Two hundred armed men on horseback met in opposition. Dr. Bouton, called Big Thunder, and one Thompson, Little Thunder, were the leaders. The party were arrayed in bright calico dresses, were masked, and carried spears, tomahawks, muskets and various weapons. They waited all day for the sheriff, but he failed to appear. He had heard that there were great bands of armed men ready to do anything to maintain their claims.

Soon after this the legislature passed a law im- posing penalties upon persons appearing armed and in disguise.

Other meetings, however, were held, but they were smaller and less demonstrative. This war lasted seven or eight years, and ceased only through the change of the property to other hands.

The anti-rent feeling finally culminated in politi- cal action, when, in 1846, John Young was made Governor over Silas Wright.

Those found guilty of misdemeanors and im- prisoned during this war were liberated by him.

The marks of this struggle may yet be seen in the framework of those buildings where the shock of battle was felt, notably the house of Peter Ball, who was long known as the champion of the anti- rent movement.

He was the leader in litigating the question, and was brave, conscientious and prayerful. Many a time he was dispossessed, but as often re- instated by his valiant cohorts, until at last, weary with age, he was forced to leave the scene of con- flict.

With him lived a colored servant, named Susan, who, on the approach of the enemy, summoned the anti-renters from far and near by blowing on a conch shell.

The sufferings endured by these people it would be impossible to describe. Many and many a soul conscious of the right have been turned from their homes, and some of them have died broken- hearted.

Where the blame lies it is not the province of this paper to say. That it was detrimental to the growth and development of this town every candid mind will concede.

THE TOWNSHIP OF BERNE.

For years valuable time was spent amid excite- ment and revelry ; money was wasted, and a habit of indolence and a lack of thrift were engen- dered.

Churches, schools and business enterprises have felt the blighting curse of feudal tenure, and are rejoicing that the reign of terror is well-nigh over.

VILLAGES.

The mills in the town became centers for the villages. These, together with the early stores, have been mentioned under their proper heads.

BERNE.

This village is situated on the Weidman Mill property, and is the oldest, largest and most im- portant center in the town. It has a population of two hundred and fifty inhabitants. Its growth has been gradual, and the course of time has been marked by many changes. The place was known

818

HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF ALBANY.

as Beaverdam for a few years after the organization of the town.

In 1817 Henry Engle started a tavern west of the residence of Esli Whipple. This tavern bore upon its sign "Corporation Inn," and became a popular place of resort. The place therefrom, by common usage, obtained the name of Corporation. Locally this name is preferred to its proper name, Berne, which was given it on the establishment of the post-office here in 1825.

The mercantile and other business interests give the village its strength, and may be briefly men- tioned.

Theodore Settle's store, established in 1817 by Jacob Settle, is the oldest in the place, and has been handed down from father to son.

Charles E. Deitz's store, established by Moses Patten in 1828, and conducted for many years under the firm name of Moses & James Patten, came into the hands of its present owner in 1859.

E. M. Shultes's store was built for a hotel by Daniel Simmons in 1824. After a succession of owners it came into possession of the present pro- prietor in 1859, who has since conducted it in the interests of the dry goods and grocery business.

Rhinehart & Hochstrasser's .- This store was built by Oscar Tyler as a grocery in 1840. Samuel H. Davis succeeded him in the business and con- tinued it until his death in 1874. After a short time the property was leased to the present proprietors, who conduct a first-class general country store.

The place was known as Mechanicsville, between 1830 and 1834, owing to the number of mechanics living there. It has now the local name of Peoria, which was given it by Paul Settle, the miller, who owned property in the city of Peoria, Ill. The oldest dwelling in the place is that of John D. Haverly, built by William Shultes about 1800. Levi Ewings manufactured felt hats on the site of the furniture store of Charles Blade in 1850. The grocery store of William Posson was established by Peter Settle in 1824, and that of Hiram Wool- ford by Paul I. Cannaday in 1854.

EAST BERNE.

This village, situated on the Upper Beaverdam, has a population of seventy. It was known as Werner's Mills when the town was organized, and took its present name from the establishment of the post-office there in 1825. It is known locally as "Philley," a name given it by Elnathan Stafford, who kept a small tavern in the neighborhood in 1820, and purchased his liquors in Philadelphia.

Nathaniel, Albert and Benjamin Gallup started in the mercantile business here in 1825; and Stephen Willes, who had long controlled the trade in that part of the town, started also a store on the opposite side of the street.

Albert Gallup bought out Willes soon after, and continued the business under the firm name of

819

THE TOWNSHIP OF BERNE.

Seabury & Gallup until 1842, when it passed into the hands of Adam J. Warner, its present owner.

The firm of Nathaniel & Benjamin Gallup, after some changes, came into the possession of Z. A. Dyer in 1857.

