Mr. Fritts followed farming all his life, and was a well-known and enterprising citizen. He started in life poor, married young, and four or five years lived on rented farms, saving about two hundred dollars. Putting this with five hundred dollars borrowed money, he purchased a farm of one hundred and forty acres near Allertown, paying therefor, in eleven annual installments, sixteen dollars an acre, and meeting all his obligations for six years, when he soll the place for thirty-two dollars an acre. This was his start in a series of land-operations which he carried on largely and profitably during most of his life. With the proceeds thus acquired he bought the farm commonly called the Shirts farm, which he owned at his death. He afterwards bought the farm of eighty acres on which his son-in-law, Mr. MeCloughan, lives; he then bought the old homestead farm of his father and brother, consisting of one hundred and thirty-three acres, upon which he erected new build- ings, as also upon the Shirts farm; at the same time he bought a lot of twenty-three acres at Lebanon Depot, for which he paid three thousand six hundred dollars; he bought also for his son-in-law, George

Larue, a lot and shops near Dawestown, and pur- chased a farm of eighty-six acres adjoining the Shirts farm, of John Fine; he next bought of A. K. Kinney a farm of ninety-seven acres at Hamden, paying for the same thirteen thousand dollars; at the same time he purchased of Mr. Kinney the flax-mill and lot at Hamden. These are but a portion of his real estate operations ; he bought also a farm near Young's Mills containing one hundred and twenty-two acres, for which he paid eighty-one dollars an acre; and about two years before he died he bought a mill-property at Annandale for which he paid nine thousand four hundred and fifty dollars. Much of this property, of course, he bought and sold, so that at the time of his decease he owned four farms, two mill-properties, and considerable wood-land.

These facts are given not to make a parade of his

possessions, but to show how fortune sometimes at- tends the earnest efforts of a man who begins the struggle of life single-handed and without capital, save his own energy and industry. Mr. Fritts was a man of great firmness and excellent judgment; he read and kept himself well informed on current topics and matters of general occurrence; his judgment was frequently sought in matters of importance, and was usually found correct; he was calm and deliberate in coming to a decision, but when he made up his mind he was not easily moved. He was highly esteemed for his uprightness and integrity as a man and a citi- zen, and was called to settle a number of estates and to fill several of the responsible offices of his town- ship. He was freeholder and justice of the peace several years, and was a member of the Legislature for two terms,-1845 and 1846.

CLINTON VILLAGE.

CLINTON VILLAGE-or Clinton borough, as it is commonly known-is picturesquely located upon the South Branch of the Raritan River (which divides it), distant 54 miles from New York City. It includes within its limits eight farms, and had, in July, 1880, a population of 842. There is at this point on the Raritan's branch a fine water-power that has been utilized from time immemorial, and now drives two large grist-mills.

By an unfortunate chanee Clinton has no imme- diate railway facilities, although upon the south the Easton and Amboy Railroad passes within two miles of the town, and upon the east, an equal distance re- moved, is the line of the New Jersey Central Railroad. Annandale, a station upon the latter, is the point chiefly in demand by travelers to and from Clinton, stage connection between the two places giving fre- quent and easy communication. Despite the lack of railway transportation, Clinton is and must remain a flourishing town, by reason not only of its milling in- terests, but also because it is the centre of a rich agri- cultural district, and the locale, also, of well-nigh inexhaustible limestone- quarries. The village is handsomely laid out, carries on a mercantile trade of considerable importance, maintains two banks, two hotels, and a newspaper, and among its architectural features boasts four churches and a fine public school.

EARLY HISTORY.

During the Revolution, or perhaps sooner, Daniel Hunt, a Jerseyman, bought a considerable tract of land adjacent to the spot where Spruce Run enters the South Branch of the Raritan, and with it a grist-mill, "rudely

built of stone," that stood upon the site now occupied by the Parry mill. How long that mill had stood there or who erected it no man can now say, although it is supposed to have been an old mill when Mr. Hunt came into possession of it. At the death of Daniel Hunt the mill-property passed to his son Ralph. He probably succeeded to the property in 1810, and two years afterwards erected upon the opposite side of the stream a woolen-mill, which, slightly enlarged, is now Philip Gulick's grist-mill.

