Three Mile Point House is locat- ed on the banks of Otsego Lake, three miles from Cooperstown, and is under the able management of Mr. A. W. Thayer, who. as a "host," has had seven years experience, and consequently must "know how to keep a hotel," as his numerous patrous can tes- tify. Otsego Bass and Trout, and Game Dinners, are served here at all hours of the day. Pleasure parties will find Mr. T. a good man to stop with. See card, page 164.
B. F. Murdock & Bro., proprie- tors of the Cash and Accommodation Store, at Cooperstown, deal in Dry Goods Groceries, Crockery, Looking Glasses, Car- pets, Oil Cloths and everything usually kept in a country store.

INTRODUCTION.
INTRODUCTION.
In presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Otsego County," the publisher desires to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and without whose aid it would have been impossible to collect it in the brief space of time in which it is essential that all such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several Editors of the County papers, for the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling attention to the author's efforts; and to the following persons, viz., Hon. W. W. Campbell, Cherry Valley ; Rev. E. H. Saunders, Burlington ; Rev. C. Ayer, Morris ; Ash- ley Hotchkin, Schenevus; E. Blakeley and Elisha S. Saunders, Otego; Hon. Samuel S. Edick, County Judge, Cooperstown ; and John B. Hooker, Assistant Assessor Internal Revenue, Fly Creek ; for essential aid in furnishing material for the work. Many others have kindly volunteered their assistance, to all of whom we return our sincere thanks.
The following works have been consulted in its preparation : French's, Gordon's and Spafford's Gazetteers of the State of New York; Lossing's "Pictorial Field Book of the Revolu- tion ; " Campbell's "Annals of Tryon County;" "History of Cooperstown ;" Campbell's "Centennial Address," Cherry Valley; and many others.
That errors have occurred in so great a number of names and dates as are here given is probable ; and that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite certain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary

INTRODUCTION.
diligence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omissions we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as have been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which are found in the ERRATA, following the Introduction.
.
It was designed to give a brief history of all the church organizations in the County, but owing, in some cases, to the negligence of those who alone were able to give the necessary information, and in others, to the inability of any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit many or indefinitely delay the completion of the work. :
We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory.
The Map of the County was engraved with great care by Messrs. Weed, Parsons & Co., of Albany, and will, it is believed, 1 prove a valuable acquisition to the work.
The ADVERTISERS represent some of the leading business men and firms of this and other counties ; and we most cheer- fully commend them all to the patronage of those under whose observation these pages may come.
With thanks to our friends generally, we leave our work to secure the favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public.

The Buckeye Mowing and;
R. Russell & Co., proprietors of Reaping Machines-When the great the Central Cash Store, at Cooperstown. U. S. Trial of Mowers and Reapers was held | N. Y., advertise on page 156. Messrs. R. & at Syracuse in 1857, this admirable machine, Co. are too well known to need any com- mendation from us. They have been es- tablished over ten years, command a large trade, and keep a general assortment of Dry Goods, Groceries, and all other goods usually found in a first-class country store, and which they sell at New York prices. Call on them when you go to Cooperstown. which had just been brought out, surprised everybody by its novelty and many excel- lencies, and won the highest awards. At that time the valuable patents under which it was built were secured for several States by the enterprising firm which now con- tinues its manufacture, Adriance, Platt & Co. At the second great trial of Mowers Hinds & Parshall, Butchers and proprietors of Meat Market, Cooperstown. N. Y., keep a good supply of all kinds of Meats, constantly on hand, which they dis- pose of at such reasonable rates that no one need go hungry. See card on page 164. and Reapers, made by the N. Y. State Agri- cultural Society in 1866, the Buckeye again carried off the highest honors, showing that in the years intervening it had not gone backward in the race for superiority. Every new suggestion is thoroughly weighed, improvements only are adopted. The verdict of the people is nearly as unani- mous as that of the learned and practical committees who made these awards, for its sales far exceed those of any other ma- chine in the sections supplied by Adriance, Platt & Co. In fact they increase so fast, that the demand is almost always in ex- cess of the supply. The Self-Raking At- tachment on the Buckeye Machine has met with a success corresponding to that of the Mower, and has surpassed all others in the perfection of its operation. One great secret of the success of Adriance, Platt & Co., as mannfacturere, has been in the con- scientious manner in ,which they have built their machines, and the great dura- bility of the Buckeye machine has been largely due to the excellence of the mate- rial used and the mechanical perfection of the workmanship. See advertisement on Map.
Dr. Kingsley, of Rome, justly cele- brated for the many cures he has effected of that most distressing disease, Cancer, pub- lishes & notice on page 1. He is prepared to treat all serofulous diseases, and others of long standing, and assures his patients that they will not be charged a heavy bill and dismissed without receiving any bene- fit. Persons who cannot conveniently call upon him in person, can address him by letter, and will receive prompt attention. Dr. K. is a graduate, with an experience of over fourteen years in the practice of medi- cine. Let the afflicted give him a call.
Henry Bayer, Merchant Tailor and dealer in Gentlemen's Furuishing Goods, Cooperstown, publishes an appropriately Illustrated card on page 190. Those who want a good suit of clothes, made up in fashionable etyle and in a workmanlike manner, we recommend to call ou Mr. Bay- er, who will give you fils every time and charge you a reasonable price.

Threshers and Cleaners, Plowe, Scrapers, Castings and Machinery in general. The Works cover an area of two acres, and ! were started in 1812.

The Freeman's Journal, pub" lished at Cooperstown, by S. M. Shaw. was established in 1808. It is a live family newspaper and enjoys a liberal patronage.

The Empire Agricultural Works of Minard Harder, located in the village of Cobleskill, Schoharie Co., N. Y., were established in 1859 by Messrs. R. & M. Harder. Like most great enterprises, its beginnings were small and only a small number of machines were sold the first year; but the business has constantly in- creased until they now give employment to about twenty-five bands and seil about $50,000 worth annually. Mr. Minard Har- der, one of the original proprietors, is now the sole owner of these works and is man- ufacturing some of the best Threshing Ma- chines in the country, as well as other Im- plements. At the Great National Imple- ment Trial at Auburn, N. Y., in July 1866, a gold medal wys awarded to Messrs. Har- der for the beet Combined Thresher and Cleaner. The Committee, in speaking of the Endless Chain Horse Powers made by Mr. Harder, say, that "It works more equably, more smoothly and with less waste of power than any machines that we have ever met with. * * * The construction of this machine is such as to produce a sufficient speed for thresbing, by a very slow and easy movement, of the horses," while the mechanical execution of this power is deserving of the highest commendation. The best of materials and the best work- manship are combined in all machines com- ing from Mr. Harder's establishment. The Combined Thresher and Cleaner has several new features, rendering it superior to any other in use. Mr. Harder also man- nfactures Fanning Mills, Wood Saws, Seed Sowers and Planters.
