The abbreviations and references used in the former editions of the CITY DIRECTORY have necessarily been somewhat increased in the present publication, in consequence of an increased population, de- fective numbering of the streets, and a variety of other causes, but will be generally intelligible, and especially when reference is made to the following abbreviations :- h, house; res, residence ; bds, boards ; n, north ; e, east ; s, south; w, west ; n s, north side ; e s, east side ; ss, south side ; w s, west side ; I, lot or lots; ab, above ; bl, below; er or cor, corner ; junct, junction; opp, opposite ; clk, clerk.


Where the streets are not regularly numbered, it has been gener- ally preferred to describe the location, which, it will be seen, has been given in a different manner from the descriptions in former editions of the DIRECTORY. For instance : William Haworth's house is located on the south side of South street, and the second house west of Miller street. And again-when reference is made to a place that is west (or any other direction) from some given street, it is understood, in most cases, to be between that street and the next street, parallel to it, in that direction. For example: reference is made to a place on Elizabeth street, east of Genesee street, it is not east of Charlotte, the next street. The exceptions to this rule, in this work, it is believed, are as rare as they were unavoidable.


As is usual, in addition to Citizens' names, there have been added in alphabetical order, many names of Public Officers, Churches Hotels, Squares, Parks, Blocks, and other localities, either by enter ing the proper name, or the more familiar one, or by entering both; and also the names of business Corporations, Companies, and Co partnerships or Firms, under their corporate or associated titles.

UTICA:


ITS PAST AND ITS PRESENT.


-


To a man who has lived a life of three score and ten years, the time may appear short; but in this space of time, however short, Utica has become what it is. Seventy years ago, as the venturous pioneer wound his lonely way along the banks of the Mohawk River on the road-way leading to Fort Stanwix, through the hunting grounds of the various tribes of savages then inhabiting this part of the State, his heart was gladdened at the sight of three or four log cabins erected at Old Fort Schuyler ; here, in comparative secu- rity, he might rest for the night, and if in need, with a hearty wel- come, partake of the back-woodsman's homely fare. A few rods west of the site of Old Fort Schuyler, (which stood on or near the ground now occupied as the residence of the Hon. A. Hubbell,) Demond had erected his little log cabin, on the north side of the road near First Street; Cunningham's log house was on the grounds now occupied for Bagg's Hotel; Crisman's stood a few rods farther west; McNamee had also made an improvement, and built a log house, nearly opposite where the State Lunatic Asylum now stands. At these and a few other places, the woodman's axe had been used in making openings into the apparently interminable forest; but the Oak, Maple and Hemlock, still waved their broad arms over most of the beautiful slope of ground which is now the site of the City of Utica.


In the year 1772, Gen. Philip Schuyler purchased Cosby's Manor, (on a part of which Utica is located,) for the joint benefit of himself, Gen. John Bradstreet, Rutger Bleecker, and John M. Scott. In 1786, the late John R. Bleecker made a survey of the Manor, and divided it up into 106 lots, for the purpose of a division of the land among the owners. On the completion of the partition, the lands were offered for sale on favorable terms, and the settlers rapidly in- creased ; and in 1790, Old Fort Schuyler could boast of a Store kept by John Post in his log dwelling house, and in 1791, Mr. Post erect- ed a building on the corner of Genesee and Whitesboro Streets, where he kept a Store and Tavern jointly. In this little Inn, many thrilling events took place, the tomahawk was frequently raised, and the scalping knife brandished over the heads of the occupants. " Fire Water" had been imbibed, and more must be given; and


4


more " Bacca," or the demoniac vengeance of the red man threat- ened to do its bloody work. Mr. Post was the first Postmaster, and it was currently reported that six letters were received in one day. After him, Dr. Carrinton, who was succeeded by Dr. Marcus Hitchcock. In 1794, Moses Bagg, sen., opened a tavern on the site of the Hotel now bearing his name. Dr. Carrinton, the first Physi- cian, commenced the practice of his profession about this time, and in a few years after, opened a Store for the sale of Drugs, Dye- Woods, Paints, &c. About 1795, the York House (now the residence of Wm. Baker, Esq.,) was erected by the Holland Land Company- this was the first brick house. In 1792, a bridge was erected across the River, between First and Second Streets, at Kip's Landing. The first Mail was carried by Simeon Pool, in 1793; the contract of Mr. Pool soon passed into the hands of Jason Parker. In 1798, Old Fort Schuyler was Incorporated a Village, " to be known and dis- tinguished by the name of the Village of Utica." The name, " Uti- ca," was proposed by the late Erastus Clark, father of the present popular Recorder of Utica. In 1796, William McClean established the " Whitestown Gazette," at New Hartford, which was then in Whitestown, the second paper established in the county ; the first being the " Western Sentinel," printed in Whitesboro. In 1798, Mr. McClean removed his paper to Utica, and continued its publication under the name of " Whitestown Gazette and Cato's Patrol." This was the first paper published in Utica. Thomas Walker established the " Columbian Patriotic Gazette," at Rome, in 1799 ; and in 1803, Mr. Walker removed to Utica, and continued its publication for a long series of years. April 9th, 1805, a new Charter was granted to the Village, and its bounds extended. The first Trustees elected were, Erastus Clark, Jeremiah Van Rensselaer, Jr., Nathan Williams, Francis A. Bloodgood, and Jerethmeal Ballou; and at their first meeting, May 13, David W. Childs was appointed Clerk, with a salary of $5 for the year; Isaac Coe, Treasurer, and Worden Ham- mond, Collector. They also voted to appoint twenty-five able- bodied men as firemen; and Gurden Burchard, Daniel Budlong, John Hooker, Ezekiel Clark, John Hobby, Abijah Thomas, Moses Bagg, Jr., John C. Devereux, William Fellows, Thomas Ballou, Worden Hammond, Ebenezer B. Shearman, Henry Trowbridge, Thomas Walker, Ralph W. Kirkland, Hugh Cunningham, James Bloodgood, Aaron Eggleston, Judah Williams, Elisha Capron, Rufus Brown, James Van Rensselaer, Oliver Babcock, and Benjamin Bal- lou, Jr., were appointed. Our highly respected townsman, Thomas Walker, Esq., is the only individual of this number now living. At this time the Village contained probably 600 persons, several new streets had been made, a store house had been erected on the bank of the River, at the foot of Division Street, and a line of boats were running from Schenectady to Utica ; they were propelled down by the use of oars, and against the current mostly by the aid of setting poles, three or four of which were used on each side of the boat, in


