PREFACE.
The undersigned committee, appointed to supervise the publication of the proceedings at the Re-Union of the former residents of Pompey, have felt, and upon inquiry have found, that a simple history of that day's proceedings is not all that will be expected at our hands. We have accordingly obtained, by considerable effort, material for a more ex- tended book. In the following pages will be found, not only the re-union meeting, including speeches, toasts, &c .. but also an historical sketch of the town of Pompey, and short biographical notices and reminiscences of some of the prominent and early settlers, to which we have added a di- rectory of the names, post-office address, occupation, &c., of as many of her distinguished men and women as we have been able to obtain, with a brief mention of their public life.
The publication of this volume has been long delayed, hoping that we might be able to give biographical sketches of many more carly citizens of Pompey than will be found in the following pages. Our efforts for the last year and a half in reference to this book, have been directed to this end. Notwithstanding our appeals repeatedly made through the press, and personal applications to the descendants of the fathers of old Pompey, the absence of many sketches we had hoped to obtain is annoying to us, and will be pain- fully manifest to all acquainted with the names to which we refer. While our desire has been to produce such a volume

as would meet the approbation of all, we are sensible that many things worthy of remembrance have been omitted.
For the production of the volume as it is, we have cheer- fully given our services, and hope that it may prove a pleas- ant visitor at the fireside of Pompey's children wherever they may be, and a source of lasting happiness to us all.

A BRIEF ACCOUNT
-OF-
Measures Taken which Resulted in the Re-Union.
A desire seems simultaneously to have possessed the minds of many of the Sons of Pompey to revisit the home of their childhood, and very naturally this desire was com- municated to others only to find a hearty response. Some time during the year 1870, Hon. Horatio Seymour. Hon. William G. Fargo, Hon. E. C. Litchfield, Leonard Jerome. Esq., Dr. Lucien B. Wells, and others, having expressed a very strong desire that a meeting of former residents of Pompey should be held, Dr. L. B. Wells, of Utica, commu- nicated by letter with E. Butler, Esq., of Syracuse. The following is Dr. Wells' letter :
UTICA, July 10th, 1870.
DEAR SIR :- A few days since, meeting Gov. Seymour, he stated to me that he had been urgently solicited by W. G. Fargo, of Buffalo, to have a movement initiated for a re- union of former residents of the town of Pompey. The Governor expressed the same desire and promised to be present on such occasion, and requested me to write to some of my friends who may feel an interest in the matter. From your extensive acquaintance in Pompey, and in Syracuse. where so many families reside who were former residents of Pompey, I have taken the liberty to present the subject for your consideration, earnestly desiring that this proposed re- union shall take place at no distant day.
Respectfully Yours,
L. B. WELLS.
To Ebenezer Butler, Esq., Syracuse.
THE POMPEY RE-UNION.
This was the first measure taken which finally culminated in the Grand Re-Union of June 29th, 1871. Very soon the substance of this letter became known to many former resi- dents of Pompey, then residing in Syracuse and elsewhere, and a very general interest was created in the subject. Citi- zens of Pompey were informed of the state of feeling exist- ing abroad, and at Pompey initiatory steps were taken to bring about a re-union. Accordingly, meetings were held at Pompey, and finally, one on the 6th day of August, 1870, at the Presbyterian Church, of which Wm. W. Van Brock- lin was Chairman, and Wells M. Butler, Secretary, it was then resolved to invite the Sons and Daughters of Pompey from abroad to a Re-Union, to be held sometime in Septen- ber following, and a committee of arrangements was ap- pointed. The committee met on the 13th day of August, and after full consultation it was decided, in view of the magnitude of the enterprise, the distance from Pompey many of her children reside, and the lateness of the season, that adequate preparations could not be made in time to secure a full attendance. The committee therefore adjourned to June. 1871, to meet at the call of the chairman. In the month of May. 1871, some fifty or sixty former residents of Pompey. then residing in Syracuse, held a meeting at the office of Dr. R. F. Stevens to make arrangements for co-op- erating with the citizens of Pompey in preparation for a re-union. Levi S. Holbrook, Esq., was called to preside, and on motion, it was resolved that a committee be appoint- ed by the chair, to attend the contemplated meeting at Pom- pey, and to co-operate with the Pompey committee in mak- ing arrangements for the coming re-union. The chair appointed the following gentlemen as such committee :- Henry L. Duguid. Dr. R. F. Stevens, Calvin S. Ball, Jr., Wm. A. Sweet, Edward S. Dawson and Ebenezer Butler.
At subsequent meetings held at the same place, efforts were continued in aid of the re-union, and preparations made to ensure success.
During the time intervening between August, 1870, and
THE POMPEY RE-UNION.
June, 1871, a continued intercourse was kept up among those who were in earnest in reference to the matter, to the end that the residence of all entitled to an invitation should be- come known; and especially were the more eminent and active descendants of Pompey informed of the enterprise, so that they might be able to accommodate their business or pleasure to an attendance at the contemplated re-union.
A delegation of the Syracuse committee visited Pompey, and were present at a meeting held June 3d, 1871. It was then determined that the Syracusians should co-operate with the citizens of Pompey, and Dr. R. F. Stevens was appointed Corresponding Secretary. It was also resolved to publish an invitation circular, to be sent to all former residents of Pompey and their descendants, which should be signed by the invitation committee, inviting them to a re-union to be held at Pompey Hill, June 29th, 1871.
The daily press of Syracuse was enlisted in the project, and notices published calling the attention of the public to the high degree of enjoyment anticipated, and the large number of distinguished guests expected.
The invitation circular was also published, and these pa- pers and hundreds of the circulars were sent to every part of the Union, wherever a Pompey man or woman could be traced. The office of the Corresponding Secretary assumed the proportions of an immense business corporation, send- ing and receiving mail.
At the meeting of June 3d, held at Pompey Hill, various committees were appointed, and the committee of arrange- ments enlarged and sub-divided, so that everything caleu- lated for the comfort, pleasure' and convenience of the expected gathering of the clans of Pompey, should receive attention. The names of the persons who constituted the different committees, and the officers selected for the re- union day, are all noted in their appropriate place. From . this time up to the time appointed for the re-union, the town of Pompey, and especially the village of Pompey