Before the Hunts came to the place, however, Ne- hemiah Dunham, a famous character in his day, was a resident on the west side of the river. In 1760 he bought 600 aeres (about one-third of the tract being now within the limits of the borough) of the great- grandfather of Secor Robeson, and in that year made his home there, his previous residence having been in Middlesex County. Mr. Dunham was a great cattle- raiser and dealer, and during the Revolution supplied the Federal army with vast quantities of beef. The greater portion of his estate is still in possession of his heirs.

Capt. Adam Hope, who came to Union township in 1765 from "the forks of the Delaware," located at a date not long after upon a place about 200 yards west of Corson's tavern.

As to other carly inhabitants, history will in this instance fix a point at 1818 and say what the village was then and what it became afterwards. The narra- tive touching the days of 1818 and immediately thereafter has been gleaned from the recollections of Judge Robert Foster, a native of Hunterdon County, and a resident in Clinton village since then. In that

545

CLINTON VILLAGE.

ycar Mr. Foster, then a lad of eighteen, came from what is now Union township (where his grandfather settled in 1760) to Hunt's Mills (as the present village was then and had long been known) for the purpose of learning how to make spinning-wheels at the shop of Gen. James W. Hope, who was manufacturing spinning-wheels, burning lime, trading horses, and farming, on the west side of the river. William A. Ilope, his son, now living near the old place, was in his time considered the greatest horseman and Jehu in those parts.

In 1818 there were also on the west side of the river John and James Dunham, farmers, and sons to Nehemiah Dunham, already named. John moved to Ohio that year, and James died on his farm two years afterwards. Aaron, his son, lives now in Clin- ton. There was a blacksmith-shop very near, where Jolin Case has a shop. Ralph Hunt owned it, and hired John Green to work it for him. In 1819, Green married, rented the shop, and carried it on himself until 1843, when he moved to " Headquarters," near Flemington, where he died a few years ago. Edward llagan, a cooper, and John Hagan, a tailor, had shops nearly opposite the present Democrat office. John was a bachelor, and boarded with his brother. They remained in the village but a brief time after ISIS. Michael Haggerty, a miller in the employ of Ralph Hunt, lived in a house just west of Green's blacksmith-shop. Elisha Hummer, a farmer, lived in a house now occupied by Jacob Fox, and Dr. Benja- min Hunt, who had been at Hunt's Mills from 1810 or before, was living in the house now occupied by James R. Kline. In 1818 he moved to Ohio, and following him as the village physicians came William P. Clarke and John D. Manners. Ralph Hunt, the miller, lived in a house on the site now occupied by Samuel Parry's house. All his mill-employees ex- cept Haggerty were single men and boarded at his house. Hunt had a grist-mill on the east side of the river and near at hand had also a fulling-mill. On the other side of the stream, directly opposite, in what is now known as Gulick's Mill, he carried on a flaxseed-oil mill, a plaster-mill, and a woolen-mill. Close by he had a saw-mill, while he did something also in the way of lime-burning.

Tradition relates that in 1798 three brothers named La Tourette rented the mills and opened a store at Hunt's Mills in the house subsequently the dwelling of Ralph Hunt, keeping it four years. Ralph Hunt kept store in the same building, but gave up the un- dertaking previous to 1818. In 1817, Abraham Bonnell established a small store about half a mile west of Green's smithy, but closed it within a twelvemonth. In that building, in 1818, Jesse Warne opened a sad- dler's shop. It would appear accordingly, from what has been written, that Hunt's Mills was not in those early days a lucrative field for the trader. In 1825, however, when J. W. Bray came in and reopened the old Ralph Hunt store, a new mercantile era ap-

peared to dawn. Bray was successful, and since 1825 the business history of Clinton has had no break. In 1818 a post-office was established at Hunt's Mills, and Ishe Hunt (son to Ralph Hunt) was appointed post- master. Mail was received onee a week by sulky ex- press, which traveled a mail-route from Trenton via Hunt's Mills to Frenchtown, and so on. Ishe Hunt was the Hunt's Mills postmaster until his removal from the town, in 1828.

TIIE NEW VILLAGE.

