sectarian. They were conducted by Mr. Willard E. Howell, a Baptist, assisted hy Mr. Zenas Williams, a Presbyterian. Mr. Howell and MEr. Williams were the leading spirits in the work afterward done in seenring funds to be used in building the chapel. The attendance at these neighborhood prayer-meetings grew so rapidly, and the interest in them so increased, that it became necessary to have more commodious quarters. To meet this want, those interested set to work soliciting money to build a chapel. No church organization was asked to con- tribute, the money being contributed by individuals who felt an interest in the work; but the greater part of those who gave were members of the Presbyterian and Baptist denominations. A plot of ground on Washington Street, near the Watchung Railroad, was secured, and a small chapel, with a seating capacity of about one hundred and fifty, was erected, which, to- gether with the lot, furniture, etc., cost about two thousand dollars. Dedicatory services were held in the chapel on Sept. 24, 1873. The property was held in the name of the trustees elected by the chapel society. When the building was first begun, both Baptists and Presbyterians mutually agreed that the chapel should be non-scetarian, but when the time came for it to be denominational the Baptists shouldl be given the first opportunity to take it. In addition to the Thur lay evening meetings, a service on Sun- day evening was begun and a Sunday-school was organized. Mr. Howell, who had been licensed to preach in the Livingston Baptist Church, preached in the chapel Sunday evenings and conducted the prayer-meetings, and the Rev. Il. Kirke White, a Presbyterian minister, and now a home missionary in the West, was elected superintendent of the Sunday- school. The chapel continued non-sectarian for several years, and the attendance at all the meetings was largely increased, until in 1877, when it became necessary to enlarge the chapel, which was done by adding two wings. The Rev. Mr. White held the position of superintendent of the Sunday-school for more than a year, and was succeeded by Mr. Howell, who held the position until the election of Mr. Zenas Williams, in the winter of 1875-76.
In 1879 the question of making the chapel denomi- national came up. According to agreement, the Bap- tists had the first opportunity to claim it, but they waived their elaim to the Presbyterians, who, how- ever, did not accept it. The Baptists then paid offthe mortgage on the chapel and assumed control of it. They, however, did not make it denominational, but conducted it as before, Mr. Williams still being su- perintendent of the Sunday-school. The Rev. J. L. Davis, who had been supplying a Baptist Church at C'roton, N. Y., for some time, in May of that year ac- cepted a call from the North Orange Baptist Church to take charge of the chapel, in which he preached his first sermon on Sunday, June 15, 1879, Mr.