Hill, was the theatre of constant plans and labor, and num- erous other meetings were held for the purpose of consumat- ing the arrangements projected at the meeting of June 3d.
It is highly appropriate in this connection to acknowledge the obligation the committee of arrangements were under to the Press of Syracuse, and especially to the Standard, Courier and Journal, for the interest taken by them in pub- lishing the invitation circular and notices of the Re-Union, both before and after the occasion. The following resolu- tion was unanimously adopted by the committee of arrange- ments :-
Resolved, That the citizens of Pompey are under high and lasting obligations to the Press of Syracuse for the un- selfish interest manifested by each of the daily papers in gratuitously publishing the notices and circulars of our Re- Union, and giving to the public so just and full an account of the interesting proceedings on that occasion, and in their behalf, and also in behalf of her sons and daughters abroad, we tender them our sincere and heartfelt thanks.
The following is the invitation circular above referred to, printed on tinted note paper. On the outside,

childhood-to renew old acquaintance and revive reminis- cences of by-gone days.
Most of the early settlers of Pompey are gone, and the survivors are fast passing away. They, with those of younger years, join in inviting the sons and daughters and former residents of the old Town, to a joyous Re-Union, promising them all a warm welcome to their old and hon- ored home.
It is desirable that all should arrive at the village as early in the day as possible, and the time will be occupied with meetings, (both day and evening,) addresses, music, feasting, visiting and recreation, with ample arrangements for the comfort and happiness of all.
Addresses are expected by ex-Governor Horatio Seymour. of Utica, ex-U. S. Senator Geo. II. Williams, of Oregon, Judge Charles Mason, of Washington, Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum and Judge Lucien Birdseye, of Brooklyn, Hon. L. R. Marsh, Leonard W. Jerome, Esq., and Hervey Shel- don, Esq., of New York, Hon. Wm. G. Fargo, of Buttalo, E. C. Litchfield, Esq., of Cazenovia, Hon. R. H. Duell. of Cortland, Hon. D. G. Fort, of Oswego, Dr. Chas. W. Ster- ens, of St. Louis, Mo., Judge Leroy Morgan and Hon. C. B.