The year 1828 brought about a marked change in the condition of affairs at Hunt's Mills. Ralph IInnt and his sons, who up to that time had carried on the mills, succumbed to financial embarrassments, and, relinquishing the property to their creditors, removed in a little while to Ohio. Not one of the family now remains in or near Clinton. Archibald Taylor bought the mills and considerable adjacent property, and en- trusted the management thereof to his son, John B., and J. W. Bray, both of whom had for a time been associated in the distillery business near Hunt's Mills. In 1828, Bray & Taylor took hold of the mills, im- proved them and their surroundings, became partners in the store opened in 1825 by J. W. Bray, and, sur- veying a number of village lots on the east side of the river, re-christened the place Clinton as a mark of honor to De Witt Clinton, Governor of New York, who died about that time.

In 1828, Enoch Stevenson, a saddler and harness- maker, set up a shop in the village (dying after a few years), and Israel Smith opened a tavern in 1830 in a building previously erected by Bray & Taylor, and still kept as a tavern by John Corson. The same year Gen. Hope opened a tavern on the turnpike, about a mile cast of the village, in a house now occupied by Elijah Stout. Ile remained there a year, when, re- turning to the village, he bought out landlord Smith, whose old tavern-stand he kept for twenty-five years afterwards, and then left it to his son, William A., who was the landlord for some little time. Hope's successor was John C. Wert, who is remembered to have had in front of his tavern a sign bearing a picture of Gen. Pike. When Israel Smith sold his tavern business to Gen. Hope he crossed the river and built the brick tavern now known as Weller's Hotel, which he opened in 1832, kept it a dozen years or so, and soll to Jacob Corson, from whom John B. Weller & Brother got it.

In 1830 or 1831, Bray & Taylor disposed of their store business to James R. Dunham and George W. Taylor, and in 1834 financial misfortunes forced them to abandon their mill business. Dunham & Taylor thereupon became possessed of the mill on the east bank, and John W. Snider of the west side mill, Snider also opening a store on the west side in 1834. In 1836, Dunham & Taylor's mill was burned, but was rebuilt in the same year by Charles and James R. Dunham, who carried it on after that. It is now

known as the Parry mill. In 1832, Morris S. Stiger and John Race opened a store in the huilding now the residence of David Crotsley. Two years before that A. V. Bonnell and A. W. Dunham engaged in trading on the west side of the river. Morris S. Stiger and his father, Adam, soon huilt the store now occupied by J. A. Young, and for fully thirty years the former continued to be one of Clinton's leading merchants.

In 1839, James P. Huffman & Co. commenced busi- ness as traders on the west side of the river. The firm was composed of James P. Huffman (who in 1830 entered Bray & Taylor's employment as clerk), John A. Young, and Robert Foster (the latter of whom had been from 1818 engaged on the west side of the river in making spinning-wheels, chairs, coffins, etc.). Robert Foster is now one of Clinton's capitalists, J. A. Young is still in business in the village, while James P. Huffman has long been a well-known jurist. After a stay of nine months on the west side of the river, Messrs. Huffman & Co. removed to the stone store now standing on the east side of the river, built in 1829 by Bray & Taylor. In 1839, Augustus Kline commenced to trade in the building now occupied by Henry M. Kline, and after that John T. Leigh be- came a village merchant, although poor health forced him to retire from the business in a short time. With the statement that Jacob Corson built in 1856 the store-building now occupied by Mr. Shipman closes the reference to the growth of the business portion of Clinton.

As to the history of the Clinton post-office, J. W. Bray took it from Ishe Hunt in 1828 and kept it until 1834. The postmasters after that to the present have been Adam Stiger, Jas. P. Huffman, Adam Stiger (second term), Peter Van Pelt, Garret Servis, Peter Van Pelt (second term), Wm. H. Baker, and Charles W. Altemus, the latter since 1869.

The amount of un- paid taxes aggregated $69.63. The treasurer's report showed receipts of $2162.35, and payments of $1886.47, with balance on hand of $275.88.

SCHOOLS.

As far as present recollection goes, the first school taught in what is now Clinton village was a subserip- tion school, by Nathan Wakefield, in 1817, in an old building formerly used as a currying-shop on an old tan-yard about 100 yards east of the Clinton National Bank. The existence of that tan-yard dated back some years at that time, for it was then and had long been abandoned, the last proprietors having been Thomas Parish and Henry Stiger. Wakefield was teacher there but one term, although he taught in the neighborhood a long time.

