On December 18, 1863, the trustees of the West Union Academy met at Joseph Jeffrey's near West Union to close up the business of the corporation of The West Union Academy. The following trustees were present :- Joseph Jeffrey, Jepthah F. Randolph, Lodowick H. Davis, and Stephen T. Davis.
Jepthah F. Randolph presented written assignments for all the outstanding stock of the corporation save that held by himself. By vote of the trustees, the assignments were all accepted, and the stock all accordingly transferred to Jepthah F. Randolph into whose hands the entire remaining business of the West Union Academy was committed, and the corpora-

tion passed out of existence. The records were left with Franklin F. Randolph, of New Milton, West Virginia, who had for two years been the secretary of the corporation, "for reference for all concerned."
The history of the school itself was of a spasmodic char- acter. It is probable that after the original building was pur- chased by Dr. Ethelbert Bond, John S. Davis, and Samuel Preston F. Randolph, it was not used for school purposes until the arrival of Stephen Thomas West Potter from Scott, New York, who as stated previously, was secured through the efforts of Rev. Azor Estee.
Mr. Potter taught two terms of school during the winter of 1850-51, and the following spring. At the close of the second term, he left and did not return. During the summer of 1851, Miss Esther F. Randolph, daughter of William F. Randolph, one of the trustees of the academy, taught a term of seventeen weeks.
In the following autumn (1851), Rev. Azor Estee opened school in the new building. This was probably the most prosperous year of the life of the institution. It was not only well patronised by the people of the town, regardless of denominational affiliation, but students came from a large num- ber of Seventh Day Baptist families located at New Milton, Greenbrier, New Salem, and various other localities within the bounds of the Seventh Day Baptist churches of Virginia. Many of these students boarded themselves, and Rev. Azor Estee conducted a club of twenty-six members, besides his own family, at a cost of seventy-two cents a week for each member.
Apparently, a term was taught the following summer (1852), by Ezra F. Randolph, a brother of Miss Esther F. Randolph, who had taught in the summer of 1851. During the year 1852-53, the school seems to have been taught by two brothers, Benoni Israel and Robert Alexander Jeffrey, sons of Joseph Jeffrey, one of the trustees of the academy.
In the meantime, William F. Randolph had been appointed corresponding secretary, and instructed to open correspondence to secure a suitable teacher for the school. As a result of his efforts, Daniel Maxson Burdick of Little Genesee, New York, was secured and was upon the ground by the 20th of June, 1853. As he arrived later than he had expected, he (22)

