The Second Presbyterian Church .- In the above quotations from the historical sermon of Rev. Joseph G. Symmes, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, reference is made to the cause which led to the organization of the Second Presbyterian Church. Allnding to the organization of the Second Church he says, "And this result, it is now plainly to be seen, was ordered in the wisdom of God for the furtherance of the kingdom of his Son. None now can fail to see that this was just what was needed. A full church must either extend its growth beyond its own borders or decline. . . . The Second Church went rapidly forward, side by side with the mother- church, and we feel that we are almost as one con- gregation with two houses of worship."
The causes that led to the separation are thus re- ferred to in the records of the Second Church :
" A number of the members of the First Presbyte- rian Church in Cranbury finding themselves unable to obtain adequate room for their families to worship in their old church, and having endeavored in vain to obtain either au enlargement of that edifice or the erection of a new and more spacious one, thought it their duty to withdraw and erect a new house of worship for themselves and snch others as might unite with them."

CRANBURY.
Accordingly in the autumn of 1837 they com- menced the erection of a new building, which was completed in June, 1838, and was dedicated June 26, 1838. The said members also, by delegate duly ap- pointed for that purpose, applied to the Presbytery of New Brunswick to take measures for organizing them- selves into a new church. The Presbytery having had the subject before them repeatedly at previous meet- ings, June 19, 1838, in conformity with their request, appointed Rev. Samuel Miller, D.D., professor in the theological seminary at Princeton, and Rev. David Comfort, pastor of the church in Kingston, a commit- tee to attend as soon as convenient and organize a second church in Cranbury.
The committee attended at Cranbury agreeable to due notice given June 28, 1838, and performed the service for which they were appointed. A sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Miller from Acts xiv. 23. After the sermon testimonials of membership and dis- mission from the First Church in Cranbury were pro- duced in favor of the following-named persons :
Dominicus Mershon, Gertrude Mershon, Isaac G. Snediker, Jacob Snediker, Mrs. Catharine Snediker, Aaron Lane, Elias Dey, Mrs. Eliza Dey, Miss Leah Stults, Dr. Garret P. Voorhees, Mrs. Cornelia Voor- hees, George Barclay, Mrs. Margaret Barclay, Henry Lane, James Clark, Mrs. Sarah Clark, William Hutch- inson, Benjamin M. Clark, Mrs. Violetta Clark, Mrs. Ellen Dey, Garret S. Davisou, Mrs. Ann Davison, Saralı Schenck, Reuben Morris, Mrs. Catharine Mor- ris, George Davison, Mrs. Mary Davison, Mrs. Mar- garet Snediker, Miss Mahala Everett, Miss Keturah E. Everett, John Covert, and Mrs. Elizabeth Covert.
The first ruling elders were Jacob Snediker, Elias Dey, Aaron Lane, Isaac G. Snediker, Dominicus Mer- shon, and John Covert. The elders now serving are J. D. Barclay, D. C. Lewis, J. H. Stults, and J. S. Silvers. The deacons are J. S. Dey, J. T. Mershon, Peter Barclay, John H. Dey, J. G. Grover, Frank Brown, James Faw, and William Stults.
Rev. J. W. Blythe was installed first pastor in 1838. His successors, with the years in which they have been installed, have been as follows: Rev. Thomas D. Hoover, 1856; Rev. J. B. H. Janeway, 1868; and Rev. J. L. Van Dyke, 1869.
A chapel, built in 1839-40 on the site of the present one, was sold in 1869, removed,1 and replaced by the latter at a cost of $3000. The house of worship and the lot on which it is built are valued at $12,000. The value of the parsonage is $4000.
The present membership of the Second Church is 325. Many members of this church united with the Jameshurg Church in 1854, the Manalapan Church in 1856, the Hightstown Church in 1857, and the Dayton Church in 1869.
The Sunday-school was organized in 1838, with Benjamin M. Clark as first superintendent. Mr.
Clark was succeeded in 1860 by the present superin- tendent, J. S. Davison. The school numbers about one hundred and thirty scholars, and has a library of one hundred and twenty-five volumes.
The Old Baptist Church .- Some Baptists seem to have.located in Cranbury at an early date, and there was a Baptist Church planted in the village in 1749. In 1788 it was removed to Hightstown, where it has grown into a large and flourishing congrega- tion. The old Baptist burying-ground is elsewhere referred to.
The Methodist Episcopal Church of Cranbury. -Previous to 1847 Methodist services were held in Cranbury at the houses of members of an organ- ization of that denomination which had then been formed, and at times in the village school-house. December 10th that year the organization was per- fected, and a church was soon incorporated, of which the following-named persons were the first trustees : Matthew A. Rue, Isaac Silvers, Elijah Brown, Gil- bert S. Day, James Prall, and Reuben Sutphin.
A lot was purchased of George W. Shenck, and . the erection of a house of worship begun. Dec. 10, 1848, the corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The basement of the building was ready for occupation, and first used by the con- gregation in the spring of 1849, and the church was completed and dedicated by Rev. Wesley Burtine and others March 13, 1851. In 1868 the membership had so increased that the church was inadequate to the accommodation of the congregation, and it was enlarged, thoroughly renovated, and provided with a spire and bell, which until then had been wanting. The present value of the church property, including a parsonage worth $1200, is $5200.
The successive pastors of this church, with the dates at which they have respectively begun their labors, are as follows :
Revs. Isaac Hugg, 1847 ; Samuel Van Zandt, 1849 ; F. Loomis, 1850; John B. Hill, 1851; Smith, 1852; Isaac W. Hough, 1854; Francis F. Wolfe, 1855 ; George H. Jones, 1856 ; Daniel L. Adams, 1858; Jo- seph Jones, 1859; J. T. Tucker, 1861; B. T. Wool- ston, 1863; J. W. McDougall, 1865; Alexander Gil- more, 1866 ; C. D. Mead, 1867; J. H. Stockton, 1868 ; T. C. Barman, 1870; J. F. Heileman, 1873; W. S. McGowan, 1875 ; T. D. Sleeper, 1877 ; S. Goldsmith, 1878; E. A. Bray, 1878; Enoch Green, 1879; W. N. Ogborne, 1881.
The membership is one hundred and two. The Sunday-school was organized in 1848. It has a mem- bership of fifty. The library contains one hundred and twenty-five volumes. The superintendent is A. H. Snow.
In January, 1882, the stewards of this church were E. V. Wakely, recorder; Alexander S. Cole, E. R. Van Dusen, A. H. Snow, E. Brown, W. H. Reynolds, T. L. Reed, and B. C. Reynolds. The trustees were Samnel Nutt, president ; E. R. Van Dusen, secretary