THE RE-UNION DAY.
The morning was chilly, and clouds overcast the sky. A heavy rain had fallen the night before, but the roads were in fine condition ; a light shower fell during the forenoon of the Re-Union Day, but soon after noon the clouds dis- appeared, leaving one of those beautifully clear and trans- parent atmospheres that so grandly displays the gorgeous scenery of the surrounding hills and valleys-the pride and glory of old Pompey. Many from abroad had arrived the night before, and the early morning saw the Hill busy with life. A large tent had been spread on the village green. sufficient to accommodate three or four thousand people : evergreen banners had been thrown across the various avenues leading to the village, and one spanned the village green from the Presbyterian Church to Capt. John J. Tay- lor's store, bearing the magie word "WELCOME."
A special train had been prepared at Syracuse to convey guests to the Hill by the Syracuse & Binghamton Railroad,

via. Lafayette, and it was filled with an eager and expectant throng. Teams had been sent by the citizens of Pompey, and at Lafayette Station awaited the arrival of the train. A procession was soon formed, consisting of sixty-eight well filled farmers' wagons, which was met near the "old Ander- son Home" by two mounted marshals and an escort, sent from the village. Dresher's full band, from Syracuse, was at the head of this procession, and as they came in sight of the village the band struck up "Home, Sweet Home," and as they reached the village, about nine o'clock in the morn- ing, a wild scene of enthusiastic welcoming greeted them. About this time every avenue leading to the village, (of which there are nine,) was full of vehicles of every descrip- tion, conveying thither its freight of human hopes and ex- pectations for a glorious Re-Union. From Syracuse, in addition to the special train, hundreds came with their own conveyance, among whom was Hon. D. P. Wood, the chosen President of the Day, Gen. John A. Green, Jr., of Syracuse, and Hon. Wm. G. Fargo, of Buffalo, who, with his family, Judge Verplanck and Hon. Joseph Warren, of Buffalo, came in his mammoth family carriage drawn by six splendid horses, which he had transported from Buffalo for the occasion, affording him an opportunity to pass the home of his childhood in the vicinity of Watervale. From Caz- enovia, Fayetteville, Manlius, Delphi, and the eastern por- tion of Pompey, came an immense throng, over three hun- dred carriages passing the Academy Green upon their ap- proach to the village green. Among these was Governor Seymour, who came from Cazenovia with friends with whom he had stopped the night before. From the south, also, came an equally large concourse, and as the immense streams of humanity from every direction poured in upon the village green, they mingled together in serene confusion. Here met those who had been separated for many long years, and on every side was seen the greeting of relatives and friends -- the aged fathers and mothers living over the sunny days of childhood. Tears and smiles, sorrow and joy, chased

each other over the gathered multitude. Here was a crowd listening to the reminiscences of the early days of Pompey by Harry Hopkins. At another point might be seen the tall and commanding form of Senator Williams receiving the congratulations of the friends of his youth. While yet again, in the conscious digity of a virtuous life, moved the presence of Governor Seymour, greeting the playmates of his youthful days. And yet again, at various points, might be seen Hon. Wm. G. Fargo, Ex-Mayor of Buffalo; Hon. Charles Hayden, Ex-Mayor of Rochester; Hon. Daniel G. Fort, Ex-Mayor of Oswego : Hon. Charles B. Sedgwick and Hon. Horace Wheaton, Ex-Representatives in Congress ; Hon. LeRoy Morgan, Judge of the Supreme Court, and many others, surrounded by groups of admiring friends, re- lating incidents of early life in Pompey. And yet again, among the multitude were a large number who, though not so distinguished, have yet an equal claim to our esteem for their consistent and upright lives of integrity, honoring, as they have God, humanity and their native town. Such scenes of happy greeting as were witnessed from the time the people began to assemble till the closing of the day, and especially from 9 to 11 o'clock, on the village green, are seldom witnessed in a life time. No words can convey an adequate idea of the emotional feeling which the occasion called forthi.
At eleven o'clock, the hour appointed for the meeting in the tent on the green, the lond-mouthed cannon and the joy- fully sad peals from the old bell in the Congregational church, that had in early days summoned many present to the house of worship, now announced the hour for the formal exercises of the day. The tent was already crowded to its utmost capacity, and thousands were unable to gain admittance. Dr. Richard F. Stevens called the vast assem- bly to order, and Hon. D. P. Wood assumed his position, by order of the Committee of Arrangements, as President of the Day. The Vice-Presidents were as follows :-

