Horse-racing and playing at quoits and cards were not the only amusements indulged in by the early settlers. Men differed not so much from the people at the present time as many seem to think. The old pioneers had not attained to perfection in the art of self-defense, as at the present day, yet they were not without their oft-repeated pugilistic encounters. These two old hostelries were also the scenes of many severely- contested encounters between persons of different lo- calities. As is not known to many of the present generation, some of the old pioneers of this and other townships were giants in stature and herculean in strength. Often did these men of such physical power meet at "Concord," and there test their pow- ers of endurance. Among those giants were such men as the Axfords, Davis, Metlers, Pralls, Davisons, Wyckoffs, Pettys, Vannettas, Hoffmans, Wellers, Wandlings, and others. John Linn was an excep- tion,-that is, he was in his day acknowledged to be the most powerful man, physically, in this State. He could take a 40-gallon cask of cider and hold it up to his mouth and drink from the bung-hole as easily, to all appearances, as an ordinary person could hold a gallon jug to his mouth and drink out of it. Many interesting stories might be told of John Linn and a few others did space permit. Another of these pioneer "characters" was Tom Quick, the Indian-killer. He was as fond of " drawing a bead" on an Indian as on any other wild animal, as he often expressed himself.

Another source of amusement practiced by the pio- neers was that of a " fox-chase." Some one would procure a live fox, and at an appointed time the old settlers would appear at John Summers' tavern with their dogs, pay their entrance fee, give the fox a fair start, let the dogs loose, and the fun commenced. The owner of the dog that reached the fox first had his entrance fee refunded to him. A good supper at the tavern usually followed the afternoon out-door sports.

IV .- CIVIL ORGANIZATION.

This township was formed from Greenwich about the year 1753. It derived its name from the Oxford Furnace, so called by its founder, Jonathan Robeson, in 1741, in honor of his father, Andrew, who had been sent to England and educated at Oxford Uni- versity.

For want of more complete township records, the following lists of principal officers, with the ex- ception of freeholders, do not quite go back to the date of the formation of the county :

July 25, 1876, the township committee met and divided the township into two election districts, in accordance with an act of the State Legislature passed April 18, 1876. The districts are known as the East and West election districts.

V .- VILLAGES AND HAMLETS.

OXFORD FURNACE, the principal village in the township, is situated near the southwest boundary line of the township, on the line of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, and on the sur- rounding hills. The first settler was he who first set- tled the township, or rather Jonathan Robeson, who built the pioncer furnace at this place. Taking the Oxford Iron Company's store for a centre, there are three or four suburban villages around it,-Tunnel Hill village on the east, Jonestown on the south, Dutch Hill on the west, Pittengerville on the north- west, and Smithville on the north. From no one of these places can the other be distinctly seen, and no one would imagine, from passing through the town or towns, that the census enumerators found 3000 souls at this place. The mercantile business is monopo- lized by the company store, which is a mammoth concern, though not a monopoly in the sense in which the term is generally used. There is a general store at Jonestown, a small store on Dutch Hill, another small one at Smithville, also a drug-store at the same place, kept by J. A. Allen. llere are also four churches,-Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, and Lutheran. The rolling-mills, nail- works, and other branches of industry at this place employ several hundred hands. (See Iron Industries, by Col. Scranton, pp. 78-80 of this work.)

BITTEVILLE is a small hamlet in the east part of the township, in the Pequest valley, and on the line

WARREN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. At this place are a Methodist Episcopal church, school-house, grist-mill, store, and post-office.

BRIDGEVILLE is another small hamlet farther down the Pequest valley. This place was settled originally by the Titman, Banghart, and Mackey families, whose descendants are the principal inhabitants in the vicin- ity. Here are located the Cedar Grove grist-mill, school-house, and a few dwellings, with a railroad depot.

SAREPTA is a small hamlet in the north end of the township. The early settlers in this vicinity were the Hopler, Quick, Boyer, and Derenberger families. Here are a grist-mill, school-house, and five or six dwellings.

OXFORD, known sometimes as "Old Oxford," "Lit- the Oxford," but more familiarly known in early days as "Hog Holler," has lately assumed the name of " Hazen Post-Office," and hung out a sign to that effect, in honor of the third assistant postmaster- general of the United States. Here are located the old Oxford church, a distillery, school-house, store, blacksmith- and wheelwright-shop, and several dwell- ings.

VI .- SCHOOLS.

There are in Oxford township nine school districts, named and bounded as follows :

Oxford Furnace District, No. 32, is bounded on the southeast by Wash- ington towoship; on the west by Pittengerville District; and on the north by Buttzville and Pace's Districts.

