ODD FELLOWS.

Green Island Lodge, No. 360, Independent Order of Odd Fellows .- This lodge was granted a charter in June, 1873, the charter members being Edward Whitney, Ira M. Husted, William Godfrey, James Delve, William B. Gardiner, John Heron, Albert McCoubry, Andrew S. Bassett, James Madden, James Glass, Edgar Gardner, Levi Coon, Frederick A. Stanley, John B. Chase and Samuel Edgerton.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The first public school of this village was the town district school, this island constituting the district known as No. 23. On November 17, 1854, the inhabitants of this village voted that this district be reorganized and governed under the Union Free School law of this State; and, in ac- cordance with said law, a board of education was elected, which consisted of Messrs. Jos. D. Eaton, Stephen Viele, James Glass, William C. Rodgers and Edmund J. Gilbert. At the present time, this school occupies two large brick buildings ; school building No. 1, which is located on Hudson avenue and was erected in 1865, has seating capacity of 456 and is composed of seven departments ; school building No. 2, which is located on the corner of West and Arch streets, was erected in 1879, and has the same seating capacity and num- ber of departments as that of building No. 1.

The circulating library in connection with this school contains upward of 700 volumes of stand- ard works. The estimated value of the school property of this village is $36, 000.

RAILROADS.

In this village are located the large repair shops, freight houses, yards and offices of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, the lessee of the old Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad ; also the freight houses, yards and offices of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, which last named railroad now owns and runs the old Troy and Schenectady Railroad.

The horse railroad which runs through George street in this village, and called the Troy and Co- hoes Horse Railroad, was organized February 11,

THE VILLAGE OF WEST TROY.

1862, and the first car ran over the track of this road on Saturday, October 10, 1863, from the east approach to the railroad bridge to the Cham- plain Canal.

LETTER CARRIERS.

The letter carrier system for the delivery of mail matter to residents of this village was first introduced and took effect on August 1, 1882, and thereafter the Green Island post-office was discontinued ; all mail matter for this village being transmitted to the Troy post-office, and there delivered to the letter carriers that distribute the same in this village ; the mail matter and letter carriers being under the control of the postmaster of Troy.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The only public building in this village is Cor- poration Hall, which is located on the corner of George and Clinton streets. This building was erected in 1884, at a cost of $10,000, and is owned by the village of Green Island. It is of brick, and contains three stories; the portions of this building being used and occupied as follows, viz. : First floor, police station and lock-up; second floor, council chamber for the Board of Trustees; third floor, public hall.

The Fire Department of this village consists of two hose companies and one steam fire engine company. Previous to the introduction into this village of the system of water works by the West Troy Water Works Company, this village depended upon the fire department of Troy to extinguish all fires, in accordance with a contract made between these municipalities, this village paying a stated amount of money per annum, and the department of that city responding to all fire alarms in this village, which were given by means of the fire- alarm telegraph system of that city, which was ex- tended into this village for that purpose.

In the spring of 1878 the village fire department was organized, which consisted of the two above- mentioned hose companies, which were named Wm. E. Gilbert Hose Company No. 1, and John McGowan Hose Company No. 2.

In the spring of 1884 this village discontinued the use of the water of the Water Works Company for the purpose of extinguishing fires, and 'pur- chased a steam fire engine, which was named Uri Gilbert Steamer Company No. I, and also made several wells or cisterns at convenient points in the public streets for holding water for fire purposes; also building several docks or piers at convenient points upon the river bank, so that the steamer could stand thereon and pump water from the river.

The Green Island Malleable Iron Works .- This foundry was established in 1852 by William Tor- rence, now deceased. About five years after, Mr. John O. Merriam became a partner with Mr. Tor- rence, under the firm name of Torrence & Merriam.

In 1869 Mr. Jones W. Lawrence became a mem- ber of the firm, the firm name being changed to Torrence, Merriam & Co. In 1871 Mr. Wm. Torrence died, and his son Wm. M. succeeded him, the firm name remaining unchanged. This foundry manufactures all kinds of the best malleable and gray iron goods; the capital invested in these works being $70,000, and employing on an average one hundred men.

The Pinkerton Iron Works. - These works were established by Mr. Robert Pinkerton in 1879, and manufacture steam boilers, bleachers, tanks and all other kinds of heavy sheet-iron goods.

The Blind Factory of Messrs. Crampton & Belden .- This manufactory was established in 1867 by this firm. This is one of the largest establish- ments of its kind in the United States, the machinery being propelled by water power, with the capacity of manufacturing 400 pair of window blinds per day. This firm also owns and runs a large factory for the exclusive manufacture of doors; this last mentioned factory is located near the junction of the Champlain and Erie Canals, and was built in 1883; has the capacity of manu- facturing 375 doors per day. The firm also manu- factures a superior class of metallic paint; the mines and mills being at Putman, Washington County, New York. They employ 200 hands and upward.