The first district school-house in the borough limits was a stone structure, 20 feet square, built in 1827 (upon ground donated by David Miller), and stood at the corner of Centre and New Streets. The first tencher therein was Reuben Frame. Feb. 22, 1869, the borough voted, by 61 to 11, to have a new school- house, and appropriated $10,000 therefor. It is a handsome frame edifice, two stories in height, and oc- cupies a commanding site. There are four depart- ments, although but three are occupied. The school enumeration is 242. Principal, George Fleming ; Assistants, the Misses Walton and Rutan. The trus- tees of the district (numbered 53) are J. S. Madison, Erastus Runyan, and Alfred Fritts.

CHURCHES. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF CLINTON.

Previous to 1829 there was no publie prenching in the borough, although a Sunday-school, started in 1825 in a school-house near the present residence of Elijah Stout, was transferred to Gen. Hope's spinning- wheel factory in 1826, and in 1827 was held in the village school-house, just then erected. The demand for church services at home was not over-urgent, for the reasons that the population was meagre and churches near by, at Bethlehem and Lebanon. When Clinton village began to expand, however, church conveniences began to assume the form of a pressing demand, and in response thereto the New Jersey Mis- sionary Society, at the recommendation of Dr. Archi-

bald Alexander, sent William Millar Carmichael, a graduate of Hamilton College and Princeton Theo- logical Seminary, and a licentiate of the Presbytery of Albany. His first sermon was preached in May or June, 1829, in the village school-house. He con- tinued his labors six weeks, and, returning to l'rince- ton to graduate, came again to Clinton in the follow- ing November, and remained until March, 1830, when he passed to other fields. In 1829 the Presbytery of Newton sent also occasional supplies to Clinton, and for two years after Carmichael's departure pro- vided preaching about two Sabbaths each month. Among these supplies were Revs. Hutton, Campbell, Kirkpatrick, Clark, Van Dervoort, Blauvelt, and Gray.

During the winter of 1829-30 an agitation in favor of the erection of a Presbyterian church took shape, and at a meeting in which A. C. Dunham, J. W. Bray, J. B. Taylor, Nehemiah Dunham, A. W. Dunham, A. S. Taylor, and others participated it was resolved to build a house of worship upon a lot donated by Bray & Taylor, and the work of construction, being commenced in May, 1830, was completed the same year, in which the edifice was also dedicated. Al- though a church was built in 1830, a church organi- zation was not effected until June, 1831, when the work was accomplished by a committee of the Pres- bytery of Newton, consisting of Drs. Kirkpatrick, Campbell, and Gray. The number of communicants at organization was 10,-to wit, William 11. Yauger, Sr., Mrs. Yauger, John Race and wife, Nehemiah Dunham and wife, John H. Rodenbough and wife, Mary Ann Emery, and A. W. Dunham.

The elders ordained on that occasion were Nehe- miah Dunham, William HI. Yauger, and John Race. The first pastor provided for the church was Alexan- der Macklin. He was sent as stated supply in April, 1832, and in 1833 was ordained. During his first year he increased the membership from 13 to 56, and at the close of his second year to 76. Oct. 6, 1833, the Ladies' Missionary Society, still active, was formed. The othicers were Mrs. Mary Bray, Dircetress ; Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, Treasurer ; Mrs. Lydia A. Miller, Secretary ; Mrs. Adaline Taylor and Mrs. Ann Field, Managers.

Mr. Macklin severed his connection with the church in the fall of 1835, and to him, in June, 1836, suc- ceeded Rev. Arthur B. Bradford, who remained a little more than two years. Rev. Albert Williams preached as stated supply from December, 1838, to May, 1839, was then installed as pastor, and re- mained until November, 1848. During his pastorate the church building was burned (Sept. 22, 1845), but rebuilding was at once. commenced, and in Novem- ber, 1846, the new house was dedicated. The next pastor, Rev. James C. Watson, was installed in No- vember, 1849, but remained only a year, and after that dependence was had upon supplies until Novem- ber, 1851, when Rev. John McNair was installed.