.

the hands of as many men. The father of the writer, performed nearly the entire journey from New York to Utica, by water, in the short space of two weeks.


The Seneca Turnpike Company received a charter for their road in 1801, and therefore the old road, curving around to the south- west from the River through a part of Genesee street, was aban- doned ; but still a part of the old corduroy road is in a perfect state of preservation under the pavement of Genesee street ; and if our City Fathers would remove about two and a half feet in depth of the stone and sand at the head of Hotel street, they might settle their corporation dinners (or suppers) by a ride on a corduroy road after the old style.


By the construction of the new turnpike and other improvements made about this time, the facilities for travel and transportation were greatly improved, and gave Utica an impetus in its business, which has been gradually extending to the present time. In 1813, the Village contained a population of 1700; 1816, 2861; 1820, 2972 ; 1823,4017 ; 1825, 5040; 1828, 7466; 1829, 8010 ; 1830, 8335 ; 1835, 10,183; 1840, 12,782; 1845, 12,190; 1850, 17,556; 1855, 22,- 183; and at this time, about 25,000; with upwards of 20 Churches, a large and elegant City Hall, 3 large Academies, a City Library, 2 Orphan Asylums, a commodious City Hospital, stone Jail, 5 Banks with an aggregate capital of $1,610,200, 2 Savings' Banks, 3 daily and 5 weekly Newspapers, besides monthly and semi-monthly papers, increasing the number of issues to about sixteen; one of the most perfect Cotton Factories in the country, in which 350 ope- ratives are employed, 3 large Steam Woolen Factories, besides a large number of manufactories for locks, screws, machinery, leather, steam engines, flour mills, &c., &c. The City is well lighted with Gas; and bountifully supplied with pure spring water, by a company formed for that purpose. Two Railroads run into and through the City, and two large Canals. Plankroads and turnpike roads radiate towards all parts of the neighboring country. The streets are spa- cious, well paved, and delightfully shaded with a great variety of forest trees. There are many fine blocks of Stores, and the dwel- lings are neat, and, in many cases, elegant. The Forest Hill Ceme- tery is situated two miles southerly from the City. There, in the shade of the venerable wood, the dead lie wrapt in slumber, amid the loveliness of Nature. The State Lunatic Asylum is beautifully situated on a rise of ground in the west end of the City, and con- sists of several large and expensive buildings of stone and brick, and of sufficient capacity to accommodate from 450 to 500 patients. The City, with all these benefits and luxuries within its own bor- ders, lies in the heart of one of the richest and most wealthy. agri- cultural and manufacturing districts in the State. Utica received a City Charter by an act of the Legislature, passed February 13, 1832. The tax was limited at $8000. Joseph Kirkland was elected Mayor in 1832, '34 and '35; Henry Seymour in 1833; John H. Ostrom,

Fish, 1855; Alrick Hubbell, 1856 and '57; Roscoe Conkling, 1858.


The following is a list of the Presidents of the Village from 1805 to 1831, inclusive: Jeremiah Van Rensselaer, 1805 and '6 ; Erastus Clark, 1807; Morris S. Miller, 1808; Talcott Camp, 1809, '10, '11, '12, '13 and '14; Abram Van Santvoord, 1815; Rudolph Snyder, 1816 and '20; Nathan Williams, 1817, '18 and '19 ; William Clark, 1824, '25, '28 and '29 ; Ezra S. Cozier, 1821, '22, '23, '26, '27, '30 and '31. Mr. Snyder, we are happy to say, is still with us, and in good health, and is probably the only one of the number living.