Howell having stopped preaching there some time previous. In the early part of Iss] the North Orange Baptist Church decided to conduct the chapel strictly as a Baptist Church. The Presbyterians, then meet- ing there, withdrew, and at the same time took their children from the Sunday-school. This weakened the attendance considerably, but it soon began to in- crease again, and in the summer of 1882 the chapel was once more enlarged, an addition being put on the rear. Mr. Williams was succeeded by Mr. Ira L. Beebe as superintendent of the Sunday-school. Mr. Beebe served one year, and was followed by Mr. George Cooke, who served until January, 1884, when Mr. John Berryman was elected.
The organization of the chapel as an independent church was formally completed at the services held there Sunday morning, Feb. 3, 1884, when a large congregation was present. After the usual devotional exercises were concluded six candidates for baptism related their experience, when the usual preamble and resolutions necessary to organization, together with the rules of order, etc., were read and adopted. The name of the Washington Street Baptist Church was adopted, and the Rev. J. L. Davis was chosen pastor, and Alpheus A. Williams and George Cooke were elected deacons. William H. Canfield was elected clerk, and Mr. George Cooke treasurer. The ordinance of baptism was administered after the usual exercises. The chapel thus began its life as an independent church with forty-nine members, forty- two of whom were from the mother-church, the other seven joining by letter from other churches. The six baptized in the evening increased the membership to fifty-five. The church builling has a seating ca- pacity of four hundred. The Sunday-school attached is attended by two hundred and twenty-five scholars, who are taught by sixteen teachers.
RECOGNITION OF THE CHURCH .- An Ecclesiastical Council called by the church was convened in the church on Thursday, Feb. 28, 1884, at 2.30 o'clock, P.M. It was organized by choosing Rev. W. B. Parmley, D.D., of Jersey t'ity, as moderator, and Rev. E. Thompson, of Lakewood, as clerk. Prayer was offered by Rev. T. Vassar, D. D., of Newark. Twenty- three churches were represented.
The letter by which the Council was called, and the records of the church in reference thereto, were read, stating the object to be the recognition of a body of baptized believers as a regular Baptist Church. The articles of faith, church covenant, standing resolution and rules of order were referre i to a committee con- sisting of Rev. E. D. Simour, T. E. Vassar and Deacon I. C. Burt.
The committee on articles of faith, reported favor- ably, and the following resolution was adopted after hearing them read :
"WHEREAS, We have heard with great pleasure the reading of the Church Covenant, Rules of Order and Standing Revolution, and esteem them mont excellent and dewerving of special notice and worthy of the
como deration and adoption of the i hurches ; atul du ming frel in hearty accont with their Articles of Faith, and that their history and et te. menta give promin of a successful evangelical work in this field ; there fore be it
"Resolved, That we recognize this body of brethren as a regular in- dependent Baptist i Turch."
A committee of arrangements for the recognition services to be held in the evening was appointed, con- sisting of Revs. J. N. Folwell, Davis, Bourne, Hunt and Gibb. Rev. Addison Parker presided at the rec- ognition services; reading of Scriptures by Rev. E. Thompson, of Lakewood; opening prayer, Addison Parker, of Morristown; recognition sermon, E. A. Woods, of Paterson ; prayer of recognition, R. M. Martin, of Orange; hand of fellowship, W. F. Tav- lor, of East Orange ; charge to the church, A. W. Bourne, of Newark; benediction by the pastor, Rev. 1 1 .. David. The Council was dissolved after prayer by Rev. W. 11. Parmly.
Orange Valley Congregational Church .- The first pastor of this church was Rev. George B. Bacon, D.D., who served from 1861 until his death, in 1976. His successor in the pastoral office was Rev. Joseph A. Ely, who served from 1876 till the autumn of 1883. The church edifice is a beautiful Gothic structure, built in 1868, of trap rock, with brown-stonetrimmings, tall spire and chime of bells. The church is located on Highland Avenue, near Lincoln Avenue.
The deacons in 1831 were James Bell, A. Carter, Jr., Lowell Mason, A. T. Moore and R. H. Thayer ; Standing Committee, Alexander Brownlee, Atred Cranmelin and Richard Russell; Clerk, C. B. Crom- melin; Trustees, R. Il. Thayer, I. R. Lane, C. D. Merrell, G. Spottiswood, A. T. Hamilton and W. B. Gould. The membership of the church in 1×81 was three hundred and thirty-six. Value of church prop- erty, seventy thousand dollars.
St. John's Church (Roman Catholic) .- This parish was organized in 1850, and has continued to flourish from the start, and in 1869 commenced the erection of one of the most beautiful and imposing church edifices in the State. It is built of red sandstone and trap rock, taken from Orange Mountain, and is located on the corner of Ridge and White streets, the highest point of land in the city, rising to the height of two hundred and thirty-eight feet above the sea-level. The church is surmounted by a stone spire and cross, reaching an altitude of nearly or quite two hundred feet above the base of the edifice, and con- tains a chime of bells, the music of which greets the ears of the citizens of Orange both morning and evening, calling them from the cares of the world to the sanctuary of the Most High. The interior of the church is one of grandeur and beauty, finished in the most elaborate style of Gothic architecture, and has a seating capacity of one thousand, and a membership of four thousand. St. John's owns several adjoining lots upon which are buildings and residences suit- able for the great work this parish seems to have in hand. The Rev. Il. P. Fleming, the present beloved

priest of the parish, was installed in 1874. The schools of the parish are well attended and are in a flourishing condition. The Roman Catholic missions and schools in the valley are out-missions of St. John's. Value of church property, one hundred thousand dollars.
One of the Pioneer Ministers of the Mountain Society was Rev. Daniel Taylor, who came here as early as 1721, and purchased property on the corner of what is now Main and Hillyer Streets. From the number of deeds witnessed and apparently drawn by Mr. Taylor, he appears to have been the scrivener, as well as the minister of the parish. His ready pen and knowledge of legal forms were in frequent demand, and no doubt saved to the pioncer planters and par- ishioners many a fee that would otherwise have gone to the lawyers. His residence (afterward the tavern where the Park House now stands) bordered on the twenty acres bought of Thomas Gardner by the parish.
Besides the homestead, he had a tract of land lying a quarter of a mile to the north, on thesouthwest side of what is now Washington Street, afterward owned by the Williams family. Fifteen acres of this land were described as
· (Du certain tract er parcel of land situate, lying and being in the wunde of Newark afortid, at the mountain plantations, so called, and by a brook commonly called und known by the name of Parrow's brook. - beginning at a Walut tree marked on the western side of the highway; thence running northwest down to aud brunk ; thence unrthorly, as the brook runs, to the last of said Matthew Williams ; and thenes by his land to an highway, and so sound by highways to the place where it began : containing, and to contain, filtern acros, be there more or less.

This tract lay between the upper end of what is now Park Street and the brook, and was deeded by Daniel Taylor to Matthew Williams, Jr., June 1, 1731. The rest of his tract lay on the other side of Park Street, including the lot on which - Williams now resides. Between this and the road were twenty- six acres owned by Nathaniel Williams, and sold by him, Feb. 10, 1735, to Matthew Williams, who sold four neres of the same to the parish, or Mountain Society in 1748.

Cemeteries-OLD, OR PRESBYTERIAN BURYING- GROUND. - The "old cemetery," as it is known, is located on the corner of Main and Scotland Streets, in the city of trange, and is no doubt the oklest burying-ground in the county, outside the city of Newark, and for many years the only one in this part
of the county. It was deeded to the Mountain So- ciety by Nathaniel Wheeler. In 1792 about two acres were added to it by purchase from the heirs of Sam- uel Ogden. In it lie the remains of the ancestors of many of the prominent families now residing in the Oranges. The following are a few of the many inscriptions to be found in this city of the dead :