found a school already in progress in the village in the county court house, taught. by a Baptist clergyman. The trustees, nevertheless, tendered him the academy, rent free, and he opened a school with some twenty pupils, with a promise of about seventy for the following term. He was, however, called home by sickness in his family, and although he promised to return, he found on his arrival at home that it would be impossible for him to do so, and so abandoned the enterprise. This was undoubtedly the last tangible effort of the trustees to conduct a denominational school in the buildings.
Apparently from the time of Daniel Maxson Bur- dick's departure in the late summer or autumn of 1853, there was no school conducted in the buildings, as it was hoped he would return, until the first of the following June, when the property was rented to one H. T. Hays, who con- tinued to hold possession until June 6, 1855, paying a rent of forty dollars ($40.00) a year. Hays was not a Seventh Day Baptist, and probably conducted a subscription (select) school for the benefit of the children of the village. The buildings then appear to have stood idle until the 8th day of August, 1856, when the entire property was sold and passed into the possession of Isaiah Bee, who taught two terms of school in the academy, when it ceased to be used for school purposes. During the Civil War it was used as a hospital by the Union Army. Later the cupola was removed, and the building was transformed into a dwelling house. It is now the comfortable home of the daughter of one of Rev. Azor Estee's former school patrons.
The academy was organised and established mainly through the joint efforts of Rev. Azor Estee and William F. Randolph, the latter of whom was its largest stockholder and its leading spirit throughout the entire period of its active history. He, together with his father, Jonathan F. Randolph ; his uncle, Jesse F. Randolph; his brothers, Jepthah F. Ran- dolph, Peter F. Randolph, Samuel Preston F. Randolph, and Isaac F. Randolph; his brothers-in-law, John S. Davis and Eliona Davis; and his son-in-law, Richard Ford; held a pre- ponderence of the stock.
The academy was modelled largely after the North- Western Virginia Academy situated at Clarksburg, twenty-
354
SEVENTH DAY BAPTISTS IN WEST VIRGINIA
seven miles east of West Union, and fourteen miles east of New Salem.1 The North-Western Academy was originally incorpor- ated by an act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia, passed December 31, 1787, as a branch of William and Mary's College, under the name of the Randolph Academy, so called in honor of Governor Edmund Randolph, who was one of the original trustees. Its first principal was Rev. George Towers, a graduate of Oxford University, England. It was re-incorporated as the North-Western Virginia Acad- emy, in 1842 ; and in 1866 passed into the public school system, and survives to-day as the most excellent public high school of the city of Clarksburg, West Virginia. The North-Western Virginia Academy was patronised to some extent by Seventh Day Baptists after the West Union Academy was closed and perhaps before the latter was established.
A prospectus of the North-Western Virginia Academy marked in the handwriting of William F. Randolph, is in existence at the present time, filed away among the surviving papers of the West Union Academy. This prospectus embodies what are well known to have been William F. Randolph's ideals for the West Union Academy.
The fundamental weakness of the West Union Academy was the fact that while it was undertaken as a denominational school for which there was a crying need, it was also under- taken as a financial enterprise which was expected to pay handsome dividends to the stockholders. When these financial hopes were not fulfilled and the real character of the situation dawned upon the promoters of the enterprise, they became dis- appointed and discouraged. Those who could have supported it as a philanthropic institution refused to do so, and those who would have done so, were unable.
Nevertheless, the West Union Academy was by no means wholly a failure. Of its students, there went later to Alfred, New York, to attend Alfred Academy and University, five of the children of William F. Randolph; vis., Preston, Esther, Judson, Jethro, and Silas; together with their cousins Frank-

lin, son of Jepthah F. Randolph; and Darius King, son of Eliona Davis; besides Andrew Judson, son of Dr. Lathrop R. Charter, a leading surgeon and physician of Doddridge County. Neither Dr. Lathrop R. Charter nor his son, Andrew Judson, was a Seventh Day Baptist. The first named of these, Preston F. Randolph, afterward became the most potent edu- cational factor, which has ever appeared in the counties of Harrison, Doddridge, and Ritchie, of West Virginia.
Born nearly thirty years before the organisation of the public school system in that locality, he was taught to read by his older brother Waldo, who in his time had, along with two sisters and a brother, been taught by their father, who often conducted a school in his own home during the winter for his own children and those of his neighbors. The last of his father's schools Preston was permitted to attend, but he was not allowed to take part in the class recitations, owing to a grave defect of speech. Nevertheless, he carried along his school work, especially that in arithmetic, so satisfactorily, that he was invited to teach a school in an adjoining neighbourhood, because it was understood that he had "ciphered through the Rule of Three" in Pike's Arithmetic -a text book much in vogue in western Virginia in those days. He next attended a school taught near home by his older sister Harriet. Soon after that, Stephen Thomas West Potter arrived to open the proposed academy at West Union, and Preston, with five brothers and sisters, was sent there. Here he was kept for two years, when a lameness developed, which he has carried ever since. In the hope of at least arresting, if not permanently curing, this trouble, he was taken out of school at West Union and kept at home, until April, 1855, when, in company with his brothers Judson and Silas, and his sister Esther, he started for Alfred, New York, to attend Alfred Academy. The first sixty miles of the jour- ney was made in a road wagon to St. Mary's on the Ohio River. The remainder of the distance was travelled by steam- boat and railroad. At Alfred the brothers and sister boarded themselves at a total expense of less than seventy cents a week. Here Preston applied himself with diligence, and despite the fact that he was heavily handicapped physically, in a year and a half had equipped himself for teaching district schools.