The Thione of Divine Grace was then invoked by Rev. Mr. Cooper, pastor of the Congregational church, in a sol- emn and impressive praver, the language of which, it is to be regretted, has not been preserved. The immense con- course then sung the words, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," &e., to the good old-fashioned tune, " Old Hundred," accompanied by the band
At the conclusion of the singing, the President, Hon. Daniel P. Wood, said :-
Sons and Daughters of Pompey :
Upon an occasion of so much interest and im- portance, when those who have been long absent from their childhood's home have returned to visit the companions of their youthful days, and to look again upon the places familiar in life's fresh morning, it is eminently proper that some present resident of Pompey be called upon to address appropriate words of welcome to the returning pilgrims. I therefore have the pleasure of introducing to you Wm. W. Van Brocklin, who will now address you.

MR. VAN BROCKLIN'S ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Fellow Citizens, Sons and Daughters of Pompey from Abroad :
The occasion which has called together this vast assembly, is one which will ever be remembered as the brightest period of our earthly existence. To-day, Pompey welcomes home her sons and daughters. And as one who still lingers upon this soil, consecrated by the sacred ashes of your fathers, I have been commissioned by the present citizens of Pompey, without distinction of party or creed, in their behalf to express their most sincere and cordial greeting-to extend to you who have come hither from every quarter of our great and glorious land, the hospitali- ties of the town-to assure you that every door in Pompey is thrown wide open to receive you, and that you may feel the same degree of freedom that a child would, upon re- turning after a long absence to visit the parental roof. Thus are you welcomed; yet the occasion is so fraught with recol- lections of our early life, and so eminent are the characters of those who have come back to honor the place of their nativity, that I cannot dismiss the subject without briefly expressing a few thoughts that seem to me appropriate. You are welcomed; not as the prodigal son, yet with an equal degree of affection. Unlike him, in poverty you left us, with nothing but your unblemished reputations, which, thank God, you have kept pure, and your stern purpose and firm resolves to do and conquer upon the battle fields of life. Unlike him, you have not spent your substance in riotous living, yet, while Plenty has erowned your efforts, in the various appointments, which, under God, you have been called to fill, and "want goes smiling from your door," we have killed the fatted calf, and upon it will you be feasted, in token of our appreciation of your exalted worth; and as you will soon surround the table of your re-union with the loved and cherished companions of your youthful days, you will find, while joy and gladness shall abound, and mirth and song and dance shall speed along the happy hours of this day, that this is not entirely an occasion of
15
THE POMPEY RE-UNION.
unmixed festive enjoyment. Room will be left to drop the tear of affection over the vacant chairs, and over the graves of those we loved and honored, twenty, forty, sixty years ago. To them is due much of your success in life. Their careful supervision of your early education the sterling worth of the early settlers of Pompey, their examples of economy, virtue, honesty and strict integrity have left an imperishable impress upon your characters. And so we find that this re-union of Pompey's sons and daughters is composed of an array of talent seldom equalled, never ex- celled, and it impresses the mind with the transcendant value of our institutions, which open to the rich and poor alike, throughout our vast domain, opportunities to acquire fortune and fame. Within my own recollection, Pompey has furnished to our State Legislature thirteen members, six representatives in our National Congress, one United States Senator and member of the recent Joint High Commission, two Governors, five Mayors of cities, three Supreme Court Judges and one Major-General of our victorious armies, while we have heard with pleasure and pride of the promo- tion of many who have left their Pompey homes to posts of trust and honor in other States, not to speak in detail of the large list of minor offices and nominations for important trasts that would tire your patience to hear. In addition to all these, the agriculturists, artisans, commercial men, citi- zens who represent all the industrial pursuits of life that Pompey has thrown forth upon the world, challenge the re- spect and admiration of every community from Plymouth Rock to the golden shores of the Pacific. Nor are the learned professions wanting in illustrious examples reared upon this sacred soil. Of them I need not speak, for soon they will speak for themselves in yonder grove, in strains of stirring native eloquence. And yet again, Pompey's sons and daughters have plucked the fairest roses from the field of science, and the literary world does homage to the artless word painting of the unapproachable Grace Greenwood. "While all I have said, and more, is true of Pompey's chil-
