BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

WILLIAM CRANSTON.

William Cranston, son of Gardner and Desire (Prosser) Cranston, was born in Mansfield, Conn., June 28, 1837. He was of pure and direct Scotch descent, and his genealogy is easily traced to the nobility of Scotland. There is no doubt but that he was in the 7th generation from. Lord William Cranston, who came very early from Scotland to New York, and by whose landing the name of Cranston was planted on American soil. William Cran- ston came from Willimantic, Conn., to Allegany county with his uncle, Isaac

Prosser, to whom he was "bound," as was then the custom, and who thought much of him. Mr. Prosser settled on Dodge's creek in 1851 and William remained with him until he was of age, when he engaged in mercan- tile business. He was later in trade as a dealer in meat, which soon devel- oped into wholesaling, dealing in live stock. At a still later period he was a breeder of fine horses. When the Allegany oil field was opened he became actively engaged in oil and gas operations, produced the first barrel of oil obtained in the town of Genesee, and was connected from 1880 with Isaac Willets in large leasing and developing transactions. At one time he held oil leases on 5,000 acres of territory. At his death he had a claim in court against the Willets' estate amounting to thousands of dollars. He was a staunch Democrat, and influential in the party. He was U. S. enrolling offi- cer during the Civil War, was appointed postmaster of Little Genesee April 9, 1894, and was in office at the time of his death. Mr. Cranston possessed unusual energy, yet this was coupled with a disposition so kind, sympa- thetic and obliging (ever ready to do any one a favor), that he was highly prized as a neighbor and won and retained many friends. He was public spirited and ever did his best to advance whatever seemed to be for the best interests of the community. But it was the Masonic fraternity with whom he was most closely identified, and by whom he is most deeply mourned. Entering into Masonic life with all the ardor of his earnest na- ture, he aided in the promulgation of its principles and had a wide acquaint- ance with members of the order. He was affiliated with Macedonia Lodge at Bolivar, St. John's Commandery of Olean, the Consistory of Rochester and with Ismailia Temple of the Mystic Shrine of Buffalo. He died at Gen- esee July 3, 1895, and his was the first funeral of the town conducted accord- ing to Masonic rites, under the direction of Masonic bodies, who buried him with full Masonic honors and planted the " sprig of acacia " at the head of his grave. In the home circle Mr. Cranston was very kind-hearted and in- dulgent. He married Harriet Lucelia, daughter of Jared and Harriet (Bur- dick) Maxson, of Little Genesee. Their children were Norman (dec.), Thad- deus S. (a member of Wood Co. Lodge, No. 112, F. & A. M., also of Crystal Chapter, No. 157, R. A. M., of Bowling Green, Wood Co., Ohio), Byron S. (a physician), Claud M. (publisher of Portville Autograph), and William I., who graduated from the graded school at Little Genesee on the night of his father's death.

BOLIVAR .*

CHAPTER LXIX.

DOLIVAR is the southeast town of the Holland Purchase and is distin- B

guished in the survey of that land as "Town One, Range One." It is one of the southern tier of the towns of the county and borders on the state of Pennsylvania. An elevation taken in front of the Newton House in the vil- lage of Bolivar shows that its altitude there is 1,250 feet above the level of the sea, and that of the hills is in some places several hundred feet more. The highest altitude of the county (2,500 feet) is claimed for the hills in the southeastern part, near Stony Lonesome. It contains 22,600 acres of land and its equalized value of real estate is (1895) $553,811, and its total equalized valuation of real and personal estate is $613,206, of which $89,284 is assessed to corporations. The amount of taxes spread on this valuation is $5,527.25. The total amount of taxes for 1895 was $6,056. The population in 1830 was 499; 1835, 752; 1840, 408; 1845, 517; 1850, 708; 1860, 959; 1870, 959; 1880, 1,029; 1890, 2,233; 1892, 2,219. There are eight school districts which will receive in 1896 public school money amounting to $1,719.43, apportioned thus: Dist. 1, $938.32. Dist. 2, $110.52. Dist. 3, $106.32. Dist. 4, $107.64. Dist. 5, $104.66. Dist. 6, $130.80. Dist. 7, 116.70. Dist. 8, $104.47.

The surface of the town is broken and irregular, consisting of high, steep and disturbed hills and their narrow picturesque valleys. There are but two valleys of marked width in the town, one of which, that formed by Little Genesee creek, runs southwesterly from Wirt through the village of Bolivar and across the northwest corner of the town into the town of Gene- see. The other valley is the southeastern part of the town, and has from the earliest white visitations, and perhaps from the days of Indian occupa- tion, been known as Honeoye valley. Horse creek, a small tributary of Honeoye creek, flows through the southwest part.

The town lies almost entirely in the Mississippi valleys, as all its streams are tributaries of the Allegany which flows into the Ohio and that into the Mississippi. The northeast corner is an exception to this as the water there runs into the Genesee valley streams, and this portion of the town is therefore a part of the St. Lawrence valley. The "divide" is not far from Allentown, and in coming along the road between that village and Bolivar the change of the direction of the streams is hardly discernible.

The soil of the valleys is mostly a gravelly loam with some alluvial flats, that of the hills a tenacious red clay loam. The agricultural facilities of the town tend strongly to dairying, which has in some places attained consider- able proportions. Since the development of the Allegany oil field, however,

BOLIVAR.

the town has been more noted for its oil production and the industries aris- ing from its development than for its agriculture. Of some parts of the rough land it has been said, "It is too valuable to use for farming pur- poses."