His son-in-law, Frank Strewell, assumed charge of the business in 1871. A hotel, in connection with the store, is conducted by James B. Dyer.

The combined businsss done annually by these stores is sixteen thousand dollars.

SOUTH BERNE.

This village is located in the southern part of the town, and on the site of the mill property of Asa Culver. It has a population of sixty.

Previous to 1825 the place held the name of Centerville, from its being equi-distant from three of the larger villages. It is now locally known as Mud Hollow (Mud Hole), from the swampy nature of the soil south of the village.

In 1817 John P. Snyder entered into the grocery business here, and Daniel Lounsberry as- sumed the occupation of a tanner and currier.

In the year 1822 Alexander McKinley, a wag- on-maker, opened a tavern. He kept a trained bear and moose, and life-sized wax figures of noted criminals, which he exhibited from place to place.

JAMES PATTEN.

JAMES PATTEN was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on November 23, 1795. His parents were among the oldest and best known families of that section. His father's name was Samuel, and his mother's Mary Crombie.

He was the second of six children, all of them possessed of marked individuality and intelligence. The sons all rose to eminence in their careers, oc- cupying posts of usefulness and honor.

James Patten was early sent to school, and hav- ing finished the preparatory course in his native village, entered Bowdoin College, Maine, in the year 1819. In 1823 he graduated with honor, and was admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

He chose the profession of law, and after study- ing for a time at Rensselaerville, was admitted to the Bar.

He came to Berne in the year 1829, where his brother Moses had preceded him five years. Since that time he has been a permanent resident of this village.

In 1853, July 21, he was united in marriage to Mary L. Russell, of New Boston, New Hamp- shire, a woman of superior worth and intelligence. One child has been the issue of this marriage, Mary L., who was married, October 12, 1880, to R. R. Trotter, M. D., a practicing physician in the

city of Yonkers, N. Y. They have one child, James Patten Trotter, born December 19, 1881.

Mr. Patten has, during all the years of his resi- dence here, been highly esteemed by his fellow citi- zens for his urbanity, courteousness, public spirit and generosity. He has been identified with the local interests of the town and has contributed largely of his means and influence toward improvements that have been made within its limits. He was chosen to the office of Justice of the Peace in the years 1829 and 1830, discharging the duties imposed upon him with singular fidelity, prudence and skill. Men throughout the town reposed great confidence in his judgment, and sought his coun- sel in some of the most important matters con- nected with their interests. Having graduated from college, he so interested himself in the educational interests of the town that he was elected in the years 1831 and 1833 as one of the Commissioners of Common Schools in and for the town, and was chosen for Inspector of Schools in the years 1838 and 1839.

As a business man Mr. Patten is well and widely known. Finding the mercantile business more congenial than the law, Mr. Patten entered into partnership with his brother in the year 1830. The firm did an extensive business for many years under the firm name of Moses & James Patten. and was widely known for honesty, integrity and

fair dealing. The senior member, having been elected to the office of Surrogate of the County, retired, leaving the entire control to the junior member. Under his management the business continued for many years successful and prosper- ous, until in 1857 he transferred the property to Isaac Deitz and Hiram Wilsey.

After his retirement from the excitement of mer- cantile life, Mr. Patten gave his sole attention to the management of a farm owned by him in the valley of the Switzkill, and to other home interests.

As a Christian he has for more than a quarter of a century been identified with the Reformed Church of Berne. During all this time he has been a wise, consistent and faithful adherent to the cause of religion within her bounds. By his means and influence he has helped to strengthen and sustain the ordinances of the gospel.

For a number of years he was successively elected to the office of an elder, until the infirmi- ties of age compelled him to decline the honor. In every department of life, therefore, he has well and faithfully discharged his duty. In the community his character has been a tower of strength, and his example will long remain as an inspiration to those who have long known him. Now on the borders of his 89th year, the oldest man in the town, sound

in mind and ready in conversation, may he live many years more to bless, magnify and honor the relation he bears to his family and his kindred.

THOMAS J. WOOD.

Col. JESSE WOOD was the first one of the family and name who settled in the vicinity of the village of Berne. He came from Long Island about the beginning of the present century and located in the eastern part of the town of Berne, where he became a prominent and influential citi- zen. He entered the United States service at the outbreak of the war of 1812-14, and soon rose to the rank of Colonel. At the close of the war he re- turned to his home in Berne, and resumed farm- ing. He was Supervisor of Berne in 1822 and 1823, and represented his district as member of Assembly in 1833. In 1837 he disposed of his property in the eastern part of Berne, and purchased a large farm near the village of Berne, then called "Corporation," where he lived until his death, July 23, 1853, aged 83 years, 9 months and I day. His wife was Rene Warner, who was born October 10, 1770, and died May 8, 1852. They were married October 9, 1791. Col. Jesse