Pittengerville District, No. 33, is hoonded on the east and south by Ox- ford Furnace District; on the southwest by Little York District ; on the northwest by Oxford Church District; and on the northeast by Buttz- ville District.

Oxford Church District, No. 36, one of the interior districts of the township, is bounded on the southeast by Pittengerville District; on the south by Little York ; on the west and northwest by Belvidere; and ou the north by Bridgeville District. The settlement of this district was commenced as early as 1740, and the old Oxford church built in 1744.

Bridgeville District, No. 37, is also an interior district, and bounded on the east by Buttzville District; on the south by Oxford Church District ; on the west by Belvidere District; and on the north by Sarepta District.

Sarepta District, No. 38, located in the extreme north corner of tho township, is bounded on the northeast by Hope township; on the south- east hy Buttzville District; on the south by Bridgeville District; on the southwest by Belvidere District; on the northwest by Delaware River and Knowlton township.

Buttzville District, No. 39, on the east side of the township, is bounded on the northeust by Hope township; on the east by Pace's District; on the south by Oxford Furnace District; on the southwest by Pittengerville District ; on the west by Bridgeville District; and on the northwest by Sarepta District.

Paco's District, No. 40, located in the east angle of the township, is bounded on the northeast by Hope township; on the southeast hy Mans- fiold township; on the south hy Oxford Furnace District; and on the southwest and northwest by Buttzville District.

Total num- ber of children between the ages of 5 and 18 years was 1232, with an average of nearly teu months' school. Total number of children enrolled on school register was 1061. Average attendance, 502. School-house will accommodate 735 scholars. Thirteen teachers were employed, of whom six were females.

VII .- CHURCHES. OLD OXFORD CHURCH .*

This is one of the oldest churches in Presbytery of Newton. As early as 1739 there was occasional preaching in the bounds of the congregation. In 1744, Rev. James Campbell preached several times and baptized some children. The Rev. David Brain- erd, Indian missionary, and Rev. Daniel Lawrence also preached sundry times till the year 1749. At that time the congregation unanimously put them- selves under the care of the Presbytery of New Brunswick and made application for supplies, and have ever since considered themselves belonging to said Presbytery.

In 1755 the Rev. Thomas Lewis officiated as stated supply for some time. In 1764 three elders were chosen, and ordained by Rev. Benjamin Hait. About the same time a call was made out to the Rev. John Rosebrough to officiate in connection with Greenwichi and Mansfield-Woodhouse, which call was accepted, and he continued as the stated minister for the space of five years, one-third of his time. This man should be remembered at this time for his services to his country.+

After his leaving Oxford, several supplies officiated till 1775, when application was made to the Rev. John Dabow, who supplied Mount Bethel and Oxford, and afterwards accepted a call and continued for some time as pastor to serve the two churches alternately.

In 1777 the Rev. Philip Stockton accepted a call in connection with Knowlton and Mansfield-Woodhouse, and continued three or four years. From this time several supplies officiated until 1787, when the Rev. Asa Dunham became pastor of the churches of Oxford and Mount Bethel. He continued pastor till 1797. His salary from Oxford for one-half of his time was £50. The last two years of his ministry it was raised to £75. He was a native of Hopewell, N. J. He was three times married, his second wife being a daughter of Abraham Axford. In appearance, it is said, he was stout and tall, with a fair, full face and sandy hair. He was a man of pleasant address and a good preacher.

Some time between the years 1797 and 1802 the Rev. John Boyd was stated supply. As a preacher he was rather heavy. After several attempts to secure a pas- tor, the Rev. David Barclay was called, and became pastor of Oxford, Mount Bethel, and Knowlton from 1805 to 1812. He was eccentric and brought much trouble to himself by his oddities, but he was a good

OXFORD.

man, of good abilities, quick, earnest, and energetic in his motions and speech, of stout, athletic frame, and in temperament impetuous and imprudent.

In 1814, Rev. Garner A. Hunt supplied the pulpit for some time. In 1818, August 29th, Lemuel F. Leake received a call to become stated supply of the two congregations, Oxford and Harmony, and afterwards became pastor, continuing in this capacity till Oct. 19, 1825. He died in 1866, at Mount Nebo, Pa. From 1826 to 1828, Sylvester Graham was stated supply.