EDITOR'S PREFACE.

N presenting this History of Schenectady County and City to the public, a few words of ex- planation and acknowledgment are due.

The preparation of so large an amount of historical, biographical and statistical matter as is contained in these pages was undertaken by the publishers in a spirit of enterprise and liber- ality that required no little financial risk. The Editor was induced to assume the compilation and editing of this work, because he believed there was much important historical and statistical matter that was not in print that ought to be preserved in some compact and convenient form, and because much published and unpublished materials for the work were generously and kindly put at his disposal by the authors and publishers.

Nearly everything of special interest and value connected with ancient Schenectady is al- ready in print, most of which came from the pen of Prof. Jonathan Pearson, the highest au- thority in this section of the country, to whose nearly half a century of unrequited labor in an- tiquarian research, the State of New York owes a large debt of gratitude. We desire to make generous acknowledgment to him for the use of his published works and unpublished manuscripts, from which much material has been gleaned for this work.

It has not been convenient to make special mention, in connection with the various articles themselves, of those who have kindly prepared them, in part or whole, therefore, we wish to make the following acknowledgements: To the Rev. Wm. Elliott Griffis, D.D., who wrote the excel- lent article on Prof. Taylor Lewis; the History of the Dutch Church, Schenectady, is substan- tially the same as already published from material prepared by Prof. Pearson and Rev. Dr. Griffiis; the History of the First Presbyterian Church, is principally a discourse by Rev. T. G. Darling, D. D .; that of St. George's Episcopal Church, by Rev. Wmn. Payne, D. D .; that of the Methodist Episcopal Church, by Rev. Samuel Mckean and Prof. L. Hoyt; that of the First Baptist Church, by Rev. H. G. Day; that of the Second Reformed Dutch Church, by J. J. Marlett; and the article on Temperance, by Peter Chrisler.

L. B. Proctor, Esq., the accomplished editor of the "New York State Bar," prepared most of the article on The Bench and Bar. For the history of Union College we are indebted to articles in print, by Prof. Pearson, Dr. F. B. Hough and Prof. Wm. Wells. Prof. S. G. Howe furnished valuable information contained in the article relating to the Schools of the City. Mr. Omie F. Vedder has rendered valuable assistance in gathering matter especially relating to the Official History of the County and City, and preparing it for the press. The Editor hereby acknowledges the kindness and courtesy of the above-named individuals, and also expresses thanks to the press; to the county and city officials for assistance in examining their records; to the pastors of nearly all the churches in the county for assistance in preparing their religious history; to the secretaries of the numerous lodges, societies and military organizations for data furnished; and to the many other persons who have rendered more or less assistance during the progress of this work.

It is hardly possible that in a work like this no errors will be found; but it is confidently hoped that if inaccuracies are discovered, the great difficulty of preventing their occurrence will be considered, and that they will be charitably regarded.

Some differences of opinion regarding some old historical facts have been discovered in pub- lished works, and have come to us by tradition in a few cases. All information has been duly weighed and preference given to what seemed to be correct.

The following works have been consulted: "The Schenectady Patent," by Prof. Pearson, edited by Major J. W. Mc Murray to whom we are also indebted for the use of plates from which some of the illustrations have been taken; " Sander's Early History of Schenectady," " History

of the Dutch Church" by Prof. Pearson and Rev. Dr. Griffis; "First Settlers of Schenectady," by Prof. Pearson; " Historical Collections of the State of New York;" "Annals of Albany," published by Foel Munsell; Gazetteers of the State of New York; Spafford's Gazettcer; "Memoirs of Dr. Nott," by Van Santvoord and Taylor Lewis; "Public Service of New York State;" and other minor publications.

The history of some of the towns of the county was prepared by the Rev. E. E. Taylor, who is accredited at the head of each. Many of the illustrations will be familiar to some, but new to most of the subscribers. The portraits with which these pages are embellished, coming as they do from the bureau of the most eminent engravers of the day, will commend themselves to all who see them, not only as admirable likenesses, but as choice works of art.

And now, after two years of labor, conscious that this, in a measure, falls short of what we had proposed at the outset, the Editor may well say, as did valiant Captain John Mason, in his introduction to the Pequot War, " I wish (this task) had fallen into some better hands, that might have performed it to the life. I shall only draw the curtain and open my little casement, that so others, of larger hearts and abilities, may let in a brighter light."