The town was formed from Friendship, Feb. 15, 1825, and named from the noted Gen. Bolivar, the South American "Liberator," who was at that time, like the Cubans of to-day, largely the recipient of American sympathy. The first town organization of which the territory of Bolivar formed a part was the old town of Whitestown, which was created in 1780 and included all of Western New York west of a line drawn north and south through what is now the city of Utica. Later towns of which Bolivar has formed part have been Leister, formed March 30, 1802, one of the original towns of Genesee county. The name was soon changed in compliment to Leicester, son of Oliver Phelps, and became Leicester. Then came Angelica, formed Feb. 25, 1805, Caneadea, created March 11, 1808, and Friendship, organized March 24, 1815. From a part of Bolivar and a portion of Friendship Wirt was orga- nized April 12, 1838.

The first town-meeting of Bolivar was held at the store of Hollis B. Newton March 21, 1825. This store stood on the site of the Clark House of to-day, and a part of the hotel as used to-day was then standing. At this meeting the new organization of Bolivar took form by the election of these officers: Supervisor, Asa Cowles; town clerk, Austin Cowles; assessors, Pliny S. Evans, Jonah French and Eli LeSuer; collector, Elijah Fuller; overseers of the poor, Jonathan Hitchcock and Simeon Wightman; constables, Elijah Fuller and Philip Appleby; school commissioners, Levi Appleby, Alvan Richardson and Ebenezer Kellogg; overseers of highways-district No. 1, Elijah Fuller; district No, 2, Asa Cowles; district No. 3, John Scott; district No. 4, Philip Appleby; district No. 5, N. R. Bliven; district No. 6, Simeon Wightman; district No. 7, E. Rogers; district No. 8, William Kellogg; district No. 9, M. R. Randolph; district No. 10, Samuel Frost; district No. 11, N. B. Scott; district No. 12, Joshua Chapman.

The settlement of the town can be directly traced to Zephaniah Smith, a resident of Unadilla, Otsego county, who in 1816 here built a hunting camp of logs (with a loft in which to sleep out of the way of prowling beasts) which he covered with birch bark. He made this his headquarters for hunting and trapping operations for several months in each year until 1819. It stood almost directly across the road from the Baptist church now standing on the Ackerman farm in the southern part of Richburg. Mr. Smith made such representations of this section in Otsego county as to attract the attention of some of its enterprising citizens and the result was that a number of families from that section ultimately made new homes here. Mr. Smith was never a resident, but his log hut was the first resi- dence of several of the newcomers and was at last burned by the Indians.

EARLY SETTLERS .- The first permanent white settler was Timothy Cowles, a native of Vermont, who came from his native state to Otsego

county, and then to Bolivar, arriving December 8, 1819. He went west and died there in the year 18 -. He brought with him two sons, Alvin T., born in Otsego county in 1808, and Erastus, born in Friendship in 1819 while the family were enroute for Bolivar. Asa came to Bolivar in February, 1820. He served as the first supervisor of the town in 1825, 1826 and 1827. In 1820 he and his brother Austin built and occupied a house together until 1821, when Asa built himself a house. Asa immediately became identified with the business interests of the town and was a useful and intelligent set- tler. He built a gristmill on the site now used by C. and E. Smith, and a part of the old frame is the timber put into its foundation by Asa Cowles in 1824. He died in Bolivar Oct. 21, 1829, and was buried in the old burying- ground, now a part of the present cemetery. At the head of his grave stands the first tomb-stone erected in the town. It is in a good state of preservation and an object of historical interest, being erected in 1830.

Jonathan Hitchcock, properly called the second permanent settler, came in 1819, locating on a part of lot 48, and occupying the hut vacated by Smith, enlarging and rebuilding the same. Mr. Hitchcock was the first settler to move his family into the town which arrived at Bolivar on February 15, 1820, from Unadilla, N. Y. When Mr. Hitchcock first came he was accompanied by his two step-children, Samuel and Polly Buckley. He left his wife and four small children in Unadilla. In November, 1819, he concluded to return for them, and left Samuel and Polly with their uncle Azel Buckley who had settled in Wirt. Before his return to Otsego coun- ty, Mr. Hitchcock cleared and sowed about five acres of wheat, rolled him- self up a log house and became a permanent settler. So Bolivar was practi- cally settled in 1819 by Timothy Cowles and Jonathan Hitchcock as the first two settlers, and there are some now living in this town that have person- ally listened to their oft-repeated stories of their hardships as pioneers. Benjamin F. Cowles, a direct descendant of the family of Timothy Cowles, was born in 1803, came here in 1824, and is a familiar figure on the streets of Bolivar, being hale and hearty, and a fountain of information in regard to the early history.

Christopher Tyler came from Friendship in the winter of 1819, and was accompanied on the route from Otsego county to Friendship by two broth- ers of Timothy Cowles, viz., Asa and Austin Cowles who came from there to Bolivar in 1820. When Mr. Hitchcock concluded to return to Otsego county he did not vacate the Smith hut but left nearly all his household goods there, so when Tyler arrived and found the hut nearly empty he moved in and was living there when Hitchcock and family returned. Both families then occupied the house until Tyler built a log house the following season. Tyler was a native of Rhode Island. He was followed by quite a number of relatives; some settled here while others went west or returned to Otsego county or Rhode Island. Luther Austin came from Friendship in 1821 and settled on the farm now occupied by Rowland Burdick immediate- ly north of the village on the " Salt-rising road." He was a millwright, built