In 1829, when the Rev. Isaac N. Candee was called, his whole time was devoted to Oxford, to which all the Presbyterians and many if not all of the Method- ists of Belvidere belonged. Mr. Candee continued with Oxford Church as stated supply till the First Presbyterian Church of Belvidere was formed, when he became its pastor. Mr. Candee's ministry was the most successful that Oxford Church has ever enjoyed. He died June 19, 1874. Ile had admirable helpers; his elders (John Clark, William Loder, Chapman Warner, John M. Sherrerd, and George R. King) were men of mark as well as of fervent piety.

When the First Presbyterian Church of Belvidere was formed, in 1824, Elders George R. King, William C. Morris, Chapman Warner, and John M. Sherrerd, and 37 members were dismissed to join the new organization. Deprived of so much strength, the mother-church felt unable by itself to support a pastor. They therefore again made an alliance with the Presbyterian Church of Harmony, and to- gether they called the Rev. Robert Love. He sup- plied the two pulpits February, 1835, to October, 1838. He died Oct. 9, 1838, lamented by all who knew him. Ilis mortal remains sleep in Harmony Presbyterian burying-ground. A substantial me- morial, crected by these churches, marks his resting- place and the respect in which he was held by the people. During the years 1839 to 1842, the Rev. John Carroll, now of Easton, Pa., was the pastor of Oxford and Harmony. They wisely resolved to have the next pastor all to themselves. Accordingly, they ex- tended a call to the Rev. James McWilliams, which was accepted, and he continued with them from Dec. 6, 1842, till November, 1853. He came here a young man, this church being his first charge. He was a very scholarly man, and had he been more selfish and less diffident he might have won more fame and glory for himself, but less honor to his Master. Next to Mr. Candee's ministry for success comes that of Mr. McWilliams. This earnest worker died Aug. 20, 1873, in the fifty-fourth year of his age.

THE SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF OXFORD,

at Oxford Furnace, is a daughter of the old mother- church of Oxford, known as " Oxford First." It was organized May 8, 1863, by a committee of the Presbytery of Newton, consisting of the Rev. A. II. Hand, D.D., the Rev. E. D. Bryan, and the Rev. W. H. Kirk, and Ruling Elders, James Ililes, Jo-

seph Roseberry, and John MI. Sherrerd, Esq. The original roll of members is as follows, all comiog into the new organization by letter from the First Church of Oxford : Mrs. Frances Addis, Mr. Elisha Beers, Mrs. Rachel S. Beers, Miss Margaret Beers, Miss Lavina Beers, Mr. Henry A. Kingsbury, Mrs. Sarah R. Kingsbury, Mrs. Margaret Meredith, Mrs. Elizabeth Poole, Mr. Selden T. Scranton, Mrs. Ellen C. Scranton, Mr. Charles Scranton, Mrs. Jane A. Scranton, Miss Ellen H. Scranton, MIrs. Margaret Stout, Mr. William Stout, Mrs. Sarah Stout, Miss Re- beeca Van Syckle, Mr. Henry Wolfinger, Mr. Fred- erick Wolfinger, and Mrs. Mary Young. From these Messrs. Elisha Beers, Henry A. Kingsbury, and Sel- den T. Seranton were chosen and ordained to the office of ruling elder.

The congregation worshiped for a time, as it had for years previous to the organization, in a little stone chapel, built in 1848, during the pastorate of the Rev. James Me Williams, at Old Oxford. On Jan. 31, 1866, the present church edifice, a neat briek structure, 44 by 65 feet, was dedicated to the worship of God, the Rev. W. H. Kirk, then pastor of the First Presbyte- rian Church of Belvidere, preaching the dedicatory sermon. Rev. Isaiah B. Hopwood, now of Newark, N. J., was elected pastor almost immediately at the organization of the new church, and though never installed served the people faithfully and with a large measure of success till July 1, 1865. The present or- cupant of the pulpit came by invitation of the Ses- sion, and preached in the old chapel on the first Sab- bath after the retirement of Mr. Hopwood. The invitation was repeated and accepted. He was soon called to the pastorate, but by request of the people his installation was delayed till the completion and dedication of the new church building, which took place, as already stated, Jan. 31, 1865. In 1873 a debt of over $6000 that had been resting on this house of worship was removed, and a parsonage, costing about $3000, was erected through the liber- ality of the congregation. The present value of the church property is $15,000.

The Sabbath-school in connection with the church was for a long time under the superintendence of Mr. S. T. Scranton. Mr. Charles Seranton is its pres- ent superintendent. The number of officers, teachers, and scholars on the roll of the school is about 325, and the average attendance about 200.