and treasurer ; Alexander S. Cole, Robert P. Mason, Matthew Reynolds, and Joseph Reynolds.
The African Methodist Church .- Formerly there was an African Methodist Church in a portion of Cranbury village locally known as " Africa" and " the colored neighborhood." The organization was always weak, and finally and some years ago its little house of worship was converted into a dwelling.
Burial-Places .- THE BRAINERD CEMETERY .- Brainerd Cemetery is located on Main Street, Cran- bury, south of the brook. Its affairs are under the management of the following officers and trustees : John G. Stults, president; E. O. Howell, treasurer; A. S. Applegate, secretary ; Vincent Perrine, W. I. Stults, and Ellison Dey, This burying-ground was donated to the First Presbyterian Church of Cran- bury by James Rochead in 1740, and embraces five acres, It was laid out in lots in 1858. Burials were made there soon after the donation of the land. It is not known that there were earlier ones elsewhere in the township.
The following inscriptions are copied from head- stones in this cemetery, in which about four thousand bodies are supposed to be buried :
" Here lies the body of John, son of Henry and Catherine Disbrow, who departed this life January the 3rd, ANNO DOMINI, one thousand, seven hundred and forty-eight."
" Here lies the body of James Cofton, son of Hugh and Jane Coftoo, who departed this life October 20th, 1758."
"Ia memory of Catharine, wife of Isaiah Shaw, who departed this life March the 3rd, 1767."
"In memory of Susannah Reid, who departed this life August 12th, 1792.1
" In memory of Margaret, wife of William Reid, who departed thie life November 22nd, 1793."
"In memory of Phebe, wife of Daniel Duncan, who departed this life July 23rd, 1795."
"In memory of John Duacan, who departed this life May 21st, 1795."
Many headstones in this cemetery bear no inscrip- tions. The inscriptions on some are illegible. Here was erected by "his many friends" a fine monument to the memory of the engineer for the various rail- road companies that constructed lines of railway through this portion of the State, "Maj .- Gen. Wil- liam Cook, born at Hightstown, N. J., May 29, 1801; died at Hoboken, N. J., April 21, 1865."
Here is also a monument erected to the memory of soldiers from the townships of Cranbury, Monroe, and South Brunswick who lost their lives in service during the late civil war. It bears the following names and dates of death:

THE OLD BAPTIST BURYING-GROUND .- During the period of the Cranbury Baptist Church (1749-88) a burying-ground was in use by that denomination, which has been long neglected and contains many early graves, whose location and the names of whose occupants will never be known. Only four headstones remain standing, and only two or three are to be found lying on the ground. The inscriptions on the latter are undecipherable. The following inscriptions are copied from the four headstones which are yet sup- posed to mark the resting-place of the persons whose names they bear :
" Here lies buried the body of John, son of Joseph and Margaret Taylor, who departed this life January 20th, 1761."
" In memory of John Chamberlain, who departed this life March 15th, 1783, aged 71."
" In memory of Hannah Chamberlain, who departed this life June 30th, 1807."
"In memory of James Perrine, who departed this life March 26th, 1811, aged 79 years and 10 months."
THE BURYING-GROUND OF THE SECOND PRES- BYTERIAN CHURCH .- In the yard of the Second Pres- byterian Church at Cranbury is a burying-ground, which has been laid out in lots and is in charge of James Dafter. Its area is about three acres, and it was opened soon after the erection of the church (1837-38), and contains many graves. The proceeds from the sale of lots are devoted to improvements.