He taught for two consecutive winters at Hebron, Penn- sylvania ; and the following winter, that of 1859-60, he spent in the home of Rev. Azor Estee at Petersburgh, New York, teaching the latter's son James A., and pursuing his own stu- dies. In the summer time he busied himself as a peddler in the New England States, especially Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. He then returned to Alfred, where he graduated in 1862. After graduation, he continued his studies at Alfred for a short time, when he went to Quincy, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, not many miles from Gettysburg, to teach school. The invasion of Lee's army closed the academy at Quincy, of which he was principal. Here he was visited at the home of Rev. Azor Estee, by Dr. Isaiah Bee, a surgeon in the invad- ing army, who had been a fellow student at the West Union Academy when it was conducted by Azor Estee. Military operations decided him to return home, and through the kind offices of his friend, Dr. Bee, he was enabled to pass through the Confederate lines, and reach home by way of Cumberland, Maryland, over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, after an absence from home of nearly seven years.
For the next three years, he was engaged for the most of the time in teaching select, or subscription, schools in New Salem and vicinity. Free schools were now opening, as teachers could be found for them, and Preston F. Randolph was kept busy for nearly twenty years, sometimes teaching thirteen school months of twenty days each in a year.
Besides the select schools, previously referred to, he taught at New Salem for more than two years, and during one winter at the home of his brother-in-law, Richard Ford, on Long Run. After the establishment of the Free School Sys- tem, he taught two years at West Union ; three on Buckeye Run, and on Flint Run ; all in Doddridge County : two and a half years at Berea and vicinity ; two years at Pennsboro; and six months at Ellenboro ; all in Ritchie County. The rest of the twenty years was spent in teaching at New Salem and near-by points in the western part of Harrison County. During all this time, he fondly cherished in his heart the hope that he might in some way be instrumental in realising for the Sev- enth Day Baptists in West Virginia, the object which had lain so near his father's heart for so many years; vis., the suc-

cessful establishment of a denominational academy. While the father's objective point for the location of such a school had been West Union, that of the son was New Salem. With the assistance of Rev. Charles A. Burdick, who was at that time labouring among the churches of West Virginia, under the auspices of the Seventh Day Baptist Missionary Society, and others, he succeeded in obtaining from the legislature of the state of West Virginia, a charter for an independent school district at New Salem, with the privilege of establishing an academy. A graded course of study was prepared for the new school, which was aided financially by the Peabody Educa- tional Fund, then recently established for the aid of education in the south. Until a suitable school building could be erected, the New Salem Seventh Day Baptist church was, on two differ- ent occasions, used for that purpose. Of the school thus estab- lished, Preston F. Randolph had charge for several terms.
Nor were his efforts confined solely to secular work. He organised, and in some cases, personally conducted success- fully, Sabbath Schools at New Salem and other Seventh Day Baptist points embraced in the localities where he taught.
He first introduced vocal music into the public schools of that part of West Virginia, and for several years he and the teachers whom he trained were the only ones who had singing in their schools.
Not the least important phase of his work was the train- ing of teachers for public schools.
With the establishment of the state of West Virginia in 1863, a public school system was organised, and teachers for these schools were in great demand. Wherever a compe- tent teacher was found, the school was crowded, not only with children, but with adults as well. It was not at all unusual to find, in a single school, pupils ranging from six-year-old children to men upwards of thirty years of age.
Preston F. Randolph's methods were not only novel and striking for his day and for his field of labour, but they were paedagogically good, even when compared with the best stand- ards of modern education. His schools were normal schools in the truest sense. The work was spirited, the results substan- tial, and here young men and young women preparing for teaching learned, truly by precept, but more truly by the

concretest of concrete examples, how teaching should be done. They in turn, went forth to their work as teachers in the spirit of their professional master.
Of the more successful of these teachers there may be mentioned, Luther F. Randolph, Davis N. Meredith, Thomas H. Lowther, Stillman F. Lowther, Thomas B. Pepper, John H. Benedum, and James A. Estee, the son of Rev. Azor Estee.
Among those of the pupils of Preston F. Randolph, who became teachers and then clergymen, were his brother Lewis F. Randolph, besides Gideon Henry F. Randolph, Experience F. Randolph, (now Mrs. Perie R. Burdick), Boothe Colwell Davis, and Samuel Hoffman Davis, all of whom are Seventh Day Baptist clergymen. Besides these, there were several teachers who afterward become clergymen of other denomi- nations, particularly the Baptist.