The present membership of the church is 211, of whom 32 are living without the bounds of the con- gregation, and have neglected to secure letters of dis- mission to other churches. The entire membership of the church since its organization is 315; 19 have died, and 85 have been dismissed.

Mr. Elisha Beers, Mr. Henry A. Kingsbury, and Samuel Sherrerd, Esq., in addition to the present board, have served the church as ruling elders, and Messrs. Charles Scranton, John Jones, and William Stout as trustees. The present officers of the church

and congregation are as follows: Pastor, E. Clarke Cline ; Ruling Elders, Messrs. Selden T. Seranton and John Schoonover; Deacons, Messrs. Samuel Jones, Oliver N. Perry, and James H. Lukens; Trus- tees, Messrs. Selden T. Scranton (president), William A. Jones, Charles B. Weston, Isaac F. Ward (seere- tary), and Theodore P. Burd (treasurer).

BUTTZVILLE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

More than fifty years ago Methodism was estab- lished in this place by the traveling itinerant whose voice was heard in school-houses, shops, and barns, and other places where congregations could be gath- ered to hear the Word of God.

Father Best, as he was familiarly called, is said to have preached here about fifty years ago; Rev. James Long somewhere about the same time. These were followed by Jacob Hevener, Caleb Lippineott, George Banghart, Edward Sanders, Isaac Winner, James Dandy, M. S. Swain, B. Chattels, James More, W. C. Hudson, Vincent Shepherd, David Bartine, and Milford Day. Manning Force, Abraham Gear- hart, and F. A. Morrell were also among the earlier preachers.

In 1840 the Methodists had become so strong as to build a church (the school-house had been used for services previous to this), and the next year the build- ing was completed and dedicated, Rev. David Bar- tine officiating at the dedication, Rev. William Baker being preacher in charge, and Joseph Blamie as- sistant.

During the dedicatory services the soul of Brother Blamie passed to his eternal rest.

Among the preachers who occupied the pulpit of the church, which is now forsaken and going to ruin, were Ichabod Carmichael, M. S. Swain, George Bang- hart, E. M. Griffith, J. T. Craue, J. W. Seran, R. Van- horne, J. W. Cole, Thomas Diedrick, James I. Mor- row, J. D. Hays, W. H. Haggerty, C. A. Wambough, J. T. Michaels, and Henry Littz.

In 1876 a new, pleasant, and commodious church was finished and dedicated, Dr. Ives officiating at the dedication. The whole debt was provided for on the day of dedication.

Most of those who joined the church forty or fifty years ago have gone to their rest above. The society at this place now numbers about 60 members. Value of church property, $2000. Rev. P. G. Ruekman closed a three years' pastorate in April, 1881.

OXFORD METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

This church or society is located at Oxford Furnace, and was organized in 1867, at the residence of John C. Gould, by Rev. J. L. Hays, with the following- named persons : Baxter Booth, Fanny Booth, John C. Gould and wife, Jacob R. Smith, Naney Smith, Mrs. Henry Forrester. They resolved at the same meeting to build a church. According to resolution, a lot was secured, and in due time a small frame building was in readiness for dedication. The dedi-

catory servicees were performed by Revs. A. L. Briee aud John Hanlon, assisted by the pastor. This church was built with a seating capacity of 75.

Accessions having been made, it was decided in 1872 to secure a more eligible lot, on which to build a larger and much more commodious edifice. This new enterprise was inaugurated during the pastorate of Rev. S. K. Russell, who succeeded in securing lots, upon which was erected a building calculated to meet the demands of the times and the requirements of the people.

The original intention was to construct a two- story building, with a Sunday-school and class-rooms in lower story and an audience-room in upper story. Only the lower story has been completed ; the upper room remains unfinished. The basement was dedi- cated in the fall of 1872, by the presiding elder, Rev. M. E. Ellison, assisted by the pastor, Rev. S. K. Rus- sell. The building thus far has cost $7000, and, owing to the shrinkage in values, it is now estimated at $4000. Present membership, 112.

At one time Buttzville was united with Oxford, when Rev. J. L. Hayes was pastor; since then the following have been the pastors :

J. P. Macaulay, 1867-68 ; W. H. Haggerty, 1868-70 ;* G. Smith, 1870-71 ; S. K. Russell, 1871-73; M. F. Warner, 1873-74; J. P. Macaulay, 1874-77; A. L. Wilson, 1877-78; E. N. Crasto, 1878-81.

The first Sunday-school superintendent was J. S. Matthews; the present one is the pastor in charge.
