his memory by Joseph Fulford Folsom, entitled "Charles T. Haley":
The eager voice, the lips that published peace, Are stilled. The hands that wedded man and maid, And blessed the babe, in restful wise are laid; Death rules awhile, and wonted labors cease.
Preacher and friend, thy spirit had release, To rise ascendant to this mortal grade, And wing the ancient airway stade on stade, Where cares go flutt'ring back, and joys increase.
Thy life and ministry through all the years Lay open to the gaze of God and men, And on that page no dark'ning blot offends: Once more a saint his testimony bears, And Christian truth is justified again- Religion best a good man's walk defends.
The Second German Presbyterian Church, 106-110 Sussex avenue, was organized November 4, 1860. The first edifice was of wood, and located on Eighth avenue. The cornerstone of the present church was laid September 19, 1866. The first elders were Philip Kinzmann and Frederick Baumann. The pastors have been: Rev. Hennan Bielfeld, 1860-1864; Rev. A. Krahn, 1864-1865; Rev. F. Brunow, 1866-1869; Rev. G. Neff, 1869-1870; Rev. W. Strobel, 1870-1872; Rev. William A. Nordt, July 15, 1874, to November 24, 1895; and the present pastor, Rev. Frederick W. Hock, Ph. D., installed May 27, 1896. There are 221 members.

HISTORY OF NEWARK
The Third German Presbyterian Church, at Hamburg place and Ann street, was organized March 30, 1863. The original site was the corner of Madison and Ferry streets. The Rev. George C. Seibert was pastor from 1863 to 1872. He afterward became a professor in the German Theological Seminary at Bloomfield. He was succeeded by Rev. Oscar Kraft, October, 1872, to March 17, 1874. During this pastorate three-fourths of the mem- bers left the Presbyterian denomination and formed St. Stephen's Evangeli- cal Church, now at Ferry street and Hamburg place. The present pastor, Rev. Julius H. Wolff, D. D., was installed June 9, 1875. He began with 60 members. The church, in 1882, removed to the present site. The parsonage was built in 1884. The Sunday School edifice was added in 1891 and enlarged in 1895. Dr. Wolff has been, since 1890, the stated clerk of the Presbytery, and since 1903 the permanent clerk of the New Jersey Synod. He is also on the faculty of the Bloomfield Seminary, and a director. The church has 220 members.
The Wickliffe Presbyterian Church, now extinct, was organized May 14, 1865. It began as a mission of the Third Church, at Wickliffe and Bank streets, in a brick edifice dedicated on January 25, 1857. Rev. Samuel Hutchings and Rev. E. E. Rankin, D. D., were missionaries until 1864. In April, 1889, the congregation removed to a new and com- modious stone building at Thirteenth avenue and Boston street, which it occupied until disbanded. This edifice is now the home of the Thirteenth Avenue (Colored) Church. The pastors of Wickliffe have been: Rev. Horatio N. Brinsmade, D. D., April 25, 1867, to April 17, 1872, died January 18, 1879; Rev. I. M. See, April 20, 1873, to October 2, 1878; Rev. J. M. Barkley (Moderator of General Assembly, 1909) May 9, 1879, to September 11, 1882; Rev. Charles D. Crane, April 18, 1883, to December 14, 1883; Rev. John A. Trimmer, 1884 to 1885; Rev. J. Garland Hamner, Jr., June 25, 1886, to June 15, 1895; Rev. Richard E. Locke, October 6, 1897, to Decem- ber 24, 1900; and the last regular pastor, Rev. George S. Hall, October 7, 1901, to September 11, 1907. The Rev. Wm. H. Stubblebine, Ph. D., served as stated supply during 1909. Neighborhood conditions forced the dissolving of the organization on June 21, 1910, and the majority of the members were transferred to the West Church.
The Forest Hill Presbyterian Church, at Highland avenue and Heller Parkway, was organized September 8, 1867. The original site was on Carteret street, and the church was named Woodside, after the section in which it was located. The church had its beginnings in a meeting for worship held in the home of C. C. Hine, on Belleville avenue, June 9, 1867. Rev. William C. Scofield, of the Central Church, preached. The Sunday School opened the following Sunday. In September, organization was accomplished. Mr. Hine placed benches in his large parlor, and hung a bell in the tower, turning his residence into a veritable church. Two other churches-Christ Reformed and St. John's Episcopal-were in due time organized in this home. Hine's "Woodside," a volume published in 1909, contains much material about this church.
The first pastor was Rev. Clarence Eddy, who came about 1869. In 1870 the church was divided over the pastor, and a number of members, including Mr. Hine, went out and formed Christ Reformed Church. Mr. Eddy remained until June 1, 1875. Succeeding pastors have been: Rev. James S. Evans, December 20, 1876, to October 6, 1880; Rev. John A. Trimmer, May 4, 1881, to October 5, 1882; Rev. Joseph W. Parker, June 12, 1883, to June 17, 1889; Rev. Henry C. Vanderbeek, June 12, 1890,

to April 14, 1909; and the present pastor, Rev. Frederick W. Lewis, installed December 10, 1909. During 1891, in the pastorate of Mr. Vanderbeek, the old site was abandoned, and a chapel was erected on the present site. On September 21, 1913, the present pastor, Mr. Lewis, had the happiness of dedicating a handsome stone church, the cornerstone of which had been laid October 27, 1912. The church has 443 members.
Calvary Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Gillette place, was organized June 21, 1868. The original chapel, still standing, was dedicated the same day. The present stone church edifice was dedicated June 22, 1884. The first elders were Charles D. Northrup and Halsted C. Burnet. The pastors have been Rev. Walter Condict, Rev. George Brayton, and Rev: Isaiah B. Hopwood, D. D., who served from June 26, 1874, until his death, January 1, 1911. Since 1911, Rev. Steely B. Rossiter, D. D., has been supplying the pulpit. The church has 227 members.
Dr. Hopwood's personality was genial and attractive. His long pastorate not only endeared him to his church, but made him prominent in the civic and religious circles of the city. He was born at Bradbury, England, November 6, 1831. He graduated at the University of New York in 1856. and at Union Theological Seminary in 1861. He preached at Coventry, New York, Oxford Furnace, New Jersey, and at Brooklyn. Later he was pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Paterson, from which field in 1874 he came to Newark. On June 7, 1909, he celebrated his thirty-fifth anniversary as pastor of Calvary Church, with exercises largely attended running through a week. Once asked the secret of his long and healthy life, he said, "I am very fond of nature, and for years have been a fisherman. My long life I attribute to simple habits of living and close affiliation to nature."
The Bethany Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Spruce and Charlton streets, was organized April 9, 1880. It was the result of mission work begun in 1864 by young men of the First Presbyterian Church, which church has always liberally supported Bethany. That year a small building was erected.
